but left with nothing. here, these are some intense hours in the besieged city achieve. i'm joy now by kiera roodick, a member of the ukrainian parliament. it's good to have you on the program. this curfew is now in force. what's the mood like right now where, where you are and do you think people have enough supplies to get them through this 35 hour curfew? hello, good evening. thank you so much for having me. so we have been preparing for a sea, both civilians and the government in a while. it's actually have been since day one when the 10th one to surround the city and start us out. so right now, most of civilians do have the food and supplies or, and these were able to prepare. and as for the ones who can provide for themselves

the cd and myself personally. and they are many teams and give or helping out to make sure that each citizen has at least like $3.00 to $5.00 day supplies at home. so they wouldn't have to get out. busy for food and honestly the grown of ours crisis has taught us a lot so book and supplies at home. as for the curfew that was implemented, we do understand that it is because russians would most likely try to attack. and again, we're ready to that ground attack, and people and givens, and a territorial defense resistance teams. the army, we are training can we're getting ready. we're ready for the siege. and the p is city is now getting to be a fortress. what we are not ready for is there shelly? and their missiles are coming from the air. there is nothing that you can do as a person to protect yourself from the missiles, from the bonds that are coming with this makes me feel helpless. and this is it.

what is mixed? it's so hard on us miss. really, of me just ask you about that. you know, the fact that you don't have strong air defenses and in with this curve you do you feel like you've been told to stay in doors and pray, but you're not hit by a russian air strike tonight while people are sent are told to go to the bon shelters in the hear air siren, but yes, the feeling of inability to protect yourself from this most dangerous part from the ear. this actually is devastating, and that is why as a member of ukrainian parliament, as a leader of the party, i continue pleadings to all our need to partners to everybody who can here to provide us with a no fly zone or a jet or any air force protection, so we will not be sitting just waiting until the bombs will be coming to our heads at if it fresh of come in. let them come in,

we will be fighting them. we will be standing against them. we have been training for that. we will be ready, but what if they will be just trying to bombard and get the city to the ground? there will be a very small amount of thing that we can do. we can hide it shelters and we can, you know, the, the no fly zone is not made. it says it's not going to happen. even if it were, it wouldn't happening in the next 2435 hours that you're having to face this curve for you. you have not lift keith in about half of the population of the city as also decided to stay what, why are you still there? because this is my city and this is my home. i wouldn't have another one and my people make a stitch and he is here and they are all watching. and they are looking at me trying to find a signs of this fear in me a soul to, to use it as

a reason to give up. and i'm saying no, we're not giving up. we are fighting, we're standing here because we will need to prove that the city and we are protecting it. and no matter what happens, we will be ready to give russians very, very with find the way that we are giving them the fight everywhere. a in ukraine where the attacking and regarding the no fly zone, i can tell you, and we do have a plan. our plan is to fight russians, and our plan is to when are you planning? i should it what? what about you the do you have? do you have a machine gun? i mean, are you prepared to actually if there's urban warfare, are you prepared to fight? yes, i do have my machine gun and i am ready to fight russians. and i have been training along with my resistance team that i put together and her with training for the last 23rd for the last 20 days. so i am ready to give them

a good fight if necessary, and the same as i as the same as myself. there are many, many people in give who are standing up to the arm kiera roodick, a member of the ukrainian parliament. miss ruby, you're very brave. woman, we certainly wish you and everyone in cave all the best to night. thank you. thank you. and glory to crane. well, the prime ministers of poland lydia and the czech republic are in keep to night to show european solidarity with you great. after arriving and came by trained earlier today, the 3 leaders met with president zalinski and his cabinet. now eve officials have voiced concern about this trip, considering security risk. they've said that the 3 leaders acted and are acting without any formal mandate. and in an apparent softening on one very important issue, president zalinski has signaled that he is ready to accept that his country may not

join nato. now ukraine ruling out a future membership in the western military ally once alliance. that has been one of vladimir putin's key demands in the run up to the beach. there was an issue, rena, the ukraine is not a member of nato me. we understand that weren't decent people and we've heard for years that the doors were open. but we also heard that we could not join over to, that's the truth and it must be recognized or not. but i'm glad that our people are beginning to understand this and rely on themselves and, and our partners who are helping us. well that was a ukrainian president, all of them is zalinski. they're less kind of analyze what we just heard. i want to bring in our corresponded terry. short. she's in brussels is good to see you, terry. be those words from zelinski? it's a lot different than what we've been hearing. how significant is this statement for nato and it strategy towards russia?

you know, brent, i think it's more significant for ukraine itself because as we've been discussing now for a long time, nato did not intend to admit ukraine in the very near future. and that's why it was puzzling to everyone why russian president vladimir putin used this as one of the excuses for his invasion. but i think it, it is recognizing the reality of that for the ukranian people that the president was speaking about. as for nato strategy, when it is rejecting moscow's demands that nato not enlarge to take in even more members, this is not just ukraine, that nato is talking about. this would also refer to example, georgia, which also wants in, in and to any other country that wants to join nato in the future. but i think that this is president zalinski just readying his citizens one more time for the fact that this is not in the near future for them. if ever. earlier this afternoon, the secretary general lady in stoughton berkey spoke to reporters at nato

headquarters. he talked about the war in ukraine. i want you to listen to part of what he said. for months, we have exposed russia's long list of lies. they claimed they did not plan to invade ukraine, but they did. they claimed they were withdrawing their troops. but the sent in even more they claim to be protecting civilians, but they are killing civilians. now, they are making absurd claims about biological labs on chemical weapons in ukraine. this is just an old ally. and we are concerned that moscow could stage a false flag operation, possibly including chemical weapons. i tell you we're at

that press conference, analyze from me what we just heard from stilton there. i think the most striking thing brent is that he use the word lie over and over. i mean, this is things that you hear people use in normal conversation, but it's not the kind of stark language you often hear from diplomats and politicians and heads of international organizations. and i think that was, was very remarkable today. and especially that lat, that last part were stolen, bird was talking about the fact that russia has claimed that ukraine has been manufacturing, chemical, and biological weapons. this is something we know that the alliance is increasingly concerned about, that russia may in fact be reading a chemical attack of its own. and that's why you heard stilton burg here today. and also in an interview he did with a newspaper over the weekend, raise these concerns because they're continuing this, this practice of trying to reveal as much of what they think russia is planning to

do as possible. so that it doesn't come as a surprise. so that it perhaps serves as some sort of deterrent, which hasn't worked that well. but in any case, we understand both from stilton bergs, words and from officials that we've been speaking to off the record. that this is something that is of increasing concern for them. they're on very high alert for a chemical attack. there was des terry schultz there more than a 1000000 children have fled ukraine since the war began, including the 10 year old twins, dimitri and victoria, who made it to italy. and on their 1st day of school, this is what greedy them at the door with the 200 people to teachers gathered to give the 2 new arrivals a warm welcome at the don milani's school. enough of a show of humanity in the face of it,

he should you want to d w. news business news is up next with daniel winters. stick around. he will be right back. tooth tooth with they've had no peace for for decades. people of iraq country is devastated and there's no end to violence. how did it come to this group this is reveal and unprecedented story. we.
