[000:00:00;00] we are simply suspending, which proves once again that russia wants to find such a boda, some kind of path to peace talks, but peace talks without reparations, without admitting guilt and e surrender cannot be at least as of now thank you for being with us, we said goodbye to you until tomorrow until 19:00 be with the press well, literally in a few seconds , a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news good evening. we are from ukraine talks about peace and ukraine's support for putin in moscow, the influence of the west, nuclear weapons let's sum up today's events together, this is bbc new from ukraine, olga palamaryuk is working in the studio, kyiv is strong, kyiv is free , what else did president biden say in warsaw, the latest

from our correspondents well, a few hours before that, putin made a speech in moscow, putin said that the west started the war and a special report from war-torn bakhmut as a living city, the struggle for which has been going on for more than six months after an unannounced visit to ukraine , the president of the united states of america arrived in poland today in warsaw. the planned meeting between joe biden and andrzej duda, and even before the arrival of the american leader, the office of the polish president called today's meeting historic, and biden's visit a symbol of the most intense polish-american relations in history. so let's see how everything happened around 1 p.m. local time.

at the same time, 1,000 km from warsaw in moscow , president putin was finishing his speech , we will also talk about it, but for now , biden and duda spoke to poland in the presidential palace about the security of poland on nato's eastern flank, a year later, the nato bloc is stronger than ever yesterday, we spoke with president zelensky in kyiv and i proudly declare that our support for ukraine remains steadfast and back will get finland in nato and it turned out that sweden is also joining if no jokes, i think if we keep calm and stay focused we will be in a better position than ever we

later the delegation went to the royal joe biden made a speech to the poles and ukrainians at the castle there. what was he talking about? we will ask the bbc correspondent diana kuryshko. she was in warsaw listening to the speech of the president of the united states diana. congratulations, what was the most important thing in biden's speech that caught your eye? congratulations , ukraine will never become a victim, and russia will never be a victim. the aggressor's peacemaker is impossible, he needs to speak no , no , that's exactly what the us president said today here in warsaw in front of the presidential palace . gathered here today to listen to the american leader, he mentioned the horrors ukraine has gone through this year, he talked about russia kidnapping ukrainian children, he talked

about rape, about russia bombing ukrainian cities and villages, schools and hospitals . biden emphasized that hospital. biden emphasized because russia hoped that this war would disunite its allies and disunite nato , but despite everything, nato remains stronger, which support for ukraine remains stronger, and biden promised to support ukraine in the future he thanked the ukrainians for their courage, he thanked the poles for helping the ukrainians so much and said , “ god bless you for this help.” you and our support will be with you as long as it is needed our help for ukraine will remain steadfast nato will not be

divided and we will not tire of president putin's thirst for lost lands and the government will be defeated and the love of the ukrainian people for their countries will win, the democracies of the world will stand today, tomorrow and forever, this is what is at stake. freedom is the message with which i directly addressed the people of ukraine yesterday in kyiv, but if anyone expected to hear today from the speech of job baiden in warsaw, some key new things that can change for example, the course of the war, this did not happen because biden, in principle, repeated the theses that american politicians promote on all platforms, putin was wrong, ukraine will endure , ukraine will win, we will be with you, maybe

the poles wanted to hear here today in warsaw that nato has arrived more of its contingent here, that there will be more nato troops here, of course ukrainians wanted to hear the news that ukraine is getting f16, but that didn't happen either, and a few days before biden's visit here in warsaw there were huge posters and videos of such social advertising poles to biden, give ukraine airplanes , polish officials also addressed biden with these statements, but this news today is biden's. it was such a speech about a strong world, a strong free democratic world that is now in to ukraine and defends the cause of its freedom badin actually compared the war in ukraine with the war for freedom and democracy, and tell us about the security measures, how they differed from

the previous day when biden was in the ukrainian capital, warsaw was preparing for biden's visit, and the city center was closed since yesterday for a while even airspace was blocked a -and this probably contributed to it and the weather was very windy , also huge police borders around the royal castle a-and people who came here to perform had to go through very strict a checks security measures, even though the performance was open to everyone, and anyone could do it. but before that, you had to come to a special online registration. well, we just saw on the footage that thousands of people were listening to biden near the royal castle . tell me if you managed to to communicate with them, what was their reaction to the speech of the american leader, and from the speech

of j. byton here in warsaw, there are such impressions that he generally said this in ukraine, that is, in the speech, most of his words were dedicated to ukraine and ukrainians about the poles were also mentioned, but much less, but the poles and ukrainians with whom we spoke today here in warsaw said that they were very impressed and glad to have the president of the united states here and to listen to his speech. this is what biden's words meant to the audience. with ukraine that ukraine is not alone and we will fight together with you and so i really liked that baide emphasizes that he will support ukraine to the end and this gives me more hope that our country will be enough because without international

help would be much more difficult than and of course we all those cameras on f16 in general today was a very special day in general today was a very special day of two speeches by the presidents and first putin's then biden's and it looked like so what is this speech competition biden mentioned putin's russia more than once this in the speech, he said that it seems that we do not want to start a war with russia, and analysts say that it is rather such a personal competition and victory and race, and the biggest competition and race between two politicians of two powerful states of the world since also kennedy khrushchev, yes, about putin , his speech today

, we will talk a little later now. thank you diana for such a meaningful story from warsaw, bbc correspondent diana kuryshko, but today the prime minister of italy giorgia ameloni visited bucha and irpin in kyiv. suffered from the atrocity of the russian army in the spring . last year, melody listened with emotion to stories about the tragedy, after which she assured that italy would continue to support ukrainians later. the prime minister met with the president zelenskiy discussed the sixth package of military aid from italy to ukraine, it will mainly include air defense systems, melloni said, because now they are strategic and protect civilian infrastructure, except for the sampt air defense system, which italy is preparing to provide together with france, the package will also include the sky guar and spike complexes. as for the supply of italian fighter jets the prime minister noted that when it comes to a country against which aggression is being committed, all the weapons that are supplied are

defensive and intended for protection. well, one more an event that attracted the attention of many in moscow today, president putin made a speech, the main topic of the message to the federal assembly was the war with ukraine, from this speech, loud statements were expected regarding the declaration of war in russia. mobilization, instead, those present heard another round of standard accusations against ukraine and the west. and, of course, new nuclear threats for two hours. putin repeated that russia was the victim, the aggressor said that the western countries have been preparing ukraine as an anti-russia since the middle of the 19th century. in his speech about the war, he touched on his favorite topic about the decline of morale in the west, but what putin did not mention. these are the tens of thousands of ukrainians killed by the russian army in the war, and he did not say a word about the dozen who were destroyed by the russians at the end of the speech, putin still made

a resounding statement. he announced the suspension of russia's participation in the treaty on strategic offensive weapons. what does it mean? well, in short, this treaty limits nuclear weapons between the united states and russia has up to 1,551 nuclear warheads and up to 700 units of intercontinental ballistic missiles and bombers . putin has also instructed the ministry of defense and the russian air force to ensure readiness for testing russian nuclear weapons. nato has already reacted to this statement. the secretary general of the alliance called on russia to reconsider its decision. the military operation did not go according to plan , it led to a great loss in the ranks of the russian military, but today in his address we did not see any hints that

that putin repents or regrets, there are no hints that he is looking for a compromise or some way out, on the contrary, he seemed very confident that he would survive international sanctions, that he would manage to retain the support of the russian people and that he would like to win at least some kind of victory in ukraine, but we do not see a compromise, we see an escalation because putin announced the suspension of russia's participation in the important nuclear deal on strategic offensive weapons between russia and the united states and another moment putin's speech i watched on tv today because journalists from the so-called countries that are not friendly to russia were not invited to this address to the nation, mostly about what conclusions can be drawn from putin's speech to observers outside of russia, let's talk with the russian editor of the bbc's monitoring department vitaly shevchenko vitaly, we heard what moskovsky heard what i am not like the moscow correspondent, and he talked about the fact that journalists from unfriendly

countries were not invited to putin's speech, what can i say about the journalists of the country with which russia is at war, what impressed you the most? what's new? we heard from putin's statement. what's new? well, probably a little less than nothing . ah, an insidious measure is trying to destroy russia. no, there are nazis in ukraine. ukraine historically belongs to russia. russia is trying to free the people of ukraine from these neo-nazis. what did he not say? for example, there were a lot of expectations about what he would say about the successes of the special military operation

. of the kremlin and military accounts in telegram. for example, i see that they are not very impressed by such a speech. well, anti-western rhetoric in general is so characteristic of the kremlin, and from your observations, which audience was this speech focused on, was it aimed at the internal or after all at external well, actually, how are these statements perceived in russia? i think they are intended for both western and russian audiences , and then i talked about why this special military operation began, why it should continue, and well, he had already almost well, excused himself for what is happening in ukraine, and the main point of the west is the opinion that he wanted to convey, this is probably why i

am tormented by the crucian carp and i am not afraid of you, and even if you do not do it, my operation will continue with regard to the reaction inside russia, well, it is very difficult to measure it, therefore that this is a very repressive environment and everyone who will openly say that i didn't like putin's speech well , they are taking a risk. that's why it's so hard to say with complete confidence, but looking at how the russians support this operation, it seems to me that many of them that they carefully listened to putin and accepted his theses, what conclusions can be drawn from putin 's tone in relation to the event at the front because he even talked at times about the escalation that follows from this, he did not dwell in detail on the fact that russia is planning what it can

to do in ukraine, he only said that step by step we will achieve our goals, but the tone itself somehow hints that he will try to continue this special military operation. is on whether there will be any aggravation in the spring, but a completely different question, can russia achieve this now, does it have the resources for this? well, it’s also worth comparing today’s speech yes with joe biden’s speech yes in poland ah what parallels are you drawing is it just that everything happened at the same time, a coincidence, i think president biden tried to play ahead with his visit to kyiv, and how these speeches were

delivered almost simultaneously today. of course, they had a slightly different orientation there, president putin tried to demonstrate such a militant zeal, president biden talked about how the west and america will be with ukraine as long as necessary, but there are certain common features, and that other president, they signaled that they are not ready for compromises, that they adhere to their positions and, for example, this means that i would not expect any negotiations in the near future.

in a speech, he said that russia is not at war with the people of ukraine, the russian army fired at kherson once again, they hit a residential area, the local market and the stop of public transport were damaged, so far we know about six dead and 12 wounded . the city was hit by hail , a kindergarten, a hospital, critical infrastructure objects and residential buildings were hit by a direct hit, several apartments burned down, also during putin's speech at the un, it was reported that at the beginning of the war in ukraine, more than eight thousand civilians died, and this is only confirmation of the data. meanwhile, the situation in donbas remains difficult, russian troops are trying to bypass bakhmut, and from the north , the city has been surrounded by mine for more than six months . it is assumed that the russians intensified their offensive there in order to finally demolish the city the day before anniversary of the invasion from bakhmut, a report

by a special bbc correspondent, orlegering on the approaches to bakhmut is going on because of it ukrainian troops are still protecting every five lands the battle for every street, but the enemy almost enough hand grenades are approaching and many wounded people ask this wounded man how his legs are okay he says then they desperately try to drag him away from the line of fire we may have to give up the bahmut defense to save the lives of fighters and

resources for battles in other regions plusplus end of communication but for now there is no retreat on the outskirts, we joined this mortar brigade under the enemy in our section , we fronted on the coordinates for the second strike , the target, the russian troops in their trenches that about 2 km from here, day after day and night after night, ukrainian forces are fighting here to get bakhmut back, they gave it away in an underground bunker, their commander ivanko directs the strikes with the help of a drone, but smart weapons do not

change the fact that there are fewer of them than the russians, how long will they be able to defend the island its position may be long enough for president putin to not be able to declare victory here on the anniversary of the war and without a doubt long enough for there to be more victims here from bakhmut and other front-line areas do not bother to come wounded, they can become a target even here. therefore, we cannot reveal the location of most of the wounded under the age of 30. in the future of ukraine , you can be prepared for medical aspects and you adapt, but it seems to me impossible to adapt to the fact that young guys are dying who are fighting for independence and freedom it is impossible to get your country used to this because it has a dislocated shoulder. president zelensky called this

year the year of victory, but the reality is that ukraine and its western allies may have to be ready for a long war with bahmut, but now i would like to recall the events that started the full-scale invasion of the airport in the city of gostomel. according to the kremlin's plans , it was supposed to become the gateway to kyiv for the russian troops, but instead it became the place of their mass death. the battle for the airfield lasted from february 24 until the end of march, the ukrainian airport defense village was blown up by the elite embassy paratroopers, the very ones who were sent to conquer the capital in three days, but what exactly did those airport defenders who were the first on the morning of february 24 to experience saw russian helicopters and survived rocket attacks. my colleagues returned to the damaged but still unsubdued gostomel and talked with those who first

encountered the russian elite airborne troops. in these shots, russian paratroopers are preparing to land near kyiv. this would be the first large-scale landing of russian troops on ukrainian soil and beyond according to the plan of putin's army , this should be the beginning of the capture of kyiv, but in fact this moment is the beginning of the great failure of the russian army, its presence at the gostomel airport is now remembered by the ruins and garbage to the border guards who met the russian landing forces to carry out the attack, the national guard helped them, then they were replaced by the armed forces, this was the officer's room before the war, this border guard decorated the treysin, every room in these corridors and memories for him, you see these are the boxes with sand that the russians used here to build their fortifications and they needed these hooks to hang drippers

for their wounded more than 30 russian attack helicopters were approaching the airport no one from the ukrainian side was convinced that he will survive, dozens of ukrainian defenders were captured, they were kept in the basement of the airport and forced to load the corpses of russian soldiers, this serviceman is returning here for the first time after his release , the most difficult thing was that there was very little drinking water, he constantly wanted to drink the airport , the guest house, the home of the ukrainian dream, the largest transport plane in the world, dream february 23 in 2022, they were preparing for the next flight already in a matter of hours after that, this gostomeli airfield was attacked by the russian military, they were convinced that it would become theirs

the wide-open gates to kyiv, however, all they managed to do was destroy the iron part of the same dream, but in no case not the dream itself. on the morning of the invasion, gostomel was protected by the national guard and border guards alone , the turntable sat down behind these barricades. in the direction of the dream, there was a dream, the rest was landing, and behind that building, a girl is standing, behind that tower, the landing party was landing, and they were just walking along the road along these buildings , they were approaching us, we were directly in at a certain moment, it seemed that we would not be able to get out alive, and that was the most frightening thing for this national guard platoon commander, those minutes and seconds were that i could, well, really, not see my son . he describes the battle on the first day of the invasion as the battle of david with the

goliath. the armed forces came to the rescue. there was one officer who commanded him and the strokavniks who were shooting clay officers and he put turntables and the strakovniks were on anti-aircraft guns who they opened fire on them well, it was simply unreal to sit there because when the plane flew 53 they knew where the anti-aircraft guns were, they just immediately flew at them and started working well, those strakovits were there, you can say they were heroes, well, without shelter, without there was no protection there, it was just like that in an open area and they met these uh turntables well, they did not get lost, they opened their work to the last, fought until the bull ended

strip of the gostomel airport in order to prevent the following people called the airport defense forces the gostomel lions, this is another living legend of this war zhanna bezpiychuk kevin mcgregor oksana turub bbc news gostomel well, in turkey, rescuers are looking for survivors under the rubble after two more powerful earthquakes occurred in the south of the country on these frames you can see the moments on monday night when the region around the city of atakiya was struck by an earthquake in me there 6.4 this area near the border with syria the same idea as a result of two powerful earthquakes two weeks ago killed more than 46,000 people according to the latest reports this time at least six people died and hundreds of others were injured schoolgirls talk about fear and panic on the streets ambulances and rescuers tried to reach the most affected areas many buildings that were already damaged collapsed natural disaster deepened

the suffering of millions who were left homeless as a result of the earthquakes , bbc correspondent anna foster reports from the sports complex in the city of adana, where they opened relief center when last night we felt these new powerful aftershocks hundreds of people left their homes and ran here to look for some kind of safety because it was very unlike the thousands of aftershocks that have been happening here in the last two weeks the buildings were shaking the ground was shaking the people you see here came here because they are more relaxed here this is a newer building it is not a high-rise building in which they simply cannot feel safe now so they ran here many people with children spent the night here some brought with them pets because people now just don't know where to go in this building which they thought was safe because they survived the previous earthquakes when they feel these aftershocks they are just afraid that

it is dangerous at home besides a new earthquake happened in the place of the old one as for the number of deaths and injured, fortunately it is small compared to the earthquake two weeks ago , many buildings have already been destroyed, and those that are still standing are mostly empty, but in fact the worst is the human suffering due to the fact that it happened last night, many families with children are already traumatized by what happened in the last two weeks and everything is happening again, well that's all for today, we will be on the air again tomorrow at 21:00
