the the kremlin says ukraine is refusing to negotiate the military operation will continue as an advisor to ukraine president is not satisfied with the condition. russia is offering for peace negotiations. a force in moscow defense ministry contradicts the key of claim. the russian military hit her residential lock and key from both sides are blaming each other. let's kindergarten in one of the net districts is just one of the places that was shelled on a saturday morning correspondence report from the dawn by conflicts or where a kindergarten came under fire. unfortunately, no civilian. her russian cargo ship is intercepted by from competing with trying to look off the strip to sanctions imposed by the you over rushes,
1:01 pm
military action in ukraine. the law from oscar. thanks for joining us. this our, on our teams and ashmore's bring you the top story, of course, on the conflict in ukraine, trying to bring you as many stories from both sides and verify as much information . and what is a very fast developing situation. now the ukranian president's office says t if is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russia, foresees for negotiations. that's off the crumb and spokesman claim ukraine is refusing to hold off, and russia will continue what it describes as a special operation. his trusts, once again, the russian army is not targeting civilian era to read me on yesterday when we were expecting negotiations with the ukrainian leadership, the russian president ordered a suspension of the russian armed forces advance. but as the ukrainian side has
1:02 pm
refused to negotiate, the advance of the main russian forces resumed this afternoon in accordance with the plan of the operation. the russian army units have been given orders to advance wherever they were advancing in different parts of ukraine. because as the russian military puts it, kiev decided to refuse to take part in negotiations out there also dressing. and they've done that many times before that for the washing army, the civilian areas are not targets, not in any case. that is denied reports in the cranium, media, and statements by the ukranian, politicians that the civilian areas are suffering from russian air strikes. now, we do have to understand that the negotiations, this is something that's been speculated about widely since mid friday.
1:03 pm
we saw at one point late on friday evening that direct talks between voters, the landscape voted were potent were possible. but from the rush inside, we heard that it was a bit of a hot and cold approach. by key of 1st they said yes. then they said, no, they agreed that many could be the location for such negotiations according to the russian side. however, the problem then said that kiev wanted to hold these talks in warsaw, poland, and then disappeared for several hours. so again, the rushing side currently is saying that ukraine refused altogether. and it could have happened because he didn't want to accept the initial terms that russia put forward before those negotiations. now here's what we heard from the president's office. ukraine, of course, did not refuse negotiations,
1:04 pm
but that's about negotiations, which by the way, have not yet taken place. ukraine and president zelinski categorically renounced me unacceptable conditions or ultimatums from the russian side. it is very important to carefully watch out for any official statement coming from both sides. and these kind of statements are surely something that could affect the possibility of talks being announced or not. that's why really have to watch out, for instance. now, for the remarks of, of older miss lensky who said a couple of hours ago that ukraine needs to immediately be accepted in the european union. this is what exactly we heard from the great leader. not stuff from the moment. the decisive moment has come to close once and for all the issue of ukraine's accession to the you are you. i hope that germany and hungary will have the courage to support this decision. now in stark contrast to that,
1:05 pm
we may remember that on friday the grading president said that he's ready to discuss new troll status for ukraine. so this is a real contradiction for the rushing side. definitely possibly even a red line and we do understand. and again, the experts have been talking about that these are the kinds of statements by key of that could really annoy russia and lead to further action announced by the kremlin rushes military operation is now and its 3rd day that says, condemnation understand me from many western states has hit fever pitch. this sounds is more explosions are reported in ukraine's capital t. f. of these images show what appears to be a motel strike on a residential towel on the outskirts of kip. federal floors have been damaged that some clear so far if there are any victims, we are trying to establish what exactly happened. russian defense ministry sources
1:06 pm
say it was caused by mis, all god and failure in ukraine's edison system. a key of says it was a russian missile strike when you cranes, capital officials arising residence to take refuge in bomb shelf is resident saw seeking safety. also in the cities metro stations o, one verified footage has emerged on line showing, fighting in the conoco of region which borders russia and the don bus plains have allegedly been flying over the city of buck alaya, shots and powerful explosions have been heard. russian forces have allegedly destroyed ukrainian army warehouse. the son of schilling is being heard in multiple parts of ukraine, including of course, the eastern. now, russia says, independent republics of the nest, where all these are one call sort of explains what exactly is going on. pull about
1:07 pm
7 pm local time. we heard so really allows sounds of artillery here in that jeanette scans from the reports that we're getting from the officials. i here are those were 152 millimeter or harvard servers. so or, or they said it could be multiple rocket launcher systems that were shelled at said genetics a little bit earlier. now this happens a near the airport about says 6 kilometers from where i'm standing a right now. as the results at the moment, municipal transfer public transportation has been halted in the area and emergency services are on the scene, trying to figure figure out the result of fall. what had happened. now earlier on saturday in genetic at least step 3 private residences have also been damaged as, as shelling a continued stay here in this city. no, no reports about casualties about what happened earlier on saturday evening. but
1:08 pm
over the last 48 hours, there were at least 7 civilians killed in la ganske and a generic as the result of the ukrainian shelling. of course her scores were injured as the results are as well. now civilian infrastructure on the outskirts of the nest had been damaged and as a result, thousands of people are now without electricity or without access to any water. now, several buildings, sins and ask, had been damaged on friday as well going on saturday morning. now one of those buildings boys a kindergarten, thankfully there were no people there at the time of the shelling, but nevertheless the kindergarten was heavily damaged. all the windows were blown out and i visited the place a little bit earlier on saturday. and so this is the footage that i came back with this kindergarten in one of our next districts had just one of the places was
1:09 pm
shelled on saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. pieces that i fell off the building, at least the 32 windows here had been shattered. and this is the place of impact if you can point the camera this way. right next to begin kindergarten. thankfully, a was done overnight. no kids were here. no teachers. i saw nobody was hurt, but you can take a look all around me. this is a heavily populated residential area. there are people living in each and every one of these houses and i can see absolutely no military positions here at all. but the front line is located not very far away from here, but this place and then ask it's been shelled for out the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on call for a hearty don't ask. now, don't ask for public officials, claim local militia groups have taken control of settlements around the city of
1:10 pm
nikolai, for these are images from that location. they also claim to have taken 2 territories on a way to multiple, as well as, as well as me by roads. now the rushman is show defense claims ukrainian nationalist fighters are using truck mountain motors in the battlefield religiously . but believe in the, the nationalist battalions use so called mendera cars, which have increased off road capability and are equipped with large caliber, small arms or mortars. let me remind you that this tactic is used by international terrorists in syria. while more of the license pictures from the people's republic local forces can we see moving through the area backed by russian troops in the past, few hours have taken 3 villages. that's according to reports from local officials. well, let's take a look at the water picture now and the east of ukraine, where of course, this conflict really began a number of years ago now marked in red and blue on this month. all the 2 republics,
1:11 pm
according to their borders. as of course, recently recognized as independent by russia. now the russian defense ministry has just announced new developments. according to the defense ministry, they settle against forces every taken territory from the cleaning army. 46 kilometers beyond what used to be the contact line. and the next forces have advanced by 10 kilometers. the industry has also released this video. well, that's a damn being blown up by russian forces. it was actually built back in 2014 by ukraine to block a canal applying water to residents of crimea, that right off to the region became part of russia. now, ever since then from me, i had been suffering severe water shortages. the ministry though says supplies will now be restored to residence in crimea, in full. now, meanwhile, further towards the north of the country will as common issue noble exclusion zone
1:12 pm
around the remains of the nuclear power plot. it was taken 2 days ago by the russian forces, and now ukrainian or russian forces are keeping watch over their facilities, jointly to keep it secure. the facilities personnel continue to serve their radioactivity levels are reported to be normal. well meanwhile, the russian president vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army of putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weaponry immensely populated area. minnesota is not the ukrainian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large cities, including kiff and hark of they planned to provoke a response from russian strike systems on residential areas. in fact, they act in the same way as terrorists do. they hide the truth and hope of blaming the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans, that you will hear on the 1st image. you can see
1:13 pm
a verified photo of you explaining squad in the middle of a residential area. according to the russian defense ministry, the russian side will not be drawn into these tactics and will not attack heavy weaponry base inside densely populated areas. you try and meanwhile has scrapped age limits for all the entry and also band, all men between aged and 60, from leading the country authorities are also issuing guns to any citizen who wants them to defend their land. now in the region alone it's reported more than $10000.00 rivals have been handed out to volunteers in the northern city or shoot me golf. it's mary's calling on citizens to take up arms. generally, you shouldn't see me fellow citizens of churney. cough i have urgently address you . we need to prepare for fighting on the streets. that's why anyone who knows what i'm talking about. prepare lighter fluids. another thing committed citizens, guys. i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense.
1:14 pm
well, we spoke earlier to charles through bridge a former counterterrorism intelligence officer to comment on the story of ukraine. oliver ortiz giving the weapons to civilians to defend their cities. he said, of course ra, also risks to supplying civilians with automatic farms to give out weapons to anybody, the office to use them against somebody is probably quite a records policy. it smacks of desperation, of course. but the problem comes when weapons are given out freely, that festival you're giving it to people who may not be coffee trying to how to use them in the 1st instance. and secondly, you've got an issue that you've only got it on trusted as people are going to use those weapons against the invader. after all, they could be going to actually any body. once you introduce those weapons, i freely into an environment as yet will you kind of keep control of those weapons? we are getting reports. meanwhile, of shelves allegedly full,
1:15 pm
reagan rushes roasted region. alt he's on a quarter is in the south of the country writer where those allegations have come from. luckily nobody was injured, infrastructure wasn't damaged to either landed in a forested area. now, the ukrainian foreign ministry says that its military has not been shooting at the territory of the russian federation, but this is not the 1st instance in which bombs have fallen here yesterday, in this very same region of ra stove. at least 14 artillery strikes took place on border areas within the region and right after the beginning of the russian military offensive. there were other such instances in brand screech and there were, there was shelling there where houses were destroyed and 3 people were injured. the same thing happened in belgrade infrastructure was damaged, shelling happened, and 3 people were also injured there. interesting. interestingly enough, more recently, near belgrade region, a ukrainian soldier had been trying to escape to the russian federation,
1:16 pm
trying to basically defect and neo fascist groups. there that had their hands on artillery artillery batteries. i had fired out at him and unfortunately killed him and injured another servicemen in the, in the russian, a federal security services as well. now, because of this violence that's actually been happening on the russian federation, the authorities have taken measures. they've closed down rushes southern air space . basically, there's going to be no flights out of this area. there's 12 airports in ra stove region along that will not be having flights. another thing they've done is closed down all the schools that are located in boarder regence of that border. the don boss, people's republics. we have to remember that there are at least 3000 children from done yet can lugens cologne that have left that have evacuated that region to the russian federation and are connected to educational institutions in these border regions. so that's another task. the russian authorities now have on their hands.
1:17 pm
what are they gonna do where they're going to put them so that they can make sure to continue their education? ah, a francis intercepted a russian vessel in the english channel report on suspicion of sanctions violations . this comes off that you had russia would fresh raft of punitive measures over its military intervention in ukraine. solid davinsky has more. this cargo ship was seized at around 7 am local time here on saturday in france. it's a cargo ship cool. the baltic leader and it is apparently on a list of companies that have being sanctioned by the u. s. as a result of that russian military action in ukraine. now we understand that originally the cargo ship was pulled over by the french officials because they wanted a check documentation. however, it then emerged that it is on that sanctions list. and as a result,
1:18 pm
the boat was seized and taken to balloon soon there, which is the largest port here in france, just down the road from cali, it's better known cousin 19 crew on board. we understand that they have been allowed to disembark from the cargo ship, and they are allowed to move around freely. now, the russian embassy here in paris has sent a note to the government requesting more information, and it says it will do all it can to protect the rights of those as sailors on board. the 19, now are for the moment we don't understand or when are aware of what cargo that ship may have been carrying. but we do understand that the reason it was pulled over is because this ship belongs to p. s. b leasing, which apparently is on the us sanctions list. now for the moment, the cargo, if there is any cargo and the vessel itself have been seized and the feature of that will be determined now by a french court. meanwhile,
1:19 pm
a number of countries have closed their space to russia airlines over the ukraine intervention among them, the u. k. sugar, public, poland, and both nations as well. moscow has responded with what it describes as puts at measures a multiple countries, sarah, european and across atlantic. as well, have agreed to further tightened the sanctions pressure on moscow. that's off the folks in brussels, fall asleep as latest on the response to the russia intervention, a new crime. while they set the spelling out in some kind of spiral, they are growing with the u. k, imposing harsh sanctions on russia. they've now imposed an extra travel ban in terms of not only russian aircraft not being allowed to land here, but also private chests. at the same time v t b bank, the 2nd largest state own bank and a number of other russian banks have also been sanctioned. the u. k is no longer accepting visa applications from ukrainians who are stuck in that country unless
1:20 pm
they have close family. here in the u. k. and beat bella was ambassador to london has been summoned and told that new members of the ruling elite also to be sanctioned. for supporting russia's military moves, the opposition eda has said that more sanctions are necessary, as one of the members of parliament from his party has started receiving death threats for search for criticizing and speaking out against nato expansion. the prime minister boys johnson earlier recorded a twitter video in which he called for an end to what he has termed a crisis. it was also an opportunity for him to show off his knowledge of the russian and ukrainian languages. putin's actions are leading to complete isolation for russia, shuttled by the rest of the international community, hit by immense economic sanctions and facing a needless and bloody war. these already costing countless lies from innocent
1:21 pm
ukrainians to your russian soldiers who will never see their families again. and to my russian friends, your new view store davina advanced over empty this crisis. this tragedy can and must come to an end to show you 2, but 3 more villa as to what a no greener slobo, greeny. now the european union also says that it is imposing harsh sanctions that these, that says will cripple the russian economy. they include sanctions on individuals, state owned companies, and can sectors of the russian economy. all members of the russian parliament will now face asset freezes and travel bands at the same time and an extremely rare move . the e u has frozen the assets of the russian president vladimir putin and his foreign
1:22 pm
minister. so gait, live rav, although neither certainly not at this point, are being subject to an e. you travel ban the european union, and european leaders saying that all of this is necessary, which one of these, and we're adding president putin and foreign secretarial of rav to the list of sanctions. they are responsible for the deaths of innocent people in ukraine and for trampling on the international system. we, as europeans do not accept that, i'm in canada, the united kingdom and the united states have also decided to freeze the assets of president putin and minister liberals. and certainly this is part of a coordinated action. but one step further is being taken by the united states who has also imposed a travel ban on the pair following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with a european commission president or soul of underline and an alignment with the decision by our european allies, united states will join them in sanctioning president putin and foreign minister
1:23 pm
love rob and members of the russian national security team. these sanctions are expected to trickle down and affect ordinary russians soaking. here in the u. k and elsewhere in europe. russians are wondering what impact will have on them. and on the families back home will economist richard wolf claims that barring russia from the swift banking system could cause huge financial issues worldwide. in a global world, more globally interconnected than ever before. if you blocked the swift system, you are declaring a kind of economic warfare that will damage and destroy all kinds of economic relationships. the reason mister shows in germany did not want to and stopped the attempt to convert to freeze russia out of swift was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up into the roof beyond what it has already been.
1:24 pm
because you couldn't pay russia for the oil and gas through swift, and they wouldn't send it anymore. and no one knows where that's going to go. so if they do that, if they actually go through with that, they will disrupt global trade. they will drive inflation through the roof. and let me remind everyone, russia, china, iran, and many other countries don't like the domination, the united states as over the swift system. and it really is only a matter of time before there are multiple systems. bitcoin is already functioning to a degree like that. so this would be a very dangerous step because it will accelerate the end of the swift monopolies too. but now i want to show you some, the response across the well to the russian miniature intervention ukraine. anti war protests are spreading across the country, both here in russia and be the broad. this is
1:25 pm
a picture from nifty prospecting st. petersburg, which has become a focal point of the focus in recent days. there is a heavy police presence there right now with several arrests being made as also rally taking place here in moscow in the russian camp. chauffeur's military operation began demonstrators have been out on the streets across 50 russian cities with around 2 and a half 1000 people. the tank the well during this time in ukraine during the crisis, this channel has also come with a tremendous pressure. the latest example leading australian pe tv company fox, so will no longer distribute aussie siding the situation and ukraine. we got reaction from all channels deputy editor in chief through the latest situation. i think it was tirelessly work to bring valuable facts and use to an audience really around the world. whether it was a government either call 4 or 430 to be taken off the air. it's simply highlights
1:26 pm
the policy of media freedoms in the nation. they were present to look at the association of your injury. analysts, who i'm the one hand, so practically declared themselves as the founders of journalists right yet. so readily turned back on the very founding principle to support the suppression of news and journalists under political pressure ever were time to recognize the importance of all gathering news and understanding of all use is now. folks tell us, send a letter to your aunty saying it ended distribution over concerns about the situation in ukraine. the shuttle also added it considers it has the right to do so under the license agreement with this network. and this comes up, of course growing pressure, as i said on a sheil internationally over the last few days. and he has already been banned by ponies national broadcasting council off the russia began its so called special ministry operation. the british culture secretary is also calling to consider ot his license. meanwhile,
1:27 pm
even before the current crisis or up to all he is german language says the channel or t. v was blocks in germany, a political analyst we spoke to says such moves said a warning president. i've got a number of debates on our t discuss many times with people who, with whom i disagree. many opinions when a lot of people get to that, is there a lot of debates on a lot of different subjects r t has brought people together from different different political horizons, have brought them to debate, to discuss some agree, some disagree? and that is the purpose of journalism, and that is the purpose of the media that the people who are watching make their own opinion. r t is not an ideology. it's a place where people can meet, discuss debate on ideas. and that's fundamental. if we take that out or democracy, if there is the more democracy, so it's extremely important. maybe the mission down t v station will have to find something on the internet. if it's the internet is going to find something else. it will be taught these times are extremely tough. now, i don't know if they will get better, but we have to continue the fight for free speech. everybody is entitled to free
1:28 pm
speech or in our democracies. it's based on that, isn't that what we're taught, isn't that what's written in, in our constitution, we've got to fight for the right for to free speech. and i mean, we have access to all the media and the people choose what is right and wrong rushes minute reactions. i've also been roundly condemned by the us media when it was washington. that was was the coverage was different. caleb more open has more now on varying narratives in conflict. us media coverage is always so fair and balanced. i am angry at this evil act by this evil leader attacking an innocent nation, a democratic nation. we wake up this morning to a war in europe, a deadly one. he wasn't just threatening ukraine that significant enough, but he seemed to be challenging that the post cold war order food and wants to take over ukraine, faces on the screen, are filled with pain, anguish, and empathy for the people of ukraine as russia moves and to try and stop the
1:29 pm
bombardment the people of don ask and lugens can been facing for the past 8 years. now let's recall how these same outlets and voices responded to us missile strikes on syria in 2017 and act without any justification under international law. as us outlets cover russia's talkin ukraine, remember how the same outlets cover? u. s. a tux when the u. s. bombs, syria in 2017 m. s. m. b c's. brian williams called the footage of the stroke. beautiful. he then quoted lena cohen, i am guided by the beauty of our weapons. cnn's for reeds. a courier was simeon. susie austic about trumps. to talk on syria, i think donald trump became president of the united states last night. he took to our international norms in social rules about america's role and enforcing justice in the world. who can forget the invasion of iraq in 2003, based on lies about weapons of mass destruction. on the left is economist after
1:30 pm
bush invaded iraq on the right is the economist after putin invaded ukraine, spot the difference. this is all about one evil dictator who possesses brutal weapons with which he will threaten and hurt a lot of people, including a lot of americans unless we take them away from him. and all of us, including the iraqi people, are going to be very fortunate. did i think was the smartest thing george bush did? how about when brock obama rallied the world to destroy? what was then the most prosperous country on the african continent with nato bomb? i'm asking this question over and over. why would we intervene and libya and i still haven't received an answer that totally satisfies me, but the most consistent one is because it be the right thing to do because people are dying for altruistic reasons. some u. s. bombings don't even get coverage if it wasn't for african tweeting it out, people would have no idea the united states was currently carrying out strikes in somalia. somali us forces engage insurgents and supports the federal government of
1:31 pm
somalia. why criticize what your own government is doing when you can just as easily virtue signal and pluck heartstrings feigning outrage about something that a government on the other side of the planet is doing? if only the russian military was headquartered in washington, then perhaps mainstream. the us media would be educating us about the beauty of the weapons. caleb martin, r t. new york. and let's go back in time now to the roots of this complex the minister agreements in particular, which obliged of course, both sides of the ukrainian conflict withdrawal weapons from the front line. all he has a documentary following the lives of people living in the conflict zone of don bus over the past 8 years, the so called gray zone. you can see the full version of r t dot com in the meantime, is a quick preview on just the warning to view as you may find some of the images distressing. good, like most who live in the gray zone. the v rosky family tries to pay little
1:32 pm
attention to the wall that came straight to their house. they're getting used to their usual village life on the fire damage dable gardens have long been turned into mine fields and 7 years of civil war. the basement is where they mostly live now, and they are well aware that any time they venture outside, it could end in injury or death. a new phone with
1:33 pm
1:34 pm
a good age. ah, what a turning point for ukraine came back in 2014. when the government was top of that, an uprising of back then some activities behind the scenes reveal what a phone call was. the leaks in which us diplomat, victoria newland was heard instructing. the u. s. ambassador, deciding which ukraine and officials to put in which government post. we spoke earlier to max blumenthal, editor of the growth of independence, new sites. you think those actions put you on the path to division and conflict. so if you watch you as coverage of this war, you will not hear about my done,
1:35 pm
particularly in that context that is career suicide for any corresponding or any reporter to provide that context. and that is the most critical context, the context of what has happened to the people of donnette and lugens. since the us, my don regime came into power, the 13000 dead majority on the don bad side that is forbidden to disgust in the us . and so potent is this, the entire conflict is reduced to one person. vladimir putin who is just portrayed on m, s n, b c by their top correspondent, richard angle, who is pretending to be in the field and is actually far away as a bond villain. and this is all being done in the words of joseph biden to restore the soviet union. that's how this has been portrayed to an american public. and the american public is tuning out. they're focusing on their kitchen table issues because they are unable to afford the basics as inflation and gas prices skyrocket . where we are now getting reports of artillery on gunfire in the ukrainian capital
1:36 pm
of chia villafranca jones minnes shooter. formal on this area. think up 3 days ago when this military action ukraine began, we were all shocked on, in disbelief and seeing certainly of his classes in approaching the center of cape of year. we can't really bring capital, has left many ah, well, very much in disbelief. what do you make of the latest updates? the russian troops are approaching the outskirts of the capital? well, let me just go through the latest updates, but just before that i want to give you a picture of what key of actually is the city of almost 3000000 habit and capital of ukraine densely populated. it's divided by the, the upper river by it is divided into 2 sides. and we remember how a couple of days ago, the russian ministry of defense announced that the city was blocked from the western side. so pansy,
1:37 pm
this is where the washing offensive began from. and be, are clearly advancing into the city because i've been following reports online and we've seen amateur videos. and i could actually compare some of these buildings with the panoramas on yonder x, which is some people called the russian google, where you could actually see the actual locations where the fighting happened. and now the troubling thing is, is that we're seeing pictures from there. i cannot verify them for now for sure, but it appears like there is cross far and this isn't just machine guns, right? this, some of it is artillery far as some of them look or appear to be missile launchers . and of course this is something very worrying at, although for now we cannot verify these videos. but i remember how last night
1:38 pm
during the night it was getting more and more difficult intense. this is probably the case when the story is repeating itself. daniels, in terms of the negotiations, which we saw the potential for go stations that seems the lens t unproved. and we saw discussions if it would be in war for a minute. we feel that they're going to go ahead. we understand the kremlin has claimed mrs. a landscape withdrawal not offer the cranium, didn't claim the terms offered by mister boot in the kremlin all satisfactory. so we reached a stalemate. how realistic is it that perhaps the folks can go ahead and we can see an end to this bloodshed? because that is a priority, i think right now stopping the military actions, stopping mis bloodshed for both sides. daniel, this is a very difficult question because judging from the ladies comments that are being made, bible dimmers lensky, the craning leader, his office is up to something completely different. right now. he's always on the
1:39 pm
phone with western leaders and he's actually sang in his latest remarks. that's all bureau p in countries have agreed to this band, russia from the swift payment system. besides, as he believes that he persuaded the turkish president type err dwan not to let the russian warships through the straits that link the black sea to the mediterranean. i just want to make sure that these are the claims being made by the gradient president who says he's always in touch with these leaders, although we have not received confirmation from them. so daniel, there you have it see for yourself. that means that currently, it seems that the office of the grading president has changed its tactics. what they want is more pressure on moscow, instead of possibly trying to reach some kind of compromise on the possibility of
1:40 pm
these direct talks between the 2 leaders. but we remember how last night we heard that mister poodle form the delegation of a foreign ministry officials, defense ministry officials, as well as the officials from the criminal ministration. there could have been talks on different levels. but for now, it's all in limbo and it doesn't look like it's happening in the near future. but at the same time, i just want to go back to what's happening and key of right now there is a huge avenue linking the road which surrounds key the highway. it leads all the way to the city center to the my dog, which is key of iconic square. then i can tell you that again, these are on verified reports, but the russian forces are already engaged in battles half way into the city center on that very avenue, which is called the avenue a victory. but us pick pretty mortgage and this these reports are clearly alarming,
1:41 pm
especially when we can see what is possibly crossfire possibly artillery crossfire or cross far from a missile launchers which is much more dangerous than just machine gun. far as you can clearly realize, you mentioned this is such a fast moving situation. i think so important to verify exactly what has been said by whom verify the videos the images coming through because we have excessive information and especially can make it on social media. but what about the western response to this going to stand again through social media, through various statements, by officials that the possibility of swift russia being cut off on the with system or at least targeted cut off from the system is now a possibility. what impact could that have? because on understandably, the russian intervention has been met with condemnation, with outraged from the western powers. could this be them now going all in or could we see further action potentially?
1:42 pm
