invades ukraine, the warning came during a to our virtual meeting between the 2 leaders as conserves, grow over rushes activities on the ukrainian border. the city again, the kremlin says they're video cool, was frank and professional, but insisted tensions ever ukraine were not oh, vladimir putin, his fault and the u. s. and its allies are worried at russia plans to invade its neighbor. after massing tens of thousands of troops near the border, russia denies any such plans and describes the accusations as hysteria. ukraine says it support support biden's cool for putin to attend to diplomacy and ensure a di escalation on their board if. yes, national security advisor jake sullivans, as president biden, was clear and direct with vladimir putin outlining the response, washington and its allies. if russia taxi craig, he reiterated america's support for ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. he told president,

booting directly that of russia further invade ukraine. the united states and our european allies would respond with strong economic measures. we would provide additional defensive materiel to the ukrainians, above and beyond that, which we are already providing. and we would fortify our nato allies on the eastern flank with additional capabilities in response to such an escalation. he also told president putin, there's another option, de escalation and diplomacy. united states and our european allies would engage in a discussion that covers larger strategic issues, including our strategic concerns with russia and russia. strategic concerns. was it more from our white house correspondent kimberly hallett to who was in that briefing as terms of the flavor of, of what was discussed there? yeah, well, to give you a sense of the tone and tenor. it was repeated several times by the national security advisor chic sullivan. that this was a conversation between 2 presidents, the u. s. and the russian leader, and that was

a dialogue back and forth if you will. in fact, to jake sullivan making a point of saying that there were no speeches, there was no finger wagging or lecturing by one side or the other. but instead of vladimir putin was very engaged. now the conversation was direct in terms of the message that the u. s president had to deliver and coordination with france and germany as well as the u. k. and italy. there have been discussions and it has been decided that should there be an invasion by russia into ukraine that there would be strong and punitive financial sanctions. that would be levied on russia now in terms of stresses specificity, there wasn't a lot of detail about what that might look like. but there was also another path that was strongly encouraged by the u. s. president. that is the one of diplomacy and essentially saying that there is the ability to have a conversation and to talk about larger strategic issues. and that this could be done through some mechanisms such as nato. this could also be done in terms of

furthering the minute agreement. but what we do know from this conversation that is important here is that as we have been reporting, there has been a bolstering of russian military along the shared border between russia and ukraine . there has not been a decision yet by the russian leader on whether to invade. this was something that reported us very directly of jake sullivan, the national security advisor. and he believes that there has not been a decision, despite the fact that there has been intelligence saying that that invasion could potentially come early next year. and was there any mention of rushes, nor stream to gas pipeline? yet there wasn't, there has been some reporting that in fact there was as sort of a, an agreement secured between the united states and germany. that should russia invade ukraine. that in fact, that nordstrom to pipeline would be shut down. and so, oh, what we know and jake sullivan was asked us specifically about this, what he said was, well i, there wouldn't be

a lot of leverage for russia with respect to that because there's no, i'm all flowing through it at the moment. but there would be leverage on the part of germany and the west. and oh, well, this is something that has been touted on capitol hill according to the white house press. secretary is being asked solution to the conflict between the united states and russia. ah, what we're being told is that the white house in the biden administration specifically does not believe that this would be an effective deterrent. in other words, as one of the tools in the tool box in a range of options. but right now the belief of the white house is that diplomacy is the best option forward. kimberly, how can thank you very much indeed. well kremlin says president putin told barden it was wrong to put all the responsibility on russia's shoulders for the current tensions. burnett. smith has more on what moscow saying about the cool vladimir putin told joe biden,

that responsibility should not be shifted to russia because nato is making danger. attempts to take control of ukraine. pretty much everything that has been telegraphed about the meeting between joe biden. vladimir putin, what they were going to talk about. it's clear that they touched on these topics, not just you crane, but also cyber crime. both parties were told and agreed to discuss their readiness to continue practical cooperation on combating cyber crime. but it was ukraine, dominated the meeting by the mid putin also told joe biden that he wanted guarantees that offensive strike systems would not be deployed in countries close to russia. he says that nato is building up its military infrastructure near russia's borders. and vladimir putin says he express concerns about caves, allegedly provocative actions toward ukrainian regions, controlled by russian backed separatists, the crumbling considers what's going on in ukraine as an internal problem. and he

does not want nato to get involved, ultimately in what is happening in ukraine. and he doesn't want, he wants assurances, we don't know if he's got those yet from the bottom ministration that nato will not trespass will not encroach further east into europe. there are no bug is president of the council for us russia relations. he joined his live from seattle, washington by scott store for my for it. and thanks for being with us. what do you think the summit will have achieved? well, i think, you know, at nominally it is achieved the subsequent summit to the geneva summit held in june 16th. and so has brought the president again into direct dialogue. further the, you know, we haven't seen out of the geneva summit, june 16th much progress and some of these areas that you discussed, arms control,

strategic stability, cybersecurity and the respective diplomatic missions, problems of the respective diplomatic mission. so i think it's perhaps refocused attention on those issues and, and certainly on the current crisis that we see in the ukraine and economic measures promised. if russia does invade it, they will not came to spell out the details of that. what would you expect them to be? well again, we've only heard your references to, you know, a number of possible issues there, including the extreme to but then also, and perhaps more significantly, the possibility of removing russia from the swift financial system. so that would be, you know, i believe those are potentially on the table, but we don't know the exact details of the sanctions being proposed. and in terms

of who can it comes out of this sort of a on top, if you like. i mean, pushing went into the saying, you want to the guarantee of ukraine not becoming part of nature. it doesn't seem to go that way. when you think it takes place in well, i think certainly potent has been successful in raising increased awareness of russia's objections as relate to nato's eastern expansion and particularly into into ukraine. so i think to a certain degree has been successful in, in raising awareness of that issue. issue globally, in so far as you know, so many news outlets as your own is now discussing this. and what about the, that their route and role with russia? mean, is it, would it be please that it's kind of back on to the kind of on the page for discussing international issues. and they mentioned in the briefing that and that

had a good discussion on iran is that where russia really wants to be on the big table on, on the big global issues. i think without question, i think that's, that's going to be part of the calculus on the, on the russian side. and so that they are a central to this, this issue and, and, and, and achieve a presidential summit conference call with the president united states. i think it can be viewed as a success of internationally and probably plays well domestically as well. briefly . we any less likely to see an invasion of ukraine now than we were the full? well, we hope i think we all hope that is the case. again, that is, that will only be, you know, seen over time as we watch situation play out. we would like to see a d escalation in terms of the true concentrations,

but we'll just have to watch and see now that thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you. i'm trying to strengthen has been speaking to residents in marion pull in southeast in ukraine. he says this frustration that president zalinski hasn't done more t and existing conflict. well, the facts, all that 14000 people have been killed in the 7 half years of this conflict. the u . n says that it expects up to 3000000 people on both sides of the front line to need humanitarian assistance next year. and there is a just a growing sense amongst the people that you speak to who live in that contact zone or close to it of complete hopelessness and increasing anger. bear in mind that the ukrainian president ugly won his campaign. and one of the reasons why he won his presidential campaign in 2019, were promised that he was gonna end roches annexation of crimea and end the war in

don vass while he's failed on both those accounts and arguably, seems more unable to do that in a week, a position than he did at the start of his term. and the people that we've spoken to him, we spoke to somebody today who was, was angry, whose house had been described destroyed in the year in the fighting in 2015. and she didn't miss her words. she said that she wished, wished a similar fate on russian people. another person, interestingly though, said that some russians and ukrainians slobs and that they should come together and, and enjoying as one unified block, if you like. and another man we spoke, you said how important it was for the ukrainian government now to start talking to the separatists. something that the ukrainian government has always refused to do because in their eyes it would legitimize what they describe as a, a terror networks that are taking control of that area. ready but as i say,

the underlying message that you get from people living in and around that area which isn't too far from here, is a sense of hopelessness. and an anger am specifically anger at a government hair. ready that they say had, has not acted on the promises that he had made. coming up on the news hour from london, indonesia, as president visits villages blanketed by ash from the mount airy volcanoes. pedestrian rises to 34 were hanging refugees through facebook, saying it's algorithms encourage users to express extremist views for targeting them. and it must be returns to the scores list. the couple of goals and champions need to be on the reach submitted. ah, the 38 people have been killed in a fire at the main prison in burn these political capital. dozens more were injured
