Her questions are better than all of the journalists’ questions in all the press conferences put together!

[sinancoveltir]

Perfect questions and perfect answers!

[RichRodriguez]

I encourage the Secretary General to stop using the phrase Annexation of Crimea.

A better phrase is “Illegal Occupation.” Words matter.

Charge on with democracy !

Ukraine hits tank convoy
Russia hits a house
Ukraine hits ship
Russia hits a house
Ukraine hits airfield
Russia hits a house
Ukraine hits vital bridge
Russia hits apartment building
It's no wonder why russia is losing

[darkazurr]

they talk about escelation but its only putin escelating.
if ukraine is given the help now to push hard this war can be over faster

[sammanns]

Side stepping question about when more equipment is coming

[wadegoodwin]

So one German Iris-T air defense system will somehow be able to cover the entire airspace above the Ukraine? Wow, how's that for Western magical thinking....

[francisbird]

NATO should have accepted Ukraine as a member before this war began ! Too little too late !

[AmitRay]

Excellent, pragmatic and logical replies from NATO SG inspite of some very stupid questions. Very poor performance by the Conflict Zone interviewer.

While NATO is always ready to defend, DW/CZ should make a survey asking people if they are ready for a war. The present scenario says the answer is NO. The people in Europe cannot even fight an increase in fuel prices.

about time, send it to them fast before they destroy all Kyiv's power grid!

The point with tanks is that Russian "donations" of military vehicles from the Russian stocks - as the russian troops surrender and flee - BY FAR outstrips what Nato could possibly supply at a timely notice.

What is more the production of Zuzana artillery system: Denmark, Norway and Germany actually buys new - top of the line artillery systems. That will probably include modern production equipment, so a small company can actually produce the required number.
