to react to events in eastern ukraine resolutely and unequivocally those were her words how could the e.u. and nato support ukraine short of sending in troops should include they send additional weapons should they in fact speed up the timetable for a ukrainian membership in nato what do you think. well at the moment i think. most things have been done so there were strong words and weapons were sold to ukraine in the past year or so i don't think ukrainian army needs. something which which my. which might change the situation on the ground of course it would like to have a pattern of systems but i don't think the us will go that far because that will provoke russia of course what more might be needed if we see an escalation and you military conflict and which will lead to ukraine losing more territory then i think your europe and the west in general should think about strength training or. building new creating new sectoral sanctions against sectors of archon economy because this sort of has shown we have seen it in the past years the most the strongest instrument to influence russia

that is russia country really just stand by its political impossible if it's competitor it's in eastern ukraine are mowed down by decreeing an army but primarily this is about nato is is the geo political problem that was cost 7 years ago and nato expansionism into ukraine is deemed to be an existential threat to russia so this is the source of the conflict that is russia not nato refuses to hold its expansion and pursue neutral turn it is for countries along the russian borders while ukridge no role in russia said like a clear red line against further expansion which it intends to uphold but previously mentioned there was no political solutions. but the minsk agreement was the mutual agreement for a political settlement and this agreement did entails that. the government think he would negotiate directly with us or it isn't don't bust and pursue deep constitutional reforms to decentralize power and ground don't buy us a certain degree of autonomy the problem of course for ukraine is if they do it they're going to have a lot of internal divisions but ukrainian nationalists will not accept this

decision to escalate now but the problem is much deeper i think there are several problems in eastern ukraine which putin doesn't like and wants ukraine to move and tends to yield to russian wishes the west is not behaving like russia would like it to and maybe also putting seize an opportunity in a general jail political constellation because in the u.s. we have a new administration which is not quite strong enough we have in germany angela merkel the chancellor who is going yeah and it's not clear who will be after there is a pandemic in the world to the world is weakened by the pads. demick ukraine is very weak so this is just a chance and putin is known to be someone who uses the chances. thank you very much and i want to come back to some of the points that you made but 1st let us take a closer look at what is going on in eastern ukraine instability in the dun bass region actually goes back 7 years following the russian an expansion of crimea pro russian separatists in the eastern part of the country seized a large swathes of territory fighting there began escalating in february of this

of course russia has been kind of handing out passports to people in eastern ukraine for the last few years but i think it's very unlikely that russia actually wants these escalated tensions to really escalate into a war i think this is more saber rattling and rhetoric directed both at an internal audience ahead of duma elections parliamentary elections here this year and also more importantly i think directed at the new u.s. administration they really want to make it clear i think to the new u.s. president that ukraine as they see it is part of their sphere of influence and that the u.s. and nato should keep its hands off a risky game of course because these tensions in this powder keg could potentially blow up even if neither side really wants it right and terry i want to come back to you in brussels to ask you about another development that we saw today namely u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin saying the u.s. will not be pulling troops out of germany that's something that the former president trumpet threatened instead the u.s. will deploy an additional $500.00 forces i
