4:04 pm

4:05 pm
the video that emerged shows a more complicated reality. there he dosage of ours in moscow forest. let's talk about these videos. first of all was so saying about all of this well, we've had a reaction from initially the, a russian ambassador to the united states anatoly and to love who said that this is yet another example that's the ab shows the bias of western media. when it comes to the conflict in ukraine, that at the american press have not picked up the story despite the fact that the video has not been verified by the new york times. but since the footage was released on monday, we've seen this video appear on russia state tv in over the past 48 hours, heavily featured at the events that unfolded it just outside of the ukrainian capital. apparently on march 30th. the ab state tv here has been
4:06 pm
a linking. the ukrainian forces is saying that they are now and it's similar to that of i, sol fighters. and that to they are very much carrying out the work of their government and also a, comparing them to nazis as well. this is part of, of course, the larger narrative that has been coming from the russian government since they began this. i'm so called special military operation in ukraine on february 24th. they say that they are on a mission to quote and denounce the fy, ukraine's military and to neutralize countries army as well. and this is the 1st a verified footage that we've seen of the claims that they have made over the past few weeks though. so let's talk about the negotiations that are going on in the sidelines of all of this. what more to worry about, know about those or we just heard from the russian just before we go to door. so i want to go to brussels,
4:07 pm
where this is the opinion foreign minister to mutual collab talking to a press conference following his meeting earlier on. let's listening to support ukraine's defensive war against russia and also to discuss the global implications of the russian aggression against ukraine. ah, i came here with a simple message. ah, my agenda for the discussion had only 3 items. it's weapons, weapons, and weapons. to win the war 1st and foremost, union weapons. the point is very simple. euro atlantic security is indivisible and the fighting against russian plains, thanks, and personnel in ukraine. we are defending not only our sales,
4:08 pm
but also the security of fir nader, members of the allies. and the deal a fair deal that ukraine is proposing is simple, you provide us was everything that we need and we will fight for our security, but also for your security. so that put in president fujen will have, will have no chance to dest article 5 of the north atlantic treaty. i was pleased to hear, to day, a growing understanding about allies of the fact that ukraine is fighting, not only for itself, but also for them. in a growing understanding of eastern o for the countries will belong to eastern flank of nato that
4:09 pm
ah, supports the ukraine should be stepped up. and it's natural because we are neighboring piece of land countries directly. i am ha, cautiously optimistic about the outcomes of, of our discussions and then looking for the, the allies her to us. i was very specific in the requests and the timeline that this request should be accommodated. so i will be looking forward to the follow up from elyse to everything that was said and discussed today. thank you. oh, let's thought was embassy on it. i don't conform those of me. this group, national, new surgeon served brain journal. the secretary stalled on burke said that the
4:10 pm
russian needs like 2 weeks for a group in its forces before the next major offensive operation. so that my question is, if you grain here are enough time to recover before it offensive into bear to prevent properly. and the 2nd question is quite diplomatic one, as we saw in our boucher and our um, ukraine in series of each where occupied we have now these absolutely nancy behavior and officials in moscow. a just confirmed with rehab dealing with the state nancy policies in russia. my question is what is in principle possible to discuss them in negotiation process. thank you. by the way, i was told that ukrainian interpretation is available, so ukrainian journalist can ask me questions in ukrainian. i promised interpreters that they will have some work to do ok. first, yes, russia,
4:11 pm
russia withdrew from key is and the vicinity of give not because as it was stated by potency spokesperson pasco, they wanted to create constructive atmosphere for negotiations. but because they were pushed back by ukrainian army. and because they require additional resources for a large scale offensive in dom us. so we do observe re deployment of a rush as units from north of ukraine and north east of ukraine to eastern ukraine . and actually, as we speak, the battle for dawn was, is underway. it has not reached its maximum scale. but every day the heaviest fighting takes place in that part of you crate and more is to come. unfortunately, the battle for don bus will remind you, and i regret to say it,
4:12 pm
but this is true. the battle for don bus will remind you was 2nd world war west large operations, my new worse involvement of thousands of tanks armored wiggles, claims artillery. ah, this will not be a local oppression, based on what we see in russia's preparations to eat. russia has its plan. we have ours, and the battlefield will decide. the and the outcome of this battle will be decided on the battlefield. and this is why it is so urgent for allies not to ah, how to put it mildly, not to tell us that they're still thinking that they are, they have to do all the procedures that are, there are many ah, issues which have to be sorted out before they make decisions,
4:13 pm
either you help us now and i'm speaking about days, not weeks or you'll help will come to late. and sir, many people will die. many civilians will lose their homes. men, your villages will be destroyed. exactly, because this help came to late speaking about negotiations. i said it already and i unfortunately to my deepest regret, boucher is butcher massacre is just the tip of the iceberg. marty, we all are and you see from reports from marino by that mario. but is much, much worse on all accounts. and then you ask the right question, how does it feel dogging to the russians? after all this happened,
4:14 pm
there are 2 points which i want to make. first. i have only one question to the russians. who are they? whether they come from, then they have no compassion or empathy neither to children whom they rape, nor to women and girls who are raped and killed, nor to civilians to old people even to animals and pess. they killed pets. i. i don't really i dont know of the bush, i don't understand who are they, who are this people? and while asking my cell this question, i also understand that to prevent more butch us, we have to talk we have to talk and see how we can and this war however, and i will be very honest with you. it is clear that the positions of delegations in talks will be defined by the successes
4:15 pm
of relevant armis on the battle ground. and the in fact of sanctions in boston, russia, these are the 2 main criteria which make either our or their position stronger intox. and of course, we are entirely focused on making sure that we will be stronger and we will eventually prevail next one as the sort of birth. hello. thank you for question. mark carlson from associated press. have you received any promises of new military equipment today or no weapons are like mine, you their life. they love silence, and i will not be in a position to go into details. but ah, let me put it this way. i have no doubt that ukraine will have
4:16 pm
weapons necessary to fight. the question is the timeline. the discussion is not about the list of weapons. the discussion is about the timeline. when, when do we get them? and this is crucial, as i explained earlier, because one month, 2 weeks ago, it was enough to say, what will be given to day. it's more important to know when it will be given. and this is, this is something that allies have to sort out and to find appropriate solutions. it might be i so much foreign minister nick beak from the b, b, c. you say the dumb in terms of weapons. it's when not if what is holding things up, is it a lack of will or is it the logistical problems that the nato allies are facing?
4:17 pm
and also presidents zalinski has talked about the recent sanctions that the you can, the u. s. have been saying will make a big difference. he says that they're spectacular. but they're not enough. did you get a sense that some of the nato allies were, may be holding back on weapons because they won't sanctions to do the hard work? first of all. ah, the answer to the question to the 2nd question is no. i think they said 2 on 2 parallel tracks where we have we see different progress was, was a different allies. some are more advanced on sanctions while being more reluctant on providing us was weapons. others to the contrary, are willing to provide was weapons by the more conservative when it comes to sanctions appointed. president make is of is very simple. we appreciate everything that his has been done on the sanctions front so far. and yes,
4:18 pm
it's true that the, this, the latest round of sanctions ah inflicts, inflict serious damage on russia. we're looking forward to the adoption of the fifths sanctions package by the repeal union. ah, and if it is adopted as it stands, then we can say that a serious pressure that the pressure has been stepped up. but as long as the west, let's put it this way, continues buying russian gas and oil. it is supporting ukraine was other hand, was one hand while supporting russia. war machine was another hand. and this is the point the president is making. the damage that is being inflicted on russia by sanctions now has meet and long term implications for ashley gone. but
4:19 pm
people are dying to date, defense who is unfolding to date and william steps, which will stop russia's war machine today. this is as long as it is not. as this hasn't been done. we cannot speak about deficiency for efficiency of sanctions. yes, damage is inflicted, but it's insufficient to stop russia. we're mission and this is, this is the point. and the 1st question was un weapons. why did a month in the 1st week of the war, i asked one foreign minister whether his country would be willing to provide us with a certain state of the art weapon. and he said mitra, it's complicated because it requires at least 2 months of training for personnel.
4:20 pm
so we're not going to do that. if he had agreed with me in the very beginning to do, to provide ukraine was the weapon we would have already. people would have already completed about to come about to complete this training and we would have had it in the, in the week or to. so this is the problem was partners. i mean, i appreciate them. i loved them. they all friends. most of them are personal friends, but this is the problem that you always have to break one will after another. the 1st wall was we are not going to send you weapons. ok, we broke it. no one is saying that anymore, almost the next tool was we will send you light weapons, but not heavy weapons. ok, we broke it. we broke this wall as well. now what i'm hearing,
4:21 pm
i've been hearing until recently. we will be sending you defense weapons, but we cannot send you offensive weapons k. we explained that it doesn't make any difference when it comes to ukraine because we are defending ourselves. every weapon is different. defensive by definition. ok, we seem to be to have broken this well, this will as well. and now we are in this, again, in this situation. when, when will you send this? it takes time, but we have no time. if we had started, if we had started, that's if we, if they had heard us before, we would not have had a discussion. we wouldn't have his discussion up. ah, so it's all i didn't know it's, it's a little bit of all so reluctance and readiness to act on time acting only after thread. you just like i said to and i will work in openly said here i said to partners from just 7 and the repeating union in the last days that i
4:22 pm
know what the initial package of sanctions was. and i know that it was stepped up that when we were asking you to step it up, you ignore this. in fact, they could have been some back slight and only as to seeing the picture. so butcher, eula agreed with us that sanctions have to be stepped up and that what had been prepared was insufficient. but how many of which us have to take place for you to impose the sanctions? how many, how many sang, how many children are women, man, have to die? innocent lives has to be lost for you to understand that you cannot allow sanctions for dick as we can not allow fighting fatigue. so we are in the process, but i'm satisfied with the overall dynamic. so how our partners evolve, but unfortunately state is the price of that is pretty high. go to this site,
4:23 pm
is mr. nicks, your friend from p b. s. news? our thank you. one of the main topics in the diplomatic talks with russia has been security guarantees, of course that you have been asking for. did you repeat that request today? have you gotten any progress on asking any nato member or, or getting any name nato member to agreed with security guarantee? and you say your cautiously optimistic about individual countries. arm shipments, do you think nato itself as an alliance should be taking a greater role in those arm shipments? you're absolutely right. i'm cautiously optimistic about shipments from some allies . but sir, i have no optimism about seeing, or nato as a whole supplying ukraine was necessarily weapons. ah, in the foreseeable future, i don't know, it may change,
4:24 pm
but this doesn't seem to be the case now. so what is happening now is that natal, as an institution encourages allies, those allies were willing to help to help. that's it. that's how it works now. and made the source as a platform where everyone comes together and for discuss this, this thinks, ah, no, i did not raise the show security guarantees in the meeting because we know exactly the list of allies that whom we see as potential security guarantors. and we negotiate it at so by later level. but in my bilateral meetings here, we are raising and discussing this issue with them. the yes, yes, they definitely get a better understanding of what we're looking for and, but we're still kind of, they're still in the receptive. we're still discussing. none of them has provided us with their vision for security guarantees. at this point, we have time just for to will last short questions in the 1st on the later they're
4:25 pm
not another behind. yeah, i live, i hear from politically. thank you minister. a video post. it is social media appears to show ukrainian ships shooting a captured russian soldier. i was wondering if you've seen the video and if you have a reaction, thank you. i haven't seen it. i heard about it. i wanted to marry assure you that ukrainian army observes the rules of warfare. so there was of course, there might be isolated incidents of the violation of this rules and they will be definitely investigated. but i wanted to double check the date of this, of this, of this video because you should understand. ah, one thing. now you, you will not understand it. i'm sorry. but you don't understand
4:26 pm
how it feels after seeing pictures from boucher talking to people who escaped. ah, knowing that the person you know was raped for days in at all. and when she finally made it to key, if she was directly taken to their psychiatrist, you don't understand how it feels. that's russian soldier, rape children. ah, this is not an excuse to those who violate the rules of warfare on either side of the front line. but there are some things which you simply can't understand. i'm sorry. let's think one less one ukrainian meter yoga. it creams grew within. dorothy was again, i will get in school, i will be sticking in ukrainian. so take your fossil you with your to leave it on.
4:27 pm
he says, oh, he said, he says, oh, so you're a turkish calling. you had a meeting with him. as for him, he was quite up to mistake. he said that he surely hogue say you will have a meeting with mr. leverett and they're working hard on this. so what do you think? are there any grounds for his optimism and, and are there any reasons for your next meeting with mr. liberal? from what i hear from her minister, elaborate publicly, i do not see any optimism here. as far as i'm concerned, each of his, their common se on the undermines our let me add more possibility of talks rather than facilitate them yet. i did meet with him a few times and in fact the in the city of until here as well. lu, i surely don't share any i don't cherish any emotions which would allow me
4:28 pm
to meet with him if that's necessary to stop war in ukraine. minister labrono is part of the system of a president putin. and that he justifies the very fact that he justifies bombardment. of their hospital in mighty, who put water as well as the crimes committed in which a war crimes committed in bush and all the towns and villages of ukraine and called them fakes. that just meant for him in the most part of this war crimes. but i am ready to meet with him because he's an official. and if this is going to stop or in ukraine, i am ready to meet with anyone. all right, thank you. you're watching are, does it, are we bringing you press conference which has been held by ukrainian foreigners to me to call labor following a meeting of nato members and members of the g 7 which has been held in brussels.
4:29 pm
he spoke of the deal that he had put forward to an a 2 members in g. 7 numbers is said, you provide us with everything we need and we will fight for our security, but also your security. so the president putin will not have the chance to test article 5. article 5 is the nato, a part of the natal constitution to which suggests that an attack or what on one natal member is an attack on all nato members. he also was very specific about the timeline that was involved. he's had, he had told them either you help us now and i'm speaking about a days or weeks or your help will come too late. i want to speak to michael bossy of in a living. he's a senior fellow at the atlantic council. he's joining us now. so thank you very much indeed for being with us. the timeline that the ukrainian foreign minister was talking about seems to be absolutely key in all of this. oh absolutely and he
4:30 pm
correctly pointed out that he had spoken to a fellow foreign ministers in the past and they said well. busy we can help you now, but maybe we can help you in a couple of weeks or 3 weeks from now. and i was, you know, at the beginning of the war 40 some days ago. so the same thing keeps popping again . and again, is that nato allies are partners, sorry, allies of ukraine. well, promised weaponry, not right away, but maybe it may be later on down the line, but it's coming too late. in fact, i noted down a couple of comments mr. kohler but said he said, we need steps now to stop the russian war machine. and the other thing that really struck out at me, he said, boot is just the tip of the iceberg. mary oper will be much, much worse, and that help is coming to light. so you could, you know, i know mr. club, but he's a friend and i have never seen him actually, that's articulate and this emotional it. so it was really something to hear him speak. i want to ask you about the, the emotional because right towards the end of that press conference, he was specifically about the idea that he's has appeared,
4:31 pm
allegedly showing ukrainian soldiers killing russian soldiers. and i wrote a few notes as while about what he said he had heard about the video. ukrainian army observes the rules of warfare. there might be isolated violations. i have to check the dates, but then he talked about checking the date on that. i think we can hear that quote known as he was at it. you don't understand how it feels that after seeing pictures from boucher told came to people who escaped knowing that the person you know was raped for days at all. and when she finally made it to key, if she was directly taken to their psychiatrist, you don't understand how it feels that russian soldier of rape children
4:32 pm
i. this is not an excuse to those who violate the rules of warfare on either side of the front line. but there are some things which you simply can't understand. i'm sorry. let's take one. this is a situation that perhaps in the ukrainian president, the foreign minister, the other, those that are involved in negotiations with nato and g 7. i would imagine are having a finding frustrating to be able to articulate, to be able to demonstrate the level of feeling that there isn't ukraine with relations to incidents like butcher when it comes to the practicalities that the nato in the g 7 and other countries are facing in terms of supplying the weapons to fight the conflict in ukraine. absolutely. and you know, actually on your 1st question there, you know, i think if anything, and i'm definitely not a spokesperson for the current government. but if anything,
4:33 pm
we've seen nothing but compassion in very difficult circumstances from the ukraine inside. they have actually allowed captured russian troops to phone their mothers and russia to explain that they're still alive. and if i can give you another quick example, i mean, i had to watch this video 2 or 3 times yesterday, but a messenger because let's the ukrainian ambassador to the un. he had to correct the russian ambassador yesterday at the un security council meeting. because the russian ambassadors said, oh, our troops have been providing humanitarian aid to ukrainians. and he's he cited one specific example, but then ambassador corrected him and said, well, yes. and that example you cited. they provided humanitarian aid to someone in a basement. and then they threw a grenade inside the basement. so this is the type of counter propaganda coming from the russian side in terms of providing ukraine with weapons. you know, i've been here as you know for about 2 months now, and i'm hearing more and more ordinary ukrainians. equating what mr. columbus said,
4:34 pm
is that we feel that we are in this alone that were basically fighting a proxy war to defend nato's eastern flank. and that if these weapons do not come soon, the everything they are asking for. busy is going to be disaster here and more innocent women and children will die and i can't explain it, but it doesn't seem that that message is going through to the ears of natal leaders or even western leaders, or even president binder one of the statements that was made early by the ukrainian authorities just shortly after that video involving the russian soldiers appeared. was that this was a war people. i do understand that this was a conflict. this was a war. this is what happened in war. is there a situation in ukraine, however, may be losing, fought dare i say moral high ground that may have gains if the video is like this, continue to come out in the face of its obligations against russian troops and the
4:35 pm
actions that ukraine says. the russians have been committing against ukrainian people. i don't think so. and the reason for that is clear is that we're in 2022 in 2014. the russians were, i think, really had at their propaganda game. you remember that in july, shortly after july 17th 2014, when emma 17 was brought down by a russian missile. the russians claimed that the west had put corpses on that airplane, employed out over ukraine, and then shot it down. but i think now the world is much, much more aware of the techniques of the russians to put out the counter propaganda . and a lot of it is simply absurd. so there's a very, very different, i think, awareness. and that it's not that easily fall important than the other. quick thing, of course, is that propagating channels like russia today, a lot of the social media channel that people are familiar with coming from. oh,
4:36 pm
sure, i've been totally debunked in terms of being legitimate sources. sources of information, do you think that there is a legitimate accusation to be made against nature that it has misjudged the, the timeline of this call and say, this is clearly something that has frustrated the, the foreign minister who's referred to it directly. but do you think that given the level of intelligence that nato had beforehand that it's, that's misjudged the length of time that this conflicts in ukraine was going to take? oh, definitely. if they had properly charged what would happen? they would have arm to ukraine to the teeth, and they would have done things like supplied ukraine with sophisticated surfers to mentors. missiles that could bring down those, some russia, cruise missiles, the exact same ones that have struck around here and reveals the hypersonic misses that are divergent sugar and of course the creating army is now doing a better job. in fact, i think it was 2 nights ago,
4:37 pm
we had cruise missile strikes and right near where i sit here in the field. and the military was able to bring them down. but i just spoke to former ambassador chunk of the ukrainian foreign ministry and he said with more of these larger missiles coming towards ukrainian cities. and even though the ukrainian military is able to strike them down, the amount of debris that comes down from these metals are quite substantial and they could cause a lot more collateral damage. so i thought that was an interesting point. and i want to ask you about your assessment of the way that the russians are carrying out this, this invasion in the way that they're reshaping their, their forces. there's a lot of speculation that they pull back from cube. i mean, in fact, the foreign minister suggested that the russian forces full pulled back from camp. in fact, i'm going to interrupt you there. if you don't, my, we're going to go to moscow. russian, the form is the 2nd law for all the balconies foreign ministers who are going to be
4:38 pm
talking from moscow and russian. good afternoon. we had some substantial talks with regard to our by lead tro relations and regional issues. so we confirmed positions to, with regard to the dynamic development confirmed with the interest countries and revolves. we also had a delegation in training, december link cation avoids visited by, in can be also considered. and the little increasing fees, napoleon alva trade exchange and appreciated debt and debt cherish whole with regard to the image increasing and intensifying our

4:48 pm
a ceasefire between the 2 countries. and number of 3rd countries would be security guarantors. that in case there is any conflict or altercation between russian forces and ukrainian ones, those guarantors would come into play and assist in trying to de escalate attentions. now, the issue here is the say, a russian for mr says, according to the initial proposal that the ukrainians put forth a v. any kind of military exercises. the ukrainian army would carry out in the future with any other country would need the approval of those security guarantors that would include russia. now, this new proposal that they put forth doesn't have any mention of russia as part of those security guarantors. and that their approval would not be needed. this is something that is not acceptable to the russians, according to sir caleb roth as well. and in this new proposal put forth by key of the issue of crimea, which are russia annexed in 2014,
