warsaw's overwhelmed — we have more than 300,000 ukrainians in warsaw alone, and over 600,000 passed through my city, a city of two million. there are no refugees on the streets of polish cities because they're in our homes. people simply opened their hearts and opened their homes to our ukrainian friends. since the war began, zofia has been co—ordinating housing for refugees. her parents have opened up their home to a ukrainian family. it's a mix of polish and russian because i don't speak russian but i am trying to learn. they've been staying with my parents for two weeks and a half. they're from kharkiv, so kind of one of the worst places you can come from. there are less and less housing opportunities and more and more people coming, and also more and more people coming who don't know what's next. it's impossible to find apartments for larger families these days, which are affordable for ukrainians. and, yeah, they have no idea what to do here, where to send their children to school, what work they can do, you know? but ukrainians are very much like poles, and since we're so cl

>>> i am michael smerconish in warsaw. you know our secretary of state, kissinger he says ukraine needs to see land in russia. if that's what it takes to see peace. what is your reaction on that? >> dr. kissinger is a great man but i disagree with this. if he be confronted for his annexation rallying into the donbas, maybe we would not have this war now. he needs to be defeated in the donbas otherwise we'll find him in a few year's time on the border. this should be given in private because miss zelenskyy also has rivals and it is his people who are being raped and kidnapped and deported and murdered. it is very difficult to make such deal in a democratic country. >> does this end by negotiations or must it take the outright defeat of vladimir putin about peace. >> remember, vladimir putin wants all of ukraine. he does not believe ukraine is a separate nation. he exterminates ukrainian culture and elites. i don't see the russian red line and the ukrainian red line meets at any point. it would be good for putin to lose so t

but from germany, i thought the warsaw was cut off from direct supplies from russia. po lynn's refusal to pay in group with a welcome. you're watching the weekly hey, on the international. the latest headlines along with the roundup of the stories, the shapes, the weight, and the dorm bus to see as mario paul, dozens of civilians have been evacuated from the premises of the blockaded as of stone. factory this weekend, according to russia's military, which controls the area. thanks to the initiative of president putin. 80 civilians including women and children who are held by ukranian nationalists, have been rescued from the territory of the czar style plant in mary u. paul. units of the russian armed forces and the militia of the dentist peoples republic opened a humanitarian corridor for the safe evacuation of civilians and implemented a ceasefire. and these are the latest pictures from the scene russian. let forces have been transporting the civilians to a nearby village where they are provided with food accommodation and medical care. those who then want to travel to areas controlle

it's all because the 2 countries refuse to pay in roubles and warsaw seems pretty optimistic about it. brussels has also assured us that the country's neighbors are picking up the slack. today member states met in the gas coordination group. poland and bulgaria updated us on the situation. both poland and bulgaria and not receiving gas from their you neighbors . it's true, just after russia closed its taps, germany's gas flow to pull into increased by 5 times. looks like they didn't really need russian gas after all right? not so fast. germany, by over half of its natural gas from russia. those supplies then travel through the em, all pipeline, which also crosses through poland. now to provide war, saw what the gas it needs. berlin is reversed flowing, that same gas along the same pipeline at a higher price. it should be noted that according to the available data, there is a physical reverse of gas from germany to poland, and apparently to ukraine in the amount of 3 to 5000000 cubic meters per day. so the only thing different here really is that warsaw has to buy russian gas at a prem

so the only thing different here really is that warsaw has to buy russian gas at a premium to save face. and that's no small energy bill, just for warsaw to say it's stuck to moscow. russia used to supply poland with half of the countries total consumption. but with poland now buying russian gas through a 3rd party, warsaw seems to think it's diversified, bullish homes and the economy unsecure for the supply of gas. we have the necessary reserves and sources of supply that protect our security. for years, we have effectively become independent. russia, a real trailblazing strategy, poland established there. so, i mean, you countries might try to do the same while others try to pick up the slack. but one thing's for sure. the main source of europe's natural gas will remain the same . russia, this is a very cynical game being played on the ordinary population of europe on behalf of lead to want war with russia at any, at any cost. nobody has shown how you're compensate for the loss of rush and gas. not only will they lose gas, but you know, the get there will, they will pay for will be mu

you're both living in warsaw. what's that like? poland and the polish people are just amazing. and i really lack words for expressing my gratitude to what they've done for us. sometimes when i walk around warsaw now, i have a feeling that i'm home and i'm in kyiv because there are so many ukrainians on the streets. like, every second person is from ukraine. finland and sweden have been staunchly neutralfor a long time. finland since the end of the second world war. sweden for 200 years. yet they've now given up their neutrality and applied tojoin nato because they are afraid that russia might do to them what it did to ukraine. in finland, a campaign started by a couple of computer geeks galvanised opinion in favour ofjoining nato. finland's border with russia is 1300 kilometres long. oksana antonenko, a correspondent for the bbc russian service, has been travelling the full length of the border talking to people. expansion of nato was always perceived as a threat in russia. but right after finland and sweden said that we are going tojoin nato, russia changed its line. finland a

nato expansion never came up under gorbachev, not even after the warsaw pact collapsed. the problem is a gorbachev .14 contradicts gorbachev 1990 which shows the power of historical research and original sources. third and more briefly, the 1997 controversy. the soviet union collapses and then by the mid to late '90s the question is now arisen under u.s. president bill clinton of nato moving into central and eastern europe. and as that question becomes close to being a reality, it becomes apparent that there is a profound disagreement between moscow and washington about the final settlement over germany. now, in a point of unity both of them agree that the final settlement is only about germany. they agree absolutely on that. the problem is that they disagree on the consequences of that reality. for yeltsin it means death information to move article font eastward across the cold war line was only for eastern germany. it should not go anywhere else. for the west it means that the movement of article v across the 1989 line with restrictions only applies to germany. there's
