2:04 am
indiscriminate attacks across ukraine have damaged hospitals and crippled health care services. w h o director general tedra us. deborah, yes, was warned. the war could have a devastating impact on ukraine, citizens, and health care system for decades. the disruption to services and sort of price ukraine is posing on extreme risk to people who use cardiovascular disease. cancer . deb it is h i v and t v which out among the leading cause of mortality in ukraine. well, rachel rizzo joins us from washington. d. c. now she's a non resident senior fellow at the atlanta cancels europe center. hi rachel, welcome to d w. now the attacks are continuing despite sanctions arms deliveries and the international condemnation is the west running out of options.
2:05 am
while the images that you've shown are indeed heartbreaking. and i think that the west is doing what it can at the moment. at the same time, it is careful because it doesn't want to escalate and create even more death and destruction on the ground. but as you've said before, i mean the bombing in places like car give and mary poll looks to be pretty indiscriminate. and you saw the lensky talk to the german parliament earlier today saying that they're doing too little, saying that they're placing good economic relations with moscow over the protection of ukraine. they want more weapons, they want help protecting the sky. the problem is, is the west going to be able to deliver on those requests from ukraine? that's, let's talk actually a little bit more about that. and nato has ruled out a no fly zone. but what exactly can they do to help you crane without actually
2:06 am
intervening military? so there are a couple things here. nato leaders, specifically, us president joe biden has said that nato will protect every inch of its territory . so that's the number one priority on behalf of nato. now, countries bilaterally can do much more to help you crane rather than the nato alliance. as a whole. you saw the united states approved and $800.00, a new $800000000.00 aid package to ukraine. that includes more javelle and more stingers helmet, pistols, rifles. there's talk about a potential as 300 surface to air missiles from vakio, potentially going to ukraine. so the help here is more on a bilateral basis between countries rather than from nato as an alliance. now it's being said,
2:07 am
the trans atlantic partnership appears to be stronger today than it has been in perhaps decades. and that's not a mere putin has actually united the west again, do you agree with that? i absolutely agree with that. what's interesting about hooton's decision to invade ukraine is that it's partially driven by the desire for fewer nato troops on russia's border. the desire for ukraine never to join the alliance. ironically, he's going to end up with even more nato troops along his border. nato is fortifying it defenses in places like colon, lithuania, estonia and lot be reinforcing its troops in in romania. the interesting thing is that had he decided on another course of action, more hybrid than he could have gotten the cracks and fishers in the alliance that he likes to see, but he's really created unity and solidarity. rachel result from the atlantic

2:14 am
correct it's orbit. without that the ice s would eventually fall on earth. but the dependence goes both ways. us modules, for example, provide energy and life support systems for the russian section. therefore, splitting the station into separate units. his technically unfeasible expert said it would be very difficult for us to be upgrading on our own. i s. s. is an international partnership that was created as an international partnership with joint dependencies, which is what makes it such an amazing program. so it's nasa and i've been working towards more independence in space flight for some years now. they've built their own rockets that even plans to adapt us spacecraft like the sickness to take over re orbiting duties. but that will take time for now the russian european and us
