8:03 pm
and also the g 7, notably germany who are saying that this is impossible to do now that the economy would go straight into recession. it would hurt the german people more than the leadership in russia, and that's why it's something that can't happen at this stage, a complete cart of russian oil and gas. now before in the g 7 new phone there was that made her senate white to more support is the align, is going to be giving ukraine? well, i think the main thing that you're seeing out of this meeting and you've got the british prime minister barak johnson who's speaking the news conference right now. he just said a short time ago, the message from both the g 7 and nato is ukraine is not alone. this is a, a message they're trying to portray of unity among these allies of these 3 groups. but they're all on the same side of nato, of the g 7 and later on when the president biden joins the
8:04 pm
e. u of the european union. yes, there are some new things in the pipeline. mainly they're just rubber stamping things that were already agreed. there are now going to be 8 nato battle groups. they're going to strengthen those forces that are on the east and flank the countries. nato countries that are closest to rough sir, extra protection against chemical and biological attack by russia. those are some of the measures with regard to nato. i think the big question is that the measures that a for ukraine, because president zalinski came here with a very clear list of things he wanted. i asked the nato secretary general about those presidents lensky. when he addressed you recall the fact he 1st spoke to a month ago and he says he didn't get clear answers. so this time he asked you specifically for one percent of all your tanks, for one percent of all your aircraft, for multi launch rockets, systems,
8:05 pm
anti ship weapons, and means of air defense. a very specific list. what is your clear answer? we all listened very carefully to present and scan the men of the leaders in the room. ha, ha, ha. contact with him over these weeks also spoke with him under, under the you can in defense means participants in our the fence means they are only thing. last week and we listened carefully on, of course, we took not on his but it, compassionate message to all the nato allies. nato allies provide significant support to ukraine, and we provide also lethal weapons advanced systems and also systems that help them to shoot down planes. and are attacked a battle tanks with anti thank it, weapons, and many other types over of systems including air drones are not to go into the
8:06 pm
details of the exact type of systems we are deploying this close conflict between ne, finalize an ukraine. but what i can say is that the allies do what they can to support ukraine with weapons. so ukraine can defend themselves as self defense is a right and shine with you and shorter. at the same time, we have a responsibility to prevent this conflict from becoming a full fledged war in europe involving and not all new train on russia, but her nato allies and the russian that will be more dangerous and war devastating . and i, and i think we have to be honest about that, and that's exactly what you have been in our meeting today. and also what i say today or in the press conference, not so again, no clear answer to him. well, what we do is that we are delivering a lot of equipment and that is an answer, but i'll not go into the details. i don't think otherwise for operational reasons.
8:07 pm
if i lease that exactly what and when, and how a we are delivering oh, essential equipment to ukraine and a dollars. i have stepped up on this essential for the progress they have been able to make in the fight against the invading or russian forces. while i leave it to you watching that to see whether that is a clear answer to the very specific list um that has come from preston's landscape, or perhaps we got more clarity just a moment ago. we had the british prime minister say the logistically right now, given the state of the conflict, it would be very hard to provide armor and jets. and perhaps even frank her answer came in the last 20 minutes or so from the french chronic president, emmanuel mackerel. he said supplying tanks and planes. would we like becoming a warring party james? thank you very much. james fraser, diplomatic and for life in brussels. now the head of the international committee of

8:19 pm
in brussels, he is our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit with more on what person joe biden is expected to do in breasts. well, the u. s. president is expected here at the european council after he wraps up those meetings at nato and the g 7. well, initially the plug magic meetings have been really sort of focused on military security deterrence, not just for this ukraine conflict, but also the future to deter russia moving forward. now things are sort of moving towards the financial aspect of, you know, that the u. s. president set to announce new sanctions against hundreds of parliamentarians as well as oligarchy, in addition to sanctions, already announced by the united states. and then we also expect that there will be a humanitarian package about $1000000000.00 that will be unveiled as well. and this
8:20 pm
is, in addition to money's already announced by the united states for immediate needs for those millions of refugees leaving ukraine food, shelter of medicine, the al clean drinking water. and then we know as well, there is going to be a bit of a discussion about how to deal with the ripple effects of what is likely to be the absence of the contribution of farmers from ukraine who are currently fighting right now and not contributing to the world's food supplied and we do expect as well. finally, there will be a discussion among the u. s. president and his partners with regard to the concerns about human rights and specifically, war primes is of course, the u. s. president making headlines last week as he called vladimir putin, a war criminal. and so as a result, the u. s. will be announcing $320000000.00 to not only defend human rights,
8:21 pm
but also to document war crimes in ukraine at the united nations. the un general assembly has passed a resolution criticizing russia for the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. christian salumi has more from you and headquarters in new a 140 countries have voted in favor of a humanitarian resolution on ukraine that was supported by ukraine. calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities on russia's part of the resolution. also, a calls for an end to attacks against civilians and an end to the besieged meant of mary of whole. certainly the humanitarian situation in the country is a concern to all of the countries who spoke in the general assembly hall. some 90 of them signed up to speak out, but not all of them actually voted for the resolution. some abstained, 5 voted against russia in its closest allies, no surprise. they are bella roost. countries like syria, north korea,
8:22 pm
but some 38 other countries, abstained from the vote, saying that it went to far south africa. in fact, submitted an alternative resolution that didn't name russia. in the specifics, it called for a cessation of hostilities without naming russia as the aggressor here, as the other variation did. they said that this was a, in the aim of building consensus, that it would be more effective if all of the countries were able to sign on. and politics were not a part of the resolution. china, in fact, spoke out in support of the south african draft and abstained from the vote as well . listen to what they said. oh, these are new sheets clear that some of the contents of the draft resolution go beyond the scope of humanity. some issues are very complex, can only be resolved through political negotiations between the parties concerned. the draft resolution proposed by south africa focuses on humanitarian issues and
8:23 pm
addresses in many important aspects of the current situation in ukraine. or emphasize that the cessation of hostilities is a crucial step towards improving the humanitarian situation. we believe that under the current conflict and circumstances, the south african draft resolution is more conducive to promoting unity of you and member states. and to further opening the door to dialogue, a negotiation and a political solution one. so $140.00 countries that suggest that the majority of a nation's here at the you and do believe that russia is the aggressor here. it's specifically called on them to stop. i geron oil assembly resolutions are non binding. however, this i has the power of persuasion, perhaps, but not the power of international law, which again is why countries like south africa, were arguing that it would be better to have something more generically worded that all countries would get behind. ukraine has accused russia of deliberately targeting hospitals. moscow denies sad, but it's clear. an increasing number of children are being caught up in the
