8:06 pm
a $1000000000.00 worth of military age. the ukraine, including ammunition, radars, and other equip a gesture of solidarity and a vital reminder of unity between the u. s. and ukraine against russian aggression air raid sirens blaring across the ukrainian capital during u. s. president joe biden surprise visit. there were no reports of russian air strikes, but the sound is still a clear reminder that ukraine is under constant attack making support from the u. s . more important now than ever on here, shawn, we're very supportive from the national french sovereignty and territorial integrity. and today i hope we have a chance to discuss our united states and our allies are keeping constant contact group on our partners can most effectively support you and your current. your cause
8:07 pm
to present ukrainian president followed amir soleski voice his gratitude to the huge moment, supporting lee gray. and ah, what can i say? i really appreciate that president water america, society being from the where we, you know, this tragedy from the world. you know, this poor kid war on being together with feels full of supportive was from. why now to you, graham, and thank you for your leadership, thanks by boxes or thanks, congress. i think that is historical moment for all, for all concert the 2 presidents paid tribute at the wall of remembrance to the thousands of ukrainian soldiers who have lost their lives since 2014 biden's visit
8:08 pm
comes at a crucial moment in the war. as the us needs to keep allies unified in their support for ukraine is ukraine is to send off russian offensives in the spring lately. schooner dwi ibrahim, she is in that keep it force to night or you as president biden's, surprise, unannounced visit to keep it came at quite a significant time. did absolutely right. we're just a few days away from that one year mark from when i rushes warren ukraine started, and that was also something that president biden cited in his press conference today. he said, you know, i remember being on the phone with president lensky almost a year ago. hearing the bombs are going on behind president zalinski, and he said that he would never forget that phone call. and probably he was surrounded by advisors who did not think that cube or the government in cube would
8:09 pm
survive a few weeks let alone a whole year going strong. and so it was hugely symbolic that a year later, he's here standing next to president. as zalinski, understandably, the anniversary has made people him ukraine and in care of nervous that perhaps russia will be striking even harder around and on the anniversary. and so this has provided some country comfort and assurance not only to the to zalinski, but also to the people. earlier today i was out in key of the weather was a little bit better and i spoke to some people and here's what some of them had to say about the visit. but he said, i think it's a good sign for our country, and our entire situation to visit us at this time is a worthy gesture from a worthy president. no more, jackie said, maybe there will be some good surprises he store for ukraine. there the much, i think he is here now because the anniversary of the full scale invasion is coming . and to me, this visit is a symbol of support. it is a symbol that america is with her, america's nominal consumer. playlists talk
8:10 pm
a little bit about the support that blind promised to day. i mean, what kind of support are we talking about? it's important to know that the united states has been the biggest supporter militarily to ukraine since the war began. i mean the, by the end administration, since the invasion of february of last year has provided $30000000000.00 us dollars insecurity aid with what president biden announced today is an additional $500000000.00 us dollars on top of that. and that's basically to supply more weapons and more systems that have already been approved. so we're talking about artillery or ammunition, rocket launchers and so on. what he did in announce is the approval of any new systems or things like fighter jets, which are already a huge topic, hearing ukraine. and so that might be a little bit disappointing to people here because there's already the debate around whether or not or you should receive fighter jets, but still a very much welcome and appreciative visit by the u. s. president. and as you said
8:11 pm
earlier, this week does more the, the one year mark since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. how are people in ukraine? how are they dealing coping with the prospect of yet another major roshan offensive? i mean this, this word a major restaurant offensive, especially from the, is, has been sort of floating around here in ukraine for weeks and weeks. and virtually every other day we hear ukrainian official saying, well that the offensive has begun. and so i would say that people have gotten desensitized to it, but there is a sense that they have learned to live with that risk in that danger. so when that area alarm was going on earlier, as president biden was walking the street, i mean, officially, people would have to go to shelters in a situation like that. there was no panic on the street, people were just going on with their life. so i would say there's a sense of morning, a sense of resilience, but also a sense of, you know,
8:12 pm
nobody really want it to be marking this anniversary. and you know, there is still a glimmer of hope that maybe the end is in sight. and i, you to, it's, it's ironic a year ago to this very day, many were expecting a very quick more they were also expecting the ukrainian capital to fall to the russians now, fast forward a year. and you have the u. s. president as a guest of the ukranian president in akiva me and no one would have been predicting that one year ago. absolutely, absolutely. and that you could definitely see the surprise on people's faces as you walk down the street here. and just, you know, one cannot really overstate what this has done for ukraine and bringing it closer to the west. i mean, president zelinski is president. zalinski is 1st meeting with president biden, was in 2021. and he practically had to beg for that meeting. and so for fast forward 2 years later, obviously circumstances are terrible. but the united states president is here at a time where this countries under attack or social corresponded i abraham tonight
8:13 pm
in key. i think you will, after the u. s. of the u. k. germany riggs is one of the major providers of weapons to ukraine. germany is also trained ukrainian troops to day. germany's defense minister met ukrainian soldiers, who are training in the north west of germany bores pastorius invited ukrainian boxing legend by the mere clear co as well as the ukrainian ambassador to join him . ukraine's armed forces are being trained to use leopard at 2 tanks. berlin is leading a coalition of countries that of scrambling to provide ukraine with 2 battalions of the leopard, twos. in the next few months, he says that they are critical to pushing back russian forces. d, w 's, political correspondent, julia, so deli, she was at that military training ground today in northern germany. the training
8:14 pm
that ukrainian soldiers are going through here is more intense than usual 6 days a week for 12 hours per day. but german soldiers that are training them say that they are highly motivated. germany plans to train up to 9000 ukrainian soldiers here in the country. that was julian. so billy there reported the war in ukraine has revived memories of the 2nd world war here in europe. but it has also drawn european nations closer together. e foreign ministers are meeting in brussels ahead of that 1st anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine, as well as discussing plans to jointly procure ammunition to send to keep. the european union is preparing new sanctions against moscow. you foreign policy chief deals at burrell says that he expects the you to approve the sanctions by the end of this week. well also is said that delivering ammunition to ukraine is now the most pressing issue. yes, certainly,
8:15 pm
russia is alisha non offensive and he will continue. and we have to continue our strong on waving support to ukraine on to ukraine, prevails and wings for death. fine issue of essence speed means life's and we need to respond quickly. not only more support but to provide you quick. it was joseph barrow there speaking earlier today we want to bring in our corresponded rosie birger and she georgia from the european council in brussels. rosie told me a little bit more about these sanctions that joseph burrell is predicting that could be passed by the end of the week. or 1st of all, the thing to note is that these sanctions are not across the line yet. and sanctions at the european union level need to be unanimously approved. so by all 27
8:16 pm
members to promise i've spoken to say discussions are still tricky out. of course they need to get their skates on to reach that self imposed deadline of the one year anniversary. of that fateful day, one, almost one year ago when russia full scale invasion of ukraine took place now in terms of the content of these sections, burrell was keen not to be drawn too deeply on that. but he did point to expected export ban of key technology, so that from bar in european countries from exporting to russia, things like antenna, he talk about construction material. now those are things which the european union thinks russia might use too few, it's war machine. there might be some disappointment in q because ukraine would like to see russia's nuclear sector, targeted by sanctions, but based on what braille said, that looks unlikely till now. although burrell said he is going to come forward with proposals likely to occur on joint procurement of ammunition to gifts. ukraine
8:17 pm
. he said, quite stark terms, that it looks like the tank in you crate is getting empty and that it's no urgent to provide keith with ammunition in roads. we know that beryl has allotment as plate right now. what else did it talk about in terms of e foreign policy? small one topic, which was really hanging over these talks was that reports coming out of the united states that china may be considering arming russia. no, beijing has strongly refuted to those allegations. and when i asked yoseph burrell about this, he said it would be something which would mark an important moment. he said that was the most diplomatic language he could find. if china worked to pursue this, however, he was keen to note that in his, in his own talks with china's talk diplomat, beijing, stress at that is not on the cards at, that is not the plan, but still that likely a geopolitical topic. this one to watch, given the beijing says it's going to come forward with its own piece proposals for ukraine. that road would be interesting to see what comes out of there are
8:18 pm
