significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continued d. w. ukraine is facing another bits a winter as well with russia, and there's many, many without the equipment needed to win. my guess this week is kara roodick, are you crazy in opposition? m. p and lead of the goals or voice policy as western lead design ratio. but with a key of should target russia with long range missiles, she reminds them that they promise support all the way to victory. so how crucial are these weapons to ukraine survival and just talk distant victory look here rooted welcome to come fix on. thanks for making time for us. hello, jim. thank you so much for having me. 2 months ago,

president zalinski appealed to european leaders to stay united and not betray ukraine. are you being betrayed by the west? i think it would be unfair to say is that we are good rate, but also we need to be very clear that every day of their time of the delay when political promises are not becoming the weapons in the hands of all the soldiers. every day of the delay, we are paying for with the lives of public people. and you want to be very clear when we have talking to all their friends and the lice in the west that there is. and it's no time to wait. there's no time to make the decisions that are so much needed here because we didn't know who will be here tomorrow. the landscape seems now clearly to doubt the west's resolve to stay the course. do you share his doubts? you know,

i am still optimistic. i know there will be many things that will change depending on who will be sitting in the white house. and it is, of course, a very important matter and it will have an influence. there is another side is that european leaders understood that they need to strengthen europe. and i think this decision is one of the most important and will have a huge influence on how the world will go um, from now on. and we're really, really supportive of that. it's time for the leaders of the best. we come to the point that dr. shot and china and iran and north korea. they are getting ready for a big war. and we as right now, are just the frontline, we're trying to hold all the ports from the east that are coming. and this is why it is so important that you're beyond leaders and the leader in the rain bridge and it will start working on building it on the defense right now. when you tell them

this, what is their response? well, it's usually they understand, but the bureau, per se, so strong and the tie and, and the we need to be cautious to make some decisions. so again, aside to being really pessimistic on that, i can tell her that there has been a huge progress in terms of these opinions about strengthening dorothy and countries seems like 2 and a half years ago when the full scale invasion started. and right now this understanding is there in the highest given as of major uh and uh in uh, brent minister its um meetings. however, we also understand that the democracy needs to learn to move past or otherwise there is a very high that is a tiring. these will have an upper hand. it's in july. you said we're calling on our allies to switch from helping us fight this war through letting us when the war

. are you saying that with the equipment on the supplies that you've been given so far? you're simply not capable of winning this war. it's not enough. absolutely. it's not enough and it will, i will not be in use make care of. that's right. it has been that colon voice from many of the ukraine representatives that the amounts of divide bends and supplies and limitations that are being set on this weapons and supplies are limiting. alrick capabilities of fighting back. we simply do not have enough of the means to 5 back. we simply do not have enough of the air defense systems to protect. i was kind and have this luxury of going to bed in the evening, knowing that we will wake up in the morning. we simply do not have enough of the munition, and we simply do not have a decision of allowing us to use the weapons to take down the michelle and planes

when they're on the line and not where they are so close to our homes to get to them and that idea has not you had gone through. it's in progress. however, we haven't started this important decision to be a begging for, for many months right now to allow us to use the weapons that we possess right now . the coming through our western allies do use them to take down the military targets inside russia. so far the west is refusing to change its mind. us and british leaders met in washington last week. they failed to take any kind of decisions. how disappointing was that for you? i'm usually singles, how many of my friends and relatives will survive until the next meeting with the leaders? how many of our people will not get there to hear when the decision will be done? looked, you know, since the beginning of the full scale invasion, we have heard the word know so many times because carpet starting from getting us

like heavy weapons, then getting the tanks then to get in touch with miss sells dental getting side projects. uh. every time we know that's always the beginning of the conversation and we know how to work with it to the point, but it does, yes. but it's so so, so unfortunate if you're losing this time in this debate, discussions and procedures and you know what is happening during this time. not only the people here and ukraine are getting killed by the russian categories, but that's, but also russia in china and iran and north korea the everything out there production they using the time of their advantage. they are successfully overpass some distractions and they are building their military capacity. while there are still hasn't been says in the highest cabinets about. if to give you credit and ability to defend themselves better or not. your landscape says the west is simply emboldening put in by not making a decision particularly about these long range missiles. do you think western

leaders are running scared or put in? i think the western leaders are still living with the illusion. the dresser is invincible. and that every time with you makes a bluff. they are ready to believe. it's just like go back with me to all this paper that she made since the beginning of the full scale invasion. every single time she was losing his propaganda to stop the rest of the leaders of providers in your brain was additional weapons and support. and she was putting unreachable goals to from it because people like taking cube in 3 days, taking the napkin hunt region in full, taking over your premium east, etc, etc. and right now, this illusion is for link because of the russia has shown that they are unable to protect their own territory. those they are threatening because it was with this old world war. well,

let me tell you this. they are very effective. and the terrorist effects they start to be a total rising us and killing that's constantly, but what they're not to would add is actually fighting their full scale war. and this is why is that incursion into the course of the region is effect assigned to the west and leaders saying, well, put in his blocking, he's just getting you off to stop you from giving us what we need to win rationalize. nothing visible. this war is when the boat we can, we met, we have the result. we have the resources given the means. there isn't caution of your by your troops into the coast region of russia has suddenly lifted peoples more all in the west when they look at your achievements on the battlefield. what is that done for morale inside ukraine? or you can tell you it's very practical. many of my friends who live in the somebody region, bordering course the region have been costs and you're under

a tax not only vice versa, and miss $1000.00 drones, but also by the artillery because it's so close. so the incursion, a lot of our troops, at least 3 moves that's read from people's everyday life. and of course, we were elated, but also be a very concerned about and worried about the soldiers for their right now, because one can imagine wasn't unbelievably risk. the operation that is, and we just hope that they will, um, then they will be successful at some point and it's coming back. and this is was to give you a bit of bargaining position in the event that they're all going to be. peace talks or talks about peace. well, i think it's a little bit different than that. well, the 1st of all the presidents left, you was very clear that we have no training of the categories, but there were certain countries like china who provided their plan that is called these plan. and that's how do. 6 some points we say, well,

we will accept things as they are, meaning is that the conflict will be frozen and the territories will remain certain . 3rd, 3rd of all, it remains up to 5. what i've seen that incursion into course did as a move that way. this then from the table, because freezing where the i write down means it's rush also lose or something. and i don't seeing that any a leader in the world is ready to come in and try to negotiate this booking. before we leave the subject of a long range missiles, can i just get from you an assessment of how critical you think they are in terms of your survival, your independence? well, let me just repeat what happens if you don't get these long range missiles, but you have some of them already. but if you're not allowed to use the on targets in russia, we are facing a black cloud during the winter. if we are not getting that ability to take down

and freshman military targets, look during that last to years and intensifying this year. dresser has been deliberately targeting our critical energy infrastructure during the summer. that has been majority of the energy for new production destroyed. and the energy rich and other facilities and in summer and that happens days, we only have electricity of holes for a 4 to 6 hours a day. and if you're living in them, we'll just started building where the woods are elevators and electricity are holding together. it's very hard, toll free. it's all, it's very hard to operate without electricity because it's one of the basic needs to be a covered. and we have facing an incredibly hard winter investigation. but i'm not sure that our energy system will be able to sustain yet. and the mass of attacks on the, the previous winter was very hard. right now we are in the much worst situation. so

we are asking for this permissions, not because we want to know because we need to, but because it's a only chance of going through the winter with the temperatures like mine is 18. uh and, and be able to heat other holes team if you're looking at around i believe, a hardship onto for 4 people, especially the young and the elderly. on january 2nd of this year. and there was a miss that was shipped near the phone where i live and that's i'm talking to you from it was, it came from me so, and i can assure you that i live with nowhere was in the military. all just, i wasn't home and it's happened. and i have witnessed have the windows from my living room, what were pulled out of the frames and thrown into the middle of the rooms, the glasses everywhere and it, it felt like my personal or i'm again. and i remember how my, my neighbors and myself, how we were running and drawing, trying to seize people need help. and then day 5 people were killed by this attack

. and one or 200 lost their homes. and i was really lucky because i had minor injuries, but important think about that is that it was minus 18 all types. so like once your hands are still shaking from the explosion of what you do, you have to cover your windows with the plastic. otherwise, the pipes in your home will explode the because of the cold, and you will have like nothing then. so this is like what just out one incident of the work that is happening, but it's happening every single day. and what we are facing is being alone with the cold in the winter without any ability of the quick fix. because another issue that we are looking at right now is, even if the war is over today, we cannot fix our energy grid energy system. so quickly. it's just impossible to kind of build a nuclear station in, but here you kind of build it in in 6 months. it's just impossible. and this is why right now we're just trying to bear to this minimal difference from left and the,

i think help us to have that. you mean there's so we will survive through the winter when something like that happens. but there's a hit on your building when you see the damage really unfolding in front of you. how do you pick yourself up and carry on? what is, what is that an incident like that due to you? on a personal level, it's really hard to sleep at night for me and i sleep usually under the stairs in on the 1st floor because it's a safe, just basic home. but i can tell you there was like something else inside of them. inside of the terrifying experiences of this kid that we've missed and it was how people were getting together as one called my neighbors. and people who are like really coming from and other neighborhoods were coming together, helping out i own if you don't know who helped me out to clean the glass from from

the back yards. and we weren't there to help the kids of our neighbors for a little bit injured. so people were coming together and saying, well look, this already happened, but we are live and we will survive. we are united to your together, you, my mom says as a times like this, people start, i think like birds on the 3 in the winter and you know, like speaking together very closely. and this is what happens. and honestly, this helps me to process all the things and move forward. there was another story like this. recently, when to childrens hospital, us, my dips was hit in the middle of gave my address with ms. tile. and that's a witness. how a loo, human chain of bringing the water intake, you have the rabble. it took a couple of kilometers if it were just coming, standing, helping each other. no question asked. no, like, no worries. a tool and think okay, we'll, we'll, what do we need to do?

we will do, we will survive, will minimize the damage and who will work through it because we are the one. and i think this is answering to the question on the war and get if it has been level 2 and a half years into full scale invasion, 11 years. and you can do the work and tell you we still have it and over. so just give us the means and we will find back. you have seen the proof of that. you have seen us showing you the fact of how effective and efficient we are with the weapons . how careful the hours of happens and that we can deliver. we can show the results and the results of victory and making sure the threshold will be unable to attack us again. and this is what we are working towards. do you still believe in victory to the people of ukraine still believe in victory? absolutely. you know, the only good fuel the be around the one right now is the hope. what would that victory look like? do you think, how do you see this war? and it's

a complicated question on how we achieve not only pushing the russians out of all the categories, but making sure that what would that happen? again, we have seen how impossible the international agreements of support and the international law has been. and so we need to make sure that after the war ends, we see a very clear way of how rational will, does it back us again, us. and i don't seeing right now, there is a person or an organization that finish for us so that, that can take, this has been some of the team. and this is why we need to be working towards making ukraine as strong. the dresser would not attack us. this is the most important question that i think is not solved. the. i have high hopes on presidents lensky plan that he's going to show 2 candidates to the president of the united states, and he's going to share with president biden, maybe there was an answer there, but as a phrase,

now it is unclear. how do we make sure that this war? it doesn't, you get yourself in 5 to 10 years. let's talk about the us and the role of the us in this war, president zaleski said last month that your victory depends mostly on the support of the united states. where a month and a half away from the us presidential election. if donald trump wins, they're a serious concerns. the to caps, assistance to you. he's already said if he's elected him and the war in the day is michel worst nightmare. so it's very upsetting to hear this from a candidate to become a president of the country that thinks of themselves as the leader of the democratic world. i think would make sure your leader is being able to stand up for your balances and to keep your promises. and if you're unable to do that,

then how does the rest of the world would look at you? how the timeline would look at you? how i think the more pieces would look at you saw i seeing that we will see the difference between this 10 statements of the candidate and action of the precedent if that happens. but of course we have concerns. i think it's generally not only regarding ukraine, a very, very dangerous strategy to try and find simple solutions through the complicated problems. because the more in your brain is not only it work for democracy. it's also a war against the precedent in 21st century. one country cannot next to the territory of another one from it, all kinds of the work crimes and then get away with it. and i think allowing teaching to get away was it will create so many more precedence around the glow that the democracies would not be able to handle. and i seen the one once to be

a leader of the democratic world needs to consider that i'm still an interview last week with the drums running mate, j. d rance. we know roughly what is in trump's mind, a settlement which would say russia retain the territory. it's captured so far, create a buffer zone between the 2 states and force ukraine to abandon its own patients to join nato. would something like that ever be acceptable to this or any you guy named government? you know too much as a phrase. now i've seen more than 80 percent of the ukrainians have either someone fighting defense or lost some of the defense. so to push the legs that would basically be saying that all those that, that all those tragedies and all those exercises were for nothing. and i don't think you're bringing people will take that there is also

a question about exit disability of that idea like that. and i think it's, it's not very well sought because like once we have, we still have, like a largest army in, in the continental google. great. how do you stop this army from fighting? honestly, i wouldn't want to be the one who's coming in saying, well, we should go back home and i, i don't know a single person would want to do that. there's a 3rd question. this is very important. one, we already had the deal like that. we only really had it since 2014 and you know how it worked. it works exactly in a very big way and just allows russia to use what they called as to allow me to, to me. and they're cutting piece by piece. take a deep breath. wait until the political leads in the democratic world change a bit, build more factories and drones. overpass sanctions yet beg of the frozen assets

and invest them into military production. and then attack us again. and perhaps not only our cells, but maybe many other countries that are born during pressure. you see, there's also a very interesting, a situation that is a far as the country is from russia, the less of the stripes, the single fits well and i want to, uh, to take all of the great britain from that because you have guys have been our amazing partners, but this is why i see when we are talking about donald trump. is it most effective and efficient answer to his statement was by our president who said, well, we are inviting 10 to to try and president from here to bring to witness himself. what is happening and to make decisions. uh, being uh, absolutely acknowledged about the, the, the risks and the resolved, but also what worked and what absolutely did not work in the past. you will need to

have an opposition party named call us of a voice. what's the role of the political position in more time? you know, on monday, a very smart man told me that, and there is no university in the world who will teach you to be able edition during award time. and that's true. our main goal is right now to keep the country running the service of the army and to make sure that we are getting all kinds of international supports here. and then the very 1st day of the full scale invasion, we made a vol between the political parties and between the political leadership. for as long as it takes no matter how hard it will be, will will then united until the, when the war. and right now, 2 and a half years in i can tell the one thing. it's very hard to additions are not tend to like work together is one. however, we are able to maintain church and unity above critical points to all the country

a mattress, a survival, getting the necessary health. making sure that the economy's writing creating services for all of an army because of people's typing in the front are of the top priority. figuring out a way of how to bring people back up to the work having that a military production and ukraine ramping up on and on and on. these are all the things that you're working on and you, in this matter, you can be in a position to something, right? because you kind of be in a position to that idea of keeping to stay together. and there are main thing that we disagree on. that's also true, and usually mechanical things or certain cases that that would be fine. could have been done differently. but we are trying to resolve them behind closed doors because people are also looking at the us with the hope. it'd be a concentrated, not on that fulfilling of a political emissions, but also on uh,

delivering to the people where they desperately need. are you still willing to fight to still have your kalashnikov as a science to brave men and women who are fighting right now? i didn't have to use it and i'm so so, so grateful and in depth to all of them. are you ready to if you have to? absolutely, we all ready. we did not change our strategy a single bit. we are staying another country. we are fighting is why would freedom and we are making sure that this war is one and then never repeats. it's a good that is pretty good to have your own complex. so thanks very much for coming on. thank you. thank you. go to the
