8:10 am
a great mistake, while washington insists the y p g is crucial for its fight against thyself. seen am casala al jazeera and kara came stands ukraine stands and democracy stands. that was a message from you as president joe biden. as he made an unannounced visit to the ukrainian capital just days before the 1st anniversary of the conflict, cha, stratford reports of the days of speculation and no doubt, weeks of planning us president joe biden arrived in the ukrainian capital q nearly a year to the day russia invaded the white house, it had been basic communication with moscow just before the visit to ensure what it called the conflict taishan. to avoid a miscalculation that could lead to open conflict between the 2 nuclear powers.
8:11 am
ah, an air raid siren wailed across the city as the 2 men walked near saint michael's cathedral. not uncommon when world leaders have visited keith since the war began. you as president described the night of the invasion when he called the ukrainian leader zalinski. he admitted he had feared russia could quickly take control of all of ukraine that dark night. one year ago. the world was lonely at the time bracing for the fall cave. seemed like a lot longer ago than a year. but think back that year. perhaps even the end of ukraine, you know, one year later keith, stan and ukraine says democracy stays, the american stand with you. and the world stands with you. widen announced an
8:12 am
additional half a $1000000000.00 in usaid, but there was no mention of new advanced weaponry such as long range missiles. the zalinski says his forces need ukrainian president stretched again. there will be no peace until ukraine liberates all its territory. a promise that is among many military analysts and some of ukraine's allies, increasingly unrealistic as the vast cost of this war and its global effects continues to grow, or is malia condition oblivion offers finance. but it was the conversation that indeed brings closer our joints victory in this war. so we can and we must ensure that 2023 becomes the year of victory, which i want underlying that, this unprovoked and criminal russian war against ukraine. and then tied democratic world much and with the liberation of ukrainian land from russian occupation, and with solid guarantees of long term security for our country, europe an entire world with you as president's 1st visit to ukraine almost exactly
8:13 am

a tight lid on the news, even issuing biden's schedule for how you would spend monday in washington in the cross, even as he was travelling half a world away. the america stands with you. and the world stands with you. keys has captured a part of my heart. i must say. it's not unusual for presidents to make trips to conflict zones. rock obama did it in afghanistan, donald trump, iraq. but both times the u. s. controlled the air space. ah, that's what made biden's trip more dangerous. that's why the white house told the russians just hours before to avoid any mishaps which could spark a bigger problem on the ground. the security had to be unbelievable by the ukrainians because the u. s. doesn't have a military presence in ukraine, and so you've got air defense security to worry about. you got these possible elements on the ground. and it required that the shutting down a sent you a key of to traffic off for a couple of hours. ah,
8:15 am
when he traveled to poland last year, president biden was reportedly keen to cross the border, but was overruled by his secret service. the people who protect him this time with more notice they could make it work. security will be ramped up here when joe biden makes a major address to mock the 1st anniversary of the ukraine war. but no matter what he says, what will be remembered more than the speech is the visit that came before it. allan fisher al jazeera war, so let's not start to come here now. does air including we tell you why residence in ohio skeptical a small town of east palestine. amen. water is safe and we live in a new british report that examines the disparity between black and white people who died after being restrained on a police mana st. ah .
