putin is focused on winning this war. he will not stop on his own. the more time he has, the worse the conditions become. you know very well that putin was does not value people and rules. he values only money and power. these are the things we must take away from him to restore peace. our russia editor — steve rosenberg — examined a short statement released from the russian defence ministry earlier today. according to the statement, and this is moscow claiming that six us made atacms missiles were fired at russia�*s bryansk region early today, the russians say that five of them were shot down, one was damaged, and that debris struck some kind of facility, some kind of installation there, that there was a fire and that there were no casualties. that is it. as far as the statement goes,
3:03 pm
no reaction from, um, from the kremlin yet to that, but obviously significant because the kremlin had made it clear, uh, months ago, actually, that it would consider the use of western long range missiles, uh, against russian territory as basically meaning that nato countries were were fighting russia. but as i say at the moment, that�*s all we have to go on this short statement from the from the russian defence ministry earlier today, in another development, changes were announced in russia�*s nuclear doctrine. that�*s the document that kind of sets out in what circumstances moscow might consider using a nuclear weapon. and these changes were in the pipeline. it�*s not so much a surprise, but clearly this is also designed to send a message from moscow to the west that, you know, take us seriously. leaders of the world�*s biggest economies — at the 620 summit in brazil —
3:04 pm
are calling for a �*comprehensive, just and durable peace�* in ukraine. our deputy political editor, vicki young has been travelling with the uk prime minister. behind the scenes for several weeks our understanding is that the british government have been pushing for these american and uk missiles to be used on russian targets. he won�*t comment on any of this. he is sticking to the line that he has been saying for quite a long time now, which is that of course the uk is fully behind ukraine, today being the south and stay since the conflict started. he was really reiterating that message. and saying that it was up to russia to end this conflict and they are the anyone�*s who can in this conflict because they are the aggressor. i�*m this conflict because they are the aggressor.— this conflict because they are the aggressor. i'm not going to no into the aggressor. i'm not going to go into operational— the aggressor. i'm not going to go into operational matters - go into operational matters because there is only when we know if i do that and that is
3:05 pm
putin and it would undermine ukrainian efforts are not going to do that. here at the g20 and for many many weeks i have been making the case that we signed with ukraine for as long as it needs and we must put ukraine in the strongest position to wind this war. it impacts ukraine but it impacts all of us and rupture much not be allowed to wind this war. —— russia must not be allowed to wind this war.— wind this war. what we don't know is about _ wind this war. what we don't know is about the _ wind this war. what we don't know is about the sanction . wind this war. what we don't| know is about the sanction of uk made missiles. the prime minister is not willing to talk about that and is going as far as he canjust about that and is going as far as he can just say that ukraine should have exacted what it once for as long as it wants to wind this conflict. let me bring you the latest because there are some questions about
