a with the kremlin, says, ukraine is refusing to negotiate, and the military operation will continue while an advisor to ukraine's president says, give is not satisfied with the conditions. russia is offering for peace talks that you has decided to disconnect some russian banks from swift system as well as freeze assets of the russian central bank a source in russia's defense ministry. it rejects allegations that the military hit a residential tower block and ukraine's capital with both sides blaming each other . meanwhile, artillery and gunfire is reported in the city this kindergarten in one of the next districts is just one of the places that was shelled on saturday

morning. our correspondence reports from the don bass conflict zone where your kindergarten has come under fire. fortunately, no one was harmed with broadcasting life from moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. really glad to have you with us. now. we are now getting reports of artillery and the gunfire in the ukranian capital of ki, of our correspondent elliot. katrinka has more the amateur videos of the fighting that's already going on in the residential areas of kiev. they began to appear as it became dark over the cranium capital. but there are quite a few developments when it comes to what's actually in these videos. and this is very worrying and troubling because we do actually see crossfire last night. it was

mostly gotten fire when i'm, when i'm talking about the cross bar here, it could actually be felt that these are either artillery rounds or possibly even missile launchers. and this is indeed much more warring, although i do want to point out that we cannot verify their authenticity. however, now from the reports that we're getting from the locals and on social media, it has become abundantly clear that fighting is now happening inside key of which is the crating capital at the city of almost 3000000 inhabitants. and we know that is divided by the nipper river, the washington closed in on the city from the western side. and there is a major road that links the highway the in circles key of with the city center. and again, i'm looking at reports on ta graham candles, and i can see that already the russian forces are halfway through that road.

these are all the reports. these are the things that we're hearing on social media . we have not received a confirmation of that from the russian military officially, but the situation in kiev is very difficult. also, what i look at the maps which showed traffic and you know how you usually see these green or red lines there. they're almost nonexistent anymore because apparently the cars are not out in the streets. many, many people think have left the capital. so definitely from that fighting the infrastructure, the residential areas as well, unfortunately, will be damaged. but let's hope that there aren't many casualties as a result of this fighting which is intensifying, no matter what it seems. that was really a potential earlier talking to my colleague, den hawkins now with rushes military operation entering its 4th day condemnation

for many western states has hit fever pitch. these images from day 3 show what appears to be a missile strike on a residential tower block on the outskirts of kids. several floors have been damaged. it's unclear if there are any casualties of the russian defense ministry. sources say it was caused by a missile guidance failure in ukraine's air defense system. although key of says it was a russian missile strike, a russian military expert gave us his use on ukraine's tactics. history was the reason they left all miss l guidance system of the grain onto this complex. and one surely gram media will represent this case as a russian attack. but it's a big according to control the track, bath and the nature of the damage. we can surely identified as an

anti miss out. it is very difficult to establish a serial number, but possible to identify that the main reason is that they are grey and forces unemployment are moments in hormone conditions directly threaten. so this is the main problem. and you, canes and capital officials are urging residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. red are also seeking safety in the city metro stations. meanwhile, elsewhere in ukraine and verified footage has emerged on line showing, fighting in the heart of region which borders russia and the dumbass plains have allegedly been flying over. the city of bala, clare and shots and powerful explosions have been heard. russian forces has

reportedly destroyed ukrainian army warehouses as well. ukrainian president's office says care is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russian for sci fi negotiations. this is after the kremlin spokesperson claim to ukraine is refusing to hold talks and russia will continue. what is called a special operation, stressing again that russian army is not targeting any civilian areas. 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 refused to negotiate, the advance of the main russian forces resumed this afternoon in accordance with the plan of the operation. ukraine of course, did not refuse negotiations, but that's about negotiations, which, by the way, have not yet taken place. ukraine and president zelinski categorically, renounce any unacceptable conditions or ultimatums from the russian side. right.

and some news that is the most recent, the e u has announced some fresh sanctions on the russian banking system. this includes freezing assets of the central bank of russia and disconnecting from russian swiss russian banks or excuse me, from the swift system. this is a major executor of financial transactions between banks world wide. from on this let's cross alive to our cheese. paula, we're thanks for being with us on this. now. the sanctions have been rolling out in dribs and drabs since the russian intervention. how significant is this latest announcement re significant? if you remember, there has been some discussion between european capital for quite some time now as to whether or not remove russia from the swift international monitoring system. the u. k. has already made that move and we're now hearing from the european commission president of funder lions and saying that they are now moving ahead and just

connecting some russian bang, some swept so that they wouldn't be able to operate globally each. it was issued as part of a joint statement that was signed off on by the european union, the united kingdom, and the united states and canada taking this and i will now propose to lead us the following measures. first, we commit to ensuring that a certain number of russian banks are removed from swift. this will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and hom, the ability to operate globally. second, we will start a protein from using his war chest. we will paralyze the assets of russia, the central bank. this will freeze its transactions and it made it

impossible for the central bank to liquidate assets. now she went on to also said that they were looking at eliminating the sale of citizenship. in other words, what is known as gold and passport that and now wealthy russian businessmen who are connected to the russian government a come citizen of european countries. and in that way, gain access to europe's financial markets. we were work to prohibit rational oligarchy from using their financial assets on our markets. all of these measures will significantly harm put his ability to finance his war. now you understand is that this coming week, it will be a cons. atlantic task force that will be set up whose primary goal will be to ensure the effective implementation of these financial sanctions by identifying and

freezing the assets of sanctioned individuals and companies that exist within european jurisdiction. that the organization will also set up coordination against dis, information, and hybrid will say, all of this coming on the back of the u. k. prime minister ball is johnson announcing that the u. k. well now, except with g 's from ukraine. our daughter to policy, we know that as a situation developed and it certainly will you will be on top of the force as well . and an economist, richard wolf claims that barn. russia from the switch banking system would cause a huge financial problems 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 continue to freeze russia out of swift. was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up in the food beyond what it has already been. because you couldn't pay russia for the oil and gas through swift, and they wouldn't send it any more. 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 they 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 monopoly. tends to bother you. all right, there are sources that say and claim that people living in the daniel people's republics are being subjected to regular shelling attacks from the ukranian side. this 3 story residential building was largely destroyed in a bombardment earlier on saturday. we spoke to a woman who lived in that company and that was looking at him and i still can, i was know when day that glass was chance or, you know, we covered as our south. that was back in 2014 and a check. and now this happened rubio, i was near the entrance, but he would have on the cost of is in danielle, quit the latest on the stand off between local militia forces and the ukranian army . all about sir 7 p. m. local time were heard. so really allows sounds of artillery here in the jeanette scanned from the reports that we're getting from the officials

. i hear those were 152 millimeter or harvard sirs sar. or they said it could be multiple rocket launcher systems that were shelled at said genetics a little bit earlier. now this happens near the airport about 6 kilometers from where i'm standing a right now. as the result, 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 what had happened. now earlier on saturday in don't ask at least 3 private residences have also been damaged as a shelling. a continued stay here in this city. no, no reports about casualties about what happened earlier on saturday evening. but over the last 48 hours, there were at least 7 civilians killed in la ganske and

a nurse because the results of the ukrainian shelling of course, scores were injured as the results are as well. now civilian infrastructure on the outskirts of the nest has 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 so heavily damaged all the windows were blown out and i visited her place a little bit earlier on saturday. and this is the footage that i came back with this kindergarten in one of for the next district since just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. but he says that a 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 over night. 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 in the nest is being shelled throughout the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on call for a hearty donuts. and in the logan's people's republic, a massive fire has engulfed a fuel depot. there was a huge explosion. earlier officials are saying at least 200 tons of fuel have caught light. they did not specify what actually caused the blast. several injuries

have been reported, but the numbers are so far unclear. now, according to dani, ask republic officials, local militia groups have taken control of settlements around the city of nicola, you have scar. excuse me, nicole. erica. these are images from there. they also claim to have taken 2 territories on the way to mario full, as well as nearby roads. the russian defense ministry says ukrainian nationalists. fighters are using truck mounted mortars value and the nationalist battalions use so called ben derrick 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 city and more of the latest pictures from the done yet, people's republic. local forces can be seen moving through the area with support from the russian military. and in the past few hours, they have taken 3 villages, marked in red and blue on this map are the 2 don bass republics,

according to their borders as recently recognized independently by russia. the russian defense ministry has just announced new developments saying lugens courses have retaken territory from the ukrainian army. 46 kilometers beyond what was the contact line and done yet the forces have advanced by 10 kilometers. meanwhile, the ministry has released the following video. it shows a damn being blown up by russian forces. it was built back in 2014 by ukraine and to blanca canal supplying water to crimea, right after the region became part of russia. crimea had suffered severe water shortages ever since, but the russian defense ministry says supplies will soon be restored in full. meanwhile, all is calm in the noble exclusion zone around the remains of the nuclear power plant. 2 days ago, it was taken under the control of russian forces, and now ukrainian or russian forces are jointly keeping it secure. the facilities,

safety personnel continue to serve their and radioactivity levels are reported to be normal. meanwhile, the russian president vladimir puts in, is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists are in the army are putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weapons in densely populated areas. you know, the ukrainian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large cities, including kia 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 blaming the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans. here on the and here are the 1st images. you can see a verified photo of ukrainian artillery squad, ready to open fire in the middle of

a residential area. now the russian defense ministry spokesperson says the russian side will not be drawn into provocations and will not attack heavy weaponry inside cities. meanwhile, ukraine has scrapped age limits for army entry and band. all men between 18 and 60, from leaving the country. ukrainian authorities are also issuing guns to any citizen who wants them in the key of region alone. it is reported that more than $10000.00 rifles were handed out on tiers. and in the northern city of chattanooga of its mayor is calling on citizens to take up weapons. 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 was prepare a lighter fluid. just another thing committed citizen, you guys, i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense. little in the living. it work, charles, sure. bridge and former counterterrorism intelligence officer says there are risks to simply handing out weapons like this. see,

give out weapons to anybody that offers to use them against somebody is probably quite a reckless odyssey. it smacks of desperation, of course. but what the problem comes when the weapons are given out freely a festival. you're given it to people who may not be coffee, trying to how to use them in the 1st instance. and secondly, but you've got an issue that you've only got it on trusted as people are going to use those weapons against the invader off tool. they could be going to actually anybody at once you introduce those weapons, a freely into an environment, our theater of will you kind of keep control of those weapons. meanwhile, we are getting reports of shells reportedly falling in rushes roast of region. ortiz don quarter is in the area for us. 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. they're interesting. 3 interestingly enough, more recently, near belgrade region, a ukrainian soldier had been trying to escape to the russian federation trying to basically defect and neo fascist groups. there that had their hands on artillery artillery batteries 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 russia, southern air space. basically there's going to be no flights out of this area. there's 12 airports in roster of 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 and 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. what are they gonna do? where they're going to put them so that they can make sure to continue their education. since the conflict started more than 100000 people had fled to the dawn bath, republics, women and children and the elderly have been transported to nearby russian regions and also further south to the republic of old cars. yeah, we heard from some of them it's been frightening. we had problems with electricity

and water. there was shelling, so we were asked to evacuate. there are very good people here. we were well received, well fed. thank you very much. i need to know that the military action restarted a week ago on our territory, and we had to leave my daughters were afraid of the explosions. they asked what was going on. we wanted recognition delux, ganske people's republic until recently was considered a territory with no connection to anything. so we really wanted some kind of status for our homeland. clearly was of course to contact lines are being shelled heavily . so my husband quickly got his ready in 2 hours and we were sent to ab kasia. it was more terrifying than in 2014 was more shilling, more destruction. maybe they have more anger after food and recognised us. we've been waiting for this for a long time. youtube has blocked access to our 2 videos in ukraine and disabled the

monetization of all r t channels. this comes after several european countries took our broadcast of air and earlier on saturday, australian tv service fox tele announced it will no longer distribute our tea due to the situation in ukraine. we heard from our cheese deputy editor chief, our teacher was tirelessly worked to bring valuable stafford use to an audience of millions around the world. what organizational government either call for or for us aren't, you can be taken off the air. it simply highlights 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 journalist 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 fact, gathering news and understanding of all use is now still has sent a letter to our tea thing. it ended distribution over quote concern about situation
