everybody was talking about an invasion. i've been traveling a bit around and many people were telling me at the time, just 2 weeks ago that they didn't believe it was gonna happen. that maybe there would be a push from the, from the easter, but certainly not all this. did you believe we're doing all that time? a, you know, latest days? yes, i a stars. it's of believe because, you know, for amr ah 20 a 14 year old b o know was a did he can expect for on rash as that it's not a are and browsers anymore. so i was kind of expectancies and i was to beat rivera . i was buying some supplies, some scenes for me or some emergency. so i was kind of expecting it, but of course it was surprising when it thank you very much there. you heard it. you koreans standing strong backing their army,

turn back the time to the supremacy area. and whether we have to put boundaries to few things, acts that that is or if asked for our own force. yes, we do want this and we vill on in short val said democracy and freedom and i am very grateful to use the mistresses and if that today's emergency session can share the thoughts of her does he deserve. and i think the democratic can fractions off part is in germany to come together, one of them, what do they did about 5, ladies and gentlemen with the invasion in ukraine put in,

i thought just want to remove any independent countries from the world map. he also destroys or demography of security, which had been as greed upon in the helsinki a course which ensures are secure. and in fact, face corporation for weeks we have together with france, that's faster than embassies. and try to call this russian situation in the ukraine as it is an apostrophe. and if they are their success and the consultations should be, are not on our own, for the peace of her and arnold engagement and be will continue this emphasis. and i am thanking all the ministers for their

corporation warmer than all them. all leave is the emergency hold a moment regarding the video that i garage her as an ongoing member of the security council, a full term sub things switches to her. and it's shame president who does president putin talks about a non of every legged incontinent model shareable. i because security, however, he wants to share the rural powers into his so on, off in gasoline says there will be consequences for you rob. yes, there won't be any continuous security doors does. most russia will be have to make this year 2 in the,

in india or one of the, ah, the accepting the challenges in a unit of the united waves. yes, since there are several class in front of us pfeiffer, 1st of all, we have to defend ukraine in this desperate situation. we have done this in a large context of the last years and months and base. however, with the invasion of ukraine, there is in you tightening the men's time in those areas. so i hope people are not just defending their home. however, they're values of democracy and freedom. this we share with them. that's dim. cardinal democracy is dental crowns. if you are please me, ah, of there is supporting them on the right correct side of history

and donna sat on her say present to jane if this invasion of the ukraine created a new reality. and this new reality receives clear response, which read did give him and germany will now be decided yesterday that germany will deliver weapons. oh, i got in on this plane and was there was no possibility to have her a different answer to fight in aggression. and our 2nd tasks reaction is to the saudi booting from his cut more action. the voy, this catastrophe for ukraine. however, this war will also be

a catastrophe. for russia. remind them, did you want that's on the user some together with the you and her states must haves. we'll have her bank the side of several sanctions. we are cutting off russian banks from him. the only gosh, you again, sir, dearly gosh, cheese will be taken into account as well. and a punishment for bruton and within his direct circle will be effective including these hours obviously and heard among them from bank come on board and bang. this bill be excluded found in thought. and yesterday we agreed this. the e u member space about is are in

a democratic democrat, the fe, let's be about serious butin will not change his actually is over. 9th, however, was very soon the russian leadership will align in the field, right? high price. they will pay over 30 percent as i'm john on there by non spite of our sanctions sooner than i do. berg b experienced this because the courses have fallen by 30 percent last days in russia. and the question is now, what is he on the, is he hitting the most responsible very strongly not the russian people, but those who are responsible hovens baby it and put in the if put it would include, she didn't because it was who did not. russian people has decided to be in no voice,

therefore it is the floor is muted war the defense youngest to defend chaise sting is also important because reconciliation after the 2nd world longer between germany and russia is and remains that important offer of our ritual history. and advice and i know really how difficult it is too bad, a difficult situation there for our citizens who hadn't been born in the rain and in russia they're far even not. and now that this conflict between the 3 rod and democracy and beauty vill leak up old rules and

lead to further negative consequences. and we should remember and other thing in many russian cities in the last few days, ever demonstrations against protein and then into account punishment. which takes a lot of courage. deutschland

germany i did to day is on the side of the ukraine and with ukraine and people, our thoughts and sympathies are towards sea, earth, i because of your creation you friday, russian and all sodom. to those who are car, just lea, a from $1015.00 and his law of you know, there are, it is many of them there are many mean owns on each to those. all i say do not give up. i am very sure free there once tolerance and human rights was vill reset. also be ensured in russia when in our modern

did the goals are slaves and gentlemen, the 3rd challenge is to travel, as putin swore will not swap to other countries in europe. this means we cannot, if send on spots, we are part of our supportive commitment within the lethal yes, this is an elliot. i also knew that you said to our allies in the middle and f m e . send you over to president of houston sugar. not underestimate our decisiveness together with our eyes. allies, the village defend every square, meet her reminder to me that are very serious with this together because our outs will power

on spot you'll be on is to defense, the lation which will be accepted into the lay till such as you would defend ourselves. the german army has already extended his support towards our elijah part. nice. and i do think thank my defense minister for this. in lithuania, we have her mom and must our deployment and in romania we have extended our agreement. i don't know. and i really would like to be part of my own more nato troops in slovakia and in the north sea and in the mediterranean are also increasing our frame

logo, darden, all those soldiers new talking in the last few days only had little time to prepare for this task, i tell them all. so if i express my gratitude. thank you duncan. thank you. got it all. so for their important task, especially in these days here, ladies and gentlemen, visser gossley turning, piled leslie duty in our measures are 2 in ensured a piece in europe. germany will do contribute term. his solidarity towards this, which should not be misunderstood, was this is not important. because therefore, the german army in review competencies,

this is my task number 4, and this is my 5th, and this is my last number for ladies and gentlemen who ever have a few tedious historical act. and they said the duration of war, whoever saw his declaration of boardman in the ukraine, and like myself, who spoke, who will, to dispute in for several hours. there is no doubt a very futile create a russian him here. and he wants a new world order. and he will not stop using embark on the vacant ministry. this is what we see in the ukraine. we have to

ask one ah, his and his other daughter, big no capacities in that and the need to see our and the st. our capacities today. and in future it is clear you need to invest clearly more towards the security of our country in order to protect our freedom and democracy. this, this and a goal, sir, this is a big national life to figure out what the effort of strengths and the german high tech, modern whatever the army will protect us. one week ago, during the immunity security conference, we need planes and ships and our soldiers who are

supported on the us. yep. all right, this is important and this should be all important in insurable, which is important in europe. however, you're better armed emmys and better personnel lines on army on his bill, so expensive, therefore enough to be available line orders, arrangements, and i am very grateful for findings with mr. live. now in this the one is also, it's my daughter went monday with german budget and when he was ready to emit, okay, 100000000000 euros for this in order to arrange

this capacity just for now on every years. what will be available to part time invest more than 3 percent of already feed into our defense system. furthermore, and furthermore, ladies and gentlemen, i am addressing here all factions of the german parliament let us ensure, especially budget in the hands of the constitution. i know wilkinson to another point i would like to add is what we are by the aiming for the,

sorry, it's not just because we are supporting our friends and allies licensed to increase our g d p by 2 percent done or so for our own security and our selves. boy business, that's a unique element. i know that bad ones via i not all chase can be resolved by the german army. therefore we need also a strong development corporation. and therefore, therefore the bill is sean is training begins. i bought the film different from us being a stronger than should be again, the same for cyber attacks and towards our communication and infrastructure and

beeville technologically almost as b as a resource, as not uncomfortable to relate to say, to hard and we will together with our european partners and especially france, here in europe is our times. these projects have the most important per priority. before i knew them in, i will. aeroplanes will be able to solve deploy village fevers of development and the euro. drones, all agreements have been design this week and also the hair on drones from israel will be arranged. we will ensure isabel and for the nuclear nikia at participation, there will be a replacement for the old ones on lay low jets as comfortable as f.

35 will be considered here, lisa, and the data. and then finally, ladies and gentlemen, maybe they were doing more for a secure energy. i knew because i'm a dr. foreman's in our racially one measure. it was already taken for this. me will not give us dobbin, our dependence from several areas you suppliers and he will switch even to switch to achieve business. b. a rams of the last days and weeks showed as a responsible, ongoing lecture chart of politics is not just in bodily power, climate, and economy, but also important and decided that our security, therefore, the more, the quicker the renewable energy can be developed. the better this will be

not been visiting and beyond a variety of industrial lee as an industrial nation, we want to be see or neutral until 2035. you follow this? this target customer leaving will have to quote on coming the important decision. the ambush lawson is by coming in have decided options to buy a long term options of 2ww cubic meters. this was the size of and b, what was likely to discuss with you and, and, and to am alan determiners and bronze rutland films half. and then the bill, this is one of her positions one as much as minister,

the german in that style, by guns or economic minister. robert harvey. i would like to especially as an expense my pangs and it has the end of the lesser city even be come by and o l n g just terminals can more when bus out off of can be to. they switched to the 3 in hydrogen on that truly. and the idea, of course, we will suit him speak, continue. let's not by considering the energy prices, beauty of craig, last of related to an increase of energy prices. and in this year, i'm heights a company in a link had enough to trade for annual charter last energy. the benefits will be

supplied. germany really won't leave and then enable this quickly. our message is clear, our citizens and companies will not be locked down. in that situation, there is the gentleman, the turning point does not just affect our nation, but the whole of europe. and there also challenges and chances at same time challenges are the serenity of the european union to be strengthened as a video of sustainable way. and the chances are what we saw in the last few days regarding the bullet pine, the sanctions and the packet of sanctions for germany and all the e. u members, if is not just to ask, what can be done to benefit from brussels but it's also the question should be,

what is the best decision for you? yes. oh if you are also is our framework for actions only by understanding this beeville or damage management from from that report be successfully the daughter towards the saga challenges. and this is now our 5th point, a fear diploma putin on a knife design. a lot of, despite a lot of the diplomacy of a one should not be naive, but not being of the eve showed me lot of items i have verse and talks for a genuine dialogue. it takes $2.21 very obviously and clearly is lucky and likened is in the last few days

and weeks. and what does it mean for the future reynolds with me will oh, noticed in la, denied the of covered and i along with russia. and especially now at the diploma the channels should remain open. anything else i do find irresponsible in it. i'm a town ladies and gentlemen. you really know what we are here for especially with regards to our own history. i for greece in freedom, we are against violence as a political tool. we are all in favor of the freedom than all please to resolve conflicts and even not rest. i think it has be insured in europe and damaged in benito. here we are not alone and well together with our friends and partners in europe,

and is outside democracy. awareness is last thing. i'm disappointed in this is turning fine. therefore, i thankfully all of you stuff and all the fractions. i know that the under the russian invasion indians towards envoy silvery and independent indignation from us, had been condemned and our indecent talk freed and every peace agreement short this was you the are all symbolizing on his doctor. i'm with peas and i and he's the one stray assurance runs by your office that v r o. before is that fair? free and democratic europe and even within this

jump german johnson at all a filter they are addressing the parliament say in berlin air, amid dea, a rush, an attacker on ye plane essentially lay out germany's position. i touched on a number of issues, a german security national security wanting to beef that up and spend more money in investment in defense arm, and the need to, ah, diversify it, sir. it's energy. our source is early because of its relationship with, with russia and russia being a major energy supplier to our germany. he also taught quite a bit about our russian president vladimir putin saying that he had created

a new reality. and this was a war of his making, dominic cane his life for a say in berlin has been listening to this as well. so dominic, i'm, there had been some or a perception that a of germany's position or when it came to russia that it was, it was slightly softer than the rest of europe on this. but he didn't appear to be that that wasn't the impression that you got from, from that speech. there wasn't if the had been the perception of softness well that, that would seem to have been done away with now. very hard language from the chancellor. basically very condemnatory indeed over a series of different sections of his speech, dissecting the approach of the russian government in its actions in ukraine. referring to president putin as someone who was trying to build an empire in europe

. a place where there was spheres of influence hawking back to the worst parts of the cold war. and there were references from the chancellor to the actions of the ukrainian people, the people who are fighting against russian forces in a variety of different europe. ukrainian cities where mister schultz said that they were fighting for freedom and the germany is on the side of freedom. and on the right side of history said mister shots, the chancellor here. and then there were interesting elements to about what exactly mister shots is. government is going to do saying, as you were saying there has them a 100000000000 euros going to be spent on making the german military more ready to be able to carry out the responsibilities that mister shaw says they're going to need to shoulder and saying that germany now commits to paying 2 percent of its budget on defense matters will that will be music to the ears of those in the united states who's been saying,

ever since 2014 what angler michael signed up at the whale summits of night. so to that commitment will now mister schultz is saying very clearly his government is going to meet that commitment. and then for those who said that one weakness in the german governmental position has been its reliance on russian gas. well, in the short term, mr. shots is accepting that that reliance is there, but his solution to that is to invest as much as possible in making alternative or arrangement. so the fast building of 2 liquid natural gas terminals. and in, in germany, off the coast of germany, which will allow l. n. g ships, huge container ships full of liquid natural gas to come to germany. and what will germany do to finance that will it will be paying extra to try to get that liquid natural gas from other countries around the world to try to reduce that reliance on russian energy. and then looking forward,

you had very clear reference from mister schultz to the need to strengthen the multi lateral approach that has been taken by the e u by in a. so these are v. russia no question of isis, if there was the perception until now. all of a weakness at the center of the german perspective, the german policy towards russia will mister schultz is trying to address that now . and it does have to be said that there were voices starting to question both here and germany and elsewhere in europe. starting to question how mister schultz, his government could, on the one hand, be offering support to ukraine, but not offering it weapons. and on the other hand, talking tough to president putin about sanctions, but not dealing with the reliance in germany on russian gas. well, as i say, mister schultz is trying to address that. there were a few other elements in what's just taking place in the bonus tag. those were of

interest when the president of the parliament, the speaker, if you like, introduced the debate. she said that the ukranian ambassador was watching from above, looking down at the members of parliament swell. every one stood up and gave the ukrainian ambassador a standing ovation. and then when mister schultz referred to those in russia who have protested against the actions of president hooted again, an almost universal standing ovation from members of the bundis talk, a low a house of in parliament. so that does appear to be relatively widespread support inside the german parliament for the measures. 30 chancellor shots has been setting out to us in the course of the last 45 minutes or so. that's not teresa particularly surprising because he is the chance that he has a majority in parliament with the conservatives. that's angular michael's old party will. they appear, broadly speaking to be supportive of measures that mister shaw says,

outlined here. and it's a clear message from his government's softness, no more referring to president putin and moscow as trying to create an empire, saying that germany is on the right side of history, saying that germany is prepared to defend every square meter of ne. so territory doesn't really, really leave a great deal of room for ambiguity there. it's a clear message from mister schultz. his government's thanks. dominic donna kane, lifers. there in a berlin much more. a reaction on that to come for sure. but right now ukraine has rejected to russia's offer for talks. impeller is saying it was the staging ground for an invasion. a russian delegation has arrived in the bel air ocean city of carmel ukrainian president vladimir lansky says he remains open to talks in, in utah than you used to. miss leslie did. lydia nibbler again, if you didn't have dis aggressive actions from your territory, we could have talked in minsk in your town. that is

a truth. that's the situation to talk it been neighbors. and now you have made your choice. that was, depends on you. that's why now you're seeing no to minsk in other places, could be a springboard for talks as go i want to talk, we want to meet to end this war just bret slobber, budapest, she had suggested to the russians or any other place, the accepted ag, a russian president vladimir putin has again taken to the waist, praising the efforts of his troops, speaking directly to moscow's forces. i pay special tribute to those heroically performing the military juicy during the special operation to provide assistance to the people's republic of dawn best these days. i wish luck, success, and all the best for you and your close ones and dos. jibari joins us live now from moscow. so doors are honest, discussion around possible talks. what more we hearing from the russian side on the

well, according to the kremlin spokesperson the russians were, we'll wait until 12 g m t on sunday, before and giving up on the ukrainians. the kremlin spokesperson has said that as they is a delegation. now, in bella bruce waiting for the ukrainians to show up, now, the delegation includes members from the president's office, from the foreign minister, as well as the defense ministry. now, what is not clear is what kind of discussion was held prior to this delegation making this trip with the ukrainians. the beller russian president, alexander lucas shanker, has said that the choice of the city of global and south eastern part of his country was made by the ukrainian officials. and that is why the russian delegation is currently there, waiting for the ukrainians to show up. the russians have said that they are still willing to have a discussion with the ukrainians, but it,

while that discussion is ongoing, if it starts ever at this stage, the fighting will continue their operation inside ukraine. the military operation will not stop as they have these discussions the ukraine, ukrainian officials have said that they will not have these discussions in belarus, as you've stated. because that is one of the staging grounds for the invasion of their country by the russian forces. but all this is something we have also heard in the past few days from the russians on friday, we heard that apparently the russian president, vladimir putin, had ordered a halt to the military operation in ukraine while they provided a chance for you. praying and officials to whole talks with the russians, but based the russians claim that the ukraine has never responded. so the operation continued on saturday. but we know that the russians have said they don't recognize the government that is in kia. so it's not clear who they're actually looking to speak to vladimir putin as said that black mirrors. lensky is not

a legitimate president, and he doesn't represent the entire population of his country. and he does, he's just being used as a puppet by the west. so it's not clear who the russians want to talk to at this stage, but they are still waiting for the ukrainians to show up. they have until 12 gmc, and we'll have to wait and see what comes after that. but the russians have said that this operation will continue and whether or not she decides to engage it is up to them, though. so thank you. daughter jibari in moscow force i do. simmons is live from levine in western ukraine. now andrew, you've been reporting to us from the ukrainian capital the last couple of days and so you've given much for now let's talk 1st about, 1st of all about that and brings up today on what's what was happening there. well south of caves, there has been an all facility,

a blown up of the night sky, illuminated by that fire which was wipes far as i'm hearing now is still a blaze. also a pipeline near hockey's. ha, he's suffering as you heard earlier in an immense way with an onslaught that from the 2nd city in ukraine in a terrible state, not helped by this gas pipeline being attacked. the 1st deputy head of administration in give is saying that there are clashes with saboteurs as they're called, thought to be under cover russians who are using a sleeper cells or something like that, which is constantly referred to by the information ministry and other officials. but these so called saboteurs are set upon by any body available that can be civilians with, with free handout guns or it can be other parts of the security forces that's

happening a lot. and we're hearing that some of the explosions, some of the attacks are, are down to these saboteurs. they could be special forces. we don't have full details on there. but what we do know, as a network is that it is incredibly dangerous, or anywhere particularly in cave, obviously, but anywhere in the country, not just because of the russian attacks, but because of the level of stress and tension with the field operations going on to try to find these saboteurs or to try to find aggressors as that described. we case where the latest one of the lakes is to come into a situation. it by no means is that the most serious. but our arrival in this city last night was within minutes of the curfew coming down the right side of the current coming down. but we will effectively ambushed by the arm police from several directions over the automatic guns. their safety definitely at the pistol at the head of my colleagues and indeed myself, the pistol was off safety and directly pointed. and they were really stressed. and

so there was, if you hadn't had your arms up, we felt that the was could have happened. they went on from that a half now we were obviously had up on a friday documents with us. but this went on moving on from there, tragically, but it should have been the other way round. tragically, a, a ukrainian journalist in his car was approaching the fighting near odessa well, between odessa and crimea, a very dangerous region right now, whether slaughter fights and going on. he was shot dead in the head through the head at the wheel of his car. that is what we're, we're, we're in a situation that was a russian, a shooting. who do you know, sometimes how do you identify the civilians? of course, a finding it just as hard ready in a different way, desperately trying to find a way out of their homeland. it is absolutely tragic and you're looking at hundreds of thousands of people trying to do that and you'll hear from from so many sources

. so many borders are harrowing stories to that effect. and you, thanks very much for that and use in his life for stare in live event certainly is a voice valley ball ta situation you're talking about. there were some help you continue to stay safe. or joining me now on sets is andre onto coffee as a russian journalist and political analyst. thanks very much for being with us. so just talk us through what some, what you've been seeing and hearing there, and in terms of russia's actions in ukraine and how you think you, how you expect this to unfold. so we see that the special operation is continuing and, well, russia has reopened the window for diplomacy, one sentence delegation to 2 bellows to the city of guerrmo, but well, based on even the head of this delegation and his, the former lawyer evidence case, the former minister of culture, there were doubts that ukraine side would accept those and negotiations. so i think

those moves reactions are continuing the special operations continue. and, well, i would like to tell you that the latest news tell that the ukrainian government decided to free the prisoners that took part in no direction previously. so i suppose it's some kind over step of despair or, or measure of despair. what will, why do you say it's a measure of despair? well, they've got nothing left to fight to this russian military operation. they previously, they gave a weapon to the civilians. and every think, every military experts would tell you that a civilian wouldn't be able to fight an army. so there are steps of despair the day after the other. so i think the better way for president lensky to accept the person proposal to start talk so well,

this proposal feel on the table. he saying that he is not going to enter any to into any talks is not prepared to enter in. and he talks, at this point with russia, wall russian forces are still continuing to advance into ukraine. what say to that? it was told you previously, russia had reopened window for, for diplomacy, but meanwhile, but to him, to him it seems like diplomacy at the barrel of a gun. no, i mean, but russia didn't stop. it's military peroration special operations. so when the stand that you wouldn't agree for for diplomatic action, but wouldn't agree for negotiations, at least at the moment. so the military operation is continuing. and as the thing he say that russia didn't stop the military operation, but all the indications seem to be that that's, that is what they did. and i want to ask you, as well about the remarks from the german chancellor schultz saying that this was

a war of kitchens choosing. and he is trying to create a russian empire. how do you respond to? no, i don't think so. russia said previously that is not going to occupy ukrainian or russian interest really. we need to do to implement, implement what is doing right? no, no, no. i mean we just, there are names are very simple. dennis, if occasion of ukraine and the militarization of ukraine, these names were. so you said the knots, if a cation was what you said, what's, i mean that's using quite provocative language there? what's, what's the justification for the oh, i can explained and very simply, you know, on the, i think yearly basis rush proposes to the general assembly of the un to content the nets in the, the, the regime. then this is in basic do you know what kind of doing ever is that? do you know what countries that vote against those russian proposals only to guess

who gets you guess which they're just stays in the ukraine. so this is anessa regime based in key events, which were so those marcia, in key, if we should, we should. we should make it clear to 2 of us that you're talking about. the volunteer lensky is a democratically elected president. he was, he was elected with overwhelming sides of the vote in 2019. how do you square that with your view that, that he's leading a nazi regime as you call, explain your previously, there is a position of lead him is the landscape in the you in about the next season. the those vote against russian proposals to about 2 days and that same and then that's the thing. the other thing is based on the events and from time to time with the marches of the now and not system give. and there is no actions taken by the military or police, or any or any source didn't give to prevent this. so this is the not reaching well

to tell you the truth. there were some hopes when the president was elected. he said that we are going to do it with russia. we want to a stable relations with russia. we want to finish the conflict in dunbar and the region, but those were only statements. it turned out that nothing was going to be done. after that, we saw that the prison lunch has started to know with no direction there was no directions to continue in the den bus region. that's very just one of the funding thing. i want to ask you about how you believe president putin, what his, his objective is in all of this. i know you talked a little bit about that earlier. but there is a fear that what the russian forces are essentially doing is attempting to encircle the capital key with the objective of basically removing the government there by

force and installing a government there that is more compliant to him is that is that will you believe will happen, well, not, not complained to him, but we need to free. so we're in government to in key. so we don't currently, i mean my, when i tell so it means that we don't need the ukraine to new the net to know russian control the military alliances. so this is the thing we, i want to remind you that in the year 2010, the ukraine parliament to have got a law of neutrality of that ukraine and 14, they cancel this law and they turn out towards natal. this we're going to have to leave it there. we're out of time. i would appreciate you talking to us to call thanks so much for being with us. that is it for this news out much more to come in a couple of minutes with peter w. stay with us a
