dominate the agenda, u. s. secretary of state and to be blanket has said he expects most of the g 20 to continue to back ukraine, and that he has no plans for bilateral meetings with his russian or chinese counterparts. in the video address, opening the summit and the ranger bodie says the group needs a reset to solve current, global issues. we must all economies that most d liberalism, egan cries is today. the ext williams of the last few years. finance or glitzy, glamorous g. by and emmy, that of them and vol. clearly, sol, bag global governance has fe. the majority of the g 20 or the majority of the g 20 a. continue to stand against russia's war,
8:03 am
retentions over that conflict are threatening to divide the group more than a year into the war in ukraine. the conflict is bogged down. western leaders have made isolating russia a priority. but has it worked? this is russia's foreign minister with his indian counterpart ahead of the g. 20 meeting in delhi trade between russia and india has boomed since the war began. it's hardly an outlier. russia is exploring long held frustrations with the west to build new alliances. the u. s. in europe have passed multiple rounds of sanctions on russia, but a failed to get critical countries like china and india on board. the war has also created food insecurity in many countries. and not everyone blames russia. many people blame the sanctions regime. and russia has pressed for more military cooperation with countries like china and south africa, expanding its arm, trade,
8:04 am
and participating in joint military drills, the bricks, group of countries, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa all have complicated relationships with washington and europe as do other countries in the middle east and africa, many see the ukraine war as a european problem, that the u. s. and it's western allies have turned into a global problem. they say the u. s. is being hypocritical, given its support for dictatorships in the past and anger over centuries of european colonialism is still very much alive around the world. with the outcome of the war still unclear. it's hard to say what will happen to the shifting world order, but the longer the war drags on, the more likely it seems. the divisions will harden european union's foreign policy chief, joseph beryl has been speaking with the w rita chamber about his expectations of the g 20 and of india when it comes to the war. and ukraine. international
8:05 am
community has to use all for a very important for because here to be represented almost 80 percent of the warranty, the b have to use all 4. i know that the political pressure and russia 1st of the war, 14 started to war. and russia has to stop it. and this is a good occasion in order to make conclusions on least make clear that international community is pushing to russia for stop in just very dependent on rochelle points defense needs. what is the european union doing to encourage india to diversify it's defense needs? well, we know which is if you hit or india, we know that he is playing a multi paula role abstaining, united nations being a good relations with russia. at the same time being part of the corporate being on the shanghai corporation organization. it's a country, you know,
8:06 am
it's difficult to view the world and most populated country and the world playing a multi dimensional foreign policy. and this brings to india and the possibility of having a strong influence and russia, and we expect to use this influence for russia to stop the war. a bro are talking to d. w only bureau chief, i'm rita cim, who joins me now from that. it welcome rita, i'm so we heard that never end remotely saying the global governance has failed. what do you think you meant? fill. what exactly said that the architecture of a global governance, which was set up after the 2nd world war, had failed in 2 respects. one was, it was aiming at preventing conflict by balancing competing interests. and the 2nd was international cooperation. and in both these cases, he said it had failed. and obviously this was, to some extent,
8:07 am
a reflection of their situation at the moment, the geopolitical tensions. and secondly, also said this failure had affected the developing countries the most, and that was the 2nd key point that he wants to make a during this meeting. he feels that india, i've been, it holds the g, a dent presidency as r, a d 20 presidency. is the voice of the global self. right, and i'm western countries are clear about that. they want the world to unite behind russia and the game step. sorry. so unite behind, you, craving, i'm against russia. i'm not, does look unlikely doesn't well, let's wait and see a fail because prime minister more, the talked a lot about division during his speech. he talked about it either. things need to change a bit. and he said, i can understand in discount geopolitical situation in the tensions that the foreign ministers are spending a lot of time on this issue of russia's invasion of ukraine. but he also said that
8:08 am
it's very important to remember that these are problems can only be overcome if people work together. and he pleaded and argued for that. but he did not once mention ukraine in his speech, he did not once mention russia or the word war. now we know what happened in the last ministerial meeting at the g 20. the finance ministers met in bangalore and they could not agree on the word wording. of the committee case that there was no human nikki, unlike in bonnie. right. so i'm away from the war a. what else can we expect from today's meeting? well i think this is focusing a lot of a sessions on issues which are close to the developing world. for example, they're talking about reform of multi multi lateralism and said what the things movie said. multi lateral lateralism is in a state of crisis. then they're looking at the impact on the developing world.
8:09 am
they're going to focus on food security, energy security, as well as fertilizer security. they want to look at terrorism, how to combat terrorism, narcotics, as well as human humanity in disasters. so all in a what a wide range of things, the thing which is over shouting this whole sum. it is what will be the final communicate over russia and ukraine. thank you so much for that. i'm racer. i'm ready to cima and your dad. while the war in ukraine take center stage and deli, moscow's been increasing tensions with claim to cave is using drones to attack its infrastructure, which ukraine has rejected. present protein has even accused the west of using terrorist cells to attack its territory drones over russia. the kremlin claims ukraine has tried to use them to attack civilian infrastructure. we give you a drone, fell in a residential area here in belgrade,
8:10 am
30 kilometers from the ukrainian border along with. but russia says the ukrainian drone also crashed hundreds of kilometers from the border in the moscow region. russian state media also report a drone being spotted over this oil storage facility and cross nador before it went up in flames. russian president vladimir putin has called on his intelligent service to stamp out threats to russian soil from ukraine and the west example the in it has to do with the west attempts to provide extremist and terrorist cells on our territory. we know that never shied away from using radicals and extremists in their own interests. they'll use any means available to fight us. is just meanwhile, the war of attrition and eastern ukraine drags on the heavy fighting along the front here and in southern ukraine has seen attempts by both sides to move the line sometimes by just a few meters military experts say ukraine could start
8:11 am
a counter offensive in the south in about a month time and couldn't cedar was formed in, so i tie then they could split the russian front and to and bring their artillery much closer to crimea down then they'd be in the position to cut off or knock out the logistic routes it took crimea with high mas rockets at a range of 80 kilometers, also mid october. then they could bring the war to crimea without having to march in with conventional troops. him, he nines at garden or not, does he convince in a much he and wrist support has come from nato's chief, who once again pledged military aid to ukraine, was oh, role as a well they dollars. i agree that ukraine will become a member of our reliance a but at the same time, the thought that this a long term perspective, what is the, what is the issue now is to ensure that ukraine prevail as a sovereign infant in the plantation. and therefore, we need to support tra, ukraine. in buck, mood, ukrainian troops need all the support they can get,
8:12 am
their physician and the strategically important eastern city is almost completely surrounded by russian mercenaries. only one road out remains open. if the time comes to retreat off holland, michelle, as a researcher on the emerging military technologist and wrote the book ice in the sky about annual drones. welcome to d w. what's your assessment of uh, visa, russian at claims that ukrainian drones have been brought down in russian territory? well that i think they're entirely credible. what is the most notable? i think about these drones though, is that they are not all that sophisticated that they're pretty rudimentary. i mean they, they, they have propellers, they don't fly very fast or very high, and they're pretty small. they don't actually carry a lot of explosive either. ready so the fact that they're able to penetrate so deeply into russian territory with such a technology as is kind of stunning, right? a given that, that ukraine has rejected responsibility for those drones. and given what you've
8:13 am
just said about them being a small and not being able to carry much explosives, how might that actually fit into ukraine's military strategy? well, the thing about these trends is that even though they aren't going to come anywhere close to having the effect of, you know, say, a battalion of tanks or, you know, tillery barges. they had their, their low cost technology, their low cost, both in terms of actually monetary cost, but also they don't have people on board, then you don't have to sacrifice soldiers when you use drones. so even if they're not going to necessarily create an enormous amount of sort of physical impact on the ground, you know, we're talking about them right now. they, they, they have a big impact in terms of demonstrating that ukraine can be a nuisance and create effects within russian territory to be able to do that with a relatively accessible technology. you know, it's, it's
8:14 am
a very strategic and an important advantage. i think for ukraine in, in, in this conflict, because as i understand it, if the russian claims are true and we disbelieve the ukranian denials, then these are these drones would have been used to target civilian infrastructure . well the point about the drones is that yeah they, they, they, i actually couldn't say whether they were being, you know, whether they landed or they went close to what they were actually supposed to be targeting. you know, that obviously is the unknown here. but, but yeah, i mean, the point more, i think, a broader point besides this sort of precision is the fact that they're able to close down russian s space. you know, i'm at these effects i think go beyond the actual physical impact. and as we saw that the drones didn't seem to work, i mean, depending on who's claims,
8:15 am
you believed that you know that none of them actually hit their targets or what we may assume to have been that targets. i mean, while we know that we do, we know that russia is using iranian, supplied so called a kamikaze drones. how effective have they been? they initially what were very effective, but our ukrainians did seem to place some catch up in figuring out how to prevent these attacks by shooting them down with intelligence sort of full warning systems . the big question mark was actually, how many of the systems russia had, and as the stocks got depleted, because these drones and not reusable the cost calculus and the use calculus changed. and that's, i think initially we saw a lot of them. now we've seen less of them being used in the last couple of months and weeks. very interesting. thank you so much for talking us through that off a hold of michelle researcher in drone, wolfram surveillance to take
8:16 am
