and re imagined galleys teachings for relevance to us. ah, gandhi's legacy starts january 20th on b, w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is dw news live from berlin. ukraine says it urgently needs battle tanks and germany is under mounting prussia to provide them. the issue is set to dominate the meeting of the ukraine defense contact group. now underway of the usa based on 15

in southwest, germany, being hosted by us defense secretary, lloyd austin. also coming up be global business and politically pack up to go home . as the world economic forum ends in double switzerland. we catch up on the highlights with our correspondence and police class with demonstrators in per room as thousands, travel to the capital lima to demand the perused. president stepped down the ongoing political crisis has claimed mood and 50 lives. ah, i'm on your campus. mckennan. welcome to the program. ukrainian president val. autumn is the lensky has made an impassioned plea to his allies for more heavy weapons. zelinski address, defense ministers, and military leaders missing out the u. s. ad bass robin stein in germany now the

meeting. vena u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin, all so much allies on friday to dig deeper to support ukraine. it's a meeting many, he has se comes at a crucial moment with russia regrouping and recruiting ukraine's allies feel they have to ramp up their support and fast. this is not a moment to slow down. it's a time to dig deeper. but ukrainian people are watching us. the kremlin is watching us in history is watching us. so we won't let up. and we won't waiver in our determination to help you. crane defend itself from russia's imperial aggression. so many of the countries present the hammerstein have already announced additional military, 8 armored vehicles and ammunition for example. but the main focus of today's

conference is on what is not yet on that list. the german leopard to a heavily armed battle tang kia has long been asking for germany itself is so far, reluctant to deliver and says it would take a very long time. anyway. other countries like poland and finland, however, also have these tanks and are willing to send them to ukraine fast. but that to needs the green light from berlin and pressure is mounting. poland is now hinting it might go ahead without permission from berlin. i think that if there is strong resistance polish deputy foreign minister, pavel jablonsky said, we will be ready to take even such nonstandard action. but let's not anticipate the facts. ukraine too is pushing heart amid rushes, latest attacks. oh yea. i am truly grateful to all of you. for the weapons you have provided, every unit shall is to see our people from terror, but

a tire tire remains. arrows let. la time must be our common jones, my dear dance and artillery our vehicles and downs, which were you, be sheeting about the new germany's new defense minister, borchers postwar years has been an office little more than 24 hours. told german media decision is about to be mate one way or the other aspect to the w is chief, political correspondent, nina has a earlier his at b u. s. at base in i'm fine restaurant of course. as a matter of course, that's their $100000000000.00 question here. all eyes are on this meeting here at ramstein. lloyd austin, the u. s. defense secretary said himself keeps watching us. the kremlin is watching us, but history is also watching us. and of course, in the days leading up to this meeting, there was a lot of tension in the air. there was a lot of criticism of germany's reluctance, or, of course,

the issue of battle tanks is one that is the big elephant in the room. will germany give its green light so that other countries can re export? the german made a battle tanks to ukraine, as they've suggested they want to do like poland for example. and but then of course, of a lot of movement happening behind the scenes. and because it is such a crucial meeting, everybody is well aware of that. and the feeling here is, of course, that they do have to deliver some tangible results, something that can really make a difference on the battlefield. what i thought was interesting, also in the address by the ukranian president zalinski was the didn't just ask for battle times. he also asked for us systems like fighter jets long range missiles. he wants everything the west can give him. but of course, this meeting is also about coordinating which countries can deliver what best when, and they will have to develop, deliver some sort of a minimum result. hans, i just want to talk about the issue of unity because, you know,

all eyes are on germany. the pressure is allan and over this stand off over sending battle, thanks to ukraine. could this german hasn't didn't see that we're seeing push the unity of nato, the unity of the european union to break from point? well that is was cause a huge test for western uses. he and of course everybody here, all the participants are trying to avoid a situation where there is even the slimmest impression of a crack. in that western unity, they is say that they remain resolved to support ukraine for as long as it takes and that they want to sound convincing when they do that. but of course, are all f shows, the german chancellor has come under a lot of pressure, especially at the european parliament passed a resolution saying a germany needs to stop standing on the brakes. then there is the talent pledge where some 8 countries have outlined already. what they are willing to deliver,

and that includes poland that says it is willing to donate some of its slept 2 tanks that he got from germany or germany. the german government has to give its consent. now what i'm expecting to happen is that there is movement on that issue that other countries will probably get this green light from the german government because there is no plausible explanation anymore for the german government not to do so. the german government argues, though that they do need for u. s. support. they need the u. s. to throw all its weight behind those efforts of earth applying ukraine militarily as well. there's just this fear of potential escalation and all our shots doesn't want germany and the europeans to stand alone in such a potential scenario. now, boris visorio, the new german defense minister, has already said that and nobody is ruling out the delivery of such slept 2 tanks to ukraine, but it needs to be deliberated very, very carefully. so of course, the western unity and western resolve is being tested today. it is very rare walk today is definitely one of those moments where you as a journalist,

are aware that you're witnessing history in the making. and we will be watching closely. d. w as chief political correspondent, nina has a thank you. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has made a point of increasing the pressure on germany in an exclusive interview with german t. v. he used it to repeat his coal for the rapid delivery of tanks. more than that lamp are in plain language. can you deliver leopards are not living in the stiff and hand pneumonia part of it? it's not like we're attacking if anyone's worried about that. these leopards are not going to pass through russia. we're defending ourselves, shames. i spoke earlier with defense insecurity journalists, thomas vigo it, and asked him to explain. germany's hesitancy in supplying ukraine the bottle tanks . it's a bit difficult to explain. however, the impression, the overall impression is that the chancellor wants to avoid as embolic drill

situation. he doesn't want to see pictures of german tangs versus rushing tangs on the battlefield, which would remain a reminder that the russians of the west of the world of the times passed. i think that's his main concern. why he doesn't want to see the, the tags in the situation. on the other hand, germany has delivered how answers has deliberate rocket artillery. it's not that germany would not have delivered lethal weapons. so it remains, i'd boiled stone to the symbolic picture. ok, so the shadow of german history very apparent that now poland, deputy foreign minister has said that it might send its german made leopard 2 tanks to ukraine without germany's authorization. can you tell us how significant that would be in terms of the e. u. a. nato that would be rather significant early,

usually when arms are exported from which country, whatsoever. it comes with certain legal obligations and from germany. the obligation as me for the country is allowed to re export any weapons. they need approval by the original country of production. and if poland would skip this and would just say we don't care, this would have legal obligations for their relations within the, within day to was in europe. the so much talk about these lead to a tanks the as the battle tank of choice m, as opposed to the u. s. abraham. what makes them so that so special? so in demand, 1st of all, it's the logistics problem. and the abrams needs a lot more of even carabiner diesel,

depending on how it's used. but the fuel consumption is nearly double as high as was a leopard. and that's a problem on this stretch front lines in ukraine. logistics is a problem, any way you have to get ammunition to the front line, you have to get fuel to the frontline. and if you have to get the double amount of fuel that's puts a strain on all the logistics you can offer. so if the la petite is what to make it to ukraine, how decisive would they be and breaking 3 russian lines. this would depend on the numbers, the europeans are willing and able to provide. and it would depend on the type, the leopard to comes or with the worship 2 and a variety of types from the, to a for up to the, to a 7. truly, no country is willing to offer the most modern versions of $27.00 plus. so it will be either the 2, a 4 or the 2,

a 5 and which works and it will be in the end. we'll decide how useful how effective disease tags will be against the russian tanks. timothy, going to central security journalist. thank you so much for the analysis. you're welcome. for months now ukrainian forces have been locked in bloody battles against russian troops in the eastern dumbass region facing has intensified around the town of buck moot, where soldiers and civilians are holding out in harsh winter conditions. now despite the dangers, some volunteers are continuing to take aid to people in the area. he dummies sonia found a car, met some of those people in the capital, keith, most of them because i just know who the ankle is getting ready to go to the dangers or she's about to leave for background in the eastern done bus yet. and she has, but i, you, some of it is for hospitals,

any tangible decisions made regarding ukraine in the lastly more pledges of support and for as long as it takes, as we heard from all sla on the line. but everyone's waiting for those german heavy tanks. the eastern european leaders saying that is the way to win the war. please from zalinski in a video link from the 1st lady who was here in person saying that we wouldn't have this poly crisis. if we didn't have this war on the x prime minister of the u. k. force johnson saying, send in the tanks. but germany being hesitant, waiting for the wesley not wanting to be dragged into this world. and we'll have to leave that. but thanks so much for that, that's the w has been hazard and reporting from dallas in peru, thousands of demonstrators have poured into the capital lima. as the countries deadly political crisis deepens,
