1:03 pm
the board. i think every one who's supposed to del package, this is a like saving decisions. i am grateful personally to speak of mike johnson, to all american hearts who like us and ukraine, feel that russian evil definitely should not prevail. so i hope that the package will be considered in the us senate and submitted to president biden's desk, quickly enough book, it should give me the final vote to release the support for ukraine should happen this coming week. and meanwhile, russia's foreign minister has announced the kremlin same to capture the ukrainian city of hockey. in a russian radio interview showed a laugh. rob said that hockey, this key to put in the idea of creating the miller tri zones in ukraine, which would protect russian border settlements from ukrainian fire keys is ukraine,
1:04 pm
2nd largest city, and has been under fee or some boardman for weeks with key infrastructure being targeted that's a bring in our russian affairs analysts. konstantin aguilar, greetings, constantine again. she'll get lab rav stating moscow's intent to launch an all out takeover of hockey. what do you know about the operation? well, of course, i don't know anything about it. it's for obvious reasons. i don't work for the russian general stuff. thank god. but you don't, michael. uh frankly, i think this is possible, this typical a very, very poor c p r. i told you, so i'm going to do this and i told you so. so the fact that you look prepared, that's not my problem. that is very typical thing. what i want hasn't been has to understand level doesn't decide anything. he's not fall of the decision making machine. he's just voicing basically opinions that all that he spoke to was know
1:05 pm
they've got to keep it's uh, i think clear that it is in the crosshairs, overall shopping because of the intensity of all of the show me whether in the last 2 weeks and then a couple months but wouldn't be long. this offense is white. so the question are especially now off to the us 8 by which was basically it's close and it will be quite the risk. i actually think that it's, it's maybe a way of telling a package and not i'm not afraid i'm going to do my own thing in the brain and that's probably the best, the best explanation, konstantin, from your vantage point and know how of course, how does the new $61000000000.00 us a package to ukraine, likely impact russia's planning in terms of scale or timing. it
1:06 pm
is an extremely unpleasant thing for, for food and then for the coming in for the russian aggression. because of cause it shows that india and there is a bipartisan agreement and we got the grant. and also there is a u. s. vote agreement. public opinion polls showed that support the grant is in the us interest. so i think to logic stem, this is probably the most unpleasant news for the kremlin since a but least old job last year since the not very successful ukrainian counter offensive. i want to go back konstantin, if you will, to something you were saying earlier. just do a slightly deeper dive. what do you make of laugh robs, seemingly frank and direct rhetoric easy, their strategy behind what he's saying in this radio interview. what is the strategy we have to ask, put to not levels, but i think it is
1:07 pm
a way of telling the international community that's russia is not going to relate differentially. this is the message, no matter what happens is are we, i'm not going to relate. this is very typical messaging because the keys always use that the. and i think that in this respect, it is also a way of trying to impact uh, significant parts of public opinion tends to run up to the european problem with the lectures and in the us. because those who are against eating you crate, those who are full, if you wish, some kind of deal with the kremlin, they will say, well see, know, that's all whether we give them money or whether was withhold money. the company remains the same. so we have to talk to put them, i think roughly that's probably the strategy, the political strategy to strategy. konstantin, agree as always, many,
1:08 pm
many thanks. thank you. us house lawmakers have passed a landmark bill, effectively banning the popular social media platform, tick tock, unless it separates itself from its chinese parent company by dance. the bill of goods tick tock, one year to sell it state your us based entity, lawmakers and both parties. res, national security and data privacy concerns. it will now go to the vote in senate where it's expected to pass for more on this. let's get the perspective from china with a journalist a 5 year impression or in b jane fabia and have there been any reactions there so far to the us bill? so not after the latest vote but um, in general, the government here has comments it extensively on the us bill. for example, the foreign ministry. it has strongly criticized to both saying that basically it
1:09 pm
only serves us interest that the us what um basically abuse, national security at to bring down chinese companies. and that also the us would apply a so called robust logic to steal chinese companies. so very strong criticism via and if you look at how a chinese state media were effectively owned by the government and most of also by the communist party, how they have framed the issue. that is also quite remarkable. they, um, for example, focused on um, concerns for press freedom in the u. s. which actually is really a very, a delicate balancing act, given the fact that, you know, not only all waste and pest pumps up into in china. but also take talk itself is not available. actually, what you can download to you on the app store as in china is the end. it's not a ton of version that of course applies to it. time use of loss and date as the whole point of the chinese government that only allows online platforms to district the abide by the sense of shipper would see a and that has not been the case for,
1:10 pm
for example, what's app um and all those other wisdom pet pumps that are not available and then at a defective blocked to you in china. i'm curious how the business universe is reacting to this news. is it conceivable to people that take tough will actually be severed from its parent company? so if you talk to experts, i mean they think there's no way that a badging, i mean the chinese government will allow the take top to be sold to a us company. i think for that tick tock is too important and the algorithm is very superior. it is, it's, i mean, one of the strongest, the chinese companies abroad. and actually if you look at how bite the end of the month, a company of tick tock is reacting. it stays very silent. and the reason is because it's really in a hots, but if it is outspoken, for example, it's um, uh, you know, criticizing the behavior of the u. s. government and basically it counters still own the rates of it basically says that take talk is acting independently from bite
1:11 pm
the end of the chinese mother company. on the other hand, it's also cannot be critical to the chinese government because i'm a seizing ping. i'm the head of state and china dement absolute legality from its companies. and if they a distance themselves from the chinese government, then um, basically they lose market share. they again regulated and i mean they have also been a lot of ceos that happened disappeared for several months. so i think it's really a very um, strict um and difficult situation also for bite tends to buy the company of tick tock. our thanks is always to wear during the list of probably and crash american vision a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the us house of representatives has also over whelming, we approved a bill, granting billions and military assistance to israel. the $26000000000.00 aid package is expected to go before the senate on tuesday. about 9000000000 has been earmarked for humanitarian relief for civilians in conflict zones, including garza, sudan,
