ensure this for the civilians were ordered to move on his visit to his real german chancellor, olaf schultz course said he had spoken to benjamin netanyahu. it's about $118.00. and because of the bottom, the people they are queuing for brands and other centrals, we'll be hoping that is really prime minister. he'd shots, his words as resources and about their territory run ever lower us president joe biden is preparing to head to israel on wednesday in meetings with the government. he's expected to reaffirm americans commitments to israel. security will also discuss israel's war aims and the strategy as well as the need to protect the lives of civilians and unable age to reach gaza is comes as israel pressed hassan with air strikes and prepares for a ground invasion of the enclave. its 1st light and the extent of israel's military build up on its full do with garza becomes clearer troops by to reggie as they prepare for ground defensive. the could begin at any moment. over nights these ready defense forces continued that as strikes on the gauze, a strip that targeting the militant islam is g

the olaf schultz as well, he clearly is spelled out of what many means when it says that israel's security is reason of states here. and in germany, a cool benchmark of what german policy is about. and that he addressed 3 levels of 1st of all that he spoke directly within him in this on yahoo and offered him concrete support, asking him, essentially for a list of things he might want. we know that the german defense minister announced that that will include munition for bullshit. there's also reports that germany will give back a some drones which at least from israel itself. then at the diplomatic level that talks at all levels, the email of could top of me to find nancy of hamas is in berlin today, just to cite one of the people who's speaking to i'm 30 at the german society level a he essentially announced a crackdown on any demonstrations and organizations that are sympathetic with him off, so he really spelled out what dom and support for israel will mean at this moment in time. yeah, we shouldn't. there was also the point about the hostages that have been taken by have us in, in, in

when there was talk of transferring tanks to ukraine, when germany was occupying also, the same olaf schultzad such an interesting position, that's what everyone was talking about about the threat of the fact that, as it is, that german weapons can, that means , shoot at the russians again, and even more so, travel somewhere on russian territory, so one of the, by the way , active, which is also interesting, german generals, he expressed such an opinion , that in fact there are no german weapons in ukraine, there are ukrainian weapons of german origin in ukraine , that is, at the moment when these weapons fall into the hands of the armed forces of ukraine, they actually become the property of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, it is not that we borrowed it for use, it is , well no other story, except that these weapons are transferred directly to the ownership of the armed forces of ukraine, and accordingly they are disposed of starting from the crews and ending with the ukrainian high command, that is, in fact in the same germany, from various positions and positions purely there of such

and we already heard from some leaders, including the german chancellor, olaf schultz, and the u commission president was a lot funder line. all of them stressing that it is a marriage based process that ukraine needs to implement reforms that they needs to fulfill all the criteria to be ready for accession talks. however, we also have to say that what is on the agenda today is also the question whether the you appear in the union itself is ready to welcome new members. but when we talk to diplomats here or in brussels, you very often hear that it is also a geo political decision. and dad's in the and the european union appropriately will needs to open accession talks with ukraine by the ad tufty year. however, there are also, as you mentioned, other countries in the waiting room being there for years west and bulk and countries and to the you would nice to welcome them to. so it is a very, very complicated, tough question that is being discussed here today. so no shortage of complicated, tough questions there. the other main topic dominating the agenda of course is migration is, is a huge

missiles, although, in principle, the germans are already ready for this, but the prime minister, olaf schultz is not. i think the germans will need a little more time, the government, first of all germany. a little more time is meant in connection with the fact that, by the way, in absolute numbers, germany has already provided us with military and other assistance since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia for more than 23 billion euros, this is a serious partner of ours and a serious shoulder that supports us in confronting the russian aggression, that dota kams, you and i spoke on the air more than once, and i confirm that we talked about this issue, and as i promised, our american partners resolved it positively, in the end, and this is definitely a bold decision, a decisive position of the president of the united states biden, the only thing that in the case of weapons like atakam, which are military ballistic , high-precision missiles, we and our american partners now, i think we are holding the right line, we are talking less about when they will arrive, with what details

so the big issues to be discussed is also what we've heard from olaf schultz who's a german chance to say, either this doesn't just happen automatically. we have to look at, look to things. we have to look at the m e p. situation has we don't numbers up and give continue. countries like ukraine, how do we create new positions in brussels for those new member states? this is not easy and he's not the only one raising those concerns. i strongly disagree with that dates. i also think it is very unwise, the you already has 27 member states, and if more countries are added, decision making and all kinds of other matters will become even more complicated. it's not a question of when countries will be ready. it's a question of whether a countries will be ready. it is completely unrealistic to advance deadline's tomorrow we will address the strategic agenda among the topics is expansion, whether decisive state will be taken regarding ukraine or moved over. it will not be determined tomorrow. it is only an informal meeting when you listen to that, and then what's coming out of, of brussels kid

and olaf schultz, who was standing right there, was asked the same question. cholz know that biden was going to blow up the corpse back in february, or did he only find out about it after the fact? but the germans turned out to be too cowardly to ask their chancellor this question directly, although they are now experiencing big problems. thank you very much, thank you very much for your opinion. dear colleagues, what’s interesting here? what do you mean, from our colleague, what did we learn? bureaucrat, and you say an ideologist, i suggest. to resolve this dispute. so, this means that we will play a certain amount of the interview without sound and invite your colleague to analyze it. roman, your opinion. an ideologist or a bureaucrat, these are incompatible things, in a word, he is a bureaucrat, a bureaucrat is not an ideologist, when he speaks, it is understandable, but when he becomes silent, it feels like he is looking inside himself, he freezes, it says that in many ways, this person is somehow working through scenarios, working through what he said, so
