in the this is dw news live from the in germany's lang senior shots against down to the business of pulling a government for the next map says the world was wage. but it's not clear whether his probable the coalition pump is, will allow him to fulfill all his campaign from is also coming up on the program. 3 is officer rush and launched at full scale invasion of ukraine. european leaders gather and keep in a show of support. since the u. s. takes a softer line on russia and french president the money order. my car arrives at the white house where he's hoping a strong us involvement in folks to end the rule in ukraine. the

money is making and welcome to the program. germany has voted for a change of government and a shift to the right with the results from sunday's national election. now official, the conservative police mounts is points to become the next john slip is c to u. c. s u block is set to lead a future government probably in partnership with the social democrats who led the previous administration. the far right alternative germany policy came in 2nd, but now it says that he will not work with them. so let's take a look at the numbers. matt says, conservatives came out on top of the f. d double the share of the vote, making them the 2nd largest policy. so it says, a social democrats suffered that was to face and over a century, the greenville also did badly. the left policy fed better than expected. the b s. w,

which splinted from the left policy last year, failed to make the 5 percent threshold needed to enter parliament. and that was the same for the liberal f d p. absolutely mount says he wants to get to work right away saying, well, why don't wait for us, but even if he is able to quickly full and the governing coalition, his partners might make it difficult for him to fulfill some of his campaign promises. 5th, think you may have promised this change is on the way, but you need to form a government 1st and the available populace. half beckett's, the biggest majority would be a coalition with the file, right? a if d o 2 and a 2 foot gemini, which came in seconds, but that's a red line map says he won't cross your list. these are, we must have privacy. i asked him, it's breeding ground was vital and i'm not interested in solutions losing it because he is not so says a of

d co leader at least viable running on an anti migration platform. the pots you manage to double it support since the last election mandates the a if the is ready to flex it isn't, but we are prepared to take responsibility, neiman, develop, the voters, want a sensor, right? government. and it's ultimately up to the sea to use. yes. you whether they want to implement their system with the a fee on the wrong side of the firewall, freely smith will have to look at as well. it won't be the business frankly, ftp, who got kicked out of the book in the stock altogether. and it probably won't be the green party as this would not deliver the necessary majority. that only leaves the center left s p d as a realistic option. the poverty of current chance, low enough thoughts, which took a beating from voltage losing nearly 10 percent of its support. salts already announced that he will not be part of any new governments after this electoral defeats. but his policy says it's open to negotiations with the conservatives

and provides cuz we are prepared to hold tullocks for the bull is in favors mathis course. and then the course of the tools will decide whether a government is built on the call and votes of seeing a cd. you'll see as you and s p d correlation many times before. it's even got a nickname, a grams coalition. but for many, the prospect doesn't exactly. eros enthusiasm, i have gotten the rest and yet we had 16 years of a grand coalition. that's what i grew up with. so yeah, yeah. solving these, i don't think anything will change significantly most imposing days. we don't let putting in trunk get the better of us and math rent on the promise to reinvigorate european leadership. 6, the economy and reform migration. but gaming a government's apartment is the 1st total he has to overcome before he can deliver on anything. a. all right, let's get more from the don't use political correspondent hands on. so honest with hearing that these coalition talks that gonna start,

they want to happen the thing that they want to get them done. fost, total source of what about what germany's next government life might look like. in fact, uh because there's some folks even though that haven't started formally that has been informal contacts in the background for several days already. even probably before the election results were known as a people already sending out the feelers to see what issues might be controversial . what people might be involved, that sort of thing. and people that i think is an important thing to talk about to you. we know that all the 3 major politicians from the previous codes issue, government will no longer play a particular role. while i've showed the tron, so that is going to become a normal back venture and call them and he'll stay in parliament, but he's not going to play any leading role anywhere in the next to a few years. the same goes for the green lead, a real bad haul back. he's also going to be

a simple doc venture and the lead off the vice chunk. let us try. so that is minister of the economics, minnesota and the leader of the free democrats and the, the market liberals and they are out of parliament. and he's just simply finishing his political career. so especially on the side of the social democrats who are very likely to be going into condition talks with the conservatives. they are going to need to appoint people to do this. new people, new prices. they're going to have to really scramble to find those people that decide who's actually going to play what role in that party and then you've got. and so the new government is likely going to be a c, d, u. s p d coalition. they will have an opposition, so talk to us a little bit about the opposition that this new government is likely to face. yes, the problem and obviously is going to be re constituted. and the major feature of that is that the fall idle alternative to germany, i asked you has doubled the number of people that they will have in parliament. they are,

will be the largest opposition party in problem. and they have already in the past few years, been very disruptive impala and with a rather few a numbers of members that they had there. and they've already announced that they will do whatever they can to make the governing difficult for the coming and coming government. and they will have quite a lot more influence. and probably not only through the role christmas of the numbers of people that they can deploy in parliament. but also because they will be entitled to, to something like championships, the various committees possibly to some leading functions within a parliamentary organization and so on. and they were old, you as old as positions to try and put spanners in the work. and on the other hand, we have the greens in opposition who are being part of the government until now that probably will have some sort of motor racing influence. and then we have on the far left the left party who have said that they will see themselves as guardians of

a social reform of the interest of the poor people. so our position is going to be quite severe. i think for the new government, it's not going to have an easy time. it's going to come out to saying that he needs to get this new government up and working as soon as it's possible needs to start making things happen. how realistic is it that these coalition tools can happen quickly? and the, we do see a new government foss, there is, i think, a child that was talking about east, in other words, in about 2 months time. i think that is quite a good charge that, that kind of time schedule could be kept for german coalition discussions. that's pretty quick and all, and i think they've all been saying that they will no longer have the kind of coalition contract where you have thousands of different contractual stipulations that people have to stick to the until i have an agreement that is more on the level of the general aims for this government. but if not,

says that the day after he has become john so that he will stop to doing all sorts of things from day one and assume the amount of that to donald trump has done. that's not really possible in german politics. so even once he takes paula, as it was, it will take some time to get things going. so we have to, i think, prepared here for the transition period. that goes well in 2 months. the domains, political correspondent have fun fun. thank you so much. a boosting the economy was a big prior. so you for many verses and the selection people want lower taxes to offset high inflation. businesses are also hoping for a quick fix that looking for less red tape and low energy costs to help them invest more. the votes are in the general tenor in germany, is that the new government must turn things around the economy. it needs special attention. after all,

growth in germany has been declining for 2 years and the future outlook isn't rosie either. many companies, including those in german industry, or know, hoping for relief as they're struggling with an overall difficult environment. the german economy is looking for stability 1st and foremost. secondly, what we are hoping for, and what we'd desperately need in order to be able to invest again in germany is a clear signal that the in bearable burden of bureaucracy will be lifted at least to us in to some degree. and thirdly, of course we, you could use impulses that foster innovation. germany is a very innovative country. we are still an innovation powerhouse. germany

must become more competitive in order to keep up internationally. many companies are calling for less bureaucracy, lower energy prices, and higher incentives for investment. the new government also needs to ensure a good trading conditions for businesses because of germany's dependence on exports . this is according to more self structure, president of the german institute for economic research. the next change then quickly needs to go to washington dc. it needs to negotiate, needs to talk to them on the truck, to piece and as good as possible, but to that is the difficulty to deal with us on the one hand, threatening china on the other, having a war in europe and with internal problems in germany, so they have multiple crises at most importantly, the next translate needs to strengthen your only strong united. your can represent

german interest. economists say the new government must get to work quickly so that the german economy can get back on track. so let's take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world and sit down. the military is broken and nearly 2 years siege of the south eastern city of obeyed. it's seen as a t victory and it's war against the recessive power military group. residents and soldiers was seen celebrating. millions of people have been displaced by the conflict. your opinion has ease most sanctions on syria following the outing of the outside regime in december. the block is suspended restrictions on energy trade transport and banking the wants to help syria rebuild of to assessing use of civil war talk. he's president richard. ty baldwin has offered to host possible talks on ending the war and ukraine is been missing. the russian foreign minister, so

a lover of that one says on crew will be happy to help media using any negotiations between moscow and t. the european commission president, also on the line says ukraine could join the you in the next 5 is if it presses a head with set and reforms. she was speaking in keys on the 3rd anniversary of rushes, full scale invasion around a dozen leaders from the you and canada. i've also traveled to you train. spain has announced a 1000000000, you're a 1000000000 year. i was in military aid for caves, but tensions all rising between ukraine and its biggest back to the united states. let's take a look back at how it rushes invasion if you crane began and some of the major events that have happened since then or brushes, invasion again, just before 4 in the morning. i'm glad from the soon afterwards for some

tank started rolling over the port of grade. 10 days later, russian troops had reached the key of suburbs, maybe 20 kilometers. landscape of downtown keith. people could hear the certify the edge of the city versus the troops underestimate as ukraine resistance as of a stretch the logistics fire, the april you created, pushed crescent troops out of the key region as they did so, they came across the 1st evidence of personal trustees like here, let me put you these with the scenes. and so we took the city month registration beginning in september, ukraine. we took thousands of square kilometers, attaching the south and east of the country for ukraine, and going hard and fostering the previous votes him versus ami. went for slow. instead he advised me at least after 10 months or so called me, cried the seat, rushing captive. what was left of the city of but much more than $60000.00 russian

soldiers are estimated to being killed or wounded. taking the city, walk up to a month for speculation. months in which russia was able to build defenses, lay mine fields, grain launched its long awaited counter offensive results. amiga. ukraine was only able to shift the front line by a few 100 square kilometers. this was something, no one had expected ukrainian troops on russians. so with the front lines in the south, the east well defended every mind. ukraine struck the most of the least expecting it in a couple of days. ukraine to take him to town a suggest surrounding villages. in january 2025, ukraine stepped up its long range during the tax on russian oil facilities. the aim was to disrupt the fuel supply to the russian army, as well as reducing the criminal export earnings. this is versus invasion of ukraine, which is the 3rd anniversary rush it controls about 20 percent. you create the entire tree. 12000 crane civilians been confirmed killed before the 30000 injured.

the truth is believe to be significantly higher luxury casualties because it kept under wraps on both sides. so 2 estimates put the military desktop at 80000 on the crate inside of 200001 the russian side, with many more wounded w corresponding economy fall that report and he joins us now from keith. and it can, you are at the summit of european leaders and president zalinski. do we know what was decided to do? we know what was next for ukraine in terms of here, a pay in support? the whole state. they can't do a great deal about nato without donald trump coming on side. so that kind of secures component the ukrainians would want so daily is basically on ice. we don't know if indefinitely or not, but for now, as you just mentioned it in the show about the you, i think that was a really kind of important intervention. requiring perspective joining the you

normally something it can take years and years. so the idea that this is going to be potentially done in the space of 5 years or even early a said to come as present on the line if you can, keeps up the pace of reforms that it has already even during war time. that is something that i think most people will be very happy to hear. it doesn't provide them. security is not the same security guarantees, but it is a kind of economic and social perspective. something for people to think about. and now, you know, that's the kind of long it protects me now. next couple weeks. going to see how donald trump and volumes. let's get on. we've just said in the last half hour, so adult trump saying that he's expectancy and meet. so let's get in person. in the next week or 2 to sign this minerals deal, it's being very contentious stream, ukraine and the us the volume is and it's keeping very vocal that you wouldn't sign anything that he says will take ukraine hundreds of years to pay off. so lots of kind of dramatic fi works expected, but the big picture, at least with europe, is that ukraine, according to the latest and today is on its way to europe. w, corresponding economy reporting from cave. nick,

thank you so much. we're joined now by maria f diva from the foreign policy research institute of think time she's joining us from keith. and thanks for joining us, maria. and are you in crayton in europe as being on the sidelines? well, the us and russia have been talking, can you tell us, does ukraine really find itself in a strong enough position for real peace negotiations to start? so you know that the real fighting is happening in ukraine and i've just yesterday have been the media in the ukraine now. soldiers to create another artillery unit in harkey region. and they say, we don't feel any negotiations or in this in happening because what we feel are a constant russian ethics. and what we know is how we have to refile them and keep our positions so that the russians will not be able to move toward their. and the only thing they, they were in the real need off is more munition and more artillery shells. because

this allows them to keep their position. and i think this is what the most important so that everyone realizes that this is a brand new, an army, your brand of soldiers who are now protecting and defend, and not only ukraine, but uh you are up from the russian regression and everyone needs to do very quickly, us as much as possible so that ukraine can continue keeping, keeping up the trunk line. because while russia is taking time for negotiations and using this time, they keep on pushing and they keep on attacking ukraine like every night here in kia, a hundreds of drawings are being launched and the frame and air defense is shutting them down. so all of these needs lots of resources. so lots of military resource system. this is what is the most critical for ukraine at the moment? well, european leaders of course, are in, in key right now. they say they want to provide more support for ukraine. do we know what that might look like as well?

they were talking a lot about the support in the ukraine landscape would deal with just to produce more web funds and your brain, in fact increase that they produce an office own reference to the 3 years of the war just amazingly. but this is a force not enough ukraine alone will not be able even with the support was the reference to defend against russia because to grain all most important and needs of critical security guarantees. and this is what we did not hear unfortunate that today from you repeat and we just, yes, do you membership might be something that we'll be as a guarantee, but this will happen as we have codes on the uh, off to 2000 in 2000 is 30 here, but you probably need some guarantees right now, and this is what your brands are asking our partners about what we will guarantee that the rush will not effect again, was a more grace or power. is it more developed military capabilities?

the us and ukraine has been going back and forth on this minerals deal. uh, the details are on clear, but i mean, you mentioned the need for security guarantees. there are a suggestions. the security guarantees for ukraine might be included. i mean, do we know what this deal could means? the ukraine as well? unfortunately not. no, like details have been reported yet by president jalencia. made it clear that security guarantees must be in that z o x. so a lot of this mean the arrows are located in the east to a few grain in the areas which are current flu, basically, consequently upset by russia or even are in the territory of $25.00 by russia. and this is a good question, rather, u. s. companies will actually invest money in the areas which will be later,

either attacked by russia or russian or will be trying to, once you buy them because it's just about the rush size of the russian strategy is to occupies more ukrainian territory and will it, uh no or bring they more military aid from the us to defend at least this investment and all of this we will here pretty soon because the reports are that these bill will be my very soon on president savanski also have said that that they are going to announce that was in the, in the upcoming days or in the us has said the both sides, ukraine on russia. we'll have to make concessions in order to reach an agreement. what kind of concessions would ukraine be willing to make as well? i would not what i would need to call a concession, strongly ukraine down side, because here we are not speaking about to park and s p or we are speaking about the

aggressor states and russia. is there a dresser space and countries that this quite constantly under russian effects and where russia invaded? and if we talk about like what you pray. now, talking position is our position in the negotiations. ukraine has already said that we are ready to diplomatically and the war and your brain at the moment does not have military capabilities through the occupied territories currently occupied by russia. we will never meet this territory as, as russian central. but at the moment, we will not, we are not able to return them. the time will come when you brand will be more prepared to get more rep funds and a more capabilities and to retain back the best territories. but the time being a duplicate metric means is what your brain has and what you can propose this. and this is, i think, a very big step to read the possible do you reach will and the war. maria of the, the, from the foreign policy research institute. think tank,

maria. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. uh president trump, the french president. the money on my call has been holding tools out the white house joining all the g 7 leaders on a video, cool trump, so they all want to see an end. the war in ukraine. mccall said fronts wants to build a loan last in peace on europe is ready to be a strong department to the us. and to step up on defense, president nicole says, trust the value of transatlantic cooperation have great respect for bravery and resistance sofa. often bringing people and we do show that you are taking people of piece as well, very aware of and this is the 2 plus guarantees in the slick piece or 2 to study nights the situation a here as a friend because some sensor is we've been friends and we, are we office in front of you mentioned it because we were very well together. and,
