la hans is ukraine and ukraine remains ukraine. last week, president vladimir putin proclaimed for ukrainian regionally to be part of russia in an opulent ceremony at the kremlin. but i can't resist. you're. the move followed a series of what the west called shamrock randoms, held at gunpoint in ukraine's russian occupied east and south. russia defends the votes, saying they were meant to stop the persecution of ethnic russians and russian speakers by ukraine. the results speak for themselves the people in these regions do not want to return to ukraine. they've made an informed and free choice in favor of our country assembly. now the showing at the un general assembly was stronger than many predicted to evan. this is a message to russia. it's the message from the world that they need to cease their aggression against ukraine. the vote followed one of russia's biggest attacks and ukraine since its invasion began in february. with missiles strikes in more than 20 ukrainian cities, including keith, the capital t w's washington bureau

will ukraine? millions of people will be grateful to that group of 7 for such assistance to me is a double wall. all right, when i cross over to dw political correspondent, juliet, so deli julia, great to see it. what has the reaction been? 2 of the g 7 leaders to zalinski demand. well, i think these recent attacks on monday from a russia against ukrainian cities and civil infrastructure have really brought home for g 7 countries. how important it is, it is that the support ukraine, especially in the country's defense against such attacks and that these attacks can continue to happen. and so today the g 7 countries made clear to ukrainian president volume is zelinski, that they are at his side. and that they will continue to support ukraine a for as long as it takes. and that includes co ordinating to guarantee ukraine's military and security and defense needs. also going forward. now we've seen pledges already coming from u. s. president joe biden, that he in his country is going to up deliveries

how can natal provide more support for ukraine? that's the issue facing. defense ministers gearing up for a 2 day meeting in brussels. we'll go live to nato hedge cute ah, i'm glad of us. welcome to the program. a day after ukraine was hit by dozens of russian rockets, security services are reporting more strikes in the south and in the west of the country on tuesday. ukrainian authorities say at least 12 missiles have slammed to public facilities in the southern city of the bridge. yet killing at least one person, the ocean set off a large fire in the area by. it is of the group of a 7 countries, the g 7 r meeting virtually today to discuss further support for keith, including help to rebuild ukraine's damaged infrastructure. following the latest attacks, people and keith have already made a start themselves. okay, i understand that a nato secretary general stoughton back is about an important to speak with nick and security. we will review our progress on strengthening night those, the terrans on the fence. we will further increa

and so asa bought of ukraine remains unchanged. and all sham deference or decisions made by the kremlin won't stop us up more help for ukraine as fast as possible. the u. s. is heading up discussions on how to get this done with around 50 countries, alongside nato nations are also states like japan, australia, tunisia, and kenya as well as anti aircraft missiles. they want to provide artillery ammunition, and even military clothing for the upcoming winter. several countries of are, are working together to expand capacity in the mirror. industrial british ukraine is not asking for soldiers from any other country. the ukrainians are willing to fight for themselves. all they ask for is the means to do it. on thursday, nato wants to discuss among its members how can restock its arms, due to extensive aid to ukraine. the alliance's own weapon stores are running low. ok, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. pyongyang has launched 2 long raged strategic cruise missiles. now that's according to

more offensive weapons for ukraine. they need tanks, they need more air defense and the western partners need to give it to them. this is the only thing that putin will react to. he's watching the messaging coming out of washington, out of berlin, out of brussels very closely and the speeches have zero effect on him the only thing that will change the dynamic in this war and give putin the same taste of some of the fear and intimidation that he is so successfully spreading across nato is to show that we are delivering results quickly and that western support will help ukraine secure a across nato is to show that we are delivering results decisive victory within the coming year. but unfortunately the speeches and the comments yes, of course it's important to say if you make this step, the results for you will be catastrophic. but we need to back that up with action in real time and giving the ukrainians the support they need to stand up to the russian offenses. and a further point just on this entire narrative, even the

if that is the argument, ukraine wants to make virtually every road and bridge in ukraine is fair game as well. it is a red line. well within russia, a russian bridge. and we have to think about that is, is that really a military target for ukraine or was it there and hitting civilian infrastructure for political purposes? they could not have imagined that it would have stopped with the supply of military equipment sick, right. but surely, they knew it could jeopardize the flow of essential for the civilian population. and people have to remember from 2014 until the special military operation began. ukraine caught all fresh water off who probably to torment the civilian population . there was no military reason for that. so this is just a continuation of that mind that that policy in kiev and amongst its western sponsor. ok. another aspect to bring you on a busy news, a bell, russian president, alexander lucas shank. list that his country is to deploy a joint group of military forces with russia. these forces have been formed over the past 2 days. the group mainly consists of bella, lu

to a class on the war in ukraine. the history of the present in which we're trying to go back into the past to do our very best to events that are happening before our eyes in the present tense. and today's class going to be an overview. the war with, our typical back and forth between past and present. and i'm going try to explain is not a class in mathematics in the least, but a rather simple formula. that's there on the blackboard for those who can see it. and the formula is a is not equal to b plus c. and i'll explain in just a moment that rather mysterious mathematic formula in practice means is a is a variable that stands for russian aspirations with its military and foreign policy. that's one side of the equation. b is the foreign policy and military aspirations of ukraine and c are the military, foreign affairs, espionage of the united states b and c have gone along pretty well for the last six months. and you've witnessed a very close partnership between ukraine and the united states. so in that b plus c adds

ukraine and its citizens have suffered greatly, but the people and the nation of ukraine indoor. they are an inspiration to all. the nations gathered here today are committed to the assisting of ukraine defending itself. ukraine continues to fight with bravery and honor and of ukrainian military is making continued progress as you see in their counteroffensive's. in it the khaki, luhansk, and everywhere. they have fought extraordinarily well. in the discussions with this contact group today, they were about meeting ukraine's current needs and also supporting them in the long haul. we focused on air defense, canon artillery, rocket artillery, maneuver tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, also discuss training and a wide variety of nonlethal's of work. these systems and the associated ammunition are critical for ukraine to continue to fight back and they are employing these weapons extremely well. so i will stop there and i think you and welcome your questions. >> mr. secretary, chairman p thank you very much. our first question will go to john from the ne

of any kind against ukraine or any other states. thank you. should have missed. i thank the representative of ireland for his statement and i'll give the floor to the representative of brazil. mr. president, that new start by thanking very dr. able for his briefing from 5 to 9 september. the part is the biological weapons convention, how the formal consultations in geneva, and the article 5 d w. c. in accordance with the procedures established at the review conferences of the convention. on the occasion, russia presented its concerns regarding alleged to be a logical, biological weapons developed jointly by the united states and the grain, you know, in your territory by christ. the part is to the convention. listen to the comments of the 2 countries on the russian gravitas we take note of the arguments presented by the russian federation as well as of the draft resolution put forward. since this is the 1st time i complain to ease being brought to the security council and articles 6 of the b w. c. it is essential to establish procedu

tonight, nato stepping up its military backing for ukraine. the western alliance saying strengthening kyiv's air defenses is a top priority and this time it is not just talk. ukraine has received the first of four long-awaited german antimissile systems. also coming up, a fresh wave of attacks on civilian targets in ukraine. missiles raining down on towns and cities across the country for a third day in a row. and the film world adding its voice and graphic imagery to the protest over a young woman killed by iran's so-called morality police. ♪ i'm brent goff. to our viewers watching, welcome. we begin tonight in brussels, where boosting ukraine's antimissile defenses is a top priority for nato leaders. there western alliance meeting for the first time since russia illegally annexed several ukrainian territories last month. secretary general jens stoltenberg saying a wave of russian attacks on civilians in recent days is a sign of moscow's weakness. >>. days -- for days, his country has been attacked from the air. it came as germany delivered

and ukraine will win in any way. we all are heard our president who was actually talking to us this morning and people in the shelter if they started seeming ukrainian songs and even, you know, playing the piano when they had some musical instruments. so the mood is not really depressive. it's, it's not the case, but of course in kia but we've been without active shalean for quite a long time. that's why right now it was a very it was a shock for everyone. i think that was ok. president maria sir jenko speaking to us earlier about the missile attacks. now kiera roodick is a member of ukraine, parliament and the leader of the opposition voice party. and i also, what message she thinks russia wants to send with these fresh strikes. the message is at despair when the crimea bridge was destroyed and it was illegally built military object, was used to deliver a deliver rockets and supplies from russian army. they decided to attack the ukrainian infrastructure to lin infrastructure and to kill ukrainians whenever the art.

russia of wanting to wipe ukraine off the face of the earth. it just after eights in the morning, a russian missile finds its target. a glass bridge, a major tourist attraction in the heart of the ukrainian capital security cameras showing just how close one morning commuter comes to being caught up in the blast. across the city. a giant crater created by another strike just meters. mature jones play area many here a lucky to escape with their lives. who should i live over elsewhere, residence race to bomb shelters. among them alaina, who recently fled to the capital from her son, hoping it would be a safer environment. they want to destroy our people, our infrastructure, everything i wouldn't know, and i'm soon and we know by out here. so people shooter, cecilia, i don't know how to say why the strikes on the capsule of the 1st since june and come after russia's president. putin blamed ukraine for a blast on a bridge. lincoln crimea with russia. the weekend, speaking on the streets of keith, ukraine's president accused moscow of trying to wipe

to support ukraine. even more input, even stronger pressure on the terrorist state. each of the theories and war criminals, including war crimes suspects in these very chamber, will be held accountable sooner or later. and the terrorist state will pay for east terror bay with isolation, degradation, and assets bows of state in quasi private entities connected with these russian regime. but the world must react preventively in order not to last a whole car or other disaster happen. as president lindsey said yesterday, and he's addressed to the nation. the principle of preventive response to security threats should finally become one of the basic principles of international politics . and i think jeremy see, i think the representative of ukraine, who said december for his statement, and i'll give the flow to the representative care. thank you very much. mister president looking strongly condemns the ongoing russia unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against ukraine. it is a clear sign of a stron

ah, ukraine. the seems to be, and i'm basing this on information of the i m f seems to be, have been driving by hard good. we have made a contribution of rewards, diesel being the case by making available for those lilian to horizon between wilson, where we looked at next year and financial support for ukraine. we aim to developing over all approaches with our partners with united states. chromosome president in funder line, i breathed my colleagues from reader with theme president of the commission on the upcoming conference effect repairs on the reconstruction of ukraine, which will take place in berlin on the 25th of october. and so we're still coordinating with ukraine in that regard from for some remarkable sample. finally, at the end of our discussion, we also briefly touched upon the preparation of a club 20 st. been reviewed in each shipment in november and the i'm coming to you and some barbara summit in brussels in september of 2 possibly be of the not in a nutshell, we're talking $27.00

and which is controlled by ukraine. that is very close to the front line and we've seen a tax on cities rising in the past few months. that wouldn't close to the front lines, that hockey support easy. and that is nikolai, if these are also cities that are in these territories, that the russian claim, as russian speaking, as somehow linked to russia and that russia has laid claims to in the past. support is, you know, also being a city that is on, on one of these or, or that is as being the next, the, the depletion region, which is the capital off, is one of the territories that russia has a next illegally. and that also makes it a target, but yes, you've been following this for a while. what do you think could be the motive behind this striking up reject? could it be in response to the bridge attack in crimea this weekend? i think that there are 2 possible motives strikes on civilians. one is a 2, a series to, to so fear about among the population. and the other one is revenge. and both are probably a motive here in thi

so yes, ukraine is, is a proxy. and so are all the other new members of nato and nato, from its very founding 1949 when it was committed to the destruction of the soviet union. it exists as really a criminal alliance of pirates and looters in an effort to destroy the russia today and earlier. so we shouldn't be surprised that they're using the ukraine as a proxy and they have no intention of ending. it won't come from a nato decision to end this war. karen and that war may become at a certain point and they can't pursue it. they've been really set back. that doesn't mean they will stop. other attempts to other countries. i'm sure they won't stop here. here and if we can put it into context here, i mean, if you look at american foreign policy, what is the strategic value of ukraine? i mean, it's never been, all of a sudden it is. and i would even say in a european context that ukraine doesn't play any planning strategic role in their security thinking. but all of a sudden it does. and this is creating a moral hazard

is this an ominous sign for ukraine? i think in it's very interesting the timing of the appointment of this commander because a lot of experts were saying we need to supply ukraine with war weapons and to be able to resist russia. but essentially it's down to leadership, to command and, and to morale of the troops and not so much their equipment. and that's one thing that's russia has been lacking from the very start, because they had 4 commanders in ukraine which they switched around. april on general, alex, 100 warren the cause became a commander, i think of that of the sovereign group. he was also in syria. however, whatever was happening on the battlefield, it had to go to higher military ash alarms and then be reported to the general staff. and so the decision making was complicated and they were losing time. and there was a complete chaos when it came to command. and now today, as a new general gets appointed, somebody who has a very interesting track record in terms of what he did in syria at the same time. this n

ukraine. i spoke with victoria been yesterday. -- victoria newman yesterday -- we have to get them the weapons they need. when i was in ukraine, the last time, i heard from our embassy staff that they had gone to a tanker restaurant they knew they were american but did not know they were with the embassy and on the takeout who'd they wrote thank you for the high marks. there are ukrainians naming their kids rep high mark right now they are forever grateful -- for those and javelins and other weapons that we have provided and they will always have an ongoing need. it was interesting, when i was there we now have a set military high-ranking general dealing with what their needs are for military so there's not as much confusion as there understandably was at the beginning of the war. and of course president zelenskyy has immediate needs some are classified which i cannot talk about -- after visiting -- but, i think you know there are needs they have right now and some of them have, so that is par

don't ask, is ukraine la hans is ukraine and ukraine remains ukraine. last week, president vladimir putin proclaimed for ukrainian regionally to be part of russia in an opulent ceremony at the kremlin. but i can't resist. you're. the move followed a series of what the west called shamrock randoms, held at gunpoint in ukraine's russian occupied east and south. russia defends the votes, saying they were meant to stop the persecution of ethnic russians and russian speakers by ukraine. the results speak for themselves the people in these regions do not want to return to ukraine. they've made an informed and free choice in favor of our country family. now the showing at the un general assembly was stronger than many predicted evan. this is a message to russia. it's the message from the world that they need to cease their aggression against ukraine. the vote followed one of russia's biggest attacks on ukraine since its invasion began in february. with miss al, strikes in more than 20 ukrainian cities, including keith, the capital did have news washington. you

is this an ominous sign for ukraine? i think in it's very interesting to the timing of the appointment of this commander because i, a lot of experts were saying we need to supply ukraine with more weapons to be able to resist russia. but essentially it's down to leadership, to command them and to morale officer troops and not so much their equipment. and that's one thing that russia has been lacking from the very start, because they had 4 commanders in ukraine which they switched the round, the april general like 100 or nickel, became commander or i think of the of the 1000 group. he was also in syria. however, whatever was happening on the battlefield, it had to go to higher military ash alarms and then be reported to the general staff. and so the decision making was complicated and they were losing time. and there was a complete chaos when it came to command. and now today, as a new general gets appointed, somebody who has a very interesting track record in terms of what he did in syria at the same time. this new gener

i look forward to continuing to advance our support for ukraine. hold russia accountable for its aggression, insure, respect for human rights in democratic values and build sustainable economic growth . way to make malone declaration of loyalty, all about ukraine, russia and america's priorities. money may want to get used to that though it comes with the territory. when being an ally of washington often means serving as of the state in the promotion of its own interest. even if it ends up being a detriment to those of your own country. finally, an international conference on rebuilding ukraine is taking place in berlin today. we're both european commission president on the german chancellor announced funds to support kids for decades. that is why we gather here today to discuss how to ensure and how to sustain the financing of the recovery, reconstruction and modernization of your train for years and decades to come. so that's what it is. what does a stake here? nothing less than creating a new marshal plan for the 21st century. a generational tas

but what we do is that we provide support to ukraine. ukraine has the right for self defense. this is right which is enshrined in the you treat the every nation has the right to defend themselves against a war over aggression and brutal attack as seen against ukraine. and it's all laws are helping ukraine to pull the drive for self defense about those make part into the company. i'd like to ask you about nato enlargement, and in particular, ukrainian president followed amir lensky announced a bid for fast track membership of nato. he pointed to the examples of finland and sweden. will you agree to fast track nato's bit in the next 12 months? is something new that the ukraine has, the emission of joining nato. natal position remains unchanged, natal store is open. we have demonstrated that the last years with the north macedonia hamilton area with those with finn and, and, and, and of course we also strongly committed the message of every nation has a lot to choose on policy, including of course, ukraine, at the end of the day it will be for the $13.00 on ukraine to decide the

but what we do is that we provide support to ukraine. ukraine has the right for self defense. this is right which is enshrined in the treaty. every nation has the right to defend themselves against a war over aggression and brutal attack as seen against ukraine. and it's all laws are helping ukraine to pull the drawing for self defense, but that those make us popped into the com. i'd like to ask you about nato enlargement, and in particular, ukrainian president followed the miracle lensky announced a bid for fast track a membership of nato. he pointed to the examples of finland and sweden. will you agree to fast track nato's bit in the next 12 months? is something new that the ukraine has, the emission of joining nato. natal position remains unchanged, natal store is open. we have demonstrated that the last year is with the north macedonia hamilton with those with finn and, and, and then of course, we also strongly committed the message of every nation as not to choose on policy, including of course, ukraine. at the end of the day. it will be for the $38.00 on ukraine to this

well, they've all stressed the fact that ukraine is the one that needs to be in the leading role. ukraine needs best knows best what it needs. but of course, ukraine has already said that it needs roughly some $750000000000.00 in terms of re building its country. and there is something, but here on the table when politicians are going to have to stay realistic as well, they are going to have to look at. can we ever really, for example, use russian rushes, frozen assets like as the ukranian president demanded for reimbursing ukraine for some of the war damages that have been caused. now what's going to come out of this meeting is not going to be some sort of early international political paper, but they are going to pool all the express recommendations. and this is just the beginning of a very long process. but this is one of the messages that's coming out from here already as well. we're only starting this process, but we have to start it now because we can't wait for the war to be over. because russia has very clearly formulated the goal of destroying view crane as a country, making sure

to provide ukraine with the support it needs. at least 10 ukrainian cities were hit, including leave -- including leave and zaporizhzhia. ukraine says at least 11 people have been killed, 64 injured. it's the most widespread russian bombardment since the start of the war. paul adams reports from kyiv. paul: after months of quiet in the capital, the war is back. for three chaotic hours this morning, the missiles kept coming. for one young woman already recording her own sense of shock, a narrow escape. my bbc colleague hugo was broadcastingive when it all began. >> they want panic and chaos. they want to destroy our energy system. they are hopeless. the second target is people. such goals were chosen to do as much damage as possible. were ukrainians. help each other, we believe in ourselves. we restore everything that is destroyed. paul: tourist locations were hit too. the city's famous glass bridge. at times it felt like a city being punished in its favorite, most iconic places. for many it meant a hasty return to bomb shelters n

ukraine. ukrainian president followed amir zalinski is addressing the com work congress by video link . it is estimated that hundreds of billions of euros will be necessary to rebuild the country. sholtes and european commission president ursula found a line r calling to international community to the international community to put together a so called marshall plan for ukraine. conference organizers say that reconstruction is a generational mission and a key step towards ukraine joining the european union as burgundy w chief, political correspondent, nina hossa was standing by for us at the location there. and nina, tell us a little bit more about the main message that leaders want to convey in their opening speeches that we are waiting to hear. well you can see behind me, germany's chancellor left charles and the head of the european commission was left on the lion. they're still waiting for the ukrainian prime minister finish me, how to arrive of the guests have already arrived. so the, the

but there is a long time to to get equipment to ukraine. b at what an ad offenses or other are to re systems that we've been discussing for the past months already. and so it has been taken at the decision quite a while back. and now the systems arriving to crate and, and have in effect and protecting civilian areas and military targets that russia seeks to disrupt and destroy us. what's missile campaign of the last couple of weeks now. now 2 members have been mindful about helping, without triggering a wider war in europe, given russia's warnings against supplying advanced weaponry to keep. how is russia and likely to react to this latest boost to ukraine's missile defense? i think i'll step up step on the, on their escalation that are we've seen various efforts to, to metal with infrastructure in europe, not pipeline comes to mind and we've seen middle garages in that civilian targets in ukraine. what i think all of us indicates is that russia is recognizing that they have little means to affect the balance of forces on the battlefield. a
