to 72 our ceasefire. this latest truth is already crumbling. i as journalist, mad now shed whether that cease fire was respected at least over night. thank you for calling me 1st stuff again. no, the fire unfortunately does not seem to respect it. there was reports throughout the night. there was a bit of a load fighting. however, now reports of picked up again, you know, fighting has picked up and i think it just, it just those back to the original sense of trusting these leaders with their words before their actions. unfortunately, and now we know we're seeing both forces committing to further promises without actually, you know, making good on their original lines. so unfortunately, no, these fire in the sense that we would like to see and it has not occurred to dan.
12:05 pm
yes. and of course, we know that throughout this week of fighting now the civilians are the ones who are suffering. the humanitarian situation was quite dire. what our citizens most urgent needs everything. i mean, i think, you know how to start. you know, i think there is, obviously people are making, you know, incredibly difficult decisions of whether not stay in their homes or just li, referring to the capital here. because obviously the basic necessities, like water, petrol, you know, electricity, foods, none of these things are available and the supplies or quantities that it should be available in. and at the same time, there's a lot of showing. so, so, you know, obviously those research is very important, but then equally important in order to get those resources,
12:06 pm
they need safe spaces and spaces to be. so trying to get evacuated to safe areas and just to be in areas that are at least somewhat distance from fighting and relatively safer than where the fighting taking place. and then thirdly, i would say medical supplies, listen, a lot of hospitals have been damaged. you know, there's a number of informal activist networks that have taken it upon themselves to re open hosted those that were closed from beforehand by trying to rush fuel, bringing doctors, getting some form of electricity and powering up machines all in a bit to try to save and rescue lives. and these, these, these measures are taking place. it's dire measures of people that have no other choice, but didn't take it upon themselves to help people precisely because of just such a storage of medical person now in the medical clinics in hospitals to assist people. that was journalist mag national reporting from cairo on the situation and
12:07 pm
sudan math. thank you so much. ukraine's western allies have been meeting at an air base here in germany. the most senior u. s. defense officials repeated pledges to stand with ukraine and fight against russia for as long as it takes. and they promised that american tanks do for delivery later this year will make a difference on the battlefield. a show of solidarity for ukraine from its west allies as the war continues to age for us. defense secretary lloyd austin, plays to groups efforts sofa for announcing washington's latest contribution. we've also expedited r m one abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armored capability and becoming much in the mindset the ukrainians will use for training. all right, here in germany in the next few weeks and all of this is huge progress
12:08 pm
for that pot. germany and poland announced the creation of a tank maintenance hub. it's location just over the polish ukrainian border would enable tanks to return to the frontline more quickly act of a pair that is monthly. i will see every piece of equipment that is supplied in this war where the tank, so combat support tanks and other equipment such as how it says or patriot systems is subject to wear and tear. especially when they are in continuous use in combat. or do more so i am very pleased that together with my polish and ukranian colleagues, i was able to sign a memorandum of understanding where we'll set up a joint maintenance hub in poland for the entire leopard to fleet for to get them to leo, lifelong ministers and nato secretary general un stockton berg reiterated support for ukraine's future nato membership. but the focus for now, they say, is on helping ukrainian forces defend the country against continued russian aggression. i started to get the roman gunshot uncle in care of and i asked him
12:09 pm
if the message of solidarity for ukraine from the international community was enough. well, here, new grain, they say it's never enough until this war is over. and of course, ukraine has received a lot of heavy and heavy weapons since the start start of this year. and main battle tanks are of western type, an infantry fighting vehicles. but on some of that help comes late. for example of the announcement both united states to lever abrams, m one i main battle tanks. and they will be here on the battlefield em in mid summer at best, but probably m a late in august. and this of course is too late for the much expected, an offensive operation that ukraine is preparing for the coming weeks. and maybe months. i'm on the other hand, ukraine desperately needs western type fighter jets like f sixteens. and the west
12:10 pm
of the united states are not yet ready to leave, to deliver those. and you can receive some, a soviet style, a mig 29 fighter jets. but ukraine needs western western jets because it can use them to launch western type missiles. but am in general, i would say a ukraine is receiving a lot of heavy equipment and it will be used very, very soon. or something else that was announced at this meeting in ramstein was a deal to create a hub in poland to repair the german made the leverage tanks. just how significance would this be? well, it's extremely significant. and the military experts i've been talking to say that am i to have an opportunity to repair tanks and other heavy weapons is at least as important as having tanks themselves. some say say it is even more important. and so it's, it's a huge, major development for ukraine to have that opportunity. but on the other hand, ukraine was hoping and is still hoping that may be an 8 sometime later,
12:11 pm
or the west will be able to repaired thanks closer to the battlefield. ukraine is a huge country and the distance between the air maintenance hub and poland and the frontline is over 1000 kilometers. so it's a very long way. m m and it will make it very difficult for ukraine to provide those tanks after they've been repaired to bring them back to the battlefield. and, but it is, it is very important to start that process to create that hub because more tanks will be coming at tanks from different countries and germany as well. we'll be sending, not just leopard. we're a 2 tanks, the modern tanks, but also the older ones. leopard one ah, dozens of them of them and they will also need to be repaired. so it's a major development for ukraine and for ukraine, poland and germany that was dw rollin gunter, ankle in care of roman, thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it. all right,
