all we can be the generation, the ends at so good. malaria must die. so millions can live the this is the w news. why? from berlin? strong reactions in keys after the german and russian leaders speak for the 1st time in nearly 2 years. for a lot of years, zalinski says a phone call between chancellor schultz and president. putin will only help la scope and in its isolation. also coming up demonstrators in georgia is break away region of up cause the storm, the parliament demanding the resignation of their kremlin vac leader the and welcome to our viewers around the world. i'm michael ocho,

ukrainian president for a lot of his zalinski has condemned a phone call between german transel of schultz and russia's president vladimir putin. during an hour long conversation there 1st, and nearly 2 years schultz told uprooting to end the war and stressed german support for ukraine. but keith says talks with putting never lead anywhere on the phone with boots in for the 1st time. in nearly 2 years, the german government said that shouts told his russian, count about to stop as warn you, crane, and stopped talks with keith. but according to moscow to stay with food and it was clear that any negotiations would have to reflect russia's gains and on the battlefield, despite the disagreements the cramming. welcome to cool, saying that any dialogue a tool was a positive development in keith. however, schultz, his action was quickly condemned vinegar. oh, that's cool, in my opinion,

opens 10 doors cox. now there may be, haven't conversations of the coals, just a lot of woods, and this is exactly what fruit and has long. one said, he says something to 6th street, really important for him to reduce his isolation. obviously, russia's isolation, this is the let's see what i see the timing of the coal just days off the sheltered coalition. government collapse as some saying was politically motivated. this is about life shouts, still signaling to the gentleman public that he's still in charge. he's still chat . it's not even if he's a lame duck and it seems that the main purpose was really to signal to the jam. and i'd like to read more germans up being questioning germany support for kids with the economy struggling and ukraine on the back foot on the battlefield. thousands turned out for this ballot and rally against weapons deliveries. last month until now, jim and a to crane has been substantial with only the us providing more with snap elections now set for february. and schultz is social democrats headed to the defeat,

the shot slipped, maybe hoping that his new willingness to talk to fulton will win back. both is more, i'm joined by dw, correspond to rebecca rivers in keys. and our political correspondent, julia, sound daily. who's in v spot in today? rebecca, i'll start with you president doesn't. lensky gave a radio interview today after schultz is phone call to put. and what did you say? well in that interview here, michael, he said the ukraine really has to do everything possible to try to come to some diplomatic pace or pay through diplomatic means, i should say, within the next 12 months. but he went on to say that he doesn't believe president putin of russia is very serious about pays, but that, that wouldn't mean he wouldn't come to any negotiating table with west and latest. but instead of really looking for pace, it would be using that as a platform to try to sol relationships with those west and latest have launch the

als to table isolated him since the full scale invasion in 2022. now this comes as 24 hours less than 24 hours, even after that phone call that you just heard about there in the report between all sorts of germany and letting me put in. it was highly criticized by presidents lensky say really was no gains. ukraine and just handed everything to me, poking opening the door of the pandora's box to the words he used to fool relations between western leaders and it could lead to more forwarding with all the leaders. and of course, that, that benefits only put in and i know you crime. and julia, the timing of schultz this call is being read as political with early elections moving for germany. what do you think schultz was hoping to achieve? think on the one hand, looking at the international political situation and especially looking at the re election of donald trump into the white house. so it's may have been thinking that you wanted to show some leadership and fear the situation,

considering also that germany is after the us, the 2nd biggest supporter of ukraine, and that possibly looking at donald trump, wanting to come up or just stop a support for ukraine and possibly pushing for a quick negotiation between booting and ukraine without looking at the price that that would entail for ukraine in terms of the territory in terms of a security guarantees that shows might want to contribute to try to steer this confrontation and hopefully supporting you printing this too, but this also has a lot to do with internal driven politics. we're looking at elections in 3 months and it shows as trying on the one hand to cater to voters that do not want the support ukraine, who want this war to end as soon as possible with whatever consequences. and he's also catering to internally to people and his party were also skeptical about continued support for ukraine. and he's therefore trying to win back support for

himself as the main candidate for his party, but also for it's party itself with motors, a delicate game there. rebecca shultz is overture to put in, comes days after us president electron called zelinski. how hopeful our officials and keep that the incoming us administration will maintain american support. one seems to be 2 schools of sold on to series because nobody knows exactly what the 2nd trump trump presidency is going to look like. certainly not means of either ukraine, russia war. but there's these two's, you know, schools of thought suddenly into nationally. but also here in key or even in ukraine. and of course, one of the peasant mistake is that of a fee that trump will force basically ukrainian capitulation by withdrawing support and forcing you crying to the negotiating table at a very decided by this advantageous position. but there's a growing now, the school of thought, and that is one that presidents a lensky. it seems to be subscribing to whether that's because he really believes

it, or it's just a pragmatic approach. now that trump is headed to the white house, and that is that in fact, it could benefit ukraine in some ways that trump, who has promised to, in the will, within 24 hours, may in fact lead to a hastening all the end of the one that certainly will love me as soon as he said in an interview last night saying he believes that the will will end sooner under a trump winehouse, then it has with the bite and white house a. you know, you can, becoming increasingly frustrated at the fact that the button administration hasn't allowed them to, for example, use long right weapons in russian territory and other things like that, holding them back, leaving the meanness style nice. so there is some hope growing, but that at least see some change and that that change will be positive for ukraine and positive for pace. of course, nobody wanting pace more than the ukrainians. julie, we should mention your add a gathering of germany's green party, which is choosing new leaders ahead of what looked like early elections. are they

still committed to back in new chris from all the things that we've heard here at the party congress? yes, they are. we've heard that coming from the new co leaders that are being elected right now, but also coming from the green party members who are in government for a minister on an in a bad book and vice chancellor a whole bunch of comics we've heard on the babble say she wants to continue and even increase support for you frame. and she said that a last thing and just piece there is more important than the absence of war. and on the other hand to about topics thing that yes, the greens are a party of peace, but they're also a party of freedom. and that, that germany and the green party as a responsible party in the past for years and governments and hopefully for them also in the future. oh, is it to you praying to continue to support it and defend the sovereignty? and we'll leave the last word at that to julia sel. dillion. these bonding and
