or the war in ukraine. that might be the case for other administrations, it might be the case for presidential candidates in 2024, that's very possible, but, for those who have the keys to the foreign policy kingdom, those who are making the decisions, these arguments have not had any traction whatsoever, so, the question we have to answer them, not the full question of why americans are not indifferent to the warren ukraine, the question that we have to answer is, why is there such a high level of commitment and concern for a country that is far away? for which there are no real economic interests, that does involve, supporting this country involves conflict with one of the world's major nuclear powers, the u.s., is in many ways, putting itself on the line in the worn ukraine, we have to figure out why this might be the case, let me try to explain as best as i can. i've tried to do this with as much intellectual empathy as i can for the kremlin and for the ukrainian government. let me try to explain the mo

russia has so fired into ukraine. and the u.s. has limited ukraine's ability to return fire. that is no way to fight a war. we have essentially, in the west, endorsed sanctuary for russia inside of russia. and we seem to make public statements which enforce that. the audience is not only russia but our allies and people that we are not going to give the ukrainians the ability to fire back into russia. that is not a war that i would want to fight as a wartime commander. i've said in my earlier remarks, if we believe that there is going to be -- and i agree with steve, if we believe that there is going to be an invasion from the north, ukraine will need to strike that invasion before it crosses the border. we all understand how close kyiv is to the border with belarus, and we will need to strike. i want to quit because you wanted short answers but the bottom line is, yes, we need to work with our allies and others for policy that allow ukraine to do to russia what russia has been doing to ukraine. for nearly a year. john: thank you, steve hadley, there is regular talk between a

but ukraine can't be successful and getting back its territory unless it beats russia back and the ukraine needs the tools to do so. and i think the clarity that this won't end until ukraine forces and ending on its own terms by having a territory back that this is square one. and we're seeing more mobilization to give you creating the tools to make that happen. nato has also valve to support while dover, ga, and bosnia. we've all been shaken by russia's invasion. i mean it is extending its security umbrella very wide, or at least the hopes of being under this umbrella. alpha can it stretch before it stretches too much? well, if the hope of the umbrella right, because if the umbrella had extended to give in february, we wouldn't be where we are today. and so this hope for countries to be able to enter remains the symbolic nature of bucharest, and best summits there themselves, bosnia, moldova, georgia, have the hope of entry, but that hope rests on ukraine winning. because russia is trying to stop this process, stop countries from joining nato in ukraine. and so the proof is going to be in

my answer is ukraine. but we are not observe us and us. ukraine is better prepared to put it will be able to push filter. i'm to dr. russians alt if we get to support . right. and will we get it right? i think the general population would allow the government to do more and always to measurements. did we do much? yes, we did too much, but the other measurement is, does ukraine have what is necessary to militarily wind this war and dare we need to do more? thank you very much. thanks to all of you for being with us today. and thank you to our viewers for tuning in, check out our youtube channel and tell us what you think about the program with pleasure to see you. good bye. with ah, with ah, this is characterizes most dangerous slum. but at night, the neighbourhood shows its real potential seen uplift, amanda greens, cinema to the people, and unites them the social initiative to during the corona pandemic, and has become an important part of the community. over 3000 in 30 minutes on d. w. we can keep doing

once the guns fall, sign it and ukraine, he said the leave weapons will come. we notice from many other theaters of complex, the criminals are even now as we speak, focusing on criminal groups. again, this is still quoting, the head leader poll criminal groups, try to exploit these chaotic situations and the availability of weapons, even those used by the military and including heavy weapons. these will be available on a criminal mark, it will create a challenge. no country region can deal with it in isolation because these groups operate at a global level. cro again, the same interpol chief, we can expect and in plot. so weapons in europe and beyond. we should be alarmed, and we have to expect these weapons to be traffic not only to neighboring countries, but the other content in august 2022 c. b s. news did a documentary and they have an article about the documentary, again, why military and 8 and ukraine may not always get to the front lines. and they have detail how they estimated back in april. jonas omen. who's the founder and ceo, blue yellow list, the a

is still standing behind the ukraine and that us will be supporting ukraine. because if ukraine were to lose the help of the united states, europe combined wouldn't be able to make up for that help, both in terms of financial aid and in terms of military aid. so it's very important to make sure that the united states doesn't withdraw. and of course, lansky might plead to get more advanced weapons souls of the ukrainian forces can achieve the aims, outlined by lensky to push back to russian forces and to retain crimea. especially important that says, amidst the skepticism growing among european leader as such as macro and who is considering that the risk of venue for a dialogue was put in ok. the key role of the united states will be keeping a close eye on not meeting. of course. thank you so much for joining us with that update. i think marina myron meanwhile, vladimir putin has vowed russia will achieve all its goals in ukraine. in an address to, to fence chiefs, the russian president told them the military would receive whatever it needed without financial l

ah ah ah ah, this is dw is leih from berlin, no christmas truth and ukraine. keith, commander and chief, one of the new russian on floors in the weeks to come as possible, stepped up the mystery for the civilian population. european union leader and profit agree on 18000000000 euros in fresh age for ukraine. and a 9th package of factions against russia and supporters of petals often lead a federal castiel step up and demands for his release of 14 him in custody for 18 months on charges of rebellion. ah, i'm no massage asked while welcome to the program. ukraine's commander in chief is wanting of a fresh rush. an assault on the captain cube and the coming weeks. both sides have indicated they will not be a crystal ceased bio moscow's later strike on civilian infrastructure have knocked out critical power supplies on the 15th of kasan and khaki. ukrainian infrastructure is coming under almost daily russian bombardments this among the latest attacks with rockets severely damaging a warehouse in the northeastern city of hark, eve prompting the city mer to urge res

is ukraine's biggest backer and biggest supporter. and absolutely wants to thank the taxpayers and also from all accounts the investment by the united states has been one that's worked. it's an investment that you can see paying off on the ground over the last ten months. ukraine is doing so much better than anybody imagined almost exactly ten months ago. so he wants to tell that story as well. and i think, also, i asked him whether it was true what he had said when president biden apparently at the very beginning offered to evacuate him. he said, no, i don't need a ride, i need ammunition. he confirmed that to me. and he said i will still say that. many, many military experts believe that he needs more long-range artillery, perhaps attack and surveillance drones, those kinds of hard-core military technology to fight this war. but, look, this is not for the faint of heart here. and the u.s. has put itself behind this fight because it's not about ukraine only, it is about the entire world order that the u.s., since churchill came to th

, 18000000000 euros that ukraine is expected to get next year. we have to say that the leaders here states united however, we also have to add that it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain united. the longer this war is dragging on speaking of consequences of this war. we also have the decision to grant another country candidate status for you. membership. tell us more about that. well bosnia herzegovina has been granted sir candidate status. and we have to earn the stress here that this is a country with the existing political and ethnic tensions. and this is also a country that sir has seen a lot of russian interference in internal affairs. so by granting bosnia herzegovina, a candidate status, the european union is saying, we want to give you this a european union membership perspective. but we also a want to counter rushes influence in the region d. w for alexandra phenomena following that summit for us in brussels. thank you. let's take a look at some other story of making headlines around the world today. how's and gathered his danvi

if they want to get money to ukraine. what do they do? so in a consolidated matter with each other, using other mechanisms including subsets of states are pulling together to enhance corporation, or if they do it individually and unlikely. but at the end of the day they have these options. and so they can get that money to ukraine and at the end of the day, if they want to, they can also reduce then the budget of the broader you and, and kind of do things more independently. that is actually going to be harmful for hungry. hungary is among the most dependent on you budget. so to kind of we can the overall you budget relative to individual countries by just is not going to be hungry, expressed interest. and so it is feasible that hungry will understand this and will reverse this decision that it's showing right now. but even if it doesn't to other member states, definitely have ways to not reliant hungry to do something like deliver 8. let's talk about a serbia. how can they even increase pressure on membership candidates

but washington is one of ukraine's biggest supporters. and what happens here now could be crucial with us politicians preparing to vote on a spending package that includes around $45000000000.00 in emergency assistance to ukraine. or washington correspondent mackay dakota is covering the story. i asked her about the expectations in the us regarding so lensky visit was that the, i mean, this is understood as very strong symbolism and as is meant as such towards rasa where after all, vladimir putin is addressing his chief commanders at this very day that voted may zalinski is actually daring to leave his country for the 1st time in 10 months of wool. so that's quite a symbolic act. and we are also learning from a senior official this and that there will be a sit down with joe biden, an in depth, strategic talk. and that's the language that was used to discuss the way ahead of course, or with an eye on the u. s. budget in congress right now. the u. s. is ukraine's biggest fonda and it wants to remain as thought that certainly what too wide w

ukraine has been using drones against russian targets inside ukraine since the start of the war. they've mostly been fairly small and short range. but, recently, airbases have been mysteriously attacked deep inside russia, which is prompting speculation that ukraine may have acquired a drone with a range of up to a thousand kilometres. the air bases are home to some of russia's largest strategic, nuclear capable bombers, used to fire the very cruise missiles that have been targeting ukraine's infrastructure. in early november, rumours started circulating about a possible russian withdrawal from kherson city. when rumour became reality, the kremlin distanced itself from this serious setback, leaving it to the defense ministry to explain it to the public. translation: i understand this is a very difficult - decision, but at the same time we will preserve the lives of our service personnel and, in general, the combat capability of the group of forces. so here's where we are now. russia still occupies roughly a fifth of ukraine, including most of its coastline. much of the heavy figh

this is a proxy war that russia is fighting ukraine, but ukraine remains as he put it today or yesterday, a brotherly country. imagine, after 8 to 8 months of war, he still considers your going to be a brotherly country about the nation. but that it's been manipulated as he put it by the united states that has been meddling in ukraine now for a number of years. of course, it's been going on for 2 years now since 2014, when russia and next crimea. and you were in those 8 years, the americans, chris kind of changed policy from obama to trump to by then. but by then we took the initiative before and certainly after the invasion of ukraine. now it's a full fledged war. the united states is involved by proxy, there's no doubt. and the delivery of patrick missiles is making or sending a message to russia that the united states will stay behind the ukrainians resistance of that occupation. and that they will up the game in the sense that now the next brushing fighter jet or ballistic missile, it's gonna fly over ukraine. there's going to be some serious defense system to different ukraine again

my answer is ukraine, but we are not observe us and this ukraine has better prepared to put it will be able to push felder m to dr. russians alt if we get to support right. and will we get it right? i think the german population would allow the government to do more and always 2 measurements. did we do much? yes, we did too much, but the other measurement is, does ukraine have what is necessary to militarily wind this war? and dare we need to do more? thank you very much. thanks to all of you for being with us today and thank you to our viewers for tuning in. check out our youtube channel and tell us what you think about the program. pleasure to see you. goodbye. a with ah. a with oh cool. with i wish i could have done more save you a just a click away. find out best documentary on you to really good morning to see the world as you've never seen it before. dr. now, to d w documentary, will you become a criminal, a ready news with hackers, paralyzing the tire societies? computers that are some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, h

of ukraine are producing it. ukrainian defense industry is destroyed through air strikes and it is on us to support ukraine. and i think even the signal of scaling up production capacities would already send the communication to putin that we will do whatever is necessary and he should not calculate that over time. he can gain the upper hand again. i think that is very important now. so it's not only the production of the ammunition itself, it's also the communication vis a vis putin and of course we have not been ready for a full scale war in europe and stockpiles have not been prepared. i think that's not only true for germany. i think that's true for many countries and i think we must just now acknowledge that the idea of producing everything just in time and then bring it mobility to places everywhere is not compatible with crisis prevention and with being prepared for a war and disaster? i think that's not only in the military part, that's also in the civilian part. and what that clearly indicates is that ru

the president of ukraine went over there, met with the troops, took a flag of ukraine, had it signed by the troops and said he will deliver it to the american people in the american congress as a message of thanks. when i asked him, even a month ago, and they still stick to this, whether it's enough already and they should bow to certain sectors of the international opinion who say they should negotiate, he said absolutely not. he said that's just what putin wants. here's what he told me. >> translator: the current military and political leadership of russia needs a pause in one form or another. just like an agreement or some other agreement they needed a pause. they would gather up their strength, money, weapons, they would get ready, they would lay out the information for their own society. and when all of that has been prepared, they start their offensive. because there is only one goal, to destroy our independence. >> reporter: and so, the ukrainians believe that the russians are somehow preparing a new ground offensive, including keeping kyiv in play, or some time you know, duri

>> well, there are no flights out of ukraine. when we fly to ukraine, we fly into poland and then we go by car, over the border, that's how almost everybody gets here, that's how president zelenskyy got out of the country, and to get out of the country, he had to wait for public opinion to allow him, because remember, the first part of the war, he made a point, and the ukrainian people cheered him for this, of not leaving the country, and remember, the americans asked him, do you basically, you want us to get you out of there, and he replied in a kind of a hollywood one-liner, i need ammunition, not a ride. so this was his whole thing, he was staying in ukraine, he was always going to remain there, and it says something about the state of play here on the battlefield, that now, there's been so much success over the past couple of months, ever since summer, beating back the russian lines, that now, he's able to go and to give, you know, basically show gratitude, and that gratitude was shown from the ordinary ukrainian people, as y

sure ukraine would be prepared to defend itself even before they crossed into ukraine. we provided a steady stream of defensive weapons. from the very beginning, the united states rallied allies and partners from around the world to stand strong with ukraine and oppose unprecedented sanctions on russia making it harder for the kremlin to wage his brutal war. more than 50 nations committed nearly 2000 tanks and other armored vehicles. antiship and air defense systems all to strengthen ukraine, together we provided billions of dollars in direct budgetary support to make sure that ukrainian governments can keep providing basic fundamental services like health care, education, and emergency personnel. this includes another $2 billion in a direct budget support from the american people that the world bank distributed earlier this week. we provided humanitarian assistance to help the millions of ukrainians who were forced to flee their homes because of putin's a brutal war. communities have open their hearts and homes to help ukrainians in need. the u.s. as been proud to welc

and it's been critical to bolster and ukraine success thus far. ukraine has won the battle of ki, has won the battle of care san has won the battle of car key. ukraine has defied russia expectations at every single turn. and president lunch came zones. can you have made it clear that he is open to pursuing? well let me put this way, he's not open the, you're open in pursuing peace. you're open to pursuing a just peace. we also know the food has no intention, no intention of stopping his crew war and the united states is committed to ensuring that the brave ukrainian people can continue, continue to defend their country against russian aggressions, as long as it takes no one to thank the members of congress and their for their broad bipartisan support to ukraine. and i look forward to signing the omnibus omnibus bill soon, which includes 45000000000 dollars, 45000000000 dollars an additional funding for ukraine. i'll also sign in law. the national defense authorization act, which includes the author authorities for to make it easier for the department defense to procure critical muniti

ukraine has been using drones against russian targets inside ukraine since the start of the war. they've mostly been fairly small and short range. but, recently, airbases have been mysteriously attacked deep inside russia, which is prompting speculation that ukraine may have acquired a drone with a range of up to a thousand kilometres. the air bases are home to some of russia's largest strategic, nuclear capable bombers, used to fire the very cruise missiles that have been targeting ukraine's infrastructure. in early november, rumours started circulating about a possible russian withdrawal from kherson city. when rumour became reality, the kremlin distanced itself from this serious setback, leaving it to the defense ministry to explain it to the public. translation: i understand this is a very difficult decision, - but at the same time we will preserve the lives of our service personnel and, in general, the combat capability of the group of forces. so here's where we are now. russia still occupies roughly a fifth of ukraine, including most of its coastline. much of the heavy figh

hostility towards ukraine. blaming ukraine for russian meddling. flirting with the ideas of maybe crimea annexation is ok. at the same time provide missiles. one of the things that the piece looked at, initially paul manafort was in discussion with his former ukrainian allies. a plan that would have basically given the east of the country, the east of ukraine autonomy. under the leadership of manafort's former clients that were considered pro-russian. there is probably an accurate view if that plan had gone forward with a trump implement tour, what manafort ukrainian allies were seeking. perhaps that would've staved off for with russia. it would have broken ukraine as a sovereign country. cleaved off its most important region. who knows what that would've led to. that did not get very far because paul manafort was quickly enmeshed in the russia investigation himself among other reasons. maybe that would have changed the dynamic. you can see trump going either way. the u.s. intelligence community concluded after the 2020 election, yet again, even af

we complain rightly about what is happening in ukraine. but what is happening in ethiopia is really awful. the war stems from a long standing confrontation between the government and the authorities of the autonomous t gray region. it's blocked a huge humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 5000000 people facing starvation. even though a ceasefire agreement has been in place since november, ethiopians have criticized eve foreign policy chief years that burrell accusing him of not doing enough to help and the suffering. what, what i understood from burrell statements is that they don't want us to stay united by dividing us along ethnic lines, religion and language. it is because they don't want peace to prevail, that they are going back and fanning the conflict so that we go back to war and remain week so on. but now we have peace in our country, but they go back and try to bring up old wounds so that we go to war again. they look like they are helping us to reconcile it. but then you see them working hard to take us back to ward. my
