a little in pull tava, victims had almost no time to take cover as to ballistic missiles arrived within minutes of being launched. for example, one of yours lensky is again pleading with western allies for air defense systems and missiles immediately as residents warn those last. i'm clear, richardson in berlin. you are watching the day a the, the, the air rates alert started, and in just a minute there were 2 explosions there, but mine last injuries crashes. and it's a combination of injuries defending systems and it sounds like needed a new credo. it would be, you know, it's in a warehouse somewhere. the people, every day of denay means on more lives law. also

on the day, mongolia refuses a chance to arrest vladimir putin on an international warrant. instead, rolling out the red carpet for the russian presidents visits that again, it's probably this is yet another example of another correct in the system based on international law, it 8 o'clock. but the question is how this affects the rest of the world order new mustang for sound? for me, it seems dangerous. hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome. one of the deadliest strikes to hit ukraine since russia's full scale invasion hits a city some 300 kilometers east of kias to ballistic missiles blasted into a ukrainian military college building and a hospital in pull tava, chewing dozens and injury. hundreds more. new cranes president will let him years a lensky has vowed to hold russia responsible. and countries, including the united states in germany,

have condemned the attack. a number of buildings were destroyed, with many people trapped under the russell. after the strikes presidents of landscape repeated his plea to western allies, to lift restrictions on military support for you quite. we know that this friday there will be that meeting and that i am shying again of, of the nato partners and the rep and the a union on the, on how to support ukraine. i'm probably this will be a topic again. let's see, as the western countries are ready to deliver more petri systems to ukraine of an attack in full java happened at the same time that ukraine is conducting an offensive in the russian region. of course, last month ukraine began carving out a section of territory which the landscape says they will not give up. he says, as part of a victory plan, he will submit to western allies during a visit to washington. is that of the russian city of su, just now under ukrainian control part of the territory concord starting on august 6th in

a surprise operation that it claims took more than 1200 square kilometers in the course region. just before you crane went on the offensive president followed him, is a landscape, spoke to french media about possible peace talks, touching on the topic of territorial concessions. ukraine will never give up its territories because this would be an attack on the constitution. he said, decisions on ukrainian territorial integrity cannot be made by the president, but by the ukrainian people. the landscape peace plan backed by the west, calls for russia to pull all of its troops out of your train as a pre condition for any talks. it also wants trials for war crimes and reparation payments for its part russian demands that ukraine surrender for regents that moscow says it annex and claims as russian territory and ukraine would have to officially renounce its desire to join nato of an impasse. so could you cranes

incursion be a way to change the calculus of peace? although seizing russian territory in the course region is an embarrassment to put and still it's less than 110th of one percent of russia's land mass. whereas russia controls about 20 percent of ukraine's territory, and it's still advancing in the east. in addition to the lab, it's taken, however, ukraine has also captured hundreds of young conscripts soldiers. savanski refers to russian prisoners as ukraine's exchange fund. and so lensky spoke specifically of the november p summit and ukraine's plans the triple the commerce confirmation connected to the 2nd summit. yes, because it was one of the points of the plan victory of ukraine delano, but a more oh, great. meanwhile, the kremlin has been playing down the incursion, saying it has failed to stop russia's drive to break through an eastern new crane. yet people, especially in the curse region, are going through difficult times filled with the main task that the enemies set

for themselves to stop are offensive and the don't basketball didn't achieve it ultimately with nationalist opening. and then by say, we didn't start yet. therefore, i'm sure that this provocation will fail if i need it. firstly, i think after that there will be a desire really to move to piece talk slower, not in words, but an actions and resolve these issues by peaceful means and the age of a person. nearly mysterious, to me, it's not clear if keeps gamble to take russian territory will pay off in peace talks this fall or approve of putting to take even more severe measures as he tries to win the war at it. now like to extend a warm welcome to alexander share, but a ukrainian diplomat who worked as ambassador to austria from 2014 to 2021 who joins us now from key. if it's difficult to start anywhere else other than in poll tava, i'd like to begin by asking your reaction to the russian strike there. a bo, it's unfortunate lose the really to of ukraine for the last 5 years for rustic and

shields wherever they want and strike wherever they want is whether it's a children's hospital or college or, or shopping center. and so we cannot use the provide provided by much to me, so even to strike the it's a very surreal kind of war. and we definitely need to this freedom to really strike where it's hard for us the most in the military against the military target. unfortunately, until now we don't sell this loans. plus, of course it's still going to have the taurus so me, so from germany, which was to expect just to be clear on how we were thinking about this. do you think that this latest attack by russia, do you view this as

a reaction to ukraine's incursion into the course region? you know, whether someone says something like this i just by i'm speech less because your brain has been invaded, killed to raped, tortured so they had to go straight to switzerland house years. and now in the 3rd year of this war, we finally grew up towards the russian territory until the some people on the west say, well this is the resolution for which is the pull up we, we did what we did because for 2 and a half years this absolutely insane, barbaric war was brought to our to a 3rd file we. we are responding in guns, so at least the source and rapid smoking car because we don't freight, we don't do much of. we will even give you those to the uh, the children's cost, if those books, yes, we in the territory and it'll take them

a while to the reason. so this is a, not in any way to suggest that this was a deserved or fair response. but my question would be if, if you see such deadly strikes in response, weather tactics like going into course are worth it if you're going, if it's going to come at the cost of so many ukrainian lies. it's more than the response, please to repeating this line from russian propaganda. it's not the well we have been killed rebuilt. well, the lot was through media dreams and blood for 25 years old or something we answered via territory and it's the response to some of the response to support of the uh, strategies, the keels or john, or best to help us as a versus people are like we're, we're sounds are fine, really answer the course. was it just, it's more of the response to just being logical, a very long overdue step on the record. now as you've mentioned,

zalinski again says at this moment really shows why he needs more air defense systems and missiles and fewer restrictions on the weapons that ukraine already does have. why do you think at this stage and the war he is still needing to make these please? because because the police, everything was over west of my life because we saw things certain the list of the springs to defend ourselves and to win this war. each time we have to we, we, it's with our allies for some reason. i don't know what, well, maybe i know because the, with the social security portion because because of the color just so there was something good. well, the problem you covered this, i'm fed up for that, but please do it, sir, because there is no other way buffalo brain to william last 4 of the years to lose

and your experience as a diplomat. do you think there is something the less he could do beyond pleading don't pointing to the mounting casualties in order to make this case, to western leaders. so they're in this, in the future. they've gone through the biggest country in the world. that is, who this role with the mazda of taurus, room, 2 and a half years? what can we do? we can do only defending ourselves and find maybe if you, if the western leaders have some ideas, how to, how to restore one to the how to read back, which is the, please share with us. but we, we do as much as we can, ma'am, to, i think we are doing our soldiers so military and miracles and including him, people deserve. and the reason i've not read through it for you know,

or acting like we did so i can course go list, it was a courageous. all right. sounds very much what we're just step as lensky is planning a trip to washington. sometime in the future, do you think that should now be his immediate priority as well? we'll know what to do is just for your order to be. yes. so the, um, the, the additional systems uh saying go to jo hungry i think today uh, the glitch or at least the gates understand the 6 more hours the system. so the provider to create this is amazing and we want the same domain for that. but also, finally, we cannot find this wireless one road and then behind the we have to stride the air feels we have to strike the military bases. it's cannot go like this is just as

soon so then same the drastic and rece wherever they want. and we come on the so within 550 kilometers radius from all. thank you so much for joining us today on dw news that is alexandra sherpa. a former you crated, and bassett, or to austria. we very much appreciate your time. well, ukraine and the european union have criticized mongolia for hosting russia's president vladimir putin. despite being a member of the international criminal court, mongolia did not arrest bruton on a warrant for alleged war crimes. the court itself has no power to enforce the order or red carpet. welcome for vladimir putin. in the mongolian capital, ignoring international calls to arrest the russian leader. mongolia as president of naggie horton shook, who invited bruton. instead pledge to strengthen ties with russia. as

long as those mongolia is committed to expanding and developing its cooperation with neighboring russia, within the framework of an independent open and multi pill of foreign policy, that value is piece of the democracy for more than 3 decades. mongolia has built friendly relations with other nations, including the united states in germany. but it is still heavily dependent on its neighbor. russia especially relates a numerous russia is one of them on go to is main foreign economic partners i'm going to use. i did remain in the 1st 7 months of this. yes, tre ton of has increased by over 21 percent and that will, but it's in a small group of protesters gathered to voice their opposition to the visit it as persons 1st to member country. if the international criminal court, since that issued a warrant for his arrest last year,

the court accuse is putin of being responsible for the abductions of ukrainian children. as a member of the i, c. c. mongolia is obliged to arrest pushing. but the court itself cannot enforce this mongolia, as an action has sparked international concern. that again is probably this is yet another example of another correct in the system based on international law, it 8 o'clock. but the question is how this affects the rest of the world. order new mustang for sound, for me, it seems dangerous. good. now think, well we, this is totally unacceptable. and like the way the has expressed, it's a resentment owing to the representatives of the main goal in the government. regardless of it was, even despite the mounting criticism, mongolia, landlocked between china and russia, and reliant on moscow for energy, believes it has to maintain ties with russia to survive,

and t w's surface. that's an ascii, joins me from rico, where dw is been operating since russian authorities closed down or moscow bureau. i helped set the scene for us here. why did put in go to mongolia in the 1st place . both rush it as of course, some sort of provocation. a propaganda moved and determined that the intention here could be, that could be to show that portion is not isolated in even the countries that are parties to the rooms that youth a welcoming him and what russia actually wants to show here with this move, we can maybe read the telecom channel of mid term in the video, who is the chairman of the security council of russia. he called the international court of the criminal court, then the, the rome statute, legally void and quote, allows the piece of paper. so russian propaganda is using this situation to show

that the i c, c o rulings don't matter, which as they think would also mean that which is not their work criminal. and he's not really actually responsible for the unlawful deportation of children from occupied ukrainian territories. but won't go away, is a member of the international criminal court from their perspective. why do you think they did not arrest him? yeah, 1st of all, we know from, from the president of south africa that they trimmed and threatened this country with the declaration of war. if south south africa were to and to arrest the button . and this is a, i guess, the least the that's my main goal. it and my goal in needs now and uh, what's also worth mentioning is the prime minister of mongolia, south western sanctions against russia and the negative impact on his country and the, the damage. sure ranges from complications in paying the russian companies to the

loss of revenues of the, from their lives that used to fly over the country and talking about what my goal esick would get out of this meeting. so before, before his visit to mongolia, blood and importance gave an interview to anne, go a newspaper, and she said, a mongolia will have the right to use cheap gas from a pipeline. that's a, that's going to run from russia to china through the terry 3 old long ago earlier and previously mongolia on the wanted to play a transit role in a role in this project. but the now it seems that the country is interested in buying cheap gas from russia. thank you so much for that update. that is dw service . i turn off ski, breaking up the boys club in brussels. well, the 1st woman at to leave the you commission president or so

a fond line is pushing for gender parity. she wants an equal number of men and women in her team of commissioners, but seems to have fallen short as she begins her 2nd term. she had asked all of the use member countries to nominate both a man and a woman for her to choose from as she fills various top jobs. but since countries don't legally asked to do that, well, many of them haven't done it. i mean funder lion and now look set to have fewer women leaders in her commission in her 2nd term. then she did in her 1st above the majority necessary majority. this time it's 41. and to talk more about this, we have uh dw brussels correspondent, rosie birch are here with me in the studio for a change. get to see you at here in berlin, rosie. let's start with my 1st big question at our members. they've actually going to comply with this. what was declared, this is o and the one that is talking about in brussels, decided because so far is being present residing nope, to base requests from are sort of underlining the context here is we had blown away

to repeat elections earlier this year. and that triggers a big changing of the guard in brussels and know it's time for the european commission to start is new sites about the institution that is in the driving seat for o e u last i what comes next in terms of this is you guys are sort of underlined trying to fill those jobs and it becomes a real joyful for influence because officially, once a year, if the commissioner is in office, the no longer represent their member state. but you can fax, these 27 national governments are vying to get the most powerful jobs they've so far given a raft of reasons or somebody say excuses of why most have not put forward a women some say look, this is just uh they had, it wasn't before or they're highlighting the person they think is the most of the right from the goals that they look for. however, it's important, know if there are some others that he said here, for example, sometimes member states or even c as trying to nominate someone they want to kind of banish as a political arrival. so all sorts of things go into these decisions. you can just imagine the politics going on behind the scenes here. but how important is it

really, who actually holds these top jobs? well, the important thing is that some jobs are more powerful than others. and that's why you get this kind of condition of, of a child support here. so for example, if your trade commissioner, you are absolutely in the driving seat for brokering trade there deals for the entire year. if you're a little, if your opinion tried to diversify away from china, that means it needs to straighten your trade deals, trade commission, it would be in the driving seat for that. the person who's responsible for technology would be looking at writing the rules for how to regulate artificial intelligence in the future. that kind of rules might start in the you've, it tends to trickle tied to the rest of the world. culture that with for example, education, you has basically know low making power there, compar leaving hands with member state. so if you are in and you government, that's a job you might want to avoid if you're trying to really make sure you have inputs and bustle, scale you talking for the top job. i guess some are saying though, that you know, the top the box, the top 3 jobs they are going to be held by women already. isn't that enough?

why go all the way to make sure that there's full gender parity as wonderland trying to do yet? that's obviously an argument i've heard in some precinct rooms, pine close doors and some beautiful not saying look, we have not this time, right. more women in dumb, but some of the most high profile jobs are sort of underlined herself, but also the president of the european parliament and the person who is responsible for foreign policy in the u. a. that's a suggestion to say, look, if we have some of the influence concentrate to the top, is it so important to have 5050 here? the argument against that that we're hearing from some campaigner is, is, is really so difficult to find a woman, a highly qualified woman to put on your ticket for my respect for this, not going far enough love. apparently, apparently it has been for 100 line, at least you think she has a chance of actually making this happen with some so far, her request was very clear and it has not been answered, but it is absolutely not a done deal. this is all done behind closed doors, and you can bet that right now she's trying to move a maneuver this a bit. so for example, she could suggest to some national conference governments,

they might get a more sub jobs because more powerful if you would put a woman forward that something. but of this like happens entirely behind closed doors and then all of her college. that's the kind of like a cabinet. so these commissioners are a bit like national ministers, bagels therapy, parliament to be voted approved or not. so in some case, some way to kind of let the parliamentarians do a bit of a dirty work for her. they might try and flex the political muscles and say, no, we're not approving this person or not personally, don't think they're highly qualified enough. so it's not, it's on sale. we don't know where it's going to loans yet. in terms of who are in these top jobs, so a little bit of a good cop bad cop routine there. i'm seriously at the national level when they are choosing people for these jobs. is it, is it the same across countries, or how do they decide which man and woman, ideally, one of each as wonder line once they're going to put forward? so there is no rule book on this, and that's what makes it so interesting to see who comes from where. so for example, earth level and light is german. so in weight, germany doesn't really have

a talk at the site here, right? she is, her position is secure, sometimes it's part of a coalition deal, but caught between different parties, international government, sometimes it might be something which has been decided long ago. sometimes it's a minister who is highly qualified for a certain job. for example, if they know they would like the trade show, if they might put forward a minister who's been responsible for economy in the past, it's up to member states. sometimes it might be by a government who is going about to face re election and likely to fail there. so really there's that can also come into it in terms of who's going to be your space in brussels for the next 5 years, even though why they've said they're not officially representative members state. they become part of the european commission. that's the use executive. so as i from the fact that there's a tremendous smoke going on behind the scenes in brussels, when you look at this push for gender parity, what do you think the best shows to europe and the rest of the world? clear? i cover a lot of big political summits and what you often get in these events is

a big family photo. so all the leaders of the prime minister, chancellors and so on will stones in a light and it's striking to me every time it's mostly meant yes. and you might see a pop of, of color to move in, in the wearing the suit or address that you said. all right, so there she is tucked in there. the european commission, which is again, normally they said by the member states was a different story. not facing direct election, so going away from what we've seen before. so a commission which has fewer women in future might be seen by some as a really bad look. that being said, are some of the underlined herself is often seen as one of the most powerful women in the world because she and she will stay and post. well, thank you so much. that's rosie partridge. and that is the day. thank you so much for joining us. you can follow us on social media as dw near the

federal mismanagement, know jobs, few prospect, thomas jim z view, the protest and this time why the mind types to be match with such brutality. sonya is come in and say, just make it a mobile. maybe because this has died except me. the gave me the 7 percent next. i'm
