The reports of as many as thirty people dead in a fire in the port area dozens of injuries there as well the situation remains volatile and ideas today for the first time Ukrainian Ministry forces moved against pro russia militias in the east is his heels of yet two minutes the helicopter went down to as there were a number of casualties. We will be going online. The reason for not to tell as kiev moves to restore its control in the contested areas. There are questions about by elections later this month and of International Diplomacy can pull this country back from them in a village near donetsk residents blocked the path of Ukrainian Army tanks. He demanded the soldiers turned back can go home. He has launched a major operation to re gain control that separate is held areas. But so far the effort as bogged down in resistance and disarray since libby and the separatist militia prepared for an assault by the army. Its unclear how much of the City Government troops have captured separatists say so far the army has only managed to take a few streets on the citys outskirts. A self proclaimed mayor of the pianist told residents that the city was under attack. He called on women children and the elderly to stay at home. And for man to take up arms to protect the city. So she did very well in case they break through our results on the outskirts of this disease was trying to build a line of barricades on several parallel streets around the center was rekindled the attack resulted from that when you step up and wanted something simple decision is pending and fifty seven the aggressors will get through it. The rebels have been setting barricades on fire the smoke is meant to reduce visibility. Army helicopters two of which have been shot down. Loyal. Moscow has accused ukraine of breaking a diplomatic agreement to ease the crisis former criminals men Dimitri Prescott told russian state tv that the actions of the kiev government canceled out the geneva agreements and that russia did not expect even partial implementation of the event the conflict is spreading from the east into southern ukraine. As well as the wii on skin donetsk there were violent clashes in odessa. The city is mainly russian speaking. Its been relatively peaceful until now at least three people were killed there as pro kiev and progress and demonstrators clashed during a march in support of ukrainian unity several other people were injured. Still ive got to our reporter katie logan shes on the ground for us in Eastern Ukraine and netscape first up. Whats the situation on the roads into the sold out right now our ukrainian troops prepare to move into that city. But the risks that there could be a high level of civilian casualties. I think is going to be very difficult fold of the commandments of ants its pretty much sealed off but that all ukrainian manage the checkpoint this was as separatists checkpoints the ukraine domenici has caught the beans on one of the population to the barricades in the reds had to sit in front of the aisle but as the pegasus will be going in other posts if they carry into the town they would have an adjustable problem in the way to anybody she would think they will be twenty in the oven as it did to get the separatists are entrenched in the town hall with and lived in the elf ray hadley homes. Any qantas flights and a wooden bowl that sheds the disabled who sells but cool scent of old cynical fit properly since the fall of the ukrainian that she has been quite reluctant to imply active and people people in the diaper area so i think the amendment would appeal the qantas the nelson ally of the question is what will be credited to do next that in many on the outskirts the city. This is the child sydney but will come everyday we dont know that gets us follow up on that question you are you hearing anything about the training strategy right now our Ukrainian Military forces prepared for a long fight to re gain control. I was afraid i get comments if this seemed to find its two bucks and if coles see many casualties than the russians could cause argue that this is that telling tinted being that this is also critical periods the friendly rationing but he is the clay into a referendum on they eleven facts amount of days away now. This also the National President ial election on the twenty fifth of may. This is a crucial tie in to the ukrainian of thirty six yet to re a setback on the beach and if they fail to do said by this pace than they really do have a problem on their hands. She loved him for us and hes ukraine thanks very much. Well as those events unfolded jealous cause Langdon Applegate come back into their schools for more sanctions during talks in washington that brought the bomb them eccles line on ukraine is being closely watched in the us the former president ial candidate john mccain accusing berlin of being governed by an industrial complex. Its desperate to avoid sanctions the gym and johnson is meeting with the us president was shattered by the crisis in ukraine. I know that Mcewan Barack Obama called on russia to stop encouraging separatists in the form with a few republic or else face a more punitive sanctions. If in fact we see the disruptions and the stables eyes the stabilization continuing so severely that. It impedes elections on may twenty fifth we will not have any choice but to move forward with additional more severe sanctions. The two d does stress plays relationship between the us and gemini the tobacco did raise concerns about us spying activities and gemini months of this damage bilateral relations considerably. She did admit that the work of the Us Secret Services was necessary in the fight against terrorism. Then look at those miles on thursday but there are differences of the in between on one hand having Strong Security operations to ensure the safety of the Defence Department of the items on the other hand protecting preston freedoms and rights and i think that this initiative is based at its next president of the medicines but that isnt a mention of an agreement to us evidence on german soil something that many germans are the mom thing. Well our washington correspondent michael fun was watching a bad press conference he joins the staff was that the white has said. Max. How much all they are on the same page on this question of sanctions and we had added joe mckay has been extremely critical of them. Right the the president obama and tested her very much the same page. Actually that was probably the main goal that press conference the two places behind me. In the rose garden of the white house due to the unity unity displayed at the together and this and so both were in favor of going further with sanctions if there was no solution to this conflict although it was unclear when exactly they were ready to trigger those sanctions in the past it was on the american side at least if the russians to cross the borders with the troops in Eastern Ukraine they didnt say that today. I dont know if that means its a game changer or not but the chancellor especially stressed a lot but those are the things that are sections that are very important for example supporting the free elections that are planned in ukraine that was very important to her so all of that was the side but behind closed doors. Its still the same scenario that europeans have much more to lose in this day and the americans because their economic ties to russia that are much stronger. I spoke i know watching their source in washington thank you very much. Russia is already displaying plenty of economic muscle threatening to cut off gas supplies for ukraine a move that would cripple the industry and the fallout for europe to be serious well today ukraine and russia have been holding talks on the massive bill that kiev is struggling to pay Russian Energy minister of the sunday mail back with Cooking Health after fridays meeting with his ukrainian counterpart. Is there to find that the two countries are close to result in even unto death row. Russia has escalated the dispute. It said state controlled gazprom will stop supplying gas to ukraine in kiev dozens pre k kids they are free too the invoice is no paid by the thirty first of may castro may restrict the supply of gas to ukraine for a guaranteed to supply me the amount that is paid by the end of may russia says ukraine owes a two point five billion euros on god ukraines government says its ready to pay the bill but other lower price than the one moscow was demanding the prices russia acquainted you strength against the twenty fourteen would discriminate tree. The price is almost five hundred us dollars to one thousand cubic meat was all ready to type about. Russia and ukraine cant agree. Deliveries to europe could also be affected the eu has been trying to resolve the dispute the form of the policies of sharon goodwill today. They have indicated that they want to heat up the gas sector to turn it into a tool to politics. That is up to find solutions was obvious. I picked up. Still in negotiations and get over the eu holes in the meeting on energy between russia and ukraine in the coming weeks ok for some background hill scribbled on trial hes an economist at the institute for east European Studies at the nq the Free University of berlin. Good to have you with us mr fennell first of all lets take a step back and look at russia right now and its the big chip in this game. Economically the gas that is its gas supplies for germany for Eastern Europe what it be that easy for russia to simply turn off the gas to europe. When we would not be easy though it would be rather difficult russia is hard currency reserves. In less than five hundred million but has that collectively the corporate sector the Banking Sector and the state sector when in excess of seven hundred billion so long that bases its intended. Well in excess of two hundred million so it cannot afford it beyond russia can pretend that you can afford it. And god intended doing that. Waiting to see how frightened the worst react. Ok what about the possibility that russia will be selling its gas to china theres a lot of discussions of right now going on between beijing and moscow is a possibility thats a possibility but quantitative limits of negligible. Its the quantities i get too small to expand the quantities we would have to build a lot more pipelines and the soviet states not really in a bargaining chip at this point of time. Ok so mostly russian gas will keep on flowing for the time being listed as of the setback delicate ukraine were seeing a military action right now on the east of the country that smell that is its most economically important region is ukraine viable without the east of the country western ukraine is viable without the use of the of the country. On the east of the countrys also viable bought the food really good so annexed by the russians as the crimea has been. Then russia will have to make sure that used in ukraine gets russian wage levels which are way above ukrainian which was still in use in ukraine would not be viable anymore. Ok was when hearing a medley of all the questions would like to ask you wearing right now in washington that is a possibility of sector sanctions. Just a mac on brock obama talking about that. Are the possible could we see real sanctions economic sanctions from the west against rush o war with the eu all those up. Of where we could easily see that the question is how does russia react to whats happening so far. On the wiz has a lot of time actually theyre turning on this cruise slowly and see how the russian economy react so far received and russian zone rating the recession and that can easily be made worse. So on. Depending on the outcome of sanctions so far which were not so harsh really just a few few few result and in some frozen accounts. But the deal is already enough to have a strong effect. And the sectoral sanctions has to be have to be made more specific its quite clear yet what this means in practice and i think of. Especially the us have something in store youre okay with living parable from travel economists of the institute for east European Studies timberland. Thank you so very very much. Thank you right just a fool would he take a break in a state of todays economy latest developments in ukraine has been fighting in the south of the country in eighteen ct says he would answer which has until now avoid it being sucked into the finals on the reports of as many as thirty eight people dead in the fun and of course intensity and dozens of injuries to this situation many cyclists.
