making heels guns and he has his arm from the bottom of my heart. let me say that the terrible suffering of the men, women, and children, their anger, cuts us to our heart. so he are shocked and horrified at what is being done to the people of ukraine once again. but we are not powerless fuel we, i'm not going to leave you alone with this vicious aggression on your country. you know, he is kind keep them in this in war is not a war of the people of russia. this is putin's war. did he give an end of this war? eden is an attack on our peace in europe with this war is an attack on our freedom

. this war is an attack on international law. this war is an attack on all values of an international structure of dealing with one another. it is an attack on peaceful coexistence, the among peoples. it is a war that makes it necessary for us to know entirely re think the foundations of our foreign policy just a few weeks ago regarding weapons exports. i said that our foreign policy turn of about turn as you like is something we can change when the moment comes. and alas, the moment has now come, well, it is like we he waited as long as we could to me for this. we carried out diplomatic efforts, as long as we could, the kremlin, lied to us, and made ridiculous every thing that we had pushed for as europeans putin wanted.

this war, whatever it takes, have you, which pixels i'm russia attacked you, crane ruthlessly. and ukraine, like any country in this world, has a right to defend itself. this is in the chart of the united nations on view. you often warden and we as far got experience based on the foundation of international law, have a duty to get my support and defend this chart of the united nations together afterwards. perhaps it is the case form with that not germany has been particularly careful and reticent in the past about international involvement . the rules that we set ourselves as germany cannot be used to relinquish us from

our responsibilities. if we find ourselves in a completely different world, our policy must keep up with us. along with our napoleon is a country with a parliamentary, approved army, and democratic scrutiny can and must allow itself. and we are doing that from to day when it comes to questions of peace and war to make decisions based on full responsibility to lancaster, weapons exports and military operations. we will continue to be reticent and careful. but when put in a tax ukraine, we must support ukraine, which are all apart from our major economic and humanitarian support for ukraine. we will now also deliver military material and weapons to ukraine, so it can defend itself

via you do have new excite, you know, needs to be because we cannot leave ukraine at the mercy of at the mercy of its aggressor, re king havoc and murder on this country and i want to thank all of you because that is the strength of our liberal democracy that we can wage disputes with one another one. but when it comes down to defending our basic values across all parliamentary groups, we join forces. thank you for that. good, but if you meant we are doing that because it's about my people's lives because our international structures are political structures are called into question. we're doing it in a com reflected manner to defend peace and europe. and this is also

a clear message. we are sending to vladimir putin, the price of this war, waged against innocent people, and this flagrant breach of the united nations. i will be in unbearably high for bruton. we're missing the 2nd one is we must and the german chancellors emphasize this, do many things at once. we need to ensure that the people in ukraine are supplied with what they need with medical aids with safe places to stay a roof roofs over their heads. we have contribution to the humanitarian un emergency fund. we have added 5000000 to that for the international red cross community. we have work with a committee. rather we have put 10000000 hours into that fund with everything we have. we will work towards and showing that the people who of forced to flee their homes, that every single one of them get

a safe roof over their heads. and we have prepared for that. that is another strength we have not just within the european union, but together with our friends in canada, in the u. s. and in many other places in the world, we are not going to abandon ukrainians who have to flee when, when you go and yes i gave to eden, we do have to talk about money here and i would request your support in the draft budget to hear mark this money for humanitarian causes, so we can support and protect these people. i mean there are 3 further elements that are key to firstly, the sanctions. and the bitter reality is no sanction. they can stop

this and sanity right now, if we had a means of sanctioned, that could stock it immediately. we would have to put it in place right away. but what our sanctions can do, and this is key, is to show, put in that in the medium and long term. this war will ruin your country. who fins a put in an insidious game when it must be stopped. and this is why our sanctions must be severe and that's why we must ensure that we been in our inner for the long haul that we don't run out of energy after 3 months. our sanction is must hit boots in where it hurts. if he can give me a friend and this is why these things all go hand in hand, economically financially and humanitarian lee. and this is why i let me say to put

in and to love it of you to are responsible for this war. and this is why there will be further sanctions regarding banks, ali galks and family members of those responsible for it. and this is why that's swift. and i know when i say that word, some people feel nervous, but let me ask for your trust. this is why we have set to swift up so that it will impact on the pu tim system and will not boomerang back to an effect us. and this is why we are addressing this and taking our international responsibilities seriously. you understood one's opinion is please support our allies, nato defense, deb nato. right. as the chancellor has already made, clear nato is a guarantor of our security and our liberty. that's why it was founded and nothing has changed in this regard. when my neck happen,

my last point with the active site. yes, we have to show that we, that internets are resolute, but we represent international law and we are committed to them to international law, which is why it dialogue has to be part of it not dialogue. with the aggressor, but dialogue with the international community. this must be our focus. well, it's not just about europe, no country in this world can, except their sovereignty being at the disposal of as stronger neighbor as it suits them. done you had to put in good morning because if that were the case, putin would have one. and this is why we need to ensure that all of the member states who support the un charter must take a stance against this aggression. so let me appeal to all of our partners worldwide

. from this, if parliament next week i presented will take a stance at the you and general assembly. that is our piece structure. that's why we must defend it together. now. why to rise in cleveland and when it comes to the choice between war and peace, the choice between an aggressor and children who have to hide in the underground stations. no one can be neutral mind. thank you for making that so clear here to day.

and that in germany foreign minister and alina babel addressing the been this talk for. and alina burbock, we heard from the opposition leader for that matter. and before that of also we heard from german chancellor, allah, shall it's speeches that were really full of emotion. and as an alina babb, i just said, this is a war that has made it necessary to rethink the foundations of a foreign policy. here in the studio with us is a chief, political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, as i said, some really quite emotional woods there from all 3. if you can, sum it up for us. what were the most important messages starting with the the speech, the chancello love, shall it's made. we really heard all 3 speakers,

recognizing that this is a wrenching moment for the german people that people are sitting at their table saying what's going on? how can there be war once again in europe? and so what we're seeing here from all of them is an attempt to really put this in context as judge both the chancellor said and the opposition leader in different words. the world today is different from the world before the 24th of february. and in some ways what we're looking at is for germans, the end of the thinking that has been a continual theme throughout the post war era. germany having learned that lesson from world war 2 never again, never again war. that meant to many germans, that germany in a way was renouncing military action. of course, it's part of nato. of course, it does have a military and,

and it does commit some spending to military hardware and software. but nonetheless, there was a sense that military tools as close of its said military measures as a continuation of policy and diplomacy were, were off limits for germans. and that diplomacy is everything. and that's a lesson that reflected not only world war 2, but also the cold war when germany became famous for us politic, really bronze attempt to reach out across the iron curtain to the countries of eastern europe through cultural exchange, through diplomacy, and thereby take them along in a process of change and from many germans, especially on the left side of the political spectrum, that's what brought the berlin wall and the iron curtain down. not necessarily deterrence, although in fact, the social democratic party, him the cold war, also practice deterrence by stationing pershing pershing weapons that definitely

help to bring the soviet union to its knees. at any rate, what we're now hearing from all 3 is we're in a different world. and to the german people, we now must stand up and defend our values and defend our democracy because this war in ukraine is not just about ukraine. it is about all of europe, it is about the security order of europe as the chancellor said, it's about whether we go back to a 19th century re, i'll pull the teak where might makes right and the strongest determine the shape of europe. and i think a very clear recognition that this is going to mean changes, as you said, not only in foreign policy, but an energy policy in defense policy in relations with allies. and of course, in relations with russia. and we also heard a very strong message from all 3 saying we actually can't to do business with

protein any more, as we thought we could. and the chancellor shoulds quoted himself once again saying as much diplomacy as possible without naivete, and then said, but we have learned essentially we cannot now conduct dialogue with beauty. it's just, it's not working. it was interesting that to the last thing that she was talking about was that we want peace in europe and we will always push for peaceful solutions. however, the world is now different and i think, i mean, we were hearing things that we would never ever expect to just months ago. you know, talking about this important investment in the military to great applause. i might add a 100000000000 in this year alone. now being earmarked for upgrading the military and boy does it need upgrading, as we know many capabilities of the german military looking very, very rusty in recent years. and then he said very clearly blacked in.
