5:18 pm
talked to him about the great courage it takes to go back to the country because he didn't go, he's probably not paid for that coverage with his life for funded have to do some work if besides to some neighbor is returning to the pre planned shed, you, schultz said it was a show of solidarity. parchment them claim to. so i, you all have enough beginning these assume years after the start of this horrible war, we are sending a crystal clear message to the russian presidents of some cause we will not waver and our support for ukraine onto the we continue, you know, this is done with the ukrainian people didn't fight the fest and as i to still cut, you know, on the cutting president. so lensky welcomed the agreement, uninfected it was about more than the fates of ukraine. when i d, 's. now this is a very important document. it's not just about some new direction in our cooperation. it's about geometry one thing to protect normality in europe and the world. because war must never become part of everyday life for any people in the
5:19 pm
world to see if you will get those regions. the 10 year long guarantee isn't tended to deepen military and economic support. but despite the warm smiles, it crucially does not include a nice or style plate to come to ukraine's defense. and are the chief political correspondent, nina, how does i gave me this update on the reactions from both leaders to not all of the stuff. well, the news broke as we were sitting that waiting for the latest to turn up for that press conference. and now i'm seeing that historic deal of security cooperation. so essentially, a very good day for germany and ukraine and then use broad setting volunteers indeed did. and both leaders commented, all i've started said that he was a debit stays as he knows now, volume e in pass. and he met him when he was being treated in berlin at the hospital after he was poisoned. and, and so this does go beyond the political message or so it said it is, uh,
5:20 pm
a personal matter that we're now seeing what kind of a regime we're dealing with in russia and, and that at the time he actually spoke to in the volume the about his courage about his plans to return to russia, and the last charge said that pneumonia has now probably paid for this cartridge with his life and that russia has long stopped being a democracy. the ukrainian president said the lady may uprooted, doesn't cat who dies and that he has killed navarro the now we of course we have no confirmation as to the medical cause, but at the ukraine your president was very clear that this is something that's like improved and will have to be held accountable for creating president as an, as k was invalid, and to show up a support for ukraine's war against russian aggression. did the presidency lensky, get what you wanted as well. they're both very hesitant when it comes to big
5:21 pm
was a, the you training president and the german chancellor, but they both spoke of a historic agreement and it is something where the formalizing the support, the germany. it has already been given ukraine from the last 2 years. in the defense against russian aggression. and this is also going be young, that is a deal with the signing a long term support package essentially. so they steal, consists of 3 pillows, mainly dom you will continue providing military aid and help you train, train and soldiers. it set for as the 2nd point, it will also help you train build up a resilient army so that it can in the long term, withstand dressing regression. and then the set point is, if all of that fails, then germany will help you cream, send of any future russian addressing that could occur even in a post war scenario. but what it does not entail is that german soldiers would come to ukraine's depends on the ground. both theaters also mentioned that the support
5:22 pm
from the united states, how bodied is presidency, lensky and the chancellor sold that to the us support codes, dr. wayne. while the fear is tends to bolt and the situation on the front lines is of course, an extremely critical one on ukraine. does risk losing some of its territory to rest. if a good and with the us a package was 56000000 euro is being held up in congress at the moment, will have so it's actually address the congress pledge, pleading with them to help you crane. because base is not just about helping a small country defend itself. this is about european security as a whole and everybody knows that it is going to be extremely difficult if not impossible, without us money and leave it there for the time being beat up is nina has a thanks so much for joining us. and despite the shock of alexi and the valley's death leaders of the munich security conference,
5:23 pm
have many other pressing issues to consider. there's a packed agenda dominated by the was in casa and ukraine. tensions overtime on donald trump's possible return to the vitamins and the global economy would also be oper most in the latest miles. to do the loose chief bullet took a later time to collect his now is at the munich, secure, to take on funds. i asta whether we can expect any progress on ending the was in gaza and ukraine while it turn it around. so if there's going to be any progress, it's very likely to be here because what we see on stage is that only half the story of the munich security conference. their accounts are so full by last row, meeting, small group meetings of well the does secret meeting, the latest wouldn't really own up to actually having had the meetings that they're having here. so we know that there also is a palestinian delegation. so we're hoping, guessing that there might be some tools going on, and on ukraine there's
5:24 pm
a much bigger over asking issue, and that's how fun is the west amongst itself and sticking together. and here it was key hearing from the vice president of the united states, kamala harris, who said something normally, every 1st of the elect, as president says, which is that support for allies, is i in class? that's what, oh, allies and all of those countries who are dependent on us protects and always look out for in a speech. so the very fact that they would need felt that she has to repeat this really point towards an over arching uncertainty or open question about the future of european secure receive the young ukraine. but, but the hot, i'm glad is that to us, give me, let's just look a few cran, $60000000000.00 and funding for the ukraine and water that has been handled up in the us congress. and this is all types of domestic political issues in the united states. how i think that really is us support well,
5:25 pm
us supports from the fight. as soon as i inside, we saw something or unusual happen in the united states that the lack of bypasses incipient inability of democrats and republicans to actually find some kind of common ground. now will suddenly also stretches into the sphere of security in foreign policy. that is new, that is very boring for us allies, and that is the doing of none other than donald trump who wants to be re elected. on top of that, he made comments questioning his willingness to defend nato allies the to you are to be re elected as president, unless they pay off a to nato and potentially towards his own expectations at so for now, it is a little fun, but come with a higher as herself to raise the issue that the americans themselves, that there is a political camp in the us that is questioning whether the us suits have this
5:26 pm
