ah, a kremlin says ukraine is refusing to negotiate and the military operation will continue while an advisor to ukraine. the president says, keith is not satisfied with the conditions. russia is offering for peace talks. you has decided to disconnect to some russian banks from the 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 districts had just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning. and

our correspondent reports from the dunbar conflict zone where kindergarten and has come under fire. fortunately, no one was harmed with broadcasting lab directors, 2 years in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to to have you with us. now we start with breaking news from the conflict in the ukraine. according to media sources, citing and ukrainian official, there has been a huge explosion at an oil depot which is about 18 miles south of ki, if this video, which we cannot yet verify shows the result of that explosion. allegedly, at that depot. as you can see, there are flames and huge plumes of smoke filling the sky. this comes after reports of artillery and gunfire in ukrainian capital give. earlier our correspondent lead katrinka spoke with my colleague, dan hawkins. here's what they discussed. the average or 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 gradient 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 worrying, 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 russians have closed in on the city from the western side. and there is a major road that links the highway that 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 western military officially, but the situation in kiev is very difficult. also, when 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 thing god have left the capital. so definitely from that fighting the

infrastructure, the residential areas as well. unfortunately, 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 operations show what appears to be a missile strike on a residential tower block on the outskirts of keel. 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's air defense system. although key of it says it was a russian missile strike. the russian military gave us this view non ukraine's tactics. history was the reason. a lot of michelle guidance system of the grain onto this how complex and one

surely gram media will represent this case as a russian attack. but there's a big according to that country l, the track back and the nature of the damage. we can surely identify it as an anti miss weapon. 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 deploy our moments in hormone conditions directly threatening. so this is the main problem, right, and you cranes, capital officials are urging residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. presidents are also seeing safety in the cities metro stations. meanwhile, elsewhere and ukraine.

unverified footage has emerged online showing, fighting in the heart of the region which borders russia and of the dumbass plains have allegedly been flying over the city of bala, clare and shots and powerful explosions have been heard as well. the russian forces have reportedly destroyed ukrainian army warehouses. ukrainian president's office says king is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russia. foresee fire negotiations. that's after the kremlin spokesperson claimed ukraine is refusing to hold to talks. and russia will continue with what it calls a special operation. stressing again that russian army is not targeting any civilian areas. so says the russian army of cheer at noon. 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 zalinski categorically renounce any unacceptable conditions or ultimatums from the russian side. britons prime minister has branded the removal of russia from swift as a stepping stone with more sanctions on russian financed to come comes after the president of the european commission confirmed the you and western allies would freeze the assets of the central russian bank. and to disconnect, select russian banks from swift, a major tool for being able to operate in the international transaction system. or chase pulse layer has more. it's a significant issue. remember, there has been some discussion between european capital for quite some time now as to whether or not we're news,

russia from the swift international management system. the u. k. has already made that. and we're now hearing from the european commission president shipments on the line. and saying that they are now moving ahead and disconnecting some ration. thanks some sweat so that they won'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 lee and the united states and canada and 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 uprooting from using his war chest. we will paralyze the assets of russia central bank. this will freeze its transactions and it will made it impossible for the central bank to liquidate assets. now swinton also said that they were looking at imaging, 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 way, gain access to your ubs financial markets. we will work to prohibit ration oligarchs from using their financial assets on our markets. all of these measures with 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 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. there, the organization will also set up co ordination against disinformation and hybrid wolfy. all of this coming on the back of the u. k. prime minister ball as johnston announcing that the u. k. while now except refugees from ukraine. economists, richard warf claims that barring russia from the swift banking system would cause huge financial problems with 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 and

stopped the attempt to convert to fries 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. 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 monopolies,

too, bothered you. as for other measures being taken in response to the special operation, france is going to boost its supplies of military equipment to ukraine and germany . you turns on its weapon export policy by confirming it will deliver arms to ukraine as well or cheese. charlotte kapinsky has more all we heard on saturday from president mack gone at some very grave words. indeed he said that the war in ukraine would last and that there would be consequences. now. mack on has been meeting with his defense counsel ministers on saturday. we're waiting to find out what was agreed on if anything in that defense counsel. but we did hear from the elisa palace earlier on saturday at st. francis main objective when it comes to the situation in ukraine is to avoid the collapse of the country and to be able to negotiate a cease fire. that is something it says it is still pursuing between russia and

ukraine. now there are the possibility of further sanctions that could be announced by the e u. we just heard from yoseph burrell. this is the used foreign affairs chief who said that he's going to convene a meeting tomorrow on sunday in the evening of foreign affairs ministers. and the suggestion is that there will be a new package of emergency assistance put forward for ukraine in his words, to support the her ro it fight. they're also a very big you turn coming out of germany on saturday. and this is the fact that germany is now decided to send weapons to ukraine. it has a long standing policy of not sending armory to conflict zones. this is what the german chancellor had to say. it is our duty to do our best to help ukraine defend against the invading army of prudent. we've also seen more and more you countries deciding that they will ban russian aircraft from not just landing at their

airports, but also from flying over their airspace. estonia, poland at lat, fear, and others at piling in to say that they will not allow that to happen from now on . and in a further blow to russia, we know that sweden is now pushing for all member states within the european union to essentially caput, to eject the sporting links with russia. the swedish sporting minister saying that that would be the case as long as the invasion lost and just find me on another separate issue, a russian cargo ship that was on its way to st. petersburg was seized earlier on saturday morning by the french coast guards. it was taken to below in sumac, which is the largest port in northern front, in fact, in france itself, and the crew that have been allowed to disembark. apparently it was seized as

a result of the fact that the owning company of that cargo shift is on the list of sanction companies in the u. s. for the moment though, it has been seized, the crew are allowed to wander around, as they like. the russian embassy here in paris has sent a note to requesting information about what's happened to that coca ship and says that it will do everything it can to protect the security of the cream and all that . but for the moment, it will be up for a court to decide if that cargo ship remains seized, or whether it can go back on its journey towards st. petersburg. as pressure on russia is mounting abroad. russian diplomats are under strain. russian embassy staff in lithuania says that one of its diplomats was beaten by protesters who were rallying against the military operation in ukraine. meanwhile, embassies in poland and estonia, reported acts of vandalism with personnel receiving threats there. and in dublin,

red paint was smeared on the russian coat of arms outside of the embassy with staff saying police are not doing enough. what's your name for my say, see you put solution. i come to learn that some irish m pays under an irish member of the european parliament or the protest. the politicians have been more aggressive than ordinary protesters and spoke about wanting to plot the functioning of the russian embassy. we are concerned about how the police responded. they turned down a request that they curb to protest and secure, normal functioning of the embassy. we've addressed the irish foreign ministry and wait their response while most to have strongly condemned the russian special miller. terry operation in ukraine. china was one of the handful of countries abstaining from voting on a un resolution against moscow. the chinese embassy and russia echoed remarks made by the russian envoy to the un. by calling out of the u. s. they posted the us bombing list of wars, of armed conflicts that they save us has been involved in since world war 2 and a display data which alleges 81 percent of the conflicts were us initiated.

meanwhile, this video shows a rally in the serbian capital of belgrade, demonstrators lined up, allegedly, in support of the future. and his allies believed on by fellow roost. serbia is largely pro russian with its leader alexander, which is saying that it will not back sanctions against russia given their closest arthur. meanwhile, the russian president, vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army are putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weaponry in it densely populated areas. if 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 plan to provoke a response from russian strike systems on residential areas. in fact, they act in the same way as terrorist 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. here on this 1st image, you can see a legend, photos of the ukrainian military artillery squad, ready to open fire right in the middle of a residential area. now the photo has been verified, the source has not been so we don't know exactly what it's purporting to show, but a russian defense ministry spokesman says the russian side will not be drawn into provocations and will not attack heavy weaponry inside cities. as illustrated. meanwhile, russian are sorry, excuse me, the ukrainian 5 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 region alone. it is reported that more than 10000 rifles were handed out to volunteers, and in the north city of chattanooga of its mayor is calling on citizens to take up weapons as well. 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 was prepare, lighter fluids. another thing committed citizen guys. i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense living in charles shaw bridge. a former counterterrorism intelligence officer says, there are risks to simply heading out weapons like this to give out weapons to anybody that offers to use them against somebody is probably quite a wreck as part of it. sparks of desperation, of course. but the problem comes when the weapons are given out freely a festival, you're giving it to people who may not be potty trained in 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 anybody at, once you introduce those weapons,

i freely into an environment as yet will you kind of keep control of those weapons? right. people living in the donnie, it's people's republics, are being subjected to regular shelling attacks from the ukrainian side and also reportedly from the russian side as well. this 3 story residential building was largely destroyed in a bombardment earlier on saturday. we spoke with the woman who lived in looking at the am, unless you're can, i was know when day that glass was shattered when we covered as how a south that was back in 2014 and a chest beck. and now this happened rubio, i was near the end trends. what is it among costs of his end on yet with the latest on the stand off between local militia forces and the ukranian army full about 7 pm local time we heard so really allows sounds of artillery here in that done and scanned from the reports that we're getting from the officials are 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 near the airport about 6 kilometers from a 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 genetics, at least step 3 private residences have also been damaged as a shelling a continued stay here late 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 building 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 that place a little bit earlier on saturday. and so this is the footage that i came back with this kindergarten in one of our nest districts is just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. pieces that i fell off the building, at least a 32 windows here, had been shattered. and this is the place of impact if you can point the camera this way. right next again, 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 in the nest is being shelled throughout the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on call for a hearty donuts. and in the lugens ca, 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 didn't specify what caused the blast. as specifically, though, several injuries have been reported, but the numbers are so far unclear. according to done yet, public officials,

local militia groups have taken control of settlements around the city of nikolai africa. and these are images from there. they also claim to have taken 2 territories on the way to mario, as well as nearby roads. the russian defense ministry says ukrainian nationals, fighters are using truck mounted mortar, some of the, from the book value and 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. that is the machine. 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 they claim that in the past few hours, they have taken 3 diligence receive, marked in red and blue. on this map are the 2 don bass republics, according to their borders as recently recognized independently and independently,

excuse me, by russia, the russian defense ministry has just announced new developments saying lugens forces have been taking the 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 russian defense ministry has shared the following video. now it shows that a dam being blown up by russian forces. now it is a ledge. this particular dam was built in 2014 by ukraine to walk a canals flying water to crimea. right after the region became part of russia. crimea has suffered severe water shortages ever since, but the russian defense ministry claims that the supplies will soon be restored in full. meanwhile, all his. com in the turn noble exclusion zone around the remains of the nuclear power plant there. 2 days ago, it was taken under the control of russians forces,

and now ukrainian and russian forces both are jointly keeping it secure. the facilities, safety personnel continue to serve their and radioactivity levels are reported to be normal. meanwhile, we are getting reports of shells. reportedly falling in rushes, rushed off region, or cheese 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 region alone 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
