oh, you mean as a downside? artificially little mortgage right? don't get carried away. what kind of report ah, the kremlin says ukraine is refusing to negotiate and the military operation will continue while an advisor to you kinds president says, care is not satisfied with the conditions. russia is offering for peace talks. the e u has decided to disconnect some russian banks from swift system, as well as freeze assets of the russian central bank. the source in russia's defense ministry 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 a saturday morning. our correspondent reports from the dawn bass conflict zone
7:01 pm
where a kindergarten has come under fire. fortunately, no one was hard. with broadcasting live from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i am shawn thomas. certainly glad to, to happy with us. now we start with breaking news from the conflict in the ukraine, according to media sources, citing a ukrainian official. there has been a huge explosion at an oil depot and vasey jo cove city, which is about 18 miles south of kiff. now this video, which we cannot yet verify, shows the result of that alleged explosion. as you can see, there are flames and huge plumes of smoke filing the sky. this comes after reports of artillery and gunfire in ukrainian capital of give earlier ortiz corresponded really, patricia spoke with my colleague, dan hawkins. here's what i had to say. the amateur videos of the fighting
7:02 pm
that's already going on in the residential areas of kiev. the 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 cross fire last night. it was mostly gotten fire when i'm talking about the crossfire 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
7:03 pm
is the crating capital. it's a city of almost 3000000 inhabitants, and we know that it's divided by the nip river. the russians have closed in on the city from the western side, and there's a major road that links the highway the in circles key of with the city center. and again, i am looking at reports on telegram panels, 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 seemed constant. the 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. thank god have left the capital. so definitely from that fighting the
7:04 pm
infrastructure, the residential areas as well. unfortunate. the 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. these images from day 3 of the special operation show what appears to be a missile strike on the residential tower block on the outskirts of kids. several floors have been damaged. it is unclear if there are any casualties. the russian defense ministry sources say that it was caused by a missile guidance failure in ukraine air defense system. although key of says it was a russian missile strike, the russian military expert gave us his views on ukraine's tactics. history was the reason they left all miss el guidance system. awful grain onto this. how complex and one surely gram media will represent
7:05 pm
this case as a russian attack. but it's a big according to control the track, bad 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 the from possible to identified. the main reason is that they are gray and forces under blowing our moments in formal conditions, directly threatening. so this is the main problem in ukraine's and capital officials are urging residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. residents are also seeking safety in the cities metro stations. meanwhile, elsewhere in ukraine.
7:06 pm
unverified footage has emerged online showing, fighting in the heart of region which borders of russia and the dumbass plains have allegedly been flying over the city of bala, clara, and shops and powerful explosions have been heard. russian forces have reportedly destroy ukrainian army warehouses and the korean president's office has key is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russia for sci fi negotiations. that's after the cremeans spokesperson claim that ukraine is refusing to hold talks and russia will continue what it calls 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
7:07 pm
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. i britton's prime minister has branded the removal of russia from swift as a stepping stone with more sanctions on russian finances to come. this comes after the president of the european commission confirmed the you and western allies would freeze the assets of the central russian bank and disconnect, select russian banks from swift. it is very significant, if you remember, there has been some discussion between european capitals for quite some time now as to whether or not removed russia from the swift, international monetary system. the u. k. has already made that new and we're now hearing from the european commission, president sheriff funded lion and saying that they are now moving ahead and
7:08 pm
disconnecting some russian banks, france worked so that they won't be able to operate globally. it was issued as part of a joint statement that was signed off on by the european union, the united kingdom, the and united states and canada taken this and i will now propose to you 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 harm their ability to operate globally. second, we will stop a protein from using his war chest. we will paralyze the assets of russia central bank. this will freeze its transactions and it will made it
7:09 pm
impossible for the central bank to liquidate assets. now swinton also said that they were looking at limiting the sale of citizenship. in other words, what is known as golden passports that allows wealthy rushing businessmen who are connected to the russian government a come citizens of european countries and in that weight gain access to your ubs financial markets. we will work to prohibit rational oligarchs from using their financial assets on our markets. all of these measures will significantly harm put his ability to finance his war. this coming week, it will be a cons. atlantic task force that will be set up who's 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
7:10 pm
european jurisdiction. there the organization will also say, co ordination against dis, information and hybrid. we'll say, all of this coming on the back of the u. k. prime minister ball is johnson announcing that the u. k. well, now accept refugees from ukraine. economist richard wolf claims that barring russia from the swift banking system would cause huge financial problems. what 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 pan stopped. the attempt to convey did freeze russia out of swift, was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up in the food beyond what it
7:11 pm
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 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 monopoly, tends to bother you whilst the majority of europe has strongly condemned the russian operation. this video shows a rally in the serbian capital belgrade allegedly have not can from this video
7:12 pm
independently, demonstrators lined up in support of putin and his allies from the don bass and belarus. serbia is largely pro russia with its leader, alexander, who teaches saying it will not back sanctions against russia given their close historical ties. meanwhile, the russian president, vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army are putting civilian lives at risk by deploying weapons in densely populated areas. you'll notice the ukranian 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 playing the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans,
7:13 pm
that you can hear in this video on this 1st image. you can see reportedly it's video of ukrainian artillery squad, ready to open fire right in the middle of a residential area. now your russian defense ministry spokesman says that the russian side will not be drawn into provocations and will not attack heavy weaponry inside cities. meanwhile, ukraine has scrapped age limits for its army entry and has banned all men between the ages of 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 rifles were handed out to volunteers and in the northern city of chutney, gulf, it's mayor, is calling on citizens to take up weapons as well. yes, he is a fellow citizens of tourney. 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
7:14 pm
a lighter fluid. another thing committed citizen guys. i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense living. it's charles shrew bridge, a 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 record odyssey. 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 off told i could be going to actually anybody at once you introduce those weapons freely into an environment. yes. well, you kind of keep control of those weapons. right. people living in the danielle cook people's republic are being subjected to regular shelling attacks from the
