everything is under control. but also this city is also quite protective of his students in the city center. i spoke to one person who said while he was not directly affected as b as he is not a student of university, he felt an overwhelming sense of worry as this is a small town, though popular, and he is concerned for what may come in the future and that concern will remain until more answers are found as to what happened at the lecture hall earlier this afternoon. w reporters, stephanie a burnett reporting on developments in that fatal shooting at heidelberg university . thank you for now. we present now to our other top story nato allies have put forces on stand by amid spiraling tensions between russia and western nations over a possible invasion of ukraine. the alliance is sending more ships and fighter jets to bolster defenses in eastern europe. russia has mast,

an estimated 100000 troops near ukraine's border. our report is in moscow, and kiev spoke to people there to gauge opinions on the tensions between their 2 countries. first, let's take a listen to people and the ukrainian capital will need to she will move burnberry. i am very worried. listen, you things are not easy in our country at this moment, but i hope the diplomats can find an agreement and that there will be peace in ukraine if you would agree. okay. but you know, of course i'm worried there are people living here and they are in danger. yoga mostly. i think nothing will happen is just the usual french from the big bonded next door. which will bandito national cecilia metal from trinity buffoon. there's nothing we can do. i have to walk, can feed my family. i don't have time to think about what i will do if something happens with your good news. that was your key. i have friends in kiev,

joe and i love ukraine. are you? i'm against war, govern, voice roster. bismark him a war would be pointless. there wouldn't be one. all we see right now is an attempt to worldwide to heat up the atmosphere at an attempt by certain people to make others believe that one site is planning to attack the other. no, ma'am, when you got josefa, we don't want war. ukraine is a brother nation for us militia. so why war? this is a political fight, not the but it describe, but when was good, my president's here and over there. do you have something in their heads? at least they don't seem empty. so war won't happen. you wouldn't all the while the european union says it's ready to impose never seen before. economic sanctions. should russia the site invade ukraine? you foreign ministers meeting in brussels, so they want to double financial assistance to ukraine. the group is also holding talks via video with the u. s. secretary of state equivalent denies that it's

planning and invasion, accusing the west of quote, escalating the conflict ryan arts, but to cook her is a member of germany's green party. he is an e lawmaker and sits on the foreign affairs committee, sir. welcome back to dw news. germany now finds itself in the eye of the storm, of discussions in the tenses of geopolitical tensions in europe for quite some time . for international viewers, can you explain where does germany stand right now on the ukraine? russia issue. the german government is very clear in expressing solidarity with our friends in ukraine. and very clear in warning, the russian president of escalating the president, entrance and germany a hoss expressed, clear support for a coherent share,

western strategy. all law trying to deter the russian leadership from going to war against you came by signaling that there will be unseen economic sanctions. if that happens, i think germany lately house an own interest and an obligation to show this level of solidarity. now sir, one of the most urgent issues right now is of course the question of whether or not to help arm ukraine so we can defend itself. jeremy continues to decline to do so. what you make of that position. well. busy i think there have been a couple of arguments against providing arms to ukraine that i would not chair of some have argued that this should be

a prevent it for historical reasons. that of course alludes to the 2nd world war and the aggression of nazi germany against the soviet union. but i would emphasize that the ukrainian people suffered at least as much under this aggression as the russian people eat. so we have an obligation towards both of them to all keep the peace if we can. on the other hand, i would argue that at the moment it is more important to focus on preventing a situation where the arms might be helpful. we want to fight the exit of the mounting tensions without resorting to military means. and i think emphasizing that and investing everything we can all that angle is

a worthy contribution. were the contribution? none. the less diplomatic efforts have floundered. how likely is it that germany will have to take on a more muscular approach when it comes to russia, something that its allies wants it to do? i think for all of us, germany, european allies, the united states, there is the same on task ahead. and that's not an easy one. we have to show cleared the termination to defend our friends from ukraine without escalating the tensions. this is not simple. this also requires patience. i am strictly opposed to the opinion that the diplomacy has failed. diplomacy still has

a task to deliver and we should not r b. i'm impatient with that in that regard. but if push comes to show, it is clear with germany stance. half these tensions and conclusions sir exposed germany's achilles heel, that germany have a massive problem when it comes to being too dependent on russian gas deliveries. and this is something that is not going to go away according to a study that i mandated a couple of years ago from the deutscher institute of the shots are fossil in berlin. germany is less dependent on russian energy supplies than many other european nations. i think it's a myth to assume that germany is acting out of dependency. i

believe that germany should man up and clearly put the north stream to pipeline all the table a we should not shy dock from clearly signalling to the russian leadership that in case they are scenting their troops across the ukrainian border . a knew that this pipeline would be stop together with a wide array of other economic measures germany war lot shy. back from that i'd, i'd prefer as a member of germany's green party you while maker, and also says on the foreign affairs committee, sir, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. thank you for having me. concern is going that a crew is underway in the west african nation of burkina faso mutinous soldiers are
