defense of germany i wonder what the media boris pistorius is suspected of sympathy for russia why didout? while the new german defense minister is taking the oath of applause to the bundestag, german magazines and newspapers are competing in the headlines. he, come in handy of the day, everyone suspects history of having close relations with russia , the new minister of defense is in trouble, sensitive russian past istoriosa, putin's former friend boris istoriosa has to defend himself because of russia's course, criticized the sanctions against russia, met with russian diplomats participated in negotiations on the creation of twin cities between our countries , advocated the development of relations and, according to some reports, even studied the language, and all this over the past few years, the track record of the new head of the bundeswehr has caused tension in the political circles of germany instead of congratulations from the critic. and open calls to correct the course to justify, after all , support for kiev, the fighting story from now on should clearly mark a new start in

germany's new defense minister boris pistorius has hosted his u.s.ounterpart lloyd austin in berlin for talks on ukraine. their meeting comes at of nato consultations on friday, at which countries are expected to make critical decisions about further what terry aid to kyiv. -- about further military aid to kyiv. reporter: a busy first day in office. shortly after getting his certificate of appointment, boris pistorius met his u.s. counterpart lloyd austin. both of them signaled their unified stance. >> i would like to thank the german government for all it has done to strengthen ukraine's self-defense and your contributions and training for ukraine's defenders have been invaluable. >> as so often in history, the federal republic of germany and the united states of america stands side-by-side in their approach, but also on the concrete issues. be it the infantry fighting vehicles, the patriot air defense system, or the multiple rocket launchers. reporter: but for many in germany and further afield, one thing is missing -- battle tanks for ukraine. som

how can you do that when the german defence minister, pistorius, says after ramstein, "we cannot sayn a decision on sending the tanks will come and we cannot say what it will look like." well, i think it's an issue of german politics, of how they frame their decisions and when they make it. ourjob is to make them make those decisions sooner, as soon as it is possible. yes, of course, one can feel frustrated about the pace of this decision—making process. but on the other hand, as i said, i have enough indicators to conclude that this decision will be made and this issue will be resolved. i understand that sometimes in capitals, it takes time to make decisions. fine. while they are making decisions, we continue our fight. and it's true, it's a sad truth, but i have to say that every day of a protracted discussion in one of the capitals, or in some capitals, means that more ukrainian soldiers will die because of the lack of weapons and more... hang on. that's important. are you saying those deaths are germany's responsibility, that ukrainian blood right now is on german hands? i think

boris pistorius certainly has his work cut out for him.rent: let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the u.s. has formally designated the russian private military contractor as a transnational criminal organization. the move means washington can now freeze the group's u.s. assets for its activities in ukraine and other countries. the u.s. treasury has also placed multiple individuals linked to them under sanchez. turkey's foreign minister has accused sweden of being complicit in quote, a hate and racist crime for failing to prevent an anti-islam protest in stockholm over the weekend. he said holding talks with sweden or finland about their bids to join nato is currently meaningless. the nordic countries need turkey's approval in order to join the alliance. taliban officials in afghanistan say extreme cold this winter has killed at least 160 people. the country is in the midst of its worst cold snap in at least a decade. temperatures plunging below -30 degrees celsius earlier this month. humanitarian -- dwindling

trying to draw up a strategy for the next two months, how can you do it if german defense minister pistorius says after rammstein we can't say when we will make a decision about leopard tanks and we can't say what it will be by decision i think it is a matter of german politics how they form their decisions and when they make them our task is to make them make this decision rather as quickly as possible phil frosted you can feel frustrated by the process of making these decisions but on the other hand i have enough indicators to draw conclusions that these decisions will be made and will be decided beatsation will be without a-a i understand that sometimes in the capitals decision -making takes time so and so and be while they continue to make decisions we continue fight and it's true, it's unfortunate, it's true, i have to say that every day of protracted discussions in which of the capitals in some capitals means that more ukrainian soldiers will die due to lack of weapons. from that, germany will allow poland to provide leopard tanks to ukraine, their consent is of secondary importance, w

future , nato secretary general jen stoltenberg said after a meeting with german defense minister pistorius. he also added that all allies of the alliance that have german-made tanks and want to hand them over to ukraine should decide on this now, because it is for the preparation of equipment. and the training of the military takes time, because dawn is of course very important for ukraine to have the opportunity to repel new offensive actions of russia and also to return its territories to win and be a sovereign independent state in europe and in belarus , joint military exercises with the russians continue in one of the villages in volyn, which is 2 km from the northern border, almost every day explosions are heard from the belarusian training ground, most of the locals who i left at the beginning of the full-scale invasion have returned home and now they say that they are ready to defend themselves in the event of a second attack, our volyn colleagues will tell us that it is more scary, everyone was scared, we did not know what to do, how to even behave, fear, panic, and a few kilometer

pistorius was surprisingly a decision made by chancellor scholz.nfortunately, he is disappointing as well because he is not acting according to the will of the majority of the population in germany that says more diplomacy for a negotiated peace rather than sending battle tanks. he is now saying, well, we are sending battle tanks in cooperation with our allies. i have to say very frankly, united states has no allies. the united states is just interested in their own interests and just interest in battle. poland and the other countries who were pushing germany and chancellor scholz to say yes to the leopard 2, they're also doing exactly that, what united states wants from them. united states is pushing them into the front and saying, please do this, and then there putting the pressure in creating an atmosphere of pressure to the german government. because of german history. two times. two world wars started from germany with the attacks against russia or respectively soviet union. and now we are sending again tanks against russia, against moscow. an

nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg has met germany's new defence minister boris pistorius in berlinas germany remains under pressure over the supply of tanks to ukraine. after the meeting they told journalists that they'd discussed the issue of battle tanks, but a decision still hasn't been made. according to export rules the german government has to grant permission for any german—made tanks to be exported, even if they are owned by other countries. poland has now sent an official request, and germany has acknowledged its receipt. this is what the nato secretary general had to say. consultations amongst our allies will continue and i'm confident we will continue and i'm confident we will have a solution soon. germany -la s a will have a solution soon. germany plays a key — will have a solution soon. germany plays a key role — will have a solution soon. germany plays a key role in _ will have a solution soon. germany plays a key role in our— will have a solution soon. germany plays a key role in our alliance. - plays a key role in our alliance. the assistance announced by olaf schol

boris pistorius will lead.as already announced that he is going to give 150% and make the army strong, but by the way , it will obviously not be easy for the 62-year-old official to fulfill the promise, the candidacy for this story with the european press calls it unexpected. after all, he had never worked in federal positions before, but besides , the military experience of the new secretary of defense is limited to military service . germany, however, heads of government. this does not seem to be at all embarrassing when scholz said that the story with a quote is just the person who will lead the bundeswehr through a historical turning point. olaf-scholz himself. looks like not yet decided. how exactly will his country go. this very turning point today in davos, the german chancellor only dodged the answer to the question about the supply of tanks to ukraine. leopard that g is preparing to transfer a batch of armored vehicles to kiev, the european press wrote last week, the discussion of this issue received a

boris pistorius, the new minister of defense there, noted that they should take into account many factors particular, it is about the issue of security for the german population, at the same time the head of the german ministry of foreign affairs stated that her country will not stand in the way if poland decides to send its leopard-2 tanks to ukraine. earlier, polish prime minister meteo shmurivetsky emphasized that if germany does not agree to transfer tanks to ukraine, it will a smaller coalition of allied countries was created and they are ready to share 1,300 km on foot in three months through ukrainian ukrainian travelers made a european campaign to raise money for the army along the way friends arranged an improvised concerts in city squares and told europeans about ukraine and russian aggression, the final point of the route was the capital of poland, warsaw, where they were met by our correspondent maria chernyakhivska, anton is full of emotions, he is in warsaw and is already completing a three-month-long trek, at the finish line, the boys meet my friends, my legs, my body still

during his visit to berlin, he put pressure on the newly minted defense minister to give boré and pistoriusrmission to transfer german tanks to kiev. well, the polish prime minister doesn't seem to need it. we have agreed with our ukrainian friends, as well as with partners in western europe, that we will transfer these tanks together. is there agreement here? secondarily, we will either get this consent quickly, or we will do it ourselves, since at the same time the poles must be ready to dispose of foreign citizens. so lieutenant general waldemarsh shepchak proposed to replenish the ranks of the armed forces to mobilize ukrainian refugees who arrived on the territory of poland, germany and france anna voronina to lead. strikes have begun in paris and other major french cities against pension reform in the capital . thousands of people were taken out into the street for the situation followed by our european correspondent. regina sevastyanova, she goes directly to the facts. regina hello, how large-scale uh, this strike turned out. oh hello, the current black thursday, as they say here, sh

if we listen to the pistorius there , he basically says the same thing, that we are doing everythingortant for us that there is no clash with russia, what are we talking about, what is he doing? this step is the first thing they try to understand. whether we answer or not, we will answer this particular step for a long time, they feel it with their foot. here they are looking at some there is stupid. is it possible to step there? if possible, then only after that this step is not carried out and only when they understand that this step will remain unanswered, that's all they will receive in return. it will be that it is a legitimate target to hit on the territory of ukraine from now on. they are sure that they have security in their own attitude and that they can take this step, and only after that they make such a decision. that's what they tell us and the same scholz every time he repeats, maybe he doesn't understands. maybe he does it subconsciously, but every time he tells us that we will continue these deliveries, but so that there is no escalation of nato with russia , literall

but who exactly makes the decision at a joint press conference with the nato secretary general, pistoriushe corners and called on the alliance not to become a party to the ukrainian conflict , stoltenberg's statement sounded quite businesslike. we must provide ukraine with heavier advanced systems and do it faster. today we are discussing the supply of tanks. i am sure that soon we will have a decision that the participating countries need to prepare tanks for shipment and start training ukrainian crews. however, berlin has already begun to transfer two of the three promised batteries of the american air defense missile system, which means that the line of leopards is not far off the concern. it has already reported that it will be able to transfer 139 tanks to kiev, a small number will be ready in april may part repaired by the beginning of next year. however, the majority. and the manufacturer plans to remove these 88 cars from storage, and in this case we are talking about an outdated modification of the leopard-1. sweden should not expect favors from turkey on the issue of nato member

to eyewitnesses, they are going east, while the newly appointed minister of defense of germany, pistoriusares that vehicles will appear at the front only after 3 months. what effect it will have in ukraine is still a big question, but the fact that germany has surrendered about berlin's concessions writes the belgian newspaper standard, the british curtain and the financial times are delighted with the dismissal of the tanks. but the spanish edition of lavender warns that europe may face another dangerous escalation, moreover, after the tanks in the west they started talking about the planes of the deputy minister of foreign affairs, the former went to ukraine in germany. the miller, who called the schultz liver sausage, is already demanding submarines and fighters of all kinds. hallelujah jesus christ and now dear allies. let's create a strong coalition of fighters for ukraine with r16 f-35 eurofighter tornado rafael flu. and everything that you can supply to ukraine but even the hawks in the bundestag, in the airspace of ukraine, are not yet in a hurry to explain the difference between

german defense minister boris pistorius said that the first leopards will go to ukraine in about threes, he was asked why the german authorities no longer believe that the transfer of tanks to ukraine will lead to an escalation of the conflict with moscow. i will remind berlin of these threats earlier explained the refusal to supply tanks to kyiv and this is what shalka replied: a new group in europe really is at war not far from berlin, it is happening in the great country of ukraine. that is why we must make it clear that we are doing everything necessary and possible to support ukraine, but at the same time avoid escalation between russia and nato we will continue to always adhere to this principle our goal is to quickly provide two tank battalions together with our allies there are many countries that would also like to contribute to the supply and we we will coordinate and involve them so that it happens step by step, stay in touch with us , roman, well, how many anyway , how many tanks can ukraine count on now, and in what period of time did the media write that it was about thre

is far from all countries, the owners of this offensive weapon are ready, german defense minister pistorius berlin says he does not want to share responsibility alone, ideally it would be distributed among everyone. who has tanks and who doesn't. and of course, do not forget to add the united states to this list. i consider it important to note that towards the rammstein base , not everyone was of the same opinion , there were those who have leopard tanks, and those who want to act there were fewer who does not have tanks, but who has his own opinion, in no case can it be said that the picture was homogeneous, the ability to get out of the post, the minister. some german defense analysts rated positively the story with i think i ended up in a situation that can be compared to swimming in icy water, but it seems that he is a good swimmer, however, they don’t forget to discuss me with a single head of the eu foreign ministers. the tenth package of sanctions against russia, the hungarians are again against, as for the sanctions there , they are leading europe to a dead end from the point from
