a ready right now, t d w documentary ah ah, you're wanting d w. news live from lane nato, head against dalton. burke says ukraine will join the alliance after it went to war against russia. first, ukraine, thoughtful price. there's no meaning in discussing membership. i mean, i'm just going international pressure for an end to the violence in sudan for

fighting appears to be continuing in the capital and elsewhere. countries military rule that says the army will do all it can to prevail and remain committed to a transition to civilian ah, until gale, welcome to the program. nato secretary general against dalton back says the alliance. these members all agree that ukraine will become a member. he added that nato's 1st policy is to support ukraine's war efforts. the statement came ahead of a meeting of the ukraine defense contact group at american ramstein air base. here in germany, i sent to you yesterday on the you crane. so future is in your account. the family and all may dollars have agreed that, that ukraine well become a member. yes, but the main focus now is of course sir on,

on how to ensure that ukraine prevails. let's get more from the correspondent jack barrack in brussels. welcome jack. so all nato members agreeing that ukraine will join the alliance. is that a new position? it's certainly a new expression fell. it's quite a big statement from the nato sex to general. it is clear that the needs overwhelmingly. the nato allies have sort of agreed that ukraine will be a member, and indeed ukraine apply to be a member that it hasn't been formally invited to do. so what you're installing berg is doing is suggesting that all countries on our on board, i'd hesitate to say that that is exactly the case, though we know that each of the $31.00 nato allies, in order for ukraine to be, to become a member, there would have to be a formal invitation and then all of those countries, the government and the parliament would have to ratify that man the ship. so we're

a long way off. i think what he's expressing is that he's heard from the leadership of all 31 countries, that sort of in principle, they are in favor of this move. but it's important say an agreement in that form is not signing on the dotted line. and 1st, this war has to finish. yeah, exactly. no nato can't. no country can become a nato member statement, which means that if a nato countries attacks, they can ask all of the other nato countries to come to their defense militarily. so clearly, if a country is in the middle of a hot conflict and joins nato, there's an immediate that they will presumably immediately request all the other countries to come in and join them in their war effort. and that's just not going to happen. the question is, how far would this have to go however, how, how much of a sort of piece agreement would have to be formulated between ukraine and russia after this? how long would the other nato allies want that to take? it could take many, many years. we've heard in, in ukraine, they want

a very speedy session process. we've just seen suite finland become a nato member in record time. i don't think that that is the case. they want an accelerated process, but i don't think among nato allies, the sort of acceleration that keep ones is going to take place in this case. ok, so we get that the general impression than that nato members are united in their backing of ukraine. but how, how solid is that backing? it's pretty solid. i think overall, there are, you know, many members that have sent a lot of military and financial aid, especially european countries, especially the united kingdom in the united states have been fundamental in helping ukraine with that war. effort by selling military hardware, ukraine still once more, we've had repeated calls of that even over the last few days. but whether they would be willing to have ukraine as a nato ally with that big border with russia just off the back of a hot conflict. that's another thing, it's important to say as well when we look at ukranian accession into the nato

military alliance. for instance, finland and sweden applied at the same time and got invited to become members at the same time fin and joined a couple months ago. but sweden is still being blocked by turkey. turkey accuses them of harboring kurdish fighters, which turkey sees as terrorists. and so there's a long process. there's also a turkish election next month. there's a u. s. election next year in the change of, of the president in the white house can create a huge shift in the political thinking of the nato military alliance as well. so there's a long way to go before all countries are on board before that formal invitation is in place. and before ukraine would ever become a nato ally, i think thank you for that. i did a because one at jack park in brussels, of course that ukraine has long made clear its ambition to join nato, and he has a correspondent mathias bowinger in cave. ukraine has said, ukraine's government has said that they wanted to join nato. ukraine is also saying

that the war should not be an obstacle to this membership process, and that this should be started. now. stoughton buck has not said anything, as we've just heard on that. and he has not or announced any specific measures. and it certainly welcome as a gesture, but if you look at it, it will not change the situation here for the key of government on the ground right now. as mathias or bullying in kiff speaking a little earlier. so what is the likely russian view on this statement from the nato secretary general? you re, rosetta as a form of moscow bureau chief is now operating from riga. as d, w is banned from reporting in russia. a welcome yury. and what is the kremlin saying about this statement from danced oldenburg, while the spokesman for the russian president, dmitri pierce cough said, just as natal threatens russia securities, it was expected for him. also yesterday,

he commented on sultan burke's visit to your grand and to once again clearly expressed what was probably also expected of him, at least in russia itself. not allowing ukraine into nato is one of the main goals of the so called special military duration. as the grandma calls of this war, i also heard from the ex president, mid veda, if last night that if western countries would sent military jets to ukraine and if those jets in the future are served. for example, in poland, this would be a direct entry of natal into the boy gave russia and, and when you were, anyone who would make such decisions would be seen as a legitimate to military target mitigate. he said so we, he an extremely harsh on to beth and rhetoric that was being said, how do you think russia would react for if you train did a joint nato at some point while the greenland would regard it days worth of salt lake as a new level of escalation, another, another red line which moscow has been talking about for

a year already. and with beach, at least until recently, has made the west actor cautiously and military supporter grain i put in, was already talking about the red lines before the war or the russian foreign minister sent proposals to the guest with security guarantees for russia. and there was, among other things of the clear demand and not to admit you credit, anita. and so what it could put in count anal various scenarios are possible from ignoring, but i don't think so too. a rhetorically rhetorically hitting back to the at least to ridicule the use of nuclear weapons with which are russia threats. as the world, at least the russian public has been prepared for these scenario for months or by. the propaganda shows on television as it is often told of a possible nuclear war in which the west is blamed. for. you've heard yuri rochester reporting from riga

we installed and bugs remarks about ukraine. joining nato were delivered ahead of a gathering of military leaders at the u. s. is ramstein airbase here in germany, the ukraine defense contact group will discuss ways to support ukraine against russia's invasion. ukraine has been demanding fighter jets for months and some soviet era. mig 29th are now arriving from poland. and slovakia. this is a slow vacuum. mig 29. the model that was once the pride of the soviet union's air force on its way to ukraine. last month, the mig $29.00 came into service in 1983 at the time arrival to us built f sixteens, a product of the race to rule the skies during the cold war. ukrainian pilots are already trained to fly the plains. so in theory, they're ready to go on paper. the mig 29 looks impressive. it can max out at 2400 kilometers per hour. it's ranges over 2000 kilometers and it

can fly up to 18 kilometers altitude. ukrainian president followed me as a lansky says he's thankful but that ukraine needs much more bullshit. i'm grateful to poland and i'm grateful to slovakia for their decisions on megs for ukraine. this will significantly strengthen the defense of our sky, but we need modern aircraft. understand exactly what we've been saying. is there a rational motivation for the delay in providing modern aircraft? just if you think the word modern is the key here. russia has been using a range of attack aircraft and ukraine, some developed decades after the big 29 to top that off, many of the polish and slovak planes headed to ukraine now are in bad condition. they may end up being used to provide parts to repair. ukraine's existing air force

heave has previously called for a fighter jet coalition for ukraine, which would use newer planes made by different nato countries that may still come. but for now, the meg 20 nines will have to do that to sudan and the world health organization should forcing that 413 people have been killed. and more than the 3 and a half 1000 injured in sudan, a since violence broke out 6 days ago as no sign of an end to the conflict despite repeated un kohl's for a cease fire. the regular armies fighting a paramilitary group call the r s f. a military government says it's committed to a promise transition to military rule, but will only accept the r f. f. surrender or more gun fi in khartoum as fighting goes on despite hopes for
