ukraine from its own sovereign territory. out serious hotter abdul hamid is in constantinople. her in the dani ask region of east of ukraine, she says there's real fear among people there that things could escalate quickly. both sides are denying that they are shooting at each other, but it is happening. so this can only spiral further out of control and that could happen very, very quickly. you could have now do the. busy people in the, in the self prepay republic, the russian back separate is feeling in bolden by the words coming out of moscow by the moves coming out of moscow. maybe feeling a bit stronger or they could be told also to hold back. i mean, it's all really up in the air and that, you know, about 10 days ago i was in those areas traveling along that contact line. and whoever i spoke to at the time, including soldiers in the trenches, brushed away the idea that they would be a military escalation. that they would be a full scale. invasion of the minister of defense was on a daily basis. as saying that the number of troops gathered on the russian side of the border were not enough for foreign invasi

which has agreed to black list banks in vote with the financing of separatist activities in east, in ukraine, and i also specific measures against the 351 russian law makers who voted in favor of recognizing to break away regions of east in ukraine as independent does the you is banning trade with those regions. finally, germany has halted certification of the multi 1000000000 euro north stream to gas pipeline. this is a significant move for the german government, which has resisted pulling the plug on the project despite pressure from its allies . where now we can speak a little bit further about this. we can speak to michel critique in his co founder and leading analyst at rus, energy. moscow, thank you very much for joining us on the to be business. these measures that have just been announced by the u. s. and europe only going to have any effect. well, i believe that a very important part of possible sanctions is still missing. and i mean the energy industry, specifically oil and gas exports over us. i think that the russian president is under the impression that due west is too weak to

ukraine. the had a rushes fs. b security service, the same almost $70000.00. people fled from east in ukraine to russia. many of them are women and children evacuated on the borders of the of separatist leaders. and daniel, at one group, we sent the russian city of to gun rock on saturday and reportedly held for several hours in buses without food, water, or bathroom facilities. imaculi's toll journalist there were many small children and elderly on board separate his authorities announced on friday they would be evacuating around $700000.00 people from east in ukraine, citing fears of an imminent attack by ukrainian forces. while i'm a vehicle, is it me? we were invited and we came with children. now infants here, we left to avoid chilling, but with the hope we were promised, my dear, you heard some of my maker quite young. they make fun of us. every one is sick with children, people on crutches. there's a 90 year old grandmother here. they're not telling us anything. there were the police. i asked them where we would be accommodated. they said, we know as much as you do. levels have been hearing from

has held an emergency session over the crisis. russia used the meeting to accuse ukraine of shelling residential areas in east and ukraine. united states emvoy promised it would bring you sanctions against moscow. the growing number of world leaders and nato have condemned russia's actions. president putin is now violated ukrainian sovereignty. he sent troops in, he's broken international law. he will immediately institute package of economic sanctions, which i think people would expect talk to not just entities in, in don't bass him against him and yet, but in russia itself, targeting russian economic interests. as hard as we can. rush is clear attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity is unprovoked. it is an attack on ukraine status as a you and member state. it violates a basic principle of international law, and it defies our charter. what is more, this moved by president putin is clearly the basis for russia's attempt to create a pre tax for a further invasion of ukraine. dante rica, at present, all parties concerned must exercise restraint and avoid any action that may fuel tensions. we we

ukraine. well, this conflict is making the elderly, the most at risk group in areas controlled by russian back rebels in the east of ukraine. this is actually coming from a human rights watch report which says that many elderly in these areas, well, for starters, haven't been receiving the state pensions because of the unrest potentially leaving them homeless and hungry. the report also surveyed other countries says, some of the most dangerous places for senior citizens, or if you appear, syria, israel, human rights watch says these countries will, these are the countries with the elderly are likely to suffer similar abuses as the younger generations that includes rape abduction and destruction of their homes and property bridget slate. to talk to us about this now she's with human rights watch senior research on the rights of older people with us from london. this is us reading through the report. it's really grim, but we a can't go on notice. i want to go back to that 1st point about the pensions, because that's so important for people who are older and it start. so for mr. a sort of chain reaction for them if

ukraine was not really a legitimate country. he then went on to blame nato for its failures, to address a situation in the east of ukraine. he accused nato as his frequently accused. nate, in the past of expanding into all of those eastern european countries are that were released from the soviet union at the brett when the soviet union broke up. he blamed, ain't accused nato of a deliberately expanding into, into those areas. and he said that in east of ukraine, nato has failed to address the situation in don bass. this is where there's been a 7 year long, more than 70 along now. conflict with these russian separatists. and what vladimir putin has done is essentially ripped up the minks agreement. this is the 7 year long ceasefire between ed negotiated with ukraine and russia and with the french and the germans, that were supposed to find a solution to the situation in east and ukraine. and say in said, vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i'm now going to give a, recognise these 2 countries as independent states, straight after he finished his speech. he went on to sign that agreement, whic
