not become a member of the north atlantic treaty organization, something the ukrainians have pursued for years. the u. s. national security advisor reiterated ukraine can associate with whom ever it wants. when analyst believes joining nato is unrealistic, it ought to be clearer to them, and we're not coming to the rescue. so you're gonna have to live next. russia are, you are security guarantee. there were also questions about the controversial nord stream to pipeline which runs from germany to russia and whether it could be used as leverage and discussions over ukraine. the white house says it will pressure the german government to stop it. if russia invades the biden administration, will continue to work with it's european partners, promising a coordinated response, should russia ignore their warnings? president biden will also speak with ukraine's president lensky on thursday.

actions toward ukrainian regions controlled by russian backed separatists. the kremlin 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 to the world news now in a massive fire at an overcrowded prison in burundi as cute. at least 38 inmates. it happened in good tega early on tuesday morning. dozens more way injured. there are reports, emergency services didn't arrive on the same until 2 hours after the blaze started from the interior ministry says it was caused by an electrical short circuit. malcolm where has more from kenya's capital, nairobi, the run,
