we are here with ukraine. we are standing side by side, and there have been commitments made in the past. president u. s. presidential biden was in poland a just a few days ago to follow reiterates we are here. we have a, we have an eye on the situation. we are here with our eastern european partners, but also with ukraine. he visited the capital, one key of a surprise visit. we had that members of the e commission, including the commission president, was from the line in keith last month to bring this exact message again. we are standing by your side, you have the prospect of becoming a e, u e, and they were of the european union. we want you in the european family. so there have been commitments made and it seems like that everybody is gearing up for this to. yeah, body to take to take, to take a while and there in for it. how quickly could that half at max, how quickly could you crane become a member of the the, at that site a process? is it, it is quite a process. yes. so usually this is a process that tak

and ukraine might think. well, this sounds like looks a lot like germany empower policy that is aimed at america. and this is really china's kind of big picture issue is that it sees america as, as the impediment it rise as a global power. and any help that it can get on the diplomatic side against that it seeks. and this is why it has a strong incentive to kind of align itself more closely with russia. now, to the extent that that is fueling concerns that maybe even china will stop providing some weapons to russia at the same time. china. and i would say that it was to present a piece plans or trying to say no, no, no, we're still, we're still independent. we're still on the fence. we want to potentially even mediate at this point. so it's quite a fine line that it's working. but to say that china is neutral on this, what is, is really not true. do you think that we could say that china is watching how the west is reacting here? or is it a thinking ahead to how potentially the west could react to, to a chine

he is saying i am resolute enough to go to ukraine because new ukraine you ukraine are brave and resolute enough to fight for freedom. and i fight found that quite moving. it's going to be effective for him when he comes back and needs to negotiate with congress for more aid, for more weaponry. i think he'll be in a strong position to do so. >> these republicans being here saying that they want to push ahead with that isn't going to hurt him, either. jennifer, great to see you, as always. thank you for spending time with us. still, ahead after biden further submits u.s. support for ukraine, i will speak to a member of the ukrainian parliament about the wars toll and what she wants next, after this. next, after this by working with you on a retirement-income plan designed to balance growth and guaranteed income. because doors were meant to be opened. who's on it with jardiance? ♪ ♪ we're the ones getting it done. we're managing type 2 diabetes and heart risk. we're on it with jardiance. join the growing number of people who are on it with the once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not o

as soon as the west agreed to supply ukraine with heavy bottles tanks, ukraine started to demand formal, president zalinski says his country urgently needs by the japs and submarine. now this has fogged the heated debate in international politics. u. s. and germany have refused to agree to this new demand. others wonder if the dawning to diplomacy could be the way to end the war? so today on to the point we asked new weapons for ukraine. where does the white aid lead? with hello and welcome to do the point. it's good to have you with us. now before we start, let me introduce our guests. we have nick connelly. nick walks as foreign correspondent with deutsch or whether he has been reporting extensively out of ukraine for the last few months. welcome back. next on the panel is professor golf gong mce. he is skeptical about sending more arms to ukraine. and last but not least, we have with us island motley. she is security expert at the german council on foreign relations. she's also been in berlin, but she's joining us remotely today. let me, let me start with you. you've been on the grou

and how do you explain that the fact that the west has given ukraine billions and military a ukraine itself has lost the 5th of its country to russia? well, 1st of all, the war has been going on since 2014, that it's nearly 9 years. and most of the territory that russia had conquered was actually conquered. and the 20142015 period. the ukranian fleet they had, had west and weapons have taken back 50 percent of the territory that russia had conquered, including some of the territory that had been conquered in the, in the 20142015 attack. so i would say the western weapons have been decisive and have been abroad, allowed the ukrainians to miraculously regain territory. that would be impossible to do without these western weapons. all right, we'll leave it there. thank you so much, samantha bender and for speaking to us from parents. we appreciate your time. now, both ukraine on russia had been extensively using drones. and as gabriel, alessandra reports from new york smaller u. s. arms manufacturers are in the forefront of that technology. it's one of the smallest most lethal and lesse

but the truth is, if russia stops fighting this war, and if ukraine stops fighting ukraine and binding or not the resolution as a sign of rushes, isolation one year into its war on its neighbour. but moscow hasn't given any indication that it's willing to stop how strong a gesture is this un resolution. i put that to nicole rembert who focuses on foreign and defense policy at the german council on foreign relations. where it sends a very strong signal to the world, because the way the members of the un voltage this here, it's not any different from the way they voted a year ago. so it shows an overwhelming support for ukraine. and this is more than just shows an attitude when it comes to the violation of the country. and it's a border china abstained from the vote as it's done in the past. but in the hours after the resolution was passed, beijing released a much anticipated 12 point piece proposal to end the fighting in ukraine. what is your reactions about plan? how is it being seen? trying to place an interesting role here. and in providing a 12 point plan, the content of the plan wa

he invaded ukraine in 2014. and he helped with the invasion of syria, which is not on his borders, but it shows his ambition. we weren't paying attention when he was telling us that he was interested in reconstructing the soviet empire, which you would now call the russian empire. and yes, i'm afraid we are to blame for not listening, not catching the warning signs in a bubble for not thinking about the consequences for ukraine and for nato. and so does nato need to now expand and let ukraine, and despite on possibly having crimea not re fried, i mean is this, is this what ukraine needs, and what nato on it, i, the war will the war will. and when russia changes, so the war will, and when the russians conclude that it was a mistake when they understand that the russian empire cannot be reconstructed and that that here is over. um, how we get to that point. there are many different ways. one of the ways will be military vicki from ukraine a there may be also, we may be able to use sanctions. we may eventually be a

but as russia's war in ukraine approaches, it's 1st anniversary you membership, the ukraine is unlikely to be achieved quickly. there is the feel of a family get together as members of the you commission gathered in keith for a historic joint meeting with the ukranian government. he, you, commission president, ought to live on the lion said they were there to show you up stands as firmly as ever with ukraine in its war with russia. our presence in chief today gives a very clear signal. the whole of the european union is in this with ukraine for the long haul. and we will stand up for ukraine as we stand up for the fundamental rights and the respect of the international law. but amidst all the smiles in solidarity sits another issue, i guess, for you, uh huh. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski once she craned to become a fully fledged member of the e. u. family and quickly you prepared your application for the european union membership brilliantly. i know it by experience you became a candidate country while fighting an invasion. you continue to make impressive progress to meet the 7

it would end the war if ukraine stop defending himself against russia would be the end of ukraine. eliza, let me ask you a, we know what the you, as president is saying, there we hear his message. do you think that most of the people in russia will they even where they even get that message? well, i doubt that they will really get the message or given the fact that all the media other is controlled by the kremlin. however, i was not surprised that her joe vide, and mentioned, letting me put in and stay directly addressed the people of russia, even though his team had told the press before the speech that they didn't wanted to, to turn into their back and forth with 14 about of course, after put in speech, my impression was, was that the you, as president had to push back against, put in some narrative, he couldn't let it stand this claim that natal is to blame that it wants to destroy russia. and i think it was important for him to try to convey this message to the russian people that this is not true that put in kent could. and the war immediately if he wanted to in years before we go,

at this stage, ukraine has remained tight. well stephen, i hope you bring us any updates on when you get them. thanks very much for that. or mold overs. former presidents eager donna, i was also the main opposition leader in the countries slammed the current government government policy as cold on the nation to avoid destabilizing the situation in trans nice them. this comes as moldova face as political turmoil, with thousands of residents, protesting against the government and high energy costs. a political analyst told us that moldova rhetoric is aimed at pleasing the west and ukraine. liberty with any issue demilitarization of trends. nestor is on the one hand, the official position of cheer snell. but on the other hand, such a declaration in such a tense time causes great resonance because the modern government does not always voice such a position. the fact that they returned to the term demilitarization, which implies the withdraw of the russian peacekeeping. contingent from trans nestor, is perceived both in moscow and

ukraine is not a democracy. ukraine is about the most corrupt country in the world. most americans cannot find it on a map. you remember a few years back democrats did not want to spent $2 billion on a border wall for the united states. we have sent them over 100 -- over $100 billion to defend someone else's border. that shows you where the priorities are of the biden administration. president zelenskyy is basically demanding -- for the last year we have been supplying them with money, we have been supplying them with arms. we have dug ourselves into this whole where if we pull out and ukraine falls we will get the blame for it. we are stuck here because we started this support. host: that is marked in hampstead, maryland. the number is a little over $50 billion at this point, including well over 25 billion dollars in military and security assistance. $10 billion in humanitarian assistance. $15 billion in other financial assistance, and the president proposing another $500 million when he made his surprise visit to kyiv earlier this week. richard in new york. indepen

now, that might be interpreted either way for russia or for ukraine, but if i were ukraine, i'd certainly be looking to build on that. when i met with susan, thank you. very good advice there. we'll see if you've got the ear of the link you win against me. she did say melinda crain is always going to have your, the big table. thank you. thanks, friend. we're here in germany. support for you. great remains strong. the government announcing that it is sending a total of 14 leopard to battle tanks to ukraine, but many voters also worry about the possible consequences of supplying weapons to key. there were anti war protests in several cities across germany. today. a symbol of destruction and downfall. activists park a piece of the battle field in front of russia's embassy in berlin. the russian t $72.00 tank was destroyed during fighting the boucher and ukraine last march. to many who have come to have a look. a year of war has led them to reflect as it's been you, i'm here to mock the anniversary of the war simply to commemorate the victims in ukraine and the terrible intervention there tha

but, no, i very much am in my mind, in my heart, in ukraine with the people of ukraine. and, over the last year, i feel like i've become a full time ukrainian as well, because i'm a scholar of ukraine and i am ukrainian, and a lot of people have sought the knowledge of people or expertise of people who know about ukraine. have you been back very much since february 24th, 2022? no, i only went back once. i went back in september. i was a little bit uncomfortable going back without a good reason. i didn't want to be a liability for people who are defending my country. but in september i went back. i really wanted to see people, to talk to them, to visit my hometown, to visit the capital, and that's what i did. i went for a very brief visit. here's what people might already be puzzling over as we get into our conversation. why would somebody who clearly is so driven by a need to explain ukraine's history, who cares so very much about her country, why did you choose to leave ukraine a long time ago? long before the all out invasion, long before putin's annexation of crimea i

supporting ukraine in supporting ukraine -- romania. as said before, this is a test of our generation. we have to work together and all the different layers of this conflict to bring peace back to the deserving place. our message is straightforward. there is sovereignty among the individual to ukraine. this is in respect the u.n. charter. the fundamental suppose of international law. negotiations and start only when they are ready, and the way it looks, must be defined by ukraine. rumania supports this first long as it takes. thank you. >> i think his excellency for his statement. i give the floor to his excellency, the minister of foreign affairs of poland. >> mr. president, excellencies, for convening this important meeting. for the secretary-general, for his viable insights, or excellency, i believe that we should focus today on three main things. first of all, the accurate diagnosis of a situation. then, the search for an adequate reaction. finally, the steps that need to be implemented. so, let us start with contrasting this truth

what are we expecting that a well, ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, that's the biggest issue here today. you can't get away from it tonight, did 30 defense ministers. we'll have dinner with the finland and sweden who of course are knocking on the door. i haven't heard any, any progress on, on that issue of turkey keeping sweden out at the moment. and they'll also have a at that dinner will also be e, you hi, representative joseph burrell. because one of the other important things about coordinating nato's assistance to ukraine is coordinating with the european union who is also doing training, who is also giving weapon, giving money back to the allies who give weapons to ukraine. so the european union has actually really stepped up on the defense side, and that's something that they want to see done most efficiently. so there's not duplication between nato and the you. that's something that's constantly a concern around here. so they'll all be discussing ukraine tonight. are you so much for about a territory shells in brussels arts with cracks in southern turkey and syria, more than 3700

thanks to ukraine. and now a new confrontation appears to be viewing after tongues will there be negotiations for fighter jets and submarines. berlin wants to supply ukraine with 14 that for 2 tanks. other countries are also taking part of all poland and norway. the usa wants to send abrams tanks, but that's not enough for ukrainian president zalinski who says his country needs much more to defeat the russian army just williams. my thank all those around the world politicians, journalists, ordinary people who insist with us that there can be no taboo on supplying weapons to protect against russian terror. keith, once f. 16 fighter jets, but you as president joe biden draws a line. they're great with the partner, chancellor, all i've showed secretes for fear of further escalation, ukraine is also demanding a stop marine from germany, arms deliveries to ukraine, really the only way to force russia to negotiate all the critics rights and fearing that the delivery of potential offensive weapons could end in

the let you know, so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not, oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no, because it's i understand that plenty of people running your train need cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is fine. i didn't. laura laura vom conflict bit other in the program here. when i was speaking to independent journalist option with tendency, he actually interviewed mill by just a few days ago. he says the personal allegations against the founder of nothing compared to what he's actually guilty of hey, who cares about any allegations against the ceo? the mozart group, the allegations are not about identity politics, sexual harassment. however, serious the allegations may be. the allegations are that a former senior colonel in the u. s. marine corps has been aiding groups in ukraine to monitor russians. that is the serious allegation. no other allegation is of any importance,

man, ukraine. that's good. now the challenge we have is that we're all digging deep into our stockpiles and our military resources are not unlimited. so i'm wondering how potently, thinking about how when, when you come there be replacing the military capabilities that you're sending to you right now due to the pressure on the european defense industrial base. thank you. well, like the thing, thank you for this question. first, let me express my happiness from the point of view of sweden and finland joining nato. that's quite a change for nato. it's, it's put in with not expect the attack that i think they will, but, you know, that's, that's, that's quite a change from the point of view of all the stockpile and all the weapons which we have delivered. we are changing our industry. we are creating new technology lines to replace the weapon, which we would have sense to ukraine with new weapon. good example is us crops, which we've sent to ukraine. they are very good on the battlefield and we have ou

it just encourage ukraine in georgia, just press interest. you need a membership precipitating the russian aggression the georgia war, and then the annexation of crime in 2014. i received the exact same scenario. play out here, russia invade ukraine. this offensively to prevent and the animals and the armed anti rush, nato member from urging on his borders and all a gets more nato expansion on his waters. it's important to keep in mind that there was no political consensus in sweden and finland towards banding neutrality before this war. and maybe only 20 or 30 percent of the populations of both countries actually were strong supporters of nato membership. so russia's aggression against the ukraine. eventual fundamental shift in the country, public opinion, i read once again to the expansion of the alliance on the waters and samuel the did another thing, the significant innovation for european security and defense is that the you is now, of course, financing the purchase and delivery of lethal weapons to ukraine. that's a 1st and e u history.

yamiche: president biden ghost ukraine, marking the when your anniversary. criticism of the president, arguing he should be more concerned about domestic issues like the train derailment and the southern border. up next. >> this is "washington week." corporate funding provided by -- >> how people communicate and connect. we offer a variety of plans.

they were already like leaving the ukraine ukraine. or somewhere in the western part. my family was in the top region also and gave was slowly being and circled from what we heard from the news. also, sirens explosions that you hear frequently. they all impact me. i can't say that's like no, like i'm able to cope with this. i'm happy. i live in a dorm dorm of living and i'm so glad i can have people to talk to when i have worries, when i just need someone to be around me, there's definitely a lot of support, a lot of help. and so definitely helps with all the effects war has on me. but i remember how terrified i was after the 1st 2 or 3 weeks when i actually was in 10 kilometer as from the front line. and after i go into him, say for region, i remember how was i scared of and how doors are, let's just at closing in the sound. it was just something it reminded me of this, a silvery lake by a bumpiness. and so something like that. what are your hopes for the future? now, given that the country is at war and you don't know what's going to happen and way you'll get away. a

perhaps even the end of ukraine. you know, one year later, kyiv stands and ukraine stands. democracy stands. america stands with you. and the world stands with you. kyiv has captured a part of my heart, my must say. i've come here six times as vice president. once as president. and in 2009, as vice president when i first came here. then back in 2014, i came three times in the aftermath of the revolution of dignity. and i, again, came in 2015, to address the work of building a strong democracy. and i came in 2017, just before i left office as vice president. i knew i'd be back, but i wanted to be sure. even though the elections were over, barack and i were out of office, i decided to make one more trip. before the next president was sworn in. to kyiv. so, president zelenskyy, you deeply honor me here in kyiv. with you today. to meet with your military, your intelligence folks. your diplomatic teams. community leaders who have stepped up and helped their country in the hour of need. it's astounding who stood up. everybody. everybody. women, young children, trying to do someth

what ukraine is concerned? i think very important is nothing about ukraine without your brain. it's a sovereign country. ukraine itself has to decide when the time has come for them to make the next move. this is very important. we support fully and back fully as a piece plan of presidents or landscape at the moment being 100 percent support focused on the survival of ukraine. military wise, that they are strong and economically wise, and again, nothing about your brain without your. there's a problem though, isn't there about what ukraine needs? ukraine keep saying it needs more and one of the key things right now is ammunition . i'm told in terms of artillery shells they're using more than weston factories are producing. how are you going to deal with that? yes. what we're going to do on the europe level is that we are convening the european defense industry. basically ask them, what is it, what you need to scale up to speed up. that's important. we have these infrastructure for that, the european piece facility, and they are used to do the procurement and to have the funding

not so those from ukraine. but while the country spends billions of dollars supporting them, and as the cost of living was the hope that they will $1.00 day be able to leave poland is not felt by the ukrainians alone. and show that it's live for us. now a refugee reception center and the other polish premium board agenda as a war and says it's 2nd year. there are still many ukrainians arriving in poland. adrian, that's right. look, it's not the chaos that it was in the early days and weeks of the war. of course, when millions of people very, very quickly fled ukrainian panic and terra, it's much more organized now it's much calmer. yes, people are arriving every day and reception centers like this at any given moment. there are several 100 people being looked after course by a small army of volunteers and n g o workers. one of them is with me now and i'm missing the act with the polish red cross. georgiana, thanks for being with us. you were here right at the very beginning. you've seen this all through the las

ukraine's territory and neutrality with the west was not the goal. full ukraine of ukraine was. i want to emphasize that. host: jane is on the line on the independent line. caller: i think she just answered my question partially. a simple question. why does russia need more territory? it is a big country. the other thing is, do they really need democracy because communism is a failure? is that really the motivation? guest: it's a great question, why does russia need more territory? i think another reason for why what vladimir putin is doing in ukraine actually comes down to how he governs russia. ukraine opposed zero threat to russia, other than just existing, trying to build a society that was different and free, not authoritarian. one of the reasons vladimir putin is going on this endeavor is also to boost his domestic support. it worked in 2014 when he illegally occupied crimea. it worked a lot less this time. but he has also been consolidating russian society. russian power brokers around the agenda of continued war against ukraine. it is not putin's war, it is russia's war.

ukraine is ours. this is our historic -- my patrimony that i got from the czars, peter the great and catherine the great, and i am on a mission to regather the russian peoples and russian lands. that is the point of the special military operation. it was launched on the cheek of far fewer troops than one would have expected to subjugate a country of 44 million people. i historical comparison, nazi germany had almost 1.5 million troops engaged when they lost their war in 1940 against france , which was roughly the size of ukraine. vladimir putin had fewer than 200,000 troops engaged in the special military operation. supported by the fsb, they thought they prepare the battlefield well and they did not need nasa military formations, because they thought at the start of operation barber road said that the soviet union was a rickety shack and all they needed to do was kick the door in and it would collapse. vladimir putin had the same view of ukraine. they were going to be able to demilitarized ukraine on

left ukraine. ukraine must win and the aggressor must be pushed back. for this, we must also believe in ukraine's victory. ukraine needs enough weapons and ammunition to win the war. that is why i propose that eu member states jointly procure ammunition for ukraine. during the pandemic, we were able to react quickly to jointly procure vaccines. let us act quickly now and send more ammunition to ukraine. we must keep in mind that the threat russia poses is a long-term one. in addition to the conventional war, they are also waging a hybrid war to create chaos and divide us. all european countries need to invest more in their own defense and resilience. we cannot be afraid of russia and their tactics. if we fall for russia's threats, we will wake up in much more dangerous world. ukraine and russia's other neighbors are not afraid. so why should those countries who are further from ukraine be afraid? the way this war against ukraine ends will define peace for generations to come. for any peace to last,

what does it mean to the people of ukraine to the military of ukraine, that the u. s. president actually set foot there today? well, it's a great just, it's a very encouraging gesture for ukraine ukrainians for those fighting on the front line. quite frankly, american and american presidents were usually very reluctant to the ukraine last long. the last one visiting was the jury. w bush and a lot of your friends and all of them had this, you know, hero, very tasting russia and joe biden. finally show american president has courage, has the ability to not only to be called the leader free world, but at the leader of the free world. because what the date was exactly our american president, the leader of the world, should be behaving made of the major assault against the democracy and freedom that brought me almost a year already. you as president biden, he has been called the consoler in chief. and that title struck me today when we saw him lay a wreath at a monument to fallen ukrainian soldiers. what went through your mind watching that he was a powerful moment i saw

it's left for tanks to ukraine . they were just going to go ahead and do it anyway. warsaw has own anti russian rhetoric also routinely perpetuates the image that poland is in some kind of endless showdown with moscow. probably my po, to lose politicians for a 123 years will cry, ports of pol into the sar is through one 1st thing that if someone says ruskie meter or meaning a russian world or russian pace up, we say absolutely no europe, anything but russia. i anything but the russian sphere of influence. so remarks like this, amplify washington's and nato's attempts to portray eastern europe as being under constant threat from moscow's sphere of influence. and what's the solution to that? well, more western weapons, troops and funding for poland. of course, last july, ukraine, granted you all polish citizens the right to stay at work without a permit, receive medical treatment and collect all sorts of benefits. that is after poland did the exact same thing for ukrainians. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has ev

it is sovereign territory of ukraine. winning means sovereignty of all ukrainian territory and bringing back the thousands of ukrainian children who have been deported. bring them back home. it means accountability for russian war crimes and an ironclad security guarantee. biden cannot invest in a security plan without an ironclad marshall plan. russia occupying crimea is not only a problem for ukraine, but europe. it means refugees will continue to live in germany, poland, other places. how do we do this? all of you know, there are only two land lines of crimea. one goes under a bridge. i imagine they will revisit that bridge when the time is right. they want to prevent russians from repairing that. the other is the land bridge that connects crimea to russia with mariupol. you have to isolate crimea first with long-range precision striking ability that keeps repair crews off the bridge by knocking out bridges along the route. further isolated -- what i anticipate will happen late spring, early summer, the next ukrainian

i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine of ukraine fighting for its independence and serenity. that has to decide, at what time they want to sit down at the negotiation table with the aggressor. but as the war drags on with no end in sight, attention also turned to the wider global implications of the conflict. western nations may have united behind ukraine, but the wide a world remains divided secretary general when all of the jing is watching closely the war in the right articles to present through the winds there, it will impact the calculations on the, on decisions they will make a engaging for its part, china announced it would forward a piece proposal for a political solution to the conflict her job, but many in europe remain skeptical. township button, china has taken side very clearly assigned the unlimited friendship agreement with russia. so it has taken a specific position. we shall keep that in mind. china is not neutral towards the whole process. as we are not neutral, we are backing of course ukraine. many fear the, china's proposals will include ter

president had finally visited ukraine. but they did then quickly follow that up with we hope that the next step now will be fighter jets. we hope the next step now will be long range artillery. frankly what we're hearing from as recently as yesterday, the eu chief, the pressing short term need on the ground for ukrainian forces is ammunition. there is an absolute dearth of ammunition. ordinary people here, i think, this visit did mean a lot to them. it caused some chaos in the city because large parts of the center of town were completely shut down to traffic. there were huge traffic jams. the metros were totally overwhelmed. people were trying to get to work. yet, all you hear on social media and talking to ukrainians and already so many people coming here and taking photographers and trying to capture the scene is that this was so important. that this comes at a moment where the fight has been so bitter and so grim in the east. where it has been cold with infrastructure being bombarded day in and day out. and to have tha

ukraine is crate full to you, mr. president. all of the -- ukraine is grateful to you, mr. president . >> statement by the united president of the united states of america. pres. biden: it was very late in washington, very early in the morning in kyiv. russian planes were in the air. you told me you could hear the explosions in the background. i will never forget that. the world was about to change. i remember vividly, i asked you next. i asked you what is there, mr. president? what can i do for you wish mom how can i be of help? i do not know if you remember what you said to me. you said, gather the leaders of the world, asking them to support ukraine. i gather the leaders of the world -- gather the leaders of the world and ask them to support ukraine. you said you do not know when we would be able to speak again. that dark night, one year ago, the world was literally bracing for the fall of kyiv. it seems like a lot longer than a year. think back to the year. perhaps. you know, one year later, kyiv stands. ukraine stands. democracy stands. the american stand with you and

and that was a, that was an arrangement far more advantageous to ukraine. you know, the dom boss region would have been fully restored to ukrainian control, albeit with substantial self reliant and autonomy. and now course the, the best case that you create faces a ceasefire in which it recognizes russian annexation of a 5 different a prior ukrainian loss. well, yes, mr. pine. it's a pretty bleak situation on there on the front lines right now, but let's pause for a 2nd. we'll be back to this conversation in just a few moments. second, ah, a so what we've got to do is identify the threads that we have crazy foundation. let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with ah welcome back to worlds apart with david pine, a former us army combat arms officer and military affairs commentator. mr. pine before the break, we touched upon prison biden's cognitive capacity and you know, my own country. i was born in ther

ukraine with more powerful systems. the air system, western tanks, etc. firstly, political decisions should be made to transfer these weapons to ukraine. and these meetings are important because in making such decisions, the emotional aspect and personal trust plays an important role. and such meetings allow for these personal contact and personal trust between european leaders and volodymyr zelenskyy. if you remember -- mohammed: sorry, go ahead. serhii: if you remember, ukraine was granted eu candidate status afternoon leaders visited -- after leaders visited ukraine, and they witnessed russian war crimes. these involved the emotional aspects. it makes such decisions about granting status or providing ukraine with weapons easier. mohammed: daniela, you heard that president zelenskyy is seeking more weapons and weapons systems from eu leaders. president zelenskyy also said that several european leaders have expressed to him their readiness to supply kyiv with fighter jets. i want to get your perspective on how likely y

for ukraine to use. france, of course, is involved on the number of levels trying to support ukraine militarily, and one can expect this conversation over dinner with volodymyr zelenskyy, just arriving now into the courtyard at the elysee palace, dressed in his military fatigues, as he has been since the outbreak of the battle february 24 of last year. greeted by emmanuel macron on the steps of the elysee. macron with a hand on zelenskyy's shoulder, a warm welcome. typical of the french president. the warmth between the two men, especially intense given the situation zelenskyy is facing back in his homeland with the russian troops pressing, and it is believe gathering in the east, a push perhaps even to the capital, kyiv, which was putin's original objective back in february last year. putin -- macron shaking hands with volodymyr zelenskyy. the three men will pose for gathered media, including france 24 before withdrawing into the elysee for those talks and dinner, which will clearly go on for some hours

putin has ambitions beyond ukraine. you have nato, the baltic states, poland, et cetera, but reading this 30-odd page document that goes into everything from how russia is going to take over belarus' export trade, belarus' military will be integrated with russia, meaning a country of almost 10 million people will be at the mercy of putin's next whim for military adventurism, going to war with whomever he likes. belarusian citizens would be sa recruited by russiansaying for time now, we only think this is about ukraine. it absolutely is about the state of europe, europe whole and free, to use george bush -- george h.w. bush's coinage after the cold war. that's what at stake, what's at threat. this is the reason that president biden, after months of planning, made this historic and deeply symbolic trip to kyiv, to show that he is the quintessential transatlantic president and will not allow russia to achieve its ambitions. >> the timing of the visit pegged to the anniversary and also a critical moment, needing to rally th

for a year after russia invaded to ukraine, it has seen serious setbacks. ukraine is holding on, but the price is high. many subsist in a landscape of craters and ruins. thousands of ukrainian civilians have been murdered. women raked children deported over 8000000 refugees have spread across europe. more than half of them seeking shelter in e u countries. well, joe biden became the 1st u. s. president, in modern history to visit a war zone unprotected by u. s. troops. russia's leader once again lashed out against the west and sought to prepare his people for protracted conflict and ongoing sacrifice. so were asking ukraine one year on war without end were without a winter. mm . hello and welcome to to the point. it is a pleasure to greet our guests. alex say you super heads the russian program at germany's free reach. eva, shift over. marcos kime is a senior fellow in the security policy division at the german think tank s w p. and my colleague, senior pasco, is originally from ukraine and works in detail for his brussels 0 and say, no, let me begin by asking you what's uppermost in

well, it will be very bad for ukraine because even 2 battalions is not enough. ukraine has been asking for at least 2 to 300 tanks now. it would be getting 2 battalions. and given the ways that the russians are kind of trying to plan their con program, so they're trying to attack in different locations along the front line in order to be able to see where is the defense is are the weakest. so for ukraine, it would be virtually impossible to stop the russians if they don't have any mean for any kind. and we shall see what happens was the last words, but the sooner they get to the battlefield, the more that you create might be able, at least to hold the ground. the grant in defense minister says his truth need a few months to train with western weapons before they can push the russians back. is there any reason to believe that they won't have that time? well, the problem is that the technical clock is running very fast, and therefore any day, any minute counts. and we're seeing this, the ukrainian forces are trying to hold back more general to loosely sending more troops to reinforce and
