a major invasion of a european country sense for war 2. and they see no signs of prudent is going to do anything to change that unless we resist and we help you create a resist. we all know where to stay. the very idea of sovereignty un charter food and thought he would weaken nato instead. he is trapped. the native i once said to him that we talk about the he was one of the see the, you know, europe end up being divided the and instead, what did he do? he produced more united europe with sweden and finland joining. so i don't see any reason to believe any of support. and as we reach out to our nato allies are sector defense sector state. we get continued support, not only there, but also from around the world from japan and many other countries as well. so i

feel very good about the solidarity of support for you. great, thank you for your question. thank you so much. you asked me what to do with the know i think i tell the worst things which are very important for me and i, and i think show that we have the same wellness and the same understanding of the life, the sense of the life my message. i wish you piece. i think that is the main thing . and you understand it only when the war in your country, when somebody like these terrorists from russia come to your house. and i wish you to see your children alive. an adult. and i wish you to see your children and they will go dean. and what's this and to see their children. i. i

think that is demanding what i can wish you. and of course, to be together with us, john lin. because we re a live fight for our common victory. again, this tyranny that is real life. and we will win. and i really won't win together. thanks so much. not want. sorry, i'm sure you call on one of your people. press person on the glass. come alinda. yeah, thank you. the metro notion can train and television. oh, prisoners last president biden. i got a question to both of you, but firstly, as ukraine and, and i mean it, i want to thank you now to states for supporting my country and you know, my family's in ukraine and i definitely understand they will not be alive to day if

america will not support my country both politically and militarily. so thank you for this. it's andrew. and as of my question, a witness to and you phase of this war and oh, you definitely discussed today which of the choose ah, how the war could come to and, and, and what's next? will it turn into a new contra offensive or some kind of piece talks? so mr. by the mr. laska, could you share your vision? what's the fair way to and this war and how do you understand this ward? so federal piece. thank you. my my view, your guy, i think we have i see it as well. i like very much. all right. ah lee bell and his patrol, it says that the you have started their question. i'm sorry, sometimes ice reach on my need, your plan and we but shall store,

shall you have started by stating that your family is in keith and without the assistance of the united states. this is absolutely true. the us leadership in this assistance is not strong. and again, i would like to remind you that your family will be in danger of without the armed forces of ukraine shirts, which a very important muscles that concerns your questions, which per se, ok, what would you like to hear? i just piece. i don't know. i don't know what just please is. it's a very philosophical description. if there is a just war, i don't know that and, and you know, for all of a,

just lease is different. yeah. for me, as the president just piece is no compromise isn't as to the sovereignty of freedom and territorial integrity of my country. but he's got the payback for all the damages inflicted by russian aggression. oliver, i'm sorry i'm reminding, i'm talking about children a lot today, but as a father is nice, i would like to emphasize you know how many, how many barons lost their son, the daughter is on the front line. so what this just piece for them? plenty money if you got nothing, you could do my and know think compensations or reparation. r o, o, o g of no consequence. they live by revenge. i think they

have tremendous tragedy and the longer the war for the last, like the longer this aggression less will be more to errands who live for the sake of vengeance. he has already range and i know a lot of like that was part of a liberal so they can be any just he's in the war that was imposed by these i, i don't know how to describe that because we're in the white house and i can't find the proper language. so these in the humans, i would say let me respond. i think we have the, we share the exact same vision and that free independent, prosperous and secure ukraine is division. we both want this ward and we both went in. and as i've said, it could end a day of putting,

had any dignity on did the right thing and just said, pulled out. but that's not going to happen. not going to happen is not going to happen now. so what comes next? we talked about today was we're going to clean to help grand succeed on the battlefield. that can succeed in the battlefield with our help and the help of our european allies and others. so that if and when the presence lensky is ready to talk of the russians, he will be able to succeed as well, because he will have one in the battlefield. and, you know, i, i don't think we should underestimate the impact this wards have you, non russia and the losses they're suffering. and you saw just, i think, was 2 days ago saying that this is much tougher than he thought. he thought he could break nato. he thought he could break the west. he thought he could break the lines. he thought he could. we welcome by the ukrainian people that were russian

speaking. he was wrong, wrong in wrong. you continue to be wrong. the sooner he makes it is clear that he cannot possibly win this war. that's when the time we have to put this president in a position to be able to decide how he wants more. my turn. phil madeline. mamma, we have cnn. thank you miss president. welcome, this president. present to start with you. your visors often talk about how important, how critically important you view face to face interaction. i'm wondering after spending 2 plus hours face to face with president to lensky. what you learned or what you took from the meeting that perhaps you couldn't glean or learn and the phone calls or video conferences in somewhat tied to that. was there any discussion related to the you assessments that russia would not take ethical, tory action? now the patriots are being sent will be delayed,

patriot battery will be delivered. let me answer the 1st question. the 1st part of crushes, you know, i get a kid for saying that there. so all politics is personal. it's all about, look, and some of the i, and i mean sincerely, i don't think there's any, any, any substitute for sitting down face to face with a friend or foe and looking them in the eye. and that's exactly what's happening at this moment. we've done that more than words we're going to continue to do it as a winner is setting in futon is increasingly going after civilian targets and women and children, orphanages. this guy is well but, but he's going to fail and he's going to fail. he's already failed because he now knows that there's no way he's ever going to occupy all of ukraine. there's no way in which he is going to be accepted by the great people. and so he's failed in the past and was him very important for him and everyone else to see the presence

whiskey and i are united to countries together to make sure he can not succeed. and i think i may be mistaken, but i know i judge every leader by the way, they what they say to me, their consistency and look, i mean, you know, this guy has to, his very soul is who he says he is, it's clear who he is. he's willing to give his life for his country and all the folks who are with came with him today. and so i think it's, he isn't important for him to know. we are going to do everything in our power. everything in our power and see the sixty's. what was the 2nd part of the question or just asked if you discussed how the u. s. calculated the ethical, tory effect of sending and patriot missile battery to you. i did not discuss that at all with, with the president, but i, we do not is defensive systems. it's

a defensive weapon system. it's not asking latoria is defensive, and it's easy to know, and we'd love to not have to have the music. just stop the attacks as well as he again, welcome. one mentioned earlier that you'd want to make this trip for a while now. why now? and also can you tell me what you think the message you are sending to president putin is given the fact that 24 hours ago you are on the ground in the front lines with artillery echoing behind you. and now you find yourself in the white house standing next to the president. joe, thank you very much for your question. just to you message for slug, what is the best such for poaching? just the usual i am standing here in the united states with president biden on the same podium level because i respect him

a m. s person because as a president, as being for his own position. and for me, i'm wondering if this is a historic moment. i can send messages to president bite, and for example, if it's not serious, you said what's going to happen after patriots are installed. after that, we will send another signal to president biden. would you that we would like to get more patriots? ah, we're, we're not like we are in war. i'm sorry. i'm really sorry. that is my appreciation. just to say, a general president putin deducing to within 2019 nasa one. we had a norman team meeting in 2019. i became the president of ukraine and at that time we were standing maximum messages to president,

poor gentleman telling him that there shouldn't be a full scale innovation to stop aggression, to renew our territory and career territorial integrity to provide diplomatic solution. oh, god forbid, we should not have a full scale war at that time. will you said it won't happen. he was lying. so what kind of message i can send him after he actually yeah. m as in zebra. okay. even if you destroyed our life is destroying our life, he can even go further. some were where are the soviet union's e date before there? so he might want to innovate those territories to. i believe that there is something more told about his in that liquid approach to the why we need to send him a message. he needs to be interested in getting attention from the world. because he is not the subject of civilized people. he should be interested in trying to say

something, his culture and history of his country. so that's his problem. now god, and this will be the last question. or you could let me go once a form to be channel. when's a full scale invasion of started us officials said that you, crean cannot receive better because as you said, it might be unnecessary escalation. and now it is happening right now. today. it is happening and now you cream desperately need smoking capabilities, including a long range missiles. a talk comes. maybe i found me, but can we make a long story short and give you cream, all capabilities it needs and liberate, alter a tourist around the sooner than later. thank you. his answer is

yes. i agree. may be straightforward and work. the fact is, that is important to remember that before russia invaded, we dedicated an enormous amount of security assistance, ukraine and, and we've given ukraine what they needed when they needed to defend themselves. incense, the invasion that has resulted more than $20000000000.00 in terms of security assistance. just today. i approved another $1800000000.00 in additional assistance ukraine for to succeed on the battlefield. and we're focused on working with allies

and partners to generate capability in for key areas. air defense as know, as you know today, the patriot is the best of that. secondly is to and we're looking to do more. we provided hundreds of advanced artillery systems and dozens of from dozens of countries. thirdly, we work with partners to get ukraine tanks and other arm and vehicles. and fourthly, we renounce today another $200000.00 rounds of additional ammunition. you say, why don't we just give you grain? everything here is to give what for 2 reasons. one, there's an entire alliance that is critical to stay with ukraine. and the idea that we would give ukraine material that is fundamentally different than already going. there would have a prospect of breaking up nato and breaking up the european union and the rest of the world. we're going to give you a crane, what it needs to be able to defend itself,

to be able to succeed and succeed in the battlefield. and the other piece of this is your re, recall. one of the reasons why i have spent, i won't tell you the calculation, but i've spent several 100 hours face to face with our european allies in the heads of state of those countries and making the case is why was overwhelming their interest that they continue to support ukraine. they understand it fully, but they're not looking to go to war with russia, not looking for a 3rd world war. and i think it can all be avoided by making sure that ukraine is able to succeed in the battlefield. so anyway, there's more to say, but i probably already said too much. thank you. well, thank you all very, very much appreciate your time and attention. and as i said, mister president, you don't have to worry. we are staying with ukraine as long as ukraine is there.

thank you all the ending that to a news conference there after the meeting between the 2 of them at the white house, the president biden saying that the u. s. support for ukraine would last as long as it takes and announcing that package of measures, including $1850000000.00 insecurity assistants, which includes a patriot missile defense system, which she said was a defensive system. and it wasn't escalate re zelinski on his part. thanks the president for support and the u. s. and also said that the patriot missile system with significant strength and countries air defenses, it's bringing an fisher who's life for the white house. so as a kind of wide reggie news conference there. but the support from the u. s. a very much being reiterated in on a big a big way. i think, to the most important things i took her of that news conference were. first of all, in his initial remarks, joe biden talked about at the need for negotiation, and he seemed to stop going too far on that issue. so it's clear the idea of some

sort of negotiated piece i had been discussed in the certainly pressure from some people who believe that ludovic zaleski needs needs to look for a diplomatic offer. up. there's going to be some way that he can stop the war. but when he made his comments laudermill zalinski me that absolutely clear what his solution would be at a complete integra torey, a complete territorial integrity or for a ukraine, its sovereignty to be recognized and reparations to be paid for the damage that had been cause. so the idea that he is willing to rule back on those things when he's talked about them for several months, there's absolutely no way that is going to happen. i think was clear as well that vladimir zalinski said a there was a negotiation. so he came here with a shopping list, he wants to get more weapons from the united states. that the patriots is something that they had talked about. that's a defensive miss. our system,

excuse me. he's walking away with a system that will help in that. but he made it clear, you know, he asked for patriots and he will come back. i'll ask for more patriots. he clearly wants more, but the united states is seeing very carefully look, this is a defensive system. and they want to make that absolutely clear that what they're providing are defensive weapons. and we've had vladimir putin just in the last couple of hours. say, look, we were willing to discuss peace. but 1st of all, other countries have got to stop providing weapons to ukraine. and so a, it's clear that at the united states wants to keep helping ukraine as much as it can. but it's also making clear these are for the defense of ukraine. these are not offensive weapons are the thing that was clear. but the support as you see, hey lauren, is there, it's unwavering and he says to some up, we are going to be there for ukraine as long as your crane is there. and so this was, i think, a significant,

an important meeting for vladimir the landscape. let him use the landscape, but it's clearly important for joe biden to meet the man who is picking a great deal of american resource over the last 300 days. and we'll take a great deal of resource in the coming month as well. protect coming months as well, particularly as there's this 40000000000 allocation sitting waiting to be approved by congress, which is where loading years. alaska will be heading next. allan fisher. thank you very much. indeed. well, as washington prepared to welcome lensky, the russian president vladimir putin approved a proposal to increase the strength of the armed forces by 30 percent between defense officials on wednesday routine insisted there are no financial limits on what his government would provide to the military, the criminal says there's no chance of peace talks with ukraine as long as western countries continue to supply it with it fails long. the serving prime minister

benjamin netanyahu says he has secured a last minute deal to form a new government. yahoo was facing a midnight deadline local time to arrange a coalition. if all is weeks of tough negotiations with religious and far right coalition partners. mcbride report. ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha! since his election victory, 7 weeks ago, benjamin netanyahu has been bogged down in tough negotiations to form a new israeli government. the right wing the could leader was granted a 10 day extension of his mandate to form a government which he has needed. yeah, it's quite remarkable. and a little bit hard to fathom. he won a decisive election victory way back on november. the 1st we knew exactly who the allies would be in his coalition. they ran as a block, i guess he would say it's been really hard. they been driving a really tough bargain, but from the outside it looks like he projected and bizarre weakness, and this is made for a very complicated process. netanyahu has formed an alliance with leaders who until

now have been considered on the fringes of the political spectrum limit like it to my bank via convicted of supporting a terrorist organization and racist incitement. he will become police minister with expanded powers to control the force betsel else motrin will be given ministerial responsibility for the illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. he has long lobbied for their expansion as well as control over palestinian construction there and area dairy, who is still serving a suspended sentence for tax fraud and who needed a change in the law to allow him to become minister. the question for many is whether netanyahu can keep these partners in check. i mean, the, what he said is, trust me. i am running the show here. but if you look at the way he's negotiated his coalition, they've certainly had, they've made their influence felt, and you have to assume that will continue to be the case. i made fears that already

combustible tension could flare out of control. palestinian seemed to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any path toward peace. critics, the coalition speculate that some of its more hard line members might welcome a violent palestinian response to justify further crackdowns on the occupied west bank and gaza. what's clear is with the unprecedented makeup of this government, israeli politics entering you and uncharted territory. robert bride al jazeera west jerusalem. peruse president d r t a has carried out a major cabinet. re shuffle hours after winning congress is approval to bring forward elections to april 2024. she's appointed a new prime minister, and the finance minister and early poll is one of the protest as demands following the arrest of former president petro casteel, roo, seen widespread demonstrations and violence since castillo was impeached and
