12:01 pm
panic after a new earthquake strike in southern turkey. at least 6 people are killed by the tremors hitting a region already devastated by a massive quake 2 weeks ago. ah, a mariner evanston, it's good to have you with us. in his state of the nation address, russian president vladimir putin falsely accused the west of starting the war and ukraine. hootin leased his televised speech with dis, information, speaking to an audience of military and political leads in moscow, which he vowed that russia would not be defeated on the battlefield and that the offensive would continue. he also said that the majority of people and you brains,
12:02 pm
eastern don, best region wants to be russian. here is more of once routine had to say it has lengthy address in 2014 the us variable. but i will start to find a king for its right to speak their own language to the home. when i have overcome the blockade and say, have always been here on the attack, what i see you and to persons living there have always hoped that russia would come to rescue them. well for more on to teams speech, let's bring in the w. moscow. bureau chief, you're a chateau who is now based in riga, latvia after russian authorities closed down d. w. as moscow office. you are very good to see you. so it was a rather long tirade against the west, and there was some clear victim blaming. i would say in the case of ukraine, what did you make of the russian president's remarks?
12:03 pm
well, as expected, indeed, fortune has tried to blame to blame the so called best for the one ukrainian to whitewash russia sections. there are western countries have become a symbol of lies. he says, pursing the air, i quote, the cynical interest and ross on the other hand has always been open to dialect, put and said, all in all. this was an extremely harsh criticism. home for the west babs, harsher than ever at nato expansion, was to once again an issue. it was them of the worst. it will start that the war and to lead rations, you said are doing everything we can do to end of this. why that is that the conclusion of your speech? basically it's the old fashioned way to reverse all accusations made against russia and to accuse the best and the same time. you will indeed, uri, i mean, we can see that there are very different takes on of russia's role in the ukraine war. and i'm just wondering how do people in russia view proteins, remarks,
12:04 pm
and do they believe all the things that he was talking about? well, as for your cranes and more arms, western you grand is supplied by the west. wooden sat, the further russia would push those arms back away from the russian border in indication that russia might not be satisfied with the annexed territories, but might try to annex more ukrainian territories. in any case, as this was a warning to ukraine and a warning to the west, as the question is, of course, where the russia can afford it militarily speaking. but we don't know how long this war will go on so far. there are no signs that putin intends to answer the boy anytime soon. i'm. but as important as the part about the war was for foreign countries or for the west, where you grant, it seemed unimportant for millions of russians because russian society as a whole, has long since given up up the attitude of protest. most say it doesn't matter what's happening in ukraine, unless the mobilization conserves to them personally are putting,
12:05 pm
knows that and that's why the 2nd part of his speech should of course, be more important for russians. it was about the social policy of his government. he once again gave some direct indications as to which population groups would receive additional payments and in for what in what form. the problem here too is that putting has been saying this for 23 years straight. perhaps what was new was that at this time put in the link to the expansion of the russian economy and social problems with the one your grand according to the motto: everything for victory. that was d w 0. we're chateau in riga, lapierre. you are a thank you and joining us now for the view from ukraine is salome ab raska. she is a ukranian legislator and former acton governor of the odessa region, is of rosco, welcome to d w. what is your reaction to vladimir putin is addressed to his nation today?
12:06 pm
greetings from k, i actually to be honest, there was nothing new for your cranium. except the only one thing that he again starts to rick my with a nuclear weapon. he announced that they rushes to spend their membership in nuclear treaty with the you ask them. that means that he's again starting than you, i would say. then you track and again and again to talk about about the nuclear miley. there is the 1st point and the 2nd he again read. i'm pushing on and the 3 and the regions with all of them. and they will continue getting up, trying to get control over 100. and that was nice to me. i'm the control the police on that means that we have the final solution on the front lines our my york week was pretty put the
12:07 pm
right thing. the nothing you 23 years and again and again the saying the same how we're trying to have a pencil ration on the russians progression and that's how they find to be foster and they come to pass that we have to be ready and we have to move on, on the phone, trying to put in also made a point of saying that russia is not at war against ukrainians, but rather against the key of regime, which he accuses of being a puppet of the west of being neo nazis. what is your response to that? i will say since 2014 when he started to save the q seem o prevents, were elected officially lead to make it live the make way. according to the do the elections,
12:08 pm
which were to live by the whole world. and by rationalization as well. so that's again legendary of stories about who is regime and they are not fighting with, with small children here in ukraine with the, with the old people. and they are tortures and they are crimes, work crimes they are making. unfortunately, he doesn't he didn't, he didn't mentioned that. and by the way, one think what to we are with my gleick saw that trying to find some of the faces in the home we haven't seen. and the mean, what are they, they, are they one more position or the union with unit and probably on here on the phone. so like, i think it's time to discuss how we react. and i think that's,
12:09 pm
that's what we want to see. and finally, we have just the only ones who respond to the phone when he is good news. i'm stepping and pushing you have the economy interest rushing to do more than the percent for the 3 that mean they are not ready to make a step back. they will go forward and forward until they will stop over to rush to you. and do you think at this point based on what am i putting remarks and everything you've heard today, should key of nevertheless negotiate with russia to bring about some piece? ah, i think i'm, there's very obvious answer from the whole ukrainian society which, you know, you couldn't prisons, lansky always saying publicly and very clearly we're not in good shape until they will withdraw the lot last soldier from trading tired. re until that time we don't
12:10 pm
see i and it was a good to do have any negotiations and to see me on the wrong table. no one from ukrainians, even this fight, we are too tired. we exhaust that. we have problems with their sources and so on. the one we can kind of say we're ready to, to talk about that too many lice. we, we lost due to high price. we bite not just not to see it now near the round table and to talk about any kind of negotiations until the withdrawal. we luster's that was ukrainian legislator salome of abroad. thank you so very much. thank you, duncan. well, what a mere putins false claims about the west. we're not just limited to strategic or military threats. he also railed against what he frames as the western threat to russia's traditional values. let's listen to what he had to say. it again, i don't understand. it is not possible to win
12:11 pm
a war against russia on the vandal field, and that is why they also wage in information will or will be because of course, they talk at the young generation in the 1st place. and here again, the young. they are actually lying, they distorting historical shots, they do not all of our religion, our culture, our conditionals organizations in the country. so 3 and for some analysis, i'm joined in the studio by richard walker and others chief international editor, richard. good to see you. so what do you make of proteins? digression into topics like same sex marriage and what he referred to as corrupt western values. yeah. well, it's a really war time propagandist, maria, i mean there are really quite absurd claims in this speech. for instance, a suggesting that children in the west are taught to compete of files. and i think what he's trying to do is rally public opinion to try to frame this as, as,
12:12 pm
as a clash, not just a between a military forces in ukraine, but a, but a clash of cultures. even even a kind of a moral war against what he sees is values that are a corruption of conservative values. so i think was question there is that, you know, this kind of talk was really goes against his, you know, the one had to trace it down, play this voice like to use the word boy, he's called that special military operation. on the other hand, you know, he hopes it up to being some sort of clash of civilizations. and we know that in the past speech is putin has even threatened to use nuclear weapons. was there any mention of that this time around? yes, so that wasn't really a direct threat to use nuclear weapons, but i think the single most important element in this speech came out just towards the end of the speech. and we, we just heard it referred to by the guest from ukraine. and this is him announcing
12:13 pm
that he is suspending rushes participation in an arms control treaty with united states court new start. now this arms control treaties, dates back to, it was agreed in 2010 and it dates back to an early agreement right back in the early ninety's, 991. and it's, it's an agreement between the united states and russia to limit their number of strategic nuclear weapons and strategic nuclear weapons. these big missiles that you can for a long way, basically, you know, from one country across into continental level of weapons. this is seen as a very, very key cornerstone of the stability of the world that you have an agreement between those 2 countries. not to go beyond certain levels in those in those forces . now in recent months, united states been saying that the russians have not being allowed,
12:14 pm
allowing american inspectors to go and inspect russian sites as part of the, the, this deal. this is something part of the deal. the, i can check the other site the russians have. so far sort of said, always to do with co vedo, you know, like given excuses for this. now put in saying, we're suspending cooperation saying why should we give the west access to these sites when they say they want to defeat a strategically accusing the west of planning nuclear tests, which it is certainly not planning to do. so certainly distortions in there, but a very major step that will be a worry for the entire world for you because this treaty is very important to ensuring a long term strategic stability between us and russia. daily is chief international editor richard walker. richard, always great. here in science you're watching the double you news still to come. reactions to putting feet are expected at
