ah, it has been one year since russia began. it's full scale invasion of ukraine. part of europe is now a war zone again. and geo politics have shifted for better or for worse. see china and russia, if russian president vladimir putin wanted 2022 to be his year to reclaim some national glory in battle. ukrainian president voldemort zalinski is vowing that 2023 will be the year ukraine's force his claim victory. by finishing the bat, i'm broke off in berlin. this is the day. ah ah, in the year ago and zeus they, we, everybody was shocked. those of us. it was a very difficult year. i stuff,

a terrible loss. i hope the piece will come full this hour will end with we survived. bombardments didn't really we survived the atrocities windows, doors were blown out, but we only got stronger. creepy tickets just we no longer feel any emotions looking. it's just the abyss emptiness. there are no words to describe is state people just type. we are fighting almost whole year without any stop. also coming up in their own words, ukrainian women remembering what they saw, heard salt and felt when they decided to flee the war. we woke on a big ocean and i remember turning my head to my

husband and she looked at me and said, no, it can be any one woman. is that an even bertha? and i met a woman lot for kids because it was presto, hard to die, one woman can in heart attack. and by the time we went to pulling my hands my shaking me and were shaking but to our viewers watching on tv us in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day marking a one year of war in ukraine with wishes, words, and weapons. one year ago today, russia's military began a full scale invasion of ukraine from the north east and south in the 12 months that would follow thousands of troops, russian and ukrainian died. there is no way to verify the numbers, but estimates run as high as 200000 casualties on the russian side and more than a 100000 ukrainians. the front lines have shifted mostly in favor of the ukrainian

military. once the u. s. the u. k. in european allies began sending heavy weapons. ukraine was able to push back the invaders, especially in the north. today the 1st western battle tanks, german made leopard 2 tanks arrived in ukraine. the united states today announced another $2000000000.00 and military aid, including drones, ukraine's president zalinski today saying again that once his forces have the weapons that they need, they will be able to end this war. and that takes us from weapons to words. president zalinski addressed his nation to day, promising to win the war. as early as this year he said, provided ukraine's allies remain united and continue sending weapons. dear colleagues, we withstood this year, we started to free our land from russian evil. we are in the top of security to

international relations and you and i can make these here to 023 to be the year of the end of rational rest, the year of the return to peace, the year of the liberation of our land, and our people from russia, captivity with the group examinations answered zalinski today by reaffirming their support for ukraine and condemning russia at the united nations in new york. you are secretary of state entity, blink, and warned against calls for a temporary cease fire saying that this would only allow russia to replenish its forces. and this sentiment was echoed by germany's foreign minister. this war is not the world war. this war is not the wall of the russian people. this war is put in swarm. the russian president is risking the future of his own country,

of his own soldiers, his own children. that's why a just peace, a peace plan presented yesterday by the 141 states at the general assembly is also in the interest of the people of russia. oh, it goes without saying that ukrainians want this war over as soon as possible. but how to get to that end, zalinski is adamant that negotiations cannot take place as long as russian forces are attacking his country. no sign of a pullback from the kremlin, but russia's allied china has laid out a possible plan to end the fighting. at the same time, the u. s. as beijing could be providing lethal military aid to russia for use in ukraine, china as a credible mediator, wishful thinking, or denied zalinski has confirmed that he plans to meet chinese president. she's in pain or discuss this in just a moment, but 1st, a look back at one of the,

at one year of the russian invasion of ukraine. one year ago, rush their attacks ukraine from 3 sides in the north. armored units came over the border from russia's ally, belarus. they were air and land attacks from russia itself in the east and from the south forces flowed from russia, occupy crimea. russia's navy also attacked from the black sea ukrainian soon so that the russians had under estimated them a massive colon of russian tanks, heading towards ki if was stopped in its tracks. the battle, the key of was lost and it was clear that wouldn't be the quick victory. the moscow that many expected, by april russian troops had retreated from the north. they regrouped to focus their efforts on the east and the south. the city dick se and port city of mary apple had been surrounded since the early days of the war. and in may,

it finally fell to russian forces. the city that had been home to 450000 people, lay in ruins. but russian victories remain few and far between. in september, ukraine's military surprised russia with a lightning offensive that reclaimed large sways of the hockey of region. ukraine then proceeded to liberate the city of her son too, in a major humiliation for the russian army russian troop morale was said to be low. meanwhile, ukraine was benefiting from an increasing flow of high tech western weapons, including the high mars multiple rocket launcher. this allowed key of forces to hit far behind enemy lines, cutting off supply routes and hitting ammunition depos. since re taking har give and her son, the front line has been mainly stable with russia focused on capturing the city of

back malt. this is part of an effort to take the entirety of the done yet sc and the hands provinces, one of russia's original stated goals. so what's next? russia has pulled hundreds of thousands of new conscripts into the fight. but the latest offensive pushing along the front line in the dorm bus has so far yielded no major gains for russia. what? meanwhile, ukraine is also gearing up for a counter offensive. and is expecting deliveries of dozens of advanced battle tanks from germany colon written and the u. s. ukrainian soldiers are also getting training from nato on sophisticated military maneuvers that could help them punch through the russian lines and take back more territory. how far they can go is another question. it's clear that key of can only keep fighting as long as the weapons keep flowing from its western allies. well,

one year into this war. what next? my 1st guess tonight is let's see, a bustling co, a member of the ukranian parliament for the opposition. miss vessel inca. it's good to have you on the program. there is a lot to discuss on this dreadful anniversary. i want to ask you, do you share your president's confidence that ukrainian forces will be able to win this war by the end of this year? we not, and this now now let the way around it. i, when i say we, it's not just for something that he crane musty, but it's something our western allies must still say. because as it was raining that we rely nicely on assistance, military assistance from the west. the more comes in and the foster comes in, the siena mint east longstanding, peace can be brought back in to europe. we as a vein, the 1st western beveled tanks have now arrived in ukraine. now,

how close is your government? your president, president zalinski? how close is he to convincing ukraine's western allies to send fighter jet was that's all, it's a work in progress. and it's been a work in progress for one year. now i remember my 1st intervention was just foreign media and with my counterparts in many part of the world, i was asking the site kind of thankfully means to provide the grain with spy to jets. so it can have less on her abilities from russian missiles, russian brands attacking civilians. this, this is still a much needed element of the defense system of the brain. we need to be able to make our skies say, and then the way to do it was, it was modern. hi john. i have very much to west realizes i've been

imperative to end the war by end of spring 2023, maybe by end of summer 2025. that the victory will be quite longer in the pipeline. what do you say when people say that you are engaging in wishful thinking? when you say ending the war by the spring or summer of 20? 23. well, let's make this wishful thinking, reality realistic and then realistic thing that this war will end in russia is only when russia and russian government is brought to responsibility to justice as the anyway. and the aggression and the act of aggression and then have just brought and then have reparation stayed out. this is the only guarantees that exists in the world today for a non repetition of aggression. for

a long standing piece. very simple is that we have to be realistic about what is being realistic to say that a victory will have to include russia, giving back all ukrainian territory, including the crimean peninsula. is that realistic, or would there be a possibility to negotiate? possibly saying yes to russia, keeping crimea i this question always makes me laugh because it's very nice. the thing that if we appease the dresser that we will be able to, to bring peace, especially long standing piece. if you look especially at crimea, crimea what's what it all started from back in 2014, not last year, and i'm the past 12 months. but in the past 9 year war has been going on going on long term and it started start with the completion of the regions. and this is

where you then was the, the occupational they say, regions the world have tried to negotiate around those areas to appease russia. these areas have remained under russian occupation 9. now i'm great, where does the, does this let us to 24th february, last year date we all are following. remember the reason why we're not speaking to each other now with this appeasement led to an escalation to the scale that you haven't seen for for decades. now you've already it will make your lithia, lego. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us. share your story and i'm sure many people around the world are hoping along with you that the war will comes . the end of the board will come sooner rather than later. thank you. ok. with the russian invasion of ukraine, that this war in the middle of europe is now entering. it's 2nd year and there is

no end in sight. even with western weapons. will ukraine's military ever deal a final defeat to russian forces ukraine's staunch allied. the united states have said that the war cannot be won by military means and its urging diplomacy. with that in mind, we asked what could an end to the fighting, possibly look like? one year of constant fighting a new russian offensive already underway with the 2 sides ever sit down and make a deal. there have been several rounds of talks that. busy but both sides have blamed the other for negotiating in bad faith. the 2 sides did come together in a deal to allow grain to be exported from ukraine's ports. but the agreement only happened under immense international diplomatic pressure with a hunger crisis looming in many parts of the world. the

relationship between russian president vladimir putin and his ukrainian counterpart volota may zalinski makes the prospects for peace even more remote potent describes the ukrainian government as fascist. and leo nazi holidays. zalinski has said that he's ready for dialogue with russia, but not while potent is in power. russia is unlikely to subdue ukrainians who see the war as an existential battle. but if you crane runs too low on ammunition or soldiers, it will be difficult to resist. russia's overwhelming superiority in numbers. williams, post analysts say putin sees conquering ukraine as his legacy. restoring russia status as an imperial power. like though he stakes so much on the war, he can't afford to lose faith by backing down. but if enough, russian soldiers die, he may face domestic backlash and change his calculations. that means the conflict

has settled into a contest and to see what country can stand more pain with russia now losing hundreds or even thousands of soldiers every week and ukrainian suffering through an invasion that has driven many from their homes and destroyed much of the country fairly this year, russia said no diplomatic solution was in sight and both sides have big plans to take territory. any solution seems months away at the very least. joining me now from london is bill broader. he's the ceo of hermitage. capital management bill has also been called vladimir putin's number one enemy in part because of laws holding russia accountable for human rights violations that he has lobbied such as the u. s. global mag it ski act bill. it's good to have you back on the program. you saw in heard president zalinski today. i mean,

he's laid out his terms for what has to happen in order for, for him to even consider talks with russia. i mean, he wants one of your books to pull back is zalinski. is he engaged in wishful thinking? there well, i mean, the real problem you have here is that vladimir putin cannot, in any way pull back concede, make compromises, or negotiated. he never has in his history. in his mind, any type of negotiation is a sign of weakness, weakness. it creates huge risk for him staying in power. and if he loses power, he goes to jail, loses his money and dies. and so for putin, this is really all or nothing. and i hear all of these people talking about, you know, trying to get diplomacy into the process and negotiation. and i just don't like knowing what i know about vladimir putin and i know

a lot about him having fought with him for 13 years. that's not going to happen, that the only way this thing is going to resolve itself is either ukraine wins or of russia when we say that way. and god forbid russia when we have heard it even leading up to the beginning of this invasion that we have to hit putin in his pocket book where it hurts with sanctions. but those sanctions that they haven't produced the desired results have the or am i reading it wrong? well, so the, so the sanctions have been absolutely punishing we've sanctioned. we've the, the west has frozen $350000000000.00 of russian central bank reserves. the west has a sanctioned, a hundreds of billions of dollars of oligarchy money. and there's all sorts of restrictions on russian banks. they can't transact, all sorts of things have happened. but there's one huge, huge loophole. you could drive several trucks through this loophole. and that is, that russia continues to sell it gas and it's oil. pretty much without restriction

. there's a minor restriction on oil. but, but what that means is that russia is getting between $500000000.00 and a $1000000000.00 a day from the west every day. and they and russia put, use that money to kill ukrainians and as long as get russian gas and oil can be sold either to the west or to the east that the, the, he's going to always have enough money to continue to conduct this war. and so that's the, that's the thing we all have to get our head around is that we need to starve him of those resources. and we haven't really kind of tighten the screws to do that. and that's where the problem lies. if i'm reading, you write that bill, it sounds like you're saying, if you want to stop what a report you can't aim at him instead, you have to aim at his customers such as iran, india, china, the ones that are buying or even, you know, you've got african countries that are buying oil and natural gas from russia, they have to stop doing that. well,

it were also buying russian oil or oil products. so, you know, the sometimes russia will export its crude oil to india and then india will sell. it's a refined products to us, and so we've got to get a lot smarter, a lot more sophisticated, a lot tougher. if we want to cut into putin's cash flow, because as long as he has cash flow, he's going to continue to kill ukrainians. and he has absolutely no incentive to negotiate, and i don't think anyone should fool themselves that you can, you can declare that you want diplomacy. putin doesn't do diplomacy. hooton's just a really nasty piece of work, a goes out and kills and escalates gilbert elder. as always, we appreciate your valuable insights on this dreadful anniversary. thank you. thank you. an estimated 8000000 ukrainians are now living abroad after fleeing their country. in the past year, another 8000000 have been displaced within ukraine's borders. d. w spoke to 3 women, all forced from their homes about their experiences of the war. early

morning we rolled out the explosions. and i remember turning my head to my husband and he looked at me and said, no, it's kind of the company you shared explosion. and if you're here and the 1st few days, don't worry. we don't know. it's just explosion. but we really know what to do because this is something though unusual. when i checked your country, the workers started to your country and we were lost. everybody was running around with the suitcase cards. kids crying for a month old baby had a breathing problem. so she needed an relations and she needed to be injection and they might get to the but they think jackson, there was eric byron,

the daughters go to the basement. now we went to the basement and there was a for the day, but the night and then with bands they are all the night next. almost 4 months. every time when we were heading road just ready to head to the railway station. the explosion started again. one of the things in our, in ordinary took up to date one woman is that given birth. and now mary woman law for kid because it was spread so hard to die. one woman started having heart attack. if it was, it was still shaken and by the time went to pulling my hands were shaking my edward shake and i could not say a word, but a time i saw that my children, they are mental house is getting worse and worse and worse. and in september my old

daughters to and they agnes with nursing from she's i'm and she's starting here. oh sure. i believe her eyelash is and this oak ink and eating it was with i cried the look when we crossed the border, it was the equally un, maybe on the credit of order and when is full and i realize how my shred here, i was all this time all of its 8 months in keith and ukraine. i made a little, it's erica, loud noises, but at or at the railway station. and there was this train. i mean, they said, oh no, the war has started at all. and i still struggling, getting into my head that in the 21st century, people who are able to send her space ships out on

this that can i just stand up and going kill somebody because of some crazy notion or idea 20 square feet looks great cemetery a list of people who died and just when i opened my instagram, it's like one story. if someone died in the hoot another story, someone died in one's creature or something and it always just so young, beautiful people. and sometimes i just feel like i'm a walking target and and one day they could hit my nose to or they could kill my relatives, my friends. i think i got used to everything. but i realized that i feel stressed out like, by default, scare thing when these sirens send, you have to go to the shelter people. i think it all k. i have at least like 20 minutes. i can go buy bread and then i'll go to

a shelter or something like this. so the war is arthur their lives. the war gave us the less, i never say never. and i think is impossible. and honestly, i had them on health plan because it is important the boat fence finally, several people have reportedly been detained in russia after taking part in what authorities they are deemed illegal, protest activities on the 1st anniversary of the war. in moscow, some people laid flowers at a monument honoring a famous ukrainian poet. some of them were led away by security forces. similar scenes we understand were reported it memorial sites in a handful of other cities. and with that, the war begins a 2nd year. the day is almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter at t w news, you can follow me on twitter at rit. gov t v. have
