i've called over to john hall, her mind for us in the v as in west and ukraine. join us a was the reaction being in ukraine to those talk to the diplomatic efforts. when you listen to dmitri labor list to the actual words that he uses, he talks about it being quite hard at times to listen to such a laboratory in those talks. i think you can see why from the ukrainian perspective, mr. rob saying that that attack on the maternity hospital in mario paul on wednesday was essentially the fault of the ukrainians for placing military assets and personnel close to civilian insta. the installation is like hospitals, his own spokes person in moscow at the beginning of the morning. in fact said it had not happened at all that it was fake news mister lab of talking about the ukrainians using civilians as human shields. he talked about the ukrainians, operating western funded factories producing chemical and biological weapons that sites in it around the capital q. what this sort of thing tells the ukrainians reading into what mr. label was saying was that this is really not

john hall reporting live from the v in ukraine. nato foreign ministers holding a special meeting on ukraine mc comes is allies tight and sanctions already met solutions in a circle. nato secretary general says the alliance has ruled out imposing a no size zone in ukraine. we have a responsibility as they dont us to prevent this war from escalating beyond ukraine. because that will be even more dangerous, more devastating on the will cause even more human suffering. so, we may declare that again, not going to move into ukraine, neither on the ground or in the air space. and of course, the only way to implement a no fly zone is to send, need to planes, fighter planes into space and then impulse that no fly zone by shooting down russian things. well as medicaid is, jame phase is live for us in brussels. james, what else did the nato secretary general have to say? well, i think in many ways that was the, the most important point coming out of this because you have repeated appeals from the ukrainians for more assistance and direct assistance and that no fly zone. i think it went to all of the f

when john hall is standing by for us in the western ukrainian city of lavelle. first, let's go to step boston, who's in the capital, cuz they have steph, what is the latest situation where you are in the surrounding areas? well, very intense fighting here in the key of at the outskirts as her constant, the sound of explosions and the artillery fire at the, at the ring of the city, not very far from here. russian forces are now approaching, as you say, around 25 kilometers from the center of the city. we know that this long column of for russian tanks and a military equipment that was so sort of stalled in front of the capital, is now dispersing into the outskirts of the capitol, making themselves ready for an assault or engage in fighting right now. and we also see at the same time that the russian forces are coming to the south towards the south fighting himself through making a circle around the capitol. or the assumption here is of course, at the will be a siege that the russian forces will close the whole capital. and of course people here into surrender. bu

if this was over to john hall, who is innovative in weston ukraine, jonah, i guess the picture if you could, across the rest of the country there, now new cities coming in, coming under tank for the 1st time. yes, strikes reported overnight across the sort of broad arc of cities, even the east coast journey here in the north where critical infrastructure continues to come under attack of water pipeline such as have been hit there in the city of denique. for us, we are referring to the center east of the country, a city that has largely been on the evacuation route for a lot of civilians coming from the east. it hasn't been touched much up to now 3 reported strikes into neat bro overnight. falling in residential areas close to apartment buildings close to a kindergarten, we were told by local officials in that town. a shoe factory destroyed there, and explosions reported at lutes, north, east of ki, of, and also ivana francisco. that's just south of where i am here in the reportedly explosions at the military airfields in those 2 places. potentially. part of the russians ongoing effort

andrew simmons, al jazeera levine, and more with john hall. now he's in the v. v as well. jonah, i feel intensity is the word now right across to ukraine. russia just increasing that intensity, whether it be on the ground with area of the time. you know, that continues to be lots of talk, including in western intelligence assessments about they frustration being felt by the russians at the slow pace of their march into ukraine. a combination of heavy ukrainian resistance and sort of equipment failures and tactical decision making by the russians as well. and the result of it is that they are certainly upping the tempo of their attacks and potentially changing their tactics aimed at heavily populated urban centers. but most important, of course, of which use the capital key is we've heard reports of explosions on tuesday morning in and around the city. and as you said, that this enormous convoy to the north, north west, stretching some 40 miles, these of troops, artillery support, and logistics units, readying to move on the capital, making very, very, very slow progress. i
