ah ah, ah ah, business dw news live from berlin, russia calls up extra reservists to fight in ukraine. vladimir putin mobilizes $300000.00 troops and says russia will use any weapons necessary to protect itself . joe biden condemns roches escalation of the war. earl,

needless war. war chosen by one man to be very blunt for years president singles, i'll put it up using the russian leader of making irresponsible threats to use nuclear weapons. ah, i'm gabelle as well come to the program. vladimir putin has announced russia will call up an extra $300000.00 reservists to fight in ukraine. he says the mobilization is aimed at liberating the eastern don boss region where ukrainian forces are staging a counter offensive. western leaders say the call up is in response to russian losses on the battlefield on the streets of ukraine's capital gave the announcement from moscow is being met with a mixture of derision and disdain. not the guy who,

you know, this is agony caused by impotent patient doesn't know what to do. so now he tries to make people fee his words. that's my opinion. yeah. been worth over here with the i think we have to trust our armed forces and no one else said rose. her fronts will always come from russia. we'll get one that will reduce the walk. so there's no point in listening to them when negotiated on them. awesome. so luckily he's are all empty words to him without the symbol so. so let me put in is calling the move necessary an urgent saying the west crossed a line by providing sophisticated weapons to ukraine. he insisted they are aimed at weakening, dividing, and eventually destroying russia. her to the pool, i'd like to remind you that our country also has various weapons of destruction and in certain aspects, even more modern weapons, the nato countries. if there's a threat to the territorial integrity of our country, in order to protect russia and out people,

we will certainly use all the means at our disposal. this is not a bluff a little bit is a disease. if then you believe wouldn't stop short of declaring a full national draft reactions and moscow varied among the young and the old financial. my pride says yes, go to war. but common sense tells me that i can die. there has been so i have family relatives and friends of whom i'm in doubt. and i can't say for sure i subordinate borderline amongst visitor. but if you have to be led to study, the president has taken the decision taking into account of the situation. he believes it's necessary and we're in a situation where we can't comment on what he has said, the president said eskimiya and that's it. though storms guzzle, business does all this stuff. okay. and it also led to swift condemnation by the international community. i am shimmer on this is another terrible and wrong stuff by russia, indian,

which we will of course us politically barton and discuss on how to respond to it. in 1st, in any case for a me and the german government, and it's clear that we will continue to fully support ukraine during this difficult time. meanwhile, moscow, back separatist and eastern ukraine, announced plans to hor, referendums to join russia. even as ukrainian forces retake huge sweets of territory in the countries northeast. i asked, are russia fess alice constantine exit y putin is mobilizing troops? now, one thing, there are several reasons. first and foremost, oil, it is a way of to psychologically bra usher ukraine in the west. and to show that he's intransigent and he's going to continue fighting. ah, and the 2nd thing is very clear. the, the, the russian force were forces were repeated repeatedly wiped out in ukraine. he just needs reinforcements. the quality of the re, the reason these reinforcements, i'm sorry, ah, basically, i'm sure it leaves a lot to be desired,

but he has no other choice. and frankly, speaking a low, it's called partial mobilization. in the decree that putin signed, there is one point which is close that says force for service. um, usually, which is the russian bureaucratic who have saying this is the most important thing in this whole document. and it deals extensively with numbers. so the figure of $300000.00 i think it's just, it's just basically a camouflage. in fact, we're dealing with a creeping full mobilization. it's another matter that in my view it will not be successful. and the only thing to debate is now the scale of failure. now, we are hearing reports that many people are now heading for the borders and the airports trying to leave russia. what are you hearing about that? exactly the same russian social media is all flooded with reports of people are

buying up ah tickets to destinations where russians don't need a visa. in a matter of a couple of hours after putin's i put in the cree nonsense and that this tells you quite a lot about, ah, what people really think about ah, over there this fight, this war also put in change narrative before that it was denot certification. quote unquote of ukraine and some kind of special military operation. now he's talking mobilization mobilization. it's only a said mobilization russian history. the 1st 2 obligations happened in 1914 and in 1941 during 2 world wars. so, put to the 70 saying, why fighting the west in ukraine in russia, i don't think there's a lot of desire to find the west. so what's going to happen that i'm 20 years a reserve officer. lots of people are going now to head to the border. lots of others who can not. we'll try to buy fake milton medical certificates from grub

doctors to say that they're, that they're sick. or, or they will bride just bribe, the military call up. the military commissar out officials to get a reprieve from the draft. so it's going to be quite, i would say quite a big and tragic circles that are constantly briefly, if you can, is this likely to affect russian soldiers morale on the battlefield? i think grab the reinforcements will not be of better quality. that is the only thing that we need to know. there are probably going to be more soldiers, but they're not going to be better trained. they're not going to be a better job so far. and that's important. think better motivated russian army is not well motivated and this is it's biggest drawback. good um his russia affairs analyst constantine again, they're speaking to us from vilios. thank you. constantine. you, as president joe biden has delivered

a serious condemnation of russia's escalation of the war at the united nations in new york biden aimed his criticism squarely at vladimir putin. he accused the russian leader of making irresponsible threats, saying nuclear was, cannot be won. and he said russia shamelessly violated the un charter by attacking ukraine. let us speak plainly. a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbour, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants of the united nations charter. no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force with me in the studio, in our isde of his chief international editor, richard walker. richard. yes, a clear words there from you as president,

we listen to both listen to him, but not as strong as many me included expected yet. well, i think the tone that biden hit in the speech, and i would imagine this was really quite deliberate, which was a kind of steady, a tone that he seemed to be trying to get across. obviously this day coming, going back to this morning here in europe with this announcement by vladimir putin very much the scene is potentially a kind of game changer in this conflict. entering a new phase with escalation on the russian side. mobilization of more russian forces. vladimir putin making nuclear threats. joe biden, addressing these very directly, but in a steady way, not seeming to want to escalate the rhetoric any further. and to kind of heat up the situation any more than it needed to be. but also very firm in that, i mean that one interpretation or a clear interpretation of what putin has been doing with these moves,

is to try to deter the west from it supportive ukraine trying to kind of scare the west, essentially with threats of nuclear weapons from from supporting ukraine is strongly that has been no sign that budget biden wants to be dragged down that route. and in fact, underscoring the degree of support that the united states is providing ukraine even offering up the number of $25000000000.00 in support. including military a day. so i think steady but firm seems to be the time that he was trying to hit on not adding adding fuel to the fire. and also said very un charter is under attack. when he was addressed to the general assembly, there was the highest body of the united nations by russia, and then he also supports the expansion of the un security council. why is that relevant now? yeah, that's interesting. and this is actually a position that the u. s. has, has going back quite a few years now that it wants to see the security council expanded. the security

council seen by many of course as a relic of the post 2nd world war era going back decade doesn't include countries like india, which now obviously hugely important plays on the world stage. i think the fact that by is latching onto this at this point. so it underscores the fact that they see this is a potential opportunity for a given russia's involvement in this war. that is, that a permanent member of the security council which wields a veto, which is able to block pretty much anything of consequence that he wants to in the u. s. system is waging a war like this. this adds weight to the case for security council reform, whether it actually gets anywhere. it's a different question because it's know that china is pretty much adamantly opposed . now, the cranium president, problem is lensky is also about to address the un assembly this this afternoon, remotely understand what's at stake. that's right. so this is an important

opportunity for zalinski to address the international community, of course. and i think one of the significant things about this address is that it is simply happening a tool that it's uncommon for a video address to be permitted. of course, it was the last couple of years because of kobe, the general assembly was held remotely. but otherwise, it's uncommon, so there was a vote in the un general assembly on whether to permit this in this case. and a clear majority, $101.00 members of the un general assembly voted for that. including interestingly, countries that have been quite on the fence on the conflict so far, for instance, india. so it's, it's, it's a coup for lensky to be able to make this address a tow, particularly with that kind of support. and we know we've seen during the course of this year, what a talented communicator he is. so being very, very interesting, especially given what happened today to see what kind of a tone he strikes and whether he manages to change any minds which walk on our

chief international editor that thank you richard. turn out to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. your stop prosecutors suing for me you as president donald trump, for alleged business fraud. leticia james says, trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to enrich himself and secure favorable loans. our office is seeking $250000000.00 in penalties. a so use rocket carrying a u. s. astronaut and to a russian cosmonaut has blasted off from kazakhstan, heading to the international space station after their 3 hour flight. the crew will spend 6 months in orbit in 200 miles. police in germany rated providence belonging to a russian oligarch and others. they are suspected of tax evasion and breaking you sanctions . media named the oligarchy is alisha guzman off a close ally of president putin and one of russia's richest toys.
