before the lensky arrived, the g 7 announced new sanctions against moscow. the us also did an about face and agreed its allies could supply ukraine with f. 16 fighter jets, as well as pilot training, with a commitment not to hit targets inside russia. zelinski hailed the move as a historic decision. during a meeting, he thanked french president emanuel mack home for supporting ukraine's war effort with the new air capability. and we spoke a lot of off about future jessica solutions. and i want to say to you and all of our class simone, these decisions about training nation. these are really very, very important zelinski health face to face meetings with other world leaders, including italy's georgia, maloney, and britain's wishes to neck. ukraine's president also met with the indian prime minister, the renter mowdy, who was a guest at the g 7. it was their 1st face to face and counter since the russian invasion. the lensky hopes to gain modi's support for his peace plan. india has so far, refused to condemn the kremlin frustrating ukraine and its western sup

so lensky is communication and public image. in contrast to the authoritarian style surrounding rushes, president vladimir putin has helped to craner and western sympathies, and pledges have continued support. so lensky has been especially keen to prosper membership in the european union on a visit to brussels ahead of the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion. he said there wouldn't be peace in europe until ukraine was a part of the e u. c moment. and there was nobody we are protecting europe from the regime that has proven that it only has one desire to destroy the freedom of europe and to be an authoritarian master on the continent. not going to name it is for this commitment to defending europe and its values below them. here's the lensky has been chosen for this year. charlemagne prize the used top award for contributions to european unity or you're watching dw news and we are bringing you live coverage of an anticipated pet press conference between ukrainian president flooding their zalinski and all of schultz in berlin. th

so really the sense that so lensky is arrival. he had more of an impact than any of the actual members of the g 7. take to talk to somebody this weekend. and yeah, his message, and this is something he's always done with his communication. he's, we've seen this ever last year and obviously a skilled communicator. he will draw a connection to the place where he is a very strong connection. and of course, you're rushing up to the japanese is extremely important. you know, this is a good place that was the 1st place in the world that was devastated by nuclear bomb. so lensky saying, today on a day where there's been discussion about with the russians, have taken over by moved or not saying that the devastation and bus mood remind timos the devastation that he saw. the shown in the museum here at the peace memorial in hiroshima. so really drawing a direct connection between the experience and the japanese here into russian mountain, the devastation experienced by his ukrainian people right now in the course of this world. and then to

it to me and this lensky. i was in rome. he went to the van to come to was the very 1st time since the war broke out, that he was there. and while in the tele and capital who received assurance of 8 am support from politicians as well as the pope of the dozens of ukrainians living in italy waited for hours in the rain chanting and waving flags hoping to catch a glimpse of their president on his 1st trip to rome, since russia's invasion, more than a year ago, which i mean, we are all still us today. we gather to you in the rain to express a lot of ready to tell president where you will. we also told him, you lost him and wishing peace. i'm only a lawyer. we as you turn in community, easily without being without president wishing the best. and in this time of war, he is doing a good job. who's the president of all of them? and then to get to, you know, the crowd cheered as the motorcade went by on its way to key g palace, the seat of battalion government. their president to lend speech met was prime minister, georgia, and is o

so lensky had been successful in winning over more allies at the g 7 summit. yeah, well, it is too early to say that mariana. but that really was striking, particularly the meeting, said so. lensky had was the wrench for moody within a few hours of his touching down here with the rush mountain sassik day, the woman took the words that said moody had present etzky. so at the beginning of their meeting that they sit around the table, you have the 2 lead his face to face with the 1st time since the school, but again, and the rental mode, the address, the situation, sorry, personally, very emotive. me saying that he saw the boy is not a matter of politics, but a matter of humanity, of human values. i'm saying the pizza re nose up in the pool. anybody else and sang sis uminski into space that india and he us and he would do everything he possibly can to, to try to achieve a resolution to this. and that it was interesting today to see that i'm in the range from o. d with, with place sitting next to the minutes and then speed of the session between the g 7, the partn

what's lensky said today? it? yeah, i mean, and it was striking, i mean, here in the media center in a rush about the chalice, we're really crowded around. the screens is so lensky spoke, and you had the same phenomenon when his plane touched down. so really the sense that the lens keys arrival here had more of an impact than any of the actual members of the g 7. take to talk to somebody this weekend and yeah, his message, and this is something he's always done with his communication. he's. we've seen this over the last year and obviously a skilled communicator. he will draw a connection to the place where he is a very strong connection. and of course you're rushing up for the japanese is extremely important. you know, this is a good place that was the 1st place in the world that was devastated by nuclear bomb. so let's keep saying today on a day, whether it's been discussion about with the russians have taken over by smooth or not. saying that the devastation and bus mood remind timos the devastation that that he

a lot of music. lensky urges that a norm back style tribunal, pre created, to hold russia to account for war crimes committed in ukraine. this is ukraine denies attempting to assassinate russia's president. moscow says and drove the attack on the kremlin, was planned by the united states and carried out by ukraine, also coming up tens of thousands of suit in these plea the fighting at home. we hear the story of one family who risk at all to reach safety in each the hello, i'm terry martin is good to have you with us ukraine's present. lensky has said, there can be no lasting peace with russia without justice for his country. he made the remark sort of surprised visit to the netherlands speaking after visiting the international criminal court in the hague. zalinski stressed, the number of alleged war crimes committed by moscow. he called for the creation of a special tribunal into russia's actions. so as he said that it was vital, the president, putin and those responsible for the war be held accountable or immunity is the key . they opened the door to address. and if you look at any

the hello presence lensky, saying the vac most is still in the hall. it's that so there is nothing less that he does seem to be conceding that ukraine has lost to this eastern city that has been so basically forced eva for the past 10 months. now of course, his comments do come just a day off the ukrainian military officials and government officials here in key denied those reports by the both of those saying that tracking in russian forces would now in control of the city. so it is a bit of a mix picture, but i think when she is president savanski that he does seem to be conceding that ukraine may have lost back most and this. so that would be a terrible law suffice day for you. creating the city symbolizes so much for people here really has become a simple, old ukrainian resistance. old resilience and many ukrainian lives have been lost fighting that wall. and so many people across the country touched on following what has been happening in back much all this time. and there are some who say, look, he should have perhaps with joint it's full say some

so lensky mounts pressure on well the, this on the wall with russia. the us makes a huge fan of 5 the jets functions against the law school tides. also coming up flags, dom agent, northern equity, tens of thousands. i have acquainted us with all right. the struggle with the west of a station in a century, maureen is both the . i am eddie michael junior and you are welcome to the program ukraine's president's beloved master lensky as best waiting. well, deed is that the g 7 summits ended up in easy to you, a few ashima. so that was his bid for more support in the war with ross yeah, seems to be of the results in a change of policy that you as well now allow its allies to supply you train with f . 16 fight digits, types of functions against russia. i've also been a great, a, a lot of mirrors, the lensky trip to japan is the furthest he's been from ukraine since the russian invasion, but the opportunity to meet leaders from the world's wealthiest democracies was too important to miss. shortly after. touching down in hiroshima, lensky said he was looking f

any involvement in the president to lensky use the speech. and i spoke to someone in the room who said it was really powerful. he spoke about the cases of suspected war crimes. and we're talking about tens of thousands of cases. he talked about a suspected cases of rate civilian killings. he talks about kids nothings of children, and he, even off those in the room to take a moment of silence. to commemorate all the victims, no presidents of lensky also comes here, not only to a symbolic locations, but on a symbolic day. because they just remember to stay in the middle of the day when the netherlands reflects and remembers those victims of the 2nd world war. and of course, the lensky is using, drawing on it seems to me those memories to try to evoke uh, the uh, the, what his people are going through today. i'm not so nice as we heard from the prime minister saying that we stand shoulder to shoulder with you. we will stay by your side, you crate. he said, for as long as it takes mentioned, that's prime minister zaleski has held a press conferen

now, he has the support of the g 7 lead his presence and lensky. what else is he looking for at this summit? us? yes, the political support of the g 7 members and strong woods coming to g 7 to release that communicate strong words coming in support of him. but i think he still wants more, more financial support, more military support. he's got some important things here at this meeting. he's got them to come down on what they say, all loopholes in the sanctions. that roster is exposed to sometimes using such countries. he also has got, i think, an important decision decision on f, sixteens the by the administration was discussing for a long time and had divisions on the issue of these us made fight to jets, going to ukraine, present by the saying now that can happen. they're not going to come from the us. we think they can come from a part of the countries of the nato countries that have f sixteens and they would now have no objection from the us to sell them on to ukraine. we think no way the netherlands belgian and denmark of a have 30 fives repl

but the rec ukrainian president followed them is that lensky has none. the less made a stuff to the in jetta to attend the meeting where he intends to discuss energy strategy and a piece formula. the syrian president bush are all a side is also attending the summit side. was welcomed by saudi officials in the main airport in jetta. it is the 1st time in more than a decade that he's being invited to the summit. syria was ostracized. by most art states. following a sobs, brutal response to protests against his route in 2011, and the ensuing civil war that killed some 350000 people. and his return to the 22 men. the group is another signal that serious isolation is ending. in spite of its continuing civil syrian state tv captured the moment special rolla side came in from the cold. i saw the diplomat ton delivers his invitation to rejoin the arrow bleak. a dramatic turning to ryan for the pariah president, accused of butchering his own people. defending the control the sea, the arab league said it was about opening a channel of communication. the mamma, and

people that have come from ukraine to that will be gone, which is also something that the presence of lensky has referred to today. but also previously citing the german people who helped the ukrainians make a home here for some temporary home. most of them, presumably, as you can imagine, would like to go back into the home country, but also for some time makes a pop a home here. so there's this, the so what we know as would welcome culture that really came to life and that we saw 1st in 2015 of course, when the vin chancellor. and i that mack who didn't take quite as long but very swiftly. besides this, a very famous sentence, you know, of your shopping does, will make it will make it for which you and a lot of criticism was very divisive, but to also very memorable german chancellor. now we'll talk sholtes, as you told us earlier, was the, it took more time it to, to make the decisions the necessary decisions to show that the germany supports ukraine together with its partners. i think that was also and still is something very important for the german chancellor, that it's not a germany a

their 2nd day of talks in japan with ukrainian president will and risen lensky expected to join them over the weekend. and a change of policy us presidential volume is now signaling washington with not belong. it's finalized from transferring american made f. 16 fighter jets to frame plains have been a key demand on keys wish list polanski. we'll also have a chance to hold face to face talks with leaders from the global cell. we're also in japan to take part in the g 7 meeting. when the g 7 leaders have agreed on more sanctions, but how make sure that russia cancer combat them? i put the question to our chief international editor, richard walker, and here's what he told me. so yeah, nicole actually circumvention of sanctions is definitely one of the main focuses of the steps coming out to a bigger rush from a summit. we, we've had a announcement, some specific announcements already from the british and the us sites. and the us, for instance, and saying that it's targeting a number of chinese east based companies that it sees is helping the russians essentially buy the back door to ge

and lensky are full support for ukraine, for as long as necessary. and beyond that, i have a more incidents because visit to italy, i'm now joined by journalist. see my go to in rome. see my what else was being said at this joint press conference, what stood out to you. so i have to say what really stood out to me was the way the to lead disagree to each of the prime minister, maloney and zalinski was a very warm greeting when they met at the prime minister's office here in rome. after old miss maloney had travelled to ukraine less than 3 months ago, and the meeting between the 2 of them lost some 17 minutes. but didn't that media conference? we saw president lensky thanking it's lee and italians very much for this support. and also taking in those you create in refugees when, when the war broke out, you said that the russian aggression continues to today. and they clearly have no interest in peace at the moment. he thinks it's in the support as well for us to forcing are you creating a project into the european union as well as thinking usually for

the lensky trip to japan is the furthest he's been from ukraine since the russian invasion. but the opportunity to meet leaders from the world's wealthiest democracies was too important to miss. shortly after, touching down in hiroshima, lensky said he was looking forward to meetings with partners and friends. and that piece and ukraine was getting closer. before zalinski arrived, the g 7 announced new sanctions against moscow. the us also did an about face and agreed its allies, but supply ukraine with f. 16 fighter jets, as well as pilot training. the deal comes with a commitment not to hit targets inside russia. so lensky held it as a historic decision during a meeting with the menu item i call, he's think the french president for supporting ukraine's war effort with the new air capabilities. and we spoke a lot of off about future jazz gulshan. and i want to say to you and all of our class of all these decisions about training nation. these are in there and they were very important. zelinski had face to face meetings with other world leaders, including germany's full life

and what kind of concrete support do you think is a lensky hopes to, to actually get there? well if you want to pick out an example, it was quite a well coming gift, a waiting for for him here. and that is that the u. s. has dropped its resistance when it comes to delivering fighter jets us made fighter jets to ukraine. but they, it's now possible for countries like the netherlands, denmark, but also belgium to potentially deliver those strips. it's still unclear how many and when, but it is clear that from now on ukrainian soldiers will be trained a flying. those threats outside of ukraine and dirty member countries have is often the case or the issue to communicate with an apparently tougher stance on china. can you tell us about that? still when it comes to try not actually everybody's on one page when it comes to the assessment of the of the risk center depend, demik has made quite clear that the dependency on china, whether it's semi conduct as a window, frames is quite too high. and that is why in the community k, there is no talk of the risk and not doing the calculat

equipment and services that could aid it's for gains to print, the printing presses, and the modem is lensky is expected to join the latest in us. and also coming up on the program syrian president shaw saw arrives in jetta to attend the arrogant league summit and being a decade regional isolation for his ration the menu chips and again. and thanks for being with us. leaders of the well, the most powerful democracies have agreed to new sanctions on rusher at the g. 7 summit in japan as a group pledge to prohibit russian access to technology, industrial equipment, and services that could aid it's war against ukraine. ukrainian president of them is the landscape is expected to join the leaders in passing ahead of their official meetings. in hiroshima, the leaders visited the cities peace pock. it's a memorial site to the 10s of thousands of people killed by the 1st atomic bomb, which was dropped by the united states during the final days, as well as what c d w 's chief international editor, richard will k is in her russia. and i asked him, what g 7 leaders hope to achieve with the new measures

we have more to see from a to lensky today during the course of the day. so he's going to make a visit to a piece memorial. so here the site where the media bottom line did in 1945. that of course is very, i'm a very symbolic visit for us. and let's do to make given, did you find has been subjects at least implicit, right to the use of nuclear weapons by apply the message. and plus that we're going to be press conference is from both soleski until the bible age. when the date is gonna be very interesting to see what some s b says and how he sums up the impressions that he's being guessing of probably just notice from the g 7, but also from those leaders from the douglas hatch with assembled to. yeah. so it seems that ukraine has very much dominated the g 7 summit, but we know it was not the only topic being discussed. china was also high. and the agenda, richard, can you tell us about those discussions? yeah, that's right. so. so china, very much a big issue has, is a fairly substantial section of the statements looking at points about china. what you've s

they're selling 9 price, went to a lot of years lensky and ukranian people. and his acceptance speech is a lensky promise to fight against those who would destroy the fabric of europe. namely, a lot of interesting to me. 1000000, you know, blues and we offer to bring this victory, cluster stuff, victory over the one who brought up all this old evo from the pages of the past. not to destroy our future. it would seem, we will say, but all of which all of us see all your dreams of for its kids rush. it has willingly chosen the path of evil, and that's not a slot taking place and mid tide security. so lensky is trip to germany as part of a series of european visits in the getting faster arms deliveries, as well as funds to help rebuild parts of ukraine destroyed during the 15 months long conflict. earlier the landscape was that the german chancellor in berlin were all laugh. schultz greeted his ukrainian counterpart which full military honors. zelinski is visit, comes a day after berlin announced its largest military aid package. yet for cuba worth more than 2700

truth watch now on youtube dw documentary, the business deed of the news lied from berlin. massa lensky center stage at the g. 7 summit in japan, ukraine's precedents ops, the pressure on well beat us over the wall with russia. the us makes a huge hand on 5 subjects on functions against moscow tightened and independence. the guy at the very end from both of cents, had broken half a balance down to the 2nd division as also and the 10 is news coming up later. the i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program ukraine suppressed in blood mass lensky is lobbying well need is that the g 7 summit and the japanese city of hiroshima? so this is bid for more support. and the war with russia is the old and the results and the change of policy, the you as well now allow its allies to supply ukraine with f. 16 fighter jets type of functions against russia. i've also been agreed, a lot of mirrors, the lens keys, trip to japan is the furthest he's been from ukraine since the russian invasion, but the opportunity to meet leaders from the world's wealthiest democracies was too important to

you credits, presidency. lensky will address the gathering in person. and we'd latest off the world's top economies face to face. also coming up with slot again, a century and all the nationally, at least 13 people have been killed and rescued efforts on the way to reach tracts rest plus syrian president bush, all the saw, the rives instead of to attend the arab league summit that ending at decades of regional oscillation for his vision, the, i'm good, how about as well come? the leaders of the world's most powerful democracies are meeting in japan for summit, likely to be dominated by russia's invasion of ukraine. and china is growing global influence. they also expected to announce further sanctions on moscow, ukraine's presidency. lensky is expected to join the leaders in person ahead of their official meetings. in hiroshima, the latest visited the cities peace upon. it's a memorial sites to the 10s of thousands of people killed by the 1st atomic bomb which was dropped by the united states during the final days of world war 2. earlier i spoke to the

but lensky said he is trying to get too many to agree to work. more intensive, coordinating, potentially when it comes to these types of jet coalition. because that is something that is elastic, he says he desperately needs in order to win. this will, which he also stressed. again he hopes to have a reach that goal by the end of the year. now as well, i've started to use the opportunity again to make it clear also to a different audience just why gemini was so adamant in supporting ukraine for as long as it takes all of towards has his eyes very much on the global south on the countries that are reluctant to show that unwavering support saw you train in countries in latin america or, and african agent will, are short said that there are a lot of countries that simply don't quite support ukraine as much as is needed. and what i've tried stress the fact that it is something that is not just an issue of ukraine or of europe. this is about the international piece older. and he said the answers to that light in moscow. moscow has to stop moscow has to

the rise of president lensky. and i think that's also something that we may actually here today in, in and by these different leaders that will be speaking. not only to commemorate the people of ukraine for the best struggle for verified, but also mister savanski as the leader of the country, representing specifically the people of ukraine. again, it's about the values, it's about interest, it's about policies, but it's always about the person himself. and that's why it is really important for gemini, has been important for berlin. and also for on that me says that landscape made this trip to germany. the 1st time he came to germany since the war and ukraine begun a significant, disgusting, many people were actually hoping he would visit soon. because they had seen that misses that ends up being and several other european companies. and they were wondering when he would actually come to germany that has to do with the fact that germany is the 2nd country that has provided the most help to ukraine, off to the unite

so lensky denied recent accusations that he was considering attacking russia just to felicia, when it comes to invasions. do you know when i go somewhere? great. i go there officially agree as president of ukraine's i need a not as an invader. yes. let's get more now with the data we used to political corresponding, you know, how the, who was joining us from our side to the german chancellor. and, you know, of course you were after that press conference which you may take away. well, of course base is the very 1st time that the training presidency. lensky came to germany off to the full scale invasion started in february last year. so this is a visit that had been highly anticipated. did happen kept top secret until the very last minute. and you could almost feel they saw your relief from german government officials when they were able to present their lensky to the valid audience here. so this is very important for germany. it to host the landscape here because of close to happened, frictions in the past, as there was criticism coming out. if you've trained that germany had been to r

just as awards have any meaningful she lensky, other than nice to have. it is important. it does have a meaning to him. it actually strengthens the idea that he's not fighting this alone, that he can count on european support when it comes to fighting against what he has described as the aggressor. so the fact that russia invaded ukraine, he has actually asked for help on various occasions, not only economic help, a political support, but also military support. again, he refer to that today when he met german leaders. and it's important to stress that that support was actually today, very evident because it comes just as drummond leaders announced that they are helping ukraine of their giving ukraine. another very big package of military aid was 2700000000 euros. it's being described as the biggest package yet to come from germany. so for ukraine, i mean, particular for the presidency. lensky essentially means that he can count on that support from your it hasn't always been easy. monica, it was just about to say because he's actually being accompanied too often in order

is the one on one with the most important man for president's lensky. he's a little, be all these people, but the one he needs to get, keep getting more support from is the one who's given the most important in any of that's the most powerful military country. on us, he sits down with president biden, and they will be having a meeting later on this afternoon here in her russian with our on times and away from ukraine. g suddenly dissolved, somebody should what could be construed, i guess, as a, as in the veil, threat to china or choosing it of using economic collection to body several countries. those comments have serious think i'm good. the chinese, i'm the of the yeah, facing, is known as a tool happy. the g 7 in the statement made it clear they were trying to balance what they said. they said they still want to do trade with china. john was the 2nd most important country economically in the world, and they didn't want to restrict the china is wise in china's development each i know mclean box. they believe some of the things that china is doing wron

it was their 1st in person encounter since the russian invasion lensky hopes to gain moti support for his peace plan. india has so far refused to condemn the kremlin frustrating ukraine and its western supporters. charles cobb chan, easy senior fellow of the council on foreign relations in washington dc. i asked him where the f 16 school changed the costs of the war as i don't think it's a game changer. in part because of the timeline, it takes many months to train ukrainians on f. 16 fighters. they haven't found these kinds of advanced western systems before. the pentagon said a month ago that it might take as long as 18 months. perhaps it could be done work quickly, but clearly these are not aircraft. they're going to be in the fight in this coming offensive one that we expect to be launched sometime in the next few weeks. so my best guess is the provision of these aircraft is really about the long term capability of ukraine and its ability to deter russia looking forward. meanwhile, russia is wanting that supplying the fights a jets car is huge versus showed that the genuine concer

and how much do you think the lensky can? how much some additional support can zaleski drum up during this visit while he has already drum up drummed up a significant support during this visit on the visit is only on the way back to many a head of the visitor announced a very big military package and that was 2700000000 euros and describe is the biggest military package yet a germany has offered ukraine and this could certainly help you created when it comes to this spring counter offensive or offensive as you, as you mentioned the question, there is how quickly those deliveries would reach the crate because this has been an issue in the past, off the germany announces or has announced such and deliveries. it has taken some time before those deliveries actually get to ukraine. so probably part of the discussion is also in the job on times already as we speak, focusing specifically on those deliveries and how quickly they could get to a to ukraine. there are many issues at stake. that's the reason why probably that those image

today, the lensky is here to hold. another round of talks with us presidential vibrant and abundance. levi logic shots fired 31 in munich, handing don't want the chance to win the titles with one game to go. the really, it's good to have you with us. the russian defense ministry says that its troops have fully capture the eastern ukrainian city of buck moved, and president vladimir putin has congratulated them on the victory. this comes after the head of russia's wagner mercenary group. we have gained pre goes and claim that his forces had liberated the former psalm mining town. your friends military was quick to deny the ruined city of fallen. cave says its soldiers are still defending their positions and heavy fighting is ongoing or forced upon it unless he has building on cave explains what we should make of rushes claims. as always, it's impossible to verify these contradicting claims. but what we can say is that in the last 2 days, keith was only controlling a very, very small part of the town once more ads. so it

so lensky has been meeting western leaders to both to support for his country. on sunday evening. he held tolts with french president in manuel cohen paris, smoke home fledged new tents. and um, it's cause to you find the need is also don't vehicles, fresh sanctions on russia. i don't know from paris by sonia finally caught. sonya florida is a landscape strip to paris was only announced when he was already in berlin. that was uh for security reasons or was it actually a last minute invite what do you think this meeting of the trip a by so let's get to baptist associate last minute invite. we don't know for sure with the baptist for security reasons, but i think we can safely see that there's usually the case with trips involving those ukrainian placements of you just mentioned that he's now with a surprise visit to the u. k. to me. um, you know, a private historically, so not, not from cs to be dispatched, appealing to germany, to pick up some in ski alternate with german trance. but one of shaun's audio yesterday. and you don't head up this meeting the in these a said that this d

the lensky accepted with one goal more money and more weapons. he got both, including his long, sought desire for fighter jets. in an about face, the us has now said it will allow western allies to supply keys with advanced aircraft, including american made f sixteens as well as pilot training. all right, mister president. what the pc printer defending for cubic feet is a matter for the entire world or off what your thoughts as you crow together with in charge you 7, we have increased by i promised that message for ukraine was also aimed at russia. the kremlin was quick to denounce the summit as a propaganda show. just hours up the summit, wrapped up rushes and bus or to the united states, said the transfer of f. 16 fighter jets to ukraine would raise the question of natives involvement in the conflict. as the w, as richard walker, in hiroshima, what he makes of those comments. oh yeah. well terry, i mean the fact that it has taken such a long time for the americans to come around to the idea of providing f sixteens. and we just think about the f

so lensky has now arrived in hiroshi. my just how significant is the ukrainian leaders appearance in person at the g 7 summit and what is the hoping to achieve? yeah, well it's certainly very significant marietta, i mean, he's just coming from the arab league. of course, we saw him on the eve of this visit to, to japan. so reaching out to countries that have not necessarily being very clearly on the ukraine side in this war sofa. and now coming to japan, a to meet the g 7, which is certainly a, you know, a grouping. this being among the strongest supporters for ukraine during the course of this war so far. but also equally or even more importantly, to meet some of the partner countries that are present here in japan. for this summit, i'm thinking of new venture emoji the prime minister of india, or the president of brazil, president lula. and both of those countries have had much more kind of the most unusual positions lula has shown some sympathy towards the russian position. and direct promoting has been studiously tryi

entry deep sea, greed starts june 8th on dw, the business dw news at live from berlin. beloved massa lensky. center stage. at the g 7 summit in japan, ukraine's precedence ops the price on well need us to buy the war with russia. us makes a huge hand on 5 subjects and sanctions against moscow tights and also coming up flags rob agent, northern entity, tens of thousands. i've always had started the struggle with the where's the best station in a century maureen, just for passed on, greece had spell the poles with both as skeptical the main policies can solve the icon. nomic was we find out what's influenced and people's choices. the i d, mike i junior and you a welcome to the program. your greens presidents related residency is all being well need is that the g 7 summit in the japanese city of hiroshima. so that skis bid for more support for the war with russia is paying the evidence in a change of policy that us will allow its allies to supply ukraine without succeeding 5 digits, type out functions against russia. i've also been agreed lot in the years a on skis, trip to japan is the furthe

well, sitting alongside president biden's ultimate as lensky was asked about russia's announcement that it's taking control of the ukrainian city of fox sports. you know, when you have 2 tons of that, there is nothing they destroy the is, i know this is this tragedy, but for, for today a moment is only in our cars. there's nothing on this base. so just draw the directions. but they came to us that goes tested by them, saying that he would stand behind the chief against the fights with russia will rob mcbride joins us now from hiroshima. rob the meeting has been dominated really by presidents lensky visits and his arrival that and the impact can be seen pumps and the results he wants to see in terms of liberating his country. and he needs that g 7 help doesn't take that. sorry, the automated that lensky is really be working the room ever since he's playing touch down here like sat today with at various meetings big on some. ready very important bilaterals as we saw, so with joe biden saying that america has a ukraine's back in this a but also have meeting with the g 7 a. the g 7 the them

it's still been dated by your presence lensky is visit. he seems to be leaving hiroshima and japan with some pretty tons of bull results. so yeah, i mean the, as well as the package that has been announced by the united states that everybody is actually the so t h as package that has been announced by uh, by the us since this will began, as you mentioned there, it was $375000000.00. it's more munition more artillery pieces. i also includes training for i 16 pilots. it doesn't include the f. 16 jets itself. but we know that i said that the latest started to gather here at that was already cleared of us. it already cleared the way full of the allies and all the nato members who have asked 16 to our upgrading to west $35.00 to give those to ukraine so they will be very welcomed a but to it. that includes also the supports for those of 16 at fighters, but i think more importantly perhaps was uh they have the re, if um i the commitment from the g 7, the g 7 that joe biden says has never been more united at the moment. we heard that from a meeti

what will i shoulds told presidents and lensky that did you have any support for? ukraine is unwavering. he has the chancellor in his own wits shop is off cuz i've said many times it's kind of repeated here today is that we will support you as long as needed cuz i'm not doing that joint press conference. the ukrainian president was also asked about his spring offensive plan since the landscape denied recent accusations, but he was considering attacking russia. we met up with a murder case as far as russian territory is concerned. we are not attacking russian territory. when we are liberating our legitimate territories. we have neither the time nor the strength to do that. and we have no weapons left with which to do that. we are preparing a counter attack to liberate the legitimately occupied territories, according to our constitutions, within the framework of our legitimate borders, which are recognized worldwide. if so, cdw is chief political correspondent, janina hossa, gave me her takeaways from today's events in berlin. well, of course, this is the very 1st ti

i did want to ask you about how all of this looks like as well as lensky is visiting. now, one major ally off to another in western europe with gold rushes lot. i'm a person who is essentially a political prya subject to interest, word by the international criminal court. what do you think the russian president is thinking when he sees the kind of welcomes zalinski is, is guessing here in western europe a while on the one handwriting put in his word because the, the, you know, the criminal court are documented, you know, creates difficulties for him to move around and we know that was his case with south africa. you know, it's not to be able to, he can go or not. whereas the is key of course is received and i'm a very one coming year sort of in the went into. so for western was a but i think for, for rush at this moment this is which is not really watery. i think what he's really worried now is to make sure that he gets the necessary support in turn. i me and also among his key online, you know, to help him succeed in the ukraine. i'm. i'm for him now. he's uh, sort of

and they don't let the president lensky anywhere near that. i think some of this is happening now because it is about trying to disrupt the rushes, logistics ahead of ukraine, expected counter offensive. but it's also about the conflict political war and about showing that for all its resources for all its anti aircraft, anti drug systems. russia is very vulnerable and not able to defend its population in the way that the russian state propaganda suggests. when talking to its own population, palka, reger talk us through then what russia is saying happened well, kremlin spokesperson domestic discourse called it a planned terrorist attack with the aim to take vladimir putin life. but according to him, vladimir putin was not present in the kremlin, but worked from navarre guide you over. the russian investigative committee is now likely to lounge an investigation on terrorism. and of course, the kremlin, blamed to crane and to you for this attack. according to their kremlin st press statement, quote, the russian side reserves the right to retalia

we've had the meeting between the g 7 and present lensky. now the wider grouping. prime minister casita is going that meeting to order. i'm going you, we're not going to get pictures this for much longer, because we tell we'll see the very stops at the meeting and then they go into a closed closed section. but we all are seeing the pictures of the meeting now. and the why the grouping here, those that have been invited by the g 7, very important for presidency lensky because they include countries that are not in the western calculation. yes, australia is one of the invited countries. but most importantly, countries like brazil, india, and indonesia also in the grouping of people attending a. we have a south korea vietnam at the cook islands in tomorrow. so you might wonder about those 2, but one is the current share with the african union. and the other is the chair of the pacific guide and states for presidents the landscape. these trying to persuade all of these countries to do more for ukraine. some countries like india, i think some exa
