And cube. He announced a new, a package worth over 1000000000. 00. Im to go for lincoln, berlin, and this is the day the im here, 1st and foremost, to demonstrate our ongoing and the term support for you for its a message the United States is sending today by announcing a new Security Assistance. Passive package. We want to make sure that the frame has what it needs, not only to succeed in the counter offensive, but thats what it needs for the long. What is being decided here in ukraine . This not just of us to crate this about the way the world will look like fundamental difference makers, the trainings are fighting for their own country for their own future. For their own freedom. Russians are not. And that gives me tremendous confidence. Also on the day we may be ukrainians, finding a different kind of battle, the one against homophobia. But for 2 more years, basically we want Legal Protection for our family to find a life together. You need protection from the state what theyve been the please. We need recognition of who we really are and we are a family and we seem just welcome to the show. He came unannounced and made a big announcement on a surprise trip to cave us secretary of state antony blank and pledged over 1000000000. 00 in additional aid for ukraine. That includes over 665000000. 00 in new military and civilian Security Assistance. Over the past months, the debate over washington support for ukraine had been growing louder with many us analysts boys in criticism over the slow progress of the counter offensive. Of lincolns message was clear, every inch of recovered territory as an achievement. Now, since i was last here almost exactly one year ago, the Training Forces have taken back more than 50 percent of the territory seized by Russian Forces since february of 2022. In the ongoing counter offense, progress has accelerate. In the past few weeks. This new assistance will help sustain it and build for the moment. Today, with presence lensky, i discussed longer term sustainable security arrangements which will provide ongoing Security Assistance and modern military equipment across land air c, in cyberspace. As well as training and intelligent share military analyst bring language, joins me now. Frank, this is the highest level visit by us officials since february when jo, 5 and travel to keep. Why was it important for blinking to visit now . But could have been a call. I think there are 2 reasons. One of the, one of them youve already mentioned that not here is that its a long time since one of the senior cabinet map both of the United States government visits it. So its a pretty irregular event. The 2nd is really to and show. I think the support of the United States to a difficult time. He said it does look like that himself said, i think this is legitimate. He wanted to get some ground truth as to what was happening. Hes going to be getting some, some fairly confidential briefings for the senior members of the ukraine and government and of course military. I think that would be very important for future decision making. Very high strategic that. Yeah, and there has been a lot of complaining in um, in the us about not having enough oversized, so that might send a signal to the lawmakers. Worried about that now in talks with form is through collab blinking said it seemed some good progress. But many of the pentagon woods there to disagree and how is the counter offensive really going . Right, well thats what can be blunted, not a Single Person in the pentagon or in the United States is that before a high end, conventional war guys to pay a compasses repair a enemy such as the russians. And i think they should be rather reluctant to represent to be prescriptive about how ukranian generals fight this war. Ive, ive commanded and low and come boss. And so they are fairly low and i can tell you that its extremely stressful. So to be prescriptive, i think is, is, is on quotable, but to answer your question and a tactical level, things look a bit difficult, but they always do a tactical level, but it was never going to be easy. I said, have a rep always said that you printed bite and told sustain abilities that these, that keep notes in in this and that proceeding steadily blinking arrived on the bay and you, courtney lawmakers, approved the nomination of the new defense ministers. Will the re shuffle have consequences for your crimes allies or i dont think so. Save for that issue that you mentioned before you just touched on it then i think its really important that corruption issue now president called himself was not personally associated to that. The expect to say in corruption, but the problem is that presided over over and over a system that the government is and the big multiple examples that we dont need to go through the, the, the, the, the new defense minutes because hes quite in very important. He hasnt been associated with that. Hes telling me youve got this clean. So i think thats the, thats the key message of this new new minutes. So to keep messages, one crimea from and to a clean process. It went on blinking pledge another a package worth over a 1000000000. 00. Where is the support more was needed right now where to the ukrainians need it most acutely. But what weve heard the loss over the last year and a half about big ticket items, the 60 is the high miles and so on. What you crating souls as well once theyre on the ground, the cost of biking. At the lower end, they want the body armor, they want noise. They should have probably whats called the ability or d id kind of mobility. Not only to assisted in the battlefield, but of course if occupation of wounded, which right now is, is carried out either on sorts or protected vehicles. So if, if, if were going to look at another category of a, b, dr. Very large quantities. The big ticket items on this, of course, with the quino item is uranium took shelves for the full coming a brocks tax. But that very normal, a very no capacity operate. The time call me if any of you werent able to use either a normal part. But there was a bit of discussion when they were 1st provided to the Ukranian Army by by the fritz. How will the ukrainians be able to use them in wire . They are somewhat controversial so, but what that allows you to do to call these deals surrounding me. All right, its as simple as that. You, you really want to play to the right hand is extremely hard. Its much harder than most that most of the alarm or any of the most dom. And it can penetrate 30 using its as simple as that, particularly the smaller caliber. So it allows us to tell it to be able to get onto all of our operations. The criminal says use 8 will not influence the course of what they call the special military operation. Thats of course, far from the truth. But i do want to know from you how much of a difference the u. S. A has actually made until today in ukraines war its been utterly decisive from the stock javelin massage. More of im coming timeouts patriot. That the political pressure which im and it was, they were bit reluctant on this on the times. But that comment. I think what you claim would want though, is im most a teacher perspective on, on the grounds of weapons. So were talking k pops, the United States might consider a police and some of the 2 of the off 1000, a bronze tanks. They have an iron bed tree, a span, thats what in storage rather than the 1st one that i think youre christ. Why theres a lot more to come on. I suspect thats what presents the landscape may be discussing over the next couple of days all day or so. With mr. Blinking, blinking wall and cave said he wanted to make sure ukraine has what it means, not just now, but in the long term as well. To give, keep a strong deterrent as he said, to the lensky that might sound like nato membership. But what does he actually me as . Yeah, the in the United States and particularly present by nothings better reluctance always. Theyve already looked at actually for a couple of decades to discuss nights on memberships, the ukraine. I think thats going to be the case until the war finishes. I think that realistically, what will be discussed in this context is a start sort of long term perspective. On websites and Security Assistance and not Security Assistance course doesnt just take the form of auburn and concerts of hostage of another treat of military capability, but also the soft red chip. You can call it the cyber space recognizance intelligence and so forth. It mr. Blake, and was talking about today, but its all very well making these announcements every month. So. So every 6 weeks, the what i think you claim once hes a guaranteed pipeline of this because they keep the, the, the, the key, the concept of a, of a nutritional sustainability and the pregnancy always set that right now theres a talk approach. Strip b is really working fine by the which thank you so much. Always great speaking to you. Thank you, maam. And ukraine. The fight against the russian invasion is only one of many bottles. There is another one happening on the homefront. The 5 for quality, like in many post soviet countries, sales you agree to to community face has many prejudices to any crime, but the country is changing and campaigners are helping to make that happen. The w correspond and my son is in the eastern ukrainian city of harkey, and he talked to some active us there about confronting hello phobia. The stuff here and her fill active this one to be visible. Even though they know not everyone will be happy to see that as we speak stuff to you who helps organize how to give pride gets news of the hand title to be to protest elsewhere and tell them now the theyre reduced to that kind of hostility. Well, not so then what are you not to we are a democratic country behind the host on which i dont see any problems if this is how they want to show their opposition for the novel have to provide, its better than harassment. The divine. Yeah, the rebels, little of the meeting people holiday, which happens at the very often after pride think youd be surprised that theyre more worried about Russian Missile attacks. Thats one reason why only a handful of people showed up. Another is that many have left town, but also summer fighting the russians, the cut outs were present, those were absent. No rainbow without yellow and blue with this one reads the colors of the premiums like the signs of pride dont last long. So not even 2 hours later, some of the cut outs are already missing and they were brought not too far away. Can see right here. Let me pull one out for you. This one says this could be moderate sco, which is at the front line evacuating. Some of the guys who did this are still at work and it appears not camera. Is that on the show, i dont think knows the time for Promotional Campaign for this. It would be more logical if instead of these posters, there were photos of the boys who died in the wolf country. They sacrificed their lives not only for free fund keys, but also for ukraine. Chapel, as it does, are hard to come in. Theyll pay you to me by the time for a few hits at 11 oclock, most of the cut outs are gone, destroyed, or the faced. The ukrainian law still only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. But surveys show more than half of the premium support, same sex marriage, and about a quarter oppose it. Say, you know, these are intimate mattress, he, you mohammed a one Sexual Orientation for you, but there is no need to show a bunch of natural benefits. And then do the owners may not affecting anyone else with this. Everyone has a right to left, whoever they want to, which is a draft law to recognize civil unions between people have the same gender, was introduced to ukraines Parliament Earlier this year. That would be a major step for the entire career community, especially those fighting and this war stuff. Just partner, alina, is a career soldier. Shes just returned home for her unit, for a break. She doesnt tied her sexuality from her conference. It says reactions have been mixed of the capital held a mock wedding with friends on us here for the head. I see we have no real photos. The most national. We have a video of the ceremony x, that ammonia altima, but we still cant get married and ukraine putting you in foss could the to her. So its difficult to pretend there was something personal though, so, but we still cant get married to the moon on the session and watch them all those like this. And she also knows like all other queer soldiers, that if she is hurt or killed, her partner will have no rights to make decisions more for tomorrow. We want Legal Protection for our family to find a life together. You need protection from the state, what theyve been the please. We need recognition if the who we really are. And we are a family and we see that family is fighting for ukraines future and fear place within the media reports here in germany saying employee, the countries for an Intelligent Service is to be charged with treason for allegedly passing secret information to russia. The man oversaw a Department Monitoring overseas telephone and internet communications, the Intelligent Service hes only been named as carsten l. D. G. Germany is privacy laws and has been under investigation since of december when he was arrested. But alleged Co Conspirator was detained later by police. Are political correspondingly on the phone . How much time has been following the story for us learning . Can you tell us more about what hes alleged to have done so . Yes, so costs a high ranking german Intelligence Officer is leave to have shared intelligence about the war and ukraine, and the Wagner Mercenary group with russia. And hes believe to have received roughly 400000 euros in return. Thats what the german media reports say. So how does you share that information with russia . Thats where his alleged Co Conspirator, as an e you mentioned him to comes in, or is he a german businessman, born in russia, is accused of traveling to moscow and handing intelligence that intelligence to russias domestic, spite agency, the speed, the 2 men had apparently 1st met at a private party at a football club, in the very yeah, in 2021. Where cason a had told arthur e about his work at the foreign Intelligence Service. Following a trip off from the brought the Intelligence Service done, started with an internal investigation costs. And it was, you mentioned that arrested in december of last year or so he was arrested just a month later. And now theyve reported the been charged with treason. The Prosecutors Office has so far, the kind to comment on the reports that it was filed charges, right. Serious allegation. And treason is a very serious charge as, yeah, exactly. So bozeman has been rewarded. They charged with treason in a particularly serious case by germanys prosecutor general reports say, so if prosecute it, they could both phase life sentences and the court and the invalid. Now needs to decide whether to hear the case. The head of the foreign Intelligence Service recently describes the case as a shock to the agency, understandably so. But he also told the durham news papers that much of the material that was actually passed on was of limited value. And that the Intelligent Service had stepped up its security measures to prevent further leaks a shock to the system. They call it. But how big a problem is spying by russia in germany . Really . Yeah. So its actually not the, the 1st case and the in recent months, just a month ago, a Government Official and germany who worked for an office, dealing with military equipment, was actually rested on suspicion of spying to the man. Thomas h had visited both the Russian Embassy in berlin and the russian consulate in the city of fun multiple times and had offered his services. And thats where the prosecutor set in the statement and he suspected of actually providing information obtained at his work. So similar to cost and l was the intention thatd be passed to a russian Intelligence Service. But germany, you know, for the beta console is not the only country whos been worried about russian espionage following the invasion of ukraine. In fact, last february, and there are a number of countries to in poland including norway, u k, who have arrested or expelled, suspected russian spies. Is there any fund how much time .

Several hunter, as a journalist and broadcaster league our tvs has been following this case very closely as you joins me now from barcelona. And were good to see you again. What can you tell us about why her most have finally decided to file a criminal complaint as well . I think you already said it was right there to see in the statement. She said she felt as though she was a victim of section of russian as she had 15 days to actually present one of these official complaints to the Prosecutors Office. A lot of people were asking why she was taking so long. But i think the reason being is that she was trying to understand what her rights were in this particular situation and get a better sense of how to proceed. Theyre all ready for official complaints of filed the
