and what will ukraine to -- and what will ukraine do? will it work to liberate the boss and crimea -- dumb boss -- don bass and crimea? mr. yermak: especially when you are fighting this war against one of the biggest armies in the world. i have the following position, let's talk about specific things against this war, adopted after this war. every minute, every hour, then you still need a lot of things to win. [indiscernible] the chief of the army is doing his job and given the opportunity for everyone in the world to make their opinions and decisions. i keep the same addition. john: we have a question from ira strauss, "would this war have been over already if the west had? provided for batch weapons before it started? -- provided all of the right weapons? how soon would it be over if we provided all of the necessary weapons now?" mr. yermak: i don't understand the question. can you repeat it. john: the question is -- you provided a long list of weapons you think crane needs -- you think ukraine needs. if we had provided all of those th

the official said china wanted to see a peaceful settlement in ukraine. ukraine's human rights monitor has accused russian forces of using phosphorus bombs, and an attack on a city in a don. this region, phosphorus weapons are heavily restricted by international law. the allegations have not been verified. the mayor of the southern ukrainian city of the neighbourhood num has reportedly been kidnapped by russian forces. it's the 2nd case of a mayor allegedly being seized. and the head of the international monetary fund has warned that russia may default on its foreign debt, but says it would not trigger a global financial crisis. hundreds of thousands of people across europe have rallied against russia's invasion of ukraine and the german capital berlin. 60000 of them attended a peace march, organized by trade unions. they gathered near the brandenburg gate the symbol of a divided germany during the cold war. ah leon pack streets in berlin as thousands marched for peace and ukraine on fines and banners. they demanded solidarity but the ukrainian people gotcha politics though the alleged

simply, heroes of ukraine. why don't we use their names, the names of the heroes that today unite ukraine? to the people of ukraine, to your friends in canada and around the world, you, volodymyr zelensky, are one of those heroes. on behalf of all parliamentarians, thank you for having addressed the people of canada and for showing us the true meaning of courage, freedom, and patriotism. may we prove worthy of the friendship between our people and our countries. slava ukraine. merci. merci. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. i'd like to begin by first and foremost stating on behalf of my conservative caucus our complete admiration and respect for the people and the nation of ukraine. and to president zelensky, let me express to you how much i admire your courage and your sacrificial leadership at this critical time in ukraine's history. the kind of leadership you are showing, sir, is very rare and it serves as an inspiration to all of us who are elected. you were the leader of ukraine fo

ukraine, sovereign ukraine, mostly russian speakers are hating this putin regime. i don't know what putin thinks what is the calculation, because he is living in a nightmare. he is living in a great illusion about ukraine. he doesn't understand anything about ukraine. and of course ukraine and society you see it in small towns and villages how they greet the russian occupiers. and it's unthinkable for us that, you know, we come back to any kind of totalitarian regime. ukrainian democratic traditions is very strong. it's going back to centuries, to 17th century, to 16th century, even back to middle ages. ukrainian political identity, political culture has always been focused on anti-tyrannical values. and that's what makes it so different from the russian political culture. >> right. we're almost out of time, but i wanted to ask you this. and of course the fact is there was no reason for this invasion. putin claimed that his concern is nato expansion. but i know you said it's not about nato expansion. it's about russian expansion. what did you mean by that? >> i mea

a lot of belarusian people came to ukraine to defend ukraine on the side of ukrainian army, and they understand that one day they will be ready to defend belarus as well. this is the precise moment may be, the scenario in the situation. you know, it's difficult to predict something. >> and do you have an estimate of how many belarusian exiles or volunteers i guess we could call them are fighting in ukraine on the side of ukrainian forces? and what are they reporting as a take part in the conflict? >> there are different groups of belarusians, but it may be about five, 700t people. some of them are in kyiv and in regions where difficult fights areul going on. a lot of people are training at the moment in ukraine, because our people are without any war experience and they just wish to fight on the side of ukrainian people and they have to train. some more and more volunteers want to join army. and have to say that ordinary belarusians who once led belarus because of oppression state in ukraine and help and other different ways like with medics, food, clothes. they help ukrainian people

russia invaded ukraine without justification. russian forces known circle multiply creating cities after having destroyed much of the critical infrastructure leaving people without water, without electricity, without access to food and medicine. and russia's relentless bombardment including civilians trying to flee prevents people from safely escaping the hellish conditions they have created. the criminals proposal to great him entering corridors leading to russia and belarus are absurd. it is offensive to suggest they should seek refuge in the very government that demonstrates its disregard for their lives. the civilians who were able to escape yesterday through others core doors another city in ukraine, shows this is possible but must be allowed to happen on a much broader scale. it is not only in europe or the united states and uk are working together to address the threats to international peace and security. we also share great concern about iran's nuclear advances. together we discussed our work to achieve a mutual complian

ukraine. we will not be part of the conflict. nato will not be on the conflict. nato will not be on the ground with forces in ukraine and will not be in the airspace of ukraine but we support the ukrainian government and we support them with our allies, and international support. our allies, and international su--ort. ~ our allies, and international su ort. ~ . our allies, and international su--ort. ~ ., our allies, and international su--ort. . ., support. we are hoping you would discuss to take _ support. we are hoping you would discuss to take further _ support. we are hoping you would discuss to take further action - discuss to take further action against russia?— discuss to take further action auainst russia? ~' �* ., ., against russia? think we're going to evaluate, really, _ against russia? think we're going to evaluate, really, the _ against russia? think we're going to evaluate, really, the change - against russia? think we're going to evaluate, really, the change that - evaluate,

he did not respond to that. ukraine is strong, ukraine is fighting ukraine. made russian plan russian initial plans fail. we're ready to seek, balanced diplomatic solutions to put an end to this war. but we will not surrender . our chief international editor, richard walker has been following this day of diplomacy for us, richard to very different messages we're hearing from the ukrainian or russian foreign ministers there. yeah, absolutely. i mean, the tile style, the tone couldn't be more different but, but ultimately they're both kind of telling the same story which is that nothing really came out of these talks. there was a lot of anticipation about these talks in the last few days. the fact that the happening at all, or just over 2 weeks into this war being taken by many is an optimistic sign that maybe some kind of progress could be taken. also some signs in the messaging on both sides that they could be some opening up a potential political space where you could potentially find scope for an agreement . but what we've heard today is essentially that no progress is being made ev

this is not what they're going to get. ukraine is strong, ukraine is fighting. we're ready to seek, balanced diplomatic solutions to put an end to this war. but we will not surrender russian foreign minister, sir. gale of rav quickly demonstrated just how far part the sides remain. even on the basic facts. we look railing in the fog, we didn't attack ukrainian. however, we just explained to ukraine repeatedly that a situation posed direct the security threat to the russian federation of i see, scuse, girls never of also said maternity hospital in that a you pull that was bombed on wednesday was empty of patients and occupied by far right. militia members, just hours later, however rushes ministry defense denied the attack that happened at all, claiming it was staged. but with russian efforts to press on, keep continuing to run into heavy resistance. many fear that moscow will increase its indiscriminate, bombardments and d. w. correspondingly connelly joined us now from cave. nick, we seen the pictures of finding in caves, suburbs, what is the latest your hearin

the city of denise pro in east in ukraine. a new front in rushes, war emergency services said at least 3 missiles hit civilian targets here, including the shoe factory for ukraine and other sign the russia is deliberately targeting civilians. much more we see more destruction of civilian infrastructure. merger of ukrainians by a terrorist state. the russian federation, there's always another person who for the rest russia also launched attacks on looks. can yvonne oh frank ifs. 2 cities in western ukraine far from the main battle zones? the kremlin unilaterally announced humanitarian corridors in places including mario paul harkins, sion of eve and sumi, the 1st residence of sumi who managed to flee by one of the corridors, arrived in the western city of review, or a chevy dealer and then liberally gilson. my lord, i've seen plain play over us and bomb our street several times. it was horrible. i took the kids and hid no only so i didn't see that by he blessed him. yeah. i said i, they bombed our streets. our buildings are hom

no, who is not going to attack ukraine? 2014, ukraine is attacked. so, we could have prevented it if we accepted and gave membership action plan to ukraine and georgia in 2008. we could have prevented it if we do not allow putin to get away with these two wars in 2008 and 2014. now, we reap what we sow and that's why we have to be in greater solidarity because it's partly our miscancellations and our past errors. all right. ambassador? i think that this war could have been prevented, and if europe could have acted like it did during recent weeks a decade ago, if they could see what we have seen in ukraine and eastern partners, how we see the russian threat. if they could mobilise and act as they act now, but much, much earlier, we could have prevented this war. fabrice, final point? i think it is clear that putin does not respect weakness but he will stop at strength and basically, over the past 10, 20 years, we have shown far too much weakness and too many shades of grey and it's time to be much more radical and clear about where we stand. all right

when russia invaded ukraine. the number of people forced to live like this, offers an insight into the enormous scope of this crisis. and still they keep coming bust in from the book away from the war, but now inland. we're here at one of the many reception centers set up on the ukraine, poland border where people have been telling us how happy and relieved they are to finally be inside poland to have crossed over the border from ukraine. that many people have also been telling us of the indignities that they have suffered on the ukrainian side of the border. people from countries in asia, africa and the middle east were living and working in ukraine when the war began. weapons of war do not discriminate. so every one ran for their lives, like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, you were already lost people, the good to get on entity. those always laid out. so no further put their people 1st and us. i'll say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them i

be no modern ukraine. and i just wonder whether you feel there are any people inside the nation—state of ukraine today, that is ethnic russian people, who would identify with putin's version of history. i think you can find these people. i mean, i am one of probably 7—8 million of ethnic russians, and, i mean, most of the ethnic russians are not interested in politics, but they love it in ukraine and they consider themselves ukrainian citizens. but there are between 10—15% of russian speakers who always vote for the pro—russian political parties, and they are always organised and we understand who finances them. but so, i mean, there is 10—15% of population which is either nostalgic about soviet youth or soviet times orjust considers their origin, russian origin, is enough reason to love putin and to be loyal to russia secretly or openly. well, what are your feelings, mr kurkov, when you see putin on your tv screen saying that he is determined to save russians inside ukraine from, and i'm using h

one of ukraine's most valuable art collections. harkey, ukraine's 2nd biggest city, a centre of industry and culture in places now hardly recognizable. amid the destruction, the hearty of art museum still standing. it's windows and doors were shattered. when russian forces bombed a nearby target, the museums director found her office in ruins. who he is, was russia is a very civilized country, you know. and right now it's the culture dooley, high culture yoke of them. when we see this, we understand how high that culture is. typically, the goal now is to get as much of the collection as possible into storage. and many of the artworks they want to save from the russians are in fact russian. oh, if they are doing an thing blue pearl, it's just an irony of hate that we should be saving russian artists acting little paintings by russian artists from their own nation. i don't, i think it's just barbaric. lot of us woman like this work by russian master eelie, a rape in one of 25000 artworks in the museums collection. with no windows intact, it's impossible to control the temperature or the hu

so this will not be a boost to rush as war in, in ukraine. if anything, it will also be hampered by a very difficult terrain because the borderlands between ukraine and, and taylor was a very marshy, they're very hard to operate in the for, for military. so i don't think this will be a boost in military terms, like what it will do, of course, at 1st it will lead to also a full responsibility for the looper. shanker, receiver for the war and war crimes in, in ukraine. right. and it will certainly also permanently our social relationships between bellows and ukrainian society. ok, you know, for the director for central and eastern europe at the german marshall fund. thanks so much for sharing your analysis with us today. thank you. a russian court has found opposition, figure alexis, of all the guilty on charges of large scale fraud. he could face 13 more years in prison on top of the 2 and a half year sentence. he is already serving russian. prosecutors are now seeking to move in a ball need to a maximum security penal colony. he was arrested

while it's nearly a month now, since russia unleashed an unprovoked war on ukraine, and today ukraine is calling on russia to allow civilians to escape the southern ports of mario bolt. the local council says russian forces who surrounded the city, have reduced it to ashes with constant balmy president. vladimir zalesky says 800000 civilians are trapped without food, water, or medication. mrs. lansky says the russian forces seized a humanitarian convoy, attempting to bring relief to mario balls besieged residence. ah. these are missiles fired by russia, from sea, and from land against ukraine. these images were released by russia's defense ministry. as were these in which russia claims to have hit a ukrainian anti aircraft missile system. but shells aren't only falling on military targets in keys. this home was hit by a russian strike. fire fighters worked to put out the blaze that followed remove it was a strike on the roof. i walked out of the house to smoke a cigarette and when i went back inside, it happened the ceiling collapse of a book. in mud you pull, the city under siege, hi

ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of a russian forces should they approach. so a us official as senior, as deputy secretary of state is saying that some kind of facilities do exist and the washing ministry of defense says that there were or possible still are quite a few biological labs that are either us run or us funded. and according to the russian military, according to the documents that they have obtained as a result of that russian military offensive and ukraine scientist there worked on some extremely dangerous pathogens. these are very dangerous substances. we're talking about diseases such as cholera plague, or anthrax ad list is actually much longer than that. apparently. as the russian ministry of defense claims the staff there at these biological labord to raise received orders from officials and ukraine to destroy either these pathogens or evidence of possible work on the development of

zaporizhzhia in south—eastern ukraine. it's one of the largest plants in the world, and it alone provides a quarter of ukraine's electricity. the defunct chernobyl site, which exploded in 1986, is also under russian control. so, how worried should the world be about russia's unprecedented take over of these sites? let's speak to associate professor tilman ruff from the university of melbourne. he is also co—president for the international physicians for the prevention of nuclear war, winning a nobel peace prize 1985. he joins us from melbourne. thank you so much forjoining us on newsday. from what you understand, what is the latest situation at the plant at zaporizhzhia? i4541431111 what is the latest situation at the plant at zaporizhzhia?— plant at zaporizhzhia? well the zaporizhzhia — plant at zaporizhzhia? well the zaporizhzhia plant _ plant at zaporizhzhia? well the zaporizhzhia plant is _ plant at zaporizhzhia? well the zaporizhzhia plant is under - plant at zaporizhzhia? well the - zaporizhzhia plant is under

talks between ukraine and russia continue, and ukraine's president hints at what might form part of any future negotiated settlement. translation: ukraine is not a member of nato. we have heard for years that the doors were open, but we also heard that we could notjoin. it's a truth and it must be recognised. meanwhile, russia's foreign minister sets out some of moscow's demands. translation: the neutral military status of ukraine, security guarantees for all participants, the demilitarisation of ukraine so that no threats to the russian federation ever come from its territory. as this war intensifies, the diplomacy is intensifying, too, but it has to be said that for all the talk of cautious optimism, possible compromise at the ukrainian—russian negotiating table, there is still no strong signal from moscow, from president putin, that this war is going to end any time soon. the country's now endured three long weeks of war, and for those here in the capital, the battle is getting closer. for the third consecutive morning, residential blocks bear the brunt of continued shelling from t

russia and ukraine. later on, wednesday, i had of it to president zalinski, gave an interview to american media from he's bunker, saying that he is ready to make widen. we're putting, to remind you, the leaders of the to country, we're not physically taking part in the 1st a part of a peace negotiations. so blood mors, lensky, and admin potent were not on the ground. they didn't meet personally, but maybe this time it's gonna be different. but also vladimir zalinski said that the rest, some conditions that russia should accept. he is war. he has to say you have to speak. first of all, everybody has to stop fighting and to go back to that point from where it began 56 days ago. at the same time, the russian officials say mosca does not see that ukraine is anyhow, ready, and willing to find a balance solution to this crisis. let's wait and see what the piece talks. the 2nd round of p stokes will bring and in the guns can and done yet sca republics, residents are enduring, intense battles between the ukraini

zone over ukraine to protect ukraine from russian aggression from the skies. any chance of that happening? that's right. relations with russia to address your 1st points are at their lowest level that i've seen in decades. and there did used to be russian diplomats just across the street here from the new nato headquarters they have left in, in, in anger after several of their ranks were declared spies by nato and, and belgium revoked their diplomatic credentials as, as for no fly zone. this is something that allies are likely to discuss, simply because it is the fervent plea of ukraine, but every diplomat and secretary general stilton burg, on the record, has said as well as, as national leaders, that this is not really a likelihood for nato. nobody has an appetite for shooting down russian planes or having any nato planes shot down. it's also pointed out that any planes ukraine may be flying in its own defense, would also then be grounded in a no fly zone. this is just not really a realistic possibility, but it's easy to see why ukraine is calling for it und

that means individuals from other countries who were working in ukraine or studying in ukraine, legally, who've also had to flee the country as a result of the war. however, the directive assets been in that it will only be a political ukrainians. now there's also a warning that won't be you is seen an inflexible round 1000000 refugees in just one week alone. that many more could be on their way. you shouldn't be naive, the commissioner said, millions of refugees will create challenges. however, she believe that the e was in a much better position since the migration courses in 2015 to ensure that those protections would be upheld. that least ukrainian citizens with the you showing a united stance in its efforts to help you cleaning refugees. protests have been health rights. europe. buns around the world. russia's actions in berlin, 5000 students, their se, outside the finished 9, calling for peace. while in the bows gary in capitals of fear, people celebrated its national day holding ukrainian flags. demonstrations also took place in london with those rally incurring anti war banners

frank: so this is how ukraine is looking. they are advancing slower than they planned, but making important gains in the south here, they've used crimea as a springboard to push north, taking their first major city. they are also trying to overrun the port city of marriott, where conditions are said to be desperate. they're looking to link up with forces in the east to try to encircle the ukrainian army. russia now controls much of the black sea. in kharkiv, ukraine's second-largest city, there's been intense russian shelling and mounting civilian casualties. another northern city over here is also being shelled. it's suffering widespread destruction. but the big price for president putin remains the capital, kyiv. if his forces can take this, then they will be hoping resistance will crumble and the government there will collapse. so what about the massive russian armored column that's now just a few miles north of kyiv? british defense officials say it's got bogged down with breakdowns, congestion, and some ukrainian resista

, a withdrawal all troops, ukraine's territorial integrity and the sovereignty of ukraine must be respected. he said, let's listen in to what else. russia's foreign minister told to al jazeera earlier today, mcneish skew technologies, you put them. so you, ukraine has the capabilities and technology to manufacturer and nuclear weapons. will mister putin talked about this? that's why within this military operation, we put into consideration the experience we've learned over the last decade since the collapse of the soviet union. the mission is clear to disarm ukraine and not deploy or manufacture any weapons that threaten russia. security. we walk back then to our daughter jibari has live with us and mosque, or you are telling us a little bit more about the about that interview that mr. love roof gave to our, our colleagues there in moscow earlier today. yes, the russian foreign minister reiterated his country's position, and he talked about how they cannot allow, as you to an for ukraine to have offensive weapons which threatened russia, security survey lover of also said that the idea that

ukraine. arrest and rocket has had the regional government building in mich alive. at least 9 people were killed and 22 wounded. the southern port city has been under heavy assaults for weeks. well, dozens of russian diplomats are being expelled from belgium, ireland, down the netherlands. 42 embassy staff are accused of spying and threatening security and all 3 countries. nigeria is army chief, has ordered soldiers to find the gunman who attacked the passenger train around a 1000 people were on board. they were traveling from the capital boucher to kaduna in the north witness to say some were killed, injured or kidnapped by the attackers known locally as bandits. because the airport was also attacked a few days ago. border officials in uganda say thousands of refugees across the northeastern democratic republic of congo. it follows an attack there by the m $23.00 rebel groups. the ugandan army says there will be no restrictions for people seeing the violence. meanwhile, 7 people have died aft

javelins, stingers for transfer into ukraine. could you tell our viewers who've not been able to see that about this weapons transfer process and you mentioned a moment ago you're hoping to accelerate it even more. tell us about the ways in which it might be accelerated, additional weapons or categories of weapons you're providing that might be on the way. >> there's really a remarkable story to tell right here about what poland is doing. i've mentioned the fact that they're taking in thousands of refugees in real-time and finding homes for these folks after leaving ukraine but beyond what they're doing with the refugees, poland is playing an indispensable role in helping us coordinate the aid that folks are trying to get into ukraine but they're not the only country.there are a number of nato allies having up and offering to provide assistance. some countries are providing flights that enable aid to be moved from one ally to another to getcloser to ukraine's border. some allies have offered to play a coordinating role, to make l

ukraine has a real shot at defeating this russian aggression. but that can only happen if it has the weapons and resources that it desperately needs. i recently traveled to poland and germany with a bipartisan group of colleagues to learn more about what ukraine needs and the challenges our nato allies are up against. over the course of three days, we met with american military leaders and diplomats as well as members of the 82nd airborne. we've spoken with our nato partners supporting both of thee military and humanitarian needs of ukraine and had the opportunity to talk to some of the refugees themselves. the primary message we heard, the consistent message that we heard was we need more and we needed faster. more stingers, more javelins, more air defense, more lethal aid. and they've read the reiterated the need for aircraft like a mix. statements are important but they do nothing to help the ukrainian forces to defeat this russian aggression. it was an incredibly powerful and enlightening experience to hear directly from the men and women on

it has responded to a complaint brought up by ukraine, which is limited in scope, in that ukraine complained to the court that russia has accused of genocide in, in, in, in lou hands can, tanya can, on the basis of that has justified its invasion in c, ukraine, the court not made a complete determination of that. what the court has said to day is that while it still looking into the case, it is making a provisional ruling and that provisional ruling based on the evidence of what we're seeing happening in ukraine right now. in fact, one of the judges was reading out that ruling said, the court has seen the pictures. we've seen the images, we know what's going on in ukraine. and on the basis of that is we are asking russia to suspend what it cause a special military operation are in ukraine. this is legally binding under international law. it's not clear, reflect, russia is going to comply. it's unlikely, given the fact that russia wouldn't even present itself to make oral arguments in the hearing that was held 2 weeks ago. but it is effect at the un stock court saying to russia, you need to s

ukraine which has not stopped. president zelensky spent the morning on zoom with congress pleading for aid. he wants a no-fly zone. he wants a ban on russian oil. we are joined by lucas tomlinson live in ukraine with the latest. it seems quiet by you, but everyone else not so much. >> that right. president zelensky spoke to president biden a short time ago. he made an urgent address to his nation and here is what he said. >> our people, the ukrainians are not retreating. we are not giving up. they shout to the sock piers, go home like a russian ship. push them away from our territory. block their way. >> this gunship was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile. u.s. officials say if you want a no-fly zone give the ukrainians stingers. the white house won't allow a no-fly zone because they say it would mean going to war with vush with nuclear warheads. it's not libya or iraq. it's not been a good day for the russian air force. there are reports that five jets were shot down. they have to fly at a lower altitude due to

and we are supporting ukraine because ukraine is right. and we cannot accept that there would be the result, which is not saving to the ukrainian side. it's up to ukraine to decide on that. missy: you say it's up to ukraine, mr. president. but at the same time, there is a possibility the agreement in ukraine, if there is a negotiated settlement between president zelensky and president putin, between russia and ukraine, could impact european security in a significant way. for example, if there was a scenario where putin believes that his military offensive had led him to advance his political objectives, sort of neutralize ukraine as a threat, that that would encourage him to take further steps in georgia, in moldova or a different state, is -- even a nato's state, is that something you're worried about as well? the outcome of the ukraine conflict could actually lead to greater likelihood of war between nato and russia in the future? president levits: we know that it is not only an attack to ukraine. it is an attack to democratic europe, to
