7:04 am
bombs and bloodshed are on the way. ukraine's military is preparing an attack to win back territory that is still occupied by russia. the messaging for civilians is frightening and it's meant to be that way. but military analysts say the warnings could be an over abundance of caution. mixed with some wishful thinking. ukrainian forces are not able to launch a major attack because they are still waiting for weapons. delivery will take weeks were told. in the meantime, russian troops are expected to inch their way forward with no lead up in the fighting. consider the words of the governor from the eastern region of lou hunts. everything that can burn is on fire. around 95 percent of that region is now under russian control. several don't ask is a focus of the attacks amid fierce fighting ukrainian forces say they have held a chemical plant in the city were about 500 civilians. a fault to be sheltered. the

7:06 am
into nuts, non for candidates, it represents an apocalypse, evil in europe and the world and own book and a turning point for all of us and its site vendor films. other, you can integrate ukraine belongs among us from a belongs to the european family, often falls a milestone on this pre conditional european path is the status of an accession candidate. the member states will be discussing this in the next few days. but germany is in favor of a positive decision in favor of ukraine, and i will push for a unified position at the european council dockman. and it's quite clear that we will continue to support ukraine event. we will continue to support ukraine with weapons for as long as ukraine needs our support. we do a little different. so been my 1st gift to 9 to knows both worlds of ukrainian diplomacy and ukrainian big business alexander share, but is a former ambassador to austria from ukraine and is currently chief advisor to the
7:07 am
ceo of natural gas. that's ukraine's state energy company. he's also the author of ukraine versus darkness. that's a collection of essays based on the 2 and a half decades that he spent as a career diplomat in speech writer for ukrainian leaders. mr shepherd, good to have you on the program to night. let me ask you this question on gas if ukraine wants to prevent russia from earning money on gas exports, why is it ukraine preventing russian gas from transiting across ukrainian territory? or is that the case? thank you for having me. huh. well, the answer is very simple. because so we know that 2 companies like germany, austria still need to guess the company's policy and the company's position and the
7:08 am
positional mackey menu, our coworkers, quite frankly, is clear russian guest. so this will be, i guess, and barbara and poland. barbara. but so we don't want to be long who just cut through, i will, we need to, we need to, johnny was and other countries to do it on them. so on their own and i think they're approaching the right decision introducing guess, embargo. and then of course, ukraine will play along in let me ask you to mr. chevy, just to clarify, for our viewers, am, is ukraine still receiving transit fees from russia when that a gas or oil crosses its territory? i mean, are you making money real surrealism farms? yes. if correct. so we are both doing our contractual obligations.
7:09 am
a country between russia and the european union. they are not taking and by russian guess since 2015 has been, but we are friends in the russian guess this, correct. we know that ukraine is paying a huge price for its sovereignty and its its freedom right now. casualties in defining are, are huge. is the military aid? is it getting through said, i mean sufficiently mean, are you convinced that western countries are committed to helping ukraine when this war? melissa, how partners in the west, sir, we are confident that they understand the nature of this war, that we are fighting for our freedom and we don't know the weight but to keep
7:10 am
fighting because we know what will happen once this talk to will didn't know your grand lube no, you bring your language. there will be no are freedom. there was actually a rather remarkable article published in moscow and then spatial this war. it was titled what we should do with the grain, and then you'd sent very clearly a general size of ukrainians in spoke about long grains collective guilt and collective banishment that the deserves for at least one generation. so we have no other way, but to find what i like our foreign minister said, even if we don't get the weapons, we'll fight with space. well, a, an article in the new york times today, reports that us officials are briefing that the weapons ukraine has received or is receiving will help it to hold on to its territory. do you agree with that?
7:11 am
i mean, is that enough for your country in terms of, of ending this conflict satisfactorily? wow. b, a land lease program on the part of the united states is open ended. so there is no clear limits as to what to bring her needs are receiving will receive. i hope we indeed will receive whatever it takes. we know that was that was already read. the form is a lot and it can make a huge difference on the front line. the problem is it hasn't, for the most part, it hasn't come yet from the united states, from many european countries, including unfortunately johnny, although up to date was a huge new sensor. finally, i don't, oh, is that right? don't you know that the thing from the whole heart when asked you about
7:12 am
perceptions of russia? i'm french president emmanuel macaroni. he has been reminding people, particularly last week that ukraine will have to negotiate with russia. in the end, is there a rift between the ukrainian perceptions of russia and how western countries such as france see russia? well, i think everybody is for changing their perception of russia after this war, everybody who had any kind of trust in russia. now it has to everything and the way you saw, right? so rush and last couple of the gate. so only great part i can say as someone who was enemy aggression rushing me like, well, many, many great,
7:13 am
and it will never forget whatever good was connecting our 2 countries until nation. it has been destroyed in this remarkable, almost for mom, mary war. but yeah, chrome, right? so we'll have to negotiate on the billing for a long while. you're in moving the work that's my take a while and what's your take on what we continue to hear from some german law makers and policy makers that europe, germany should not push. let me putin too far because we still want to be able to negotiate with them when this war is over. are they guilty of giving an
7:14 am
aggressive russia a future free pass? absolutes him, they are new to their guilty over allow him to, to grow, and to become this monster guilty. i'm not listening to what ukraine was saying for years about players. they are guilty. we're selling the soul of europe to this monster in moscow and embracing him while he was planning this war. and they're saying right now that we should be careful about the emotions of this insane as cynical evil person in moscow than once again, be a guilty big deal to be either foolish or greedy or are not courageous enough. and despite all that, mister share with the european union is expected this week to grant ukraine
7:15 am
candidacy status to one day become a member of the e. u. i mean, given that this process is likely to take years, sometimes it can take decades. why is this official recognition? why is it so important for your country? because this war is about freedom for freedom. oh, to be $1.00 to $1.00, to be and to one to be was europe. we want to be like europe. we want to be a success. like euro and just to be recognize, just have to follow wish official recognized by the european union knowing how this from europe was wrong. that when just wants to go just it mean so lot it's, it's the right symbol. it at the right moment to the right concrete, the right nation. i know that you had worked with ukrainian leaders since
7:16 am
independence 31 years ago. how would you describe president low to mid zalinski, his leadership? at the current time? i mean, he is a wartime president. no, we are mostly proud of him like her, like her. oh, great young american journalist. oh, let his love that it's all set. zelinski is a hero. when you are here, said the joker. she tweeted him jokingly, but indeed president laskey in the hero ho many, many people, many ukrainians like myself. we will now forget the day of february 24th. when we went up to beth, hearing the flames rushing planes flying over to you, and not knowing her to which kind of really to wake up tomorrow and then waking up
7:17 am
next day and seen president zalinski a sending this message, hello ukrainians. i'm here. i said, i don't need right, i need them all. and that was the moment when you started really, really go really hurry a liz understand or we've covered a lot of territory tonight, but there's still much more to talk about. we hope that you can join us again here on the day. thank you. thank you. oh rushes, foreign ministry, have some in the european union's ambassador to russian over what moscow calls a blow blockade on goods transiting through lithuania to the russian exclaim of. helena gra. that the way nia halted the rail transit of goods including construction material, metals, and co, after a new package of e u sanctions against russia came into force late last week. as you see right there,
7:18 am
coline ground is wedged between nato members, lithuania and poland. if a more now i'm joined by our correspondent konstantin anger, he is in lithuania, constantine, it's good to see you again. this enclave of coline grub. it's russian territory and it has a border with the waning. this is where russia and nato meet head on. what's your sense is moscow signaling to the world that it is willing to let the situation escalate into something more than a diplomatic rel. well, i think is usually likes the world to think it's so crazy that everyone has to rush and pacifies. but i suppose that in such circumstances that will be a little suicidal mission. cleaning route is, as you rightly said, places natal directly voters, only 2 countries, both nato members, poland and the 20th. and frankly speaking, it is
7:19 am
a very important military base for that is also very fertile because of its geographic location. i, i think that are actually the, the, the transit that it blocked out according to the you direct it, which state from the sanctions, not because russian the, this, this kind of transit that has nothing to do, for example, military shipments that continue to go violate, went into canadian rock, it has to do with basically, for example, something like steel and a ferrous metals that are banned from transiting you territory. so i think that it is on the one hand, a traditional kremlin bravado. but all the other hand, i'm sure that people in the graham and know it is this piece of land on the baltic, sea coast cleaning rock is in a very precarious situation. so it is essentially completely surrounded by nature.
7:20 am
yeah, you know, a year ago many people thought that a russian threat to invade ukraine was also bravado. and we know where we are tonight. what about the way of how concerned are people there that the situation could escalate into a ukraine to point out runs. conversely, yes, no uncle, the book is going to invade, but also no one thought that this invasion going to go so haywire. so i think back with regard to the 20th, it is a completely different game. moscow leadership understands that it is nato territory in stockton. nothing that we have confirmation yet again from july that america is going to fight and he's going to is going to basically live up to its expectations of collecting defense on the, on the north atlantic treaty people in lithuania, brent ward ever since 2014,
7:21 am
ever since the annexation of the crimea, people here consider many to be a frog lines. they, that's what they say here, including officials. but all the other hand, i've spoken to some people with many governments. and they told me today that they think that this particular our best of a moscow irritation and rage is more propaganda than fact actually, apart from actual military action against the great, there is not much that the government can do to the planet and giving us excellent analysis on what is going on surrounding the enclave of coline gra cus and he thank you. thank you. i went to east africa where the death toll from a massacre in ethiopia or in the region has risen to at least 260. it's the latest atrocity and ethiopia of nearly 2 year old civil war, the began in the northern te great region, government forces are fighting the t great people's liberation front. their dw
