e. u. would be to receive candidate status samples i, despite what's coming up the a you is set to discuss ukraine's candidacy on friday. but even if all member states a gray, it could still take years for cave to gain actual membership disappears the roman, gone to ranko, covered this highly anticipated meeting and told us about how the visit was received in ukraine. very positively, it was very important that they came that the 4 of them came. so the western european countries, the biggest countries of the you were represented eastern europe was presented by romanian president. so it was very important for them to come and not just a key, but also to appealing to a neighboring city where which was occupied for several weeks by the russian army. and to see what has happened there. to talk to the people there. well, as to the, to the outcome of the negotiations,

we'll talk to the ukraine in person's landscape. i would say mostly they fulfilled what ukraine expected for key if it is very important to have that signal from germany in france, especially from germany, that ukraine should get that candidate status and, and can finally start this long way. long journey to become some day, an e member member, you can must have been disappointed by the or, and what, what has been said about weapons deliveries, because ukraine needs to urgently more weapons. and we've heard very little about new weapons. only the president of france said something about a decision to be to, to be em, to deliver some more, some more on howitzers to ukraine in the coming days and weeks, maybe germany made no new announcement, but just to reinstated that it's going to deliver what was discussed before, i'm in a very high profile visit to a country that is in the middle of a very critical phase of

a war. please remind us how important this is for the people of ukraine. it is very important because this war is getting worse day by day, especially in the east of ukraine. weather is heavy fighting and i've talked her to some ukrainians who are close to the army some soldiers and they said were very thankful in germany, france, u. k. u. s. all the western countries that are delivering weapons to ukraine, but we need much more because russia has so much more weapons than ukraine. and the weapons that you can has are being destroyed, partially and partially. they are not so precise. after so much you were so the western weapons, the russian canons, or, or tanks or, or now a tillery, this is, this is what is basically ukraine needs so desperately, middle range and, and long range into artillery. they are more precise and they could help crying an

army to stop that russian offensive in the east of the country did of years around when they're gonna shrink of reporting for you from the ukrainian capital t. thank you very much on thank you. bravo claim can served as foreign minister of ukraine from 20. 19 to 20. 19 and before that, ukraine's ambassador to germany, he reflected on the day's events in chief good evening, incense for us to end his ukraine. overall. latoya include shaw cilla, derrickson, very important to floss ukrainians. it should see full need of a hearing aid. of course, it's about the green light for our candidates. there it is. it's like you osteen in france all for a traffic light,

and it's all yellow and not always green. and remember, and my dad started to in 2017 on food in britian, uniform h in not sign news is creation agreement sold as a green light for your green. and he's this answer of future. it's not just a sense of freaked or is this. and so future and thumbs adult pals that it's all say more kind of special emotions. the latest growing are from european understand in as well, no. just understand and bad shield in the ceiling, all of the christ commitment. but it's also a beat of mixed feeling. i have to be honest here because so many people expected mall in this answer. rebrand empty. it's also kind of communication problem.

it's important to explain why here we get get this refund for sold to say for yesterday and today have where and under what conditions said he'd gone. they'd be de leon. it's a incident big discussion in ukrainian media. and here we need a sort of co pop cleared in. does that make you question the e u strategy when it comes to ukraine? especially when a while looking at how a france and germany are walking a very fine line, they're very cautious. they agree and a very portia in the i understand the reasons for that. right. so you can talk to bruton. clearly you can talk to booting, but on the, from the position of false, it's basically all my,

all my experience in ols is yes. so fundamentally of water 0 being union and key european countries. alec in. is it clear and consistent strategy dollars? russia? what you want to do with this gang or for a one she's to russia. re share one are simply destroy no. just ukraine as a gantry. bad ukraine is a nation, destroy ukrainian language, destroy ukrainian mentality, destroy ukrainian. history of the russian president clearly believes everything ukrainian is artificial and it's it kind of justification for he's in viet bureau raylyn. she's and so we need to clearly understand to what kind of consistency strategy key or it be in countries and 0 being union as a whole. going to come up to what's russia it stein and it's

a point for leadership. it's a point. whereas of 0 being union, evil and villain should become a jap, will need to go blair, and that's time because it's 21st century. now, there was a puzzle, contin speaking to me a short time ago, or nato vows to bolster its forces along the alliance as eastern borders in the face of russia's aggression, defense ministers meeting in brussels, discuss how the alliance aims to reset it. strategic vision, the meeting comes ahead of a summit later this month that we'll seek to charge a new course for the coming years. is speaking right after the meeting is secretary general. yes. don't. berg said rushes. invasion of ukraine would change nato security strategy long term. russia or i guess ukraine pulse is the biggest threat to our security in decades. so we must set out natal response for the

longer term. at the summit, we will take decisions to make made or even stronger and more agile in a world that is more dangerous and more competitive. that was a nato secretary general speaking earlier. and a short time ago, i spoke to her brussels course, monetary shows, and i asked her what nato's response might be, given that the new challenges that mr. stockton burke says are now facing the transatlantic alliance. that's right, layla, yan st oldenburg, has repeatedly described the situation, living with russia's aggression as the new normal for nato. and says that the alliance has to adjust to this in ways that it didn't envision before. and that's why they're talking about. 7 a new model for allocating nato resources, and that's going to include putting more troops in those eastern flank countries, also pre positioning equipment, pre positioning ammunition. now we've heard that perhaps all of the troops assigned

to these countries won't be permanently on the ground there as the baltic states would like. but they will be training with local forces. they will be ready to integrate, should a territorial threat arise. and so this is what we're going to be hearing at this madrid, some at the end of the month, what other allies are willing to contribute to bolstering the eastern flank. interestingly, of course, the question is, are they able to, you know, a bull street permanent presence at the, in their eastern flag? i mean, do they have enough troops to, to actually realized that objective u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin said that he was absolutely confident that the allies would come up with these forces to a scale them up in case of emergency to what he called a combat credible force. and that's a change layla because at the moment what has been in the eastern flank, countries are what's called a trip wire force. and that is that you have enough troops there to, to slow down a potential invasion. and again, we're not saying that this is a very likely possibility,

but you never know anymore. and so these tripwire forces would then provoke the sending of more troops. but, you know, nato really didn't have those ready. and so what the, the biggest change is going to be is that there are going to be thousands more troops assigned to the baltic states to romania, to hungary, to bulgaria. so that at, i mean a moment's notice may be a bit optimistic, but very quickly they would be able to move in and back up. those forces that are going to be staying there on the ground permanently. and terry, of the french president in or my home has gone on the record suggesting mr. zalinski might have to negotiate with russia is their backing for this among the transatlantic allies. give us a lay, the land statements like that. and ones that are similar ones that we've also heard from from the germans chancellor, previously don't have, i would say universal support at nato headquarters because you have these countries

like the baltic states who have the most to lose if, if you were to give ground to vladimir putin, if you were to say to vladimir zalinski, okay, now you need to give up these territories that have been taken by force. of course the eastern countries say we're, we could be next and they're not going to be supportive of that. there's a lot of outrage when there are statements like that at the same time. there are other countries that may be more, more amenable to, to talking about peace negotiations at this state a lot. depends on the context. layla a lot depends on what would be expected of ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. of course, everyone knows that this war will need to end in peace negotiations. but i, i would think that many countries are not presuming that ukraine should be looking that way. at this point, because let them put, it hasn't been willing to give up anything. and there was your reserve brussels corresponding terry shoals set reporting out just a few moments ago. want to tell you, but the other stories that we're keeping an eye on the dutch intelligence services, it stopped

a russian spy from infiltrating the international criminal court. the 36 year old man posed as a brazilian intern, and could have gained access to sensitive intelligence on the i. c, c's probe into war crimes in ukraine. he was unmasked as a member of russia's military intelligence or testers in the east indian state of the heart set fire to several trains during rallies against a new military recruitment scheme. the policy means new recruits will start on short term contracts and miss out on some entitlements the are and some of india's highest unemployment and provenance. 2 australia's new government is pledging a 43 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. by the year 2030. it was one of prime minister antony albanese. he election issues official sake, the country is woo, turning the corner on climate change. blame for extreme weather events that have
