there was no doubt and zalinski didn't want to hear it. it's not just biden, though zalinski is cabinets, seems to not like listening to western officials at all. at last month's world economic forum in davos, former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, called on zalinski to make territorial concessions to russia in the interest of peace for that's zalinski said he felt like he was in munich in 1938, preparing to make concessions to the nazis at the same time, ukraine's internet database of enemies of the states mere authority has accused the former us statesmen of spreading fascist propaganda. more recently, kissinger double down saying a place needs to be found for russia. at the end of the war, the question will now be how to end the war. and it's, and a place has to be found for ukraine and a place has to be found for russia. if we don't want russia to become an outpost of china in europe, as the landscape continues his uncompromising position, economic consequences of unconditional support are piling up in the west. and the u . k.

now president zalinski want more, more tax would be likely this week. he said that last week, in fact the tax on ukraine and perhaps also outside of the country. now we saw the capital under attack over the weekend as well as other cities. now this, what is this as part of the military strategy? do you think? well, you know, interestingly of 2 months ago the you and sir general secretary, antonio gutierrez, was here and key from the ukrainian capital was in a shell that jess arthur was visiting now at wild leaders are gathered in germany for the g 7 and again rush, i is sewing it, it's muscles or so to so to speak. it's nothing unusual to have the layers, the as twice that it is a bit more unusual to see the capital a being being hit. the weight was yesterday several me sized fell. he and kia on the residential area and of course, dis, weedy down payment and mood here. you know, that was kind of stance off. her full sense of safety over 2 weeks as if the situation has been relate to be quiet in the capital and death has drastically changed. she is destr

the forum you west defense secretary lloyd austin reiterated his country's support for ukraine. zalinski warned that russia is posing a growing threat to international peace. russian propaganda is assiduous in sprinting in many countries. that does inflammation, campaign, dad, to russia's war against your grade as a stand simply something about night. so about the role of the united states, about the intention of the west to somehow advancing euro. but in reality, russia's boy against ukraine is not only about europe. it is about globally and pause, and st. russian leadership strives to discard all the achievements of the historical development of human time, particularly the system of international law, which we have to day. and it wants to come back to life of the 19th century, or even before that when it was impossible to ensure the harmonious d hm. on his development and well being for billions of people. we can now speak to the devil is rebecca readers who joins us now from here. hello to you, rebecca. so as we know, ukrainian forces are still fighting back russian troops mainly in

so rebecca, why is this membership bid so important to zalinski right now? if it's not going to happen in the foreseeable future. well, my am a zalinski has been pushing for this for some time, but it was the formal application to join me a you came to 4 days after rush or invaded ukraine. i'm in the urgency is perhaps obvious they're, they really looking for security assurances from the a you. but as for president, micron of france has stated and as we've seen from other a u. s. session processes, it is a very long process and this is something that is not going to happen overnight. that's something that wasn't on the line. the european commission tape will have been pains to get across to president salenti and i'm sure president zalinski also understands that. but this is a very important 1st step, and it is looking like the commission will rec men that baby grants is candidacy status and then it needs to go and be voted on by 27 members. therefore, amid therefore triggering a very, very lengthy process that could take indeed years or decades dw rebecca re

the european commission chief is promising progress soon. zalinski and the president of the european commission. ursula funder lang. as you know, the commission is currently preparing the recommendations of so called opinion for the e. u. member states. we have been working day and night on this assessment and i promised to you in april the of a lot of you that we will be tirelessly working on it. so the discussions today will enable us to finalize our assessment by the end of next week. the more lensky is king distress that is not just ukraine's fate on the line. andrew, that was a more now this is certainly a decisive moment. ini to not only for ukraine always on the european union, for the entire european continent, such as now will decide the future of the united europe, and whether there will be a future at all any with ukraine to reach that hoped for european future. it's defenders will have to hang on in the face of russia's overwhelming advantage in heavy weaponry that moscow has employed to devastating effect in savannah than yet . the strategic city in the don bass is now a

it will be a very civil meeting. president zalinski, probably very relieved. it's finally happening is made a lot of frustration that this hasn't, that it's taken so long for this high level meeting, but it is happening at last and it will be met with open arms. okay, of course many the details about should this visit by the 3 european leaders have not been released, or we now know that they're in iraq pain or tell us more about the significance of that location why they are there? yeah, it's been an incredibly, a top secret visit. as you can imagine, security is very, very tight, very high. only a very select member, members of the press that are traveling from europe with the delegation, have been able to go on the tour. as for security reasons, as you can imagine, they are going to be at least we know now that they are visiting a pain that has been confirmed. they're there at the moment. as you said. now these suburbs are just north of cave. we're, we're under occupation for some time. we know we've seen the devastating pictures all the with the war crimes

well certainly if we heard from you zalinski that he wants more and that he is grateful for the support that he's guessing will help. would he be able to say, of course we do not know what was discussed behind those doors. but and so the amount of my call has taken quite a lot of criticism, both for saying that an exception process could take decades, which is not what you crane for. and that one will have to talk to a futon soon. at the german charge of his part has stresses wherever he goes, it's a was an identical sentence that nothing will be done over the head of letting me zalinski and ukraine, and that it will be up to ukraine to say what they might be willing to put on the table, if anything, visit lensky has clamped down in recent days the saying that they would give an inch of the territory that also they want. previously, it sees territory on crimea, they want all of that back. so it would be a big surprise if behind the scenes that were seen, there was a completely different game going on, suggesting it to zalinski that he has to hand over something. what is though, the decl

does this visit change the perception of zalinski in ukraine? could he repair some of his damaged image? figured salt salt his image in ukraine. you're very right to say, hasn't been that good since the beginning in the beginning. people were quite impressed with some of the announcements, some of the changes that shalt announced early on. but ever since then, you know, i think people here have been very disappointed. certainly people on the street when you talk to them, say, please germany, please do something. what do you? chelsea is just simply not doing enough. it's a bit of a laughing stock if i could say so. you know, really people kind of dumb founded that they just appear to be sitting back and doing nothing. that isn't of course, quite the case. but definitely as i just mentioned, the weapons hadn't been coming in. they haven't been coming in fast enough. germany talking about, you know, deploying these weapons, maybe in the autumn. but as we know from what's happening in the front lines in the don't boss, things that needed sooner than

people once lived in queens, president volota mirror. zalinski says russia aims to wipe out every city and the eastern don bass region and says more artillery is needed to match russia to peer firepower. civilians are evacuated on a special train, plus green line for a controversial plan. britain's high court gives it's backing to the government scheme to deport asylum seekers from new k shores to rwanda in a bit to deter illegal entries. ah, i'm nichol further. welcome to the program ukraine's president volota mirror. zalinski says russia is trying to destroy every city and the eastern don bass region. russia's fire power in ukraine's industrial heartland is estimated to be at least 10 times greater than ukraine's and zalinski believes his troops won't be able to hold back. potent forces much longer without an increase supply of western weapons. as battles, rage on some $300.00 civilians from the don bass were taken to safer parts of the country on a special evacuation train today. with a smile to break the tension, the civilians and donuts are fleeing. as the shelling draws closer, w

for low to mid zalinski tours make a lie of where soldiers are fighting to prevent a russian advance along the black sea coast. also coming up, a sizzling summer arrives early in europe as cities across the continent experience record high temperatures, forests from spain, to germany, to come to the destructive force of climate change. ah, annexed by sir. welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has visited troops on the southern frontline, while his army battles a russian onslaught in the eastern don't bass region. ukrainian forces have also been fighting off attempts by russia to see more territory near the southern cities of mc alive and odessa, with little changed frontline positions and recent days ahead of nato. yet stolberg said, the war could go on for years. ah, inspecting the devastation with his own eyes. ukraine's president followed amid zalinski on his 1st tour of the southern front. in the strategic port of odessa and the embattled city of mc alive, the president awarded medals to the soldiers and doctors defending the front lines . his visit comes

we know that president zalinski talked about that in his latest video address. i'd like to listen to part of it now and then get your reaction. just for a moment, i am sure that we will soon receive an answer on the candidate status for ukraine. also. i am convinced that this decision can strengthen, not only our country yours, but the entire european union. she'll milestones what else needs to happen in europe to make it clear to skeptics that the very fact of keeping ukraine outside of the european union works against europe. you are to evil was the last key sounding very determined. but we have heard from some e leaders like the french president and man on la cron and others saying it's going to take years or maybe even decades for ukraine to join the european union. so rebecca, why is this membership bid so important to zalinski right now, if it's not going to happen in the foreseeable future? well, marianna zalinski has been pushing to this for some time, but it was a the formal application to join me a you came to 4 days after russia invaded ukraine. i mea

i think zalinski is a very, definitely happy with the outcome of today's tools. well, what about further military support? ukraine of course keeps on asking for more and heavier weapons. were there any pledges on this today? some small pledges. yeah, we saw some small pledges from france. they're going to send a couple more of these. caesar rocket launches that are very, you know, top notch. if you want the best on the market, they going to send some more of that. and of course you, as you just heard germany saying that they would continue supporting militarily, as long as is needed. unfortunately, most of what germany has promised hasn't arrived. certainly none of the bigger weapons that there, that ukraine desperately needs. none of it is actually arrived yet. so i think probably some minor disappointment from the ukrainian side that maybe there weren't some bigger announcements as when it came when it comes to military aid. but definitely very happy with the all the things that came out of the meeting. well, today's visit of the german ancient tine and romania

from berlin. ukrainian, president visits troops on the front line in southern ukraine. laudermill zalinski tours make a lie of where soldiers are fighting to prevent a russian advance along the black sea coast. also coming up, a sizzling summer arrives early in europe. as cities across the continent experienced record, high temperatures, forests from spain to germany, succumbed the destructive force of climate change and sudan could face the double head of a local and global food crisis. farmers are left sitting on their harvest and fields are going until after the government breaks its price, promised to wheat. farmers ah unexpired are welcome to the program ukrainian president bowler below to me as a lensky has visited troops on the southern front line. while his army battles a russian on slot in the eastern don bass region, ukrainian forces have also been fighting off attempts by russia to seize more territory near the southern cities of mc alive and odessa, with little shane frontline positions in recent days. the head of nato against dalton berg says the war could go on for years. ah,

now. zalinski warned that russia poses a growing threat to international peace. he was speaking at a summit and singapore, and he was calling on delegates there to resist russian imperialism now with the assault and don boss, showing no signs of letting up zalinski also renewed his appeals for heavy artillery. let's have a listen. ah, a relentless barraged from russian guns. as the battle for the dawn bus grinds on, ukraine has warned that russia is preparing to widen. it's offensive. now that's ever a done yet, sc is almost completely under russian control. moscow appears to be closing in on the next key town in the region. natalie, article optimed, the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on preparing troops for an offensive against lobbyist. but don, boss is not the only frontline for ukrainian defenders keeps troops in the south have warned. they are running low on ammo, as russian forces pushed towards the city of mich alive. it was against this backdrop that ukrainian president the load him, his lensky, addressed the world at the shangri la security summ

but also today when they're going to speak to ukrainian president zalinski. they are united in criticizing russia for its attack against ukraine, which has been defined as a brutal or other similar adjectives that are have been really critical against russia, but also in their support towards ukraine. and they are trying to shore the support not only with words, but also with practical plans. for example, there are discussions about possibly implementing a ban on gold imports from russia. gold imports that are a big source of income from russia and are mostly exported to g 7 countries. but also there are talks about implementing a price cap on a loyal exports from russia. and these are all things that the leaders may want to present to zalinski to day. and they really want to show the ukranian president that the g 7 countries are there also in the long term bill helping the world deal with climate change is another major topic for the g 7. that's been the case in the past as well. how are the leaders they're approaching that climate change has taken a bit of

the worst case scenario for zalinski is to get bogged down in the conflict. well has one time supporters shift their priorities and attention elsewhere, browbeating and bullying? his is fancy paying attention beyond their tolerance is probably not the most effective way to secure the best and fastest possible outcome of p and long term stability for the ukranian people. pakistan is looking for alternative ways to carry out financial transactions with russia, midwestern sanctions. that's according to the countries ambassador to moscow. with the majority of the world, refusing to join the west campaign. really, my colleague union o'neill discussed the situation with mohammed utter javan. the director general of the pakistan house international thinktank, the euro centric and the u. s. centric and the west centric policies. more or less has been creating lot of trouble for the developing countries. for only one mattered, i think the sanctioned regime has paralyzed many economies. the new world order, i would say also can be categorize in terms of how one country

no suspect from zalinski when from zalinski, i'm sure that the ukranian president is more than happy to have a direct dialogue to have a conversation with those leaders. that there is no doubt about it. not a reception here among the population. that might be a different story, i'm pretty sure we're not going to see. i did leaders of france, germany and italy shaking hands with your queen in population. and that has a reason. they have been a lot of communication mishaps or on behalf of the leaders of french or the french president, had fed a few days ago that the west should be careful not to humiliate, followed vladimir putin and russia. something that didn't go down quite well among the population here because ukrainians, highest price of this war, it does not one family which doesn't know some one on the front line. not one family is unaffected by this war. so the fact that someone external could suggest that russia ought not to be humiliated, humiliated. for example, this didn't go down quite well. so at french liter not very popular here and is the same for all of sholtes or sh

mister zalinski cost for maximum pressure on moscow. he frustrated with france and germany suggestions that ukraine may have to negotiate with russia to end the war. a high stakes visits high expectations, and high on symbolism, brush an aggression against ukraine. it's a russian against a europe, entire european against entire united europe. it's an aggression against our shout values and a 4 hour response, which should be good nights to date. ukrainian, sorry, in the front line are fighting against the russian strikes that we're not alone in the problem is as the 1st message i want to send alongside my counterpart. so up in europe is by your side. it will remain so as long as necessary until victory you are, which will look like the return of peace and in a free and independent ukraine. we need to understand that there is no alternative for to appease. we need to start looking for peace and which day when a defense side and started toiling me, understood that russia is looking for more ways and means of intimidating in europe for grab

and to be able to have this exchange with president zalinski as well as to talk about the future. or less cross live now to our, to contribute our rachel marston in paris for more on this. rachel, so there you have the 3 leaders of major european nations landing, or traveling by train, i should say to key of and you crane. can you give us a sense of the expectations from this summit? what does ukraine want? what does europe want to give ukraine? yeah, well that's really interesting comment by french, present. imagine mcclung and tell you something about the way communicates in minutes. these leaders of france, germany in italy, represent the european union economic engine, which right now is stalling. it's clear under the use own anti russian sanctions in the or ideological response to the conflict in ukraine. it's their own political interests. it's in their own political interests back home that these leaders are now increasingly saying that, you know, we can allow this to drag on forever. so is unsurprising that french president amendment back home with central parliamentary ma

and we compared to location and compared what we saw on that video that was published by volume zalinski grants present. and we thought we saw and it all makes sense. you got stuff at the factory in the foreground that is untouched. so that russian explanation that russian version but somehow there was a destination at the fact that it spread here just doesn't stack up to look, find me here. there's basically devastation in the shopping center. then there are green trees. further over there that were not touched. the fire did not spread from that side. this was any by that hit this shopping center to behind me that you see where the roof of base been taken off. that is where the missile hit. and then suddenly, further to my other side, you can see the bits where the fire engulfed, shopping center didn't bring the roof down, but basically turned everything that was there to dust. everything was inside that store or it could be accurate fumes still now and the firefights having to wear protective equipment, but it's just very dangerous working there. they've been working nonstop for basica
