Rumbling, amen. essentially saying, all we have to hear or fear, is fear itself. it turns out theres a lot more to fear than fear itself. i think that that is gradually dining on the population. they are wondering what to do, they are looking to the government for guidance. the government in kyiv, which is now essentially under bombardment. >> matt bradley live for us in kharkiv in eastern ukraine, stick around for us. were gonna touch base with you throughout the early morning. back home, presi...

In terms of whether one really wants to stop that flow from taking place, and, obviously, if you get the russians out of swift, then that flow stops, because they wont get paid, and thats a big, big issue which i dont think the europeans are quite ready to move to. so many world leaders, like the us presidentjoe biden, say their preference is for different sanctions, because of the hit to other countries economies of banning russia from swift. katie prescott, bbc news. a reminder of our main sto...

Week, i think theres some, we assume theres grumbling maybe going too far, but the level of resistance even coming from the russian population is a good sign. i am actually surprised for a moment that putin has not tried to shut down the internet and these western news sources because he is losing the information battle as well. >> yeah. and russians will eventually see and learn if they are not already of the losses here. let me ask you this before we go, because the russian president put his n...

To their survival. also were seeing russian aircraft banned. eu, canada, other countries in the days ahead. a full sense of why the effect has been so dramatic. the ruble just cratering over the course of the last couple of days. obviously, increasingly isolated from the world economy. russia had its lowest day on the stock market on friday. today its closed. weve seen the lines in moscow of people trying to get their money out. thats expected to only increase as the sanctions are fully implemen...

Side, a lot of heavy gunfire. i can only presume that is a russian helicopter that has come in to attack the ukrainian forces that have dug in on this side. that would explain those explosions. it has gone quiet now, that may be ominous, i dont know. we were hearing just before that quite a lot of shelling whizzing over our heads. what the russian forces would now have to do, if they have successfully stopped the ukrainians on this side is begin to move over that bridge. we havent seen that yet,...

Crisis and the war thats been going on here for eight years. you heard artillery. you would hear gunfire, grenades, mortars, things of that nature. but what we have been hearing, rumbling across the skies for the last five to ten minutes, is something of a very different nature. and i think thats borne out when you look at the build-up on the russian side and you see the amount of weaponry and hardware and troops. this is clearly an operation on a much larger scale than anything ukraine has witn...

Sirens? >> closest missile strike here is 12 miles, so have not heard anything. there is some distant rumbling, certainly nothing close to where we are right now, sandra. one other story i meant to say earlier, i spoke to a young woman just before coming on air and asked how she is dealing with the invasion. not only terrified, she cannot sleep. she says every hour she wakes up, puts the phone to her face to collect news and see how family members are doing. the russians are not trying to invade...

Grumbling war, if you like. bear in mind when you talk occupation theres something else that goes along with that. if the russians occupy ukraine, they have to start feeding the people. thats part -- that is part of an occupying pows duties. now, feeding say 20 or 30 million people in your newly occupied area would be a monumental battle, and as you said the russians have had a lot of trouble simply just supplying shells and fuel to their own soldiers. their own solevers have been going hungry. ...

Meetings with nato, they are being union, countries beyond the g7. and we see that support not only continue, security support, humanitarian support, but thats support will increase. and as for the pressure of russia, not only is it unprecedented, not only is it producing very, very concrete results and russia, but that pressure to will not only continue, it will grow until this war is more choice is brought to an end. >> now, the stars had their nobles, and the soviet premiers had their apparat...

Enough, he could well do that. that is really what is terrifying. he could not only drive the people out of ukraine, destroy a productive european country in the process, but he could leave nothing left in large areas. and thats just a devastating prospect. were seeing that, were seeing it in some cities, were not seeing it across the country, in large part, certainly not in the capital, kyiv. but its early days. we will have to see where this goes. we are barely two weeks into this conflict. jo...
