the impact was the biggest change doesn't happen the make up your own mind. me the this is dw news live from bell in a lot of them is a landscape is riley and support as ukraine box a 1000 days been small scouts full scale invasion. and these are live stakes is from the european parliament with you friday and president is due to speak to lawmakers via video link will bring you his address line from bras. the

. i'm good. how the office, welcome to the program. it has now been 1000 days since most cal's full scale invasion of ukraine and the war is still raging on undiminished these ally spaces from the u. n. a european parliament in brussels, where ukraine's president follow them is the landscape will soon be speaking to lawmakers of via video link. the parliament is gathering for a special session to mock $1000.00 days since russia's invasion in union has been a steadfast supporter of a few crime. during the conflict. many members states delivering weapons and supplies the u as acted in close cooperation with the united states. but there are enough is over how the return of donald trump to the white house, to change us policy towards ukraine. you official say they will continue to back

teeth regardless of any shift in policy on the truck. and while we wait full, is it n space address that we are now joined by process, corresponded terry shows a terry zelinski is due to address lawmakers and what can we expect from that speech? i think the president, so lensky will a very effectively make the case that a 1000 days of war is a date. nobody would have wanted to mark everyone. uh, you know, on this side of the conflict would've wanted ukraine to already prevail. this is, is really going to be, i think, an emotional speech from president zelinski as they usually are. you know, we've seen him come to brussels many times, also go to some, it's nato summit's, european union summits. and he's always very fervently makes the case that his people are dying,

and that he believes the europeans and the united states could do more to save lives there on the ground. we've just seen this horrible onslaught again from russia. so i think that he has everything he needs to make this very poignant case to the europeans to really sort of dig deeper to try to help his country, a chick russia out. now the european union has been supporting ukraine. the since the start of russia's invasion is that after a 1000 days is that support wavering was it still steadfast from everything we've heard today at this meeting of e u. defense ministers, they say that they will stand by ukraine in, in the phrase that we've heard so often as long as it takes at the same time. we've also heard, for example, from the german defense mentors. surface story is that they have not yet made the decision to provide longer range, weapons the taurus, to ukraine. the story is said in their view,

the calculus hasn't changed. that would make them want to go ahead and give the, these a, these greater capabilities. now of course, we have had a change in the fact that the president biden on his way out of office basically has given ukraine the limited right to use the long range missiles that has been provided to strike in some locations inside russia, particularly encouraged. now this is something that you foreign policy chief burrell said he would like to see expanded. he said the european view is that the weapons we give you crane should be able to be used by ukraine as it sees fit within international law. so this is very, must be european perspective, but at the same time, most of them don't have these weapons to give that would provide ukraine, those capabilities. now you mentioned that bite and a is on the way out. but what are you hearing the corey doors of a pile, then the you how worried uh, officials over the return of donald trump, to the wise homes. and most of them are,

are very worried because trump is so unpredictable. now, there are some interpretations of his statements on ukraine at that point to the fact that perhaps he hasn't exactly said he's going to cut off all u. s. assistance to ukraine. perhaps he wants to leave it and big us so that russian president vladimir putin doesn't exactly know what the us will do next. and that, that would give trumbull a leg up if you really wants to try to be this piece maker. as he said he wants to be, but of course the european countries are very worried, not only about ukraine, but about what and a trump administration will mean for support for europe. use of famously criticized nato, criticize nato allies, defense spending, and said that the us will not defend allies who are not spending 2 percent of their g d p on their own defense. that's still a handful of allies. so of course, if anyone in the, in the alliance isn't secure everybody's in secure. so there are worries on a whole range of issues about about trump coming in. most of them being that we

have no idea what he's going to do. now that the you, as always trust ukraine's rights to defend itself. but what a usually this telling zalinski behind the scenes of to a 1000 days, all the telling him that maybe now is the time to start talking to food to or you know, you do hear these stories and we have now i would say even for the last year heard that there are these discussions with the ukrainians about what they might be willing to give up in exchange for perhaps getting the invitation to join nato. um or, or perhaps that there would be the possibility of troops even coming from europe to would help secure the country if it were to give up on these territories that russia has illegally annexed. but we haven't heard that from the ukrainian government. and so europe in countries including defense ministers who arrived here today are continuing to say that it is up to ukraine to decide and that we do not

want to pressure zelinski into making that decision. of course, if the ukrainians ask their european allies, they may give different opinions. again, you are asking behind close door, so i don't exactly know. but at the moment, europeans very much feel that russia would not stop with ukraine. i believe the secretary general margaret who arrived at this meeting said the same thing just this morning. that if you give up these territories to benefits, put in when something and then he'll think, okay, what can i take next? so you're a p and countries aren't just looking at this as a loss for ukraine. they're looking at this as guaranteeing in stability for europe itself for the foreseeable future. terry, many things stand by, we're going to come back to off to, we've listened to presidents. it in skis, speech, which actually comes as that you weighs the effects of the 2nd coming of donald trump to the white house. he's already affected the way your plans to defend itself as terry has just mentioned,

and there is more change coming. and now let's bring in a report by terry schultz. ready. you're not here. he comes to your opinions and show nice. so lovely. read all the nice european little countries that get together, that route. all you have home lee, they did get together when it comes to collective security. european governments have credit for years that a 2nd, trump term could sharply reduce u. s. military support. this is not a drill any longer. your up is in real danger in the sense that we aren't ready for the possibility of an arm to tack on you territory or in nature territory to many military capabilities can still only be provided on a large scale by the us. as european leaders slowly tackled their long standing to do list increased spending do more to build up your ups a defense industrial base which is extremely important. so fund more industry

cooperation, acquisition corporation, research and development at the level from cases these initiatives should be further along. as part of efforts to jolt you countries out of this complacency, european commission chief versa live underline is trying a new tactic. she's appointed the blogs 1st ever defense commissioner. he's from lithuania, a country that invest a lot in its own military and for which the question of whether europe can defend its own territory could be a matter of life or death. andreas could be, lee is gets it. he says you present a plan of action within his 1st 100 days. oh, you're welcome to go so that we can build a stronger motor as he now amounts on was going up in defense and space system. so is that you is ready for the most of the military contingencies from what, what am i 0? come to really as reminded lawmakers in response to their worried questions. those

extreme military threats come from vladimir putin and not donald trump. t urge them to help simplify the european markets, such as removing legal and political hurdles to making joint weapons purchases and standardizing 155 millimeter artillery shells. so ammunition can be produced and used by most of countries. former let be and prime minister christy on his current says sometimes policy makers just need to get out of the way. we should take off the political table as much as we can allow the industry to develop and take away the hurdles for industry to work. and then we'll be able to meet our security commitments for at least closer to being able to defend you territory. even though another huge factor in european security, whether or not donald trump will help you frame defeat, russia remains and unnerving. unknown of that report by tardy shows that drives us again from the process. a terry walk definitely you actually do to strengthen its

own security. as well, each military security is up to each country itself. and that's why when we talk about military spending, mostly in the nato context, they're talking about spending 2 percent of the country's d, d p on its own military. so that the 1st responsibility is, is a national one. then of course you have nato, which of most of europe and union members belong to. and they consider that really the backbone of their security. but the you itself also has a security clause which most people don't know 42.7, i believe it is. and so you members could also call each other in to help with collective defense. if that were seem to be the case, it hasn't ever really been implemented. there's been talk about it before. but this is something that hasn't really been tested on the side again, because most of these countries also belong to nato. and consider that with the us nuclear guarantees, of course, a much stronger guarantee of,

of their security. but the european union is responsible for spending, and that's really important. so what defense ministers will be talking about today, as they do on what they do constantly, is how they can spend better, how they can make their budget's work together. as i mentioned in, in that piece, you know that they, at this point don't make a lot of joint procurements. they don't make a lot of big purchases, which all of us know, you know, if you go to the grocery store and you buy a lot of something, it usually turns out to be cheaper. they're still not doing that to the degree that they would need to to be really a budget, terribly efficient. and so they're talking about how to do that more. most people thought that the war in ukraine would be the shock that the you needs to really integrate these kind of processes, but it hasn't. and now maybe donald trump's, the new administration, might push them a little bit further down that line. but that's something that is being discussed right now today to add it, terry, is it still the view that in brussels, as well as into you, as well as in the inmates so that ukraine is currently

a fighting uh the use and nato's find for them? absolutely. the european countries, especially along the front line, they're the nordic states, the baltic states, and even countries for their field, like the netherlands, where the secretary general is from. they very much do feel and repeat constantly, that this is the best way to defeat russia for your own security is to help ukraine defeat russia. because again, as i said, if russia wins in ukraine is going to be in bold and then perhaps come after a european country in nato ally, that's their fear. but you also have countries that don't think that it would very much like to see a closer ties with moscow. hungry is victor or bon comes to mind. so lucky is robert feet. so those countries actively work against european so strategic interest by for example, blocking money on that as hungry. austin does here in the u. n. is and is doing currently with money that um,

is your march to pay back countries for some of the support that they've given to ukraine. so i would say that, yeah, the overwhelming majority does believe that ukraine is fighting europe slight, but it's stymied a, you know, at most turns by countries who don't and consensus in the you means they have that power. uh, terry is the warranty? that's for us as in europe for a mold pro protein like we also see in the, in germany we could gain a more palm but well, that's mostly happening at the ballot box, right. and we have seen that in many countries in, in, in recent elections, the concern about the rise of the far right. of course, it raises a lot of that concern. but, you know, not all the far right parties are pro moscow. um, we have seen the netherlands, for example, under the far right government that it has now say it's going to maintain it or your i have that with your money to really worry pause. uh mrs. zalinski is about

to start his address. to parliamentarians, the in brussel fossils and the system the today we move 1000 days since russia on least it's, it's brutal invasion of ukraine. $1000.00 days of terra

suffering and unimaginable loss. $1000.00 days of coverage. resilience and unbreakable spirits. for 1000 days, the people of ukraine on view residential landscape have shown the was, was through bravery. looks like you have stood up refusing to break us. your people are an inspiration to all who value freedom around the was on for 1000 days. this european parliament has to show that to show the with the people of ukraine on their representatives into very health. no, not the united, unwavering and we will continue to stand with ukraine today, tomorrow and every day, for as long as it takes us the,

this isn't a soul, it's not only on ukraine, but on the rules based, owed to an assault on all values. and on our way of life, peace, democracy, and freedom. this is what is at stake here. and we know the sacrifice the ukraine and people are enduring not just for themselves, but for all of us, i will for as a, be proud that this parliament has led to the charge in supporting ukraine, which political finances, humanitarian admitted 3 assistance. and we would always stand for peace or re and peace based on justice, dignity on the principle of nothing about ukraine without ukraine. this is why the,

this is why we have been post top sanctions on russia and we call to go even further to hits rushes will machine. this is why we were the 1st to called for ukraine's right foot place inside our european union. and this is why we with the on the ground in kiss, just a couple of weeks off of the invasion, begun today as we send a clear, simple message. we stand with ukraine on some freedom and read a piece for as long as it takes slideshow, grinding the know i give to you the president of the mood, the floor is yours. thank you so much. thank you very much. you're

a bad man and president of your ladies in charge of your friends, a little friends, friends of you 3. i think you full for supporting you. create. thank you for calling these extraordinary session of the european parliament tomorrow. while solomon d. o. fools gave war. thank you for ensuring that not a single one of the following days of this terrible war became a gay all the 3 out of our share, your opinion about we have proven that these fellows are not just words, not something, extract your pin of those. and the european way of life, when transformed into action, protect the lives of real people, change them off together. ukraine. all of you are, and i apologize, you, americans are all the rules. we have succeeded,

not only in preventing pointing from taking ukraine, but also in defending the freedom of all your team nations. even with north korea's team, jenny, this by his side put in remains smaller than the united states of you are. i heard you not to forget these and do not forget how much you are capable achieving. and if we could stop your, we live from fall and we can surely push roger towards that just piece. this is what we design most. 2 years ago, we've proposed the beach florida and i'm grateful to all of you read and have a partner who that supported aids and you in the european parliament way among the tools to support the beast for uh and that the only one who

offers is it's it's the one who started this war. it's russia every month, who's roger toward just these. every bill and every snack from roger must be met with it. for sense. with solving tease, it has been crucial to read because it reviews trust ability to fall. it's more through oil sales. oh, is it live lot of pollutants regime and to should have made of talk is is what keeps it a lot as long as these tigers. oh great would. you continues to feel strong. sanctions are essential. i think each of you thank you america again and thing each of you who support how people our resilience, our ability to restore safety, even after the most, give us the meta tags by rush together. we have accomplished much,

but we must not see a doing even more now, which it has brought 11 southern north squared. andrew, steve gray's board is these calling to again make role to 100. how on last time you know the latest. think about, you know, some of the actions or something like this at your grace expense, which is focused on waiting before. she will not stop and he's all the more time he asked the wars the conditions. because every today is the best moment to push fresh out hotter, it is clear without southern key fact as rationally will elect real. but it is easy to engage in a meaningful negotiations without a flash in it's, i mean, these depos on russian character without disrupting minutes. right,

logistics that all destroyed for us near bases without it gets lost capabilities to bring use me saw ad drones. and without these assets being confiscated, you know where it well, that puts a decimal study, people or rules to both only money. and these are the scenes we must take away from me to restore peace. if anybody in europe seems they can sell again, selling multiple ukraine or, or any other country like like the voltage states or the ball cost georgette. busy busy and gain something uni tool that then remember these simple rules, no one can enjoy, come, was made to store. and we must do ever seen to add these for fairly and just play as you set back up. and of

course, to gather together some days or more. is that tremendous challenge? hernandez, challenge you great. i just need to make the next year the year of peace. thank you again. thank you so much. thank you for your resolution. is your decision as your friend suppose, your business to your grand during the war yearning to us here? it was best and it tells you what it was. so difficult and things and your pace. you great, thank you very much. so the, the

do you find in it, presidents, it's an automated zealand speed addressing lawmakers, all that you parliament in brussels via video link. thank you from ukraine as it ends the thank europe for enduring support and it's war against a russia. but they also said that sanctions, although they are working, they need to be enforced. they need to be more sanctions. and he asked you up to push russia honda and that the only language russia understands is paula and money. the most often about the anti aust for the war need to end bought fairly and justly in the company regarded

as a pointed towards some today that peace negotiations could only stop under these circumstances. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. i apologize. i believe we're going to our next story. and that is that home comes hi code has sentenced 45 pro democracy latest to jail times ranging from 4 to 10 years in a case condemned by western nations and right groups. they were jobs with subversion for their roles and official local elections in 2020, out on the bay. james and national security, the introducing 2019 of the pro democracy protest. 2 officers in hong kong below,
