u. k. defense minister than wallace has just said that there were, there will be no magic wand for the ukraine to receive. those are fighter jets from the west, but also that significant the u. k. hasn't excluded it. so unlike the u. s, the u. k hasn't said this is not going to happen. so i agree with richard that this might be interpreted as a shift in the west thinking. so the u. k has also said that they are expanding the training of the ukrainian soldiers. they're hoping to train up to $20000.00 ukrainian soldiers this year. and obviously this is significant because they will be trained to use the battle tangs and order artillery of all the machinery are that's being used by the west. and we know that battle tanks have been secured by ukraine so, so this training in the u. k is very, very important for the ukraine, but i just wanted to ask you as well about that moment. when's the lensky singled out the former british prime minister boris johnson to say, thank you. you know, boris is loved by many a ukrainians for his support of the country. his successor refused. soon act is. is he trying

u. k has provided a company of challenger main battle tanks and has worked with several countries to source more ammunition for ukraine's defenders. and we're working together on training for the ukrainian armed forces through bilateral and multilateral training initiatives. like the european union's mult, you european union's military assistance mission. all of these donations and join initiatives flow from our unity in our resolve. but we still have much more to do together and we must intensify our focus. ukraine has urgent requirements to help it help it meet this crucial moment. in the course of the war and president, zalinski underscored, ukraine's need for more equipment at our last meeting and ramstein. so we're fortunate to be joined again by my good friend, ukrainian minister of defense, alexey rusnick off intellectually. thanks for your leadership and for joining us again today in person. let me also welcome ukraine's deputy chief of defense. lieutenant general worship is great to have both of you here with us and your presentations will help us sharpen our focus on a situation o

u. k has promised to train fighter jet pilots and we know that we have the netherlands in denmark who are on board with the idea of providing a jets. how do you think this, this move forward? is this business now? time for european that heads of states to sort of put their heads together and decide, well which of us is more willing to do this because this is an individual, as we just heard from us on the line. this is an individual state matter rather than something that the european union can push through. yeah that's, i mean this is why is this style of press conference, which is in the order of how it normally would be held when a foreign leader comes to a summit. they would always be stood that with the council and commission president, but i saved the blushes of any leaders who might want to i would leave reject the idea of any fighter jets going going that now as you say, there is some car, there are some countries who are starting to sort of makes noise is that potentially it could be possible, but there was a lot of resistance to the, to the leper to tank is going a few weeks ago

u. k. has promised to train fighter jet to pilots and we know that we have the netherlands in denmark who are on board with the idea of providing a jets. how do you think this, this moves forward? this is now time for european that heads of states to sort of put their heads together and decide well which of us is more willing to do this because this is an individual, as we just heard there from sheila, on the line. this is an individual state matter rather than something that the european union.

u. k. u k has become more and more americanized in the last 20 years. and johnson's period and office was marked by corruption sleep. so i think in many respects we shouldn't be too surprised about this. on the details of the story are really interesting. this particular individual didn't only squeeze a job out of her purse. johnson, i'm for helping with the loans. previously when it was a number 10 lines, he also managed to get a 600000 grant for cancer research company that he was a 6 percent shareholder in. so you know, it's some jobs for the boys and a nepotism of corruption. u. k. ltd. how likely is it that no one at the b, b, c, had any knowledge of this? say, cash favor? alleged cash favor? this is very hard to say. i mean, perhaps the high risk, the higher echelons there were people who knew about what was going on. you know, the bbc is we shouldn't forget and an organization is almost a political entity in itself and have his own corruption problem. just in recent years, people remember the scandal of jimmy subtle, the peter file where the rule

u. k has sent the largest military a package, the ukraine, a pop 2nd to the u. s. an economy. there is no way near as big an economy that still reeling over the effects of brakes. it, right, so the real issue there. and on top of that, we've looked even the new york times, hardly a friend of russia telling us that the russian economy is going to recover on import an export to the same level as before, the special military operation. so really, these, these numbers speak for themselves, but i think we can say it any clearer. the sanctions have completely and utterly fail. wrapping up his trip to the west by the us secretary of state has reaffirmed washington's commitment to a 2 state solution to the palestine is really conflict. anthony blank and also emphasized washington's iron clod support for israel security. those remarks made in jerusalem sparked under the claims of america's pro, is really biased. a statement by the palestinian president also claim, quote, atrocities carried out by the i d. f are being overlooked. yes, this gum swell is really is being overlooked. and wi

u. k has played here, these a v, the germans and the french. i mean it, it worked in getting, you know, western allies to say yester sending in battle tanks to ukraine. i'm wondering, is zalinski is he betting that the strategy is also going to work in terms of getting fighter jets delivered to his military? i guess right now he doesn't have many other options. there's been a fair amount of despondency and keep in recent weeks after we heard joe biden saying, no to f sixteens, you had all of shots. that was, i guess, more to be expected from ukraine, point of view that he would be against the driver. those systems, so basically that is the main hope that the brits will go ahead and then later encourage the others to go along with them. those have been a mistake about france. france has a lot of it's weapons industries in government ownership controls. there's an option that if the government wants to help to really put pressure on to actually make things happen without having to go through a commercial operation with shareholders in its own pri

u. k. has sent the largest military aid package to ukraine, a pop 2nd to the u. s. an economy. there is no way near as big an economy that still reeling over the effects of brags that right. so the real issue there. and on top of that, we've looked even the new york times, hardly a friend of russia telling us that the russian economy is going to recover on import an export to the same level as before, the special military operation. so really, these, these numbers speak for themselves, but i think we can say it any clearer. the sanctions have completely and utterly failed when. meanwhile, moscow has been hosting the african way investment conference by various interpreters and officials from the continents our discussions. so that they're talking amid discussions on how to increase economic cooperation between the countries. the democratic republic of congo and buffet of russia told us that the continent has a lot to learn about russia the most do they are taking care of the interests of my country. i will say that the congress see only the military power of russia. so far, rus

u. k has been one of the biggest providers for help. it's basically the us. yes. the lines share on the you. so much financial assistance from the you. yes, there are very strong internal push back to, to this process. but there's still really a consensus at the end of the day that it would cost much more if this security situation got out of control. and only if you're grained, lewis is this, or it would have implications for broad international order for the security in europe and security in europe is very important to the us. so at the end of the day, i think there might be more scrutiny given the republican majority in the us or thing. they majority of the democrats, depending on which part of the congress you speaking, may be more scrutiny. but today it seems like at the moment veins national partners actually are planning to make sure that this help is more regular this year than last year. and so that they indeed make sure there is around $3000000.00 a month this year. ukrainian officials have suggested this idea of turning to russian assets seized assets

u. k. has since the beginning of this war was here, go always kind of been 1st and the most willing to take risks and the most willing to provoke as it were kremlin. and to cross the cummins red lines to the hope that eventually other european countries in the u. s. will rethink their position here. but it is also important to think of these planes. they are not just interesting or important to useful to ukraine for the kind of symbolism, because they know us things that really interest the why to public and capture them in imagination. there for reason and there partly important to strengthen ukraine's air defenses from missiles you can not ballistic missile out of the sky with the help of fighter jets and also to attack positions fall behind the front lines. you know, russian logistics hubs within occupied ukraine. and in recent days, and even in london, now they have been commitments from british government, other western allies, to supply more systems apart from plains that do the same thin

u. k. france, as well as the u. s. are directed against the russian federation. moscow will take this into account. it is unacceptable that the u. s. has started to reshape the world order only to suit itself in the last year that parisha nuclear plant in ukraine, which is the largest in europe, has come close to nuclear disaster. and the possibility of nuclear weapons being used, if the war escalates has been widely reported me, isn't the grossness, did you quote ranch and acknowledging the impact of the war the all those gathered at this conference center incent, moscow stood in silence to commemorate russian service people who died, put in announced a special fund to assist families of soldiers and veterans. russia was do whatever it takes to win the message from a defiant president. putin was to assure his people what you're hearing from the rest is untrue. according to him, the rest has been unable to isolate russia. if he gets military or break it's economy, but as a bar drags past the one year mark, there is no denying that the people are beginning to feel the impact summer media without that era. moscow? yes, president joe bide

and another news ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has been here in the u. k for his 1st visit since the war began nearly a year ago. and his speech to both houses of parliament, he said victory over russia would change the world. the u. k. has been one of ukraine's biggest military supporters. during the conflict. investigators say they found strong indications that russia's president approved the supply of miss our system used to shoot down a blazer airlines playing in 2014, but they don't have enough evidence to prosecute. and a, suspending their inquiry flight made 17 crash denise and ukraine, killing everyone on board. and the white house is denied claims published online that the u. s. was behind a tax that sabotaged the north stream pipeline. last year. the claims are made in a blog post by respected investigative journalist seymour hersh. the claims have been dismissed as false and complete fiction. alright, the stream is next. ask you how tick tock is changed the way we talk about mental health stay with us for that. the american people is spoken, but
