the war. his country is not far from germany, and it is being destroyed by war. in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities russert is committing in ukraine. the appeal is only over the past 3 weeks. many people have been killed thousands of ukrainians. the occupiers have killed 108 children in the middle of your yahoo! in the year 2022 blighted little emerald, said raoul, there were heads in hands as german lawmakers listened for 11 minutes. tis the lensky speaking life from ukraine. the ukrainian president did not means his words more strongly criticising berlin for continuing to import gas and oil from russia. assembled them. zip is nearly is le santia. he puts it with some measures were taken to light. these sanctions have not been enough to stop for war. were seen just how many connections your companies still have. i'm with russia, with

a country that is using you and other countries to finance this war. over these past 3 weeks of wall giving, we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that, that it is living than us as she does than us some little, never zelinski adds germany to do more, to support ukraine. if not, europe would not survive. he warned, would not be able to keep its values. he called what ukraine sees as a lack of proper support from berlin. a new wall between germany and ukraine, believe me, phone them comedian, actor, and then president of the united states. but ronald reagan once said to mister president, tad, wall law, let me tell you again, chancellor shot,

please break on this wall. if germany, the realm of leadership said you deserve, and your future generations will be proud of you, it might be that it might be a 3 month lease support us support please support each and every ukrainian the stop the war. but the german government had said before the speech that it would not formally respond. and so the session ended with a standing ovation for the ukranian president and with german lawmakers left to digest an inconvenient truth. nato secretary general yen stockton, burke said that the alliance must prevent the conflict in ukraine from escalate. he spoke to day after talks with german chance or, or what shots here in berlin. he also met with germany's foreign minister under lena bear book. here is part of what the said to reporters today. this approach of shows that this attack of aggression is an attack on the liberty of the people in

ukraine. and that makes it a war against our values. a war against our european liberty, mississippi. and this threat is one that we need to take seriously as an alliance. and we need to ensure that we are prepared. and this is why the german government, we decided yesterday on top of the 100000000000 years that we're going to put on top of what we're already spending on our defense capability. but as soon as and we are strengthening the eastern borders of the alliance with german armed forces in bundeswehr, soldiers, ne does all day increased our the turns. and offense, especially these and part of the lines are, we now have 100 or so thousands of troops on heightened alert across the lines where we have a 100000 use of forces troops in europe. that us increased by several thousands of

just the last the weeks. and then we have 40000 troops on the direct natal command, especially in these than pot alliance, sir. and that is the german, early the ship, older. but the group are in the trainer and the doubling of the number of german forces. there is a just one example of this increase preston, sir online in the air and at sea. this is our immediate response certainly occur message to moscow. that's her an attack on her one i'll, i will triggered response from the whole alliance. one for all awful. joining me here in the studio now as our political correspond, simon young is, i mean, neither in germany, they appear to be on the same page, but that does not change the fact that there is more and more pressure on germany to do more, to help you great, that's right, and i'm in terms of military support. i think you have to understand that germany is already been on quite a journey over the last few weeks. you know,

the beginning of this conflict with germany was marked as a promising a few 1000 helmets for ukrainian troops. now we're seeing deliver deliveries of anti tank weapons and to service to air missiles and significant financial support and other logistical support going in to ukraine over the last couple of weeks. so i think that, you know, there is, there is support happening. germany as been, you know, traditionally somewhat sluggish or reluctant. you might say, as a nature partner, although it's a key nature country and that has changed. now we've got this commitment to spend a 100000000000 euros on defense spending and to get up to the 92 percent of g d p target. so there's been a lot of changes also been significant german military participation in this nature project to strengthen its easton flank. as it says,

i am putting troops and equipment on the ground in the eastern european countries of nature and in the baltics and poland, and romania and so on. so i think there is a change of heart here in germany. the ukrainian president today accused germany basically of being an enabler, allowing vladimir putin to become the warrior that he is right now. and he also said that you are continuing to enable him by continuing to buy energy from him. that's right. it was an extraordinarily tough sort of accusation. in the address from zalinski i thoughts, french and z also said that the german is often repeated slogan of never again, never again war and aggression by germany that stand. he said that it has no value and no meaning because of what germany has done or failed to do as he sees it. well, you know, it's, of course he's,

he's right in the sense that europe generally and germany in particular continues to be incredibly dependent on russian oil and gas. hundreds of millions of euro's going in daily to russia. and supposing this war effort, therefore, indirectly. but it's not so easy to just yourself off that day to day. i, you know, it's a transition that the german government says it wants to get it on top of it cancelled nordstrom that pipeline project. and there's more to do. some young is always, i mean, thank you. you want to need a be lose in here are the headlines. ukraine has accused russia of bombay theater in murray of bull that was sheltering hundreds of civilian social media footage. show smoke coming from the building. the number of casualties is and know a ukrainian lawmakers says about a 130 survivors have emerged from the bill. coming up next, daniel winter will be here with dw business news. i will see you tomorrow. have

a good on it. ah ah ah ah.
