take a look back into the future in the new with slowing in february on d, w. ah, ah ah, this is d w. news alive from berlin. russian president vladimir putin is due to address the nation laying out his vision for the crime, rushes, political, and military a late have gathered for what is expected to be put in slightest thinking on the ukraine conflict. could launch the invasion of ukraine nearly a year ago. the station that is killed tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides

and set russia on a collision course with the waves. ah m anthony, how'd borkam russian president vladimir putin is said to deliver his state of the nation address in the major speech in moscow. putin is expected to address the boy in ukraine and set the tone for russia's upcoming presidential elections. you're looking at live pictures now. this comes just days before the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of its neighbour. russian forces have struggled to gain the upper hand in the conflict since invading on february 24. last year. i'm joined now in the studio by richard walker, date of these chief international editor, and from bone by russia, russia analyst, run and going to ring. welcome to you both, richard. i want to start with you and ask simply what we can expect today in the

switch yet. well, and this is this piece that preaching ordinarily should have delivered before the end of last year. so it's an annual speech and it was put off with the credit and saying at the time that you know that the schedule was packed, but there was no speculation. of course, when this was put off from when it would usually have taken place about, you know, the simple fact that, you know, the russian invasion is not going so well to putin is certainly not in a place now that you might have hope to be in when he started the war a year ago. so it's going to be interesting to look at the tone that he project person is obviously going to want to project a tone of confidence both to the russian people the, you know, we've got this under control. it's taking maybe a bit longer than we thought, but where we're going to achieve our goals and also to try and project confidence to the outside world, both to the west, which he sees now. very much is his enemy trying to thwart his plans stand in russia's way, and also perhaps to tacit support to such as china to indicate that he has the

domestic situation under control. so we've seen several of these speeches, obviously over the last, over the last year, not necessarily this particular address, but we've seen several major addresses by vladimir putin and some of them have been, have been certainly very aggressive in terms. it's going to be interesting to see, to what extent he uses also aggressive rhetoric in an attempt to, to frighten off the west, which he sees as the real thing standing in his way. because of course it's western support that is keeping you frank going in this war. roman. i want to go to you and born at the 1st anniversary date last year, when person breaking nice. the break away regions of denise can the hans can you find is independent, which was a prelude to the russian invasion of you cried. is that why some commentators are expecting to hear more about russia's war of aggression against the crime in the speech? well, it is very much possible that he will refer to that event,

russia recognizing the independence of those soda republics. indian ask in the hands of garage or supporting them for, for 9 years, nearly since 2014 and russia played a major role in their establishment through a, through its secret services who helped or the promotion separatist to, to get away from kia phone and proclaim independence which of which is of course, not recognized by the western by the ukrainian government. so i guess a put involved focus on, on what is to come, he will, and maybe refer to what happened in the last 2 weeks with russian forces taking solid are, which was the major and major success from russian point of view for many, many months or the last time the russian troops could take over ukrainian city was in summer or 22 with the city of several. denise can least chance. so

it's been a long way for putting to wait to to, to be able to speak of kind of a success, of course is a small success for him. he has been hoping for much more, but a, his major message, i think, would be we are ready for a long war. we are just getting started. we speculate as we wait for russian president vladimir putin to make his state of the nation address another one for you. roman does anyone know exactly what potent will say? is he the type of leader at this stage who sticks to a script? well normally he doesn't say in anything really new are mostly his species are a combination on what he has said in the past months. so it's a compilation in most cases, and this is i x or something that i expect her, that we will hear today as well. ah, there could be, it may be some nuances. it may be, it may be some i some i would say in wordings are we are,

we are as experts and as observers are, are looking for for the exact word how he says things. if he's being a rude to the worst, or he's polite, if he's trying to kind of our show and that he is ready to negotiate for those sus sank sanks, i think we should be looking up, run and will break in there as vladimir putin, his entering the room to make his state of the nation address. let's have a listen in to the russian president. a show us that morning. nobody do. good morning, or do you mean dear? figuring out o'brien is in love that remembers so a fur parliament was members of the duma sen isn't lovely as citizens of the russian federation towards murray. this speech comes at a very difficult time. a very crucial moment in our history here, but a few more we hang up soon, changes when you're in the world at large show we have historical nursery currently
