i think western ukraine is there next to western belarus, this is already as the situation develops.most part, that's enough. clearly, they believe that this is their territory. yes, as well as, in general, they want to attach it to themselves and well, let's be frank, but what attitude will ukrainians have towards western ukrainians polyakov i think only negatively. let's remember in general how the relations between the interdepartmental contradictions, which are somehow colored by bloody showdowns. they remain in the minds at the genetic level for everyone, it is pointless, then to persuade someone to put up. it may be only a temporary phenomenon. yes, i remind you that the territory of western ukraine became part of the polish state after the creation of the polish state, because the retribution of the russian empire and, well, actually after these moments of the civil war. e in most of the territory of the russian empire poles. in general, when joseph is present, who is in the war? here are the poles, this is one of the most nationalistic nations they love existed. it's a known

1939, while the soviet government presents a note to the polish government that western ukraine, western belarus should be part of the soviet union, this restoration of historical justice. the military campaign to return the lands lasted only 5 days. already on september 22, new border posts were dug in, and in mid-november, the territories officially became part of the soviet union, or rather , part of the ukrainian ussr . areas. that four or five regions were annexed in thirty-ninth year. this was the result of the secret molotov-ribbentrop pact, according to which the ussr and germany divided the lands of eastern europe and the baltics. the territory to the west of the dnieper was for a long time part of russia's neighbors, austria-hungary and poland, its population differed not only from the great russians, but also from the little russians until the seventeenth year in the police territories were not ukrainian. this is the illusion of the eighteenth year. they were just rusyn and there, uh, the majority was not in ukrainian, but in russian on the territory of the golitsa or galina at one ti

there were some reports of russian fighter jets flying around western belarus.was also -- could also come south. there are people who are afraid. there were some missile strikes about 15 miles from here which is not terribly close but at the same time military targets are ripe for strikes. but a lot of nervous people. i spoke to a young woman a few hours ago who said that she can't even sleep. every hour she was waking up looking at her mobile, checking text, hearing from family members, and just very nervous, very afraid. and a lot of people are wondering what to do next. >> i took a train from lviv to get here. it was very hard. there were many people. it was very scary. dangerous. physically and mentally. >> some of the students are also taking matters into their own hands and making molotov cocktails, making homemade bombs, even putting together large jugs which appeared to look like they were roadside bombs perhaps destroyed russian armor. just a lot has changed in short time. just a week ago here in this town that just walking around he would talk to peopl

three nations with the strongest diplomatic and military ties to the united states in this western allies. belarus, the former by all russian and soviet republic's argument to flee -- the most close with russia in the post cold war. about 70% of its population is russian speaking. it is directly north of ukraine. moldova, another one of ukraine's neighbors has had an on and off relationship with russia since independence. moscow currently approves of moldova's government because of its pro western leader. post soviet russia has also invaded and instigated conflict with armenia, azerbaijan, and georgia. and then, there are the five former soviet republics that we now call central asia, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, to get stan, turkmenistan, and uzbekistan. all of them maintained close ties to moscow. which leaves us with one more country, one more matter unresolved. that's the country 1000 feet to my left, ukraine. with a population of nearly 50 million people, it was the second most populous soviet republic, but disproportionately prosperous. it was called the bread basket of russia. it also had valuab

that there is a possibility of the second iron curtain between russia and western countries, and the question is where belarusisn't it quite plain that putin will use all military means necessary in belarus to ensure you are on his side of the curtain? of course, it could be his intention, but we always forget about people. country is notjust government, and it's notjust army, it's about people. and if people don't want to be on that side of the iron curtain, they will fight for it. and it will be a region of constant instability, of constant rallies, of constant uprising. will it really, though? because, again, you know better than me that putin's message in some of his speeches, some of his writings over the last few years has been all about the degree of historical, cultural, economic, and political ties between the slavic peoples of ukraine, belarus and russia. his message is that, actually, the people of belarus want to be brothers and sisters with the people of today's russia, and that that bond cannot be broken. are you saying he's wrong? look, of course we want to be brothers and sisters with russians

and nato officials believe belarus could soon join vladimir putin's forces. the westernhas already taken steps to join russia's invasion, although a u.s. defense official said the pentagon sees no indication that belarusian forces are preparing to move in. cnn's international correspondent fred is there. what have you been seeing about this counter offensive? >> reporter: there was a massive battle raging here throughout the course of the day. especially the northern outskirts. we had air raid sirens going off throughout the day and explosions that could be both heard and seen. and as i said, a lot of that concentrated on the northern outskirts of kyiv. specially north western outskirts. that's what you see now. that black smoke really engulfing that part of city with explosions going off at various times throughout the day. so it seemed to us as though there was a lot of fighting going on up there. it's very difficult for to us see because the ukrainian officials haven't really said anything about it yet today. whether or not it is a ukrainian counter offensive or wheth

probably not much more, and since then many of them have been living in tents on the western russian border and in belarusone year conscripts, their term of service is done in about two or three months. how motivated are they going to be, how aggressive are they going to be in the face of that short period of time left while they are watching many of their counterparts die in front of the ukrainian resistance? i think that's part of what's frustrating putin, the fact that his troops are not performing well. john gilbert there. this is bbc news, a reminder of the headlines: fighting is intensifying near the ukrainian capital of kyiv, where they're preparing for an assault, possibly within days. satellite imagery shows some of the damage in the besieged city of mariupol. the ukainian government says it was unable to evacuate citizens again, on saturday. president putin has held talks with the leaders of france and germany about the situation in ukraine. let's get more from our europe editor, katya adler. french and german officials said it is difficult, vladimir putin is not open to realistic conditions for

probably not much more, and since then many of them have been living in tents on the western russian border and in belarus the headlines: fighting is intensifying near the ukrainian capital of kyiv, where they are preparing for an assault, possibly within days. satellite imagery shows some of the damage in the city of mariupol. the ukainian government says it was unable to evacuate citizens again on saturday. president putin has held talks with the leaders of france and germany about the situation in ukraine. let's get more from our europe editor, katya adler. french and german officials said it is difficult, vladimir putin is not open to realistic conditions for a ceasefire, and the kremlin says they used the opportunity to complain about alleged human rights abuses by ukrainians on russian soldiers, so you could say, well, you know, what is the point of these conversations? what else went on in those 75 minutes? i mean, emmanuel macron has held about ten of these calls already since russia invaded ukraine. he's been criticised by some at home and abroad as being naive or arrogant or being played by mosc

probably not much more, and since then many of them have been living in tents on the western russian border and in belarus of service is done in about two or three months. how motivated are they going to be, how aggressive are they going to be in the face of that short period of time left while they are watching many of our counterparts die in front of the ukrainian resistance? think part of that is what is frustrating putin, the fact that his troops are not performing well.- that his troops are not performing well. that is an absolutely _ performing well. that is an absolutely fascinating - performing well. that is an i absolutely fascinating insight, both of the troops and the capabilities of the russian military, thank you for coming on and talking to us. john gilbert there, retired colonel. thank you. a group of top international violinists from 29 countries have collaborated on a video performance to raise money for people in ukraine. let's take a listen. well, that is beautiful, isn't it? earlier, my colleague lukwesa burak spoke to the violinist illia bondarenko in ukraine, who you saw playing at t

a lot of troops over ukraine inside belarus, the western part of russia. i thought, what if this is true, and i bought some buck wheat rice. and that's why we basically had some food because of this that i bought like two weeks before the war. >> so that may have been what saved you and your family. >> yeah, yeah. >> i want to show everyone a video you took in mariupol before you were able to get out a few days ago. you were inside a shelter while there was shelling outside. i'll play what you shared with us. ♪ >> what was that moment like? >> well, it was strangely like peaceful. it was -- it was like, well, like, it was shelling but we were listening to music and it was some connection to the previous life. >> artur, i appreciate your time. i'm so glad you're out but i'm so sorry for what you have endured and what so many you know are still enduring there. thank you. >> thank you. and i wanted to thank you for telling the truth to the world instead of, like, we had a bad example of russia which tells like lies from the television and it is good that you

were massive protests in the streets of belarus, there had been mass sanctions leveled at belarus from western now you're seeing him so beholden to vladimir putin. the two were not as close as they are right now, but clearly he's doing this for survival, brianna. >> he's going to pay all the same price economically as are his citizens as well. bianna, thank you so much for that. really appreciate it. >>> he calls russian crude blood oil. a top adviser to ukraine's president zelenskyy is going to join us live next. and fear just over ukraine's southwestern border. could moldova be putin's next target? (music throughout) there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every othemonth. cabenu helps keep me undetectable. it's twinjections, given by a healthcare provider . it's oneess thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medici

that more attention is attracted by foreign media , more will do, when it was in belarus, then, of course, the westernersant to go. well, and so on. here is the squat of the ambiguity of turkey's position. hmm, as for, yes, plus the negotiating diplomatic processes - this is also how the big game is going on, the big-big game is the military aspect of this game and the diplomat does not stop either. uh, never work. sometimes this happens in secret. in this case, publicly, with regard to those positions that were declared by the ukrainian side. ah, at this stage, without falling into any panic hysteria. i offered you and so i consider them, as really for the first time officially on paper, like paper. paper the declared official position in the negotiations e ukrainian side hmm although, i know she will not be distracted from this? well, the same one, well, it happens in the evening. yes, as often they have this first second. what is important, and these negotiations have moved into a certain plane of compromises on the ukrainian side, therefore, until now, despite their position. they stated. well, only

belarus. welcome and thank you for being on insight story. western leaders have been tilting unity in their response to russia, announcing new military aid to ukraine and new sanctions against moscow. will this be enough to deter president vladimir putin. >> well actually, i think results of this is very important meeting in brussels. my point is that even the growing up, the rapid increasing of the native forces on the borders with russia and the very much harsh economic sanctions would only speed up the card will of russian president vladimir putin. he already announced a very unexpected solution to pay in rubles for guest supplies to european countries. i think at the end of the day, and might be looking like a loose position. russia will reply with symmetric measures. folly: interesting. our ukrainian leaders, how are they viewing the s support from the west? does it go far enough? >> i would like to clarify. that sounds very odd when we are seeing an additional battle group. that is a huge exaggeration that putin did a lot in his speeches. it is

whether that's in western russia or belarus or crimea. most of it has moved in. it has not been without problems for the russians. they've had logistical issues. they've had sustainment issues. they've run out of fuel, fuel shortages. food shortages. it speaks to problems that have slowed down this advance as well as the very stiff ukrainian resistance they have encountered as they tried to move. you want to move an army of this size, you have to sustain it. and the russians have not. why they have made that mistake is a much more difficult question. whether it's because they really thought this would be over in a matter of days as vladimir putin seemed to think, or whether their leadership isn't that good when it comes to military planning of an operation this size. regardless, that's the reality we're stuck with. now they're learning from it. a senior defense official says they will figure this out. they will solve their logistical issues. they will solve their sustainment problems. they'll solve their fuel shortages and they'll be able to keep advancing. but s

belarus. so this western area of ukraine. is picking up as well. a lot of attention is being placed on kyiv. that's the capital . that's the big enchilada that russia is going for.as it was blasted again one shelling happened just a mile and a half f from the residents of president zolensky. another 12 storey building wasro destroyedye. yes. as you say, the bulk of r the russian forces remain still outside eight or nine miles outside, but they aree being dispersed, getting ready for the big kill in the port city of mariupol. a huge theater was that was being used as a shelter for civili and it was destroyed, including a lot of children. word on casualties there yet a hospital was commandeered as a russian shooting position and aid convoys once againd could notco get in. and in the city of churney, 10 people were killed while they were waiting on a bread line where a bomb dropped on all of this causing president zelenskyy, as you'venn been noting to speak to congress today via video link. his words we need you now. and also announced today president biden more additional military aid to the t

belarus today. back in russia citizens facing chaos as western sanctions intended to cripple the country's economy are already wreaking havoc nbc's raf sanchez on the ground in moskow. so what's it like there? >> reporter: we are seeing economic life for ordinary people in this country turned upside-down by these sanctions as the value of the ruble, the russian currency collapses prices are just skyrocketing, and that's on everything from car parts to toys to just groceries in the super market. they're looking to get out of the country, but that is not ams international airport, you look at the departures board, you are seeing just a sea of cancellations because north american and european airspace are both closed to russian aircraft right now we are expecting a second round of these peace talks to go ahead in belarus today i'll tell you the ukrainians are not optimistic that this will lead to a break through given that russian forces are besieging multiple cities as negotiators sit down at the table. but president zelenskyy has said he has no other choice but to at least try to enter into talks with

david: fertilizer from western europe, they have been cut off from belarus, but i think secession of violence is the first start. ukrainian farmers included, so you have to stop the war and then quickly provide them enough funding for seeds and the fertilizer. i think those steps could still be taken here in march. jonathan:jonathan: david malpass, thank you. valuable conversation, and a timely one, too. central bank is reacting out of europe. the governor in the governing council saying, "listing rates to zero in 2022 is important for policy." steve englander a standard chartered coming out with this, 50 basis point moves at the may and june meetings. just published moments ago. tom: i'm sorry i don't have it in front of me, but someone saying we can get the surprise of the ecb go along all -- ecb going along with the fed and raising rates. jonathan: they have a sequence to go through. they haven't got there yet. so that might be a story for later on this year. at the moment they are working on the lack of this. let's pour through the news together and reset. we have some talks this

belarus in the same boat, in fact, today belarusian tractors and other technological products. let her not be like that, maybe to be, you know, in appearance, brilliant, like some kind of western efficient, working agricultural machinery, fully belarusian components in the russian cooperation , agriculture of the republic of belarus, which will come here . this is also important for other important partners. in our post-soviet space , of course, it is kazakhstan and azerbaijan with these countries that need to be developed as much as possible, and all forms of partnership should be regular armenia yes , of course, a country of a member of the road accident, but in this case i singled out e. azerbaijan kazakhstan primarily based on their industrial and economic potential. this is very important. these are oil-producing countries that have significant opportunities for various formats of cooperation with the russian federation, being independent in the field of financial economic policy. and i am grateful, for example, to the fact that almost every day a rally is held in yerevan in support of the operation of the russian federation in ukraine, thousands of people come out z symbo

western and west central ukraine overnight. with the military reporting at least one missile was fired from neighboring belarus. that word comes after an adviser to president volodymyr zelenskyy said russia was stepping up missile strikes right across the country. he named several cities that were targeted sunday night including three to the west of the capital and kharkiv, as you can see there on your map to the east. the adviser tweeted that more missiles are pounding ukraine every day with russia, quote, carpet bombing the hard-hit city of course of mariupol. and these new attacks coming as president zelenskyy gave an interview to a group of independent russian journalists. russia has warned against broadcasting it. russia and ukraine are set for another round of talks in turkey. and ahead of that president zelenskyy says his country is now ready to accept mutual -- >> translator: effective security guarantees for our state are mandatory. our goal is obvious. peace and the restoration of normal life in our native state as soon as possible. >> meanwhile, ukrainian forces have pushed back the russian military

western city of zhytomyr. a cruise missile fired from belarus. with a new round of peace talks in istanbul, president zelenskyy is ready to accept nonnuclear status under certain conditions. >> translator: our priorities in the negotiations are known. ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity are beyond doubt. effective security guarantees for our state are mandatory. our goals are obvious. peace and restoration of our normal life in our native state as soon as possible. >> we are seeing new evidence of the scope of the destruction of ukraine. kharkiv is in ruins. ukrainian officials say russian forces are firing at a nuclear research facility in that city. >>> in mariupol, ukrainian officials claim 40,000 residents have been forcibly taken from the city into russian territory and placed in filtration camps. then in the western city of lviv or where berman is 50 miles from the poland border, explosions. a chief believes putin is seeking to split ukraine in two using north korea and south korea as his model. >>> this morning, ukraine is vowi

so when you're talking about moving forces out of belarus and putting them on the western or easterno attack next, that's about a 1400-mile move. that's going to be very difficult for the russians to do. >> general hertling, appreciate your very important insights. >>> up next -- a new move coming from president biden to ease gas prices. they were already spiking and, yes, russia's invasion of ukraine made things worse. this is the new world of work. each day looks different than the last. but whatever work becomes, the servicenow platform will make it just, flow. whether it's finding new ways to help you serve your customers, orchestrating a safe return to the office... wait. an office? what's an office? ...or solving a workplace challenge that's yet to come. wherever the new world of work takes your business, the world works with servicenow. hi, i'm lily from at&t. okay. no offense to your old phone but do you know that you can trade a galaxy in, any year any condition, for a brand-new shiny free samsung galaxy s22. oh so you just swap things out now. yeah and it turns out the new

belarus. but keith was insisting that they should go to the western part of ukraine, and this is where they couldn't agree, and also russia informed all international organizations about all itineraries and also non ceasefire. but today we hear from official representatives of danielle people's republic that humanitarian corridors did not work because to day on wednesday, only 28 civilians, including 2 children, were able to leave the city. that's of course not that amount that we expect while heartbreaking seems coming out of mario pole and the parts of dumbass that you're in maria phenomena. thanks for joining us and stay safe. now let's have a look at the latest major development on the situation in ukraine. ukrainian authorities claim 6 humanitarian car doors have been opened to ensure a safe evacuation of civilians with a ceasefire on these roots. at the head of the dentist republic was national. still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as russia military gains, access to secret documents, apparently showing the kid planned a major offensive on the breakaway eastern region. meanwhile,

say the ukrainians had agreed to this and they laid out routes that went to belarus and russia and not to the safety of western ukraine and in the last few minutes, we have heard from ukraine's vice prime minister that said this is completely unacceptable, we will not send our people to belarus or russia and they said they were informed of the cease-fire, they never agreed to the cease-fire, and the cease-fire is not unilateral, they need both sides to agree, and often that is brokered by a neutral party, like the icic. you mentioned over the weekend two cease-fires falling apart in mariupol, and the southeastern city bombarded by russia, for the last week. 450,000 people live in that city. about 200,000 were trying to get out this weekend they're without electricity and without heat and without water. we have not heard anything this morning to confirm that any cease-fire has been agreed to by the two sides. but i do think ukraine says that they have sent proposals to back, back to russia and those proposals from the same cities are going to bring civilians to the west. where we are right now, jonathan. >> so

the ukrainians feel it could happen, the belarus troops would come from the north and head to western ukraine, where we are now presumably, it would open another front, somebody everybody, ukrainians and rest of the world are watching closely, we don't have an answer whether the troops are going to join this fight, todd and carley. >> carley: they are saying, do i want to get involved in that. only time will tell. we'll check back in soon. to this, a nine-year-old little girl sucker punched outside the plaza total in new york city. we'll be talking to the hero doorman who stepped in until cops arrived, coming up. mahindra tractor. pound for pound, this one's still tougher... tough. tougher. tough. tougher. mahindra - the official tractor of tough and stewart-haas racing. i've got a race this weekend. i'll see you later. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol. why do nearly one million businesses choose stamps.com to mail and

western intelligence officials are watching closely for any signs belarus might engage and send troopss for russia but send its troops to the offensive in ukraine. they may be laying the groundwork to let russia position nuclear weapons on their territory. with me is svetlana with the exile belarusian opposition leader, the main candidate in the disputed 2020 election. it's very good to meet you virtually. you've been meeting with officials here in poland. can you shed any light to the nature of your talks in poland as to what might be going on in belarus? >> at every meeting i explain why belarus and regime are not the same. it's not the people who attacked ukraine, but the regime of lukashenko. i want to make sure that the voice of ordinary belarusian people is heard. the belarusians who fight for our freedom and support ukraine and at the same time, we are trying to make sure that belarus has a place on the european map. we don't want to be part of the russian empire or someone's influence. belarus shouldn't be a bargaining chip in talks about future power of the region, so i advoca

. >> at the border of belarus, they met to talk peace, but failed to make any progress. >> western sanctionsy. the ruble lost about way 5% of its value and trading -- 25% of its value. >> tech leaders are facing pressures to do more to sanction russia. we take a look at their influence around the world and what they are doing in the wake of russia's attack. >> youtube, facebook, twitter, apple, all feeling the pressure to do more and crackdown on

last hour and one overnight and that follows as you say russians hitting western targets including a town called lutsk near the belarus border. this is the safe haven. this is where everyone who is fleeing the violence in the east is trying to get to. and so many of the reports are going through here, and going into home, and we got new numbers from the u.n. hcr this morning, 2.5 million people have left the country but we have a number for the idps, internally displaced people, people who have left their home, that number is now 2 million. but that real number is likely much, much higher. i do want to take you east for a couple of the headlines this morning, as you already mentioned, that russian convoy outside of the capital city that we have been talking about so much about, 40 miles long, up until today, the understanding is that it has been about 15 miles outside of the capital, and well, now there is evidence that it is starting to disperse, and starting to move in towards the capital, according to the senior u.s. defense official, it could be now ten miles from the center of that city. and the other headline th

government of belarus is talking about getting involved in joining the fight with the russians, what would that mean for the ukrainian forces. >> that is a big concern especially in the westerne of the country. we are not too far south from the border between ukraine and belarus. there is a concern that the eruption forces as well as russian forces could go to the siding cut off the corridor which is a major conduit for military supplies. still waiting to see if that happens, the troops now are basically perched on the border. jon: also suggests vladimir putin understands his soldiers are not getting the job done on their own yes the calling reinforcements from his buddies and belarus. live in lviv ukraine. more than 2.3 million ukrainians have fled their homeland into neighboring countries to escape the russian invasion. that according to the united nations, two thirds of them have gone to poland. aishah hasnie is live in southeastern poland with the latest of the humanitarian crisis. >> good evening it is heartbreaking everywhere you look you see the tragedy unfolding right before your eyes here in a train station a large group of refugees were loaded onto buses to take to

western analysts and here in ukraine. military people really concerned if belarus joins the war, that may tim the balance of numbers and fire power and make kyiv vulnerable once again, pam. >> all right. we'll continue to look at that question. a new estimate about russian losses may help explain how ukrainians have been able to make these advances near kyiv. >> reporter: so these russian losses figures have come from nato officials. they are reflecting basically on the ukrainian claims of having killed some 14,000 to 15,000. that's the top end of the nato estimate. the lower end is about 7,000. and then there is a formula where you multiple by two or three, the numbers of killed to estimate the number of wounded and captured. that would take up to 30,000 or 40,000. if 30,000 or 40,000 russians have been taken off the battlefield as a result of putin's invasion, that's a total force of 190,000 gathered for the invasion. a lot of those people would be logistics troops. this would be a major blow indeed to the russians. they've already lost five generals. so there's some evidence that they are really getting hammered here and
