is used by terror. a proved all our prompt actions brought positive results in the military organization. all our joint yes, my piece ross has met with a yeah. watching that so speak with me here was actually for international edison, richard walker. welcome richard. so the ukranian president are telling the world to get a move on essentially make your decisions, make them faster. yeah, i mean, again showing what a brilliant communicator he is. creating

a theme that the world needs to speed up in its support for ukraine. saying that a tyranny is out pacing democracy and making it in an extremely short speech. you know that in itself just adding to the sense of urgency of the situation that ukraine faces. and i think, you know, making an address like that to, to a place like that was which is, which is there for discussion, reflection and consideration and debate and saying, we don't really have the luxury of the time for that. i think it was a very effective kind of approach to getting this message across. and the fact to me what we were just discussing earlier about the western countries in the provision of weapons to ukraine and you know, has taken the last year or so to get to really heavier and heavier weapons. him really saying we just can't afford to wait much longer for,

for you to kind of make those political decisions because you know, any waiting any longer. it's going to put you kind greater and greater risk, starting with the minutes silence for those who lost their lives in today's culture crash. and then using that to minutes to make the same point. we have had more of these minutes that russia has provided and we cannot afford to wait. and yeah, i mean very effective. assessing this is the theme of time. i mean, we've watch so many of his speeches over the last year, you know, to congress just before christmas we were just mentioning there. and it is, it really is quite remarkable to see just how this affects you communications that he's come up for. just bear in mind, this is a guy who was, he was an actor. he wasn't even a professional politician. he, i'm sure you'll remember he even played the president in

a t v show. and it turns out that the skills of communication that he brings have turned out to be incredibly important to somebody who's, who's proven himself now as a world leaders. it's such a remarkable story. i 1st that richard richard walker is actually for international law as well. the gentleman, chancellor used his speech at diverse to pledge continued military support for ukraine shelters under increasing international pressure to allow the transfer of german made leper 2 tanks to ukraine and issue that the speech failed to address. russia has already failed to completely in reaching its imperialist goals. ukraine is defending itself with great success and impressive courage abroad international alliance. that by the g 7 is providing the country with financial, economic, human, italian, and military support. germany,

a long made available over 12000000 euro last year, and we will continue to support ukraine for as long as necessary. but in order for the war to end russia's aggression must fear. that is why we are continuously supplying green with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. so the chancellor shots, his speech to lever asked ben facility from d. w. business who watched from devils? no, he didn't. unfortunately not. they were really high expectations here. there was so much diplomacy going on behind the scenes just across the road from where i am at a polish house. and there were 3 presidents a yesterday hectic lea running in and out of meetings and press conferences, the lithuanian, latvian and polish presidents are all piling pressure on the german chancellor to

deliver or give some sort of signal as to whether or not these leopard 2 tanks would be delivered at some time soon and they were hopeful to hear something from him today from this speech. and the audience was to unfortunately, they were not given anything. they were reminded that germany is providing a lot of money and aid and help and support to ukraine. 12000000000 euros worth. but not those lay for 2 tanks yet. right, so no leopard tanks for ukraine. he sort of that did you crave at the start of his speech and then a moved on to business to how was his speech received that he didn't spend most of the time selling germany as a great place to do business. talking about germany's green credentials, saying that by 2030, 80 percent of our energy will come from renewables in germany. double what it is today. and went on to say that investors would get high returns if they came to

germany. it was an important speech as far as business goes because it, at this moment we see so many alliance is changing so many countries shifting their production as sites and are changing supply chains, pulling out of china in some cases, moving to other places in the region cutting off russia completely, and germany was to stand there at the forefront and, and sell itself as a, a friendly and reliable partner as far as business goes. but what everyone wants to know is, can it be a reliable partner for ukraine? of course, it doesn't want to get dragged into this board. and also these tanks are the best that the west have to offer. so the question is, what happens if this weaponry falls into the wrong hands into the hands of the russians? or perhaps the chinese or some analysts fear there's a lot at stake here and it's not as easy as just signing off on this. there will be

a meeting this friday of western ah, military leaders. and i'm sure that this will be on their agenda when they meet at van shine in germany. okay, thanks. i've been gone for zealand endeavors. meanwhile, a helicopter crash in ukraine has killed at least 14 people, including the country interior minister and his mother steer ski. a helicopter, carrying the minister and other officials went down in the city of bro, very, just outside the capital cave official said hit a kindergarten and an apartment building as it fell. several children are among the debt of building a blaze, moments after the crash emergency services, we're quick to the scene. it's not yet clear what caused the helicopter to full from the sky. not at the moment was won't be no at present is that the helicopter fell to the ground between the kindergarten on a residential building in the town of brewery was awarded with
