russia has to lose in ukraine. we cannot put a time limit on it, but the one thing we can do to address the problem raised by our friend here in ukraine is speed up the decision-making. get the weapons there quicker. the whole defense production throughout nato is under stress. there is no question about it. we are providing a lot more ammunition and weapons systems than we were anticipating. but we need to speed it up to cut through the bureaucracy and get the weapons you need as soon as you need them so you can win the war. as far as i am concerned and i think i can speak pretty thoroughly for most of the members of my party in congress, as we are in this to win. losing is not an option. imagine how much it would cost all of us if russia one. and what about the implications in the far? the prime minister of you -- of japan says the biggest thing you can do to send a message to resident xi jinping is to beat president putin. so you know this has worldwide implications. we need to change our thinking. -- is one of

with ukraine. and we've seen phenomenal resilience and bravery on the front lines by the armed forces, but also we've seen phenomenal bravery and resilience on the business front. i think the fact that the businesses continue to operate, over 70% — they are up and running fully. over 80% are continuing to pay salaries. and i think it's one year on, it's really understanding and having that picture in your head how companies and businesses continue to operate during a war. so we've seen about 20%—odd have had damage to their properties, to the factories, especially as the russians came in through the north or through the east. my favourite factory was the 0reo factory, the factory that made 0reos. the cookie? the cookies, yeah. that's been destroyed. the unilever factory that packaged the tea through the north, that's been pretty much destroyed. but still, we've seen that over 70% are continuing. so to say this is a hostile working environment is an understatement. well, exactly. i think we hear

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 the 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, and ordinary people who insist with us that that can be no taboo on supplying weapons to protect against russian. tara keith once f. 16 fighter jets, but you as president joe biden draws a line that rate go with chancellor all of show it secretes for fear above the escalation. ukraine is also demanding a submarine from germany. alms 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 a 3rd world war mus

for ukraine. this is an hour. >> we will have another event on moscow's war in ukraine. we have done over a half dozen of these, maybe a dozen of these, since moscow's invasion 10 months ago. we have a terrific panel with us today. we have deborah kagan energy fellow, at the transatlantic leadership network. we have dousman analyst. we have west clarks, the former supreme allied commander for europe. we have former minister of defense from ukraine at the risha center. we are going to start -- eurasia center. you will -- wrote a provocative article on the need to retake crimea. we will start with him. you wrote this article on not just in the importance but viability of ukraine taking back crimea. you know the west has been cautious in providing weapons out of concern for provoking the kremlin. please tell us why and how ukraine can take back the peninsula. >> thank you into laughter one. thank you for highlighting that article. i do not know people will read it. first of all i think the fear of provoking kremlin should be out of the agenda now. the kremlin is engaged in

nick conley in ukraine. while the ukranian city of butcher, a suburb of cave, is known for the trail of death and destruction left behind after russian military occupation. human rights experts say it's a possible war crime scene with evidence of summary executions, torture and enforced disappearances. dw special correspondent abraham met one future resident on a quest to find justice for his family. all that alexander check mary of ever wanted was to keep his family safe. he brought them to butcher after rushing back to forces attack their home town in eastern ukraine in 2014 the check mary of spot a house and made it how much than we lydia. so it was said that we could escape the war here to be, but we did not put in found us even in butcher the stone aussie you their father brought them here a shelter under their home and planned their 2nd escape. while the chick marianne left one early morning in their car with their neighbor holly behind them, they barely made it out of their street. when they saw a rus

's at washington d. c. bureau chief in his pool has been following the story for us and sent us this assessment of president biden's visit to keith were present by him could not have chosen a more symbolic place than key of to demonstrate the global community, the ongoing support for ukraine. you know, this was really unprecedented risk by president biden, to cross into a country currently at war end, where the as does not have a military and infrastructure. so that really shows that this is a major signal to the rest of the world, and especially to russia who was informed about the president trip. so the u. s. clearly has no intention to dial back it's support at biden, has pledged more mil, military assistance. the ukraine, that can you tell us is americans, the support for ukraine still as steadfast is bind, says, or are there signs that it might be starting to wayne? right. so g

and e, u and ukraine, u and ukraine drafted this resolution welted to say, look, this is 143 nations of the 193 nations of the un general assembly against russia. russia is isolated on the weight of a chief that was by making this resolution as general as possible, simply stating the facts and its incontrovertible that it is against the un charter for any one member state to invade another member state. well, in the coming hours, the one you claim will enter its 2nd here. thousands of people have died. millions of being displaced. and the country has been devastated by the fighting since russia's invasion, a set of candidates and nigeria has been killed by gunman ahead of saturday's election, borrow or chill cool was attacked on wednesday in southeast and a new state. the opposition candidate was returning from a campaign value for the labor party. almost 50000 people now confirm dead and earthquakes that had took kia and syria. millions are in need of humanitarian aid. and many, some of us without shelter have him to brave the cold. more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have been fo

ukraine. meanwhile, united states has made its most serious condemnation, yet of russia accusing moscow of crimes against humanity in ukraine. it was vice president, pamela harris, made the comments at the munich security conference, demanding justice. the u. s. is already accused russia war crimes, but crimes against humanity are considered more serious under international law. in the case of russia's actions in ukraine, we have examined the evidence. we know the legal standards and there is no doubt. these are crimes against humanity. over 46000 people have been confirmed dead 12 days after the earthquakes and tuck he and syria touch authority say more than a 1000000 people in the country of been left homeless and more than 364000 departments destroyed off the shocks or also continuing to shake the area in just the last few hours, a 5.2 magnitude quite struck central turkey at the depth of 10 kilometers in our developments the well food program is pleading with authorities and syria to give

our commitment is to the people of ukraine and the future of ukraine. a ukraine that is free, sovereign, aquatic. thousands of those who declared the independence 130 is ago, that led the orange revolution, a revolution of dignity. those who continue still to root out kremlin's efforts. is a dream for those ukrainian patriots who have fought for years against russia's aggression and the donbass. the heroes that have given everything, given their lives in service of their beloved ukraine. i was honored to visit the memorial in kyiv yesterday. to pay tribbett to the sacrifice of those that have lost their lives -- tribute to those who sacrificed and lost their lives. the united states stands with the cranes -- ukraine's teachers, hospital staff, emergency responders. working in the city across ukraine given the power on in the face of russia's cruel bombardment. we stand with the refugees of this war, who found a welcome in europe and the united states, particularly here in poland. all across europe they do what they can help and continue to do so. cultur

if russia stops fighting against ukraine, the war ends. if ukraine stops fighting, ukraine ends. the fact remains, one man, vladimir putin started this war. one man can ended. second, even as we work to end russia's war against ukraine, members of this counsel must continue to address other challenges to international peace and security. we hear the concerns of countries that are standing with ukraine and holding russia accountable is diverting resources to others in need. to those countries i would say, look at her actions. when you hear russia and its defenders accuse the countries of supporting ukraine of ignoring the rest of the world i would say, look at moscow's actions. compare the numbers. in addition to the 13 .5 billion in food aid that the united states contributed to fight hunger over the last year, we fund more than 40% of the world food programs budget. russia contributes 1%. that is not an outlier. the united states donated more than nine times on peacekeeping. we give nearly a thousand times as much as russia to the u.n. refugee agency. third, we must reaffirm our

"milary assistance to ukraine. "you need to step up what you're doing "against russia. putin is getting the wrong message from us." and obama wouldn't do it. >> narrator: biden lost. instead of weapons, obama went with sanctions. >> from obama's perspective, nobody had elected him to the white house to be focused on russia and ukraine. and now you have your vice president bending your ear about the need to draw a bright line and say that russian aggression cannot stand. i think there was a piece of obama that looked at this and said, "sorry, this is... this is just not a top priority for us." ♪ >> putin takes a lesson from ukraine when he's able to invade a country and our reaction is minimal, right? and so of course he takes a lesson from that. the lesson that he takes from that is this kind of thing can work if we gin it up properly. and that's not the message that we really wanted to be sending at the time. >> the 2016 presidential race is underway. >> narrator: having tested the united states' resolve, putin

assistance to ukraine. there are some in the new gop-controlled house who want to immediately cut off support to ukraine. over the weekend we saw some senior republican leaders say, no, as a party we are standing firm with ukraine. that is what president biden hopes will really continue to be the case. if he is able to make that argument in kyiv, standing in the ukrainian capital, where rewind to a year ago, president putin was predicting he was going to be able to sweep through the country in a matter of days, overtake the capital, which was an early target for the capital. here we are a year later, president biden is able to go, stand calmly in the presidential palace, next to volodymyr zelenskyy, and have this display of unity amongst ukraine and its allies. president biden hoping to continue to make that case as he then travels from ukraine to here in poland, where we expect him to spend the next several days, that that kind of support is going to continue. in fact, needs to be even more robust as these

half of all schools across ukraine are too damaged to reopen. and 2 thirds of its children are unable to access any kind of education. there were some of the schools in areas that were held by the russians are so heavily damaged from showing that it will take millions of dollars and years before they're ready to open for students again. direction i was the one school principal said in the aftermath of russia's occupation of his home town. reopening classrooms meant making sure parents felt safe enough to send their children back with the help of international donors. this school in your opinion, converted a storage space into an air raid shelter. the plan is to build spaces like this in as many schools as possible. so i may be short enough full of our commercial, my, my m, what you say, the biggest concern for us is the children. there are children and we are responsible for them. that's why, at the beginning of the school year organized per se, classes and psychological training to cope with fear. when we have sirens with all the children autom

one year of the russian invasion of ukraine. ukraine's president sending a clear message. >> leave our territory, withdraw, stop showing us, stop killing civilians, stop destroying our infrastructure. >> president zelenskyy honored the country's armed forces and the families of fallen soldiers. and across ukraine, hopes and tensions ran high today. our correspondent reports from the south. >> every couple minutes, you can hear artillery pretty close. the russian army is on the other side of the dnieper river. ordinary artillery is enough. >>>> the anniversary marked by antiwar protests in cities across the world. in berlin, actavis parked a russian tank wrecked in ukraine outside moscow's embassy in the center of the german capital. i'm brent goff. to our viewers watching on pbs and all of your in the world, welcome. you are joining us as our special coverage marking a year since russia began its full-scale invasion of ukraine continues. commemorations and rallies have been taking place throughout the day and around the world. i

ukraine is united. back in 2014, before the russian aggression, attitudes toward russia in ukraine -- and dmytro can confirm this -- were largely positive. desire to join nato was probably about 25%. after the initial aggression in 2014, that of course flipped, and since the renewed aggression last year, on steroids. for the foreseeable future, ukrainians will hate their russian neighbors because of what's done, understandably. and ukraine's own unity is stronger than ever. our own unity is stronger than ever. putin thought he could divide nato. of course, we've seen exactly the opposite. in my 30 years of doing this, i've never seen this alliance more united and on the verge of welcoming in two new members. that, too, no one was thinking about before putin engaged in this renewed aggression. but here's the other point that's so important, and i'll come to the question. look at what has happened, what putin has done to his own country. we now have, by public accounts, something like 200,000 russian casu

assistance to ukraine. do you believe that a small minority of republicans are in a position to do that? condi rice and bob gates just wrote an excellent op-ed called sending more advanced weapons ukraine to help achieve victory sooner. since putin is counting on western support to wayne. you've already noted, growing strength in europe for providing ukraine -- do you think this is news about the mccarthy commitment -- the wisdom of the recommendations from rice and gates? >> underscores the wisdom but i think it also underscores something else. the united states is not -- special ministration on a very good job especially communications on this. so they've done a good job, they would be telling these members of congress, not only on the right but on the left, that hears the investment that were making in ukraine versus the investment we would have you making in our own military in terms of not only equipment but in terms of -- . it does not also talk about how there is probably -- i looked at general clark

but if you crane stops fighting, then ukraine is gone. thanks dana. deed of use, chief political correspondent, i will be bringing you all the latest from the munich security conference thrive today. russia and its wagner group mercer reese claim to have taken control of a village north of back, moved to a city that both sides have committed enormous resources to holding. the fight for background has become the longest running battle of russia's war with staggering casualties. for the wagner forces leading the assault, pounding away at their rush, an attack is fending off the relentless, sold on buck moot. these a wagon group leader yevgeny pedagogy has claimed his troops have taken a village just outside the city. but ukrainian soldiers make clear how the russian advances here have come at huge cost and they're, they're sending a lot of troops. i don't think that's sustainable for them to keep attacking this way. they're just there. there are places where their bodies are just piled up. there the, there's a trench where they just don't e

it to do not to do with regards to the war in ukraine?— war in ukraine? it been re'ected firml b war in ukraine? it been re'ected firmly by china * war in ukraine? it been re'ected firmly by china as i war in ukraine? it been rejected firmly by china as provocative i war in ukraine? it been rejected i firmly by china as provocative and baseless, etc etc. they have made it clear that china is trying to do everything but supply weapons, they have been buying surplus russian natural, specially oil, they are building a pipeline, this predates the war but they want to increase their economic ties with russia, they are selling non—military or perhaps dual use equipment such as drones, but so far they have stopped short of military support. i think they would like to support russia militarily because i don't want russia to lose but i think the economic consequences for china would be so grave that so far they have not taken that step. i believe we have been _ have not taken that step. i believe we have been looking _ have not taken that step. i believe we have

this munich security conference is, of course, dedicated to ukraine, to the support of ukraine, to confirm the transatlantic alliance, but we have widened the participation this year. we have invited a record number of representatives from the so-called global south, because while we have this unity between us, when you talk to representatives of the global south -- and we had them on the podium this morning -- you see that many countries sit on the fence. they see this as kind of a continuation of the conflict between u.s. and russia or nato and eu and -- or european countries and russia, and they feel the consequences. and they want to get it over with. they have an equidistant position there. and why we had -- and you pointed to the 141 votes. but when you talk to important partners in the global south, they are -- they abstain. they, you know, say, get it over with. we don't want to take -- take one side. and the point we're making, of course, is this is not east-west, this is about the rules-based inter -- the rule of law that you mentioned. but we have to do some convincing, because

but ukraine still needs more slow graham, who told the pac session of the european parliament that ukraine's home in the future is as part of europe lame nobliss. i am like we are moving closer to the european union. mo, did ukraine will be a member of the european union, shall claim that his winning will be a member of the european union of battles when a usual you are so usual, shaw, what am i guy after standing ovations in the parliament, a short drive away, he was again greeted with applause by the leaders of all the e used 27 nations. when he sat down with them, he laid out his specific requests listed for to read me. we need artillery guns, ammunition area, modern tanks at long range, missiles, modern aircraft, jo at a news conference president zalinski wouldn't detail the responses he's received to his wishlist. but he says the conversations have been constructive. he also stressed the time is critical with the new russian offensive expected in the coming weeks. james spies al jazeera brussels. ah. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guests in cave. sir, he shoppable av is a po

fighting effectively and to protect ukraine or help ukraine protect itself or years to come. sec. blinken: i just came back from a big gathering for many of us involved in the issues. i was not the only american there. the vice president was they are meeting our delegation, but so was the largest bipartisan congressional delegation that it has ever hosted before we went to munich, i sat down with mitch mcconnell and other leading republicans. i talked to the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, who also brought members with him, and in my conversations with leading republicans, who are leading their parties and house, i find support to be very strong and ongoing. the fact that this strong bipartisan congressional delegation spoke powerfully to the europeans who were there and ukrainians who were there because of the ongoing support from the center. you hear voices that are questioning support for ukraine. they are there, but i think the best way to answer them is to continue to show success, to help the ukrainians show success and also there is an important issue

south very key for russia and ukraine. the ukrainians have taken all the way back to kherson, but separately here crimea is seen as essential. this is what russia stormed in and took in 2014. they're trying to defend that. i think that's really where we're at when we look forward, you know, forward and back one year what it looks like inside ukraine. you see the russians now building in trench lines. this is what you were discussing before you introduced me. this is world war i, world war ii. we're seeing trench battles down here to the south. we see them dug in. also to the east we see a very, very different set of formations as well. so thinking through what we've seen in the last year, just some key points to look at. one, just look at the devastation that's happened. this is some agricultural warehouses we've been talking about food, supplies, it's very tough for the ukrainians at this point. separately the toll it's taken on cities like dnipro where we've seen missile strikes hit civilian complexes. that really speaks

right before the invasion rushed invasion in ukraine started. so we will look at the principles of course, but we will look at them against the backdrop that china has taken sites on the question over a surprise, over military support from china to russia. we have not seen any actual earth delivery of a legal aid, but what we have seen are signs on indications that her child may be planning and considering to supply military aid to russia. and china should not do that because that will be there to support and the legal war, aggression breaching international law and, and violating the you and charter china is a member of the un security council. and they have a particular responsibility to protect the you and the charter. and this is a war, aggression violating exactly dr. charter and then on are the proposal so under and the, and the, and the points presented by china. first of all, china, i doesn't have much credibility because they have not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of ukrainian. and they also sign that just days before the in

the let you know, so i'm not, i'm no 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's plenty of people running ukraine, 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. they the laura laura bomb conflict? well they, we were speaking to a independent journalist option or a tendency who interviewed mil button just a few days ago. he says the personal allegations against the found are nothing compared to what he is 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 are a former senior colonel in the u. s. marine corps has been aiding groups in ukraine to murder russians. that is the serious allegation. no other allegation is of any importance. real question is, why a

this is something they're talking about possibly providing ukraine in the future when ukraine has pushed russia off its territory to pursue rebuild and air defense, including fighter jets for ukraine. but everyone says it's too early. now this is really not something that's in the cards at the moment, but remember that we said about tanks as well, and now they should be on their way to ukraine. so you never know b, w corresponding terry sholtes in brussels. thank you so much. turning now to the earthquakes and turkey and syria, the number of people known to have died in both countries has risen above 40000 military and 8 has been slow to reach, especially parts of syria, which has been finding a civil war for more than a decade. and a new deal between the united nations and the syrian government means assistance is now starting to get through help is finally on its way within hours of the you and negotiating a deal with the government, damascus to open to boot crossings between turkey and northwest. and syria, this international age convoy is heading straight on through the us quite deva

our commitment is to the people of ukraine and the future of ukraine, a ukraine that's free, sovereign and democratic. if i were to dream those who declired dependence more than 30 years ago who led the orange revolution and the revolution of dig anythingty, who braved those who died there. for those who continue to root out kremlin's efforts to corrupt, coerce and control. it's a dream for those patriots who fought for years against russia's aggressions in the donbas. and the heroes who have given their lives to the service of their beloved ukraine. i was honored to visit the memorial this kyiv yesterday to pay tribute to the sacrifice of those who lost their lives standing alongside president zelenskyy. the united states and our partners stand with ukraine's teachers as hospital staff, emergency responders, the workers and cities across ukraine are fighting to keep the power on in the face of russia's cruel bombardment. we stand with the millions of refugees of this war who found a welcoming europe and the united states particularly here in poland. people did whatever they could to h

and he said, ukraine is not just defending itself. it's also defending freedom at large democratic principles, and he also had a message for the international audience saying that rata wouldn't stop by ukraine's borders. so if russia is successful in ukraine than it will go somewhere else. and the french president emanuel, my call very much also stressing this message, saying that now is not the time for negotiations. the ball is very much in vladimir putin court. he could stop this act of aggression against ukraine at any point. and if he's not doing that, then the west needs to keep up it's of court will have such the german chancellor also came out quite strongly saying that to the, the west at large needs to be prepared for a prolonged war. and that it does need to keep supporting for as long as it takes. well nina, there are countries, china, for example, who don't see russia in the same light as the west and with regards to ukraine. so how do you think today speakers will actually convince states that refuse to get involved, tha

i am ukraine. the settings largest military conflict in europe since the 2nd world war rushes assault relentless from its 1st incursion on february 241. mm hm. it's right grateful for sue. my 1st reaction was the problem. i've just lost my country with my shopping with my, i'm in our come back there. ah, ukrainian fight is definetly resisting a much larger and more powerful military force. the cities bombed village is destroyed. strategic installations reduced to ashes. ready ah, for weeks, any effort said a ceasefire. futile humanitarian corridors under fire. both sides flaming the other the lives of millions transformed forever. homecoming attention! some one hello has lost their homes for millions, flat from ukraine. hundreds of thousands are fighting with i can believe that you 1st wasn't touched by my diesel. ah ah. by february of 2022, a massive russian forces are gathered at the buddha with ukraine. yet the assault catches many by surprise. i thought that it's possible to crush up within ver

not, you know, a galloping progress across ukraine. but to make, you know, marginal games, they are also willing to take very significant losses in terms of manpower and equipment in order to do that. and in an effort, i think, to exhaust ukraine and exhaust the west. so again, this communication that that ukraine will not run out of support from the west. there is more firepower coming to the front line that ukraine will be able to withstand this. renew the salt from russia and will be in a position to, to counter attack. is extremely important to the calculations on both sides and then yellow, obviously, right now we're seeing a unified you that is bolstering it's support to ukraine. but if the war continues to grind on, if it essentially becomes a war of attrition would at some point, we see you countries push to get ukraine. and russia to the negotiating table was due to the, very hard as well because the us already leave the other crisis is and already the most twice the, the but it lead all ability to, to produce can you can resu

that ukraine is a vivid example. the people fighting for freedom and democracy are much stronger than quote, the 2nd army of the world. are these ideals enough for ukraine to win the war? this is not just a war between 2 states. it's a war between 2 systems, authoritarianism and democracy. and it also retrain regime corporate, which is other democracies have to support each other even more. it's why we ask international community to provide ukraine with more than a weapon to read more than 10 more than to play in c, a very deep understanding among the people for what we are fighting for in this one . in this war with russia been fighting for freedom in all census or freedom to be independent state or freedom to be your graham's and not to be forcibly regulated as russians. and for a freedom to have a chance to build a country where the rights of everybody are protected. thank you alex andrew murphy shook the head of the center for civil liberties and organization and keith. the chair of the 2022 nobel peace prize for

training, maintaining and sustaining ukraine's remains key for ukraine to prevail. throughout this were ukraine has showed incredible resourcefulness in how the they integrate very capabilities to adapt to changing dynamics of this battlefield. ukrainians have combined unbreakable will with innovative tactics and empowered their leaders to liberate their own country. russia on contrast is waging a very costly war of attrition. while ukraine is effectively leveraging their asymmetric advantages in order to defend itself. and the most important asymmetric advances they have is courage, resilience, and tactical skill. this war is extremely dynamic, and ukraine today is fighting while training and evolving for future operations. ukraine will integrate recent commitments of armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks with fires to achieve the effect of synchronize ground maneuver. while russia has waged this war for far too long, they will not outlast the ukrainian people, north the group of allies and partners that met today. the purpose for the united states

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
