4:30 am
right, because all the world we makes a difference w, all the world unpack, pulse out your info is and all the input u, v w story. now on to the ukraine approaches, the 2nd that of us say of russia is full scale invasion with some alarming uncertainties. will the us be able to restock the items. and i munition supplies which drive out 4 months ago. have the big promises from the west about staying with ukraine as long as it takes time to dust. my guess this week is alexi, gunter and co. you creating an m p and delegate to the parliamentary assembly of the council of your one thing should be clear for everybody you cream and people are fighting about who we are losing people every day. and we come to wait forever and we can fight forever for a year ago,
4:31 am
going to ranko had post price was $11.00 ski and reservations about him because he still believe this presidents will lead you crying to victory. and if he. com. is there anyone who can electric insurance or welcome to come fix on hello, is this the best of you told me a year ago, you had questions and issues about some of the things president zalinski has or hadn't done, but they would wait until the war was over only they haven't wasted you haven't waited in november, you talked about him having autocratic tendencies. why? because isn't the fact? it has autocratic tendencies, and unfortunately, i think it's the time to speak about this to stop it to prevent the best scenario on developing these tendencies. so we need to say truth and we need to to keep her
4:32 am
and to secure democracy in ukraine. i want to get into what you think those tendencies, uh, but to this is a man who is fighting on many fronts with responsibilities. most of us can hardly find them, couldn't you have given them a little more leeway at least until the country is safe? oh, we gave him a lot of time and possibilities. we supported, you mean everything. but we can support human autocratic tendencies. it's not something, it's not about politics, it's very simple. smaller talk receive will motor. we know over be good to question the strength of ukraine is being democracy and to when we need to secure these, that's all and we will secure this. this is the, the role we should, we need to do. this has an unexcused print, assess of petro publisher and co is telling everyone to leave him alone and to somebody to politicians on the video to stick together, stop the personal attacks. they only create the divisions for ukraine. the 1st lose a is ukraine. he said, because we give additional fuel to the skeptics of ukraine. he has
4:33 am
a point doesn't day. absolutely. and tentative still looked at the same, but the same amount and present version. if you will, listen to what she's saying and we all, we all see, it's not just me rather from a present version call key. if my peach call anybody else, it's so it's something we just clear that so yes, marshall all the time. it's not the best time for democracy to flourish. but it's, it's also shouldn't be justification just for autocratic tendencies, and we need to speak about days. we need to, to make all them into open, transparent, and really workable. we need to, to fight against corruption. biggers corruption is something which hurts us from, from, from the heart. and we sure makes our victory very difficult to, to achieve. so that, that is all about transparency, democracy, and that's why we need to fight for it for verified to against corruption. a lot of
4:34 am
people have been dismissed for corruption. the newspapers are writing a lot about corruption investigations. um that's going on and that's exactly, that's exactly what you're telling you. if you will watch at all these cases, it wasn't to law enforcement bodies budget worse joined the list of position politicians who are raising the issues. and yes, because ukraine is democracy, we have a nonsense. and because ukraine is democracy, we continue to do this. but always it is raised by a journalist by your investigators. and it is not enough for efforts from law enforcement bodies themselves. that's why democracy matters because these, these checks and balances frontier is there's no shortage of people, as you probably know, both in europe and america who don't believe they should be spending as much money as they have on supporting ukraine. um, they're just looking for reasons to stop another. another also crafted in power in
4:35 am
the east european states. it doesn't, it doesn't inspire respect for ukraine or for the landscape at a time when he needs it. surely. yeah, that's why we need to fix the situation. now. not to let it to go to some bad scenario. let's because we come, if you grain, we are not to to, of course it today. and it's clear. but if we were to become a child crossing it, which would be impossible to hide, everybody will see it and that will code the country. so that's why we need to secure a democracy when it is to present and it is to present a new grain. and we need to act now, not waiting something about. so what's your biggest gripe as far as mrs. that landscape is concerned, too much government control of the media, the tumors, government control over media or to merge government control over parliament. so the local authorities and in general,
4:36 am
like what do i think this is an ask you should do is to create the government of national unity. there's the he was often compared to churchill, but you have to remember what church will do the main 1940. so he invited to mister, actually the leader of opposition to become his deputy. he created the government destination or unit 2, if you will, which of these rail the 1st and there are very, very tasks political tensions in israel between forces by today created a government of national unity. and i think something we should crane should do is degrade. government of national unity. we couldn't drawn the country just by mister zalinski and mister, your mark. um, how mostly happens today. i use what you say, you want a government of national unity given the existential threat that ukraine is facing . what actual difference do you think that would make that would make a big difference because bedroom, the possibility to everybody, to show their best,
4:37 am
to everybody, to, to fight for the country. and that's something we're like in today. we so clearly have problems with management in many are in many directions. that's why we need to strengthen the team. are we sure around the country to do these? we need a government of national unity. also, these will be a very good sign, both for ukrainians and for our partners to broad and friends abroad that we are united. but the only man who can do these is presidents, the landscape. and i hope he will do this. do you no longer trust the landscape to lead you crying to victory? because that's then it will. but mouth is right now, isn't it? no, he will need you grant, or maybe he will need new grant to be true because have elections. and you just, physically, it's impossible to have elections in the circumstances, rearrange, you know, but i'm asking if he's the right mind for the job still as far as you are concerned . and i was concerned about you see right,
4:38 am
men do for the job from the very beginning of us and you still on the job and you're still, i'm still are but we don't have any other options. he will the president of ukraine to the end of these board. so i hope that he will be effective president because from this defense, my personal existence and existence of my children and my friends and my teaching and records future thing. so i will do everything i can to help him, but at the same time i should do everything i can to stop for developing the best scenarios. you renee see them that you've already said he shouldn't be president once the war is over. you've made that clear? yes. yeah, absolutely. you said yes and the think anyone else could be doing a better job right now. that is a question. i think there are people who can do better job, but again he will be the present to land of the water. but off to the end of the work, there will be elections and a dog to the presidents. dimansky will win these elections if you will take part in them. you have the emissions to run for the presidency yourself. know,
4:39 am
so the case about these 8, sorry. i haven't dition to be alive. yeah. and healthy at the end of these war, that is the main task uh for me, by end to do everything they come to bedtime after we will do with the everything else. you talk about the autocratic tendencies of presidents, the landscape, but that's not ukraine's biggest problem. at the moment the real body blow has been the failure to procure the kinds and quantities of weapons and that munitions that you need to push the russians back out of your territory. do you blame him for not getting those security? no, no, i don't blame human beings. it's clear that he tries to do everything he can to. it should to receive free grain everything we need. but i blame on i think that we need to change the strategy strategy of one man show doesn't work anymore. and the problems that we have in the united states. yes, definitely. we became
4:40 am
a hostage, an internal political struggle in the united states. but also we need to change our strategy. we need to address to wider audience. we need to work your auto mean washington by taking the level of states on the level of universities, some of the level of professional of trade unions and so on and so on and so on. this is a big job for which should be done for a long time with that. where is the one man show strategy and 2004? can you more prisons, an excuse doing everything that you can, but we need to change the strategy in order to achieve results. are you losing trust in the west? there's a, a big difference in the promises that were made at the beginning of the conflict on the statements that are being made. now, are you losing trust in the west that we don't have any other options if we will lose drugs at the time? so the and are you losing hold? no, i am very much concerned and very much frustrated about what's happening in the united
4:41 am
states. and the fact that the new package of support is not coming and what the prime minister oregon is doing in hungary and, and so on and so on. but we have no other options. we will win with these allies. and i hope they will all understand the fact that i will tell you now russia is more dangerous today, then it was 2 years ago, russian economies, hon footage um, bushing doesn't care any more about any international sanctions or obligations. and they will not get back to a peaceful life. so they would have any success in ukraine. the question will be only one, not, wow, not we'll attack name or not they will attack when she will do. where will it? because x don, will it be georgette? will it do baltic states? i don't know, but they will definitely attack and that's something we should be clear for everybody. so the most rational thing to do for the last piece to stop pointing in
4:42 am
ukraine today and ukrainian coverage of ukranian army gives these opportunity as the months have gone by. you've had to watch the original american promise will be with you as long as it takes that small student to will be with you as long as we time. there's a wealth of differences in that between those 2 utterances do you feel betrayed at all? so i don't feel betray time, but i am too frustrated because it's so clear that the support of ukraine is the best possible strategy for the rest today. and it's clear to everybody and the idea is beginning through. but i, we see what we have. what do we have? the police, the political struggle in the united states stopped uh, delivering new weaponry and support to our country. we do hope that due to will be fixed. we are waiting for the results. but with every day we understand that it is, it becomes harder and harder. and now that's the question also to your will your
4:43 am
uptake elite even tonight it states these year will not because of that little sound thing which we will need your told you as america told you ukraine belongs and nato belongs in the you. but these were invitations that didn't have a data attached to them. so in the end, what was the value? the value is important. we are moving into new york in integration. we made the next step last year we're open to the negotiations on accession of ukraine to european union. but yes, a want everything to to be quicker. and so one thing shouldn't be clear for everybody. ukrainian people are fighting, but we'll, we are losing people every day. and we come to wait forever and we can't fight forever. so we need to move and move fast, you know, the, to really stop the russian to really. and if you really isn't going to try and go should the west have promised less and prepared you better for the prospect,
4:44 am
but you might eventually not, but they might eventually not be able to go all the way with you. i think that would be the great mistake and. ready restroom or do business jake with all the hesitations with all the problems. but the rest showed is best walters in the moments of need. but the cash they wrote 2 checks. you called cash. yeah, but we hope that will change and i think that will change. and i still believe in the absolute mind for all, for the rest, because it's in the best interest. it's not about emotions anymore. last year, like in 2022, so bought a few grain. it was about emotions. seen how rationally security and children women are raping and all these was awful. but today to support ukraine is the most magical way the most for the magical theme we sure west can do that something we did, which we need to address and redid something which we need to explain. and i believe
4:45 am
that we will do it in december of 41 percent of americans said the us was giving too much support. 64 percent said neither side is winning the war, but polling data doesn't exactly help you, does it definitely. and that is a very disturbing pulling data, but there are a bunch of things when, so like, if you take me georgia saying that your united states should support you. great. uh and i think that what we see now in falls is it is a popular result. of the companion which already using place and there, and i did states and some statements, for example of president trump. and now we see some results of this impulse. but if we will go deeper, i think americans clearly understand the trasha when we're together with china, the biggest threats to them. and to day ukraine is stopping this rep. and the only thing they should do is to help us not losing any american life is super pragmatic
4:46 am
. it's super ride and just strategic decision. and i think they will realize it. and i hope that the american establishment will also stick to these. after all, the political functions will be over the shifts of mood, her being substantial, but they have been also above your own public. and that's the landscape po ratings down 22 percent to 64 percent in the year from december 22 to $23.00. so trusting the government also down and as far as you can set, the trust in parliament is really way down. you and your colleagues don't seem to have in spite the public, your rating is down from 58 percent to 21 percent between the spring of 22 and the autumn of 23. does that worry you? yeah. at the drawers. mean, that's why i'm trying to convince my colleagues and that you need to open the problem and how it was always to the new grand department disclose. gymnast amount
4:47 am
allowed, there is no life translations and things like this. and we need to change this, and that is only for more things, but there are also things in the corner. we should, we should change. people are exhausted in ukraine. people are tired. but if you will take a look at the same pulse, you will see that people still are ready to fight. and that's very easy. why? because people, they're not fighting menu. the grand people are not fighting for the landscape or for parliament or for any political leader. people are fighting for themselves because they clearly understand what try the trash i will commit to genocide again against ukrainians. like they are doing now and built by a territory like they did 100 to years ago. so we don't have any other options. and then we mobilization is a big issue for you in parliament. i'm the country a bill that would have sent up to half a 1000000 more soldiers in tobacco was put before parliament before christmas and
4:48 am
then withdrawn. i made a huge controversy. why the controversy you can needs more troops? doesn't that? that simple. yeah, it's that simple. we need and i think that these, the draft will come back, but the problem simply is dropped for me, the most important days to set the time of service this to day. there is no time of service for ukrainian military and the people confide forever. and we need to change those people who are fighting for already almost 2 years. and for these we need also to take other people. are this the question? when a year president saying, we need 402500000 people, i really don't understand is what, why? because it's not about people. if we don't have enough ammunition, if we don't have drones and other things, there is no sense to take more people. because of. busy we're not in medieval times when the adjuster number mattress and also we can fight with russia in numbers because russia is much bigger than us. so we need to fight another war where our
4:49 am
soldier and officer, a super well equipped weapons. and we have very good strategy which thinks about the wrong, the wrong course being we can we, we are supported by our lice, with rapid re. yes, we want to more, but we are supported, but nobody is going to support us with both on the ground. so we need to, to, to keep our people a life. we need to secure our army as much as possible during the war because this is our crucial. ready resource men, power, the average age of your soldiers is 43. mr. gunter, then co doesn't don't. you will need younger troops and the minimum age fall, inscription is $27.00. doesn't that need to change the father with his drive to ease and die? by the way, i said bruce sponsored them, tentative, dropped off my position to the problem and, and uh you use about a decrease in the age of renovation from 27 to 25 minutes. something which i think
4:50 am
will happen. and definitely, again, we need to mobilize people, but at the same time we need to demo belies people to because people kind of 5 forever. and we need to have a clear strategy and our strategy for the next i should be strategic defense. that's what we were telling for quite a long time. unfortunately, we were not heard, but now it's happened already, because we just comp, without air superiority a tech russian russians been changed and d, e a. and to remind fields that something which is impossible for us just from one point of view. we have 13000000 people in the country today. russia has 150 just a few days ago just to your point about about a strategic defense, one of your soldiers in the recognizance unit on the east bank of the, the pro river and the so called the situation deplorable. asked if you can,
4:51 am
could hold its position that he replied, of course not for the fact is that the marine corps was unable to maintain the pace of the offensive. i'm sure it lost the initiative a long time ago. how many stories like that are you hearing many stories like that i hear, but you need to remember that is about being tired. been exhausted. yeah. our mean of those people who are fighting for 2 years, many of them really shouldn't be changed. and that is the fact and we need to do this. so we don't have any other option. it's a shortage of weapons and they continues to have a plan b. yeah, with whom hollow palm beach used to fight the we will fight and i don't think that the dish or the weapon would be stopped completely. our plan be strategic defense. we need to we need to build the frontier vacations. we need to dig in. we need to
4:52 am
create my fields. we need to create line, which will exhaust trashes you for they will try. like now they are trying to attack. that's what we should do. that is our plan for the nearest mom's view of one west and official working on ukrainian policy. he told the newspaper last week, it's probably fair to say that the ukrainian system is entirely dependent on the continued military assistance from the west. has that thought sunk in yet in ukraine? that is true, and that is something which disturbs me seriously that ukraine. yeah, definitely. we come to be self sufficient from military point of view, but we can do much better than we are doing today. yes, we are completely dependent today from a weapon resupply from our lives. that's true. do you ever look ahead and imagine what it might be like to lose this war? i think it's impossible because the 1st war uh for independence of ukraine. i think
4:53 am
we already won it, and that was the war when russia dr. kia and tried to wipe out ukraine from the map of the world. that would never happen. and that is already clear. now we have another war for our territorial integrity. and these war can last very long with the stops, and i come tell you when it will be finished. but the, to the a misfortune to wipe out ukraine from the map of the well world is on the chief of the any more. that's why i think that the main war is already won by ukraine. but yes, there are huge challenges ahead. were coming up to the 2nd anniversary of most goes full scale invasion. can you see any more clearly how this war might end? the best ways the ukraine is come in, we are restoring our territorial integrity now on the to the borders of 1991. the
4:54 am
not in of the scenario, use the parts of your territory. so if you agree uh will be occupied for some time . oh, i don't know, is that acceptable to you? when that is painful for me, but i mean if it will happen this way, it could happen this way. but i am sure that sooner or later these rushing and fire will fall, and we will restore our integrity completely. i just want to remind you that so if you're junior and occupied, baltic states for more than 40 years. and the about the world was not accepting this and sooner or later, oh, so the tune co ops from baltic states became to again independent. so that is the same story. we will restore our church, our old integrity, i'm absolutely sure and base about how quickly it will be. i don't know what of you know, and in terms of lessons over the last couple of years about your country yourself, about big promises. but that's the 1st thing that you grand exist. it's not kind of
4:55 am
for joe kyle, put in thought that you grain is a failed state that ukraine is not a real estate that ukrainians as a group the does not exist. that's not true. we are strong, encourages nation, and a strong country which will survive these war after these are, will be stronger than where before, also one more thing, which on the left hand side to the main thing is a hot power. we need to be strong enough to defend our values. ukraine gave up its nuclear weaponry 29 years ago. so 2 years ago, almost that was a huge mistake from us. we wear and leaving the illusion. a world where all the countries that keeping their promises. unfortunately, it is not so the last of these, if you want to exist, you need to be strong. and this is the less than not just for ukraine, but for the whole free world. alexa, gunter, and goods be good to have you on complex. so thank you very much,
4:56 am
it was very nice to be. thank you. the on
4:57 am
the child you really want to die. equally important. how do not want to die? there aren't enough people in germany asking themselves these questions before it's too late. modern medicine still interprets patient welfare, of preserving life at all costs, but other perspectives are gaining traction. in 15 minutes on the w, rushes, war of aggression on ukraine has raged for 2 years. 2 years of people being
4:58 am
separated from that families and has some defend the country on the funds while others are trying to start over in a foreign country living either in constant danger and sickness. and then so essentially focus on here in 90 minutes, dw, the wish i could've done more to save. you just click away, find the best document on you to really he's as well as he's never seen before. the drive now
4:59 am
to dw, talking to people in trucks in judge west trying to see the city center and the straight screen, the around the world. more than 130000000 people us we of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind. dw, may feel mine's of the
5:00 am
this is dw, use live from berlin, germany's top diplomatic warrants, that's guys. that is on the brink of collapse and urges is relative delay. it's expensive on the city of ruffled despite violating international pressure. then you mean it's an yahoo 5 to press ahead with israel defense. also coming up, one person is dead and up to 10 others when just following a shooting during celebrations of the kansas city chiefs super bowl victory. and ukraine says it has sunk another russian worship. the vessel was apparently destroyed near the occupied crimean peninsula.
