The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues the escalation of tension. The Russian Foreign Minister has said that he sees an agreement as possible, but the de-escalation has not yet come and both continue to prepare for a possible conflict.
This is the case of one of the Ukrainian cities that borders Russia, in which they are teaching the elderly and children to handle weapons. Something that can be seen in the video above. They can barely lift the artifacts, but at their young age, the minors are learning to mount and carry weapons.
Also appearing on the scene is an elderly woman named Valentyna who she is a civilian volunteer and declares before the cameras that she will defend her “home, her city” and her “children”. In the pictures she is seen lying on the ground with a large gun in her hand.
On the other side, a continuous movement of Russian troops can be seen. And, while they continue with their maneuvers, the German chancellor has asked the Kremlin to promote a de-escalation to reduce tensions. Precisely, Olaf Scholz will travel to Moscow on Tuesday to meet with Vladimir Putin. In this sense, the Spanish Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, has said that “the de-escalation can only come from one side, from Russia, which is the one that currently has 130,000 released on the border.”
And, while diplomacy tries to stop the crisis, Ukraine also faces the problem of air transport. There are already several international airlines that have canceled their connections with the country. Kiev has announced that it will allocate 600 million dollars to guarantee the safety of flights, although it recommends not flying over the Black Sea.
