other regions worse, natural disaster for a century. being the latest from a city where nearly 3 quarters of all buildings between destroy ah, i'm from gale. welcome to the program. ukraine's western allies are meeting in brussels to discuss further military assistance for keith. us defense secretary lloyd austin said they're doing all they can to keep ukrainian forces supplied with ammunition. he also said the west expects you crate to launch an offensive in the spring. ukraine. defense contact group includes nato countries and keys, non nato bacchus. secretary austin said that alex would remain united and resolute for as long as it takes about a year ago. thought machine. ukraine was an easy target. hayton

assumed that keith would easily fall and put in assumed that the world would stand by but the kremlin was wrong. on every count. over the past year, ukraine soldiers have fought valiantly for their country. ukraine's people have shown deep courage in the face of russian cruelty and countries of good. we all have rallied to defend an open order of rules and rights. together we seek a world where disputes are resolved peacefully where sovereignty is respected, where borders are honored and we're civilians are protected. law correspondent, tele sholtes is at nato headquarters in brussels, asked how, what else stood out from that press conference. what we heard from, from the americans, there was that they are going to increase coordination of all of these weapons

systems and supplies that are being given to ukraine. they want to make sure that that instead of perhaps giving completely new capabilities that they, that they tied together, the ones that have already been sent. and that includes more training for ukrainian soldiers and includes more spare parts. it includes of course, as we've been speaking about more ammunition, they want to make sure that, that the ukrainians have everything they need to use the systems they've already got. joining us and given the increasing concerns about ukraine, running out of ammunition, general milli was asked to whether i keith would have to do more with the less. what did he say? yeah, this was an interesting question because of course we have been hearing that ukraine is running out of ammunition and that europe and the united states can't possibly make enough to resupply it at the same rate. so this is a really important problem and that it was mentioned by everybody today. so he was asked whether they would have to stop firing as much. and he said that he thinks

that with this increased training again, he wanted to emphasize that, that something being provided that perhaps they wouldn't need to use as much. and perhaps some of the more efficient weapon systems would not be using as much artillery. so this is something that he said we could hope for, but he said it remains to be seen whether that actually happens. and the nato secretary general or against ultrabook, a separate chief needs amunition more than it needs. a fighter jets for chief is still asking for those jets to clammy. both parties have differing expectations from this meeting. i don't think the ukrainians probably went into this meeting expecting that they were going to get fighter jets. but you know that it, unless they ask of course they're never going to get them. and a month ago, at the last rum sign meeting, they didn't have any tanks yet. and now today they announced at this meeting that 11 countries are sending tanks. so the ukrainians know exactly what they're doing and a diplomat told me yesterday that they are so impressive in these meetings. they come in, they're very organized, they're very rational,

and that they impress everybody and everybody understands just how urgent this is for them. and that's something that we heard time. and again, today's meeting, everyone saying that with the russian offensive, the spring offensive of perhaps already underway now is a really crucial moment in the war. and germany is defense minister has said that he's country will ramp up the production of ammunition, have complicated processes that extremely complicated. but the biggest problem i've been hearing from sources is that contracts have not been signed. in fact, a minister pastorius came out today and said that germany has signed a contract now to put money on the table for these weapons manufacturers. because without that, they're not going to even start the production. now we heard yesterday from the secretary general stolen, berkeley that the lag time on producing the producing munitions has now more than doubled. so something that perhaps took a year to produce before the war now may take more than 2 years. now. that's not

good news for ukraine. so i was just speaking with the estonian. defense minister at lee says that he proposed in this meeting to day for a joint procurement of nato countries. but to be facilitated also um through the european union and, and, and the piece facility. so there are some new ideas coming about how to get the, the ammunition production scaled up. moved up more quickly. but at the moment, it just hasn't happened as fast as, as a, as ukraine needs it to frankly, i could about to terry and terry shows in brussels. russia has rejected allegations that it's planning to overthrow the moldova government. although his present, my saunders accused moscow of plotting to overthrow her administration using foreign shopper toes disguises protesters. new crimes president landscape is also said the cave uncovered details of this alleged russian club, russian foreign ministry. however, said the allegations with baseless and accused ukrainian, moldova smear campaign,

sebastian schaeffer, managing director of the institute for danube region and central europe, which also looks at developments in moldova. welcome to d, w. and what do you think? then i'm anti russia smear campaign or a russian coup lot. thank you very much for having me. well, i think that if we look back, especially after almost 12 months of the full scale invasion of the russian federation in ukraine, the things that have been set by the ministry of defense, the ministry of foreign affairs. but also the criminal itself don't seem to be much trustworthy. i don't say with this that there is a cool plot. i think that's what the president may have found that the country and it citizens should have maximum vigilance is the right call. because i

don't believe if it's heavily denied from left off and the likes that there is nothing going on if it was immediate. that's hard to judge. so how concerned and it is the mold oven leadership? do you think about that country security? i think that they are rightly concerned because it's right next to a country that is at war. we have within the mold open country, interesting history of the russian army being present and to be on high alert and also to act accordingly. i think it's the right coal. nevertheless, the, the, the immediate danger, especially from a military invasion i would calculate is very low, because i don't see that the russian army would have capacities for that subversive

and initiatives and possibilities to destabilize the government. but also the country itself is something that is definitely going on, less subtle when it comes to the rising energy prices. and then maybe a bit more subtle. with the electric plans that have been uncovered. i'm by the ukranian secret service and transferred to them having urges and how much has this war, the war in ukraine changed moldova relationship with russia. i think that especially with the now even more immediate danger, that the russian administration would act violently. and it has changed significantly, the security prospects of mold over itself. they have been subject to russian hybrid warfare and russian interference through the spreading of fake news

and the like for years. but especially with the pro european course of the president sunday. and also the party of action and so that there are to you as a solid majority in the middle of and parliament. and that now even received candidate status to become a new member. i have been very much under pressure from the russian side because as a lover of said that our entire russian, thank you for that. sebastian chef from the institute for the danube regional central europe. my pleasure. i think you got more stores making news around the world now, former us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley. as an asset you'll run for the republican presidential nomination in 2024. she's the 2nd content to join the race after her former boss, the former president, donald trump. recent polling shows you has a back you just said republican virgin should be back at the china president. jason
