6:00 pm
a when ukraine is being discussed for ukraine, for these, for this information to come from the mouth of our countries. i'm the president and our team. it's important for all our partners and friends not to agree about anything behind our back. and i do believe in our partnership, and i do believe that this is the case and, and i had him, i had very board meetings today with the leaders of different countries and still more to go. and i would like you to hear, to see, to ask questions and get the answers to understand the level of resilience of our country that we're not panicking. we are very consistent that we are not responding to any prom occasionally for young. we have our own vaccine already developed for that, sir. not as good as co land scenes, but the fax is already 8 years old. we know that things went into the reactor and
6:01 pm
things we shouldn't or cause when our soldiers are being killed. we know we need to respond, but we understand who is healing as we understand what these are. military groups are mr. chuck bar. and we also understand when they are shooting from the localities, surrounded by civilians to prevail, can switch for us to respond and has yet to start an escalation or the other side, a in responding to a fire with. it's also important for me, for us to be on the same page in terms of information and the, the fact that the part as are sharing without the information. we are very grateful for that by the way, for the cooperation about intelligences. but we are in this tension for many, many years now. we do not think with a the money to panic. so we think teachers,
6:02 pm
these risk are indeed very hard because we have. 3 more troops, 150000 troops on our borders. yes indeed that they crazy, but a very big risk if we can respond if we do respond to one provocation or the other or the other hand of that. but i think that russian federation and we, when we're talking about russia in all this e, this is the people will know people of russia. so i think they will not be able to start to go to war against ukraine. and although on the temporary log you by 2 territories, we have a lot of provocations and we see them. i will see this out through the mass media there, disseminating different provocative information. we need to preserve our stability . we need to keep calm north and be ando's. i these are from this in this terms.
6:03 pm
ukraine. army is more adult than others. escalation on the so called false flag issues. or you have just talked about to ukrainian soldiers been killed. the russians say mines have exploded ukrainian mines on their side of the border. we've seen this rhetoric before. we understand the concept of false flags. but how tense is that? how do you think you can stop it? you know, why would you consider the level of the current provocations from what i say, it will give us any provocation. so very dangerous. as i already said, i think the lowest trim complicated question that in the crimea, in the temporary occupied territory of the don barza, along the borders of ukrainian russia. he says via g 35000 on the term pre wire or temporary batteries is 35000 mo and 150 along are the borders. so
6:04 pm
provocations are in the very dangerous. if you have this number of true, one shelling one via a cannon. fire can, later, when we perfectly understand, as i said, i do think so, and this is what our partners believes. i mean, the part has a around us who have joined the borders with us. you know the history of the soviet union and need to understand the kind of risks we are basing by the poland, the baltic, stay busy and you know, stone in latvia, moldova, they know what that could lane taylor walker. i'm with them. so we need to be very careful. i shall zera's. i can't tell you any of this. be nice about what will happen now if you compare to 2014, 2015 mile, there were beach mar, more much more casualties. unfortunately, nobles that he got when someone in the in mass media says that now this is the most
6:05 pm
horrific situation. that is not true, but it is horrible. it's a tragedy for our nation, for our people, my dear is a tragedy in the future. you will see that this is a tragedy for russians as well, who used to have good news. that relationship with ukraine, hard to win was stay members with neighbors and lay with a child from now on. but we're in a different point of our life. we know talking bad neighborhood, we are talking bad rule the sort and they just shouldn't start. this is why the risk is high or what was shown yesterday on the temporary occupied surgery. there's one, it is shown, some shelling allegedly flying from outside and then they have shown something flying all the way to the stove region of russia. this is just the may, a premier gland from occasional didn't realize that there's no one in the dead or wounded. this is just cynicism of such a high level says that while they are glowing on a sound playing on their side and,
6:06 pm
and shooting, this is not the 1st time since 2014. and they are aiming their guns and her shooting and the territory that they keep themselves control. this is the kind of cynicism to say, that's it. and we, yes, well that all we care about is peace. and i mention this many times over there to the president, co, russian federation and mater and john mccullen mcgraw know in 2019 and we have sam, us master demand signals on the monthly basis. we have been passing on a different world leaders, middle and directly to russian federations that we are ready to sit down and st croix at yahoo, j warry, the platform that you like. pick the part as that will be there around the table with us. we are ready for them prepared for that. what's the point of us shooting and proposing diplomacy at the same time and to long, i'm sorry. you,
6:07 pm
you can stop me. well anyway, when he, when he wants can i ask you how you seal to day compared to a few days ago? because i think everybody's been quite amazed at this solidarity between the united states and your country and europe and the united front that's been presented. and also the extraordinary departure that the united states has used intelligence to telegraph exactly what it says, president putin doing. you have said different things about that. on the one hand, it could so panic and you're going to remain disciplined. and you just said again, we're not going to panic. how do you evaluate the u. s. aggressive use of intelligence to try to dissuade president putin? mom. my name's club. now. it's difficult for me to judge dynasty
6:08 pm
how a united states should be using the intelligence, i guess, is they doing this in a professional manner. this is their choice, but i'm grateful. ready or both for the work that both of my intelligence has been doing for the intelligence i trust is my intelligence. i trust nancy military ukrainian intelligence who are on our territory. you who understand what's going on at all. now border, lisa, who have different intelligence sources and understand different role raised phase jointer survey data. we're talking about this in this information should be useful . i repeated this many times. we're not really living in the news and we understand what can happen to happen tomorrow. but maybe the comparison i will make is not good, but just putting ourselves in coffins and waiting for boring soldiers to come in is not something we are prepared to do. we're not only going to advance on any one,
6:09 pm
but we're ready for to respond to them. we cannot remain passive. we cannot say on the daily basis, the role will happen tomorrow because what kind of state will it is going to be? what kind of economies is going to be hired? can you live in the state when on the daily basis of your being told that tomorrow the war will have on to morrow? the advance will happen. it means crushing national guard said money is being taken out. business lying on, can you live in that kind of country? can you have a stability in that kind of country? no, not. and then the, those who want to dis balance our country from within would come multiple and everyone wants to claim to be weak, weak economy, weak army and navy. there is, we are, maybe you can just go ahead and invade and we won't be able to protect neither people, neither children or their economy. this is why our response very come to for much one at the service, for asian or the other. we have to, as i said in a yeah,
6:10 pm
we have to saying, i don't know, know how to react to what i chose. my god, me. but i have to digest this information. i have to understand what will happen after me. my words up to my resume reaction to this, what will happen to my people? what will happen after this people will run to the banks will take money from their deposit accounts after they say god fearing not, and the panic will start. we have the information was the hybrid. what was going on this is why not ukrainians are not giving out a little break. the indifference should they sense of the word? we won't let us to layer of what's going on, day after day and protect our country. if you want to help us, we have lots of examples here, but i thought rom this in from is a lot of very concrete things strengthen our, in our say, give us more management to strengthen our economy of invest in our 1st country, bring your business. if you're afraid, okay, give us cheap financing. give us
6:11 pm
a support financed grants code. why? when we're giving money, why we're always getting these connections. you have to get to 1234567, and carson of other reforms. is there any other country in the world who would have such a strong army on the eastern borders with all these reforms implemented at the same time? that is not easy, but we're not panicking, which is labeled line as we want to live. and as a strong country, that's a missed president talked again about native we much the are you, i'm sorry, i just wanted to add the literature. i'm sorry for interrupting you. sorry. i guess we're not blissful in china. we had a discussion some time ago was one of the leaders, the other one of the leading countries and we were not talking about the sanction policy. we had a different vision on how so these should be applied to when her no rush and aggression will happen. when we're being told that you have several days and then
6:12 pm
the roll will start or he and i said okay, vision would then apply the sanctions today. polemicist assumes, yes, they say yes, we apply sanctions when the war will happen because i'm say fire america, but you are telling me that it's 100 percent. you say that the war will start in a couple of days when then what are you waiting for us? we don't need your sanction. yes. the bar after she, the bombardment will have her and then after our country will be fired ad. so after it go, we will have no borders of now after we will have no economy or parts of our countries will be occupied. why would we need those sanctions? then? what is this about when you are asking what can be done or a witness? well, bah, lots of different things can be done, so we can even provide you with the list that the most important is willingness. so you're calling for, for sanctions to be level. now you also talked about nato. now,
6:13 pm
there's obviously, this is the big sensitive issue in this whole issue, right? and you have just talked about, again, wanting to be part of nato. and yet you said you don't expect any nater soldiers on your territory. now you specifically said we want no foreign soldiers with foreign flags on our sold on our territory right now. what is your position on wanting to join nato to day? oh yeah, but what i'm personally to respond to the 1st part of your question about sanction ion. the question is not about introducing them today actually gave the whole world understands that xander was so claim will to morrow. there is a high probability of escalation by russian children, he's an 8th. russian federation would be, is not pulling out to propose their own military think that would be provided della if they are pulling bag my than the will be no question. even. yeah, that's a soft obviously who would have put i'm talking about the typical diplomats who
6:14 pm
cannot apply sanctions automatically. i'm talking about the logic. if they pull back their troops, will there will be no sanctions, navy, but today public i even the question of for is when jasmine will become making it public preventively just the list of sanctions yet. so would be for them for us to know what will happen if maybe they start the war my even that question does not have the support of them. okay. let's be honest, learning and then when the guys had put my, i have a question and which is why i didn't muscle. if you can't even disclose, walt will happen not to to whom. if the all star does exist, then the question is that it will be, i doubt that it will be triggered me after even happens last by the sense in terms of nato. we had a lot of debates regard regarding this, and there were
6:15 pm
a lot of discussions about the world leaders and my friend was and a rums loves in was in the meanwhile i had lots of friends among the world ladies. i will not name them because others will get a family ukraine is being supported. indeed, but ukraine needs security guarantee emilio, when we are smart people, we are not newman. i reminded we understand relo of different risks because of natal. there is no consensus either around you were aware, ally, not everyone is saying there is some distance that we need to to go between ukraine and the nato that we need to walk. all we're saying is, tell us how much time does it take her to her complaint on this distance measured in years and hardwood. you see this, this is measured non jaslyn hours as well, and you can see with the tragedies and live history, this is rather than the last human life of ukrainian. so tell us was on this distance with leave,
6:16 pm
or should we or is it fair for eyes with to gabble the guarantees. why will still walking this bars? is some diplomatic guarantees? isn't it just simply fair? no one is pushing any one against the wall with a question for us to be there in the nato. but that's not the case we wanted. we do my about unless, but until we have that possibility my, what we want is the guaranteed security guarantees. and i know you have to go on getting me the old rap. but can i ask you just just a 2nd? i think i think cyber dec ah get, get again jenny hawaii and are the one for the revision. yes. but maybe you, maybe you see ross and on here, but they're here that's, that was, it doesn't work. i'm sorry. i tried to talk to you and you'll,
6:17 pm
you'll understand me. you, there are, i understand you from the very beginning. but you know, there are some very important things here. so what i want to ask you, mister president, is that the u. s. has its intelligence. you said you have yours. what is your interpretation of putin's intention? not his capability. his intention? do you think that he will invade, he will decide to do that, or he has young as nice look which of reside on know that what the president of russian perpetration wants. that's why i propose to meet that judge. ah, on that note and that all your people are telling me that i have to say on syrian ha, sorry you people are telling me that you need to go. will you at all afraid of coming
6:18 pm
here in northern woods? are those why with our friends here? no, no, leave your house unguarded. ah, only vcr, and he's my real numbers awarded. well i, my response will be very brief. i'm sure that our country is in good hands and they give you, maria, this is not just my hand. these are the hands of our soldiers and our citizen yellow, but i think need breathe my visit a year is important. she has the lunch. and i would like to say that i had breakfast here in the morning in ukraine, and i will have my a dinner in ukraine as well. i never leave home for long. you so much. watching all the zeros but 20 pursed 1500 hours g m t laudermill zalinski, ukrainian,
6:19 pm
president speaking to the assemble audience that the munich security conference doing the whole range of questions being asked, but also stating very clearly what his country's position is. some of the salient points are from him are, you know, how did we get to this point in the 21st century and end up with the biggest security crisis it since the world war 2 are the security apparatus of europe is brittle and old and needs to be updated, it's not a case that it's my war. it's a potentially a war for europe. and he always, or he also said that the doors open, or he's willing to talk to putin anywhere in europe with any other international groups in attendance. and that he will not give up his claim to and his countries came to join nato. let's just join our diplomatic editor. james bays has also been listening in to what was said. and james, it has to be said that despite all the seriousness, the lensky also managed to add just
6:20 pm
a tiny bit of humor into and lighten the conversation. but what he had to say was quite poignant. yeah, it was important. the information coming from the ukranian president, it was important, i think that he came here because he was advised by the us. we understand it by us officials that it was on wise at the time of danger to come to ukraine. he said at the end, it's not about me leaving my house unguarded. it's not only about me, it's in good hands are the soldiers and citizens of ukraine who are that he, i think he's keeping up with the law that we've heard for some considerable time from him that he doesn't want to panic. anyone in his country talk if he was to talk about imminent war, who can talk about a war tomorrow? if he was going to mention things like that, then there would be a run on the banks. the currency would be affected, the economy would crash,
6:21 pm
and i think that's why when he was asked repeatedly whether he agreed with the intelligence from president biden, that person has made up his mind and he's going to invade ukraine at any point in the next few days. he said, well, i believe my own intelligence, and he was asked about us, he's my, he's intelligent so public. and he said, well, i guess that is a rational that doing this in a rational manner. this is that choice. suggesting to me perhaps is choice. he doesn't entirely agree with because of the panic that he says it will so in, in his own country, ukraine. i think there was a difference also between him and the us in the nato allies, a low issue of sanctions. he says he's press the u. s. if there is this imminent threat and they keep same as you may ward a matter of days, then why are they waiting on the sanctions? why don't they at least announce a list of sanctions now,
6:22 pm
because announcing that list bay deter puccini's, or what use all sanctions to my country if some of it is occupied if there's a war already underway. and of course, reality of that is yes, the us and europe have agreed a package of sanctions in principle. but pushing the president of the european commission urban of on the line on it earlier on. it was clear that she couldn't actually say definitely when i asked her what was in this list present zalinski. during his speech at the beginning of the time he spoke here, made it quite clear that this wasn't just about a war in ukraine. he said, the most important thing everyone had to bear in mind is this is a war oh, this would be a war that's taking place in europe showed why depends on the lead, the bids in the mire to roy, the knee shop. there's no such thing as, it's not my war on the 21st century affinity, the annexation and crimea, and the warrant on bass as a blow to the whole world. this is not about worn ukraine. this is about the war in
6:23 pm
europe. i mentioned this in 201920202021. looking for the world. be able to hear me in 2022. he brought this up in d. james, you know, he was talking about open doors and being or listening to yes, men who are quite happy to say yes. yes, yes, but not really give him the open answers that he needs, especially when it comes to the issue of joining nato. he was very clear on that in this address. yeah, and i think he was cool. he said he didn't want to name names, but he was calling up members of the alliance because nature made it clear back in 2008 that in principal ukraine to join. and in fact, that prospect has moved further away. i think as a way of trying to satisfy vladimir putin and avoid the sort of crisis that we've ended up in now. and i think he's unhappy about that unhappy that they say that
6:24 pm
they can't, but the door is open. and yet the door never actually opens for ukraine. clear. ukrainian president is here. he's getting a standing ovation from many others in the room from all the nato allies from the us. he's been, he's been greeted by all the top officials, but he still has some differences in the way that they are handling the situation. the bigger picture that nato membership, but also how they're handling these moments that seem to be a very dangerous moment to you, doesn't the president biden and the intelligence he's quoting very publicly, the cranium president, i think, is not entirely sure. those are the right tactics. he also played a very interesting all said, he said some very interesting things. nuanced around about equipment and military alms arriving in ukraine. talked about them as not being a donation, as if they were a charity, but they should be, they should arrive on an equal footing in terms of partnerships between ukraine and
6:25 pm
other countries. i. e, data members and other sideswipe, certainly about military helmets. yeah, and of course, as a reference to germany, we heard the german foreign minister 24 hours ago here. answering that and making the point that germany has a different culture from many other countries in nato because of its modern history because of world war 2. that here, public opinion is very, very heavily against the war militarization. they're a member of nato, but perhaps they don't respond in quite the same way as some other nato nations. germany, both the foreign minister and chancellor schultz. we've heard today though very strongly backing ukraine at this time and back against any threat from russia. or james, i want to ask you because you've been then over 24 hours. you spoken to some pretty high profile dignitaries in terms of your assessment. russia was looking for cracks
6:26 pm
within nato, within the e. u, within the partnerships that ukraine has built over the last decade with european and western nations. what's your general assessment about whether there are any cracks that hootin can utilize? well, say, say 2 things. i think the unity on this particular issue right now, is there much stronger than we have seen at any time, i think for a long time. certainly, perhaps more unity than we saw in 2014, when, when, when, and of course it was slightly different than when russia annexed crimea because it was much more of a surprise operation. but more unity than then and certainly more unity than we've seen at any time since the beginning of the trump presidency. and of course, the trump presidency saw real unraveling. i think of nato unity, president trump going round the nato allies saying you all the to pay more. and at
6:27 pm
one point like he might actually threatened to, to not back nato's key article, article 51 for all over one. every one, if it's an attack on one nato ally, then all the others come to the defense. that is a much stronger position. and that's definitely here in the words that you're hearing, not just from nato, but for all the leaders. words are relatively easy though. actions are a bit harder. we've seen some nato allies going to the eastern part of nato, near the russian, or border sending of more troops. they're sending reinforcements. they're the big test, i think, will come if there is this invasion. are the words of all these nato and each countries got to be matched by action when it comes to sanctions that i think will be the big test. nichols that test only comes if, as u. s. intelligence say he's going to let him in putin makes the decision to cross
6:28 pm
the ukranian front lines. james base, our diplomatic editor there in munich. thanks, james. and let's cross over to the ukrainian capital andrew simmons is standing by for his andrew, we heard the ukrainian president saying that he felt very confident about leaving a key. if it were, ukraine is in good hands. he has complete confidence in its armed forces, but is there concern about the fact that the president isn't on ukrainian soil right now? not really know, the vast majority feel reassured that he's on the international stage. and speaking in a forthright way about the strength of the ukrainian people and indeed that sort of questions like, don't treat as, as a charity, he's very grateful for the military assistance he's out from so many allies, but don't treat as like a charity, some kind of a donation or with the we're supposed to bow down to. he said that we are holding
6:29 pm
back the one of the largest arm is in the world that chimes well with the public. a lot of diplomat, sir, thought it might not be a good idea for him to travel from the country at a critical time. but as you say, he said to the end of his speech. sure. he had breakfast in ukraine and he'll have his evening meal in ukraine. there is a lot to do. the concern is obviously the fighting in the east in at the front line . 420 kilometers of it's of which should seals off the popular republics as they're known, the where the separatists have set up their own governments and an anal causing great alarm with the evacuation of citizens in te indeed we. we heard of a very, a shelling and confrontations over night and what seems to be the situation right now on the front line. it's obviously a very flexible situation or we can independently verify everything that we're
6:30 pm
hearing from either side. well there is some news just in that sir. there is a, i was a large group of parliamentarians from the ruling party with foreign media at one points of the separation line as it's known that they came under fire and had to take shelter in a bomb shelter effectively there. okay apparently, but this is an indicator of just how unpredictable the fire is right now. we have long range artillery in total breach of the minsk agreement, which was in 2015 that that whole piece agreement fell apart. but the remnants of the seats were still exist. there are allegations from the russian separatists that ukraine has made attacks across the front line of with its artillery. and it's also breached the minsk agreements. and, but we've heard from much metro collabo,
6:31 pm
a tweets denying point blank that there's been any attacks from the ukrainian side . and this is the foreign minister who is in munich. he's there a with the president, and he's also the so also spoken to anthony blinking the u. s. secretary of state and being told about new data on russian plans and the latest intelligence he had very little to say about what that amounts to. but so the foreign minister on friday i was a, it was pointing out that there are false flag incidents all over these republics right now. and people are very concerned about what effect this was having were also hearing a few updates here from the intelligence services here. that the russian special forces, and this is the allegation. anyway, russian special forces are working alongside the wagner units. now, you may have heard of these groups of mercenaries which are subcontracted by russia, and have been active in africa and the central african republic in particular. and,
6:32 pm
and causing a lot of alarm there. now they're operating on the ground. of course, the phone intelligence here are saying that they are engaged in provocations, incidents that are forced like incidence. that would, the, the suggestion is on that is that one area of concern. and other updates or nato has now withdrawn staff from the capital here. or they have gone to levine, which is a town near the polish border. and so the answer to where it's been being referred to now as the western diplomatic capital of ukraine because at least a dozen embassies have moved stuff there. but because of the concern of the capital coming under attack, this isn't biding well for public confidence. and indeed, the president himself was critical of western powers for removing themselves from
6:33 pm
here. but there's also germany now has taken action. it is a warning it citizens not to come to ukraine and germany or the german airline. lufthansa, as announced that it will stop all flights or to ukraine as of monday. and that will be for at least a week, monday to monday. so developments here. not good, negative, definitely. but you could say that zalinski is speech has as really the people we spoken to were really, really quite relieved and assured that they had a president who was deemed by many as weak at some stages in the pass after his election. but now there is a fatty fatty supportive mood amongst the public here and to submit that force and care. thanks so much for the update, andrew. and let's discuss bundle what andrew said about the ongoing conflict in easton ukraine or near the front line. charles stratford has the very latest about where that conflict is escalating. we've been speaking to villages. it's
6:34 pm
a day they describing the shelling overnights or at least a couple of the villages that we speak with you saying that was a heavier shilling they'd experienced or heard since the end of all melinda, or the official end of hostilities back in 2015 when that failed piece initiative and cease fire was signed in mid. what's important and as you can see behind me now also to recognize this there's a lot of military in villages like these in and amongst the civilians and interesting. we had a conversation with a ukrainian soldier in a shop or about half an hour ago. and he was debating with the shop owner and even he is concerned about the civilian population. here. he'd all the shop owner, whether in fact the local authorities had approached the civilians here for any potential evacuation plan here. nothing on on, on that note. we also asked him personally whether he thought, in fact,
6:35 pm
that this was just bluster from the russian back separatists from russians. with this increase shelling that we've been talking about, whether frankly was bluster or whether he thought there was going to be some sort of move. his answer was very much a definitive. yes. he said that the weapons that were being used by the separatists were of a heavier caliber. he also acknowledged that the ukrainian army in this area have also moved in larger amounts of weapons in recent weeks. well, as ukrainian president said, a war in ukraine would impact the whole world and it appears we're starting to see that germany's national airline, as mentioned by andrew lufthansa, has announced at suspending flights to and from the ukranian cities of kevin odessa, and other airlines, a drawing of contingency plans can style to keep as as base open, but industry is haunted by the memory of malaysian airlines flight m h. 17, which is believed have been shot down by russian surface to air missiles flying near easton, ukraine's conflict zone in july 2014. in the 2020 a passenger plane,
6:36 pm
with a 172 people on board, made an emergency landing in syria after it was nearly hit by syrian air defense systems. and in 2019 buckets on restricted its s space a months after strikes by the indian military, 11 international air roots run through its territory and hundreds of flights were forced to make costly d tools every day. philip butterworth hayes is a specialist and tropic management and safety and the former director of communications and strategy at the civil navigation services organization in amsterdam. he joins me now from brighton in southern england, good tubby, with us on the program when a conflict is potentially developing, like we're seeing at the moment in central europe. what alarm bells ring with the civil international airline industry? about how the routes that fly over that particular country. ah, and how to coordinate that with respective civil aviation authority groups. it's
6:37 pm
a really interesting question. so there are a number of drivers to us was the 1st one is the national governance where the line is based, they will have their own st. georgia assessments. so they'll be talking to their lines b, l i shall, was information both with each other and by the international civil aviation organization, the material b, u. s. body responsible for safety or flight. so said is that, and then we also have insurance companies. well that their major drivers, they, they will look the risk and just say, look, not going to cover this flight. so you have all of that. you have the airlines doing their due diligence, they're insecurity as well. so there's quite a few pieces of input now, but it's not coordinated. and of course it's quite complex when you have one country with, with one security assessment, another country with another security assessment from your launcher in the middle.
6:38 pm
okay? so you have a scenario as well as we mentioned mh 17 malaysia airlines flight that was shut down over the contested se an area of ukraine several years back. and what changed that period for airlines in terms of routing? what to be re thought out on an international level when it comes to air corridors . 2 things. and i think the 1st thing is the degree of coordination. so there's a lot more coordination now about risk assessment. and the other thing that changed is that everybody, everybody, unfortunately, is now tooling up and it will, when it comes to the kind of arms and colors as defense, systems that are being employed around the world, or even small conflicts. now you're getting jones flying. that means that we need more defense systems defense systems are coming more automated. so a lot more activity. lot more air chips each even 35000 feet now, which is which used to be well above
6:39 pm
a combat. so. busy that suddenly now in the range of service to i missed out so. so the threat is changed is proliferated, but the coordination has changed. but again, we'll come back to this is a question of politics days or just just for clarity, for our audience as well. we all will take a flight. we will hear about a flight path plan that a pilot has to submit from the moment to flight plan is submitted by the airline. what's the process and how long does it take for it to be approved by suffering governments that that plane can naturally fly over there as space. and what happens if it changes along the way? what, what are the contingency plans? you're absolutely right so, so, so the pilot puts in a flight plan that has to be agreed by all the flight countries, which is normally it is almost automated. seizure. in fact, if you didn't, you're, this is one place where you fire fight plan and that covers every single server for
6:40 pm
40 states. so that, but, but that's almost automatic. there is a dynamic view as you go along. i have to say that if there is a conflict cerio, it's very likely you'll get approval to fly over that. so unless something changes rapidly on route these, it's is unusual to to get a flight plan on that change because we look at as space is a huge transverse space. and it's an apartment in one area than they asked patients . so chance to be shot. so 30, just let me just bring in some images from flight rate that we can see over ukraine, right now, p to just explain to our view is that we can see even now that there's very few flights over ukraine. the, the flight routing of flight seems to be avoiding you crate and definitely the southeast of the country and the crimea area. i mean, this is some things that we see now because of technology. but in the sort of the,
6:41 pm
in the ninety's where we had no fly zones over iraq, for example, that was due to un resolutions with announcing internal conflict in syria for nearly a decade now. but why is it serious interesting? well, because not many countries do fly over it yet there are some airlines that fly into the country into damascus. how does that work? well, again, that's up to the national government to decide where they want. so you got it right . if you look at that map, the very few weston and western european airlines flying there. it's, i mean you train is a for a g key corridor area when it comes to chance in north south. if you know, if you're in scandinavian, you want to get out was the middle east of all or to the far east is an important chance area. and that pushes the price for the rights, but you're seeing that and that's absolutely right. but that's because some and some countries, some airlines have decided that we will avoid the entire space altogether. what you
