when russia first invaded ukraine to on a _ ukraine. when russia first and the north here in the east end from the south. now, some of the fiercest fighting has been here on the southern front. russian forces originally caved —— came out of crimea —— crimea, a territory they seized in 2014. we have heard more in recent days about some of the defences being prepared at the port of odesa, a historic city, a strategically important city, a strategically important city, western official described today today is a prime military objective for moscow. there has been concern that perhaps russia could launch an amphibious assault from some of the vessels it's got here in the sea, although a lot of experts to speak to would say they would also need to support that by coming in from land, which has led to some of the fighting we have seen appear in this area. if we turn now over here to mariupol, that is another source of some pretty intense fighting in recent days and weeks. if you can see the strategic importance of that territory because it would allow russia t

it's not just russia and ukraine well africa for the first time first . d ukraine they will put something in europe, by the way, they won't put it. not because we don't have it, because they cut it off themselves. and one more invoice, but something will happen to the eu agriculture itself without fertilizers. right now there is a crisis in italy, they don't have nitrogen fertilizers. i don’t understand what they will plant now, without this, the lake ’s yield will be incredibly low, such as it has not been for a long time. and it will be in italy yes. well, the reaction of greece is not surprising because it is a close orthodox country and a plus. she lived in 2010 when she was already going through the default stage, when it was refinanced with old german equipment and faced a severe economic crisis. but the reaction in germany , litmus tests will be valid after march 31, when a simple technical solution is to sell euros on the stock exchange. uh, so far it seems very difficult for germany, and if they refuse this, the household will not suffer, but the

the call-up company starts in russia on april 1, first things first pavel krasnov more than half of the hundred helicopters that the ukrainian army had before the start of the special operation 123 out of 152 combat aircraft and most of the anti-aircraft missile systems illustrates the conclusions about the course of the operation, the ukrainian air force and air defense were practically destroyed by the armed forces. ukraine has suffered significant damage. in general, the main task of the first stage of the operation was completed. the potential of the ukrainian armed forces, which makes it possible to focus the main attention and main efforts on achieving the main goal of liberating the donbass from all formations of the ground and airborne assault forces of ukraine, serious losses, both in people and in equipment, in fact, the only way to make up for the lack of weapons for ukraine today these are deliveries from the west, it is the barons who promise to respond adequately. in the event that nato fulfills the promise of a number of countries to provide kiev with aircraft and air def

first such payments since russia invaded ukraine. it has about 600 billion dollars of foreign currency reserves, but they cannot access money held abroad. if it's unable to meet its obligation, it will mark the first default since 1998 and first default on foreign debt since the 1917 revolution. glob credit agencies warned russia's default was imminent, but now even ratings are off the table. the eu has banned credit companies from raiding russia and russian companies. the aim is to further isolate the country and make it more difficult to borrow money. smp, moody's and fitch would risk losing their licenses to operate in the eu. the latest sanctions package was announced today as the u.s. and u.k. targeted individuals in russia and belarus. it includes a ban on any transactions from state owned firms and a prohibition on new investments in the energy sector, input -- imports of steel, export of luxury goods. the u.s. is looking to downgrade russia's trade status which would pave the way for heavy tariffs on imports. >> that is the strongest package of sanctions ever adopted by the european union and its history. we call that a decision. you will have 600 russian people targeted, you will have a new been on some polo -- repor

literally in 2014, russia first invaded ukraine and first invaded eastern ukraine and donbas and luhanskerms of how putin rules. what we cover back then and what we all have been covering, andson, you included since then, is a move from what we all called kind of authoritarian to what is increasingly dictatorial. the war in ukraine is clearly overseen by one man and one man only. there is very little if any room for dissent within his circle, let alone society. and i think some of the trends that we saw in 2014 of how we talked about ukraine, how he saw kyiv and its rulers, and how he really belittled the idea of ukraine and identity, that's only accelerated. >> the past few days have seen the departure of a prominent putin adviser, as well as reports that russia's defense minister hasn't been seen publicly with putin since the early days of the invasion. how much do you read into that? >> it's always dangerous to be a kremlin olgs. even when you're just a journalist, you're not a kremlin-ologist. he's not part of the inner circle, yet he is one of the most senior persons who has left ru

first from the 2000s. russia began to fight. first for your freedom, but because it requires a change in the entire geopolitical situation. a very interesting front was called, but it is not the same as biden describes it as democracy against autocracy, but a completely different colonial powers against the world anti-colonial movement. by the way, look at the map, who announced the sanctions, and who did not announce them? this is a very interesting map to continue this discussion, see. you can still see canada america old europe and australia and japan which was colonized by the americans as a result of the second world war. what europe in general, therefore, the world of the hegemon, with its colonies, is fighting to own the whole world, but the whole world does not agree, and russia, i repeat, once again became the leader of this movement, they do not agree to be colonies. and in response, we have a monstrous russophobia. they again said sergey viktorovich lavrov what struck me at the current stage is this unprecedented surge. i even said the cave explosion, without exaggeration, cave russophobia, which has woken up in almost all western states, and which the leaders of these states actively encourage and feed. i know that there are, uh, sane figures in the eu countries who see, uh, all the perniciousness of incitement of this kind, and russophobia, which reminds that 80 years ago, even a little more in europe, there was already a similar attitude towards a certain nationality and i remind you what it is ended but that obsession e, which swept almost all the countries of europe and in relation to the entire russian culture, the art of education. and just to russian citizens. as soon as they speak their language on the streets of many countries europe, you know, uh, such things happen? this, of course, struck me, because russophobia opened up this cave inside, which turns out to be lived for a very long time, because it’s impossible to awaken such feelings just like that in one day, which means they are carefully hidden. you know, it seems to me very difficult, but to understand about a western person, where is the ukrainian, and where is the russian, but now it has become, as it were, simpler, but i remember my childhood very well. here is the ninety-fourth year, the ninety-fifth, i came to germany and i i always tried to explain where i came from, yes, i said there that, well, i’m in ukraine yes, in donetsk yes , ukraine was then, and i said that here i am in ukraine, a. where is it there? well, somewhere near russia, there is an important point about germany, but in my opinion, that's one time, but there are statistics that there are about 200 crimes. this is the official official german statistics, and the german interior ministry announced that more than 200 crimes are committed per week against russians and russian-speakers on a national ethnic basis. moments are different. it may being just insults sometimes comes to hand butt. generally. there seems to be a certain gradation, but it is huge. figure i would like to draw attention to the thesis that zelensky said quite recently. he said the following thing. he said that we will restore ukraine a after the war within the framework of a large european family. and so, wait, can i speak and here is me, and here i’ll explain from the thesis why i have such a coming-out now, the fact is that until 2014 i practically lived in two countries. and i lived in the czech republic, i had a residence permit and lived in donetsk and on the territory of ukraine, and that's when the question of choice came up. yes, when the war began in donetsk in the fourteenth year. i realized that i could not leave my homeland. there, for the sake of even some kind of conditional there, i don’t know the warm, the west, and so on. it was important for me to be close to my city with my people, because then it seemed to me that now it seems so that i just attach it. yes, i can’t leave, and many people left, but what’s the thing, and the view of live. gives for 2 years. but there you get it several times, then you can get citizenship. i had a residence permit for about 6 years until 2014 . i spent a lot of time in prague contributing. you know, i want to tell you that neither a russian nor a ukrainian person will ever be part of a european family. i saw europe from the inside , volodya is standing here, which will also confirm, for sure. this is my thesis. we are completely different. well, no, there is nothing similar in us, there is no common denominator in us. but there is a common denominator between russian and ukrainian i have and will try it now. say it like that. how tall is what part of the ukrainian there, 10% or 15%, well, taking into account the history of the soviet union, when yes, how would it all be moved, and how would they create families, and so on and so forth, but here i am for sure. i just want to get sharp again. no , it's like, the czech republic is not central. that's not tough europe yes, with which we have no, nothing in common. it seems to be, when it is closer to us, the czech republic, poland, and yet, all the same, these are completely different cultures. it's absolutely there absolutely different, therefore, to build ukraine within the framework of a large european one. families, probably, can, if for example, ukrainians, but cut out and resettle some here, but conditional these europeans and force them to settle in these territories. this is how you can search. this is what they still have to learn about themselves europeans. they will have to learn about themselves that there is nothing in common between a czech and a portuguese, between a portuguese and a pole, between a pole and a greek, and between a greek and a british or a german. this is what they need to understand because when the myth about certain universal human values ​​was built, they are pan-european. by the way, can anyone ever name these very values? i have never heard it, but everyone is united by this ideological hoop. there are some values ​​there. yes, they are now being blurred, that this is where it starts in many respects , i don’t agree, but i don’t want to waste time now to oppose you, because i believe that we are different in our unity and united in our difference. that's about it, you know, i have a huge number of people are friends who are more russians and there are more ukrainians than we can sometimes see our fellow citizens here when they really take off their own skin and start talking so they sing along that in the hope that permanent residence there will turn out different things and in common. we have a lot, really a lot. i know compassionate people. i know honestly, but the conversation is not about that. now dmitry absolutely rightly said that the europeans will have to realize a completely different thing, who they are? because it's great to sit on gladiator fights and watch there like a chariot or there 400 years later, there 1,000 years later formula 1 will be extinguished. and when they start shooting somewhere near your house somewhere in the donbass, they are not soaring, they were not soaring at all. and now here's a fresh nose, just to be sent, there 15 minutes ago, another stabbing by two russian speakers, five ukrainian speakers. uh, the berlin metro line, that is, uh, has come to the house, europeans now have a different understanding, of course, they should think about it. firstough, but culturally i will say to be quiet. i wanted to solve your problems my refrigerator my house my autobahn my gelding or beha this is my happiness. what did you come to me? you can wash my car for me, by the way, a cleaner costs three times less than the minimum wage. by the way, you are beautiful housewives, you can save on a powerful device on a washing machine, and also on your wife and mistress at the same time in bed, by the way, and this way, by the way, this will always be. metro, but that doesn't mean it's dominated by government policy. i am the mentality. i can talk a lot about me other disturbing me that at the level of public policy. they opened what could not be opened; they called for public executions; russians have the right, by the way, also to life. and this is before the first dead. i'll look, that is, really, i also feel and getting back the connection is not so simple, because it's not that the ukrainians are brutal or there they have an emotional component

first. the first is that russia's security is a priority. in all these conversations from a point of view.you interfere with the security of russia and you are not negotiable, are you subject to destruction answer, yes? you are subject to destruction, but that's all that's it, tactfully now the negotiations. and tell me, please, all together. and how will we strategically survive in the future.

first time the two leaders have spoken since november. obviously the first time since the russia invasion of ukraine. the chinese summary came out first. in it, they said that xi jinping made the case that they did not want to see an invasion of ukraine and they did not think the countries conflict should be settled on the battlefield. they did not mention russia by name and did not publicly and have not publicly criticized russia or denounce it for the invasion. on the u.s. side, we got the statement several hours later and they said that joe biden came out strongly and he said there will be implications and consequences for china if they were to take direct support of russia such as selling aircraft or military equipment to them for that invasion. also made the case that president biden -- president biden made the case that the u.s. has taken a number of steps including sanctions to try to stop the invasion in the first place. taylor: how do you think about the significance of these talks given the heightened geopolitical risk we are already in? this was our relationship that was already pretty strained. >> that's right, these ties ha

just russia for the truth the news that they were waiting for the first step to compromise it is important the outcome of today is connected with the negotiations between russia and ukraine for the firste since the start of the special operation the kiev authorities agreed to the fulfillment of russian conditions first of all agreed to the non-bloc status of ukraine a ban on the deployment of foreign wars of bases and conducting exercises without coordination with russia and although this is not final. as a result, we can say that there was a breakthrough at the talks in turkey. what is the essence of the agreement which should lead to peace and mutual understanding carefully studied by anton vernitsky? and the head of russia, the final of the negotiations, vladimir medinsky, leaves the doors of the dolmabahce palace and looks for journalists through the eyes of 3 hours. before. he promised to sum up today's results. let's see, they asked for a divorce. then i’ll wait, i’ll study there and unite everything together. i tell everyone at once everything, well, the ukrainian delegation. for some reason, having split into two parts, one leaves the place of negotiations in one direction, an

first glimpses of russia's occupation. after two weeks, kherson is the first, and only major city, to fall to russian forces. last week, its residents were proudly protesting against russian troops. but, that is all changed. >> not only do they blockade us from food, and medicine, and basic necessities, but also, they are prepared to imprison those who disagree, and those who protest. >> and going to the ukrainian military, there is one that local residents else, is the appearance of russia's national guard. this paramilitary force, created in 2016, answering directly to president putin. they are mostly deployed in russia as riot police. now, they are in kherson. suppressing dissent, the same way they do when russia. in this video of a protest, russia's version of a police riot. looking around for social media, they're looking for their apartments, merrick of the kherson said. they're even looking for the people who were fighting against russians in 2014. the city is strangled. the mayor says they have about a week of food left. >> peace talks between russia, and ukraine, broke down, without any promises of peace fire, or protected evacuation corridors with civilians. they were in every sense, a failure. they lasted 90 minutes. today was day 15. with no diplomatic events. what will day 16 bring? joining us live from lviv, nbc news, cal perry. cal, what are you telling us about the breakdown in peace talks today? >> hearing from the ukrainian foreign minister, and the post press conference, it is lavrov, the foreign minister of russia, even having the power to negotiate. he said he wasn't even authorized to discuss anything in particular. so, virtually, was a waste of time. one thing that did happen as the director general of the iaea there, unusual for the director of the iaea to shop at peace talks, but he did so, out of concern for what's happening at chernobyl. we understand, for the russian ministry of defense, to open a corridor to allow ukrainian engineers getting to chernobyl, to restore power to the site, while the iaea says there's no danger right now, they are worried in the future. let's touch briefly on the city of kharkiv, because we are seeing there, what we saw play out in marion poll. a bbc news crew, getting to the center of the city today, so, we have a video where we're seeing not only russian soldiers laying in the streets dead, but also, a number of civilians. that city, now under bombardment, no power, no heat, and it's a humanitarian catastrophe. both the red cross, and doctors without borders, and they are unable to get to mostly any of these cities, and their conditions are deteriorating. >> cal, thank you for your coverage, thank you to you and your team, please stay safe or you are. cal perry, live, in lviv, tonight. since the start of the invasion, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, has literally begged the united states, and nato, to enforce a no fly zone over his country. more recently, and come out to supply his country with fighter jets. so far, those requests have been denied. this week, they sent two patriot surface to air missile batteries. not to, ukraine poland, to protect nato's eastern flank. those are weapons that the ukrainian president would, desperately, love to see inside of his own country. instead, for now, the u.s. and western allies, sending ukraine thousands of anti-tank javelins, and both of which are used to tremendous effect. by ukrainian soldiers, who are on the frontlines. but, as russia ramps up its attacks on civilian targets, like hospitals, as we showed you, in schools, pressure is growing on the united states to close the gap between what ukraine wants, and the military hardware that nato allies are willing to provide. joining us now, live, from ukraine, is andre. he is the former ukrainian minister of defense. he is the cofounder, and chairman, of the security think tank, center for defense strategies. thank you for being with us. you and i talked earlier to this weekend, we first got news that this polish exchange of airplanes would not happen. i want you to help me understand. it has been years since ukraine wanted more lethal weaponry from the west. it has not been forthcoming until recently. so, let's happened to the skies over ukraine. they do have the air force, and are there fights going on to ukrainian air force pilots, and russian air force pilots? >> yes, of course. there has been some fights were there were quite successful for ukraine. ukraine has tens of thousands of aircrafts downed, including transport outs, and also fighter jets, and helicopters, and so on. overall capability, air defense capability, if ukrainian forces. not enough to counter all attacks across the country. so, it does need an enhancement. that is what our president is talking about, over and over again. so far, it is not a success. they do want to see it as soon as possible. >> the u.s. defense department said two things. two deals with poland, and to move their jets into germa

rocking the city of lviv and western ukraine as russia says first stage of its invasion of ukraine is complete afl this as president biden visits poland in firstopean trip since war began with the ukraine people saying russia's putin cannot remain in power and white house later walking back those remarks insisting the u.s. has not seek regime change in russia. meanwhile volodymr zelenskyy remains defiant as he says more than 16,000 russian troops have been killed so far in ukraine. as russia's full scale invasion enters its second month, right now ukrainian forces are engaged in fighting in the strategic city in southern ukraine and one of the first cities to fall to russian forces but in astonishing turn of events troops have now gun to retake half of that city. now, the u.k. defense ministry says russia may need to call and reserve in war to bolster forces after sustaining heavy losses over the past four weeks. while u.n. numbers show 3.7 million refugees fled ukraine, most going into neighboring countries of poland hungary and czech republic, but we start tonight with a latest from lviv and our jonathon hunt rorging there on the ground. jon

on russia, you told me last year that you were unfamiliar with the senate report that alleged that the first son, or a company linked to the first son received $3.5 million from the richst woman in russia. reporting indicates president biden had a din we are the same woman in georgetown in 2015. she's not been sanctioned yet by the u.s. government. how is president biden navigating conflicts of interest when it comes to sanctions people who have done business with his family? and can you explain what the $3.5 million is for. jen: i have no confirmation that that is true. i have nothing to say. he has continued to sanction oligarchs more than we have ever sanctioned in the past. >> i have a question about -- jen: i think we're moving on. we have to get some more people. reporter: my question about the conflict of interest when it comes to china is last year the first son's attorney said he divested from a chinese investment fund owned by chinese state-owned entities. we have no word about who bought out his stake, how much money changed hands. jen: he's a private citizen, he doesn't work for the government. i point you -- i think

russia recently banned all-american news. guest: let me take your second one first. that is called the first amendment. we all hear people say things we do not agree with all the time but i will fight to the death for the protection of the first amendment and our right to free speech i think is really important. with that, i want to say it is also important for us to arm ourselves with facts and correct information. if i ever hear any propaganda like that, i will be turning the radio down. i hope you do too. and i hope it is entirely uneconomic in those stations pumping out false information. i hope they all go bankrupt. you make a very good point on the redline. are we properly sending a message or are we sending a forceful enough message to vladimir putin that we will not tolerate, the global community will not tolerate this type of behavior and aggression? i think it was a mistake for the united states to entirely take off the table military action, whether that is sending drones, aircraft, or others. it is better to make him wonder if we are willing to do it. i am not going back on the comment i ma
