nation at the beginning of the week when he announced that he was recognizing these break way. easton ukraine republic says independent states in that speech essentially said that you claim has no right to exist as a sovereign state. and then the 2nd speech was announcing what he described as a special military operation. what we're witnessing now is a major invasion of ukraine. and in that speech, it was a very, very aggressive speech. and in that speech, he made this comment which is being interpreted as an implicit threat to, to use nuclear weapons. so i just read a little bit for this right now. so i want to say something very important for those who may be tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. no matter who tries to stand in our way, the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. we haven't seen an atomic bomb go off for a long time. yeah, no, you start. yeah. not since 945, the americans of c targeting japan. now that has been interpreted the nuclear threat. there been a couple of comments from, from western leaders on this. joe biden was aske

easton, ukraine. as independent republics there on the front line fighting has intensified, and locals are bearing the brunt of russian force. and now the shell falls nearby. here in the front line town of chest chia and ukrainian control new hans, the war is already a reality. an attack targets of power station ukraine says pro russian forces were responsible there is also been artillery shelling on residential areas and people hosted but yet unless we have no coverage, no light, but we are in the basement with flashlight stick with him. we went and then it stopped for a while. but when you go out the black start again. it's scary, of course, although we have already experienced this before. he was far away from the frontline, the upper house of the russian parliament voted to approve bloody me. putin's recognition of the done yet enhanced people's republics as independent states. something the un course of breach of international law. but the russian president didn't stop there. he later announced the borders of the 2 republics included ukrainian held territories. not just rebel held areas, nor was

easton ukraine. now leah need pacific is the separatist leader of one of the self declared republics. there the self declared republic of lu hands in easton ukraine. he has given his full backing to the russian military operation. this is the moment we had been waiting for for the past 8 years of suffering of patients, the residence of dumbass have been ridiculed, to have been suffering. we recalled 2014, when the green military men killed dumbass residence because they wanted to speak the russian language who wished to remain loyal to the soviet union, our brother and sister in the fatherland. we have a common shared great history. we have not raised the issue of succession. we have not perpetrated killing. we didn't impose ideology, we simply requested to remain loyal to our land, our home, and to remain with our faith in the russian atmosphere and to stand up to the cranium, malicious bar. so that was leonid, the possession of the sceptre leader of the self declared republic of the hands in easton ukraine. back to you, daughter then. so that's the sentiment from him there. what, how

eastern ukraine and in terms of its status going forward, also mentioned there, of course, what happened in the duma earlier on today with the suggestion that the self proclaimed republics in easton, ukraine be politically recognized. something that could actually be a bone of contention with the united states and nato. now those talks follow a major move from moscow to deescalate the situation surrounding ukraine. it's been our big news all day this tuesday. moscow says it's pulling back its troops from the border. over the past week, western powers have been wanting in pending russian invasion, saying it could happen at any moment. but now the russian defense ministry says its forces have wrapped up their exercises in the area and starting to return it to the base is the units from russia, southern and western military districts have started loading that heavy hit on the trains, which the ministry says will then be heading back to their garrison's separate units will return on their own. although right now, we are hearing lots of skepticism from both nato and just then as well from the german chancellor expecting to see far more now also on tuesday, the russian foreign minister

voting to request the government, the russian government to recognize these breakaway republics in easton, ukraine, which are at the heart of this conflict between russia and ukraine. to recognize them as independent states. that wouldn't be necessarily a military move, but it would almost be that would be as escalator is anything that has happened so far. that would be almost like a sort of a declaration of war light. because that would be an attempt to, to completely tear up the territorial integrity of ukraine for a 2nd time. so both of those things happening on the same day. so are we in a deescalate tree or an escalade tree situation is very hard to say. at this moment, which of those moves turns out to be the more important, let's talk energy security because this, this press conference is really distilled germany's dilemma. can you speak to that? yeah. so germany has been under a lot of pressure from western allies to come out and say that if russia mounts military action against ukraine, that it will stop any progress towards opening the north stream to natural gas pipeline, which is recen
