00:14good morning it's tuesday september 29th you're watching euronews and this is europe today
00:21coming up ukraine is turning to international partners to help cover its wartime spending
00:28needs with brussels set to bring together donor countries and financial institutions
00:33later today ukraine has cut its 24 billion euro funding shortfall to 18 billion euro through
00:40austerity measures but it's unclear how the remaining gap can be plugged russia's recent
00:45escalation has added urgency to the search for funding hope leo the 14th has praised multilateralism
00:53as the best defense against the desire for dominance and a speech in the french city of
00:59metz the pontiff lamented a world marked by conflict from war and hunger to deteriorating personal
01:05relations describing an increasingly uncivilized climate he also criticized the lies and deception
01:13he said were fueling growing distrust between citizens and governments and euronews is hosting
01:20its travel and tourism summit 2026 in brussels today bringing together policy makers industry
01:26leaders and travel experts from across europe and beyond the summit examines the policies technologies
01:32and investments shaping tomorrow's travel landscape from sustainable mobility and destination management
01:39to infrastructure and tourism investment welcome to the program i'm stefan grobe russia launched more
01:47than 120 drones at ukraine on monday with president zelensky saying almost 90 of them were faster
01:54jet-powered models in kiev a medical center was hit while another jet-powered drone struck the national
02:00academy of sciences in the heart of the capital in broad daylight and while emergency crews were still
02:07working at the academy our team witnessed what appeared to be an attempted double tap attack aimed at rescue
02:14workers with another russian drone intercepted directly above the site our correspondent sasha
02:20vakulina was there and joins us now from kiev sasha you were at the scene when that second drone came
02:28in
02:28what did you see
02:32another night of relentless non-stop attacks here in kya when russia used both missiles and also drones
02:38including those jet-powered drones and i think it's important to look at what is it that moscow is
02:43trying to target now some of the targets are the size that we have seen moscow trying to hit throughout
02:49the war first of all this is of course energy infrastructure on monday euro news was filming at
02:55the site of an energy site of one of the recent russia's attacks in the kiev region but we had
03:01to stop the
03:02filming and we had to seek shelter because there was another drone approaching the same site probably
03:08trying to hit the crews and the people working on fixing that energy site but also moscow is
03:15increasingly targeting data centers and communication infrastructure and you can already feel this here
03:21in kiev with the internet connection and the mobile networks going rather patchy and this is of course
03:27problematic both for the people in ukraine but also for ukraine's military and the air defense but
03:33most of russia's strikes also are hitting residential and other civilian sites one example is a national
03:40academy of sciences here in the very center of kiev now emergency services working here confirmed to
03:48euronews that this was most probably directed by russia's jet-powered drones and that brings us to this big
03:56problem that kiev and ukrainian authorities are facing now is these drones and how to counter them
04:00rudy musulensky said yesterday that ukraine's interception rate when it comes to all of the drones
04:05stands at around 70 when it comes to the jet-powered drones those faster new ones this is around 57
04:14ukraine is indeed these days testing the new interceptors to counter them but this is increasingly
04:19becoming a technological race the way russia adapts its weapons and tactics and then ukraine is adapting
04:25and trying to intercept the new weapons and do that as quickly as it can because of course these are
04:33the
04:33attacks on the residents on the people of ukraine euronews crew were at the national academy of science
04:41in the immediate aftermath of russia's attacks and with the emergency crews still working there at the
04:48center another russian drone was coming towards our way and we had to seek shelter in what was
04:55apparently moscow's attempt to attack the rescue workers working there on the site take a look at
05:02what happened on monday we're standing right at the site of the attack here in kiev city center this
05:15here is the national academy of science which was hit earlier and as the rescue teams are working here
05:22as you can see there was another attempted attack right now with the air defense intercepting another
05:28drone drone right above the site
05:36at around half past one there was a direct hit a jet-powered drone struck a three-story building
05:42of the national academy of sciences of ukraine can you confirm that this is a civilian building
05:48that's the building you can see it right at the entrance that's the national academy of sciences
05:53of ukraine nothing else here it's basically a business center and other buildings
06:00we're standing at the site of russian drone attack in the very center of kiev the capitol's emergency
06:08services confirmed to euro news that this was a direct hit by a jet powered drones now these are
06:15newer fast drones that russia has been using a lot these days and in fact uh there are no breaks
06:21between the
06:22air raid alerts and the drone attacks in the capital these days and you can see the rescue work is
06:27here
06:27working right behind me the emergency services also confirmed that here in the center of kiev next to
06:32this building and in the building itself there are no military targets this is the national academy of science of
06:38ukraine
06:45all right sasha verkulina thank you very much for this update under the most stressful conditions but
06:52it's not only the capital kiev that was pounded by russian strikes in rural areas ukraine's agricultural
06:59economy is directly targeted including export routes in the black sea our correspondent marit guinn spoke to
07:06the ukrainian agriculture minister taras visotsky and asked him whether the country could still rely
07:12on its main export corridor unfortunately since the end of july that's already for two months
07:20the situation is really critical we are not able to export agricultural commodities through our deep
07:28water ports of odessa region why it is so critical just an example in june 2026 90 percent of agricultural
07:41commodities were exported through this channel that means that the biggest and the main channel of
07:48export logistics uh has been closed since the end of july and what can ukraine's partners do here
07:58is it about providing more protection in the black sea is it about opening alternative export routes
08:03for example for the baltics or are you at a point where you say actually we need a broken deal
08:10with
08:10russia we are currently working with our partners uh including the european ones uh simultaneously on a
08:18few tracks uh one of them is to develop the eu solidarity lanes that's alternative routes and so far
08:26uh we have some progress uh when we look at the september numbers uh we can stay that round
08:3540 45 percent of export uh is done through these eu solidarity lanes definitely we keep working on
08:43protection because we do understand the best guarantee instrument is to have enough military forces military
08:50power uh to protect this rules from all of these rocket records and also we are ready to create the
08:58safety
08:59conditions in the black sea for all of the civil goods including ukraine agricultural commodities we are
09:06open for it and do you think that impact on pricing for consumers um could be felt beyond ukraine's
09:13borders as well if this crisis persists in the black sea actually it's already happening we can already
09:19see that the on average the grain prices have increased by 25 percent and this is a lot 25
09:28percent uh it means if you multiply it for the overall uh grain and food consumption out of grain
09:37within a year it could be even up to 60 billion u.s dollars additional costs of all of the
09:44communist
09:44consumers consumers roosevelt the price increase is already happening finally minister we see that russia
09:51is really stepping up its strikes uh on ukraine the winter is coming how fearful are you now both for
09:59ukrainian farmers in terms of the impact on them but also broader for the country uh going into this winter
10:07of course during all of this almost five years of full-scale invasion we have been constantly preparing
10:14ukrainians are resilient but it's very hard of course the level of risks currently is the biggest
10:21since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and it's very hard really to prepare just for everything so
10:28first of all the focus is on military uh air defense systems it's very critical to have enough of military
10:36air defense system to save all of this infrastructure
10:42ukrainian agriculture minister taras visotsky speaking to merit gwen as the war in ukraine continues
10:49europe faces a difficult question how far is it prepared to go to support kiev and increase pressure on moscow
10:57from sanctions and financial aid to military support and the growing threat of russian hybrid attacks across europe
11:04the eu is trying to balance solidarity with ukraine against the rising costs and risks at home
11:11to talk about this i'm now joined by tobias kramer a german social democrat in the european parliament
11:16where he's a member of the committees on foreign affairs security and defense
11:20and the delegations for relations with the us and with nato good morning and welcome to the set
11:26good morning thank you for having me so when you see and and hear all these reports
11:32what's your reaction i mean to me that just shows the utter desperation of putin uh who has turned
11:40this already illegal and criminal campaign into just a campaign where he doesn't even focus his
11:47his attacks on the battlefields because he knows he he can't progress on that he's i think uh we've
11:53calculated his like his progress is slower than that of a snail really but he's now really focusing on
11:57attacking civilians and he's not just attacking civilians in ukraine who are suffering every day
12:02but what we are seeing there is that he even goes so far of saying he knows that this grain
12:09export
12:09he's hurting the ukrainian economy but he's also hurting people all over the world especially in the
12:14global south who are so dependent on grain exports from ukraine and he knows that this will cause famine
12:19he knows this will cause death in africa in other parts of the world and putin is so desperate that
12:24he just goes in there and tries to cause as much harm as possible but that is just criminal let's
12:28be
12:28honest having said that um where does the eu stand on on ukraine right now is it still as long
12:35as it
12:35takes when it comes to support or do we already see the limits of sustained um help for ukraine
12:43i think what we need to understand is that this war that putin conducts in ukraine against ukraine
12:49is not purely about ukraine and putin has said that very very clearly for him this is a war against
12:55the european order of peace it's a war to undermine the unity of nato and it's a war to undermine
13:02the
13:02way we are living in our free democracies and we see the hybrid attacks it's not just ukraine that's
13:06attacked i'm i'm from germany we had these attacks and they're no longer hybrid we had proper attacks
13:11in leipzig where you had drones that could have caused real damage and and cost lives and i think
13:17there is a growing understanding in europe that this we are defending here also our way of life
13:22our liberty and that supporting ukraine is really necessary not just for ukraine but also for our own
13:29security and the cost of ukraine failing would be so much higher for us than the cost of supporting
13:34ukraine so i think there is determination here we are the biggest supporters of ukraine but i also think
13:38we have to think very clearly what levers do we have now and to start thinking creatively i still
13:43think we should use the frozen assets for instance into that would be my next question i mean the eu
13:49just extended um sanctions on on 3 000 uh give or take individuals and entities um after a long and
13:58arduous process right um what should be the next step the next step uh the next action against russia that
14:05that the eu should take i mean i think we really should look at what hurts putin and what does
14:12he care about how can we use the levers we have into leverage for peace and i think it would
14:17be would
14:17be poorly advised to just go into putin's escalatory uh spiral where he might have an advantage so it's
14:24not necessarily about like having hybrid attacks against russia but really looking where does it hurt
14:28putin and putin we see unfortunately doesn't care about the life of his soldiers he doesn't care about
14:32russian lives but what he does care about is his wallet and we still have over 200 billion frozen
14:37assets in european bank accounts and i think we really should be looking very closely of how we
14:43can turn that into a leverage for peace to show putin um you are continuing this war you are escalating
14:49this war it's start it's time you start paying for it um and really using that and i think it's
14:54especially important to do that now because what we are seeing in the next few months also with the
14:58g20 invitation of putin into uh into the united states i think we as europeans should go there
15:03with a plan not just reacting but actually saying here we have a peace plan we worked it out with
15:08ukraine uh and talk to put into nothing else the g20 but ukraine all right to be asked kramer thank
15:14you
15:14so much for coming on the show this morning i should mention also that you will be a speaker at
15:18tomorrow's euronews defense summit here in brussels looking forward to that thank you so for his last
15:26public appearance of his apostolic visit to france pope leo chose the the border city of metz to
15:32speak on the future of europe giving a distinctly political dimension to a visit to france that has
15:39sparked scenes of spiritual jubilation and stressing the importance of unity on a continent where
15:45nationalist movements are gaining strength and russia's war against ukraine now in its fifth year
15:51shows no sign of abating to analyze the pope's visit to france i'm now joined by austin ivory a
15:58fellow in contemporary church history at oxford university and author of two biographies of pope
16:04francis good morning great to have you on the show good to be with you so to you what was
16:11the most
16:11surprising element about leo's speech on europe well i wasn't wholly surprised by it in the sense that the
16:19content i think was typical of him his commitment to peace to multilateralism what surprised me i think
16:26was the passion with which he's able to challenge europe at the moment to say you know are you
16:32preparing for peace or are you preparing for war in other words are you constructing the institutions
16:38that will lay the basis for a new world order which will contain and prevent war make war unthinkable
16:44or are you simply increasing the budgets you know for your military spending assuming that there will
16:49be more war so i i found that very very challenging uh and and very striking um also i think
16:55the return
16:56to the roots of europe it was a very challenging speech in terms of you know what are the true
17:01values that have made europe and he talked about the european history but he also talked about the
17:05example of robert schumann he was speaking in in metz which was the the place where robert schumann uh lived
17:12and
17:12had his had his work and uh it's really schumann as one of the great architects of the european union
17:18he focused on you know what made that possible after the war to build that new order so leo yeah
17:25this is a great theme of his pontificate he sees that the world order has crumbled is crumbling probably
17:30has crumbled and now is the task to build that new world order we've seen pope leo receive huge public
17:38enthusiasm does that give him greater political and moral influence or should we be careful not
17:44to confuse popularity with influence well i'm i'm struck i was struck of course by the popularity
17:50of uh him at his visit very similar by the way to his visit to spain in june from the
17:57sort of papal
17:58point of view what this marks i think is the beginning of a new mission to europe if i can
18:03put it that
18:04way under pope francis it was important to rebalance the church the church is a global missionary body
18:10europe has is no longer if you like the center of catholicism i think what leo's doing is he's saying
18:15actually uh yes he agrees with that but he's also saying we need to build in europe on what is
18:22happening
18:22which is that young people are returning or coming to faith not because they were brought up in any
18:29way religious but because they are seeking and searching for meaning and we've had a something
18:33like a 400 increase in new catholics in uh france uh since uh covid and so a big part of
18:41his uh this
18:43trip i think just as it was in spain was to sort of take that desire for meaning that search
18:48for for
18:49values and to just you know say look the church is here ready to receive you and one of the
18:54things he
18:54did when he was addressing the french church was to say look the church itself has to change you
18:59know we have to be come a different kind of church if we are to walk with the seekers and
19:04the searchers
19:05among the young uh the searches for meaning but yeah his popularity was extraordinary just to see
19:10the streets full like that was remarkable all right austin ivory an expert on the modern papacy at
19:15oxford university thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us and that's it for today for the
19:21rest of the news throughout the day euronews has you covered as usual thank you for watching
19:26i'm stefan grobe and i see you tomorrow
19:57and i see you tomorrow
