u. s. and germany? yes, the usual saber rattling and we should ignore it and get it to treat it with the content because we've been hearing this really since day one. the west has been assisting you crazy since day one, and we'll continue to do so. despite the red lines and threats issuing from moscow and it's i satellites should be noted, treated properly unless now there may well be sort of behind it. behind the scenes negotiations which are taking place between russian u. s. but that, that, that's, that's going to be rather covered. just ok. so and just to pick up on a point that we heard from a test that has been a gap, that between promise is from the west and actual delivery of equipment on the ground. that must be very dispiriting. if you're a new crane. well yes, but on the other hand, the announcement today we'll get a real lift. about 4 weeks ago we heard of the transfer about a 100 artillery guns. and they've only gone got to the front line in the last week or 2. you need to train crews, you n

do we know how long it will take for it to deploy for these weapons that were promised by germany and the u. s. is that announcement of weapons from the u. s. and germany was very welcomed here in ukraine, but of course it won't be immediate. we will see what we're seeing at the moment. karen, as we've heard, russian forces are keeping up their tax on don bus at eastern new crime, pounding the area with artillery. many people have fled the region, but all corresponded what he has building up and several other journalists went to one village close to the front light to talk to the volunteers and residence. still holding up their when the war broke out, who it's immediately registered as a volunteer for ukraine's territory defense forces. now he's guarding this village on the front line in dawn pass. thank you. 3. no, they shoot from tags. they shoot and detect missiles. kennedy. i'm not a career officer, so it is difficult for me to distinguish all of them by sound. pretty short cuts. what it's, his nickname is just one of around 100000 volunteers who joined units like have since the beginning

germany's defense, which for the you, you was not for the us was not enough. so in recent times and particularly under the leadership of joe biden, in the u. s, but also or left shows in, in germany they have both tried to really strengthen that bilateral relationship and we're, we're seeing now what we saw those pictures of both leaders there warmly talking to each other is a sign that, that relationship that was strained. for example, during the presidency of donald trump is back in strength. so that's how you can interpret this in the immediate term. but also understanding what the past was when it came to that bilateral relationship. oh, michelle ala, also touched on this and that is the looming food crisis. that's another focus of this g 7 meeting and the w's correspondence. i sent her one phenomenon was at a press conference with european council president charles michelle. and she asked him about the staffs at the block is taking to get ukrainian grain out of the country. let's take a listen and then we'll continue our conversation. thank you. alison at one somebody, wu, another important topic on the agenda. and he just mentioned tha

u. s. and germany is in general. but also a president by was stating that all our shows had done a good job so far in precisely trying to shore up that support. so all in all, i would say for germany, it's remarkably important. this summit in our mouth or the concrete results, we will have to wait and see what they actually discuss. right, something else that they keep talking about and stressing all the time is this idea of western unity and the faith of rushes aggression. alexandra, despite this talk, are there any concrete and joint plans to somehow increase the pressure on the kremlin or is it just talk about unity? well, i think of course this topic is at the top of the agenda to hold flooding if wouldn't accountable. and to ensure that the costs for him are rising for waging the war on ukraine in ukraine. and what it seems to be happening is that the g 7 seems to have, they seemed to have a plan to move forward with regard to more sanctions on russia. the u, as has already announced that together there with the

u. s. and germany? yes, you're so saber rattling and we should ignore it and get that treated with the content because we've been hearing this really since day one. the west has been assisting you crazy since day one and will continue to do so. despite the various red lines and threats issuing from moscow and it's i satellites, i think you should be ignored treated properly unless now there may well be sort of behind it behind the scenes negotiations which are taking place between russia. yes, but that, that's, that's, that's going to be a quick. what about the comments that lots of comments that i'm hearing today saying that the despite their advance in easton ukraine, russia is actually repeating mistakes made at the start of the war. is that your assessment? yes, the pentagon has came up with this in the last couple of days. russia has the same problems and since day one it's got caught out on me. it lacks infantry, it's equipment is in portraits. command systems are antiquated, whereas the ukrainians

u. s and germany have each analysis plans to send more modern weaponry to ukraine. washington says it'll deliver precision rocket systems. berlin has promised antiaircraft missiles. moscow has condemned the plans accusing the u. s. of deliberately fuel intentions. you're watching the w news from and then i'm told me on logical up next is doc film. find out more about big tech, secretive way of doing business. don't forget, you can get all the latest news around the clock on d w dot com. thanks a lot in a south, a mother is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for mercury berkeley daughter with .

u. s. and germany was very welcomed here in ukraine, but of course it won't be immediate. we will see what we're seeing at the moment carry on for some weeks. we're hearing that the pentagon estimate that these heavy weapons from the u. s. could take around 3 weeks to arrive here, of course ukraine is will need to be trained on them as well. and there is that we're hearing about delays potentially from the german anti aircraft, anti defense systems that have been promised that they're not going to come from stock pals within the german army. they're actually going to come directly from the manufacturer so that could add delays. so not really sure exactly of a time frame there. we do know that ukraine desperately need them as soon as possible. we're hearing now that you can, the u. k has also agreed to send some of these a longer range weapon systems and are also going to be training the ukrainians in how to use them as well. so we will see some of some benefit from those weapons, but not for some weeks. we don't know what's gonna happen in between then whether you crank an

u. s. where a study also shows that such referrals are likely to come from a close friend or a family member in both the u. s. and germany studies show that inter ethnic relationships are in common, and women 2 are less likely to tap into the networks for jobs. so the people who benefit tend to be those white men who already have power in the networks, those wireless, but they are steins. change is on the way. for example, some you as tech firms like air b and b and google are expanding operations to cities with a divers, well educated population like chicago at atlanta, where they can hire more. plaque talon always has a lot of life, people know, working as a worker. they did trying to break the cycle of hiring from the same networks. basically, people who are very similar and let's face it. they are doing that just because they believe in equality they need and i 1st workforce to innovate for divers, customer base. if they don't, they will be left behind. but enough about companies. what about you and me? what should we be doing for me as much as i love? hang out with my friends. i have to expand my network like gettin

u. s. and germany to send heavy weapons going down and keith why think the kind of general response here and key of is one of what took you so long? especially when it comes to germany or of see lots of kristen coming from ukraine and not only from crane in recent weeks, months about delays in germany, sending weapons german reluctance to send heavier weapons systems. so that announcement in berlin today of those rocket systems coming very welcome. but the question elsie is about the numbers being sent was for little detail so far about whether the for there been an outs will really be the end of it or will it potential for more to be supplied in the future? and of sits, question of timing's m, you'll see the fighting industry credit inquiry intense now. and basically the grains been saying that they need all that equipment yesterday rather than to morrow months fun. and so do we have a sense of how long it would take to deploy those systems into combat? there are 2 parts of c, it's the training part. these weapons systems that are new to the ukranian army, not a ones that they have used bef

and of course, we have to say that germany is one of the closest u. s. allies. despite all the criticism that the german government has been facing for, not supporting ukraine enough for not being quick enough and determined enough to provide the country with lethal weapons. so we can say that this was a very friendly meeting because of course also you asked, understands that germany is a heavy weight in europe, dad to together with friends. they can really move things and they also understand that germany as a host of this g 7 meeting is key to make sure that this meeting is at success. which is mentioned again that this bilateral meeting was before the official start of the g 7 summit. thomas did a speak about anything else of more substance? well, that is substance already. alexandra mentioned already some of the key aspects that they discussed according to u. s. officials. it was really all about showing this friendly relationship that they have one issue that they did not talk extensively about. and that again is, according to us, officials was thi

germany and in particular the chancellor has been criticized quite a bit. both abroad and within germany for not doing enough to support ukraine. and yet we heard earlier today the u. s. president biden calling germany one of the fastest and closest allies in the world. what do you make of this comment? well, we heard from a u. s. official stat, this meeting was very friendly and very warm. and there is stressed to that. you asked president joe biden pray stir. mister shold sir leadership but also expressed his trust in the german chancellor. and they also stressed her that the war, sir, bro, to alignment on all of the issues discussion. of course, it's true that germany is one of the closest you as partners allies of. but it is also true that germany, as you sat her, has been facing a lot of criticism for not doing enough to help ukraine for not providing lethal weapons. there is something that is happening now, but even when a de german chancellor schultz announced to sir about face with regard to germany's foreign and defense policy, many critics assert that he was not determined enough that he was still has it has a tend. so this is a very friendly and warm excha

u. s and germany in pledging additional aid to ukraine.tain says it is sending sophisticated medium range rocket systems to ukraine . the announcement prompted the kremlin to warn a repercussions if those weapons are fired into russia. at the same time in eastern ukraine. russian troops are bombing the donbass region, launching a wave of strikes into the area overnight. house speaker nancy pelosi and congresswoman barbara lee met with ukrainian immigrants and refugees in san francisco. pelosi and lee held a roundtable discussion congressional action being taken to support ukraine to defend itself against russia's invasion. members of the bay area ukrainian community shared their stories. one woman spoke of how she lost both of her parents. this. for is awful. ah! i know that many people lost their you know, children or children lose their parents. we will never forget this for sure. i will never forgive this for sure. pelosi also talked about her recent trip to ukraine, where she met with president vladimir zelensky to discuss topics inclu

germany doing and off and is germany doing enough foster? well, there has been a lot of pressure by nato allies on germany and, and now they are stepping forward. the u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin yesterday mentioned germany very positively and pointing out that the german government had now decided to send 3. i'll be at not for multiple runt launch rocket systems to ukraine and that's something the u. s. is providing for the u. k is providing 3 and germany is providing 3 as well. so that's something that certainly is very welcome to. but as your previous guest explained, there are a lot of questions about why germany didn't do more and didn't do it sooner. and i think that the country, asking those questions a, with the most emotion is of course ukraine. but again, as you, as defense secretary austin pointed out yesterday, when you're in the middle of a war and nothing can come fast enough, it's never going to be enough. and so he said it's understandable that ukraine is, is not happy with the speed or quantity of weapons that are coming. and germany does have a lot of questions to answer about whether whether it could have done this better and

u. s. canada, the u. k, france, germany, italy, and japan. their home to 10 percent of the world's population, but account for a 3rd of global economic output. germany holds the rotating presidency of the group . of this meeting will be dominated by a daunting set of crises with russia's war and ukraine and climate change. talking the agenda, but as dw richard walker reports, these issues are nothing new for the g 7. germany's baltic sea coast, 2007. our gl immacule hosting, one of the 1st major summits of her career is chancellor. it's name the g h. that's right, back then it was still the g 8, a group of 7 rich liberal democracies plus russia also on board. vladimir putin was there and some of the photos even made it look quite friendly. seen from to day, it looks like a parallel universe. and yet all was not, well, putin was angry about us plans for a missile defense system would be just a year later he would invade georgia. but other challenges were mounting to the ga promised to tackle climate change. or at least it sort of did. in this

and moscow has confirmed that yet another of his generals was killed during your visit to the front. the u. s. d u. k. and germany have moved to counter russian firepower by pledging to st. ukraine rocket launchers with a range of up to 80 kilometers russians. foreign minister doubled down on the kremlin, defined response mobile to the booth children. i can only add that the longer the range of weapons. yes. apply the further we will move the front lines away from our territory. deline on which neo nazis couldn't threaten. the russian federation was intimacies cuz he was in a war mark by russian set backs and stiff ukrainian resistance. it won't be easy to back. such words with action dw corresponded down to their schultz is in keith. what more can you tell us about the fight for the east? there is heavy fighting going on in many parts of the don bus region, especially in the key city of several. don net sca in some parts of the city there is so intense a street fighting continuing, but the situation on the ground is said changing every hour. ukrainian officials say commanders say that they still have enough for

germany has significant is that it is indeed significant. and it also comes at a time when relations between germany and the u. s. are in high point, you may remember that especially during the presidency of donald trump relations between both countries, suffered one problem after the next, even before that, during the presidency of barack obama. there were certain differences between both countries. i do expect that in this bilateral meeting, some of the issues where they may be not c, i to, i will still be discussed. but when you look what they will say in that press conference afterwards, i do expect that he will all be about is renewed relationship between germany and the u. s. renewed relationship in light, also of russia's aggression, as they call it, also in support of ukraine. and there are certain elements of that relationship where i think the united states is quite happy with the way germany is doing things . for example, they're all f shows his announcement that germany would increase military spending, something that the u. s. had for a long time wanted, or the fact that germany is also sending weapo

and the u. k. have now joined germany and the u. s. in offering more advanced weaponry to help defend ukraine guy in the kremlin claims, new military 8 wouldn't stop russian advances, saying it will only further prolong the wall is undeterred. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski called for more weapons in a speech to luxembourg. parliament outlining the enormity of what ukraine has already lost. stolen, mister, wouldn't you be controllable by herself to day? the occupiers control almost 20 percent of our territory. my. that's almost 125000 square kilometers. now this is much larger than the area of all the better looks countries combine util. rosalyn was in almost 300000 square meters, are contaminated with unexploded mines in ammunitions scenario them. the yuki narrows animals, russian forces are pushing forward towards ukrainian, held cities in the dumbass region. the shelling here is relentless. russia now controls most of the city of soviet odon, ask, closing in on full control of the loo hunter, region of the dumbass. while our

they have and of course these announcements by germany and the u. s. a met with a sigh of relief. very welcome news here in ukraine. you say it's been weeks now will really since the beginning of this complex that you have been holding on the international community for weapon support with a call to been getting louder in recent weeks as russia do make these quite a festive gains on bass region. and in the 8th of the country, the calls have been getting loud, so definitely being met with enthusiasm. i don't think it'll be the end of calls for weapons from ukraine, but suddenly sigh of relief being felt here. however, when these weapons will arrive in the next question, and whether or not they'll be too late for the ukrainians to be able to make games or re re take the best that has been taken already. still remains to be seen. if you could paint us a picture of the situation in the east all the ukrainians able to spend off the russian offensive. well, the short answer to that at the moment, unfortunately, for the ukrainians is nose i've been really struggling to hold back russia.

u. s. also getting announcements on wednesday from germany, back in the weapons that they're going to be sending over. and this includes 3 multi launch walking systems. now the u. s. secretary defense saying that literally, within the next few weeks, ukraine is going to have this capability of firing long range missiles. and what we've really got a sense of today is nato allies really doubling down on their support. the ukraine when it comes to weaponry. when cube has been insisting house in it that it needs more and more weapons from the west. how's that going down? know what's really interesting as we have heard over the last few days. this figure being bandied around that ukraine isn't getting 10 percent to what's been promised . and that's the question that has been put over and over to officials with nato allies across the globe. that in fact, our question was put to the defense secretary from the u. s. to day, and he responds to that person by faith, who has said that at the response from the person who asked the question said, it's the am under deputy secretary defense in ukraine. and he said, well
