about this because what's the point if you promise something for defense and then you can only deliver part of the promise. and this is why we are currently only looking at all of the countries who can deliver this ammunition to deliver the ammunition for the leopards back then uses. and like i said, the next step are highly mod. durn tank. howitzers does it, which means that we need to be able to use these as drone defense, scott, and as ground mounted radar to mine. and i happen to be here, and it's hardly coincidence that i'm here with my isn't dutch and foreign minister color worker funding hooks that i, we came here together on the train and in recent weeks worked together to ensure that between the netherlands and germany, we deliver these tank howitzers because it's the case here that one country cannot deliver everything alone, because we don't have enough for our own defense covey capabilities. we will be providing 7 and the training it is necessary to operate them is going to begin now and the deliveries would be concluded before the training myself couldn't get

going as well. so we want them both to dovetail it and when the how it does come, the soldiers will be trained to use them. a watching did over years live from berlin. a german foreign minister on elena burbock is in ukraine. we'd been listening to her and her ukranian counterpart to matriculate about speaking to the media as crossover. now, to do to be corresponding funny for sure. who is in the ukranian capital? a funny, what was the german foreign ministers, main message? basically the germany stands by ukraine are that they do express is solidarity. not just by going to put your that was one of the 1st a visit, basically during this short trip, you do not know exactly how long it's gonna take. a lot of things are secret revolving around the strip, but the fact that you pay to respect to boucher 1st and now talking about the, the very important element that people need to be held accountable. who committed

those crimes that according to human rights organizations. but also a lot of western allies you of ukraine and bound why equal to war crimes these old boots that ukrainians really want to hear? these are the things that people, they actually anticipating already to hear from germany. but nobody so far from the german government came to visit except now the foreign minister there was a lot of diplomatic grow in between berlin and kia for the past few weeks. so now having this press conference there in between our, the gym and firmness, dental, ukrainian counterpart called clever is really as ukraine already says, historical turning point, given the fact that now it's quite clear, the germany really wants to be not just talking about solidarity, but really actively supporting this country and not just with a few 1000 how much as they were planning to do prior to the beginning of this war . but we haven't met with heavy weaponry now in practical terms. of course, some of that and re,

is something that ukrainian so we just need to be taught how to actually applies as we have heard there from a foreign minister burbock. apparently training, training on the whole bits are, are about to begin in germany. but also this is actually what people here and ukraine we're looking forward to here. hearing is that germany says we are going to support germany, is going to support ukraine when it comes to your membership. however, at the same time they of course want to keep and all of that realistic saying that this is not going to happen overnight is not going to be a shortcut. when comes to you memberships have, and the have to remember, people took to the streets and of 2013 here, and key of people who are dying because of they are longing towards the vast towards the european union. in fact, a coolie about the foreign minister of ukraine said, this is an issue of life and death, the e u membership. but once again, here are germany really wants to keep those hopes quite realistic that this is something that's not going to happen overnight. having said that,

were there any remaining points of tensions? it seems for now, especially now that presidents lensky and foreign minister babies have met as well . it seems like everything is in a restart mood. at this point, you have to know there was a lot of discussion. a reset meant almost a diplomatically as president shot. i'm a gym and he's presidential time. i was an invited by you, but the ukranian officials here over the 1st of all, over some allegations that he's connections are quite close with russia given his form of functions before he became president a in germany, when he was for a minister among the, among the cabinet of the form a chance, the medical, but it seems like all of this has been sorted and it seems as i say, because we have to see better practical and things are going to follow here to these new commitments. but it seems as if

a german is really stepping up and some people really wonder whether it had to do maybe a little bit with that push that came a week ago from the opposition leader map to was here actually just a week ago, basically saying that the german government needs to step up, so it is quite likely that after the foreign minister being here now, maybe german chancellor shoals and even president time maya may follow and acts to on the line these commitments of partnership with ukraine. and funny, can you give us a quick update of what's happening in easton, ukraine? the situation that it's really difficult you established a full picture, but one thing is certain that fighting rages on. however, it's not just an advancement that's been made over the past couple of weeks since of the russian forces have be drawn from key of it's not just the russian forces we have made some advanced met advancement. the southern end of the eastern part of

ukraine. also we hearing that actually ukrainian forces stepping up, trying to actually have a counter offensive underway in the north, east and politics. ukraine. our own. how to keep trying to actually make sure that the russian forces redraw from these villages. not basically not trying to avoid that. they take hard keep. it was really the risk over the past weeks. it seems like that the ukraine and forces are succeeding in trying to a keep the rushing forces away from hockey. but that situation and a picture over remains quite blurry. in fact, saw the observer say that it seems like this is going to be a very prolonged war, and a stand off seems to be quite likely in many parts of ukraine. microshore reporting from the ukrainian capital case. thank you very much funny. we're going to turn our attention now to asia. we're the son of former philippines dictator for not marcos is set to become the countries next leader for that mark was junior,
