the west has recognized the danger all the signs with us. we really understand that if the file uh, we will lose our concerts, euro my done. the february 17th on t w. the a rational sar sees say, or position leda elect, say no valley is dead. his passing mocks, the demise of the strongest opponent facing at president vladimir, who said it is yes, another name on a growing list of pollutants opponents to die. the death sparks a wave of international condemnation, german trunk. flo will f shorts. so that clearly shows the nature of cushions, rename, and hales and the volume. these cards on my new group is mckinnon in belen, and this is the day the

if this not if we didn't know already we know know exactly what kind of regime this is. anyone who voice is criticism, who stands up for democracy, most fear for their safety and their lives. pushing into friends feel nothing more than people that stand up. speak up that fight for freedom with general field know who doesn't care who dies as long as he retains his position. his death in a russian prison and the fixation and fear of one man. only underscores the weakness and rock as the heart of the system. that puts his bill also coming up germany, a new crane sign, a long term security packed. try out enough, begin 2 years after the start with this horrible war. we are sending

a crystal clear message to the russian president. we will not wait for in our support for ukraine. we continue to stand with the ukrainian people test and designed to still cut, you know, a little cutting welcome to the show. leaders campaign is around the world of blaming the report. the death of rushes most prominent positions they go on president let them in person. authorities say alexei, num valley died off to collapsing at the remote penal colony where he was subbing a 19 year sentence support. his of states vigils and many cities, heads of states including us president joe biden has condemned the kremlin and praised of all news coverage and resilience. just one day before his death was reported, a next sign of only a p, a cheerful, as he gave testimony via video or link from prison. even in you've seen the next

day, russian stay tv. read out the official announcements from the federal penitentiary service has come on the books. if i moved in a bunch of nevada on the hood, full in ill after going for a walk and lost consciousness, an ambulance crew tried to resuscitate him, but they couldn't save him. no volley was transferred to a prison colony above the arctic circle in december. it's conceded one of russia's toughest prisons and his regularly being held in solitary confinement. no volume these teams said his lawyer. we'll visit the prison on saturday to confirm his death. novalis wife usually was attending the munich security conference when the news reached to you. it's a problem. if this is true, i want food and, and all of his entourage, the food, you know, we just keep the friends and his government to know that they will be held

accountable. is that the need for what they have done to our country? somebody to my family and to my husband not to be as to me in cities across russia and around the world. mona's paying tribute to the kremlin is most very cool critic. in moscow, people lay flowers at the will of sorrow, a memorial, 2 victims of political repression, changes. i don't know, so it's kind of a shock right now. it's even hard for me to speak now. we loved him, we were to be increasing the of cost involved needs of september. first of all, in a similar position, a symbol of hope for a brighter future, for the show. and there's a feeling back with his death this hope dies. if it had still been any hope left,

it is even less now than it was before. the 1st one you died, did you begin to have a desire to leave russia or to mention that because you stop believing in positive change just as she did it to me. yeah, that's dwindling. hope on charlotte as a protest i is detained, seconds of to holding up the assign at a memorial button. of all of these supposes a splits between, sorry for the loss of the graces, type and resolve. the news of his death will only involved in opposition to the russian regime. us president turbine and discuss the face of alexi, novelle, ne, with black blood in the a purse into the summit, missing in geneva, in 2021 bytes. and says he one person of what he called devastating consequences if nevada only died in prison is by speaking in washington today off the russian

announced the val needs this power 3 years ago. in the meantime, they faced a whole lot of consequences as lost and or had wounded over 350000 russian soldiers . they've maintenance position where they've been subjected to his great sanctions across the board and were contemplating what else could be done. but that's what we were talking about as a time, there were no actions being taken against russia. and that's the call this transpired sensor that's bringing dw russia analysts, konstantin exit. constantine, what do you make of the circumstances of alexis, of all these death in prison? oh, we don't know whether he died of natural causes or whether he was actually killed, but have to remember that puts in try to kill him. the rest of the dream tried to kill him in 2020 bucks. i have to agree with those like prison biden's was saying that the specific circumstances of his bossing um,

not that relevant. what is relevant is that of course, put, has really made everything in the power to eliminate him. and that, i think is a pretty stock truth talk to us about the timing of natal needs death just a month before national elections in russia or to these don't talk about elections in russian. there are no elections impression. uh, there is a joke among russians that the school electoral procedures, there is no competition. nobody really wasn't jail and was never supposed to take pulse in this. in this procedure, put him refused to take part to the debates as always i truly so it's just a re, normally they what they put in to staying the credit for the 6 years i bought, i think what may have already depressed us, what ministration

a little bit is a significant number of people that went out to sign in supports of will be notional, a position or an anti war candidates? was you totally agree with the criminal, a lot of things. and this spring of basically should a position to put as warranties that probably wore it them. and personally i read this uh, illumination of in the volume me as a signal to the whole of the rushes aside. see, don't even try it in a signal to the west. don't try to do anything about me. don't try to dislodge me. don't try to scare me. i am going to stay where we're at before as. busy because i want to stay, this is a very but i in many ways this is very typical. good. now let's remember the find these know the 1st tests of the 1st of the 1st critic of his policies

and his attitudes who was killed. let's remember the former vice prime minister party, but his name so was shot in front of the criminal in 2015. and i would say it's fairly clear circumstances. bear in mind the fact that it was in front of the crime that all i'm not going to go. skin investigative journalist was writing mostly by the word church now, who was killed in 2006 on the barley's, just one in i would say in a group of people that crossed paths was poor and paid for the deadlines come from seen on a personal note you noon of al knee and his family. what can you say about the 9? what was he like? i know too much just family but to yes i'll look say personally, i didn't know we met 1st in 2010. i think at a conference and i'd say that she was, i mean, many people compared to me to

a younger version of boris yeltsin. very organized, very focused, very charismatic. in many ways, very rush. he was a very, in many ways he represented the nation, the national capital of the russians. he was the remarkable man. and i would say that he was always very clear about his his desire to change the mind of the russians of the way the country's wrong. that's why he's stalled with inside corruption campaigns. and he was prettily criticized for not paying attention to listen to that. but let's say putting some. busy against the crime, but i do think that she was a man who can change it. let's remember who is the 60 once you dot. and i think that the last couple of years, especially after an attempt on his life,

she went on to one to certain change. you have to just go back to his speech in court, which was full of biblical references and very much moral message offers of moral resistance to dictate to ship and to sort of there. and his daughter said that he was a bully, and i really, really feel extremely sorry for him because he wants to go change russia who helps to change it. and who was, he was also some of the good change himself. which of this page is frequently not the case. so my dip submitted to you, the letter, his children, and i do hope that that she's close will continue because i do think that she will become from now a very serious symbol of russia, that ph of be. but didn't have them at least detective. yet he telling you russia,

unless konstantin exits, constantine thanks so much for that. i thank you about it. and has a large population of russians opposed to flooding into 10 thousands gathered to demonstrate outside the russian embassy off to the news as an invalid. these death was announced, protest is we're accusing person of being on the dra and close to him to be sent to the international criminal court in the hate, dw, hands from was not the raleigh pop from the sullenness of the occasion. there is also a feeling of defiance and of anger here. and many of the speakers have been saying that nobody's work has to continue that nobody's work will continue logging the ports in needs to be confronted with the responsibility, the fair. so nobody including the, obviously, the, your, as it can, yeah. as hundreds of times and i'm

a 90 to continue with resistance. the news of alexia valid means death. and the, just as germany and ukraine signed the long term security packs here invalid and the german government has also promised more cash and military equipment to help keep fights the russian invasion. botkin ballad followed him. he had selected skin off, shots kept the small talk brief. i'm ed tight security, ukrainian prize you the entire winter. so you know, historic security agreement and the lighting gemini support for key. if the does the media we to, to hear from the men news broke of kremlin critic election of island these days. so this is the 1st step would look at this. that's mary depressing costs and i met in a valley here in bell. and when he was trying to recover from the poisoning attack in germany,

and i also talked to him about the great coverage of take to go back to the country because he did to that didn't go, he's probably not paid for that coverage along with his life for funded have that isn't what gets besides, to some lever. returning to the pre planned shed. you schultz said it was a show of solidarity. some bunch of them claim to try out enough to get into the through years after the start of this horrible war, we are sending a crystal clear message to the russian president because we will not waver in our support for ukraine loans onto the we continue you know this is done with the ukranian people 15 fight the fest and as i to still quite, you know, on the cutting president. so lensky will come the agreement and insisted 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, do you have any one thing to protect normality in europe and the world? because war must never become part of everyday life for any people in the world. and i see 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. if you're in your craft trip as a member of the ukrainian parliament and speak, so the president zalinski 7th of the people policy and she joins us now. from the munich security conference, welcome to the w. chancellor schultz has described this bilateral security agreement as historic d. you said us assessments. well actually, i think it's very symbolical, that's uh, the security agreement was germany was signed just ahead of munich security conference. and so we're happy that germany's actually the 2nd country to do that. and of course, the ultimate goal or to frame is to join nato. but before that we need not just,

you know, the statements about the deep concern of but a very solid paper. and as toilet agreements, and it actually gives the numbers for the 0 for military. and which is, which is really important. um, basically the corporation in the military production together, west german companies, does a similar package with fronts and, and as he said, ukraine is, was working with other countries as well as what difference do these long term commitments make to your government up to, um, it's been uh, followed by, uh, equipment was france and that present the landscape assigned to it was present mcclung. and so yes, it is actually a commitment was the numbers was sup projects. and as i just talked to

my colleague from a french parliament and says, tearing this up for me to on defense, she's really happy about it as well because it does have the content also about the calibration a together with the french companies. and i think it's also important both germany and swans because it will actually support and boost the economy and the, the producers of weapons. it's been widely reported, but 60000000000 dollars of age from the u. s. is currently stuck in congress. will see you hearing from your american partners about if or even when that money will come through while actually you can say that you're in munich. everyone says that, you know, our eyes look into the see to the, to what's going on that. and some of the hardest today uh,

was speaking at the opening notes of the conference. and so, you know, she's on the same message, you know, that we have to finish the job. them america has to finish the jump and past the bill on a. so you might see the news, there was another alternative bill registered to in the lower chamber of the house of representatives and to it was initiated by the public and provide them with republicans. so it gives the, actually, the, the clear vision that both of them, but it's still not you know, that, that they didn't find a compromise. and oddly enough, but i don't think it's odd. actually the motor of the volume is the desk of nevada . they also brought the importance of a to ukraine, into the lights, and actually there was a statement from mike johnson, the speaker of the lower chamberlain saying that we can not lo, 14 um, you know,

when the war and rack the international order. and, you know, have impunity for what she does. so the depth of novel need, but also, i mean if we look at the situation and for example of these and you can range right now, you know, a situation like that say, a special. what does that tell us about the need for allies to support ukraine? oh, well it's cool. so, you know, we can talk, talk and talk, but you know, i have the 8 of my fellow friends in the v of got and the text in new, you know, saying just, you know, be frank with our allies that, and unit russians and have a more than a, you know, up to 5 times more of a to are you that and a 7 times more people that so you know, we can never get more us soldiers on the field than brush 2nd green. but actually

we need desperately need me. so i was a tillery to, um, it least, you know, have the period tate in, in this field. so it is cool. so, and it's a bald lives apart from missiles and all tillery president zalinski replaced the head of the armed forces recently. how will you, upon those responding to that move? i mean a, you worry, but that might so doubts and people's minds. and if i got the question correct, so you're asking about the drones and the special forces? no, as i was. so i was, i was that what you're asking about the head of the arms full says who has been changed recently. so there's a new head of the ukrainian military. oh, okay. well um, it's just uh, working a process. um, uh its uh, you know, it's been 2 years into the war. so the right changes in the military command.

well, well, we'll uh, watch, uh, previous commented and uh we just trying also to re more new general as you know, look 1st journalist from the brigade, it's up to uh to the higher positions because they know the situation on the ground and the clear aim all the questions to ask you is to read everything which is needed to this one line. yes. can you crap choke a member of the ukrainian parliament? thank you so much for speaking to us on the definitely today. thank you for having a ukraine has received a substantial amount of military aid from it supported us, but it's also become very results full in building weapons of its own to the battlefield, dw use and it come labor pull. it's now where are you allowed to film? the hands is work as a building long range recognizance drones,

some way in ukraine. this is the prime target, the russian missiles. so they spread out the workforce to various locations in ukraine and in the u. on the, by the 10th of the reward team is left. the idea is that if one facilities hit, the others can continue. yet staying ukraine is with the risk. not just because many of the stuff can't always leave the cold. at this point. we have to be close to the people using our drawings. we need to be hated to repair an upgrade, but technology quickly to get the feedback and make sure we can make the dragons back. so this is the best place of the world right now to develop and test this kind of technology. when rusher invited 2 years ago, this company was making drones to protect wild life from purchase, was bought while 5. now everything they make goes to the army. with weston, munitions, deliveries dropping off intelligence these drugs provide is crucial to make sure

every last shell accounts must have a portion of our soldiers and very limited resources. my shelves and all kinds of munitions are at a premium. they can't afford to fire, they don't have visual confirmation from red row. and since they've got the right target, this technology gives them that are in real time kind of the company is drones of combustion rather than electric motors. that means they can fly up with the 12 hours, rather than 2 or 3 theory. they could fly too much going back then normally found, doing endless loops, but the ukranian battlefields follow deem it combines a drum unit, is back from the front line to get the engine is feedback and flips to be able to wire up a student. like come here all the time to help the guys make these drones better. so the bible crushing the reward has never static, but it's all about the changes. so if we allow ourselves to stand still, we will lose people. but i still have our own. the advantage is our motivation is

cool, but it was in my mind and it's a big one. what, what's our enemy is very, very strong, lawful. and we cannot afford to underestimate the senior what the ukraine's best joints of achieving parity on the battlefield. to use comparatively cheap technologies like this to destroy the russian weapons. with many times more fluids, the man has been constantly doing the sums and i feel a little while i was to add it up. i'm sure these drones have help destroyed target's worth much more than we spend destroying them, either on the drones themselves or us missiles. that calculation sometimes makes it worth sacrificing one of these birds as their pilots cooled them. a chromecast model of the low clouds were getting in the way of us watching what was happening on the ground level about this. and we can see to russian book air defense systems,

because here and we decided to defend, to get a better view of where mister shows could if i was there to direct the hi maurice to try to kind of right up till the last moment. finally, we ended up destroying one of the book units at the cost of my drone lead me if i go small, inconspicuous plans like these, going to be key to ukraine's jones's guess. russia's foss resources. these are weapons that ukraine could make for itself without other countries support the engineers here, just need to be sure the location remains, the secret that countries the defenses can stop the russian missiles. and that is the show such as a follow up team on social media at cdw news. and if it's the latest headlines that you're looking for, there's always a website, the www dot com for now from the entire team here on the day. thanks so much for spending part of your day with the
