the red dots highlighting the cities where russian forces are currently fighting against ukrainian army rushes defense ministry. sailor guns militia has advanced against the ukrainian army by another 3 kilometers beyond mondays. front line went on, yet, forces have reported the advance, 16 kilometers. people from various parts of ukraine of fleeing the ongoing conflict, almost 400000 of thought, refuge in neighbour in poland. these images show ukrainians at a railway station in the western city of love, hoping to get a train across the border. according to the un, more than half a 1000000 people have fled ukraine since last week, seeking refuge in neighboring countries, including romania, moldova, and russia. other countries in europe of also announced their willingness to help the refugees with charities, collecting donations for humanitarian aid. kiev acute in moscow of aggression and say around 5000 russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in recent days,

with dozens of russian plains and helicopter, shot down and around. 200 tongues destroyed. moscow refuted the claims without disclosing concrete figures and said it's been making major advances against the ukrainian military. well, hey, salacious. so teach from daniel showing the aftermath of shelling civilians are trying to survive in the conflict. zoner cities and towns a quote between the front lines with battles, waging on local residents. a terrified with homes and lives lost every day amid the conflicts. artie correspondent, my garcia, for course the sound of war is deafening across the nearest ah. north west and south war rages very closely with the friendship launched by the

republic of that yet skis. very much in full swing. the city of mario pal, the heart of the as of sea and the bastion of ukrainian troops and nationalist battalions. it is nearly surrounded, caught between advancing troops of the nets and russian unit spreading out from crimea. ukrainian troops have fallen back and from a distance reeked destruction of villages and towns they once ruled. as you can hear from the sounds of thought hillary the battles he had just just west of than yet still still rage this used to be until hub week ago, a village well beyond the front lines, ukrainian positions. what but east of here to woods than if, when this, this battle but gotten the offensive. the ukrainian military abandoned their

positions there. they moved further eastwards, further towards kiev. and that is where they took up positions when the units of the din, yet people's republic began moving into here. they were met with a fire storm of artillery which, which devastated these village. there were many people here. they are now much fewer. we've heard about 3 people killed in their house, another family that burned up the barrage of shelves and rockets, artillery, sped, few houses and try as they might not. every one escaped the devastation. the tragedy here is that these mother and daughter they, they hid in the basement, right? rise outside the house, the shell impacted a little further away. right above the basement. the irony,

the tragic and sad irony here is that if they had stayed in the house, they might have survived. it's a grizzly scene down there, full of full of blood images that we don't want to show you. only the father survived wounded amid the shilling. he ran for help. well, blast also though, when you are looking for a loaner style, supposed to zoom brewster cook, jesus lee, what neopost of illinois, a king and his mother last me. her i nearly broke her. i nearly connecticut was correct except bug. but a boy put valuable dominion her care was you left? i'm sure. at least using was more than a career fair. ah, yes. portia. clover thought kenneth. bon bonded. yes. an artist. those 3 smugly, brazil. 3 are sitting at the other doubled by the as the door will bertha talk, which it is d that a nearby nikolai of car,

which is much bigger. the onslaught was much the same here. terrified civilians, women children, the elderly hunker down in a school basement, waiting for ukrainian military bombardment to end here in a nearby nickaligha in a school basement on the ground. people are existing in these conditions in the cold without power, without heat. this is all about survival even though the front lance of have moved on. they don't dare leave for fear of yet more shelling, which is claim the lives of, of so many people already. this is too much like they don't even let him bury a person normally any more they bear than by the front door like animals. i'm not

crying for myself and crying for my grandson for my son. my son came out of the basement 3 days ago and still hasn't come back. my data shit and they are still shelling. of course, it's carrie, but i reassure myself that everything will be fine. they destroyed our houses, if there are no windows in our house any more, as shells fell right here. now we have to rebuke and clean everything up to your pointers or cashiers. normally, if your children right now i'm sitting and sinking. if i leave hair, where will i go? now windows, no doors, everything is broken. i did not know where i should go now. oh yeah. if you're not good, much go. my grand daughter has had a fever for 2 days. my house was destroyed. my husband was operated on, his leg was torn through by a shell. on the outskirts one family apparently decided to brave the shelling at home. it would be their last decision. these house sustained

a direct impact shell, landed the middle of the house. you can perhaps see the remains of the house, the still smoldering floods consumed everything including a family that was in the house at the time their remains have been buried, but we have been unable to verify how many people exactly died here. nevertheless, this seem is being repeated across the dorm bus as fighting rages here in the ukrainian military retreats firing back, perhaps in revenge as they flee. the 1st round of negotiations between russia and ukraine has concluded in bella recently the ukrainian border with both sides, saying they presented that positions ortiz constantine, voice call reports. well, at this point, the main outcome of these talks is that the, these talks to play sound, the 2 sides agreed to continue dialogue. it's not much,

but it's something that creates room for cautious optimism. there's going to be a 2nd round, maybe it'll bear more results, but for now it's a wait and see approach. this is what the cranium president vladimir, alaska said about the rep top talks and balances. and that's the my article. and while we do not have the result, we would like to see russia has stated its position and we have voiced counter points to end the war in the west, a department that it would discuss the 1st round of talks with the cranium. now, the members of the russian delegation were also cautious talking about the outcome of the meeting. the head of the russian delegation reported to the latter my opponent yesterday, and the russian president already gave instructions so that the necessary work can be done before around 2. let's listen to what the russian delegation said about the talks. social workers are going to go with negotiations with the ukranian side have concluded they lasted around 5 hours. during the talks, we went through all the details on the agenda,

found some points on which common positions can be foreseen, and most importantly agreed to continue the negotiation process. the next meeting will take place in the coming days on the polen, bella rouge border was the 2 sides. negotiate the military situation on the ground remains tense. key f accusers, russian troops of shelling residential areas in cities across ukraine. moscow says it's specifically instructed, it's military not to do so. russia's minutes, rev defensive, lamed key for using civilians as a human shield by placing military hardware next to residential buildings provoke in the russian military to respond and hit these areas. at the same time, the shipment of lethal weapons, since a crane has reached alarming rates, you and nato countries send in thousands of anti tank and air systems as well as ammunition. there is also been a lot of talks about providing key of where the fighter jets ukraine's ministry of defense at its expecting up to 70 fighter jets from bulgaria, poland, and slovakia bulgaria has already denied. but poland seems to be on board and could

even provide its air fields for ukrainian pilots. grains authorities really use prisoners with a military background and handout weapons to civilians without any supervision. this has already resulted in the spike, a street violence and looting, according to russia's ministry of defense, gave of course, put the blame on russia for 4 days. but nonetheless, moscow thinks that sending more and more military equipment into crane in this situation is reckless. a human fate ascending weapons to ukraine, as well as ammunition on medical supplies. as the e. u has added another 26 people to its sanctions list imposed against russia over the conflict. with more than that, his ortiz at peace of the european union has stepped up deliveries of lethal aid to ukraine following russia's invasion of the country. b. hi, representative for foreign affairs of the european union. separate al says that old member states need to step up and provide ukraine with what it needs in the

situation or support for the change in our forces is crucial. crucial. they need munitions, the new health care material. they need to defensive purpose arms of any kind. and we're going to provide them together by with the member the state. germany provided its 1st delivery of weapons on monday that marked a major policy shift for berlin. they'd previously said that they wouldn't be sending weapons into the conflict. the arrival of russian troops in ukraine. well, that changed everything as far as berlin was concerned. denmark has also send deliveries as well. 2700 anti tank weapons have been sent from copenhagen, sweden as well, have been sending weapons neutral, sweden, it's worth pointing out,

5000 anti tank weapons coming from them, as well as field russians. health it's, and body armor of russia has been extremely critical of the actions over year when it comes to these deliveries. now, the masks are off, the e is revealing its true self with the decision on february 27th to send lethal weapons to ukraine. this means the end of european integration as a passive his project to bring your p and nations together after world war 2. the e. u has definitely taken side of the cranium regime, which has committed genocide against part of its own population therapy in union has also expanded its sanctions list against a number of russian figures. these include the ceos of energy companies and airlines, as well as government officials, including the kremlin spokesperson with sanctions have taken a heavy toll on russia as economy causing the national rubel currency to plummet. steering panic throughout the country with russians queuing up at cash machines to

withdrawal. their savings people are worried to the new western sanctions will trigger cash shortages and disrupt payments with some russian banks will be cut off from the swift global payment system and central bank assets to be frozen. the e. u has also banned russian flights into its territory. exacerbating concerns about russia becoming isolated. moscow that central bank has step tend to stop the flight of a foreign capital abroad. more than that for my tv course, donna. first and foremost, latimer to, to sign the document according to which russian companies and russian nationals are no longer allowed to send the dollars and store them deposit them in for an account . so basically all foreign currency like dollars, for example, they have that has to stay in the side country and within the russian economy. on top of that, russian tax residents like companies that will receive some of the income in dollars, they will have to sell 80 percent of that income and exchange it for roubles. this

is done, of course, to support the russian national currency, which it was again, it was falling quite heavily to surpass the $100.00 rubles per dollar mark. so it was worth less than a cents. in fact, one russian rouble was worth less than a cent, but following these measures, following the announcement of these measures, it kind of backtracked and recovered at least a little bit. and now it is, well, it's still, the official raid basically is not. it is, is not reaching just below, just under a 100 rubles per dollar on top of that, the bank of russia has higher massively, the key rates. so now it's 20 percent and that's a, that's more than double compared to what it was just yesterday. so that is done, of course, also to support to support the national currency. now, of course, some russian, some big russian, you know, businessmen, they have criticize this because of course, with this with,

with the key rates. so high money is so expensive. borrowing money is so expensive for the companies. well, but, well, the russian government says it has to be done. but again, unfortunately for the russian economy, the west is saying that, well, this could be that there's more where that came from. so they might impose more sanctions and they have this intention. europe's largest operator of energy networks has rejected demands to shut down the node stream one, the gas pipeline, as part of sanctions against russia over the conflict in ukraine. local media have reported that the operator germany has refused to decommission the pipeline. this, poland has demanded. the newly built no stream to specific cation process remains frozen on reports. the say that stopping the pipeline would have serious economic consequences, as it has accounted for 37 percent have been not total natural gas impost into germany by russia in 2011. well meanwhile, the sanctions against russia have caused

a debt pin other european markets with financial institutions bearing the brunt of it's the pon, european the u. k. stock indices has fallen by more than one percent with french and german stokes, giving up about 3 percent reduction. meanwhile, crude oil prices have increased about 5 percent. major investment from goldman sachs expects overall price inflation in europe to each 5 percent this year. we heard from former austrian top diplomat calling can easily and economists ica, hama, who have expressed concerns about the sanctions. repercussions on the market. prices went up, the markets was a big stretch on that one, the rubel, you come with a strategic commodity flag on. yes. and so the price hikes there, this heat, inflation just cuts about purchase power people, if no natural gas is transported through the existing nordstrom 1st,

then 2nd cube. when will have an impact even more to the plane? the heating season is nearly over the frame, but let us recall the gas. it's not only for heating, it's really over for production of electricity. if you take all the sanctions who they set into place, it means that germany is paying a higher price for the gas and it's, or it and everything. and ross, i can sell the gas than the, or wherever they want in the world. in china, i mean, yeah, everybody takes it so it doesn't hurt russia primary, primary germany. and this is what we see all the time already. the only thing is that the americans wanted to prohibit the europeans to look eastward toward russia . they don't want the europeans to work together with russia because it would make them independent on raw materials from outside. the u. s. has expels 12, russia, un diplomats saying they're a threat to national security,

but most go say violation of the u. s. agreement to host the us and just threatening a reciprocal response again another, another demonstration of food grows disrespectful the coast company agreement to the, to the commitments as i said through the rhythm within the framework of the over the application on the boss on the you, in charge of the cross country agreement, anviana conventional vision. now, that's a big announcement and it raises questions about the u. n. treating and the united states obligation to enable member states to maintain their staff even countries. the usa has no diplomatic relations with countries like north korea. busy countries like that as well at this point, have the right to maintain a un mission as a un member state, but it appears 12 un staffers to 12 staffers of russia's un mission are being asked to leave the country. now that came during the press conference that we heard from

russian ambassador na, benzene, he's the permanent representative of russia to the united nations. then he took questions from reporters, and he made a lot of very important points. how can you say that there are nazis in ukraine when the ukranian president is jewish, to which the russian ambassador pointed out that new ukrainian president doesn't seem to have the real power in the country. he took power on a platform of peace and bringing the country back together. however, at this point at new ukrainian president, he has proved himself a, he's proved himself to be weak and have no real power. she demonstrated that his weak, that he has no political will. and following the circumstances, he found himself him to resist louise's those articles, who, who are the main main political of driving force in current. in the 2 days you claim a went on when confronted with allegations or that that russia had bomb civilian

areas. he told other reporters asking those questions to verify the reports because there's quite a bit of a fake news going around. and there's quite a few videos videos that have come from places like syria or libya videos from even video games that are being circulated and claimed and passed off as showing russian atrocities the ide states and its allies put forward a, a resolution before the un general assembly to condemn russia after that, we then heard from, from the representative of ukraine a who thundered and made heated allegations against russia compared to world war 2, et cetera. this is what we heard from the un representative of ukraine when he spoke of the general assembly hall. deadlier strikes dropped on civilians, parents across the entire country, and the russian troops crossed through cranes borders from the territory or russia, billers, and they occupied bars. so ukraine's dunbar and creamier does it remind general

assembly hall benz via the russian ambassador had the opportunity to descent some of these allegations. he got up and he talked about the need for negotiations. he talked about how this resolution that was put forward was not a pro ukrainian resolution, as it does not put any blame on the forces that instigated this conflict with their shelling and attacks on don atkin, lugens, and all as well as that. you know, their continued escalation threats of ukraine to join nato piling lethal weapons into ukraine. and from there i, he talked about the need to not believe everything circulating throughout mainstream media. this is what new benzene said when speaking to the un general assembly hall music suitable movement. but in would you look 1st of all direct dialogue between key and the don't bass was needed. however, this been get me confirmation by the countries leadership that ukraine is not ready for such dialogue for taking steps to grant don bass special status as provided full by the men's agreements. in the end. this convinced us that we simply have no

right to make the residents of don bass suffer further. now the un general assembly includes all member states. it's not simply the members represented on the security council. and it's worth noting that a number of un member states have granted recognition to the don at the people's republic and the lou guns people's republic. and it appears that while there was a lot of podium pounding from the united states and its allies, this meeting of the general assembly did not really accomplish anything. this was a lot of smoke and mirrors and theatrics by allies of the united states and their efforts to demonize russia and obscure the real roots of the conflict. mainstream media coverage of the situation is shifted to the angle that ukraine is not iraq or afghanistan because this conflict is now in europe. is, and i am not talking about syrians who are fleeing the assad regime supported by vladimir putin and i am talking about european, this isn't

a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan, european people with blue eyes and blown here being keel children be killed every day. this is not a developing 3rd world nation. it can be your well, we heard from political analyst on gentleness, tonya lazar who say russia is now facing the same allegations that the u. s. has faced in its conflicts in recent years. the implication is that it's ok and far off, there were world countries that were free to bomb them as much as they want because they don't have blue eyes and blond hair. i mean, it's at the polling that american journalists enjoy the show that there was great fun, that there was a wonderful display of us fire power. now it's now it's not so much fun because the fire power is being directed at a us our, i don't support this invasion. let me make that perfectly clear. but nonetheless, the us and nato set the scene. you know, so shocking, not a lot of fun,

as long as you're not the one being shocked and awed. but when you're on the receiving end is terrible. this is really western hypocrisy. we also got comments from a veteran, gen and politician who says media outlets choosing sides and even exacerbating the tensions amid the conflicts. he believes that should be a return to objective journalism. ethics to do don't, should side to come to torch it's i to came out last weekend with the front page article about the put an enigma. there are 3 pages in side with pure aggression. even on the children's page, i put in his picture there and it says, does he want war? and underneath it says, for weeks, putin has been sending tanks and soldiers to the border with ukraine. the world is worried. that's what they're putting our children through. there you can see what all this agitation looks like. it's no longer controllable journalists, obviously are controlling themselves anymore. that's something i couldn't imagine. i lived through the cold war in the fifty's. i lived through and participate in the debt on policy. and we would have fallen over in

a corner in the sixty's if there had been such an awful medias to one there is today. back then to talk to side to help to make the detox policy. they knew how important it was for germany to have peace and they supported such things today. they're storing things up with that with more at the top of the hour. and which like to say that our thoughts with everybody caught up and if conflict to this very difficult time, ah mm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any world. yes to safe out. this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe?

i solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to so direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. move ukraine begun rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia until recently.
