olaf scholz to transfer one or another weapon to ukraine.derstand why, as of now, olaf scholz does not have such a desire. well , of course he explains it, he says that they can fly to moscow, but maybe, well , if, maybe it's fear, but maybe there are some other reasons. well, unfortunately, germany is known, the german government is known for finding many reasons why those other weapons cannot be transferred, because of what, and... germany's reputation has suffered in recent years, although germany, i would like to remind you, is the second largest supplier of arms to ukraine, and of course we are grateful to them for that, er, i would say that here it is a certain complex of reasons, first of all, it is the fear of escalation , it's real, and uh, and and and for germany it 's actually more important, this argument is more important than for other countries, they fear the involvement of their country, which... a man's war, they fear more than france and britain, which , who possess nuclear weapons, germany does not have its own nuclear wea

the other thing i would say is that i assured chancellor olaf scholz that our goal in eliminating thewhile keeping the population locked in place. in fact, we will do the very opposite, we will enable them to leave because of our consideration for reducing and minimising civilian casualties which has guided us and will continue to guide us in the future. thank you, chancellor, and thank you, all. thank you very much. those pictures coming into is from jerusalem. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and the german chancellor, olaf scholz, shaking hands at the end of that press conference and it is just past six in the afternoon injerusalem. i willjust rattle through what the two men had to say, fairly succinct from benjamin netanyahu who said the fight against hamas continues and this is an organisation willing to use people as human shields and they want to eliminate the state of israel. he also said israel is doing its best to continue to deliver aid to gaza but the distribution of aid is itself a problem because hamas interrupts those deliveries. he also said he met with

place outside our country this week, the weimar triangle, and the meeting between emmanuel macron, olaf scholz and donald trump. tuska in order to essentially adjust the clocks in relation to and position as far as she is consolidated in terms of aid to our country. well, i don't know, it's hard to say how practical this meeting ended, i 'm not at all sure that each of the leaders could assure something and to convince his counterpart in these conversations, but one way or another, let's hope that... the defense forces of ukraine get the appropriate tools in their hands in order to have something to defend against the russians, after all, this is the most important thing now, of course, because this is, in principle, a question related to the support of ukraine, and to what extent we will be able to survive this year without any cataclysms on the front line, this is, in principle , the main thing that we are trying to strive for, valeriy chaly, ugh, diplomat, former ambassador ukraine, the united states... we will now be in touch and we will talk about it with him, because now it is absolutely

germany's leader, olaf scholz, warns israel's prime minister about the �*terribly high costs' of thear in gaza. we cannot stand by and watch palestinians risk starvation. that's not us. that is not what we stand for together. hello, i'm lukwesa burak. in the last hour president putin has claimed a fifth term in what was an inevitable election landslide. exit polls say he had a record 88 % of the vote. speaking at his campaign headquarters, president vladimir putin said his win will allow russia to become stronger and more effective. he thanked the citizens who went to the polling stations, expressing gratitude in particular to those whom he called warriors on the line of contact, referring to the front line of the war in ukraine. translation: in this connection i would like to _ translation: in this connection i would like to thank— translation: in this connection i would like to thank first _ translation: in this connection i would like to thank first of - translation: in this connection i would like to thank first of all, - would like to thank first of all, citizens of the russia,

german chancellor olaf scholz said this in an interview with the zeit podcast.at the same time , he compared the demands for the supply of tauru missiles from kyiv with a child's test of courage, when you can break both legs by jumping from a height. let's hear olaf scholz in direct speech. there are people who behave very carelessly, and we are familiar with such people from childhood, they are those who shout to someone who climbed to the top of a tree, let's jump, but i i believe that this way you can break your legs faster, and therefore it will be right to just go down, it is enough that you know how to climb, well, that's it, he always knows how to answer such questions, well , taurus long-range missiles, unfortunately.. . in the short term we will definitely not see, but whether we will see such french troops or any other european troops on the territory of ukraine, considering the statement of the french president emmanuel macron, which he made a few weeks ago, about it now people's deputy of ukraine, president of the committee on migration and refugees

in berlin, macron met with chancellor olaf scholz and polish prime minister donald tusk. they gathered to discuss support for ukraine. let me remind you that germany is the largest supplier of weapons to the armed forces of ukraine in europe. however, the day before donald tusk said that poland, germany and france should mobilize all to help ukraine europe, and wrote in his twitter less words, more weapons. what is known about from this. of course, the meetings of these leaders take place behind closed doors, so we can only guess what they are discussing, but it is quite clear that the situation in ukraine is being discussed at this unscheduled emergency meeting. recently , the relationship between the president of france, emmanuel macron, and the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz, has been under particularly close attention, as there are ambiguous reports coming from both countries. messages regarding support for ukraine. macron's rhetoric is becoming daedalus is sharper. recently, he made several statements that surprised many. for example, when he said that he does no

we talk about the consequences of this scandal and whether it will change the opinion of olaf scholz about the transfer of these long-range missiles to ukraine. write in the comments under this video where you are watching us, how you and that. what topics do you think are important to discuss this morning. and we begin ether. the search and rescue operation at the place where the drone was hit in odesa was completed. the bodies of 12 people, five of them children, were found from under the rubble of the building. the odesa regional military administration announced the names of the dead children. they are four-month-old timofey, seven-month-old lisa, three-month-old mark, eight-year-old zlata and nine-year-old serhiy. so the day before, people carried all day to the place of the tragedy. and toys let me remind you that on the night of march 2, the russian military shelled odesa with eight mortars. seven of them managed to be shot down, so they say in ok pivden, but one hit nine-story residential building. the head of the joint press center of the southern defense forces, natali huma

german chancellor olaf scholz frankly admitted why he does not want to give long-range taurus missilesraine. during a meeting with the residents of dresden the day before , the bundeschancellor said that to ensure control over the use of these missiles , it would be necessary to send bundeswehr servicemen to ukraine, however, he adds. the head of the german government is excluded and here's his short quote: in our case it would mean that we have to participate in this war, i think it's impossible, that's the end of olaf scholz's quote, well , let's listen to another motivation of the bundeschancellor in his direct speech. the hymars missile launcher is not the most powerful or long-range weapon, but it can do more than the taurus, which... flies up to 500 km. in addition, if taurus is used incorrectly, it can achieve a specific goal somewhere in moscow. well , this is the motivation: russians can go to kyiv they can shoot whatever they want in kharkov, they can fly to lviv, they can fly to transcarpathia, and they can fly to moscow, and valery, the ambassador of ukraine to the united s

let's hear olaf scholz in direct speech. there are people who behave very careless, and we have beenamiliar with such people since childhood, they are those who shout to someone who has climbed to the top of a tree, let's jump, but i think that this way you can break your legs faster, and therefore it will be right to just go down, that's enough , that you know how to climb, well, he always knows how to answer such questions, well , unfortunately , we will not see long-range taurus missiles in the near future, but will we see such french troops or some other troops european on territory of ukraine, taking into account the statement of the french president emmanuel macron, which he made a few weeks ago, about this , the people's deputy of ukraine, the president of the committee on migration and refugees of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe , oleksiy honcharenko, is joining us live. mr. oleksiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine. congratulations to the heroes glory! mr. oleksiy, well today around noon i first read your post on facebook, then i watched your video on yo

"german chancellor olaf scholz said that british soldiers are helping ukraine launch stormshadow missilesfight against the russians. this statement by scholz caused criticism. it was called a gift to russian propagandists. a big fuss arose after german chancellor olaf scholz said that british soldiers were helping the ukrainian armed forces launch long-range storm shadow missiles. some even accused the head of the german government of drinking abuse of secret intelligence. as , for example, the former head of the defense committee of the british parliament, tobias ellwood, claims, with such statements scholz only wants to divert attention from himself, since he himself does not yet want to transfer the mute to kiev. long-range taurus missiles criticized scholz in germany, in particular, the representative of the opposition party of the christian democratic union on foreign policy, norbert rötgen, called scholz’s statements that allegedly not only british, but also french soldiers participate in the launch of stormshadow missiles from the territory of ukraine. scholz was wrong and acted ir

you mentioned olaf scholz and the bundestag's decision on long-range taurus missiles, but at the samee , the minister of defense of the federal republic of germany, boris pistorius, says that long-range missiles will not be decisive for the conflict in ukraine, and germany is not going to cross that line, and it seems that pistoris, as well as scholz, are pushed to such a position by the eyes of the russians. by us intercepted conversations of the german military discussing the possible impact of taurus missiles on the crimean bridgehead. this story, a spy story with intercepted conversations, notes on the position of germany and how much will they hold back in handing us the tauruses? it would be surprising if this story influenced the position of germany, rather it influenced the dialogue between the allies to ensure the secrecy of information, that is, the possibilities for russian, intelligence agencies and others to remove this information, this is the main thing. what happened after this downpour there conversations, and the second point, which is very positive , that they are t

olaf scholz will not lag behind in this regard either, and we do receive his leadership decision to provide ukraine with taurus missiles. the bundestag accepted such a proposal, the military, as i understand it, also do not see such drastic counter-responses there, so the question of the chancellor of germany is behind him, and it should not be the traditional competition between the historical and france, germany, in principle continues somewhere, but they are together allies in the eu and in nato, but this is the competition to really achieve leadership in security in europe, because the russian war against ukraine is not only about ukraine, unfortunately, it is happening here , but this is an ultimatum to europe, an ultimatum to nato. and the last thing, why is this happening, the euro-atlantic competition, also don't forget that france at one time,... somewhere there, got out of some of nato's military instruments, tried to be one of the active founders of the western european union, there was such an organization that had to, well, essentially become an alternative to nato on the europ

what exactly did olaf scholz say after the meeting with macron and tusk at the meeting held in berlin. let's listen. it is clear that we support ukraine, and it is also clear that we ourselves are not at war with russia. our common goal is to ensure effective protection of ukraine against russian aggression. we will use surplus profits from russian assets that are...frozen in europe to finance the purchase of weapons for ukraine. a crystal-clear signal is received in moscow. the russian president should know that our support for ukraine will not stop. well, i wish it would scholz spoke not only about the frozen assets, but also that the frozen assets could be used for the purchase of long-range taurus missiles, which should come to ukraine. that is why, in your opinion, mr. valentine, scholz, despite all the rhetoric. enough of such an aggressive , i would say, or macron's leadership rhetoric, that still, well, every time they make excuses that they cannot give us these taurus missiles, there was a vote in budnystaz yesterday, they failed this vote, the germans say that we we can't do

you mentioned olaf scholz and the decision of the bundestag regarding taurus long-range missiles, butme time the minister of defense of the federal republic of germany, boris pistorius, says that ... will not be decisive for the conflict in ukraine, and germany is not going to move this line, and it seems that this position of pistorius, as well as scholz, is being pushed by the russians, the intercepted conversations of the german military, who are discussing a possible strike by taurus missiles on the crimean bridge, or whether this is influenced by this story of espionage and... the story of the intercepted conversations, notes on germany's position and how much will they restrain themselves in handing us over to tavrus? it would be surprising if this story influenced germany's position, rather it influenced the dialogue between the allies to ensure the regime of secrecy information, i.e. and the possibilities for the russians , agents and others to capture this information, this is the main thing that happened after there from... this conversation, and the second point, which is v

but the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz, finally came to his senses and explained, or maybe even moreconfused why he does not want to give long-range taurus missiles to ukraine, because for their use, both on the territory of ukraine and outside its borders, it will be necessary to use servicemen of the bundeswehr, - says mr. scholz, the head of the german government , said this during a speech in the bundestag, while he added, quote: this is a line that i, as the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, cannot cross, so i accepted it. decision and explained his position, while olaf scholz explained even more that the participation of german servicemen in the staurus case is necessary to determine where to aim, that is, from this i personally get the impression that even ukrainian intelligence officers who fight in the armed forces of ukraine , those who, at least according to olaf scholz, which mastered the american patriot. who have mastered uh f-16 planes, they won't be able to figure out how to use a scholz missile, well, okay, but one more thing, on friday there will be a m

, and olaf scholz tried to convince emmanuel macron to be more restrained in his statements about the nato contingent in ukraine, well, okay, french troops in ukraine. donald tusk's place, given ukraine's recent difficult relations. and poland, and certainly after that his visit to the united states. well, you know, the statements that are coming, but yesterday, the un security council was about this, the so-called russian elections, or the harsh assessment of the elections on the territory of ukraine, as another act occupying troops of the illegal, such statements are very harsh, and very clearly stated in unison in washington, thank you. the same donald tusk clearly stated the position and regarding the actions and the speaker johnson, it all looks normal, but i am looking at the specifics now. actions, regarding, we have bilateral issues, if we talk about poland, then donald tusk announced that there will be a bilateral, serious meeting at the end of march, not even the 20th, where the issues will be finally resolved, well, to put it briefly, blocking the border, and i think that t

but the chancellor germany's olaf scholz finally explained, or perhaps confused even more, why he does not want to give long-range taurus missiles to ukraine. because for their use, both on the territory of ukraine and outside its borders, it will be necessary to use servicemen of the bundessphere, - says mr. scholz. the head of the german government said this during a speech in the bundestag, at the same time he added, quote: this is a line that i, as chancellor of the federal republic of germany, cannot cross, so i made a decision and explained my position, while olaf scholz also further explained that in the case of... german servicemen, staurus is needed to determine where to aim, well, that is, from this i personally get the impression that even ukrainian intelligence officers who fight in the armed forces of ukraine, those who, well, at least it is opinion of olaf scholz , who mastered the american patriot, who mastered the f-16 jets, they will not be able to ... figure out how to use the scholz missile, well, okay, but one more thing, on friday there will be a meeting of the lea

has identified germany as the weakest link in the north atlantic alliance. and german chancellor olaf scholzs a useful idiot, they may be right, considering what scholz and his party take a position on this issue. scholz once again stated that he is not going to provide long-range missiles for fear that the ukrainian armed forces will try to attack the crimean bridge with them. and now to german deputies such a solution seems adequate, because in the event of a terrorist attack , the public conversation between the officers will cease to be just one of the possible scenarios. meanwhile, the american press doubts that the taurus. at least some influence on the position of the ukrainian troops. the new york times notes that even american f-16 fighters are unlikely to give a military advantage in the ssu. the head of the singapore ministry of defense previously reported that washington is using other f-35 fighters to search for air defense systems of russian troops. the pentagon denied this information, and the white house habitually accused russia of causing discord among its allies due to inf

olaf scholz expressed concern about the civilians who were in rafa and the potential of serious harmces that before any ground operation began in rafah they would try and move civilians out of the way. i should chancellor olaf scholz that in eliminating the remaining terrorist battalions in rafah goes hand—in—hand with enabling the civilian population to leave he won. it is not something we will do well keeping the population locked in place. in fact, we will do the very opposite. we will enable them to leave because our consideration for reducing and minimising civilian casualties has guided us and will continue to guide us in the future. benjamin guide us in the future. ben'amin netanyahu. i guide us in the future. ben'amin netanyahu. one * guide us in the future. ben'amin netanyahu. one thing h guide us in the future. ben'amin netanyahu. one thing to h guide us in the future. benjamin netanyahu. one thing to note i guide us in the future. benjamin i netanyahu. one thing to note this morning is an israeli negotiating team are travelling to the qatari capital doha are to continue ta

yes, indeed, olaf scholz answers over and over again: no, to calls to finally give cruise missiles topeople's minds is precisely the argument that olaf scholz made last week during the civil forum in dressdon, briefly and clearly: with the taurus it is possible to strike moscow, that is, the kremlin, the russian leadership, and so on. absolutely unacceptable. by the way, this was confirmed by the bundesfer generals, for example, former adviser angela merkel on military affairs, erich fad. and it seems to me that many people have become firmly aware of this. therefore, the majority of respondents simply do not want anything like that. this is a crossing of any borders; everyone knows that what’s next is nuclear war. in this regard, the attitude of the germans is clear. and i would say that in germany western war propaganda was generally defeated. this is certainly encouraging, but never say never, could schultz change his mind under some circumstances? unfortunately, yes, one of the sdp figures in the bundestag, who is involved in on foreign policy issues, nils schmidt has already said

in turn , olaf scholz believes that critics of his position perceive prudence as uncertainty in theirgermany budgeted more than 7 billion euros this year , and then such debates begin. i think this has a lot to do with the way discussions about security and foreign policy are being conducted. €5 billion peace fund to pay for decided to expand european transfers and transfers of weapons to ukraine, while no consensus was reached on the use of proceeds from frozen russian assets. however, today the head of the alliance’s foreign policy department, jose. stated that he plans to propose to the leaders of the alliance countries to use 90% of frozen russian assets for the purchase of new weapons for ukraine, another 10% should be sent, in his opinion , to a special fund that will support the military industry for ukraine, he plans to voice these proposals at the next summit, let me remind you that the leaders of the eu countries will meet in brussels on thursday friday this week, colleagues, regina, thank you for the detailed story, tomorrow. the contact group on ukraine at ramstein air bas

olaf scholz may find himself in a very vulnerable position in the eyes of his more militant neighborsl antonov, anastasia barkov. andrey putra, vesti berlin, germany. the hall is sold out, everyone in one impulse clapping to the beat of the music and diligently spelling out the words. a video filmed in one of the ukrainian schools, which is an excellent illustration of what the kiev regime is preparing young people for, since with such sincere joy and inspiration the children sing a song dedicated to the ideologist of the extremist upa stepan bandera. the trend of bandarization of schoolchildren, in itself, of course, is not new, but the propaganda about the readiness to fight for ukraine with muscovites in the current realities is heard from children’s lips ominously. it becomes clear that the independent authorities simply do not leave young people any choice, and those who are now taught to glorify the terrorist with stomping and slapping will inevitably find themselves in... according to internal data from border guards , almost 500 draft dodgers tried to escape from ukraine in si

german chancellor olaf scholz broke his silence and spoke out about the recording of conversations of high-ranking german military officials, discussed the idea of ​​launching a missile strike on the crimean bridge. while in rome, scholz said that he had given instructions to thoroughly look into everything. this is a very serious issue, so it needs to be done very carefully, very intensely. to quickly clarify, according to information from the bilt publication, as soon as the scandalous recording was published, germany tried to block its distribution on social networks, but a few hours after the chancellor’s brief statement, the authenticity of the recorded conversation was officially confirmed by the country’s ministry of defense. by our assessment is that the conversation about the air force was intercepted, whether changes were made to the recorded or written version that is circulating on social networks, we cannot be sure at this time... as a result of this leak, scholz found himself in the crossfire. previously, he claimed that he did not intend to send long-range missiles to u

is necessary, no, no, that it is necessary to cross red lines, that there are no such red lines, olaf scholz says that it is necessary to help ukraine, but does not provide taurus, the united states of america they are talking about the need to restore the financing of ukraine, what is holding them back, why them? for the past three or four months, they have not helped ukraine, but only talked about it. they are restrained on the one hand by the political situation within their countries, on the other hand by the fact that they do not want to imagine a world without russia. they do not want to tell themselves that the russian empire is an empire that must collapse. and on the ukrainian side, there should be more active efforts aimed at showing. that the russian empire will surely collapse and we, ukrainians, will play a march at the funeral of the russian empire. this should be a fairly obvious point, we should work with it as actively as possible. and accordingly, this is what is currently the task of our foreign policy. we cannot afford to simply look at how this or that is simply moved ba

will not... approve such a year, which means that germany and france, germany and poland, that is, olaf scholz donald tusk, well, i am talking about the participants of today's meeting of the weimar triangle in the first place, they most likely will not go to this, while emmanuel macron , who is in his second presidential term, and has a certain space to respond to it. mr. yevgeny, macron actually started this big discussion, whether these foreign troops will be on the territory of ukraine or not, he spoke with hints, in some conversations with the leaders of the political forces of france, in interviews with tf-1 and france-2 he stated that the war in ukraine there is existential for europe and for france, but ruled out the possibility that... troops would attack russia. let's hear what macron said. we will never be on the offensive. we will never take the initiative. france is a force for peace, but today, in order to have peace in ukraine, we must not be weak. therefore, we must soberly look at the situation and say with determination, will and courage that we are ready to invest resources

olaf scholz has a tendency to speak loudly, but without much consequence. then as actions macron hasn't always lived up to his rhetoric in the past either, so we'll have to wait and see if his recent statements translate into concrete action? as for britain... despite its lack of military resources, it still has significant financial capabilities. foreign secretary cameron recently visited germany to negotiate the purchase of long- range missiles. we see that britain remains active and committed to playing a leading role in current efforts, but the future remains uncertain. despite a lot of talk, no significant positive action that would affect the front line. except for the purchase of the czech republic. and ammunition, so at the moment we are in a period of uncertainty, well, mr. colonel, do you personally believe that, for example, president macron can sign this or that decree, maybe not only president macron, maybe even some other european leaders, maybe great britain will agree, yes, when we are seriously talking about a foreign contingent that would

you mentioned olaf scholz and the bundestag's decision on long-range taurus missiles, but at the samee the minister of defense of the federal republic of germany, boris pistorius, says that long-range missiles will not be decisive for the conflict in ukraine, and germany is not going to cross that line, and it seems that pistorius and scholz are being pushed to such a position these are the intercepted conversations of the german military thrown out by the russians discussing a possible taurus missile attack on the crimean bridge, or does this story, a spy story with intercepted conversations, with notes on germany's position and how much they will restrain themselves in handing over taurus missiles to us? it would be strange if this one. the story influenced the position of germany, rather it influenced the dialogue between the allies to ensure the secrecy of information, that is, the possibilities of russian intelligence. and others to remove this information, this is the main thing happened after there was a shower of this conversation, and the second point, which is very positive,

he spoke alongside german chancellor olaf scholz who is in the middle east and has re—stated his oppositiond leaders. our correspondent mark lowen has more, from jerusalem. well, germany's chancellor, olaf scholz, is keeping the pressure up on benjamin netanyahu over more humanitarian aid getting into gaza, but also over israel's plans to send its military into rafah in southern gaza, where about 1.4 million gazans are sheltering, more than half of the entire population of the gaza strip. israel seems determined to push into rafah, the prime minister saying earlier in the day that israel is determined to push on to total victory, as he says it, which means an operation in rafah to crush hamas and get the israeli hostages back. but that has met with international criticism, not least from the us. president biden said a week ago that that would cross a red line as far as his administration is concerned. and a couple of days ago, the senate majority leader in the us, in effect, called for benjamin netanyahu's replacement, calling him an obstacle to peace. but in vintage netanyahu style, he is

however, the last word should still rest with the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz. cannot be allowed to use the delay in aid to ukraine to advance on the front, said minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba during negotiations with us secretary of state anthony blinken. he emphasized the importance of continuing both american and international support for ukraine, including air defense and artillery ammunition. do not completely reject the idea. french president emmanuel macron about sending western troops to ukraine, said the minister of foreign affairs of finland, elina valtonin. in her opinion, no one knows how serious the situation at the front will be, therefore european countries, together with the usa, should not be too categorical. at the same time , the minister added that finland does not yet plan to send its troops to ukraine. hospital on wheels. ukraine created special an evacuation train for transporting wounded defenders. inside, the carriages are equipped with medical equipment of a new generation, which allows not only to transport soldiers, but als

question... taking the lead is a key story, it is not for nothing that the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz does not issue tauruses to ukraine, so we understand that great britain proposed a so-called circular scheme: germany supplies taurus to great britain, great britain will supply them to ukraine, but we see that scholz is not ready even for this, and most likely, he received very specific signals from the kremlin. this issue is quite complex as it involves different perspectives depending on whether we are talking about the european union or europe as a whole, it is important to note that britain is not part of the european union. well, that requires a different mindset. in many ways the uk is not shy to take on the role of leader. let's get this straight. we have qualified officers, commanders, the ability to create headquarters and conduct military operations. we have demonstrated this ability before and within the framework of nato. considering the question of the involvement of great britain in military activities, it is important to recognize that this actually means the involveme

this means that germany and france, germany and poland, that is, olaf scholz and donald. well, i am talkingut the participants of today's meeting of the weimar triangle, first of all, they most likely will not go to it , while emmanuel macron, who is in the second presidential term, and has a certain space to react, to this, mr. yevgeny, macron actually this big discussion started whether these troops will be foreign. on the territory of ukraine or not, he was speaking with some kind of hints there, in conversations with leaders of french political forces, in interviews with tf-1 and france 2 , he stated that the war in ukraine is existential for europe and for france, but ruled out the possibility that french troops would attack russia. let's hear what macron said. we will never be on the offensive, we will never take the initiative. with the will and courage to say that we are ready to invest resources to achieve our goal, which is that russia does not win. well, that is, macron said that the offensive against russia will not be led by france, but i understand that he will still does not

and, olaf scholz, emmanuel macron and donald tusk meet in berlin as part of the weimar triangle. germany, france and poland, which are the largest countries in europe, will try to reach an agreement with... regarding the strengthening of military support to ukraine. the disagreement between the european capitals arose after macron's statements about sending the troops of western allies to ukraine. according to diplomats, the european dispute arose in the background weakening of support for ukraine by the united states of america. we hope for a fruitful conversation and positive results for ukraine, first of all, and for the security of europe itself. they are protesting from all sides. polish farmers blocked the crossing point with slovakia. this is reported by the polish media. farmers from nearby settlements will check every truck in the area of ​​the village of khyzhne, because according to them, it is through these roads that ukrainian grain enters poland. the blockade was announced, until the end of march cars and buses will allegedly pass without delays, allegedly, the most

you mentioned olaf scholz and the bundestag decision on taurus long-range missiles, but at the same time defense minister of the federal republic of germany boris pistorius says that long-range missiles will not be decisive. for the conflict in ukraine, and germany is not going to cross this line, and it seems that such a position of pistorius is being pushed by the intercepted conversations of the german military thrown out by the russians, who are discussing a possible strike by taurus missiles on the crimean bridge, or whether this story affects , a spy story with intercepted conversations, recordings. on the position of germany and how much they will restrain themselves in transfer to us taurus? it would be strange if this story influenced the position of germany, rather it influenced the dialogue between the allies to ensure the secrecy of information, i.e. the possibilities for russian, intelligence agencies and others to remove this information, this is the main thing that happened after this conversation was leaked there, and the second moment... that it is very positive that the

berbuk can't convince her boss, olaf scholz, to give us the taurus missiles after all.y hope that i will convince. we move on, and again move away from europe, this time the east. china stands up. for an equal and multipolar world. in 2024, the country will contribute to the formation of a new type of international relations. this is stated in the report on the socio-economic development plan of the celestial empire for this year. it was made public at the second session of the khushitai people's assembly representatives of the thursday 14th convocation, which began today and will continue until march 11. the document, in particular, states. that china must steadfastly adhere to an independent and independent peaceful foreign policy, move along the path of peaceful development, firmly adhere to the strategy of openness to the outside world, orientation to mutual benefit and mutual gain. and then a quote from this document: we will oppose despotism, hegemony and bullying, defending equality and justice in international relations. i especially liked the last one sentence:

and the question arises as to what kind of player it will be for germany, because olaf scholz, he is, well, not just a chancellor, but the chancellor of the traffic light coalition, which... in the event of its collapse, could suffer a heavy political defeat, and the issue of the transfer of taurus missiles to ukraine, it continues to be on the agenda, so i think that what we heard from the mouth of the french president is not only a declaration about the intentions, but also the desire to achieve appropriate changes in european politics for the benefit of france first of all, you have already mentioned macron's leadership. in europe, well, about the fact that he is trying to be the leader of the european community, and it was clear two weeks ago, when he gathered representatives of european states and spoke about the fact that we need to do everything so that ukraine does not lose to russia, possible troops that can be moved to the territory of the ukrainian state, then he gave many interpretations of this, but at the same time today... the head of the european commission, ursula fo

barel, the gardener of the european union, in fact, but really this is an amazing statement and olaf scholzwn blame for their wrong decisions onto vladimir putin personally, they believe that this will pass, it is passing, no, this is no longer passes and it will not pass, in fact , the reputation of brussels is ruined, it’s not that it’s collapsing or will be, it’s already collapsed, and europe in the near future will not only... what ukraine did at the very beginning of a military conflict with russia or an imitation of a military conflict with russia in 1914, it declared itself the front line of the fight against russia, now finland and the baltic states are doing the same, they actually openly declare themselves: we are the first victims, we are the future of aggression and so on, well, first of all, if you ... then you talk for a long time and your mouth becomes shabby sweeter, yes, when you say halva-halva, well, because that’s how psychology works, that’s it, but on the other hand, this is the only thing they can sell now, because the economy in finland, i ’m sorry, suffered very muc

the german chancellor, olaf scholz, says his country can't stand by and watch palestinians risk starvationaine says it hit an oil refinery in southern russia overnight, as part of a campaign to undermine russia's economy. the kremlin says the attacks were timed to disrupt the russian election. and a state of emergency in iceland — after a fourth volcanic eruption in as many months. the village of grindavik is evacuated, only weeks after residents were allowed to return. now on bbc news, it's sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening... a seventh goal on a day of mayhem at manchester united. they beat liverpool to reach the fa cup semi—finals.

and, by the way, do you think that after this meeting of the weimar triangle of emmanuel macron, olaf scholz and donald tusk, the atmosphere itself has somehow changed, primarily in french-german relations? they at least tried to convince everyone yes, there is no conflict, there is no weakening of relations, and in general it is important to understand that this franco-german friendship, well, it is such, such a foundation of europe, at least in berlin and in paris they are convinced of this, it is such a duo that... well if it carries this old europe, and this is extremely symbolically important, that after the second world war these two countries became friends, and until now, every time a new chancellor or a new president is elected in france, the first visit to europe must take place precisely in germany or to france, respectively, they conduct a series summits throughout the year, and this relationship is extremely important, so after the meeting, of course, macron and olaf scholt, on their part , did everything necessary to smooth out... these corners to say that there are some disagr
