who are eligible, the most vulnerable and they will be referred there. don t ask me how that works, who decides who is vulnerable, when bear in mind everyone has made these long difficult journeys but certainly people were bussed from calais to the surrounding areas here, and we imagine they will be going to the center at some point today but there is a growing frustration the length of time all of this is happening and obviously people have to go to paris and now waiting, it is difficult, people who have been arriving over the last few days, we spoke to someone yesterday, and he had made the journey from the slovakia border, so going by drain, slew slovakia, austria, germany, france and he can t remember how many trains he s taken and thought it would be easy to get to the u.k. and realized it wasn t and made it to paris by turning up there and he said to me and i think the key point that everyone is making, i understand the rules, he said, kay, but why is it taking so long? it should
and to president zelenskyy, i would say to him, so courageously, i would like to say to him, it is very important to divide the lukashenko regime and the russian people, the russian people are on the side of free ukraine, and also we understand the fate of ukraine and fate of us are deeply connected. and we want to keep on fighting against the war. how much do you see in belarus, do you see where you are in a position to be able to return and make a difference? no, i will be able to return to belarus when the regime will be destroyed because of course, i will be in the prison as soon as i cross the border, but i know that there are people who are supporting changes in our country, who want new elections, and lukashenko loses trust of
of ukrainians. we are seeing it every day. i saw it myself yesterday. remember, millions of people have fled this country and a lot of it has happened on the old soviet trains across the border to a place like poland and yesterday i boarded the train and i was expecting it to be quiet and what we found, it was full of fighting spirit, and a lot of it was women, i have to say, and we met a woman called marcia, who s husband and 6-year-old son are about 800 miles from here. she s got no chance of getting to them but she wanted to come back into ukraine to volunteer for the war effort and i also spoke to a lady, who was a teacher and a painter, and she left ukraine a month ago and heading back in, her country is now invaded, she said she is not scared of vladimir putin, or of russia or anyone where else and
arms, the role that the west is playing is provide them with the best weaponry that we can so that they can achieve their aims and we are supporting them in every way we can. this is not the time for people to be going there, and more importantly, as ukrainians have made clear, once you cross the border with the expectations to fight, you are in it for food. so people who think they can go there, do a couple of week, take some selfies, get some instagram shots and then come home, that is not the way the ukrainians are viewing, to go to fight for them, british people should not be doing it. we re seeing on reuters news agency a moment, added to the u.k. sanctions list, so that is huge news, of course, the russian oligarch, he has been in the u.k. for two decades, has
they are preparing for a fight. because frankly, so many have told us, they have no choice. and alex, we know that there are talks between the ukrainians and the russians, foreign minister in turkey, as we speak and we re expecting a news conference from the russian foreign minister any time now, actually, so you will forgive me if we have to break away. but we wonder where you are, how hopeful they are about what might happen here? not much hope at all. not even in the president s office. they don t think anything, it is incredible to think that several rounds of these talks already, and there were several rounds, during the shelling of civilians coming out of a number of different cities, and you are hearing at mariupol, but we saw it happening on the northwest border of kyiv. civilians coming under attack. we saw it, we heard it, we filmed it. we spoke to the witnesses who
