snow, i call responsibility about the greatest possible solidarity with ukraine under attack, about the security of our own country and of our alliance. balancing these goals is the challenge we face every day and who upon lawyers are parked by. but it is good and perfectly legitimate for us as a country to debate issues of this magnitude with one another and to do so in depth until after all, part of democracy is engaging in such controversies with respect and mutual esteem . and then a little what the german president rightly pointed this out in his speech this morning or 3. and also if he's up in recent days, was all i've heard people expressing serious concern himself by where he's at the war. good spread, paul. that piece here in our own country could come under threats, and it would be mistaken to dismiss these concerns out of hand. but there must be space to express such concerns. on the, at the same time, we must not allow ourselves to become paralyzed. i fear must be

a pool by 5 out of your line, tell you what we are doing to defend justice and liberty in ukraine and in europe as a whole. and it's a great deal, a list of the i lot. but at the same time, we are not simply complying with every demand made of us. at this one shop when i swore my oath of office, i promised to avert harm from the people in germany and with a bad includes protecting our country and our allies from danger. once before and from this we derived 4 clear principles that guide our policies. kind of dorky, firstly, no of the german unilateral actions, whatever we do, we coordinate as closely as possible with our allies, both within europe and across the atlantic. but secondly, with whom in everything we do, we strive to ensure we are preserving our own defense capabilities in wellness. and we have resolved to significantly better equipped the german armed forces. the bond is there so that they can defenders in the future as well as now of them in. thirdly, on them, we will do nothing that would do us in our partners. more harm than it would do.

russia is, unfortunately, i don't care if we will take no decision that would make nato a warring party and that is final. this is kind of both kick me a given lot. one of the lessons the 8th of may teaches us is that there must never again be another world war and certainly not one between nuclear powers, but burger fellow citizens of germany organ. as i speak to you today, i cannot well yet tell you when and how rushes atrocious war against ukraine will end. but one thing is, for sure, there will be no peace dictated by russia, and these are the craniums, would not accept that a. neither would we that rarely have we stood as united and determined with our friends and partners as we do today. what's what? it is my firm conviction that include that putin will not win lose worth and that ukraine will prevail, god, liberty, and security will triumph just as liberty, unsecured to triumph over oppression, violence and dictatorship. 77 years ago to look for when making this happen to the

best of our ability. what is, what never again means to day. that is the legacy of the 8th of may. danbury correspondent thomas power joins made from our parliamentary studio. thomas, what's the significance of chancellor sholpes as speech is here? it is obviously very significant given germany's historical responsibility given the lessons that germany learned from the 2nd world war. and in this particular context, where once again, there is a war in europe so that, that one component a very clear historical component there. but at the same time, for all of shots and his government, it's about explaining it's about presenting his government's policy on ukraine. this tends to be particularly important in germany. it's important to stress that it is not very common for a german chancellor to talk live like that,

or at least present his ideas on a national address on television. and all sorts clearly saw the need to do so not only given that historical responsibility, but also because he believes there's a need to explain his policies much better when it comes to helping ukraine and also countering rushes aggression. how much support is there for the government response for germany's response to the crime will well, it's the, it has to be seen separately. point by point. there are certainly issues where germans are very supportive of the way the german government has handled the war in ukraine. for example, when it comes to welcoming refugees here in germany or supporting ukraine economically, there's some sort of division in germany. i would say something also seen in various pause when it comes to sending heavy weapons to ukraine. that's an issue where you don't see a clear majority on either side. those who wanted to those who don't want germany to send weapons to ukraine at least heavy weapons. and there are issues where

germans are indeed very critical of the way the government has been handling the war. and one issue that is particularly relevant in this current context is that a majority of germans actually believe that allah shows has not explained his policies. clearly they say he, the government does not explain, explain those issues convincingly. and this is a clear reason why all of shots in this particular context decided to explain his policies on national television. and thomas, thank you very much, that thomas fire in our parliamentary studio. the city of mc alive is on the front lines of the war in southern ukraine. it's been hit by russian attacks time and again since march, and is blocking in advance by russians by moscow's forces towards odessa. our correspondent mathias billing is embedded with the ukranian army on the front line near mc, alive and spoke to residence. there have lived through the onslaught suburb
