everyone here is waiting — soldiers, civilians in and out of uniform, and maksym and dmytro.s, kyiv. in the last few hours, president zelensky has released a new video address. translation: the russian | occupiers cannot conquer us. they do not have such strength. there is no such spirit. they are based only on violence, only on terror, only on weapons, of which they have many. but the occupiers have no natural basis for normal life so that people can feel happy and dream. they are organically incapable of making life normal. whenever russia has come to a foreign land, dreams are impossible. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kyiv and gave us a sense of the mood in the ukrainian capital. it's bitterly cold, and it has been a night of more constant and louder explosions. when the curfew came into force at 8:00pm local time, that's 1800 hours gmt, usually every night there is some explosions when night falls. we see both explosions, hear explosions in the distance. we sometimes see the surface—to—air missiles streaking across the skies by the ukrainian forc

foreign ministers don't usually hug, but dmytro kuleba could probably use one.or a warm turkish welcome, but for the chance to make peace. and this is the man who potentially could help — sergey lavrov, russia's veteran foreign minister, 18 years in post with the ear of vladimir putin. for 90 minutes, they sat only a few feet apart, but the gap between them was huge. mr lavrov refusing to agree a ceasefire, mr kuleba refusing to surrender. he asked for a 2k hour pause in the fighting, a humanitarian corridor out of mariupol, but said russia's foreign minister seemed unable to make any commitments. they will continue their aggression until ukraine meets their demands, and the list of those demands is a surrender. this is why it is not... why it is not acceptable to us. mr lavrov said for the war to end, ukraine had first to be disarmed and give up hopes ofjoining the eu or nato. and incredibly, he defended the deadly bombing of the maternity and children's hospital in mariupol, claiming it had been a base for ukrainian forces — only for russia's defence ministry

i'm here with foreign minister dmytro kuleba. ministe foreign minister kuleba, welcome.ction against each other with russians shooting down american planes is too dangerous and could result in an escalation nobody would want. >> well, as we speak, russia planes continue to bomb ukranian civilians, including women and children. it's a disaster here, and we need to protect them. i ask two things. first, close the air space, and second, provide us with planes which we can fly and fight in the air ourselves. unfortunately, we haven't received a full response to either of these questions, which effectively means that our pilots will continue to fight, but they will also be shot down. russia will go to the sky and that will help raise the cost of this war. >> on that second request, do you have any expectation that you will receive planes, or was that also -- was that request also denied? >> i have expectations on both requests, it's just a matter of time. when it comes to trades, we are sure talks are underway and the solution is close. the problem is that we have no time for

sergey lavrov and his ukrainian counterpart dmytro kuleba meeting in antalia. they met for under an hour and a half by our estimates. and they had apparently wide ranging talks but the talks did not amount to anything in terms of a cease-fire. they amounted to nothing in terms of humanitarian corridors, which is so urgently needed, particularly in cities like mariupol being agreed. look, it was a positive, you know, that these talks took place at all. given the security situation, given the ferocity of the fighting. and i think it is also true that both sides went to the negotiating table in a -- with slightly compromised positions. the russians, for instance, appear to have dropped their demand, that there should be a change of government inside ukraine. they want to install a puppet government that would be pro moscow, that demand is no longer being voiced. the ukrainians for their part have, you know, said that they're prepared to discuss the issue of nato membership, and look at other ways of guaranteeing ukraine's security and that's a small sign of progre

foreign minister dmytro .nister, you must have seen your counterpart at the european union, the european union's foreign policy chief, suggested that china mediate between russia and ukraine. what do you think of that proposal? >> well, we welcome any attempt to mediate and help us stop this mad war launched by president putin. i spoke myself with the chinese foreign minister, he assured me that china is not interested in this war and is ready to make a contribution to putting an end to it through diplomacy. so we will welcome this effort, however, again, it was president putin who launched this war and it's he who has to stop. ukraine is not making any compromises on the issues of its territorial integrity. >> is it your sense that the chinese might pressure the russians to acknowledge the territorial integrity of ukraine? >> it's hard to say. chinese diplomacy works according to its own mechanics and i'm not aware of any follow-up between china and moscow after i spoke with the chinese foreign minister and t

dmytro, thank you so much for coming. we very much appreciate it. i want to know if you know how exactly and what medicines exactly do these hospitals need and is the need increasing? hello sir. we are the biggest pharmaceutical company in ukraine, garnethill located in kyiv and we continue to operate and ship our products and the needs across whole ukraine hospitals, its military hospitals, its civilian hospitals. it's hospitals in mariupol in kharkiv. it's very difficult. we are missing drivers the yesterday the trucks that were shipping medical goods to mariupol were shelled by the military, by russian military. it's it's very difficult. but i have at the plant right now 150 people, including 47 children. some of them engage in helping i would seem to continue the production of necessary medical supplies and products for the whole ukraine. but the demands are growing and the needs are growing. i wonder if i know you said you're targeting hospitals and you're doing yeoman's work over there, sir. i just want to know if if you are either willing or

dmytro, i'm so sorry. i don't know what it's like to look at these pictures where you grew up and not recognize the place that you see in these bombed outbuildings. it's absolutely extraordinary. a quick thought and then we're going to the white house, sir. >> they destroyed 15 years of any past. my school, my university, everything around my house. ju 30% of the buildings are destroyed totally. 50% more are hardly damaged. there's no mariupol anymore. we have to build a new city. >> martha: i'm so sorry, dmytro. thanks for being with us. stay well. we'll keep in touch. >> thank you. >> martha: let's go to the white house now. the press secretary is at the podium, this is getting underway. a historic discussion with the chinese leader today between our president and president chi. let's listen. >> he will re-affirm our iron clad commitment to our nato allies and look at every inch of nato territory. then he will joined a scheduled european council summit to share our concerns about ukraine, provide humanit

dmytro, who said he would take up arms, is putting his money where his mouth is.e's already on his way back to kyiv today to begin the process of enlisting. >> unbelievable. jacob, thank you for your reporting. >>> vladimir putin is speaking, we're getting the translation in, but i'm told that he just said the purpose of the operation, meaning the war that he is conducting against the people of ukraine, he says to save people from genocide when, of course, the pictures that we're seeing each and every day show what a tremendous lie that is as the number of people who died, the amount of destruction continues. >>> up next, disturbing new details in that texas crash that killed nine people this week, a 13-year-old behind the wheel, a 13-year-old behind the wheel of one of the vehicles. we'll take you to texas next. mm.

amy: ukraine's foreign minister dmytro kuleba.begin today's show in. >> bel trew is an international correspondent for the independent based in beirut. she's been covering the war in ukraine since the russian invasion began last month. she joins us now from vinnytsia, ukraine. welcome to democracy now!, bel. if you can start off by describing the situation where you are and then we'll talk about mariyupol and what you understand is taking place there. guest: i'm at the moment in central city key for humanitarian aid delivery, but also on the refugee trails because it connects the south of ukraine, the east of ukraine, the north of ukraine to the west. it's a very, very crucial city. at the same time it's also under bombardment. i've just come back fromhe town's main airport, it was hit apparently by eight differe missiles. there is a military base nearby. we are going air raid sirens here every hour pretty much as well as the fact it's key routes for humanitarian aid and refugees. >> so far as you know have civilian areas within t

moments ago i spoke with the foreign minister of ukraine dmytro kuleba. coming up. >>> all this while the refugee crisis continues to escalate. more than 1.7 million people now fleeing for safety. in russia the kremlin is cracking down within its own borders detaining thousands of anti-war protesters around the country as vladimir putin's regime ramps up restrictions on free speech. >>> we have team coverage on the ongoing crisis. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell starts us off in kyiv. good morning again, ian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. russia is now claiming it's going to allow these safe corridors for civilians to flee from major cities including the capital here, kyiv. ukraine is denouncing that proposal as unacceptable because the routes lead directly into russia or its ally belarus. i don't know if you can make out the smoke in the distance. that's around 50, 60 miles away but it shows russian forces advancing. what we're seeing on the ground is not cease-fires. it's civilians under attack. a word of warning, there are graphic imag

secretary of state antony blinken met ukrainian foreign minister dmytro kuleba not far from a refugee shelter in poland. blinken reaffirmed u.s. support for ukraine, and said military and economic aid will increase. >> we're in it with ukraine, one way or another: the short run, the medium run, the long run. we're in this together. we will succeed together. ukraine is going to prevail. >> sreenivasan: in ukraine today there were many reports of russian attacks. ukrainian defense ministry video showed the aftermath of shelling and attacks in multiple cities and towns. in the city of kherson, a video distributed by ukraine's defense forces showed people waving ukrainian flags and chanting "kherson is ukraine.” last nightpresident volodymyr zelensky demanded nato enforce a no-fly zone-- something the organization says would trigger war with russia. zelensky said that without it, nato nations will be responsible for more deaths in ukraine. >> ( translated ): all the people who die, from this day forward, will also die because of you-- because of your weakness, because of your lack of unit

possible ceasefire, and also, as we understand it, now being prepared to send his foreign minister dmytro foreign minister lavrov this coming thursday? do you think those sorts of contacts, that sort of dialogue is a mistake? i don't think so, i don't think that's a mistake. and here is the thing — the decision to send a delegation to belarus or to turkey is reasonable because it shows that ukraine is acting in a good faith. whether russia wants to have a diplomatic solution — no. er, let me remind you that we had a few years to get a real diplomatic solution. we had very big room for these kinds of diplomatic talks, but russia was not interested in any kind of diplomacy. russia is interested in atrocities and killings. well, that's not what moscow says. and if i look at the reporting from, for example, the news website bellingcat, the investigative journalism website, they say that they have information about exactly what the russians are putting on the table. the russians are saying, it seems, and dmitry peskov, the spokesman for putin, has pretty much confirmed this, that if ukraine is

but tomorrow, here in the southern turkish city of antalya, ukraine's foreign minister, dmytro kulebahest level of contact between both sides since the invasion. the fact they are taking place suggests both sides think they have got something to talk about. but expectations are not high. some wonder if china could make a difference. president xi and putin said theirfriendship had no limits but russia now depends on china buying its oil and gas and mr xi could use that leverage on russia. he is already calling for restraint and offering aid. the one outcome most feared is of escalation. western officials say they have serious concerns russia could be preparing to use nonconventional arms, such as chemical weapons. and ukraine's demand for nato jets to enforce a no—fly zone is still being refused for fear of triggering a wider war. our goal is to end the war, not to expand it, including potentially expand it to nato territory. we want to make sure that it is not prolonged, to the best of our ability, otherwise it is going to turn even deadlier. for now, the fighting continues within ukr

but speaking after the meeting, the ukrainian foreign minister dmytro kuleba saying russia isn't readylomacy, insisting instead on surrender which ukraine will never agree to. >> i'm ready to continue this engagement with the purpose of ending the war in ukraine. >> reporter: the high-stakes meeting coming after one of the most horrific attacks the country has seen. in mariupol, a russian air strike destroying a children's hospital and maternity ward. it's one of the largest russian air strikes since they invaded. the force of the blast leaving a crater stories deep, but the hospital was sparsely occupied. even so three people were killed, 17 wounded. president zelenskyy tweeting videos showing the devastation inside the hospital saying the attack is an atrocity and that people, children were under the rubble pointing to the attack, wladimir klitschko, former world heavyweight boxing champion and brother of kyiv's mayor, calling for putin to be stopped. >> to attack children is to attack life. civilization itself. >> reporter: mariupol was supposed to be under a cease-fire where civili

20,000 foreign citizens have applied to go there to fight, according to ukraine's foreign minister dmytroek, from the center for research on extremism to ask who are they and what's motivating them. it's everybody, really. it's people from all walks of life, different countries, one that definitely stands out or at least seems to be standing out of the military veterans. but in reality, this is a big mobilisation, we shall see what kind of fire is behind the smoke. for now as you rightly said, 20,000 apparently applied but applied means send e—mail to the ukrainian embassy. we will see how many actually make it to ukraine. that will be substantially smaller number. we are hearing from governments that people shouldn't be going to do this in fact, borisjohnson i think was saying that instead of fighting people should donate instead. how are governments managing the fact that citizens from one country want to go and fight for the army of another? this is a tricky territory. we spent the last decade essentially looking in one direction. as far as following fighters of volunteers. 0bviously t

ukraine's foreign minister, dmytro kuleba, said there must be a ceasefire by russia to allow repairsworst nuclear accident in 1986. the un's nuclear watchdog says sufficient safety measures are in place, including cooling pools for spent nuclear rods and back—up diesel generators. nuclear policy expert joseph cirincione joins me now from washington. thank you for coming on the programme. what do you think is the application of this lost power supply at chernobyl? irate power supply at chernobyl? - dodged a nuclear bullet today with the loss of power does not appear to affect the main safety equipment. the director statements earlier today relieved a lot of us about the ability of those spent fuel ponds to maintain integrity, and to prevent any overheating of even these very old fuel rods. i read the stress report done on this in 20 —— on this facility in 2011 and they tested out exactly this kind of incident and they concluded the fuel could remain safe for 50 days after which radiation levels would start to rise. we have avoided a catastrophe now about the situation at chernobyl is

20,000 foreign citizens have applied to go there to fight, according to ukraine's foreign minister dmytroed arriving in ukraine a few days ago. so who are they, where are they from and what's motivating them? someone who's been following all this very closely is kacper rekawek from the center for research on extremism based in oslo. great to have you on the program. let's start with that, shall we? who let's start with that, shall we? who exactl are let's start with that, shall we? who exactly are the _ let's start with that, shall we? who exactly are the people _ let's start with that, shall we? who exactly are the people willing to join in this international brigade and what is motivating them? take ou for and what is motivating them? take you for having _ and what is motivating them? take you for having me. _ and what is motivating them? take you for having me. it's _ and what is motivating them? ta

dmytro gurin. i am sorry,il not say our plans, how we are preparing, but of course we are preparing. >> todd: with civilians being slaughtered throughout ukraine to carley's point biological or chemical war fare on the horizon, can russian soldiers say, we thought we were here on a training mission? >> that's, you know, they have instructions. they have to say we're on training missions. we found a lot of documents already on russian soldiers where there are real goals of this operation are written in black and white and they know what they are doing here and they -- on the phone calls with relatives, they know where they are going and -- for war. it is also important, they have allowed to shoot civilians, they have permission to shoot civilians. >> carley: wow. i want to ask about the mig 29 fighter jet situation, the deal to get planes to ukraine appear to have fallen apart. the u.s. is saying ukraine does have planes that are usable and they don't really need to add migs to the fleet, what is yo

ukraine's foreign minister dmytro kuleba said both sides agreed to try to find a solution to the humanitarian ukraine would never agree to russia's demands to surrender. the discussions have been taking place in antalya, from where our correspondent tom bateman sent this report. russia's finance minister swept in raising some slim hopes at least. these are the highest level talks so far as the civilian suffering in ukraine only worsens. also here today his ukrainian cart about. he was welcomed by turkey's top diplomat the host of these talks but any chance of peace will take more than a warm embrace. the discussions were behind closed doors, the first time the two had met face—to—face since russia invaded ukraine. but expectations were low. they broke up after 90 minutes without any agreement on a proposed 24—hour ceasefire. mr lavrov was asked how russia could justify the bombing of a maternity hospital. he claimed counter to the evidence it was being used by gunmen. tt’s counter to the evidence it was being used by gunmen-— used by gunmen. it's not the first time we see _ used by gunmen. it

dmytro kuleba and sergei lavrov are meeting on the margins of a diplomatic conference in the turkish to our correspondent tom bateman who's in antalya. what are the expectations surrounding these talks? because they are much more high level in recent talks between both sides. this is the margins of what was a separate diplomatic conference but is very quickly becoming the centrepiece of what is happening here. the delegations arrived this morning and they started talking just over an hour ago now. we had a bit of a false alarm a few minutes ago where we were rushed out of the press room here and into two adjoining rooms, two separate rooms where the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers will be holding press conferences. that in itself is an interesting signal, we didn't have any understanding yesterday that the russians were going to give a press conference, so i think that tells us something that they feel they will have something to say and a lot being read into how long these talks go on. the first face—to—face talks go on. the first face—to—face talks at this high level betwee

after the meeting, dmytro kuleba said there'd been no progress with russia on a fresh ceasefire.narratives about ukraine. difficult because i did my best to at least find a diplomatic solution to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding on the battleground, in the besieged cities. the most tragic situation is currently now in the city of mariupol, on the sea of azov. the city is being bombarded from the air, it's being hit by artillery fire and i came here with a humanitarian purpose, to walk out from the meeting with the decision to arrange a humanitarian corridor in and from mariupol. from mariupol, for civilians who want to flee this area of fear and struggle and humanitarian corridor to bring in mariupol humanitarian aid. unfortunately, minister lavrov was not in a position to commit himself to it, but he will correspond with respective authorities on this issue. we also raised the issue of a ceasefire, a 2a—hour ceasefire, to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this, since it seems that there are other decision—makers for this matter in russi

that's where the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is set to meet with his ukrainian counterpart dmytro kuleba. it' meanwhile, in poland, the u.s. vice president kamala harris is going to be meeting with the country's president and prime minister in the next hour, hoping to clear up a dispute over poland's plan to send fighter jets to ukraine by way of a u.s.-nato air base in germany. the u.s. has rejected that idea, saying it could just make things worse. now an old quote says that war brings out the worst and the best in people, and some of the best can be seen in a moldovan village within earshot of the ukrainian border. moldova has received more than 80,000 ukrainian refugees. and people in one village are opening their homes and their hear hearts to ukrainians in need. >> reporter: on the day rausch first attacked ukraine, residents here heard explosions. >> you can hear sometimes the explosions from ukraine. it's terrifying. >> reporter: it's not just the sounds of war that are coming across the border. phenomenals of the conflict have come here too. some moldovan villagers have o
