ah, take a look back at into the future in slowly in february on d w. ah, ah, ah. ah, this is dw news live from berlin, new leaders called for more munitions to be sent to ukraine at the munich security conference. you foreign policy, chief yourself, barrell says the west must speed up, military support. rail also backs a proposal by estonian prime minister kaya kal,

us for joining you joint ammunition procurement to boost supplies to keep our so coming up new zealand counts the cost of cycle and gabrielle $11.00. people are dead with thousands, forced to leave their homes and billions of dollars in damage. and the rise and fall of a tennis legend. boris becker is up in berlin film festival. he's presenting a film that looked at his life with a surprise when at wimbledon, at age 17, to a prison sentence for tax evasion. ah, i'm nick spicer. welcome to the program. the munich security conference has wrapped up with a call for the european union to speed up military supplies to ukraine is stony, as prime minister kaya callous was among those urging members states to act jointly in buying ammunition and other weapons. also taking part of the conference was

china's top diplomat wing. he says beijing is to present a peace plan to end the war, but many in the west remain skeptical. o navigating a new reality is the central theme of this year's munich security conference. nearly a year after russia invaded its neighbour, ukrainian president followed him. is the lensky remains resolute. so there is no alternative to ukrainian victory. there is no alternative to ukraine. and in the e u, there is no alternative. you. great in natal. as russia ramps up it's offensive in ukraine's east, european leaders made it clear that piece will have to come on keith's terms. typically, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine of ukraine fighting for its independence and serenity. it has to decide, and what time they want to sit down at the negotiation table with the aggressor.

but as the war drags on with no end in sight, attention also turned to the white global implications of the conflict. western nations may have united behind ukraine, but the wider world remains divided secretary general. when all of the jing is watching closely the war in the right of nickels to present through the winds there, it will impact the calculations on the on positions they will make a engaging for its part. china announced it would forward a piece proposal for a political solution to the conflict, but many in europe remain skeptical. just aren't as you put in. china has taken side very clearly. it has signed the unlimited friendship agreement with russia. so it has taken a specific position. we should keep that in mind. china is not neutral towards the whole process. as we are not neutral, we are backing of course ukraine. many fear the,

china's proposals will include terms that ukraine and the west cannot accept making it even more difficult to rally global support for a ukrainian victory. and our chief international editor richard walker has been following the talk to munich and shared these insights with us. meaning, security conference this year, pretty much mark the one year anniversary of the invasion of ukraine. one year ago, it was just before the invasion took place. europe and the west were on 10, whether it would actually happen for me to lensky. the ukrainian president came here in a last ditch attempt to try to get more west in support. but as we all know, that invasion happened days later. and since then, europe has turned into almost like a war time, consonant with countries like germany, which had a history, pretty much pacifism,

and not providing weapons into conflict situations. 70 turning things on their head and providing huge amounts of support, financial, military, and otherwise, to ukraine. in its fight back against russia, ukraine has sent me inspire the west, a by the way, it's been able to fight back and it's asking for more support. and by and large here at the meeting security conference over this weekend, you can see that the west is by and large, quite united in wanting to keep supporting ukraine. the slogan that many leaders using is for as long as it take. so western unity one take away from this conference by and large details where there are debate by large. but the other take away from this conference is that the world is very far from united. and i think the biggest discrepancy that we took with were going the china is talk diplomat took to the stage here in munich and delivery speech, which was pretty much a tirade against the united states. blaming the us for ties dividing the world,

trying to rally democracies into a cold war against china. china sees the united states as standing in its way and this pervades through all of chinese attitudes as you act in the world to day. tony says, for instance, that he's going to be proposing a peace plan for dealing with ukraine war. but there are great fears in the west that that piece plan could include terms that would be very difficult for the west to accept. and then that will stop presenting them with a dilemma in trying to rally more global support. so western unity by and large global division by lodge. i think that's the takeaway from this weekend's music security conference in another years time. really, nobody here knows quite well the state of the world will be then at the munich security conference also saw the premier of a film about the opposition leader. belarus, says lancey canoe sky was forced into exile after challenging leader alexander
