7:01 pm
worth natural disaster for a century. but more than a week on emergency crews are still pulling survivors alive from europe. ah, i'm so very welcome to the program. ukraine's western allies are meeting in brussels to discuss further military assistance for keep us defense. secretary lloyd austin said they're doing all they can to keep ukrainian forces supplied with our new nation. they also said the west expects ukraine to launch an offensive in the spring all your premium ukraine. defense contact group includes nato countries and keys. non nato bacchus secretary, austin said that alice would remain united and resolute for as long as it takes about a year ago. thought machine. but ukraine was an easy target. heaton assumed
7:02 pm
that keith would easily fall and put in assumed that the world would stand by what 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 rich. together we seek a world where disputes are resolved peacefully where sovereignty is respected, where borders are honored. and we're civilians are protected by correspondent terry shows that nato headquarters in brussels. and i asked her 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
7:03 pm
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 today 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 of 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,
7:04 pm
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 clinic. 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 to day 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, and that they impress everybody and everybody understands just how urgent this is
7:05 pm
for them. and that's something that we heard time and again, at today's meeting, every one saying that with the russian offensive, the spring offensive of perhaps already underway now is a really crucial moment in the war. and germany's 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. it 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,
7:06 pm
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, about to terry terry shows in brussels. his look at the bookstore, so making news around the world, china's present, she's in pain as i'll be close. relationship between gratian onto rom, iranian leader, ever. i'm writing, she's on a 3 day visit to china. the focus on strengthening trade and economic ties to reform or you, or some basses or to the united nations. nikki haley has an ant. she'll run for the republican presidential nomination in 2024. she's the 2nd contented to join the
