the lensky was given special permission to address the assembly by video. in a pre recorded speech, he said you cream can push russian forces of its territories. earlier in the day, russian president vladimir putin had announced a mobilization of reserve forces after successful ukrainian counter attack started back into 0. ukraine's president also called the general assembly to strip russia veto in the un security council. so long as the aggressor is it barking to decision making in the international organization, he must be insulated from there at least until aggression loss, or reject the right to world deprive delegation, right, or remove the right of vito. if it is a member of the un security casa, in order to bond dead resar within that institutions, we're joined now by d. w. corresponded with krista was following the story for us from the united nations in new york. so much io. what did you take away from the lens is address? well, that modem is lensky was pretty, trying to make that case, that this conflict in a country that probably for many is a co

the un general assembly had to vote to allows lensky to give his address virtually is a sniffing that he spoke to day while rushes, president fulton is not taking part well, kitty very important did not want to face. and the criticism here, there were a lot of countries that criticized and rasa implicitly. there's not many such direct attacks as you the, as that were from a job by the u. s. president to basically pushed back on that he made putin speech earlier and does less than 24 hours before he more than implicitly threatened with an nuclear potential nuclear attack and unclear what the details could potentially be. that something that joe biden pushed back on said that a nuclear war must never happen, warning, rasa. but along with it also, china, which is building up its nuclear arsenault, but also iran and north korea. and that's in the united states is observing that very closely. and in the case of iran that it would not allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. all right, so tense war of words is apparently we're being treated to and rushes, invasion of cream is also dominate di

would you, would you advise presence lensky to perhaps stay away from the region? how? how would nato deal with this as well, from the outside? recall impressed an tooth in turn. the wharf that he is responsible for starting the war and he has the responsibility to end the war. ah, because um, if russia stops fighting, there will be peace. if for a said in ski and the ukrainians are still fighting, ukraine will cease to exist as in the plantation. so not speaking about in a way to equals, we have an aggressor, a russia, and we have a country which is a big thing over aggression. ukraine, and that's also the reason why we are so clearly supporting ukraine. we're the legal annexations. all of our over ukraine in territory, doesn't changed nature. this war is remains and war russian by russia against that ukraine. and of course, what we have seen over the last week. so base is the most serious escalation of this conflict since the invasion on the 24th of february, because we have the combination of the mobilization in russia combined with reckless dangerous nuclear rhetori

and i'll present the lensky. i've been in the face all the looming energy crisis. how big is europe's willingness to send more weapons to ukraine? as you can see there, even some politicians who are looking at the problems with energy, he'll say that nordstrom to, for example, pipeline should be a resume to have the problem of energy. we have the problem of sanctions. some saying that we should find another way of talking to put in to talking to moscow not sending any more weapons, but the position and specially members of their own government from the pro business of to p part you have been to keep with been there and said that germany should be quicker, should not drag it's feed when it comes to sending heavy military equipment. the discussion is still ongoing. and one of the opening remarks today was also this a lot to talk about when we look at the members who's currently taking place here in the meeting. we have sweden, we have fiddle and 2 countries that want to be part of the nato alliance to, to really, really broad numbers of partners that are meeting here

is the lensky released a message in russian for the draft days voluntarily surrender, and you will not be mistreated. and if you don't want to return to russia, you don't have to miss it. by these old not accepting a draft notice is better than dying. a war criminal on foreign land like running from this criminal mobilization is better than being crippled as an answering and court for participating in this aggression on top of it, that surrendering to ukrainian captivity is better than falling under the strikes of our weapons. entirely just strikes because ukraine is defending itself in this war. delaney of sheesh. vladimir putin, meanwhile, has signed a decree, toughening sentences for those who voluntarily surrender by up to 10 years in prison, desertion, and refusal to fight carry similar penalties as moscow. swiftly drafts new recruits. it's also making changes to its top military leadership. the general in charge of rushes, logistics operation in ukraine has been replaced. but the mobilization order has faced strong opposition within russia. from st. petersburg to siberia russians
