3:02 pm
relations are little bit warmer now after months of frosting us. would you say it is hearty call them frosty? because of course, there was a very big outpour of solidarity here in germany from day one, and there was never any doubt. the germans stood by the side of ukraine and they opened their doors to refugees. they provided financial aid, but when it came to delivering weapons, that was the big sticky point where both governments couldn't agree. and that did cause a bit of a diplomatic route as well. because ukraine kept criticizing germany for being too slow when it came to delivering the weapons that they said they needed in the war. and there was a big reluctance here in germany for all sorts of reasons. i mean, this crisis is putting germany into some sort of an existential crisis, where they're having to do paradigm shifts when it comes to those policies. so it did take a long time and then our president stein myers said that he was uninvited from ki iv and the ukranian ambassador here in berlin played big role, said
3:03 pm
a couple of things where it's some people said, okay, now you're insulting. the german government is that really going to help you? so the, the fact that dennis we hired is here in berlin is a very good sign that also the ukranian side are ready to now say, okay, let's just put these things behind and move on. yeah, i move on for just like that. so they want more weapons, which is what the ukrainians always say they need more of are given their war against russia. didn't want defense against russian vision and also support for a complete ban on delivering visas to russian entering the european union. that's what he's travelling for. going to be heading to brussels or from the researcher. how is he likely to any, any results from the meeting that, you know? well he, he gave 2 very big interviews ahead of his visit here in berlin, and then the press conference was cancelled that have been announced. and so unfortunately, we're not going to know the details, and some people here in berlin are saying ok, the fact that he did give these interviews and that he made his position very clear,
3:04 pm
is an indication that then here in the chancery here in germany, some people said ok, our positions are still 2 different. so let's not put our different positions on display in front of royal media. don't know the details, but it is a fact that the ukraine says they need germany's modern tanks. they need the left to they. germany hasn't been delivering that. they also say that germany has to deliver more of the air defense system, the iris t. that's also modern. they say that they will be delivering for, but ukraine say they need at least 12 to protect their space. and when it comes to the total visa band or have charged, the german chancellor said from day one, this is putins for we're not going to target the russian population with a total ban on coming to the you. so this is something where there is no movement of germany has now supported the use move to get rid of the visa facilitation process. so it is going to become a bit more difficult for us and to enter the u, but they still say we need the ration opposition. and so we can't deny them access
