6:19 pm
a series of addresses today in the capital key in answering a range of questions from the media. he spoke about his piece formula. he talks about war crimes and bringing pub traces to justice. he addressed the support from all the countries standing at ukraine side and also those countries who are not so keen to offer their support. joining me here in the studio to break down. everything that he talked about is the w, senior, political analyst, melinda cray. melinda. he talked about an awful lot of things there, showing off his very well known communication skills, often striking a very personal tone and what stood out to you in what he said. well, 1st of all, absolutely, his stamina and endurance. you know, this is a man who is working 247, and yet the questions kept on coming and he kept on answering them. and as you said, often showing a lot of personal emotion. for example, when he talked about which to the town in ukraine where evidence of mass murder and
6:20 pm
war crimes came to light last april. and he was, you know, that there was deep sorrow in his voice and, and in the pause that he took before answering, we also heard a lot of firm resolve. there we heard humor and warmth, for example, in his outreach to australia and also to, to brazil saying, please help us, you know, come to us. we heard professions of gratitude not only to the u. s, which you might expect, but also to countries that had been, as he said, hesitant, but now had come around and there he named germany by name not always in the easy relationship, but a lot of gratitude there as well. and we saw some very careful diplomatic skills at work as well. for example, when he said to the us, you know, if you, if you start backing down from supporting us,
6:21 pm
think about what you're going to be losing. you will lose your leadership position in the world, or most, especially when he talked about china, where he was very, very cautious in his wording. he tried to be positive. he said, you know, they have put this out on the table and it's important that they're part of the discussion. and at the same time, he indicated his very strong awareness that should shine and move to deliver weapons to russia. it could be a game changer for this war. he referred to world war 3 in that context. and he said, i am doing everything i can to prevent that. so an enormous range in his answers. and he did go into quite a lot of detail about his, his piece formula, didn't he? the 10 points put food at the un on which he was saying that all progress towards peace must now be base, right? so what's that about? well, he said again and again, we cannot negotiate with vladimir putin right now. this police formula that was actually put out there as early as last fall is about essentially establishing the
6:22 pm
conditions under which the crane could imagine piece. so putting those conditions out before they get to a negotiating table, and they include the traditional pillars of any conflict termination, which is a cessation of hostilities. withdrawal of troops restoration of territorial integrity, return of war prisoners and detainees. but they also go beyond that, and that's where it really gets interesting because essentially the other conditions are part of a larger framework that would allow ukraine to believe it could build a future free of threat from russia. so that includes food security, energy security, nuclear security, security guarantees for from other countries because they're not going to become a member of nato any time soon. this would essentially be a form of guaranteeing security in the event of any attack and very very important or crimes prosecutions that has been something that has come up again. and again today we heard it when he talked about the children being kidnapped. clearly
6:23 pm
a very key issue for ukraine. i did want to talk to you about the war crimes. it was brought up a couple of times by different journalists. he spoke about the work being done now to bring perpetrators to justice. but it just seems like almost an impossible task, doesn't it? why is this? why does this matter so much and, and can it really ever happen bringing these people to justice. so presidents zalinski called very directly and by the way, so as well, did mr. coll, labor in the security council discussions for a credit criminal tribunal for russia itself. why that? because we have an international criminal court in place, but neither ukraine or russia are parties to that. and therefore, we could not see such prosecutions occur there. so 1st question, will they ever occur at all? i have to out myself here. i actually did a lot of coverage in the early ninety's of the foundation of the international criminal tribunal for yugoslavia. the former yugoslavia which eventually became the
6:24 pm
international criminal court. we said at that time, is this ever going to happen? could we imagine as a yugoslavia was falling apart and there was fighting in bosnia and kosovo in croatia in serbia that we would ever see milosevic in the dark. we did see that happen. things can change, therefore, we should never believe that prosecutions will not occur. and why are they important? they are under the security council's jurisdiction precisely because they are a piece making measure. we have worried so often about the fact that russians don't seem to know what's going on in their country. they don't seem to know what this war has meant for the ukrainians. trials are a way for them to learn about that. it means that is away from russia itself to rebuild after this terrible conflict, we should never give up on war crimes. a w senior political analyst melinda crane,
6:25 pm
helping us break down everything that president lensky just said. thank you so much . now german chancellor will have saw it says among the world leaders marking the 1st anniversary of the war in ukraine by making an address about the conflict speaking today. charlotte's said that russia has failed in its war aims, and that he pledge that there'll be no less up in support for ukraine at take lesson or to feel his day in february on 24 february was held off to you. we see the 1st anniversary of the rational and tackle against ukraine, a war which marks a watershed moment for one year. now the ukraine has been in a brave and resolute defensive war again for a brutal horde of aggression books here and to day would like to use this opportunity to thank the ukrainians for devotional,
6:26 pm
their willingness to sacrifice their courage and their lodge long, incredible perseverance to succeed in germany, huron, and everybody in the world who abides by international rules was it i'm, we are grateful to ukraine. this became very clear again today when the invited by the japanese, your prime minister, we was, i'm came together in the d 7 room for a video conference to live without him. his ellen ski, the ukrainian president, was assured by us once again. we will support ukraine as long as it takes in political humanitarian, financial terms and with one on arms deliveries. arden west on every month, but in i'm not 1000000000 us dollars. that is $7000000000.00 euros in direct financial aid have been provided by the g $7.00 for ukraine. and germany is taking a leading role in it since the beginning of the law. the bilateral support by germany,
6:27 pm
or to ukraine, amounts to more than 40000000000 euros for this financial support is vital. it was for ukraine law because even during a war, state must be able to pay the soldiers. and 2 of them rendered government services that are not in this circle. we are agreed then from the i m f . and we will have to avoid provide a support program for ukraine. and even though the war is raging on, we are already thinking about the reconstruction out of this country so badly destroying result in autumn together with you commission president ursula vonda line. i had invited an international conference to come to berlin and reconstruction is ukraine's is going to be a java felt a generation of, to the ideas develop procedures to enable permanent support for reconstruction on the basis of financial institutions as well as private capitalism. finance 0 little
6:28 pm
apart from financial supported will tylenol, social are given, the brutal russian aggression ukraine will continue to need title military equipment to defend itself and it citizens. and we also organize that close alignment with our partners. easing alternately and a sound and sustainable military support. for ukraine can only thus will be provided germany is shouldering a lion share of the military support the arms delivery. we provided heavy weapons for example, ah, how it says we have multiple rocket launches. our didn't get poxy, stanley. and one of our focus pollies is the iris g air defenses of them which we've provided in addition and 14, modern by a leopard 2, a 6 model battle tanks have been handed over this spring as well as other types of tanks. and we will continue this together with denmark, the netherlands. ukraine will also receive leopard one,
6:29 pm
a 5 tanks from industries donors. we also support the training of ukrainian soldiers on the let's see tanks for do this wall or is proteins hold instantly. it is up to russia hosen, at tortuga costed, or to end this war, which has already cost thousands of lives into lost until suffering. it can be ended immediately by stopping or fighting and withdrawing troops outside in the ukrainians or paying the highest prize for rushes, unjust. the brutality died, but the whole world is suffering from this russian aggression energy. prices. prices are fertilizer, and food stars have skyrocketed worldwide. ebay, and it is the poorest in the world who suffer the most. so psyched once does give but isn't legal, is shows honestly that this war is about to lessen matters of plenty of. we must not allowed newmellon tree wisconsin. the luckless group will wills when for sure,
6:30 pm
that it's possible to alter national boundaries by force and up by the mighty will triumph. yet he got booth for keith, and even after a year of lauren blanchard, sadly, i see no signs that rushes trying to enter his side. criminal warned the contrary, putin continued to bang on his irresponsible nuclear conduct. and he is even an owl in saying that the last to t a g g agreement, the new start agreement with the united states is to be put in reserve on stuff will notice the pressing. and yet we must not be discouraged of right. i hope we need to keep house la pressure orders for so that russia can be returned to the principles of international law in front of and that will finally be ready to sit down at the negotiating table. and of course them of eyes also requires economic to invite measures in the g 7 we agreed to continue coordinating our.
