minister says there are no indications. russia is ready to take action in ukraine, despite its military build up on the border. russia president vladimir putin has accused the west of trying to lure him into war with ukraine. and his 1st public comments in nearly 6 weeks who sincerity hopes a solution can be reached to deescalate the crisis. but he says the us and its allies have ignored russia's concerns of a nato expansion eastwards. the west has accused the kremlin applauding to invade ukraine with tens of thousands of soldiers mast on its border. stacy crane a. let's imagine that ukraine is a member of nato stuffed with left, with modern strikes system, yet the same as in poland and romania who will stop. and what if it starts operations in the crimea? i'm not even talking about the don bass. this is sovereign russian territory. we have reached allen standing by 1st in london at 1st the spring endorsing jabari and moscow. so as we've been saying, dorothy accusing the west of trying to draw russia to war. yet at the same time, he's leaving the door open to further talk. so where do things stand on diplomacy
2:09 pm
funds? well, according to the russian president's fee official, sir, are ready to talk to any one we just heard from the kremlin o spokesperson, who said that vladimir putin is ready to speak to anybody. even those that are quote, utterly confused. i think it's a reference to his upcoming phone call with british prime minister boars johnson. we expect that to take place later on wednesday. and the russian president has said that he believes the united states and the rhetoric coming from that government is every lea not conducive to try to deescalate the current situation. a vladimir putin said on tuesday after meeting with the hungarian prime minister for more than 5 hours that or this countries really looking for solutions. but it's very difficult to figure out what the right answer would be. at this point. he said that the americans have basically ignored the security guarantees that this country is looking for from the american government and nato,
2:10 pm
about their further expansion. and they're also looking for nato to go back to it's 1997 level of members. that is when it was 16 countries part of the alliance, that is now 30 countries that have seen it joined this alliance. so the president who has received the counter response from the american government about those security guarantees is looking for last week. he still studying those and says that they will respond in due time. but he was also very quick to point out that the americans are using ukraine to put pressure on russia and they're using ukraine as a tool really. and he warned against this. he said this could lead to very dangerous situation, but it appears he still very much open to the idea of dialogue and pull missy. he said, despite these differences, we are still ready to talk to all parties. he also invited french president emanuel micron to visit moscow. he's been speaking to the french president and over the phone twice now over the past week. and it seems like he is very keen to have the
2:11 pm
french president visit russia to try and discuss further the security concerns of this country has. president putin also said that the rhetoric about the troops build up is simply just that it's this diplomacy that the u. s. is engaging in that is very much what officials have called the megaphone diplomacy to try and create this area that these escalating, the current situation between russia and ukraine and officials have said there really is no contention between the 2 countries. and that all of this is created by the west's ok. thank you so much. dorothy jabari reporting from moscow. let's find out more about that. a scheduled phone call between the u. k prime minister boards, johnson and the russian president later today we're a challenge will bring us up to speed on that, rory. well, certainly it shows as dough. so as to saying that the diplomatic channels a still open that these lead is around the world are still talking to each other. and that is obviously a good thing. interestingly,
2:12 pm
the call was postponed. it was supposed to be taking place yesterday, but because bar johnson had to stand up in front of parliament and address the country on the party gate scandal had to reschedule the conversation to today. not quite what, but in a person makes of the hats. that dynamic will only have to guess. certainly, it's impossible to imagine the russian president's having to go through anything similar with the tightly controlled or socratic system that he's built around himself over the last 20 years or so. but britain's perspective here, it's strategic calculus as ever as a mixture of interests and values. on the values let, yes, it wants to stand up for a young democracy against a bigger autocratic orthor. it's harry and neighbor. it also wants to show that britain is in its bricks. it states a serious commit said go global player,
2:13 pm
an active foreign policy act, and one that is at the coal member of the free world. they would like to think it, it, it will say, in terms of its own interest wants to bolster relations with the united states. it wants to both to relations with countries in europe like poland, ukraine, itself, and the baltic nations. and you have to be able to look at this through a domestic policy lens as well. and a thing that provides for us johnson with a distraction from his woes at home. he is going to lean into those things at the moment as he seems to be doing. and also, there is another way you can look at all of this. a conflict of interest, russian money flows through london oligarchic wealth in greece is the cogs of city of london. london loves russian cash, and that has an impact on british politics. and it's been a problem that the u. k. it's been unable to tackle with in any meaningful way over
2:14 pm
the last few years, and it will continue to have an impact on russian u. k. relations for some time to come. thank you so much for re challenge. reporting from london still ahead on al jazeera fighting and me and mar and who's joining? i think our roof battling to bring the government down. we'll tell you about that. on the verge of a feather. flock together. more on why the number of geese and water fell. migrating to northern india has dwindled. ah, ah, look forward to burritos, guys. with the sponsored play cattle airways. hey there, thank you for joining in a way we go with your world's weather update beginning in se asia. and i see you by the way, we've got our storms coming and going through this area. but i want to take you to the southern philippines where we will see some driving rain here for that area,
