Most go has approached european members of parliament. This also bates, european members of parliaments in order to promote a russian agenda here. Gramlin will continue using this information, my line interference corruption, and any of the 23 we met, state firm stands against this form of corruption and betrayal. Multiple additions political parties, so governments most probably could have been agents. Our democracy cannot be taken for granted. The goal is very clear. A recon to repeat and support for ukraine, serves russia on the battlefield. Its also coming up, fight until you die. Ukraines parliament scraps a propos time limit on Soldiers Service at the front. Its a bit of blow for families waiting to see them loved ones. Much. All husbands are being punished for the patriotism, football and tearing to fight when the war stones with my husband told me, i cant just sit around. I have to say someone needs to defend this country, so if i dont go who will my husbands exhausted . Hes only 29 and hes already gone. Great. Really welcome to the day in 2 months, people in 27. Your opinion, countries will vote in the elections the to be a new policy, and it should be a celebration of european democracy officials, arkansas. But russia is attempting to influence the outcome. My fears were aroused at the end of march when the check governments shut down the news side called voice of your products and beyond. That was being paid by russia to spread propaganda on the final cash to sympathetic lawmakers into your pay and parliament. Politicians from germany, france, poland, belgium, the netherlands, and hungry, well electorate, to be given cash and exchange for making pro russia remarks. Well, today belgiums prime minister, alexandra decruz, that hes country, had a formal investigation into the obligations. You said russian spine that works for uprising in belgium on several of your fee and countries. According to our intelligence service, the objectives of moscow are very clear. The objective is to help elect more pro russian candidates duty. It will be in parliament and to reinforce a certain pro russian narrative in that institution. The goal is very clear. A recon to europe and support for ukraine serves russia on the battlefield, and that is a real aim of what has been covered in the last weeks. Yvonne christa is a Research Fellow at the International Center for the defense and security in the stony and capital talent. Hes an expert in Russian Foreign and domestic policy. A welcome to the day. I guess we shouldnt be surprised that russia seeking to influence your opinion actions certainly though there should be no surprise, a lot of process continued in times to interfere in democratic processes around the world. Right now, europe and north america are particularly important targets because the governments in industry regions are giving help to ukraine, argument monitoring systems, financial support, and all kinds of political and diplomatic aid. Your particular is important for us right now, because it is the duty to a, to, to you for your credit. So russia, intervening in the politics of europe is med street disrupt that, a supply of age and us change the strategic environment where rough as fighting against are going to achieve what so, because even they say they change a couple of votes thats not going to, thats not going to change the, the way that the European Union as a block orientated the United States as a, as a block up thinks of ukraine. Is it . You start from the, to the point. Theres not so much to have a breaking point to have a moment where it all breaks down some onto the, continually continuously. The pressure on the societies continuously undermine the credibility of the surface in front of the brother population. Thats what this information dos its meant to create the skepticism. Divide society, explain to the position start already exist on with time. And actually there will be a moment where theres a shift where our will to support ukraine on the will to defend ourselves on our will to stand up to russia or undermine. And thats the long term view of the rest, the house door towards the side of things. And weve also seen this happening in the czech republic. So should we presume that is going on elsewhere across europe as well . Definitely every come from europe is looked at the rough shot through this lens. So this hostile lens of undermining our institutions of 5 inhibitions of disseminating this information and promoting the addition of the war of aggression with us to crank. And this is something that an all american countries must look into to, to see how it affects them and how to operate with all other partners and allies to precisely defend themselves and to protect themselves against is constant hybrid or. And so the back to drop to, to they said costs is your fee and call them entry elections in june in which themselves are expecting to see an increase in the number of right wing and pro russia candidates and passes. Certainly without thinking about specific barked is we can one pattern with the rest of this information on rough im subject. Communications is the, is the rustle right though, so not the legitimate participant in International Relations because of its aggression against your crime. So its message doesnt really have wide spread purchased across the side. It is. So it really underestimates in different just on, on the margin. So called spectrum which happens to be very awesome. And the far left or the far right. Im right now with the shift some are as politics rushes, particularly trying to capitalize on much rice. And so just to be clear, is it illegal to pay you are paying that . I mean, pays and is it a legal for them to receive payment . This is something the, the dont many specific regulations. I dont want to mislead the audience. And by saying that its definitely legal or legal done differently. Dark ethical questions when it comes to accepting payments for disseminating specifically best messages or not engaging in Due Diligence when it comes to writing the appearances when it comes to associations. So i will start with ethical questions on the legal elements. Its something to be uh uh to review. Okay, because it costs a lot of the empowerment does have full when it comes to corruption, its phone the Vice President , eva kyle. Hes currently fighting obligations connected to the so called katasha gate scandal. So to this refers, combined large under capable, hostile power. Now there are many other actors that are to be way maybe even without the as wide emissions as rough uh, when it comes to International Relations with dr. So there was somebody trying to promote an advance sort agendas. So it is an expert in this seminar mechanisms. 18th, because of cost. I mean, im glad you, youre right. That its, its not to just rush it emetrius. I suppose the various this tendency to, to suspect or to see russia or pollutants hand behind pretty much everything that goes wrong. Always is rush over to the brush to do that. Did rustic cause this election to go this way . Im not. I mean, i mean thats in your mind, i suppose to some extent that winning thats the most current. Indeed, with the russell wants to be seen as a great power and as a major player in Global Politics on, in your defense who wants to be seen or stopped. That said, lets russia it still stung silence because of its intent because the actors, you know, let me click upon marco they, there. I am certain of us a comprehensive on that they dont have of intention to complete, to redraw the your security arbor. Right . Youre, youve written this. Russian babbling is more fat without crossing the threshold into outright wool. So how difficult does that makes it calibrating a response . It makes it makes it quite difficult because indeed, traditional secure, dumped additional defense. They assume that there will be some sort of open the possibility of the opponent. Ready so that will make them themselves be seen and be evident that they are um, item your guns too. In this case, it is all through some version. Its smaller or something of the cold war. Although fault with new instruments, and in this case respond the best responses, rosul title resilience and we can go into the specifics but create in our society that is resilient in front of this information in front of the active measures of this political war for it can also have an effect of the tyrants. Im the stopping cost collectors from engaging and this type of deal with the when youre given as much to think about as we thank you for that event increased from the International Center for the defense and secure se in time. Thank you so much. Thank you. The ukraine is urgently appealing to its allies for more ad defend supplies as it struggles defends off the waves of russian. Ms. Sile and drug strikes. The coal comes in response to a renewed regression. The sofa, Energy Supplies and infrastructure drug strike has destroyed one, a few frames and major power funds to pill. Skip plants was the largest industry supplier for keys and 2 other regions like mazda, and as it was, studies senior fellow at kings coverage, london a welcome back. To the w mike. So Ukraine Defense has brought down 57 of the i to 2 incoming mixed 1000 drums. And what does this tell us about the state of new kinds . Air defense systems. What i look is always in a defense commander in charge of defending a city. Id want to take out every enemy, projects, all wheel drive and well play in that came towards me. Another thing is the lack of skill theyve been doing this for months. It tells us that they simply dont have the missiles and all the projectiles to take out incoming russian drones and planes and missiles. All right, im very suspicious. Bring a thing up for perhaps the last 6 months to a year of this will the lack of a temporary on the training side or is it has. Yeah, and this is specifically about the croft missle defense, which is most specialist. And ill tell her a, um, alternate munition, you producing great bulk and ship it to the front lines and then it gets part of the enemy. But as weve seen, you know, ac russian or either drives all kinds of missiles came out of a last night. So thats not very many, you dont need very many ad defense missiles, but each one is, is more expensive, more testing, you know, from the heat seeking. So that more technique and complicated then ill turn around and, you know, weve seen in the news again over the last year, the story i the, are they gonna get the American Patriot system . Are they gonna have enough themselves for it . This is part of the why the story in ukraine, which is the ukraine, doesnt really have all of the munition that it needs to put through the weapon systems. But its already been given. Russian has been targeting industry facilities across the crime since the beginning of the war. The rates of success appears not to be increasing. What has changed. Mm hm. Well absolutely. Theyve been doing it for about 18 months now, and that was, you know, it is a real crime. We do need to say that right, targeting Energy Facilities that civilians use is a will kind of. But, but whats changed is youll, youll view, as you probably know the over the last 6 months, ukraine has been starting to hit russian oil production, oil refinery facilities, and thats causing problems in russia. So there is a renewed russian focus on targeting a bit of a tit for tat, really targeting ukrainian supplies. And of course, as weve already mentioned, the kinds of running out sold the defensive missiles that they need. So this 60000000000. 00 worth of a for ukraine thats, thats still being blocked by the us congress. Anyway. The fact gets passed pretty quickly. How much difference tenants, how much time will it take to actually make a difference this . Uh well, uh, you know, some of some of what happens when appropriations get made is that it, it covers an order that goes into the us ministry stocks and the us ministry is able to immediately give away once it has and it stops. And then that order the, the gun from the appropriation will then result in the us military. So the question is really the balance between those 2. But to answer your question directly, its not going to make an immediate difference. Were talking, you know, a month, 6 weeks and was that goes on more and more days in russian drawings and planes of miss. Hows it going to get through the defenses . Control context transfer. Thats i guess, thats a clearly ministry unless mike boffin from Kings College monday. Thank you. Meanwhile, ukraines parliament has passed and you know, make it easier to call up new recruits. It requires old man age between 18 and 60 to carry documents showing that theyve registered with the ministry that will also provide. So just with the incentives, like cash bonuses, or money towards the cost of a house or call, a new troops, desperately need a head of the votes in parliament, a general told lawmakers that ukrainian soldiers ay number 10 to one in places. But that was bad news for surfing the troops. Parliamentarians dropped a clause from the little that would have place time limits on the Service Versus the life of the mobilization after 3 years. The emission is a bits of blog for baffled, barely troops, some of whom have been fighting since the war big to wear a Training Ground near keys in just a few weeks time. The soldiers will head back to the front lines where theyve been since about shooting. They did 2 years ago. That was last year. I got 5 days off. Lots of guys in my units have families who have gone abroad. Some have even to come from the office and theyve never met their grandkids hops. They never will. This isnt alex on this 1st experience of will. He served in the army of to 2014, when you crane was fighting russian bucks, that protest and dont boss. He left in 2020 to start to business, the family, his wife and his 3 year old daughter have barely seen him since he went back to his unit, tells to the full scale invasion that the if you its hold to be serving until 2025 you know that if you survive, you be going home. If people come make plans, they get depressed and then they start making mistakes. Alexandra tells us its not a question of wanting to lead straight away. Its about feeling some kind of control being able to plan your life that hes convinced would be somewhere around the mobilization of to 18 months on the front lines are a total of 36 Months Service with both discussed when this little made its way through parliament it was central to the russian now for the new pulling up the soldiers to give veterans a chance to recover. In the end, any mention of the mobilization was dropped with little pri warning for the new returning prisoners of to get an exception. Or see a good for the is preparing to mobilize at least 300000 man over the next 6 weeks. Thats in addition to 150000 during that movie service. That could be another wave of mobilization. And the alternative is to in this situation d, mobilizing experience soldiers would be suicide or open a window solution before, based on the way the soldiers wives and mothers protesting the parliament. Dont expect the husbands to come home right away. What they want is clarity, so much as you live account, husbands are being punished for the patriotism volunteering to fight when the war stones with my husband told me, i cant just sit around. I have to say someone needs to defend this country. So if i dont go to the who will my husbands exhausted, hes only 29 and hes already gone. Great. Slaverys for now. No one in new cranes, minute trio politics wants to make promises to these families that they know theyll most likely have to break. What they can do is make sure its not just those who volunteered in the, the days of the will. Theres a left defending ukraines front lines. In germanys chances that is of the china based weekend on the 3 day visit that promised to be something on a tightrope act as m. O, la schultz will be accompanied by a posse of german Business Leaders reflecting the fact that these countries investments in china is that right code levels. Despite the looming trade route between china, you repeat and union over subsidies, is the shelves, is also expected to press page and not to support russia and his will against ukraine. Or does showing a hold the key to the outcome of russias war against ukraine as german towns that were not sold heads on his 2nd visit to beijing prussian farm. And this, the 2nd left pro was already that vote on a mission to seek China Support over ukraine. Who loved ones. I wish certainly it wouldnt be that china uses the influence it has on russia. Good. Mustnt come on his last visit to the late 2020, to solve the claim to diplomatic when getting see, to public the push back on the russian president vladimir putin, new clearance right now to, to, in, has been ton to speaking of new to raising the question cash sold gets sheet to speak out again. Since the last visit germany has declared risking the cornerstone of its new, chinas trusting amount to the new which is tilting tough on satera trade. In europe, we have a very clear principle for dealing with china. The risk, not the couples talking to china clearly and hopefully its the right approach for jem and companies dont seem to be listening. Instead, theyve been investing more in china than ever before. Of record the 11900000000. Yours in 2023 alone. Chinese prison, she sees the concept of the rescue as a threat to his countrys development, pointing. Thats prime minister, my router of confrontation over attempts to limit china has access to the highest level of technology attends, backed up just schultz as visit its successful last week. The message by once he kind of chief on ukraine, schultz also knows that any Chinese Support and branding in russia wouldnt come for free from today. Definitely political correspondent, simon young. Welcome, simon. So what influence does germany have on china when it comes to basins backing for russia in the ukraine war as well . So i think if youre talking about the influence, you have to see a gym and a im trying that was imposing for jim and a i think its a bit more true than then the other way around that. And last year, jim and he came up with a new showing strategy talking about thats sort of tough for a price to hear about the risk getting that says i have a lever to use a fat button. Feels that it doesnt approve of something. China has done or, or might do i bought a lot sholtes, i think using kind tools. So i see the point that the gym and chinese trade is really important for jobs here. And so the German Economy is a whole, so, you know, its a tight right . Well, for when it comes to ukraine showed says what he was going off, the chinese authorities to sort of act as a media a to and in the ukraine will. Well, thats going to be difficult because, you know, china has been supporting russia is economy. And so i think when you know, the gym and officials talk about its showing is loss of reputation because its aligned weve, weve most go, you know, add that to it may be difficult to, to really persuade them to change cost. I might listen to bowling, but that influence is difficult store and the more about this job in a tight rope a was because we have the government in building the site and it wants to de risk its economic relationship with china while at the same time, same record levels of jim and a Business Investment there. Im to lots of people that seem somehow all od as well. Yeah. What to, what is the risking main . It means to reducing exposure in particular to political risks, but that is difficult to do again, as i said, but because theres such a close relationship between the, these 2 economies. And at the moment the gym and economy is weight. So a China Remains gemini, is Largest International trade in part and, and it produces cheap products for the gym and market gym and business. These things they can still compete on, on quality. And thats why, like continuing to invest in china. In fact, of course were really talking about just a few small i think big gym and company is a, its, its the chemicals. John b, i s f. Its the engineering john z minutes and the call may cuz their role as thinking about their relationship with john. If i can prevent, the risking may may in fact mean moving some production into china rather than pulling out. But smola a medium sized gem and businesses. I think of ready to change the approach end of already pulled some production away from, from joining a quick. What about another contentious issue with china . Ive thought of taiwan, where is germany on that issue . Or would you always go to friendly relations with the taiwan and you know, it has stepped top of things Like Corporation in the Civil Society and legal corporation. A gym and government administer visited to our one last year for the 1st time in 26 years. And you know, theres a lot of good words around it, but when it comes to the relationship between taiwan and beijing gym and is a lot, vega, it says, you know, stability across the Taiwan Strait is important for the Global Economy for the european economy, particularly a coast because of the role of taiwan and Semi Conductor production. But you know, again, the concerns from the land on this issue a likely to be heard, but in, by aging, but i doubt theyll be very much taken to also make much of a difference. Okay. And its not so im indeed have any political correspondent, simon. Yeah. And that is the dice at the end of the week, you can follow out same on social media at the w use lasers that headlines. Of course im dw, dont come on with the w, as in either from a team of today 10, suspending staff part of your day with us have a good day. A great weekend.
