russia threatens more strikes as the war in ukraine seems close to a new turning point. the escalation came after the bombing of the cursed bridge, linking rushes mainland to the crimea. he is now seeking more military aid. so what direction will this will take next? this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm tom a cry. russia launched a wave of missile strikes on several regions of ukraine this week, killing at least 20 people. the capital key was among cities targeted for the 1st time in months. ukraine's military says it shot down 41 of 75 muscles, but that wasn't enough to stop the destruction. its energy minister says russian

muscles have had around 30 percent of the countries electricity infrastructure over the past few dies. around $300.00 areas were knocked off the power grid. the mayor of the western city of lavell says it will take months to repair energy facilities there. will those strikes happened and response to an attack? last week on the coach bridge, lincoln crimea to the russian mainland. russia security service says it's arrested 8 people. it's federal security services. the blast was organized by ukraine's military intelligence service. the explosion destroyed a section of the ridge cave hasn't said whether it was involved and g. 7 leaders held a virtual meeting to discuss what they called their unwavering commitment to ukraine . they promised they would hold russian president vladimir putin to account for the missile attacks ukrainian president below them is lensky asked the group to supply

keith with a defense weapons. he's described it as his number one priority now. yeah, just one that i thank you for all the help already provided it is big, it is significant. but the russian leader, who was now in the final stage of his rain, still has room to through the escalation. this possibility is a threat to all of us, but we can overcome the threat. we have a formula for pace. and now reacting to russian terror, shame, referenda, and the attempt to enix our territory. we can apply the pace formula so that the terror state stands no chance enough. ah, well let's bring in our gifts now in strasbourg, alexi gone sharika. he is a member of the ukrainian parliament and the ukrainian delegation to the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, from geneva, alexander vor. trevor's editor in chief of swift,

military review and security and defense policy enlist and from moscow, andre backline of vice chair of the association of russian diplomats, and the former russian ambassador to saudi arabia. a warm welcome to you will. thank you very much for being on the program. it's 1st to begin with. what's happened so far before we move on to how things might play out from here. just in regards to the latest strikes on ukraine, over the last 48 hours or so on. tried like to begin with you, the russian ministry of defense, the goal of the strikes was achieved and to quote all designated objects were hit. so can you explain one missile hitting a children's playground in cave was that a designated object was a legitimate target. well actually. busy course the, the targets are only the major i

should be sure just. busy bring it in for service british but also i would want to say bridge or bridge actually only would be you so much because. busy there were many people many people criticizing. busy duration for snow skis you know this saying that the domain then then they said. busy it was without you know. busy well,

reasonable for the decision taken by the president to attack these last major city and it was meant to kill innocent people, but everything just happened in the war people will do. and so what happened was some sort of the war. okay, well i went back there searches unintentionally each each day intentionally the lenient site and then it started public and other regions are which many, many people are dying each day,

do do well and they're making these bench that's out of the better side of the store. and booking i alexi your countrymen and women and living through these is trucks, many who haven't been attacked in months like even levine, haven't had it strikes since near the beginning of the war. so how difficult is it watching on and has it rattled the public there? do you think? first of all, i want to add to what i heard. 910 people were killed. no one of them is the army officer, old soldier, though very interesting. designated military targets russian, russia has russia, the terrorist states, that's all. and which is the we to, we know where you're grania an army, so he takes revenge on ukrainian women and children in their residence before cities. that's the reality for sure. we are very much concerned about what had

happened. that was a brutal attack on the infrastructure energy infrastructure. it's very interesting to, at least in that it was a ritual asian for something for what russia is making war against the grain from 2014. then the full scale invasion from february 24. so what your donation they're looking for. they just make in colonial. busy aggressive work, that's all about. yes, people are concerned about. now we can hope that this will cause planning. can ukraine, but it's not the case. the ukrainians are already prepared. we know with we deal. we understand that for us to show, we didn't want to wipe, wipe out your brain from the map of the planet. you're committing genocide and russia genocide against the grain. now when you buy a territory, so we're, we're not panic. we, we understand we are confident in our victory now. so we are rebuilding everything

we need and are sure where address and draw our partners and at least to provide your grant with more weapon rate to stop this, jerry. ok. alexander, do you think that these latest strikes you crying about hitting, legitimate military targets, or is it about scaring the ukrainian population to remain neutral after these 2 periods of comments? i'll just remind you of what international law and conventions say targeting deliberately, civilian infrastructure or critical infrastructure such as sewage, informations, or electrical power plants that are going to be necessary for life and health. so civilian population, noncombatants, it's technically a war crime. so i can only stress that it is very and most unfortunate that such collateral damage has taken place. what i do see with regard to the

latest strikes from russia is 2 things. first of all, both sides are now extending the battle and fighting very, very much deeper into terra, into the land territory. far away from the front lines the ukrainians are doing this because they're offensive, either in the north or in the south. it's now closer and closer to the russian border, and they are targeting logistical supply for russian forces. and on the other side, russia is now targeting targets or infrastructure deep within western ukraine. because russia seals that this is where the ukranian army building up and training. it's consecrated receiving new war. and so i can only say that both sides are actually extended the area that they are striking with

their long range weapons. ok, let's take it back just into, i guess what? brought on the latest round of it strikes the, the attack on the crimea bridge, the curse bridge. now, andre russia claimed this bridge was impenetrable. to attack, it was a jewel and putins crown. so what happened and how embarrassing is this to russia will bless them visions, i'm sure the sort of measure when people are well now i think what we can expect into last time that it will be real change of the situation. since all of us

the nation with a deep i mean these are the percentage of damage to the business worrying warnings and these are the start of the the new new the much demand will be. busy no less than 2 months. john, when the regiments coming to the us, we should do that. we bring exactly as many as you go from the nazi not over. busy origin no german origin was liberated at the 2nd was was 20 times your. busy the one did you know you started

a very, very limited. busy number of the, of the, of the 6 are much managed than the revenue train. okay. great. and so limited duration, it might be that the staff will be more, wants to go. okay. well, you know, russia has said that ukrainian security services are responsible for blowing up the crimea bridge. alexander perkins called negative tara, what do you think happened? how do you think this bridge was attack so successfully? you know, one of my excuse of 1st study in academia was military and political is. and what i can say is it will take some months and perhaps years in order to figure out what exactly happened. what we can say is that the official, a story that has been told of

a truck carrying exclusives and producing this kind of damage. this official version does not to does not hold up the munitions that were necessary in order to produce this kind of damage or either large bombs. we're talking about several 100 kilos. were we are talking about to liberate a special forces attacks. so whatever has actively happens in order to cut that bridge, the official story that we have been told of a truck blowing up is not correct. in any case, ukraine has now demonstrated on at least 2 occasions that they have the ability to strike deep behind the lines of russian troops. and this is extremely worrisome for the russian war effort. because the train, for example, that called fire, that was stuck for more than a day on this particular bridge and was carrying 1600000 liters of fuel. this is

the kind of fuel that is necessary to sustain military operations in the south and the car san region for 2 days. so we're definitely what we can expect very soon is to see ukrainian troops mount offensive in bazaar each and care song area to try and gain an advantage from the stolen i was the russian forces in the south . like let's just move on slightly to what you train us asking for. now the g 7, a nice oh it a discussing what more can do to help ukraine? let's see a lisky. in fact, i am not. her secretary general has said it was a top priority, so how heartening is it to, to hear that help is on the why and what exactly are you asking for? are you getting enough? yeah, 1st of all, we are very thankful for all the support we are receiving and answering your question is that enough is simple enough will be when there will be final victory

on the battlefield. that will be enough. and today we have a unique window of opportunity. what i mean for ukraine in the end of march would have been read that we have today. hi marcy, hope it serves then everything, all of these were wouldn't be finished in the spring. because when russian forces were retreating from ki, foster failed britsky bad towards the moment for us to show them. but unfortunately, at the moment we had not with about 2 pitches. and then they changed the tactics. replenish, refresh, started the 1st world war and style warfare range war with a lot of for tillery just destroying new food and into rubble ukrainian cities. now, now we have again, the moments you for your grain today now will receive long range missiles to hi mar . busy around 10 to because for the moment we. 3 haven't received any one less than

we could finish everything in 2 weeks. i really believe in the birth 123, and more military defeats for region would not survive, administer a catastrophe near you. after their catastrophe and your son region, they, these region is shaking. and this is the moment to finish it. ok, alex and you are a military expert. do you agree with that? that would be over in weeks if you cry and got everything it was asking for. no, i do not believe so, but i believe that i have lost tremendous amounts of personnel and in particular materials, both sides have lost more than 50 percent of the equipment which they have started confrontation. what we are seeing, however, is that russia is trying to move military equipment out of it. stocks out of its reserves to modernize it is also mobilizing troops and sending these troops in

tobacco with very, very little training. and on the other side, you have the ukrainian military forces have been able to not only stop the rock in advance, but they have been able, in several areas to make deep counter attack stripes within the russian lines that are now completely destabilizing the front class. so what i would say is that we are speak ukrainian military being refurbished with more and more nato. and i would not be so optimistic, but i would definitely say in spring of next year, the ukrainian military will not look as it does today, it will have more and more nato or western. and also the troops that it has mobilized in february and march, and the goal and here have now received a lot of very good training. and so the balance is now shifting and the ukrainian

military forces is gaining. it has not always stronger in terms of numbers, but also in terms of quality compared with russian forces. just sticking with weapons and the most destructive of all nuclear weapons have been talked about more in the last week or so than probably through the rest of the war combined. joe biden said the risk of nuclear i'm a given is the highest in 60 years. andre, you are in russia. do you agree with that statement? doesn't feel like we're potentially on the brink of and you, claire war actually love region, although it's really explored newer, very want to 100 percent. yes. busy did you believe the brand is just a definition of loss, but unfortunately,

unfortunately the game show more and more ration as soon as the next just beats the defeating the lives. busy the promises that the rest of the doctors are going to do. they don't want. busy to be real about you know, just to bring big kids want to do so this will be one of the so why we did not. busy do many or citizens are such member of the, of the development of this is also something else. that's what we're discussing.

it's not just the new ration. so this is all for interests for her is like my mother who's been it's been wrong to the brain and. busy so well, you know, because of the situation very not prevents development of the specialist and that i can get a war. okay. before we finish, i just want to talk briefly about diplomacy because there's been a lot of tough talk from all sides, especially ukraine as well. so lensky city is not going to negotiate with person. alexi. do you think that there is any space at all the negotiations?

and when do you think that could begin? first, you know, russian representative is saying that they're not using all their mind, but the question is, what, for, in this case, they're making mobility. ation in that country grow, which hundreds of thousands of them are running away from russia. that's like a port fills of their regime when russians are running from russia, listening about bleeding hearts from the what's happening. so you, they acumen up and saying that they're hot the bleeding. wow, it's something very impressive. speaking about diplomacy, it's very clear. fujen caught all ways to diplomacy. he destroyed it with this decision to accept our territory and to known supreme territory russian. nobody in the world accepted this so called shamrock. brenda. nobody will ever accept it and we're about to watch. we can negotiate today. we will never give up our territories . we will come come to leave millions ukrainians under genocide. so the only way

now for us it's really great our land. so we are ready to any negotiation any moment, but about in russia retreating from our territory. we don't want any inch for us and territory, but we will never give up any each of ours. does that include crime in for sure. grey means ukraine internationally recognized by the whole world and by russia. russia during the 27 years before the 2nd graham year, many, many time, 23 years story. a signed document that they recognized that ukraine, the crimea ukraine, and they recognized our borders many times. and also they gave a guarantee 1994. when we voluntarily gave up the biggest nuclear arsenault in the world for the 1st time, and human needs 3, under the guarantees that they will never attack up. but you see what does it cost? russian guarantees and date. andre, just very briefly,

persons mentioned that he may be open to meeting with us president joe biden. how serious is he and how likely do you think that is to happen? well, actually should be something over in the meeting, but i'm not quite sure, but we don't, we don't we grant any any, any other positions? and now we're in the central, in each of the on the side of the 3, if you just various limited brougham for all the us. russians a successful negotiations over several situations who prevailed in the last thank you very much to allow guests alexi gone sharika, alexandra, vo,
