and to seek their consent. the tiny seemingly community has won a huge battle, but it will be not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian for the good. this is, these are live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a show of power bratia conducts military drills with battle roost, but maintains that it has no intention of invading ukraine, separatist leaders in east, on the ukraine, coal for military mobilization, of start to evacuate civilians to russia. it anticipation of a conflict? ah, clearing the capital canadian police, break up a truck,

drivers protest at arrest dozens of people and renewing a battle thought to have been one malawi, steps of vaccinations against polio after cases detected the 1st in africa in 5 years. and on p december to the sport has new zealand, the winds, its 2nd ever winter olympics, cold metal on the penultimate day of the beijing games. ah. so we begin at east of ukraine where separatist leaders backed by russia, have ordered a full military mobilization. they say civilians at the breakaway region of don bass, a being evacuated to russia, a shilling intensifiers between separatists and ukrainian government forces. the korean army says that one soldier has been killed. russia is holding drills,

bella roost near ukraine's border. president vladimir putin is expected to oversee nuclear drills, including the use of ballistic and cruise missiles. the crime and deny is that the war games will further inflame tension. us president joe biden though, says he's convinced fuson has decided to invade ukraine within days. that of the european union until the munich security conference that russia is making what it calls a blatant attempt to rewrite the rules of the international order. well, the very reason that the union, the european union was once created is that we want to put an end to all european wars and that the world has been watching in disbelief as we faced the largest build up of troops on european soil. since the darkest days of the cold war, because the events of these days could re shane and tire international order,

his our team of correspondence covering the story this i will get more later from the munich security conference with our diplomatic editor, james bays dawson. mario stanley, by for us in moscow, but will begin with charles stratford who is live for us in nova c. love cra in eastern ukraine. charles theres been shelling in the area over night. what's the latest? that's right, adrian. i am last night in mariel pool. i suppose would have been a round about 10 to 5 in the morning and i was awake and heard having covered this conflict now for now on 8 years. or i could actually say with some of the, the heavy shelling that i've heard since the conflict began. and we understood that it was in this area. and we've come to have a look. and sure enough, speaking to villages in the last 10 minutes, very just saying that it was some of the heavier shelling that they've experienced

here in years. no reports of any damage in this particular village is a village if you kilometers further up the road here, very cold running. now we tried to get into yesterday. the military they refused to century, were very nervous about letting us anywhere near it. we understand from speaking to villages in this village that says some of that village was damaged and we also getting reports conflicting reports of shelling this morning or noise of explosions, at least inside the next the septic controlled area of, of done it's very difficult to, to confirm that, but certainly as these reports that we've heard by the ukranian military talking about. so what they say were at least 60 violations or of the minister agreement last night. those now certainly seemingly being corroborated by the people that we're speaking to in these villages. okay. and is the ukranian army actually shelling donnette kind of what do we know about what we're hearing about people

being evacuated from the area to russia? will, of course, ukrainian military will never admit to returning what they would say will be returning fire. they always say that term, you know, that, that they are the ones being targeted. but we know over the years that and there have regular exchanges of fire between by both sides, along the 420 kilometer contact zone with respect to the evacuations going on in the self declared donnette scandal ranks people's republic. we've spoken to people inside donates this morning. they say that bus is a bit, but m a be made available for this evacuation. some people are getting on to those buses and certainly the people that we've spoken to said that some, they're not going to evacuate, not at this stage. they saying that it's a, well, we lived through the worst of the hostilities in 2014,

in 2015. they're still skeptical that there could be some sort of military escalation, despite the kind of language coming out from the separatist leaders. and we're also hearing reports and certainly reports am by the russian media. they're showing a pictures of what they say is the whole a whole in the ground in the roast of region of russia, which they say is a ukrainian shell hall. now we have to be exceptionally careful here and what we're reporting because as we know, certainly according to the ukranian government and their backers, there is a danger all the separatists. the russian backs ever says an russia using what is described as false flag incidence. these are incidents to the fabricated in order to give a pretext, to either the russian back separatists or russia to launch some sort of a military escalation. of course, russia continues to deny that it has any plan to do so. but term yeah,

any kind of reports coming out of the separate is controlled areas at the moment have to be framed within that kind of context. certainly all evidence was certainly speaking to the people that we have inside those territories. the things are getting increasingly concerning. and of course, no political solution to this crisis as yet inside of this child's stratford reporting live that from easton ukraine. let's go live then to the music security conference on tips to get us to james bay's has been covering developments from that for us. we had a few moments ago, john johnson schultz speaking at the conference. jazz, what, what did you make of, what do you have to say? well, i think you're hearing very similar things from many nato leaders here at this summit. the only thing if i could possibly pick on it that slightly different is president biden, because he has

u. s. intelligence is the one that saying this is imminent. putin has decided and you not perhaps hearing that from chance, the shots and some of the others. in fact, i was speaking to the president, the european commission as an of on the line a short time ago. and she said to me, there is still a chance of peace, which perhaps a little bit different from what you're hearing about from president biden of the imminence of war. let's discuss this more with someone who knows this subject so well. he's the former nato secretary general and his phone armstrong with him. thank you for joining us. for the 2nd general. let me start back in 2014. when you a secretary general, that's when putin took crimea. the response to that. now you look at where we've got to now, was it tough enough with the sanctions? tough enough with it. but with the benefit of hindsight, should you have responded tougher then? do you think the international community? absolutely. he in the hand side we reacted to reluctantly. yay!

to hesitant to week and but this time he would not catch our spies price back then we were called pressure price. it was unbelievable that for the 1st time since at the end of the cold war since 2nd world war, a country coach by force. take another project over a country and enacted illegally into each own country like the russian didn't premier. this is a very dangerous moment if, as president biden says, he's decided and he goes in what then are as, as, as a full, the secretary general of nato. what are your worries about what happens next? if it's a full scale invasion, eva de each, each a new word order. it's no longer a rule of law is a ruler of the strongest. and that's exactly want a pool kin once and show our response should be decisive. we should

step up our military assistance to ukraine, show that ukraine air is better capable of defending itself. we should introduce crippling economic sanctions against russia and the words democracies shoot you night stand together in a new alliance of democracies. there will be some watching this who will be worried by that sort of talk. because on one side of this you have the u. s. on the other, you have russia, they are the 2 major nuclear powers in the world. and the secretary general of the united nations made the point that in the cold war, there was sort of understandings and they were back channels that don't exist now. how worried are you about the unpredictability of where we are in an, in a nuclear world? of course, i mean, lesson learned from history is that appeasement with

dictators does not lead to peace. it leads to war and conflict. i think the lesson learned what regarding boot in is he only respects the language of power, unity, strength, and i say sac. he what we should demonstrate. i'm just fo rough also us mazin the former sex general of nato. thank you very much for joining us. live on al jazeera, we're hoping to come coming out to speak to the current nato secretary general. we're going to here on the stage here at the meeting security conference for the vice president of the united states. and i think perhaps most importantly for president zalinski of ukraine, who we understand is going to be speaking here. some particular us saying that patsy should postpone his visit, but it seems that he is going to be on the stage here in munich, an act of defiance. i think, to president putin the fact he's come here on to plymouth. capital, james bass. i live in munich for the moment,

james manufactured vandals for what to moscow that also there was dosage of arias their force. and also, what is moscow saying about what's going on right now along it's border with ukraine? i think there's a few moving parts here. we have to look at 1st is we heard from officials saying a interestof region that a state of emergency has been declared. and that is because over 30000 people have crossed the border into russia from eastern ukraine as a result of the ongoing and shelling that's taking place there. and as charlie mentioned earlier, of course, we have to understand that we're not on the ground. so it's very difficult to verify the information that's coming out from these regions. but the russians have said that they have now closed their side of the border. that means that people cannot enter ukraine from bratia from rural stop region. they're only getting people to come into russia, mainly women and children that have been told to evacuate as of last night. we also

know, according to local police officials, interestof region and in the village of metuchen sky, in that area, as shall landed overnight at for a. m 8 landed about to 300 meters from a residential home. so the officials are very concerned that it could have been much worse. they're saying that the ukrainian military is responsible for that's a but we have yet to hear officially from the criminal about that incidents. and we also know that the president vladimir putin late last night to issued a decree urging his ministers to go down to ro stop region to try and facilitate the influx of people coming in. and we have yet to hear from any of those officials that have had a down there. all this, of course is happening as we expect the president to oversee a number of nuclear exercises with the bell russian president, alexander lucas shinkel later today. and that is, of course, going to be taken place of the same time, most likely that we will hear from

a high ranking worth leaders at the munich conference. i think this is very much a attempt by the russian president to we focus the spotlight on to himself and these military drills that have been ongoing. and these nuclear exercises, of course, will be the most important ones. and they usually take place here every year. and october, but they have been moved up this year according to the defense ministry, but still the president as well as the kremlin, have said that there is, this is not a cause for concern. but certainly, many analysts here believe that this is yet another attempt by vladimir putin to try and show the world his strength in the military might of the russian army. all right or so many thanks need out there as docile jabari there live in moscow were getting back to the munich security conference. another issue that's being discussed there are efforts to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal. delegate say that a deal could be just days away. indirect negotiations between the u. s. and iran resumed last week in vienna. after a 10 day break. the u. s. state department says that substantial progress has been

made and that an agreement as possible. if iran shoes, seriousness, let's go live to vienna, al 0 sir ali osher miss covering of the talks up for us. so to where are we? that is a deal likely within days, ali ah good when everyone is talking about to be. many people are sitting on many observers out here in vietnam, saying that we're almost dead what they are not there. there are some details dot or rating the main 2 parties and decisions to take the decisions, the united states of america, this language republic, off iran. and each one has to say the ball is and the other side scorch. now that is a lot of optimism being expressed as a quantity is however, there are a reasons for being told shes with these with this optimism because this might be

also a kind of laying the infrastructure for the plane game just in case that talks faith . now what, what's, what's left, what's left is how to make this, the sustainable. we are a, just a witnessing, the iranian, and the europeans and americans are talking in different on different occasions. just minutes ago, the iranian top negotiator, albuquerque, left, the spin thing behind me. he was sitting there with the europeans here. now with respect to what is a, what are, what are we waiting yet for? we're waiting for an announcement. when are they going to announce that they are that the div? this is something that might take days. it might take weeks, which is something that is left to what the iranians are going to announce in the coming days or what's going to come from america. so this is mainly what everyone is waiting, gets a kind of a wait game. everyone is waiting for the size to blink 1st. however,

there is substantial progress as the united states officials are saying also, the iranian foreign minister, yesterday in munich, said that there are a big decisions to be a taken. the hearing inside would want to see guarantees, real guarantees for them to get back to the, to the deal, the united states of america once to see a big gap between iraq and the a nuclear threat, a threshold. so this is like now what's being discussed and as we know the, the devil lies in the and it, in the details of anything laid out serious alhashan reporting life out from vienna . here that is alice still to come on the program wherein saddam was tough for region where really 2 years after signing a p, steel, the still little progress in overcoming security challenges. i

see a major storm hairless northern europe killing at least 9 people of the russian skater at the center of the doping scandal arrives back in moscow. it was more criticism of her coach that's coming up later in the sport. ah, police in kansas capital have arrested more than 100 people while towing away trucks double blocking streets and central ottawa, the area for weeks. now it's been a camp for protest. us who are angry of a pandemic restrictions. i wanted to as victoria gate and be report ah, this is the moment police moved in to take back control of ottawa's streets. protest as if occupied the area outside parliament for nearly 3 weeks. oh,

offices use the new powers under the emergencies act to arrest truckers and other protest is he refused to leave her god staying long up. this is absolutely ridiculous. arresting people at a peaceful assembly that we are the right to be here even with the emergency act. oh canadian truckers calling themselves the freedom convoy accused the authorities of overreacting by negotiated on behalf of the talkers a peaceful retreat of please promise they would not talk. they would let them free peacefully. they broke the bill because there's no leadership order or turns on violence doctor they want prudence leader to more relate was among schools arrested . they've been menstruating against a rule that requires truckers to be vaccinated to cross the u. s. border. the government says the illegal blockade and occupation is a threat to peace, order, and good government to day. our economy and our democracy are

facing a serious and foreign funded threat. these illegal blockades and occupations cannot be allowed to serve the authority of democratically elected governments. oh, these say the workaround, the pool to clear the city's downtown area we're in control of the situation on the ground and continue to push forward to clear our streets. this methodical and well resource plan will take time and we are here to see it through to a safe ending. many truck has left voluntarily, but those remaining insist they won't move until the coven vaccine requirement to cross the us border is removed. victoria gay to be al jazeera law way was certified pony of free years ago, but the detection of

a new case is being seen as a setback for the fight against the virus. a little girl in malawi has been paralyzed by the 1st note infection in africa. in almost 6 years and will culture a decades long battle believe to have been one has renewed 2 years after the announcement of polio had been new radicals in africa. the 1st case of the wild polio virus has been confirmed in malachi. the world health organization says the strain is linked to the one circulating in pocket spun although separately african countries report to polio cases in recent years, they will links to an old vaccine. this is the 1st who have been called from the environment that presented with symptoms that yes, a few flattened isn't going to be especially, i mean it's probably it's probably the lifetime

for you usually affects children under 5 years and can cause is reversible paralysis, sometimes depth there is no kill, but of polio vaccine protects children for life. 25 years ago, thousands of children in africa the, paralyzed by the virus. but a series of vaccination campaigns led to it being declared, wiped out. that's now changed. one case of polio is now to make us declare these public health emergency. they let those being quoted, this must be spreading to the continent. silence, holier remains endemic in 2 countries. afghanistan and neighboring pakistan. the

case does not change the country. now africa status as being free of wild polio. but the region will increase surveillance and authorities in the lobby asked tapping up immunization programs to stop it from spreading. michelson anxious eda. dr. janet cater is the country representative of the world health organization in malawi. she joins us now live from the capital long way. good to have you with us. dr. we hold that report that this case in malawi is linked to the strain that active currently in pakistan. how does that work if this child was, as the report says, there are exposed to the virus in the environment? what's the chain of transmission? ah, i'm dr week. we can't hear the moment. are you by any chance?

do you have your, your audio muted there at your end? ah, the, the technical guys at my end of the telling me that it's your and we've got you right doctor. let me ask you the question. again. explain the chain of transmission for us. we don't know the chain of transmission. we're working with that. this is an important case. but on the ground planning with the west case scenario that we must strengthen the beta rapidly and with quality initiated vaccination campaign to base with china. transmission as we speak, the global polio eradication coordinator is out of the brand. i know with a sad team from viejo from unit from c d c. and it's on vacation that i think this weekend walk alongside the ministry of how to 2nd chain, a series of activities that who is out and i reckon nation we are worried should

parents be that if there's been one case in the community in law way that does that mean that they will be more we are worried, this is why the immediate chest thing to do. and this as i to the ready is to strengthen us of what is really encouraging is that this child was picked up as a primary care center. they were had a center, hospitals are very fire assistance, what the hell for come? so the child at the re pyro hospital, they suspect julio did make the diagnosis, provide a care, but took that additional step to pull it up once, and then we'll set in motion a series of actions that resulted in combination of the world wide wanted a virus type one. so what we need to do is intensified. c the exact same chain of events across the entire country so that we're able to pick up if indeed,

any other suspect. and she says and follow through with a doctor. how long will it take to get every kid who needs a vaccination vaccination? because the sad ga, the advanced team is already on the ground watching, showed that you showed up with the ministry of how they imagined oppression center has been activated the advance investigation. i've been complete. this includes visiting the family as a community immediate contact. additional student was, have been taken near by health facilities, has been visited to a certain way that we have been cases. so this is part of what is for their risk assessment. it's going to be completed rapidly and the completion of their risk assessment dictates when we call the vaccination campaign. and there's hope that

that's an issue because we are, we have a lot of now we are getting a lot of from their partnership with global clear indication initiative as well as well hoping to get to the people for vaccination. as soon as within 6 weeks, really good to talk to dr. many fax and it dr. janet k, i n long way. we've got a weather update next to all these are then a former police officer has the jail to killing a black man. the victims family say they feel cheated by the sentence for a shock tennis upset about say, open peter here with that later in the sport. ah, you probably know story eunice raised through northern europe is still going

actually this one here started off in orleans cross england through the low countries. this is what it did, nothing. mostly it brought down trees. course some damage to roosevelt and of course some fatalities as a result of this. it's finished yet. there are warnings cleared from most places, but still red warnings for that wind damage in poland to day sit tight. so the white lines. yes, but that's the strength of the wind. that once that's gone through it will go through fairly quickly taken the winds to lithuania and snow on the package wrapped around. we wait the next one to wind up. i'm in saturday still be a fatty wet looking picture with strong winds in some parts of sudden england and the low countries. once again, the whole thing expands and throws rain south was be not it more or less disappears in southern yet some rain, slovenia north michigan. a few shares that in the south of spain as well. mostly sunshine is the story. but then you look at sunday and a huge storm systems warning up again, this is a different beast. it center is south of iceland, it's cold, northwest, the wind,

snow shares for ireland for skulking, rain, drink, and strong winds again through the low countries through denmark. with snow on the foliage in norway winter is by no means over. ah oh, stories of life. and inspiration, ah, oh, a series of should documentaries, from around the world that celebrate the human spirit. again, the odds. ah . how did you select express yourself? ah, the shake him odd award for translation and international understanding is

agreement to end years of conflict with armed groups and awful assault zeros hipaa . morgan reports now from alpha and north doth for conversing. the words of the deal into action is proving to be slow and frustrating for some world. all the soldiers at a camp in a fashion in north, at r for 3rd, they day with the morning assembly there with the army group, just this inequality movement which fought for years against the sudanese government. but they still waiting to start implementing a peace agreement which was reached in 2020 another alcohol at that that had occur . there has been an order that aunt groups should move together into points to start the security arrangements of the deal. but to were waiting for logistical support, such as fuel engine oil spill parts for the car and supplies and other administrative issues to move to the gathering centers. hatton mclean, the dar for conflict,

killed at least 300000 people, and left more than 2000000 displaced. the peace deal allowed for those displayed during the fighting to return to their villages and for the region to be developed . it also provided some power to the former rebels. all i'm groups that have signed the piece agreement are supposed to be integrated into the national army before the end of the transitional period. currently scheduled for july next year. but more than a year after the deal, very few of the security arrangements have been implemented. and further delays are causing security concerns in the state. and in the dar 4 region world food program temporarily halted operations after an attack on its warehouses. the government responded by ordering all armed groups to leave the main cities. but the people of old fashion are still worried about 50 member heightens sidwell. there were robberies, there are killings, the country is not very safe. and that makes things hot. your m, as in papa, the security situation is terrible with the killings and robberies. the war has

not since the end of the cold war has this form convened. under such dire circumstances, to day, as we are all well aware, the foundation of european security is under direct threat in ukraine. let us remember from the wreckage of 2 world wars, a consensus emerged in europe and the united states. a consensus in favor of order. not chaos, security, non conflict. so by forge and relationships and bonds, forging organizations and the institutions law and treaties. we together established a set of rules,

norms that have governed, ever since. and europe has enjoyed unprecedented peace security and prosperity through a commitment to a set of defining principles to the united states is equally committed to these principles that people have a right. ready to choose their own form of government. that nations have a right to choose their own alliances, that they are inalienable rights. which governments must protect, that the rule of law should be cherished. that sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected. and

that national borders should not be changed by force. ha, we are here in unit and together to reaffirm our commitment to these principles. these principles have brought up peace and security. the backbone of this, of course, is nato, the greatest military alliance. the world has ever seen as a defensive alliance. we have deterred acts of aggression against nato territory for the past 75 years. and to day, let me be clear. america's commitment to article 5 is iron clad. this commitment is sacrosanct to me,

to president by bow and to our entire nation. in fact, i am joined here in munich, and by a bipartisan delegation from the united states senate and the united states house of representatives. they are democrats and republicans. they have a wide range of political views, but they stand together in recognition of the value and the importance of our nato alliance. now, even in the most difficult times for our trans atlantic community. and even when our system has been tried and tested, we, the united states in europe have come together and demonstrated our strength and our unity. just as we do today, as we stand in this decisive moment,

with all eyes on ukraine. as we have said, all along, there is a playbook of russian aggression. and this play book is too familiar to us. all. russia will plead ignorance and innocence. it will create false pretext for invasion. and it will a mass troops and fire power in plain sight. we now receive reports of what appears to be provocations and we see russia spreading. this information lies and propaganda. nonetheless, in a deliberate and coordinated effort, we together are one exposing the truth and to speaking with the

unified voice. as president joe biden has made clear the united states, our nato allies, and our partners have been and remain open to serious diplomacy. we haven't put concrete proposals on the table. we have encouraged and engaged russia through nato, the organization for security and cooperation in europe. the united nations and by lateral dialogues, we have engaged in good faith. russia continues to claim it is ready for talks. while at the same time, it narrows the avenues for diplomacy. their actions

simply do not match their words. and let me be clear, i can say with absolute certainty, if russia further invades ukraine, the united states, together with our allies and partners, will impose significant and unprecedented economic costs. ah, we have worked intensively with many of you in this room to ensure we are prepared to move forward with consequences. we have prepared together economic measures that will be swept severe and united. we will impose far reaching financial sanctions

and export controls. we will target rushes, financial institutions and key industries, and we will target those who are complicit and those who aid and abet this unprovoked invasion make no mistake. the imposition of these sweeping and coordinated measures will inflict great damage on those who must be held accountable. and we will not stop with economic measures. we will further reinforce our nato allies on the eastern flank and back together, we have already taken steps to strengthen our deterrence and collective defense. we have deployed an additional $6000.00 american service members to romania,

poland in germany. we have put another $8500.00 service members in the united states on a heightened sense of readiness. as president biden has said, our forces will not be deployed to fight inside ukraine, but they will defend every inch of nato territory. since russia launched its proxy war against you printing. nearly 8 years ago, the people of ukraine have suffered immensely. nearly 14000 people killed, more than a 1000000 displaced and nearly 3000000 in need of aid. the united states has provided significant support to ukraine, security assistance, humanitarian assistance,

and economic assistance. and we will continue to support the people of ukraine. i believe it is important for us all of us as leaders to never forget the cost of this type of aggression on human lives and livelihoods. so the night of the day, our allies and our partners together we have achieved remarkable unity. it is evident in our shared acknowledgement of the threats are united response and our determination to uphold international rules and norms in the face of russian aggression. i have been reassured and heartened by the widespread agreement across the trans

atlantic community that these rules and norms will be defended. and we should not lose sight of how rare it is in history to have a prolonged period of relative peace and stability. so let the past few months be a reminder to us all defending the rules and norms upholding our principles. this is the vital work of each generation. in recent years, some have questioned whether the west is up to the task. some have wondered whether this system can endure some have done so even on this very stage. indeed, the theme of this conference 2 years ago questioned the staying power of the west.

whether or not the trans atlantic community was losing its cohesion, its influence. it's appeal. so i will answer the skeptics and those seeking to test us today, the united states, our allies and our partners, are closer together to day. we are clearly in our purpose and to day we are even more confident in our vision. our strength must not be under estimated because after all, it lies in our unity. and as we have always shown, it takes a lot more strength to build something up. then it takes to tear something

down. thank you. was that is the address in the munich security conference or saying that the foundation of european security is under threat or nate, as you said, america's commitment to article 5 was, i'm glad we had engaged with russia in good faith. she said, russia claims it's ready for towards what narrowing the avenues for diplomacy is read for diplomacy, rushes actions do not match their words. alright, let's bring on james base. who's been following events. i mean it, me listening to the vice president's word st. james, what did you make of what kind of hard to say? well, i think she's trying to amplify what many other leaders here are saying, and it's the fact they're all saying it. and that is unity among the nato and e.

you allies are the u. s. clearly leading because it's the u. s. that has, i think the boldest. busy claims, particularly with regard to intelligence and regard to the imminence of the threat . president biden saying, with president putin is made up his mind to invade ukraine. and you certainly got everyone here saying that they are standing together. she referred the meaning security conference. it didn't happen last year because the pandemic was doing security conference 2 years ago. the theme that was called west las nurse, which meant that there was no leadership in the west and no cohesion among the western allies. and she says that is back and very firmly back. she says that they are united in their opposition to any what she calls of further invasion of ukraine, making it quite clear that course what happened in 2014 vladimir putin took crimea . so this would be a further invasion if he take steps now and saying that there would be sweeping

sanctions that have been agreed by of the key players. those sanctions, she said would target financial institutions and key industries. i think also interesting that because what you also seen in recent weeks is reinforcement of nato holland and the baltic states. those northern states, those, those countries near russia, i've seen reinforcements of nato forces. there already had been forward operating bases in many of those nato states. that have been reinforced since 2014 but it's gone on in recent weeks. she made it clear that if that was an invasion, yes, that be those sanctions. but she said they would further reinforce the eastern flank, suggesting they'll be even more u. s. and other nato troops going to those nato countries that border russia. but i have to make it clear.
