ukraine needs an embargo on russian energy. ukraine needs more arms. ukraine needs financial help. and during the early stages of the war, when many western officials thought that ukraine will fall in a matter of days, the support was pretty slow and many in ukraine thought that the u.s. basically gave up on ukraine. but then u.s. obviously bolstered its support, increased military spending on ukraine, and now we don't see any criticism in ukraine concerning the u.s. >> yeah, and we see that support being announced, again, in the last few hours. we heard also from secretary austin who said he believes -- the u.s. believes ukraine can win the war, and really secretary blinken said russia is losing the war. is this a morale boost, would you say, to ukrainian soldiers right across the country? >> obviously it's a morale boost. obviously ukrainian officials, western officials saying ukraine is winning is helping the ukrainian army to hold on. obviously this is not exactly true, i would say, but it is very important that the world backs ukraine and that the ukrainian soldiers feel the s

ukraine needs help for victory. they need our help when the war ends. as president biden says, our military help goes straight to the front where they protect ukrainian freedom directly. to the fighters who defend this lie now, my ukrainian friends, we understand what a heavy burden you are carrying now, and we know. and you should know that we will all help you , so we are here today in order to to strengthen the arsenal of ukrainian democracy with the strengthening of ukrainian defense capabilities , germany has moved forward on the approval of delivery of cheetah anti-aircraft self-propelled guns to ukraine , the minister of defense announced today that they will be needed to protect ukrainian air from the ground, journalists also reminded christine lambrex that ukraine asked for marder infantry fighting vehicles and leopard tanks received an application for permission to supply them from a german defense concern however, this decision still provokes disputes with the government coalition, accordingly it has not yet been approved by us we will intens

anna brikova of the ukraine and ukraine 24 marathon channels the only news well, in the meantime, russia the most under-action country in the world and it actually, as we see, is not at all confused. well, let's see, because in the background of this, you know this unprecedented military strength and unity, i was personally pleased with yesterday's meeting of many friends in ukraine at the german rammstein base at the base of the us air force, a strategic meeting of the advisory group on the defense of ukraine was held there with the participation of more than 40 heads of the ministry of defense of various countries. ukraine was represented by minister of defense oleksiy reznikov and deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, yevhen masyuk, the meeting was held by the minister of the united states, louis dostiny, this meeting was dedicated to strengthening the defense capabilities of ukraine, consolidating the efforts of the international community to supply the necessary weapons and military equipment to ensure the critical needs of our army, the armed forces of ukraine i

in moldova , putin should not be able to spread this damaging war beyond ukraine, which is what ukraine these are not old soviet- era weapons, but new nato weapons to prepare for putin to open new fronts. we must recognize that this war will last another month and perhaps years, it is time to think about how to strengthen european security in the long term. perspective. well, that is, the subjects of her majesty call on the whole world to fight against russia to the last ukrainian. they probably reconciled themselves with this, preoccupied in britain with the events in moldova, there, following the stories of the british press, they decided that putin was opening the second front in transnistria in this way. although in britain itself , in a month, 53% of citizens will choose between heating and food, the world tells us. well, now the front pages of not only the british, but also the world press. we read russia promises to hit on britain and british diplomat. in kiev, this is how the west perceived the statement of the ministry of defense, in which , for the sake of justice, not a word

and why did ukraine -- why come to ukraine? because it's like colonizers in ancient times. they need our wealth and people. russia has already departed hundreds of thousands and conducted more than 2,000 just simply conducted them. and they continue to do so. russia wants to turn ukraine into silent slaves. the russian military are looting openly that cities and villages they have captured. this is why it's looting. they are stealing everything starting with food, ending with earrings, gold earrings that are pulled out and covered with blood. we are dealing with a state that is turning the leader -- this undermines the whole architecture of global security and allows for them to go unpunished, so they are doing everything they can. if this continues, the countries will rely only on the power of their own arms to ensure their security and not on international law, not rely on international institutions. the united nations, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to close the un? do you think the time of international law is gone, if the answer is no, then you need to act immedia

there is a possibility ukraine did, if ukraine did, good for them.ght have spent the team blowing up on the ground, we may never know but it may be the first of many attacks by ukraine, i hope they can carry that out. jon: bret ask him about the protections of other nations. of course the question is whether or not ukraine put joint nato at the center of the war but here is president zelenskyy's response when asked about that. >> short of nato in article five protection you are saying group of nations provide security guarantees. as president biden offered the u.s. as one of those countries? >> it is hard for us to talk about nato because they don't want to admit us. it's a mistake because of weak joint nato, we would make nato stronger. we are not a week state. jon: he didn't specifically answer the question as to what the united states offered to guaranty security of the future of ukraine but he made a case again for ukraine's admission for nato, that would make latimer putin not if it happened. >> president zelenskyy was being very polite because

for ukraine, it may come too late.nt: dw news'political correspondent benjamin gruber albert told me the chancellor is facing increasing pressure, including from his government. guest: as you can see, the frustration is growing also weaken the government. it is not just demanding clear action by the government, criticizing the reluctance by olaf scholz also to send these heavy weapons that even his foreign minister pledged for earlier this week and asked other european countries. of course the pressure is growing for them to take a clear stance. there has been this discussion also about the russian -- the german president that has overshadowed the discussion of weapons deliveries. but as we have heard, there is frustration not just from the government, but from all german politicians to get out of this rubble and to see what can be done right now. brent: i.d.s the ones that the ukrainians are asking for? why is chancellor show up so reluctant to send them as it seems? guest: ukrainian president president zelenskyy post

our glory to ukraine is about how ukrainians know how to help each other in ukraine and abroad

we begin this hour with an attack on people trying to flee eastern ukraine. ukraine says russian rocket strikes had a crowded train in crime, a tourist where hundreds of people had gathered to bore trains and leave the area. dozens of people are reported dead dozens more injured, and ukraine is calling it another russian war, crime. scenes of tarnish and destruction. in easton, ukraine streets littered with smouldering debris and the bodies of dozens killed. the governor of don't ask said at least 5 children are among the dead. after several rockets hid chrome, a tossed station on friday, already speaking to the finished parliament. president, lord me, is the lensky condemned russia for striking clear civilian targets. they hit yeah, but little foolish. i will start with what happened this morning when you write russian forces hit the train station in our city and cremmit ask an ordinary train station with ordinary people, cannibalization. there are no military personnel there, and there were people who are waiting for a train to get to a safe territory when russian forces hit them with

but they hide their losses after the meeting with the armed forces of ukraine. of course, they hide it. 000 than in chechnya, well, officially, i will tell you this officially. 259 yes, i will remind you according to the official data of the kremlin. in the two chechen wars, the russian army lost a little more than 10,000 of its soldiers, although researchers believe that this figure is underestimated by at least four times, or the authorities did not include it in the lists the losses of military contractors who were often recruited among the unemployed and homeless , the occupiers did not change their tactics in ukraine kostyantyn melnikov yevhen blows facts ictv - the only news the lower house of the parliament of canada recognized russia's crimes in ukraine are genocide, because they pointed out that there is sufficient evidence of mass atrocities by the russian military in peaceful cities, and in particular, deliberate killings of civilians, torture, forced deportation of children and rape. against ukraine should be considered genocide, it was genocide that

we defend our freedom we defend our cities of ukraine ukraine glory to ukraine everyone talks abouting our country ukraine protects the whole world from the russians we have always defended democracy and were the first to create a democratic constitution 10% of the world grain exports are provided by ukraine, we are accelerating the global digital transformation and were the first in the world to create a state in a smartphone and today we are for the sake of democratic values ​​and our victory united the whole world, the world that knows that ukraine is a country of free people - victory is ours, millions of us are forced to live away from home, that is, they came here, they lost their jobs, but they are alone with their problems. if you moved from the territory where hostilities were or continue, use support program and receive up to three thousand hryvnias per person per month, receive the status of an internally displaced person and payments in action, update the application and use the services section, the help of an internally displaced person will appear in in appendix a, th

it ’s just that this city in eastern ukraine is a russian city in eastern ukraine is beautiful remembers from 2014. here is the offensive of the russian forces, while being slowly exposed to everything, and from the fact that it is necessary to break into the enemy’s planned defenses, which the kiev regime has formed over 8 years in this particular direction in general, but it’s worth saying that now the russian troops are facing, perhaps, the most powerful attached area. the formation of the kiev regime in the east of ukraine in general, the essence is that and if the essence is that as a result, but the action of a-a russian units from formations, and in different directions in atl. uh, maybe all ukrainian in the east of ukraine is here are 70 to 90,000, and the man fights are fierce. uh, it’s quite difficult, but due to the fact that the ukrainian formations skillfully use artillery and counter-battery weapons. e, at the same time, while avoiding direct shooting contacts. uh, but withdraw after the russian forces manage to breach the defenses. after the russian artillerymen manage to

host: how many people do we know are in ukraine, fighting in ukraine? guest: it is somewhere between 30 million and 40 million people. ukraine is about the size of france. it is a big country. 40 million, 45 million people, and a huge global diaspora. he would take a long time to get from one end of ukraine to the other. it is big. there is a lot of fertile land there. it was fantastic natural resources. -- there is fantastic national -- natural resources. keep in mind the size of the population, even with all of this displacement, the level of education and the level of organization of people there, and the determination, and that this is multigenerational. this has been going on, and the kinds of -- my facebook feed, my instagram feet, twitter feed of my friends, family, colleagues has really been changing as people have been realizing, i am a citizen of ukraine. you think up every morning and think, i'm a citizen of the united states. sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. what happened in ukraine over the last 10 years is people making the conscious

in april 2021, ukraine's president followed him. u zalinski looked to the west for support. germany and france sought to mediate eastern european countries, were alarmed. the e u was divided. some favored diplomacy, others argued, russian president vladimir putin had little interest in talking with escape of that royal peace at the european or e level. there's still really no well thought out strategy on how to deal with russia, human myth, osland own gate. you and the gun union, some feared that puddings go on ukraine, was to reassert russian power by undermining western unity. mooney, go vladimir, christine, or vladimir putin. it's all geopolitics and geo economics. is you, he has no respect for anyone to his people, bison, ukraine, once part of the soviet union was vulnerable to proteins, re venture st ambitions. he missed them at question. as president put, we must assume that president hutton won't keep his word and me won't play by the rules. and will be elaine, it's actually military force give i dances. it's not a boom genie

sure ukraine might say that. but history tells us situations like these and badly look at all the state of the art american weapons that the taliban got its hands on. when it came to power in afghanistan, libya, iraq, syria, all examples of how weapons plus chaos equals a lot of bad people getting their hands on guns so shore even though the west wouldn't send its own people to fight for its ukrainian ally, it can give itself a pat on the back for flooding the country with weapons, but it remains to be seen what criminal elements the west is once again, inadvertently creating and we'll have to fight further down the line. the wife of the arrested ukrainian opposition lead a victim of it shook has slammed the detention of her husband and criticized the ukrainian government. her words came during a press conference in moscow and you did is the village shuttle. they crossed the line. the situation got out of control. i want to emphasize once again that victor met, that jack is not just a citizen of ukraine. he is a

for ukraine. it may come too late. but the ws political correspondent benjamin alvarez gruber told me the german chancellor is under increasing pressure, including from within his own government. as you can see, brand a, the frustration is drawing also within the government. it's not just the position, demanding clear action by the government criticizing a, the reluctance by olaf shoulds also to sent this heavy weapons that even he's a foreign minister and alina bab, oak pledged for earlier this week and ask other european countries to do that. and of course, the pressure is growing for them to take a clear stands. i mean, there has been this whole discussion also about the german president that has overshadowed the discussions on weapon near deliveries. but as we've just heard from the former ukranian at foreign minister, there is frustration not just on the government, but on the whole in german politicians to get out of this bubble and to see what can be done. now. now are these the ones that the ukrainians are aski

yes, but it must be efficient and to create the final value precisely in ukraine in order for ukraine to develop, then there may be some effect. and you are convinced that the forces to convince foreigners of ukrainian government officials will be enough to convince them because i did not think about it even what you just mentioned, and now i see that it is logical for the final product to be here, for ukraine to start not importing the nails that you mentioned, but producing them. and this is important, but for this, i can imagine what long negotiations there will be, because undoubtedly everyone wants to leave behind itself is the final product and the added value, and then ukraine comes and says, come on, you will be a factory with us, so that we have a final added value and that it is large and that we control it, the biggest question for me here is that ukraine does not remain an island after the war the territory of grain and steel. i would still really like for us to be a high-tech country and it is possible to do it, and we need it first of all for our own security and for the

k is armed forces minister say's ukraine. should be able to target russian territory on do so with nato's weapons. also, once again, found a huge variety of different mines gradient positions. again, mine that ukraine claim that told the international community it doesn't help. and more evidence appears to emerge about ukrainian forces using bond anti personnel mines despite claims that munitions were destroyed, years ago, 100 international treaties with one minute past 6, leaving this tuesday here in moscow. welcome to the global use updates wherever you're catching the program from today. i'm in the un secretary general house call for multi polarity in the world that says antonio gutierrez is facing mounting criticism by western leaders for today's visit to russian over the conflict in ukraine. kia also slammed the trip on the u. k warned, it could be used as a propaganda tool by moscow. the u. n. chief, whoever says it's important not to forget about the values of a multi polo world. this very importance, even in these mom

as a state that on the front line of the struggle against the new terrain we are with ukraine and we will give it everything that is needed i really wanted you to hear those very words because now many congressmen well, i am not talking about the american press, but it is the congressmen who compare what is happening now with what is happening just on our eyes, what was voted today and with the events of the second world war, when the united states provided enormous aid for the land lease, it was hushed up later in soviet histories, but by and large, well, what american historians say and weapons and technology, those cars that were asked once at the end of the war and with zelenliz they helped the soviet union and the allies very much to win that war and the war with nazism. well, that is why they are very symbolically compared now. whose side are they on? well, the most important thing is that, in addition to these words of support, they really need this and what we talked about at the very beginning, that the ink under the e-e from baidan's signature should really dry as soon as p

forces operating in ukraine. and the question before the invasion was what were they going to do when the russian troops crossed the border in terms of direct action? i want to quote here from the border. it said ukrainian officials expect and have a decapitation strategy against them. now weeks into the war how do you assess those russian covert efforts and more direct action? >> well, there's evidence there has been so sabotage activity, blowing a bridge, trying to destroy and so on. there was a strategy to try to seize kyiv quickly and put in a pup lt regime using these kind of connections already in place inside kyiv. with the russians pulling back that strategy i think has been abandoned and has been unsuccessful so far. the ukrainian intelligence service is reported to have shot a member of their delegation in the peace negotiations for being a russian agent about to hand over information. so i think they've also got a strong sense about who these people are now in ukraine. >> gosh, i -- yeah, that's pretty

it keith this week to show germany solidarity with ukraine until ukraine's president zalinski told him not to come. apparently shy, my years passed his intensive ties with russia, made him a persona non grata in keith. ukraine reportedly wants the german chancellor, olaf shoulds to visit instead, after all, the chancellor. not the president as sway over cindy weapons to help ukraine fight against the russians. but the snub has reportedly robbed chancellor sholtes the wrong way. now what? i'm broke off in berlin. this is the day ah, my colleague and friend polish president and j duda recently suggested that the 2 of us travel to cuba to send a strong signal of joint european solidarity with ukraine. i was ready to do that. that was not wanted by give ah, also coming up you as president biden has accused russian, president putin, of committing genocide in ukraine and the kremlin has now responded could you any squished, you mean, lee categorically disagree. and consider this kind of effort to distort the situation unacceptable. kimberly marizza, as we said, the full m. this is hardly acc

for ukraine. it may come too late or let's get more of this now from our political correspondence. benjamin alvarez, a group of going to see you, benjamin. we just heard lawmakers from within the governments coalition demanding the delivery of weapons. will this happen now? as you can see, brand a, the frustration is drawing also within the government is not just the position demanding clear action by the government criticizing a the reluctance by all of scholes. also to sent this heavy weapons that even he's a foreign minister and eliana bab oak pledged for earlier this week and ask other european countries to do that. and of course the pressure is growing for them to take a clear stands. i mean, there has been this whole discussion also about the german president that has overshadowed the discussions on weapon near deliveries. but as we've just heard from the former ukranian at foreign minister, there is frustration not just on the government, but on the whole. in german politicians to get out o

uh, because, uh, security requirements for ukraine's international security.mm, our ukrainian colleagues did not connect with uh, s. e with such a concept as e, and the internationally recognized borders of ukraine were taken out of brackets. uh, crimea sevastopol and the newly recognized russian republic of donbass well, with certain reservations , and soon. after russia demonstrated that there was a provocation in bucha to continue the dialogue, and the ukrainians again returned to the agenda issues on security guarantees for crimea and donbass. unfortunately, after reaching these agreements and after our e, in my opinion, it is enough e clearly demonstrated. e, intentions to create favorable conditions for the continuation of negotiations. we faced a provocation in the village butch to which the russian army has nothing to do . and we know who did it. we know who prepared this provocation. by what means, what kind of people worked on this a and e, the position of our negotiators with ukraine on a further settlement, it is cardinal. after this changed they m

glory to ukraine, to the heroes, glory to ukraine from the military aspect of the prohibition aspect,at is, the most important thing for us now, for our tv viewers, it may be interesting that the most important thing is what is happening at the front on the fronts, even if we talk about the east and the south, this is an extremely skillful and modern tactic of the armed forces of ukraine, which consists in two things, first - to prevent serious losses among their own, first of all, and secondly, this is still a 21st-century war tactic, when the more we receive modern weapons, including from western partners, the more and more successfully we use it against the aggressor, inflicting huge losses on him, which, by the way, deprives him of the opportunity to seriously advance through the territory of ukraine. it doesn’t matter whether to the left or right or deep, but our armed forces of ukraine deprive the aggressor of the opportunity to advance, in any case, according to those plans already adjusted for the second or third time by putin and the kremlin, in fact, especially what i see. n

ukraine has become an opportunity.trictly speaking, bring out those textbooks that were found in libraries, at least in eastern ukraine a. let's oh content, let's talk about what you are most interested in. well, you know here. uh, the point is that these two books. this is, in fact, methodical recommendations for teachers. ah. it is clearly written here that such heroes as bandera shukhivych. these should be those people whose role in the history of ukraine should certainly be discussed in the classroom and the children should necessarily reflect positively and equal them, of course, but you showed that there are some textbooks in those, i didn’t become them either bring, but bandera and shukhevych - these are two portraits, which are very much present in such educational ones. so i just, when i entered, i was very surprised that the study of herod had touched this one. here is the fourth class, it seems to be the nature of conducting. so we open. this is the most harmless textbook and school programs that i personall

glory to ukraine. so the russians continue to raze the ukrainian donbas to the ground in order to establish full control over the territory of the medonetsk and luhansk regions, this would give them the opportunity to get a land corridor to the annexed crimea, however, they wanted to capture kyiv in three days and in a week, so they could not overcome the donbas, so the rashists use the tactics of total destruction to the unguided missiles prohibited by international conventions, they again added phosphorous projectiles, so what are the russians doing on the eastern front and how do our army oppose them in yevhen's material, a straw leaf. this is how under the sounds of explosions in the luhansk region begins the evacuation of those who want to leave is picked up at several points and it is more convenient for people and there are no mass gatherings against or not at every stop you can hear the arrivals of planes very close by in minutes thousands of people start to go out into the street from the base

in the form of ukraine. moreover, the poles are trying to remind that wait, let's go to war somehow. in ukraine, yes, as the ambassador says, and let's somehow say the poles in the donbass, and let's also without us. here, let's somehow stop in ukraine. here we will incinerate ukraine. this is not discussed. that is, there will be nothing left for ukraine. and somehow we're going to get there. and there are a number of markers for this, that is, more already announced the call for reservists. piston has already said about the call for volunteers, that is, this process is already underway there and i think that in fact it has been going on for a couple of months. and now, just this week, they started legalizing it and started creating some kind of public organizations that attract volunteers, and then op, and there suddenly appeared several tens of thousands of volunteers, therefore, i don’t completely exclude the development of such events and the fact that now ukraine as exhaustion. she'll be fueled already

for ukraine. i know that your efforts to do so are incredibly important. i want to talk to about the sharing of intelligence. there was a great deal of concern initially when the conflict began that the u.s. had actionable intelligence, that could assist the ukrainians and having the ability to defend their country. and that there were delays in getting that intelligence to ukraine. are you comfortable with the speed at which our ability is to share that information with ukraine and do you think of looking to strengthen ukraine are there gaps are there gaps or areas we need to address? >> congressman i am comfortable but i wanted to speed up. i was -- i will always say that even if it occurs in one second i want tomorrow it will -- to be have a second. the dni's participation at the very start of this campaign were revolutionary. as what i needed most to do was get the data to the nations to get it to be convinced soonest to make the appropriate moves based off the disposition and periphery of ukr

of the effort to defend ukraine. this act is rooted in the lend-lease program of world war ii which president roosevelt proposed in january, 1941, and which allowed our government to lend or to lease war supplies and equipment to any nation whose security was defined as vital to the defense and the security of the united states. passage of that act enabled great britain and winston churchill to keep fighting and to survive the fascist nazi bombardment until the united states could enter the war. president zelenskyy has said that ukraine needs weapons to sustain themselves, and president biden has answered that call with billions in military assistance since russia's full-blown invasion began on february 24, a day that will live in infamy in the freedom-loving world. on april 21, last thursday, president biden announced we will be sending an additional $800 million in military aid to ukraine, the eighth such installment, which will include 72 how witser, 72 tactical vehicles, and more than 120 phoenix ghost tactical d

objectives in ukraine?e of the strong approval of most americans has been careful all along to rule out any direct military engagement by the u.s. in the conflict between russia and ukraine. now, while his administration is backing president zelenskyy of your crate as he fights to save his country, its careful limits of what it will do. no u.s. forces of course. no, tonight no fly zone to recheck your grades under siege. note to any military support for ukraine other than those weapons that are deemed clearly defensive. even if he articulates is carefully limited support for the country, the president blurts out wildly bellicose statements most notoriously of course his passionate plea last weekend that seem to indicate he wants to oust vladimir putin. >> will have a different future, a brighter future written democracy encrypt principal. hope, light, recency, dignity, possibilities. for god sake this man cannot remain in power. >> is now the white house quickly walks back that statement as it continues to

this provoked a war between ukraine and russia, and in a war, ukraine needs to strike deep into the territorythe enemy in order to violate it logistics and fuel supply to destroy ammunition depots. this is part of the war. can they then use the british weapons, the same ones we gave them for defense, if they try our weapons for this purpose, will this not cause problems? yes, i think it's the case that the international community has provided ukraine with a range of weapons that can be struck across the border with russia. but that doesn't have to be a problem. indeed, all over the world, countries use weapons that they imported from other countries and when these weapons are used. you do not blame the country that produced them, the country that used them. in the russian military department they reacted with lightning speed, they just announced that they drew attention to the statement of the deputy minister of defense of great britain, kipi, who called on ukraine to use nato weapons, with which ukraine is being pumped right now to strike at the territory of russia, direct provocation by lon

live in lviv, ukraine.me places. they face an increasingly assertive ukrainian military. with the conflict into the second month, ukrainian are seizing back territory lost in the early days of the invasion. kremlin says the main goal is control of the donbas region.

glory to ukraine. this night is simply a colossal amount of phosphorus bombs, 50 air strikes , art rockets and everything that a barbarian can use against humanity. who can answer why we are alone against aviation and artillery ships that have been working non-stop for 64 years. that's right. i didn't make a mistake because mariupol people day in and year out, i have a question, who gave that time to moscow to hide the crimes in mariupol, the crimes on the scale of which fighters the whole world is afraid to realize who gave the horde the opportunity to import paid propagandists into a city where not long ago you could hear the happy laughter of little ukrainians forever asking how are you are you okay ? military words and actions are one and the same, that is why it is difficult for us to realize that they promise us but do not act do not act while a soldier dies from wounds received on the battlefield dies slowly dies under air strikes in the hospital, the hero is our hero and we are unable to help h

ukraine is ever present in the news. ready so the average american who watches the news is definitely aware of the conflict. i don't think they're aware of the, the nuances or the details. but because of the want, very one sided, slanted approach. it's been taken by the media and the government selling this war . they, they bought into the notion of ukraine, good russia, bad. and therefore, are at least theoretically supportive of this provision of luxury. the irony is, you know, we're actually weakening ukrainians by giving them this weapon, ria, the logistics of sustaining this and maintain it is a nightmare. ukraine won't be able to do this. and i've said this before, and i'll say it again here. now, every ukrainian who operates an american provided weapon system is doomed to die in the united states instead of helping ukrainians is help is murdering ukrainian. just this is the statement that now going from giving to some and taking away from the other. the white house has also asked for congressional approval to have

in fact, days after russia invaded ukraine at ukraine, formally applied for membership of the european union. and you had countries like poland pressuring at the block to fast track ukraine's application process, given the developments ad that had taken place. there. there is some indication, as we've been reporting on to debbie, exclusively this week that that is going to be happening that at ukraine's application is being processed as we speak at that. and the commission is forming an opinion or writing an opinion on that. press on that application that it will then give to you leaders to consider in june as a fast track that might be, it would still take years. and before the process is concluded, and before at ukraine is given. that membership, but it does appear to be on the gender and says, work is and way for the process as we speak. terry christine, thank you very much, shar correspond, christine manuel in brussels. and here's a look at a few other stories related to the war in ukraine. the united nations general assembly of suspending russia from its human rights council over

after meeting with putin, he is going to go to ukraine ukraine is a state that has not given a damn aboutational law. this is a state in which the military is covered by living people. this is a ban. you who are now sitting in the dungeons of azu steel and do not let people out, using them uh, like as a shield ukraine is the state that purposefully shoots, and the ambulances the state that sent. well, purposefully announced from the arrows of journalists. i have a question where does the sandwich go? with whom is he going to meet, that is, according to what kind of humanitarian law, according to some such canons, which were determined in the forty-ninth year after the war, that the state must respect, and respect, at least, the interests of the people of civilians . yes, that is, where is he going, who is he going to save? why is he going to save militants? why can't the gutierres support no announced, well, this is washington dc. give it again, give the command to your militants to release people. release the children, we guarantee, that is, putin is officially goochi. i'm glad i said, w

and ukraine? that is my question, sir. guest: i think those are good questions. and what you are getting at is the link between this russian invasion and the broader question of nato's enlargement since the end of the cold war in the early 1990's up until the present day. and the russians clearly have indicated that they oppose that enlargement, in general. particularly to ukraine. which has all sorts of geographic, economic, cultural, and political significance for russia. they have been warning about this problem not just since the end of the soviet union, but in the latter days of the cold war. mikhail gorbachev as the kremlin leader under the soviet union was concerned about the possibility that the breakup of the soviet union could lead to the separation of ukraine and russia, and he regarded that as fraught with all sorts of political and insecurity -- and security problems and he also warned against this. and putin has vented his anger over this many times over the last 15 to 20 years. so,

now it does not work in ukraine. line, going from speed not to kiev, bridges are also blown up there, and it is already much more difficult to transfer weapons along roads, and in any case, moscow once already warned the west that all columns and convoys with nato weapons on the territory of ukraine also become targets for our missiles. depending on the world on coal now stronger than ever, although many thought that this type of fuel. bloomberg’s conclusions will soon disappear completely, in which it captures the revival of coal energy in europe, preparing to restart the decommissioned thermal power plants and the old mine is waiting for mothballing, while the uk plans to start developing new deposits for the first time in 30 years. and that's it. this, as is already clear, is explained by the need to reduce dependence on russian resources. and where did the environmental agenda suddenly disappear against this background, yevgeny tishkovets wondered eugene greetings a. after all, until recently, greens around the w

will no no major european deliver to ukraine. today, this very effective conference was held as often abbot and the important decisions to make. and i welcome this decision also. and, and so explain to us why shipping heavy weapons directly to ukraine was bad last week, but it's ok now it wasn't bad last week. i think our population is also supporting. that'd be cool. haven't and coming over as well. so all the solutions that are available and not solutions coming in at the speed of retreat. so we thought about that who and i think that delivery part of the system is a very good solution to protect ukrainian soda as well as proposed comes the also deliver grenade from fire from a tech helicopters, as well as weaponized and russian. yeah, you say it wasn't regarded as, as a bad decision last week. and yet the chancellor was so clearly against this. and you seem to be sort of selling. this is not so much a change more to sort of the nesting of the policy. but you know, it changes the change i would say just the next logical step an

ukraine? sec. kirby: i am not going to get into the specifics but pacific -- specifications on the howitzer. my understanding is it does have a very longer-range. but i am not going to get into the specifics of it. it should be clear to all of you already that i am no expert on american artillery. i am certainly not an expert on russian artillery. so i cannot tell you how much better it is then so be. as an american system, we are very confident in its abilities. more critically, the early feedback that we are getting from the ukrainians poor undergoing training is that they are very happy with the performance of the system and they are learning it quickly. training is going very well. and they are excited about being able to use the system in the field. we have been nothing but consistent here. we want ukraine to win this. which means we want ukraine sovereign again and we do not question -- want russian forces in any part of ukraine. it is really up to the ukrainians to determine come on epi

this is what he wants to do, he is attacking ukraine on purpose.is doing it because he is trying to weaken ukraine. i think he was initially sceptical of that, but i think as he tried to talk with putin, tried to do a couple of prisoner exchanges, i think he came to the view that actually putin is fighting a war that he wants to fight. later that year, the only meeting between zelensky and president putin took place in paris, with the leaders of france and germany acting as chaperones. but the talks were frosty and went nowhere. paris was the endpoint for zelensky�*s attempts to strike a deal. until this war broke out, zelensky�*s time as president was showing some signs of fizzling out. he'd promised a lot and, perhaps understandably, was struggling to deliver on it. his once sky—high ratings in the opinion polls were starting to fall. close allies from the election campaign — zelensky called them his "dream team" — turned on him within a year. comedian brought incompetent people, who now run major government institutions. 0r misrun major governme
