Of provoking conflict. it was president putins justification for deploying troops to eastern ukraine. we see that kyiv�*s leadership constantly public says, it does not want to abide by the minsk set of measures to resolve the conflict. they are not interested in peaceful solutions, on the country they are trying to set up a blitzkrieg in donbas. for weeks, russia has blamed the escalating conflict on ukraine. russian state tv claimed ukraine is shelling the republics in donbas. ukraine says i...

Peacekeepers, requesting russian insistence, theres a whole smoke and mirrors thing going on the you and i know that is not true. whos the fooling with this? >> its a great question, its intended for the russian people. he was addressing the russian nation tonight. he wasnt addressing the -- he got a little ahead of the -- i watched all three interventions the other day. first the security council meeting, i can listen to russian and understand at. and then they said lets just like you reported....

Donetsk. if you watched president putin on tv yesterday you could have got than impression. he said ukraine is not a real country its simply a creation of the soviet union back in the day. he said the biggest mistake that was made was ever letting ukraine go free in the first place with the break up of the soviet union. here is putin to give the republics write to succeed. first glance is incomprehensible. some kind of madness. >> as for ukraines president zelenskyy there are real concerns about...

To be in a posture where they seem to be ready to go at any point in time. you dont see military on the back. you see large columns of troop carriers with soldiers also in them. so certainly from what we can see on the ground here is theres a lot of russian army here. theyre covering a very large area. and they certainly are extremely close to the border area, not just of the separatists republics but generally of areas in ukraine that are actually controlled by ukrainian sources as well. >> it ...

We will pull away from that, making, i think, the same statement in german now. she spoke of the sanctions that the eu has agreed against russia and they include banning trade between the eu and the donbas region. that is those two breakaway republics that president putin has ordered troops into. she also spoke of banning russias ability to raise capital on the eu financial markets. she also praised germanys decision to hold their gas pipeline by which russia was due to export gas to germany. if...

Is a great patriotic reaction as it has been back in 2014 when russia annexed crimea. i suppose some people are still quite puzzled about the decision to give this independence to the soap or dobey so—called peoples republics will mean to russia and what will happen in terms of sanctions. —— independence to these so—called peoples republics. this one was even more strict and severe sanctions could be even more grave. it is being claimed that vladimir putin is ignoring the advice of some ...

Putin has a real problem here. his first told his people that there is no way hes going to invade ukraine. now he has invaded ukraine without any kind of provocation whatsoever. i think russians are going to have something to think about in coming days. >> well russians see this as an invasion of ukraine? our reporting so far rip reports that there is no russian movement beyond where they already were in certain separatist areas of ukraine. >> i think what mr. putin is trying to do, at least at ...

Thursday, to be very exact, at 5:00 a.m. many could not believe that the ukrainian capital was targeted for the first time since 1941. and this reality, well, touched on back in 2014 with some parts of donetsk regions, still temporary occupied, we thought ok, if putin is trying to subscribe to this initiative and go further with recognizing so-called republics, maybe that would be a battlefield, but no, he went way beyond that, and there is no, lets say there is no safe place anymore in ukraine....

That ukraine was about to invade and launch a war against russia, that ukraine was prepared to use chemical weapons, that ukraine committed a genocide without any evidence. we saw flagrant violations of international law in attempting to unilaterally create two new so-called republics on sovereign ukrainian territory. and at the very moment that the united nations security council is meeting to stand up for ukraine sovereignty, to stave off invasion, putin declared his war. within moments, momen...

Warnings similar to this from the chuts havent materialized in any attack. what is different now is the tension that really exists in this country tonight with vladimir putin, the russian president, having already recognized the rebel republics in the east of the country. and it comes as, and this may or may not be a coincidence. i suspect it is not. volodymyr zelenskyy, the ukrainian president, has imposed a state of emergency from, actually, now, from this hour. thats what is taking place now ...
