and the european union represented at this meeting and then the other way around in the afternoon when it'll be the european union meeting and non members of the european union like the u. s. and the u. k. and the nato sector general, they meet ab attending that meeting. i think the idea is to look at what they've done so far and see if there's anything more that they can do. clearly they've gone further, i think than many of the ministers thought they would at the start of this conflict in terms of sanctions. and i think they'll be looking at what are the measures they can take, but you're not going to see these foreign ministers here at nato doing what the ukranian government would want. and that's to actively support the ukrainians, perhaps with a no fly zone, a no fly zone would need to be enforced by nato aircraft. we've seen how that works in libya. we saw how it worked with kosovo. they will, they would have to be those nato aircraft, potentially shooting down russian aircraft. then you have a war. ready involving nato and russia. and of course the u. s. is a, is a, is a member, the biggest member of nato. you then effectively have a world war and world war 3. so that is somethi

president zalinski insist, every effort will be made to ensure safety evacuation and the delivery of age and like the u. s. and p u k. germany is a top diplomat rejects an immediate ban on energy imports from russia, saying it might ground the whole country to a halt. that's reco gas prices already have a quick thing effect on european households. ah, it was not the international. my name's policy. clear and wherever you are in the world. welcome to the program. but 1st, let's have a look at the latest major development on the situation in ukraine. ukrainian authorities, claim humanity and cultural have been open to ensure that they can back to ation of civilian. because he's fired on these routes at the head of the dentist republic, one nation that's trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as russians, military gains, access to speak with the documents. apparently showing the kid planned a major offensive on the break to wait eastern regions. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is pulling into ukraine's harcourt region now under russia's control and europe. the largest nuclear power plant, also controlled by russian f

and that will give the authorities more investigative powers and more punitive powers. you are, as we mentioned, the u. k. and basset, or to the u. s. for many years. you were the u. k. some vassar to the you when there is an open meeting of the security council going on right now in just a few minutes ago. we heard the russian ambassador to the un effectively saying that it's ukrainians, attacking their owner is civilians. what do you make of that? and what do you make of the situation that the u. n. is now when, when the aggressor is a permanent member of the security council with a veto and willing to take the 1st point of view. it's bad to know it's all for the owner that the russian and dish rep europeans security to the point where they in bay, a sovereign an independent country and they signed up to ukraine's independence. i want to stress that they are signatories to something called the british press. memorandum from 994 along with u. k, a u. s. that makes clear ukraine will be independent, though, as i say bad enough, that they go in the salt ukraine in european security in this way. and then they lie about it. and really

presidents olympians, every effort will be made to ensure safety evacuation and the delivery of aid and like the u. s. and u. k. germany's top diplomat projects and immediate ban on energy import from russia, saying my crown the whole country to hope that is waco. gas prices already have a crippling effect on european household with you watching. not international. my name's policy and wherever you are joining us from. welcome to the program. at 1st, let's have a look at the latest major developments on the situation in ukraine, ukrainian forties claim 16 mediterranean car doors have been opened to ensure a safe evacuation of civilian with a ceasefire on these route. but the head of the public war nationalists are still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as rush as military gains, access to secret documents. apparently showing kids planned a major offensive on the break away eastern regions. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is pulling into ukraine's hock of region. now under russia's control, and europe's largest nuclear power plant, also controlled by russian forces, is continuing its work. despite attem

the u. s. administration reacted differently. they disclosed the information that they had about this plan of this war this was new and this allowed the u. s. and its allies, the u. k. and some other nato countries to supply ukraine with weapons. and that was very very important for ukraine because it is it's those weapons that ukraine received in a couple of weeks before the war from the west that enabled ukraine to stand firm without those weapons, i'm sure russia would have seized a much bigger territory of ukraine by now. so i think the past for the coming days and weeks is to continue in that direction. and i want to take the weapons for ukraine. exactly. and i want to pick up on that point in just a moment. it's become commonplace to say that vladimir putin underestimated the west, but the reverse is also true. long is the list of political leaders say that vladimir putin underestimated the west, but the reverse who clung to the belief that putin would act rationally and avoid dragging russia and ukraine into a ruinous war and joe biden was amongst them. when us president joe biden and vladimir putin shook hands in geneva last june the russian president, he s

you can share and discuss on d, w, africa's facebook page, and other social media platforms. crime fighters, tune in now. ah ah, the u. s. and u. k. announce new sanctions against russian. oligarchs, with the hopes of upping the pressure on vladimir putin and his inner circle, will look at the names that stand out, confiscating those big ticket assets. especially yachts is not always smooth sailing. just ask law enforcement in germany and could sanctions get even tighter. some country say it's time to target rushes, oil and gas exports, but not all allies agree. welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardsley in berlin. the u. s. is an out. sanctions on an array of wealthy russians with close ties to vladimir putin government. 8 individuals face full blocking sanctions, while an additional 19 are subject to these restrictions. u. s. has also created a new task force designed to identify and seize the assets of those and other russian elite sanctioned earlier. president joe biden said the u. s. would come after their quote, ill gotten gains over and here's how whitehouse spokeswoman jen. saki described washington's goal. so we looked at

and the delivery of age. and unlike the u. s. and u. k. germany topic diplomat rejects the immediate ban on energy in court from russia, saying it might ground the whole country to hold that as we called gas prices. we do have a cooking effect on european households with you watching international. my name's policy here and wherever you are joining us from. welcome to the program. but 1st, let's have a look at the latest major development on the situation in ukraine. ukrainian authorities claim 6 humanitarian cover. doors have been open to ensure safe evacuation of civilians with a sci fi on these routes. at the head of the next republic warned nationalists are still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as russia's military gains, access to secret documents, apparently showing here that planned a major offensive on the breakaway eastern region. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is putting into ukraine's how coverage and now under russia's control and europe's largest nuclear power plant, also controlled by russian forces, is continuing
