the universe, kind of like a superpower. our series 40 to answer almost every thing. this week on dw, the, this is d, they'll be a new slice from berlin, ukraine's president says he has no plans to attack russian territory just to felicia when it comes to invasions. when i go somewhere, i go there officially as president of ukraine and not as an invader. savanski is

involved in or was in berlin. i had told the much anticipated ukraine in town to offense. it's a german johnson that's led just to port you've cried for as long as it takes also coming off, ty bosis await results in a crucial general election. the poles close and we both counting gets on the way and tyler's pro democracy. all physician policies are shipped to the fee to the minutes, feedback, the government of incumbent crime, and as the pro youtube channel shots and will vote isn't tacky, choose a new direction with opposition. candidates came out. candidates, donald, or extend to president ad wants more than 2 decades in power. the monica jones. good to have you with us, ukraine and president of a let him use the landscape is on his 1st visit to germany since the russian invade . and he has been holding talks with john,

so that will not sholtes and berlin. the 2 liters appeared afterwards at the news conference with shields say to visit, sent a strong signal to him, and he would support ukraine for as long as necessary. savanski expressed his gratitude for driven backings to just hours before he arrived to germany, announced a new package of military aid with more than 2700000000 euros. who i should be put into johnson, what, what i shall, it's tote presidency. lensky, the to germany, support for ukraine is unwavering. he has the chancellor in his own words, to chat this off because i've said many times and have repeated here today is that we will support you as long as needed. i'm not enjoying the joint press conference . the ukrainian president was also asked about his spring offensive plan. so lensky denied recent accusations that he was considering attacking russia just to felicia, when it comes to invasions. do you know when i go somewhere? great. i go there officially agree as president of ukraine's i need

a not as an invader. yes. let's get more now with the data we used to political corresponding, you know, how the, who was joining us from our side to the german chancellor. and, you know, of course you were after that press conference which you may take away. well, of course base is the very 1st time that the training presidency. lensky came to germany off to the full scale invasion started in february last year. so this is a visit that had been highly anticipated. did happen kept top secret until the very last minute. and you could almost feel they saw your relief from german government officials when they were able to present their lensky to the valid audience here. so this is very important for germany. it to host the landscape here because of close to happened, frictions in the past, as there was criticism coming out. if you've trained that germany had been to

reluctant, that it wasn't fast enough when it came to showing support. and actually putting the money where the mouse was in terms of sending weapons to ukraine so that you can, can defend itself. and this was the strongest message that came most of the press conference. there were 2 leaders that who have respect for each of that will have short spoken for loud music. lensky as a true friend is not something that we hear the gym, chancellor say a lot, and also visited zalinski, expressed understanding for some of jimmy. these reluctance and yet still of course, ask them need to do more. for example, when it comes to helping coordinate this new fight to jet coalition dot zelinski says he needs in order to push out russian troops from his own territory. so a very clear signal that both leaders and both countries have decided to open a new chapter in that bilateral relations. and, you know, you mentioned to germany, so reluctance previously a now to a minute announced almost

a 3000000000 euros with of weapons to ukraine. what uh, what brought this change of heart about well, you have to be fair and say it's not exactly a change of heart. it is the biggest miller tree package yet. yes, bots, over old gemini, is the number to country. well, like when it comes to supporting ukraine just off to the us presidency landscape also stressed that in the press conference, he said he wants to watch to what the situation with germany becomes the most important support of you trade and becomes number one jokingly. but the military aid package that was announced yesterday is of course, i'm not sending a new weapons, but it includes high, modern weapons. like for example, the, the ad defense systems gemini, is delivering more. i munition, all of these are things such as the landscape desperately needs right now. and the

timing of placing announcement that germany is sending more military aid to ukraine was of cause no 2 incidents on to, i mean, we know that the government is supporting ukraine. what about the german public? that was also the question that was raised during the press conference was, is dealing with a german audience that is somewhat split not of when it comes to the questions, do we support to train? but when it comes to the questions, to should we really send weapons to ukraine, that is not something that every german will on. so with a clear yes and it will actually is very aware of that. he has to convince a lot of people, he has to have constant debates, also with members of parliament to have a big say in these messages. now, there are quite a few voices here in the general public opinion who say we need peace negotiations right now. and all of so it is on so today again was we can only stop peace negotiations once you train is ready. you train say they are not ready because

russia keeps on being the cities and killing that people. and he had a clear message which was the criminal and then said the answer is a must go. most car needs to stop. most car needs to it's going to troops only then can we start searching by piece negotiations? well, thank you so much. deed of used to a cheaper to correspondent nina has a very thank you, a hold of you from my ts, i asked dw correspondence, nick connelly how your brain ends responding to the one. welcome savanski received here in berlin. certainly zalinski gets a welcome. everywhere he goes these days, but this visit to building is special. given those tensions mentioned that by needing especially last year over the visits to where the plans visit to camp by jimmy's punch timeline. where that invite was rescinded, sending a last minute by the queen size, lots of unhappiness from berlin, about that. lots of criticism from kiff in the months that followed about germany's

reluctance to hurry up, especially with sending weapons that really has changed in the last couple of months. there's a real sense here in key. if that jimmy now gets quite how serious he brings leads on, he's waiting speed things up and get out of the kind of normal bureaucratic mindset and timescales. the arrival of those german left, the 2 tanks, the irish t and t across the mt ad drone and miss all systems have really made a difference. and especially now this announcement that another almost 3000000000 years worth weapons are on their way that has really sweet and kind of the appeal as it were. i'm really made this a visit that seems like it actually will deliver something for you. great and split the defend itself. and then of course, at a time where we're hearing ukraine is already making gains in the in battle city. oh, what can you tell us more about that? well certainly of the months where it was always a question of a few 100 meters that a few 100 meters in a different place. and it's really almost hand to hand and roof at the news. and

recent days that ukraine has pushed russian forces back by some 2 kilometers, one point and pushed russian positions back in the south west and approaches to bottom with that really is the big deal by the standards of this extraordinary battle there. i think the big picture, i think it's unlikely to be the start of the long wait. did you find the account defensive? i think this is more of a situation where you cranes taking advantage of russians, weakness. we've handled those open, each kind of vintage conflicts between the russian regular army and continue per goes. and then the wagner most and we go to the sense in ukraine's is taking advantage of that wallet can and hoping to make its positions better, their investment. but i don't think it would be a logical for ukraine to try and, and thoughts around that. this is an area of the country which seems a lot of fighting since 2014, where the russians have very good defenses. and i think it's very, i'd like you to see something bigger then. yeah. and russia isn't uh, signing by idly. it continues to have to talk. it's across the country. also

overnight, including the town ukraine to release some song contest. participants came from that song contest. obviously happening last night and that attack minutes before the performance. what more do you know? well, certainly there were some pretty impressive images kind of showcases of a fire in that's internal to in industrial units that was caused by that christmas . all sec. not just to the other cities in the fall west of ukraine, very much within range of rushes, cruise missiles, in spite of the fact that ukraine's elephants have got a lot better and will the drones that will launch the key of, for instance, last night will shut down there was no damage here, but i think it's just a reminder for people in this country that those area warnings all very real. this is not a fair reticle threat anymore and that they can be hit at any time. not the building is the next kind of the thank you for us, so thank you so much and here's a look now at some of the all the stories making use around the world. the talk is
