they know that there will be many more funerals before the guns fall silent. oh, the prime ministers of poland lavine and the czech republic travelled to give by train on tuesday in a show of solidarity from ukraine's u allies. the 3 ladies met with members of the ukrainian government, including president, florida, mi zalinski, e u officials, voice de concern over the trip security risk, and i said the politicians were acting without any formal mandate. no president zalinski has signaled that he is ready to accept that his country will not join nato ukraine ruling out of future membership of the west in military alliance was one of vladimir putin's key demands in the run up to the invasion. there was an issue, rena, the ukraine is not a member of nato. me. we understand that were decent people we've heard for years that the doors were open, but we also heard that we could not join or 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 our partners who are helping us more well early i asked chris, christine birth sienna from the german marshall fund. what impact this admission from zalinski would have. it's an important step for president lansky to say politically that a foot that he understands that this is not what i ukraine will have and what it wants to have right now. the lumpy has been saying similar things in the last last week or so at various interviews. but it requires a policy change in ukraine and in order to, to set that aside, the potential for nato membership. what so equally important though, is a, whether this is something that president putin still finds to be the most important detail and to be what europe is going to offer,

rather than nato membership to ride security guarantees. and to provide a sense of belonging to ukraine after this horrible struggle and brutal war against russia on the side. the question is, does couldn't really want to focus on nato and you create not being and they don't, or has he now suffering these losses? this is very difficult to fight high casualty rate. does you want to take all of ukraine? not just when the nato question gets, it really depends what kind of appetite flooding the person has right now. let's talk a bit more broadly about nicer. the head of natural, it's been hinting that the alliance will have to radically change its security stance in europe in various summits happening shortly. what changes do you expect or on the way it's really important for nato to look at itself in the context of the ukraine, where the war,

i should warn you. crane nato has put plans in place reinforcements for the eastern flank of the alliance. the baltic states, poland. romania are right on the remaining of colon right on the front lines of ukraine in the baltic states, way between the sea and bella, root colon, and grad russia. these are much more bold territories, especially since president putin said that he would like to push nato's military president back to where it wasn't 90. which means for all of these countries which is joined nato. nato should look at these countries and say, what do we need to position their to our plans from post 2014 and good. looking at the kind of war effort that russia is putting forth and ukraine in 2022. what nato have given ukraine before the invasion. so that this invasion happen, that before thinking about kind of increase in support, is that what should be on the table?

that was the gym and marshall funds, christine both seen speaking to me a little bit earlier. well, european union has imposed a new round of sanctions against russia, aimed at stifling financing of its invasion of ukraine. the measures also hit the inner circle of prison and flattering me, put him the w, christine montoya, as more now from brussels. as russia continues to, bearer ukraine with bomb, the european union has delivered its latest blow to the kremlin with a fresh round of sanctions. they are designed to punish moscow for the death and devastation it has brought on its neighbour. the measures will be felt in russia by both the ordinary and the elite. they include banning the export of luxury goods to russia, stopping, steal product imports from russia, freezing the assets of the billionaire oligarchy, roman abramoff rich,

and at this close to vladimir putin and denying russia special trading access into the e u market. the e essays, this new round of sanctions will put more economic pressure on the kremlin further crippling its ability to finance the invasion in c, ukraine. but the block is still sending hundreds of millions of euro's insur rushes coffees every single day. that money is payment for the oil and gas. europe buys from russia to keep the heating and lights on banding rushes. energy would deal a heavy blow to its economy, but it would also hurt ordinary europeans who are already seeing the cost of their living. so we have to find a solution, how we, as so soon as we can face out of this fossil fuel delivers. but for the moment it is still extremely difficult. but this would make, of course, a huge impact because right now, every day, we transfer 7 to 800000000 euros. i'm on the state budget or to the state budget of

russia. since the end of february, the west has imposed thousands of sanctions on russia for its aggression towards ukraine. in just weeks, russia has overtaken iran to become the most sanctioned country in the world. it's not clear if this pressure will be enough to force russia to stop or to journalists working for the usa network. fox news have been killed in ukraine, cameraman, p as acquisition key here at the front of this picture and ukrainian producer alexandra, cuz she never died when the vehicle they were travelling in outside of kia came under fire. fox news said another report has been hospitalized, at least for journalists, have died covering the conflicts since it began around 3 weeks ago. now to some of the other stories making news around the world, us president joe biden signed
