, and that's because he argues that to what russia has done by invading a eastern ukraine in the don barza in particular, is basically challenging the very nature, the very reason for the existence of the united nations. and he said that to the ukrainian people have a special obligation and expectation of the international community because in 1994, not long after of the young, the fall of the soviet empire, ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons arsenal. and it said than that, and it said that it still has the expectation to day that the international community would be looking out for ukraine's a safety. and he said this is a moment where we need to see the international community, not just come down moscow's actions, but actually hold moscow accountable. and now of course, that raises lots of questions about what in particular the you, when can do. but certainly of given that this is a body of diplomats, the idea is that child, everyone needs to be much more creative, a much more assertive in how they perceive some sort of diplomatic resolution to this expanding crisis. all right

under attack, he said they will fight back now with the life becoming increasingly dangerous in don barza due to the shelling there, a huge number of people have been fleeing to russia. ortiz at don, a call to reports from a temporary shelter for arrivals. around the recent estimate suggests that around 100000 evacuees from the don boss region have made their way into the russian federation. since this evacuation began and right behind me, you can see the border actually between the russian federation and specifically the lugens people's republic that was just recognized as independent by russia. there's also the dynamics, people's republic, but that's a bit farther away. now you could see i'm wearing a bullet proof vest here. the border situation is fine it's, it's very actually safe. but there have been a couple instances of shells falling on to artillery shells falling on to russian territory. so, you know, it's just for protective measure, but like you said, there is also a temporary housing facility here, just about 500 meters away from where i am right now from this border where the

i mean, it's good that sort of berlin and paris is now submitted accelerating efforts on don barza to be processed. we should understand that the russian game at the moment is much bigger. don barzyk sees a side show. i have to say that the russian gave me for listen to mr. poo, didn't see the documents that they put on the table. it's about ukraine's the whole and is about sort of shane she'd been tardy. european security order. as the u. s. moves troops into romania to bolster nato's border along the black sea. karl built says it is in fact the us and nato that russia most wants to deal with. will d, w, correspond mathias, a bullying? i am covering this story from ukraine and census this assessment. there aren't many ways to see these drills from here from ukraine. other than as the menace, russia has extended the horseshoe that is drawn with his troops around ukraine, from crimea, and the very south all along the eastern border with russia. and now extended to the northern border with bela rose, the northern borders just 90 kilometers from where i am standing from the capital of ki

i mean, it's good that sort of burly in paris is now sort of accelerating efforts on don barza to be processed. we should understand that the russian game at the moment is much bigger. don barzyk sees a side show, i have to say that the russian gave me for listen to mr. poo, didn't see the documents that they put on the table. it's about ukraine's the whole and he's about sort of a shame cheap, entire european security order. as the u. s. moves troops into romania to bolster nato's border along the black sea. karl built says it is in fact the u. s. and nato that russia most wants to deal with will also attending talks in berlin are the leaders of the baltic states of latvia, lithuania, and estonia. with the w is chief international edison. richard walker asked the latvian of prime minister our tours christiane, his currants. how his country is dealing with the russian build up. hi, miss harris. how dangerous is the situation at the moment? how close are we to a possible war? well, it's not clear if there will won't be a war. but one thing is clear, president fulton is fighting against

where ukraine and civilians have been evacuated by separatist authorities from their rabbi held don barza regions and into russia. how are you green in authorities, reactance of that they've called on the civilians. they're to come to ukrainian government control territory not to go to russia. they've made clear that they say there is no plan here in ukraine to try and return those churches by force. that of the is the line coming from a separatist leadership that ukrainian attack is imminent. and that the reason for why civilians would need to leave to go to russia and why fighting men would have to register for some kind of reserve forces. they're trying to kind of doll down the rhetoric. there isn't some debate about the actual number of people leaving them. high numbers being quoted by the separate authorities, the russian authorities say giving to give a low and numbers to potentially this is just something that is part of the information was trying to create a t v image that would suggest a growing tensions and panic rather than a reality, but for now, it does seem that he is headin

this was in the don barza region. and this conflict there has been going on for 8 years. report suggests that the mortar attack that was launched along with grenade launchers also and the heavy machine gun no mention of any casualties apparently. but the whole report is questionable. it would seem because the ukrainians are saying that they actually received incoming fire. i was the other way round that the actual context of all of this may not be huge because it's very frequent that we get exchanges of far along this front line about for the past 8 years. that's been the case. however, there is this warning from the us and other western powers that the could be the russians using something like this as a pretext for further military action and incursion, perhaps into this region, or indeed an invasion as such. so that there is some concern over this. i wouldn't say a lot, but certainly concern. now the news french president emanuel mac crone has confirmed the withdrawal of his troops from molly. after 9 he mission, t

consider this issue, although the fact that it's there reflects the feeling over our people about don barza. there are people have been for many years subject to shunning by the ukranian army. and there's, we've heard there today, hundreds of thousands of people in that ukraine or region have russian citizenship . or they probably didn't have any other option after ukraine to stop term and discharging his social responsibility towards them. but let me underscore a yet once again that this is an initiative that is an appeal from the deputies of the ghost duma. so what we need to do is concentrate on the implementation of the minsk agreements and many have said so today, rather than speculate about this, although it says sir. and also equally important to, to make sure that we avoid discussing these issues within the security council. otherwise, we will be discussing any decision of any apartment in the world here. let me draw your attention to another thing that was said by president could put in his head that we need to do. i to mouse to make sure that the solution had on bus cave should be

denise bushland says that this operation to a liberator don barza will and very, very soon brutal only. and once they inside and as people's republic is free and that sentiment is echoed by the soldiers on the ground as well as them here in my personal opinion, we must get our territories back from these evil people. so there will be peace and every one will sleep well closer to roger, the enemy is behaving in different ways and most places they run, but sometimes they fight to the very end. but that's mainly those fighting for political reasons. so basically everyone has running away and giving up obviously the situation on the front lines is a very incense, but it's also very incense here in the city of done that scan to all the nearby towns as a civilian. so her continue hiding in bomb shelters are from the shelling that's, that's coming in here from the ukrainian army. now on a saturday was very loud here in damascus. ukrainian army used a 152 millimeter ah hobbit sir shelves to her to bomb assistant, a civilian population. i hear as we understand that one person had died, a hearin

and there are people there talking about war who say, let's go in, let's help don barza, let's kick ukrainian fascists as they call them out of clear out of the key of government. so we don't know how many russians think like that. probably less than 10 percent, but there are such people and then their voices are heard on stage t v. let me also pass to you an audience question there that we got from one of our you to viewers in the arena. the men off. she asks, how do ordinary ukrainian people see this conflict and go about their daily lives? well, the difference is differences. most people still can't believe that a big war is possible. so they are less concerned about that. or as we in the worst here in germany or in the united states. but a people who understand how dangerous the situation is a very are preparing. they are thinking, boy, they will do, they will probably bring their families him are outside. they are getting ready and they're ready to fight. this is something which i experienced as i was in ukraine during the my dont va lucian in the year, 2014. so people said we are ready

situation in your prayer and was like the actions of russia in protecting, well, useful and citizens of don barza, you shouldn't start counting with february of 2022, 41. this history is many years old, at least not. you should start with the 2013, and the last thing i would like to say, you'd like to count. they had not seen us, which di did you count the people that died on my done in 2013, 2014. how many people died? how many people were killed by a snipers? the, how many of you with the arms are really come here? he's a lawyer. enforcement to people died. how many people were killed with stones taken that not have you ever reported on that by them when you are at least oh, i wish it was during those years. so it's not for you to say that there is an operation conducted here, and it's a beginning of a war. it's an operation to enter which has been going on for many years and ignoring it and not recognizing it is just as criminal as a servicing information of the key of the regime. and i am sorry for my emotion, but this was been overdue and we do not want to listen to entrust your mass media.

we're not talking right now about bon basque and don barza and logan's republics, because this is independent states who are asking, formerly for the support and the fans for from russian federations. all this is according to national law, was in accordance with article 51. but 8 are well international according to international law with a lot would dispute whether lou ganske and, and don the ask, are indeed independent republics. we know russia has recognized them, but, but moving beyond that, let me bring lawrence back in. i mean, a situation you were hinting at ala afghanistan or iraq. do you think lawrence put him would be weary of sending his troops deep into ukraine, especially as we get towards weston ukraine? is it likely that we will see a situation where russian troops will be pulled back to the eastern o and, and southern parts of ukraine at least, rather than getting and brought into some kind of long term career conflict? well, you could see that, but then what is your goal? who's going to be running ukraine? will you still have zalinski there? will you try and put your owner ah,

don barza sees a side show, i have to say that the russian gave me for listen to mr. poo, didn't see the documents that they put on the table. it's about ukraine's own and is about sort of shane she'd been tardy, european security order as the u. s moves troops into romania to bolster nato's border along the black sea. karl built says it is in fact the u. s. and nato, that russia most wants to deal with. because she is from ukraine. russia, france in germany held talks here in berlin today under what is known as the norman, the format. it's an attempt to de escalate tensions between ukraine and russia. for more, nell, i'm joined, buying sophia bash, she's an expert on european defense policy at the center for european reform is good to see you again, less this. talk about the influence that european allies such as france and germany have right now. i mean, do they have much influence on what vladimir putin is going to do? well, that's a good question. i mean, fans and germany, obviously influential powers in europe and they are important voices in this crisis, not least because. busy

because on the don bass and the part of the ukrainian don barza, which is not occupied there are people living there and they see water. what is happening on the occupied part of it? how that on boss was destroyed, how the famous stadium that and battery and i was, is destroyed, damascus to be a very developed city. there were code towns and cities and everything was well developing, comparing now what were they have now and what they used to have ukrainians can see what can happen. this is why they're going to stand until the very end. and therefore, i think that's a very important argument that the boys also mentioned. it's an important statement that russians should hear us. they should, they should listen and understand that the war is something. no one really needs her bad. at the same time, we have not. and why did anyone to come and visit us with the weapons in their hands? our country has changed since our society has changed. our armies differ, and many a various changes have happened and the occupation of a city or a territory will not happen. unfortunately, there will be a tr

try means for the free choice, and they will push for crimea and do it just like they did in the don barza. they will push for a war for money. but just like, what would be just the rights of advancing your cry yields low cool. but people a know were, were to and they also claims to some other russian territory. but they intelligent this, we receive you and the news that a clash against these nazi forces a inevitable is just a matter of time. the yard biding their time. yeah. and now they're also saying they want nuclear power was ordering. it won't, nuclear weapons will not let them do it. as i said, rush accepted, new political reality is holding the clap. so the soviet union will respect any new nations in the post registry. we will reach back to the territory and we do respect . and one of the example of systems we extended to contest on visual evasion to tragic situation and the challenge between territorial syringe, integrity, and solver. energy of russia cannot exist and having a turban and threat coming from new ukraine. we all remember the bass in the know which is 2005. we fill o

let him here put in a in moscow, said that the kremlin is also observing the escalation here in don barza. and he called on all sides of the conflict to her to start a dialogue and soon solve this conflict with a negotiation solid and load the know a loss of life. now we've been indeed working here in don boss for quite some time . now actually they come in here for 8 years since the company began in 2014 and the situation had really intensified over the past week or so. it has been rude allowed to along the front line. a lot of artillery shelling a lot of explosions, a lot of damage to civilian infrastructure. a couple of people were civilians were wounded as well. now the o. c, monitoring michigan who are also here and, and as scanned in logan's, they're here in force. i was at their base a little bit earlier. oh the vehicles i seem to be in place. looks like none our own patrol of but so we are hoping to hear from them their evaluations very soon earlier. they did say that they are also reporting an escalation along the front line. now from what i understand concerning the evacuation o

for now, several regions in don barza have been cut off from the water supply due to heavy shelling. our correspondence roman quarter of is near done yet with this update. we are in the village of fi, glen of car, right outside the city of damascus. this place is a home to about 8000 people and it's so if a major major fighting on the last few days, i was told it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before thought working of. we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to deliver water. thanks for the people here because as a result of shelling, water supply was cut off to the people here and to nearby towns as well. oh and all about, well, more than 20000 people have no access to drinking water. the moment we are riding along with the red cross delivering water tanks to the people here, we're driving right along the front line. the ukraine positions are merely just basically hundreds of 5 meters away. but this, despite that, the, the red cross nice to deliver water tanks to a residence and they deliver to these a water tank to 5 different locations in the village. this is f

don barza sees a side show, i have to say that the russian gave me for listen to mr. poo didn't see the documents that they put on table. it's about ukraine to hold and is about sort of shane she'd been tardy. european security order. as the us moves troops into romania to bolster nato's border along the black sea, karl built says it is in fact the us and nato that russia most wants to deal with. with the w's chief international editor rich walker spoke to lassie as prime minister about how his country is dealing with the russian builder. primacy carriage. how dangerous is the situation at the moment? how close are we to a possible war? well, it's not clear if there will won't be a war, but one thing is clear, president fulton is fighting against ukraine's independence against their democracy . that's a 3rd that he feels. he talks about the encroachment of nato. but what he is really fighting is the independence of ukraine. and this is what we in the west, what we in the european union, and what we, as nato member states, have an obligation to support is ukrainian independence. that is

according to the russian authorities, over 15000 new don barza evacuees have entered the russian federation just to day. and thanks to these volunteers and emergency services, workers that these temporary housing facilities and continue to function and continue to help people fleeing the ferocious conflict. in done boss, donald quarter r t ra stove region will ukraine's president the landscape that that marshal law is being imposed in ukraine, and that ukraine's military infrastructure is under attack. he earlier made an emotional appeal to the population of both countries and said that he tried to coal president putin, but no one answered him. ukraine foreign ministry. meanwhile, phase russia has unleashed a war against ukraine. meanwhile, nato representatives on to convene an emergency meeting. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has denied all claims of rocket and air attacks on ukrainian cities and ministry spokesperson said that there are no threats to the civilian population in ukraine. as high precision weapons are incapacitating military infrastructure. including ad defense faci

don don barza territories been really loud before the operation sagal operation to liberate the rest on the bus or region began. but sir, we've been hearing a lot of artillery fire here in the center on friday. of course it's been a, it's sounds a lot more distant, but yes, they were explosions are right here in the city as for the atmosphere, you can definitely see people walking around me. but i made a one observe ation a little bit earlier. as you know, the head of the, the next people's republic and asked mobility zation offer all men into the army and, and defend overland. so when i was watching on the streets earlier today, is that her, on public transportation, on the streets in cafes and restaurants. it's mostly women, the elderly and children, the young men are either in a uniform or it will be most m o. all of them are in uniform. and the other men that i can see are elderly who have not been mobilized. but of course everyone here is hoping that's vis. conflict will soon and after all, they've been living in this hardship for 8 years already. and many people have lost loved

my colleagues will tell you about while people in don barza celebrates in russian recognition of their sovereignty, you can see them setting off fireworks and waving russian flags we heard from local don. yes. residents who gave us their reaction to the events ah, no with wanting origin or to know my dad with a c as us do us to read, you're not dealing with no, not on the story, not that is not here. with president biden has analysed new sanctions against russia. after recognize the dumbass republics and moved, the white house was quick to label a gross violation of international obligations. ortiz kennimore been as the details of biden's statement. well, we have an executive order that has been signed by us president joe biden, imposing sanctions on the republics that have just been recognized by russia and don't ask new god. god is the publics are now subject to us sanctions, as are all who do business in the area. these republics have have received recognition in all of those territories. now what's interesting is the language of these executive orders was a bit dramatic. how we hav

the don barza is just a territory and for us that dumbass is a place of life to suit it. i don't think our approaches are compatible. i don't want her to call them names, but i don't think that it is possible to talk in the situation better. because i think another thing, if not, maybe for me 1st republican channel. oh, you're probably, my movers. come more. well, obviously. her. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. so mr. krishnan? first of all, i guess for more options or if the tax union a were but bronson, i pulled something with port nash, i guess is nashika with an exclusion adviser. just a courtesy job that we got a broken. yeah. oh, can i get a little critical infrastructure and i will do this work to up. thank you. muted your ball or before the part of europe know what it was with open the control it. wow. and i wouldn't say that it has 32 grocer. draconian measures alike, frisking people in the streets are law enforcement officials don't see any need for that, but i think the current to work that is being done is very effective. whereas now uncovering sleeping cells into anot

well, i think the heat might open where it is and use of for the rush lid issue in don barza, for instance, a given the current escalation, or i'd love to exclude a diplomatic reza, recognition of the break of it, of objects or by russia. and that would be, of course, a game changer that would indeed make this situation is to can somewhat similar to what happened in georgia, beck and the $2.00 oh $8.00. and then i think are the main screen agreements will collapse. i don't think that the probability is very high, but i do not exclude that. because in my view, the state duma would have never advanced such an idea if they had not received a nod from the cabinet. so right now, i think this is probably more likely challenger to the means agreements than an invasion of russia across the board with you in at least that's how i see the situation to day. and for me are the most immediate task is to preserve them means agreements to avoid a diplomatic or a combination of their break career to positives. and to get back to the negotiating table. i don't think that we have other lower level options t

told by russia will be limited to only 2 years from republic, say independent republic shop for don barza. no guns can, will be as a, i think there will be no, any movement to watch or the capital offer you pray. and then also there will be just for some short on strikes against the nazis and terrorists record is ations, which are actually present, which are destroying or trying to destroy the people off off are done that scandal guns. so this is a shot operation, ultimately saying, and i think that it will assume close out of its been strong condemnation from european union. a foreign policy just for al is spoken alongside your commission. president ursula on the lay and in brussels. here's what they had say. these are among the darkest hour to 40 up sees the end of world war 2 and major nuclear power as attack and neighbor country and is threatening reprisals of any other state than may come to which rescue. it is not only did great this violation of international law. it's a violation of the basic principles of human good distance. it's costing many lives with unknown consequences ahea

be the beginning of a solution for a peaceful resolution to the ukrainian situation involving the don barza and the ukranian government. with his 1st figures for his daughter to my mind, it's important that the discussions are happening just down that trial, actual contact group. this is what has been agreed on in minsk and that is exactly what we are trying to achieve to make possible. let me say once again that i believe in yugoslavia, this situation was slightly different. there was the danger of more of a genocide and this order is one had to be prevented, which i'm glad that by now the development there is a peaceful one than that. the balkan countries of all develop their own ah, developments also towards the european union and they did so from within themselves . that's a good sign of volition because of the root of one of them, of them. as far as this is concerned, i would like to add that in our opinion, what is happening in the don bus to day is also a genocide against it. and i was to maria, give me a why should i close by? sorry, an novice d. maria glebova, i would like to ask h

cuts away from those canadian truckers protesters with our back to our top store this our people in don barza celebrating russian recognition of the sovereign say you can see them setting off fireworks and waving russian flags we heard from local done yet. residents who gave us their reaction to this event ah, no with ordering would you want to know with . 2 a c, as of to us, we are not dealing with no, not on the with oh, similarly, when use the button you're with now we're going to return now to that meeting of the united nations security council, which is currently taking place in new york. let soon and again to hear what the members have to say. peacekeepers, colleagues, the actions russia has chosen to day. we'll have severe and far reaching consequences. first to human life, an invasion of ukraine unleashes the forces of war, death, and destruction on the people of ukraine. the humanitarian impact will be terrible on civilians fleeing the fighting. we know that women and children will suffer most 2nd to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a un member state which is protected an

and so real change to see shift there and a real can change in tone on you mentioned don barza over in the east. what's happening along that line of contacts, a fuse me line of contact in eastern ukraine where governments and separate his forces a clashing situation is pretty bad, it's almost brave and he's comparable with situation in 20142015. when that warren is ukraine was at its high point, you have thousands people left without electricity without a gas, without a water because of damage, critical infrastructure, and even 1015 clumps away from those front lines. shelling is reaching people and civilians are being caught up in all of this. people spending a long time in a, in the sellers or an area shelters. really pacey, unable to go about their daily business for fear of being caught in the crossfire and lots of people who may be thought that they had kind of made that piece. and some have found a weight of living in that region. and given the level of violence that they were having to deal with up till this most recent uptake an hourly thinking about whether it's time to pack m

and the flare up in shelling people continue to flee from don barza into russia. more than $61000.00 to have over the cross the border. all of our q e is being off of medical and psychological supports after they cross the border. they gathering, enroll stole fund from the 9 trains carrying refugees have deposited, taking them fresh and regions. donald quarter records from the wealth of regions, main rail station, where vacuum is arriving daily by the thousands. around 10000 don bos evacuees have crossed the border into the russian federation over the past several days. and that number is constantly rising there, arriving on buses and cars, some even making the journey on foot. and you can see behind me, one of the major train stations in russia's ra stove region where they're arriving by rail. ah, you have to find you listed. i came here and asked if i could house, why not help people who are in a very difficult situation. these are children and women and there are the elderly, which is very sad. we take refugees and put them in a convoy. our work is not tricky.

the other is ongoing conflict in these don barza and so forth. and generally there is very kind of on t host al, to roster governments and public opinion ukraine, which they also have the balance. so they want to make sure that, that thing, that's country ukraine, in terms of its like ability does not fuel kind of powerful enough to try to solve of those issues, any issues with russia. and i think that's much more important than any, any kind of protector battle groups, which nathan might put itself in romania will. although gary and so forth. a cadre, i know you touched on this somewhat in your previous answer, but i want to just try to dig in a little bit deeper and ask you, what are some other lessons that can be learned when it comes to nato battle groups in baltic states. and some other lessons or no i, i must agree with. but alexander says, i, i think russia understand what that is about. i haven't heard anyone a serious in moscow ever claimed, but res troops represent the threat to moscow. they know, but resa here as a result of russia's o

this was in the don barza region and this conflict there has been going on for 8 years. report suggests that the mortar attack that was launched along with grenade launchers also and the heavy machine gun no mention of any casualties apparently. but the whole report is questionable, it would seem because the ukrainians are saying that they actually received incoming fire. i was the other way round that the actual context of all of this may not be huge because it's very frequent that we get exchanges of far along this front line about for the past 8 years. that's been the case. however, there is this warning from the us and other western powers that the could be the russians using something like this as a pretext for further military action and incursion, perhaps into this region, or indeed an invasion as such. so that there is some concern over this, i wouldn't say a lot, but certainly consume. well, let's go live natalie botany parker, who's there in brussels, where nato defense ministers are meeting for a 2nd day said day to need, what are we expecting? it would i to began with the ro

i will be limited to only to use them republics independent republic shop for don barza, no guns, and they will do as a i think there will be no any movement to watch. so the capital offer you train and also there will be just a, some surgical strikes against the nazis and terrorist organizations, which are actually present, which are destroying or trying to destroy the people off off are done that scandal, guns. so this is a short operation. ultimately saying, and i think that it will be soon close up. peter zamiah's, his executive director of the razor democracy initiative and a contributor to the odessa review. he has more for us now on what he makes of the latest developments. a most analyst sitting here in ukraine would tell you that he would start with a shock in all campaign in the east of ukraine for now and not very many could have predicted that he would be striking at so many multiple targets at once. you know, he wouldn't have said that he's only going in the military installations and not going to target population centers directly. it seems like what they were seeing and

don barza sideshow, i have to say the russian gave me for listen to mr. poo didn't see the documents that they put on the table is about ukraine's home. and he's about sort of a shame. she'd been tardy european security order, and that is a negotiation. they are thinking primarily with nate, that's the big game that we see at the moment. we'll have to leave it there called belt, the co chair of the european council formulations, former prime minister, sweden. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. let's get a round up of some other headlines now. libya's prime minister abdul hamid ald vega has survived an assassination attempt that's according to reuters news agency. or they quoted a government source in saying that de baby car had been struck with bullets as he returned home. but he had escaped on the harm to of voting and started and elections, and several indian states including its most populous with our pradesh there, the chief minister yogi of it you enough is seeking re election for his hindu nationalist. b j. p party, which is also india's ruling party at a national l
