american defense systems and soldiers, american soldiers. but apart from that, we have a representative that are present a political plantation on the highest level, which is actually just a 2nd then we're important. things are happening in place. in the european and global perspective, we must save in ukraine. we all understand that we have tube up to call all hands on deck. we have to keep unity within nato. what we have to do to maintain sorta data, to speak in one voice. also in the european union and other international organizations, we need to introduce more sanctions against russia. we cannot tolerate such

a military actions which, which are keen to be 2 crimes against humanity because no, but do have, we can have any doubt if we, if people shoot rockets, drop bombs on hospitals. and this is that this is a barbarity. and just because this is came to genocide, so we have to take clear position as representatives of the free world. we standings with america and i have no doubt that all honest states and governments and democrats exceeds we'll have to take the same position at the end of our talks. i also mentioned that we want to improve our security here in poland. i'm going to be buying american equipment for our

forces and we have such programs like patriots and the purchase of $35.00 fighters and also the beginning of the program of the purchase of brahms times i asked vice president here, that's all those programs should be sped up because we want our armed forces to have this mold and equipment as soon as possible. is this necessary? i don't think we need to comment on this. we see what dramatic scenes are playing out in ukraine, which seat in the media. we also see they probable determination and here harry's and of ukrainians, and we support them. we stand side by side with them, but we want also to keep the security of our space that's very important to us.

witnessed extraordinary acts of generosity and kindness. we have seen through images on the television, looking at images of ordinary people doing extraordinary thing in support of the dignity and the well being of perfect strangers. so i 1st and foremost want to express the thanks for the people of the united states to you. mister president on behalf of our president joe biden. and to the people of poland for what you are doing every day. it really represents the best of who we are. we are here and i am here in poland today as part of an enduring, long standing friendship and commitment between the united states and poland based on shared values and priorities. i am here standing here

on the northern flank, on the eastern plank, talking about what we have in terms of the eastern flank and our nato allies. and what is at stake at this very moment? what is at stake this very moment? or some of the guiding principles around the nato alliance. and in particular, the issue and the importance of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity. in this case of ukraine as president due to has described, we have been witnessing for weeks and certainly just in the last 24 hours atrocities of unimaginable proportion. a maternity hospital, a children's hospital where we have witnessed to pregnant women for their, for care, for one reason being taken out because they required care because of an act of violence, unprovoked,

unjustified. i am here in poland as an expression of the enduring and important relationship between the united states and poland. that again has been longstanding, but in particular on the issue of ukraine is unified and is clear. we will do everything together in partnership, in solidarity to support what is necessary at this very moment in terms of the humanitarian and security needs of ukraine in the ukranian people. today we discuss mr. president, many issues that relate to our special bond also because i will say the point of personal privilege. we have a substantial polish american community in my home town of los angeles. but throughout the united states who understands the relationship that we have on many

levels, including the diplomatic, but also cultural relationships that span generations. and so through all of that and in the spirit of those relationships and our shared commitments are shared commitment to the importance of international norms and rooms you and i discussed today many important topics in particular as it relates to the stone flank. and we talked specifically about what we care deeply about in terms of our commitment, the united states commitment to article 5. i've said many times, i will say it again. the united states commitment to article 5 is ironclad. the united states is prepared to defend every inch of nato territory. the united states take seriously than an attack against one is an attack against all. we are here today to restate that commitment.

but also to do what we must do to reinforce our support of poland and our allies through the nato alliance. in particular, as it relates to troop deployment. we have recently deployed an additional $4700.00 american troops to poland. that's on top of the years of rotation of about 5000 american troops in poland. we are pleased to have announced this week that we have directed to patriot missile defense systems to poland. and today i can announce that we have delivered those patriot systems to poland. we do this as a reminder and as a demonstration of our commitment to the security of our allies and our commitment in particular to poland at this moment in time. as it relates to the people of

ukraine, they have suffered immensely. when we talk about humanitarian aid, it is because yes, the assistance is necessary, but what compels us also is the moral outrage that all civilized nations feel. when we look at what is happening to innocent men, women, children, grandmothers, grandfathers, who are fleeing everything, they've known. our outrage, which compels not only are security assistance, but our humanitarian systems is rooted in the fact that also we support the people of ukraine who have shown extraordinary courage and skill and their willingness. and yes, ability to fight against who is

a war and rushes aggression. so today we are also announcing in pursuit of what must happen, which is to provide humanitarian assistance that we will give another $50000000.00 the united states will, through the lens would of world food program to assist with humanitarian aid. the president. and i also talked about the fact that as he mentioned, poland has taken in just a very short period of time and excess of one and a half 1000000 refugees and from ukraine. and that has put an extraordinary burden on poland and the people of poland. and so we will continue with the support that we can give you, mr. president, in terms of the work that you and the people of poland have been doing to bear this burden. but in a way that really has been with such grace and such generosity. we

also are pleased to have shared with the president what our united states congress has done, which is there is a commitment now of $13600000000.00 in human, human, humanitarian and security assistance that will be then distributed and shared with ukraine and the people of this region and europe. all again, understanding that this moment in time requires both the humanitarian response as well as security assistance. and today i'm also pleased to say that we are in ongoing discussions with poland and our allies about the effectiveness of sanctions thus far and going forward. as we have announced in the united states, we have through the united states department of justice, started

a task force to do what is required and necessary and appropriate in terms of investigations as it relates to any criminal activities and behaviors on behalf of institutions and individuals including oligarchy, we talked to the president, 9 about the effectiveness of the sanctions we've seen thus far. in terms of the courage and the bold action that has been taken through the nato alliance. to do what is necessary to send a clear signal that there will be, as we promise severe cost and consequence for rushes aggression. to the point that we have now seen a freefall of the rouble to the point that we have now seen that fresh as credit rating has been rated as junk. and what we know to be real economic consequence to russia, because of putin's war. as you know,

the president of the united states also made the decision to do what was necessary in terms of the purchase of russian oil in the united states. again, we will continue to focus on this issue. keeping in mind that this is a moment that requires severe and swift consequence for rushes aggression against ukraine. and i'll close by saying what we say every day for these last weeks, which is we stand with the people of ukraine, that we admire their courage. and that we are aligned in our support of their sovereignty and territorial integrity. thank you mister president. mama doesn't everything engine. you got to skip personal over the new baton you up on. you're going to cover stuff over drifting scholars from television,

television. but i haven't said that he could have that separate as i would like to direct to my question to both of you know, playing it. and that's good. i'll see. footnote: how has this aggression little aggression in ukraine, the post mortem, she has influenced the polish american relations? actually, hearing the last visit to poland on us saying that our friendship has been the strongest so. so far, ever in history. do you maintain that? it cannot be said too frequently or strongly enough. the relationship between the united states and poland is a deep, enduring, and strong one. and dare i say, has become even stronger when we have been faced as a world with such adversity. i think we all know, even in our personal line,

adversity really truly can present the real measure of an individual or a relationship. and what we have seen, without any doubt, is that this friendship and relationship between the united states and poland is a strong one. so if i thought i had another bit, diane, to answer this question, michigan, i would have to look deeper in stance for so i will say that it was butcher. now i am when i started, susan. ah, my service there co present as a president of the fellowship applicants, if not in 2015, does come out as the vines. i knew very well, i guess if not, we'll see that the great and aggressive russia as our late

president captain sky was saying in 2008 in georgia, just enough to look at this address if country will not stop at georgia, all right, ukraine in 2014, i knew that at this imperial up at i was gro, if the world does not react to it, and if the north atlantic treaty does not stand firm, we will have more talk from russia, which may affect my country potent at some stage with james. so when i started my presidency, i knew that i had to do everything to defend, to protect poland against his fate. much, i must say clearly strongly here. the presence of the vice president said that the people who understood, well, what are you thought about the americans, about a russian threat were the representatives of the american administration and

president obama himself and the american generals. and thanks to them, we achieved the strengthening of the eastern flank of and later for the 1st time since we joined nature inaction tonight, not the body shop at the so the summit, the not native summit and was so thanks to the decisions of the american present and also the rest of the allies who were convinced by us has produced his presents the guys of the of the allies on our soil. the 1st americans arrived on rotation, which they come and go, the soldiers change about the american army is has

a permanent presence on our soil. that was a breakthrough president. if we remember was the late president left katrina. he said 2008. he told me, and i say he listens when we have american soldiers on our soil, american military installations, american equipment, and then the whole world will see that we are really out of the russian sphere property. this is that true friendship. as a vice president has set today, a friend friend in need is a friend. indeed, i'm particularly happy is that today? yes. when we stand facing the threads, we are in necessity by the united states by present biden's decisions have

sent additional soldiers and r and announcing the strengthening the eastern flank of nature in europe. also. now, because this is the essence of understanding of the geo politics, the strategic goals which the free world has to achieve is steep, quote, is american friendship. and though certainty is stronger than ever, yes, i am sure to say that during the 70 years of life presidency, the polish american friendship cordiality has been greater than ever. and today, presence of vice president come on, how is it was? so today is just another proof of this and also all the trips of because in biden's administrations to this country proves that

my contact with the president of the united states are very frequent. we talk about those questions of security very often. yes, if we are talking about friendship in great politics, friendship between states, it's certainly is illustrated by the polish american friendship. it's probably the strongest than ever in history. come from nandita. both writers. hi, mom was present and thank you for and present to, to thank you for taking my question. present. lensky has strongly asked for better air power in recent days. and my question is, what kind of alternative plan does the united states have to get materials to help you crane defend itself, especially now that you have declined pullman's offer on jets. can you give us some specifics on what you discussed with the polish leaders on this issue of my

president and one for president dude at the united states says mister president, it was not consulted before you made the offer to make your jets available to be united to the united states is that accurate and did pulling act unilaterally in making an offer? if yes, why? especially now that you have spoken about the strong relationship that us and poland has shared over the years. thank you. i want to be very clear. the united states and poland are united in what we have done and are prepared to do to help the crane and the people of ukraine. falstaff. in terms of the work that the united states has done

the farm we have, as, you know, given military humanitarian and security assistance. and that is an ongoing process. as i mentioned earlier, congress, the united states congress has now made a decision for 13 plus $1000000000.00 the united states of us money to go to ukraine and our european allies to assist in terms of both their security and humanitarian needs. we have also just this past week, given $240000000.00 and security assistance delivered to crane, and that's on top of the $1000000000.00 in the past year that we have sent to ukraine. i can tell you that the issue facing the ukrainian people and our allies in eastern flank is something that occupies

one of our highest priorities in terms of paying attention to the needs. understanding it is a dynamic situation and requires us to be nimble and to be swift, i mentioned being swift in terms of accountability and consequence. we also fully appreciate, we must be swift in terms of providing assistance where we can be helpful. and we will continue to do that for their plan, especially mindset issue with pulling on well, we're making deliveries every day in terms of what we can do in terms of assistance . and in particular, when you look at what we've been doing as it relates to anti tank and anti defense systems, that is an ongoing process. and that's not going to stop to the extent that there

is a need. thank you for calling baton. you personally. when you say i was made my turn to answer the question that so do i care about the situation is very difficult both just upset because we we are observing. we're seeing that the ukrainians are fighting for independence supplement for survival and we all support the nation that not just the ukraine soldiers, ukrainian nation. it's not only man, it's also women fighting in different lines. we side by side with them then to defend our country. we have no doubt that they need assistance because and to say more, they have the right to expect and to demand today's,

this assistance from the money we are giving them humanitarian and material aid as far as we can, we are trying to do it as fast as we can, some expectations, not the must have been expressed very clearly, very vocally towards the to the atlantic treaty and to poland as a member of nato law. so we have to look at security and not just through our own prism, but through through the eyes of the whole of nato. we need to be a responsible member of the alliance. so, so it's been a view of the request from the for union side sports, most of the and also part of that media international community. we decided to act as a, as

a responsible member of no such alliance to know who does not want to risk difficult, creating a different, different, difficult position for nato, but wants to find some ways of support for the fight for the fighters in ukraine. and that was the origin of our governments and my personal personal appeal most the day. that's how we formulated what we can do to support ukraine and military. we simply decided to give dos planes put them at the disposal of the alliance without even expecting. and the replacement for the

equipment that we were prepared to give we are prepared to buy or whatever we need to replace those planes. but we were ready to to give up those planes and to offer them free. but we wanted to do it in accordance with the decisions of nature as a whole. we didn't want to act unilaterally. so we wanted to, we wanted to consult everyone in need to including our neighbors who are different, right? so then you can find my, what you got to find that are in my or would you go get the rent for the or madam by earth, and still live in the 20 imaginable suffering of the ukraine people caused by the surgeon by made by what the me put in my question is that will do us as supporting international investigation into war crimes committed by russia

and ukraine. and can you see any political future for putting an interest to each other battalions upon us because of dental? all the concern that trish was ok, elko feel a bunny ears or the book. ok. not at all. i. we are very clear. the nato alliance is stronger and russia is weaker because of what pollutant has done that is very clear to us and when it comes to crimes and violations of international norms and rules, we are also very clear. is there any intentional attack on innocent civilians is

a violation the un has set up a process by which there will be a review and investigations and we will of course, participate as appropriate and necessary. but we all watched the television coverage of just yesterday. that's on top of everything that we know and don't know yet, based on what we've just been able to see in because we've seen it or not, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. but just limited to what we have seen. pregnant women going for health care. being injured by i don't know missile a bomb in an unprovoked unjustified war where a powerful country is trying to take over another country violated

sovereignty, its territorial integrity for the sake of what nothing that is justified or provoked. absolutely, there should be an investigation. and we should all be watching, and i have no question the eyes of the world are on this war. and what russia has done in terms of this aggression and these atrocities, no doubt plans go to the stones problem is obvious to our guy, nan ross, jani, was broken. the russians are committing war crimes in ukraine. i hope it is going to be equally clear to the tribunal who will look at stows to find responsible parties. but to remember that the refugees from ukraine

are coming to poland. it's a stream of people who are witnesses, witnesses of their houses being destroyed, shooting to civilians killing their neighbors, shooting to children bombing hospitals. ah, they are witnesses and truths former day have them into smartphones and their video. the videos are horrendous. sure. would you say it is terrible that such scenes are playing out in ukraine and the culprits? russians? we have a troops off of procure, chose, sent by by the tribunals. they are collecting evidence and do we as poland, independent of trying to help them in collecting the evidence. that's remember

that we have many witnesses. we have many proof at our disposal. we are collecting those status to you and this work and continues. and i hope that that will that will produce indictments and then sentences to the culprits of this in his barbaric crow from of my colleague of n p r. thank you. thank you. met him, vice president. i wanted to ask you about some reporting that my colleague here in poland noticed he recently spoke with the mayor of the largest border town. who told him that the refugee system is essentially not set up for this, that it will collapse. it's an improvised system that can work for maybe 2 weeks, but not indefinitely. and i'm wondering what the united states is going to do,

more specifically to set up a permanent infrastructure. and relatedly, is the united states willing to make a specific allocation for ukrainian refugees? and for president do that. i wanted to know if you think and if you asked the united states to specifically accept more refugees. ok. a friend need as a friend. ok, so this time the southern i want you to dr. should talk about the situation is very difficult. i already, i talked to vice president, come along a lot about this cross and i said directly, i'm a criticism. quotes that we have a refugee crisis because poland tanya is still capable of finding new places for these people who are crossing the frontier. but we already have

a close to 1500000 people in just a 1000000 just in 10 days. we have never had a situation where it is an entirely new situation. museum is just an investment we are trying to to meet this demand. i have to thank you because we don't tell us that it's are that they have shown so much. so the data change is difficult situation, but we realize that the problem is growing and we'll have to have to find measures and we have no such experience on them. that's why i talk to mr. anthony good. good cherry gutierrez, united nations secretary general. and i described the problem to

which i was telling him how the po to society in the fall. it is our coping with this problem. but at the same time, i told him that unless we get some more assistance international assistance, or it will end up as a contest as a refugee catastrophic mockery. ok, so i asked for material and financial helps, almost expired as well as assistance from the experts because united nation has to have seen more than one such crisis. and i'm sure that they have good methods of coping with those problems which appear in crisis like this. as i said, i showed the the details of american

assistance is essential to us and we will be as terribly grateful if we have it immediately. what are we talking also about those refugees from ukraine who have what found that is that it is in the united states just don't, you know, at least for the duration of this conference, conflicts they would, they would like to to be with, with their friends and relations in america, i talk to both the counselor procedures. i was actually, we should help these people to, to link up with families in america. so these procedure procedures could be simplified job. we are continuously looking for international assistance because yes, we have the size of the majority of refugees from recruiting in our country. we are a large country and such and we bought

a material position of and polish citizens is certainly better than the material position of the ukrainian citizen today. we are not the richest nation in europe. our situation has improved with a recent, but i might be sure that they're also arriving because they are aware of the presence of the american troops in poland expire. and we have soldiers from other countries, from britain and other countries session. and so they, they understand this. poland is a kind of a safe haven, a country where the presidents that we did just discuss. and i started by thing the president and poland and the people have fallen for what they have done. and i will restate what i said earlier this afternoon, so they've shown extraordinary generosity and kindness and courage. and they have,

there have been some here who have relatives who have arrived from ukraine. but i think there are many more who are taking perfect strangers with barely is a lot to give, but giving a lot on the last. so we recognize that and we recognize the burden that it places on the government of poland on the president and the infrastructure of this country . when you look at, as the president said, over one and a half 1000000 people coming within 2 weeks, virtually unprecedented. if you track and look at refugee flows over the history of time from regions of conflict. so the united states is absolutely prepared to do what we can and what we must just support poland in terms of the burden that they have taken on that i think all of us who understand the moral

obligation we should feel to help people who are fleeing harm and seeking refuge the, the burden we should all be prepared to take on to support those people who are flying their home when they don't want to leave. in terms of what we are doing in the united states. we will then take this in terms of what we can do to support and look at those ukrainians who want to come to the united states. what we're seeing thus far is large parts of that population are fling ukraine, who desire to stay in europe. you probably know that we have made a decision, as it relates to tps the temporary protected status. so for ukrainians that are in the united states who, who the visa may expire or has expired? if they were in the united states before, i believe it's march, i don't have the exact date, they will be able to say they won't be required to leave even though their visa has

expired. because of course, we would not send them back to what is a war zone. and the bottom line is that i have stated the position to the president this afternoon. as we have said many times through our work collectively in the un, through nato, we will support poland in terms of the burden it is facing, and our collective responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of these refugee nothing consumer confidence you plus, i don't think we have on jo, thank you very much. thank you. so that is the american vice president. com la harris, who's been meeting with the polish presidents in war for really this meeting comes at a time hash tension between poland and the us off. the us said no basically

to a proposal of sending polish 5 digits to a u. s. space to then be given to ukrainian forces because they are russian made jets and ukrainian forces. know how to fly these jets. the us said, no, we can't do that both read. is there the really wanting to reiterate the relationships they relationship rather remain strong? the polish president started by speaking about russians. barberic acts referenced the maternity hospital in mario paul. the attack, there are the us vice president addressing the polish people directly thanking them for the way that they have welcomed by and large welcomed ukrainian refugees into polish territory. she continued to talk about how the u. s. commitment to nato is iron clad, saying the u. s. is prepared to defend every inch of nature territory. she also

said about some extra $47000.00 american troops have been sent to poland on top of those that are already rotating in and out. and that 2 patriot missile defense systems have been delivered to poland. as a reminder, in a demonstration, she said of america's commitment to paula poland and comma harris says the stakes couldn't be higher because what she said, what is at stake this very moment or some of the guiding principles around the nato alliance. and in particular, the issue and the importance of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity. in this case of ukraine as president due to has described. we have been witnessing for weeks and certainly just in the last 24 hours atrocities of unimaginable proportion. and poland president is calling for tough

a sanctions against moscow just to the school, not as soon as they miss that goes, but obviously we must save ukraine. we all understand that we must have all hands on deck yet most we have to keep unity within nato. which we have to maintain solidarity and speak in one voice as well as in the european union and other international organizations. we need to introduce more sanctions against russia. we cannot tolerate such military actions which are akin to crimes against humanity. because nobody can have any doubt, if people should rockets and drop bombs on hospitals, that is the barbarity that is akin to genocide. i would think now to john hall who is standing by for us in the live a lot talk about from that press conference with the polish president and the american vice president. what stood out for you

if you remember a couple of days ago and new blink and the secretary of state did a similar sort of lightning to along these eastern nations of europe and nato on the border with ukraine. not just native, but non nato as well. he went to bowl dover, he was in poland, now come on, harris, the vice president doing similar things. i mean, this is the biggest nation in the native alliance, united states. of course, this is absolutely as far east as the united states dead tread in this war and not just the united states, but nato itself. very, very cautious, very wary of being dragged into this conflict. i think what these meetings these visits show is the extent of extreme nervous is nervousness now and unease among ukraine's neighbors. particularly poland. poland is hugely exposed in all of this one and a half 1000000 refugees have entered the country. it's having an enormous challenge

dealing with that problem, but equally potent has become the main supply route, essentially for weaponry. heading to ukraine's forces. not just p p and guns, but we're talking about anti tank weapons and air defenses as well. weaponry that is being didn't donated by individual countries, not under the umbrella ages. very carefully, not under the umbrella aegis of nato. we had this situation a couple of days ago where potent said he was willing to donate mig aircraft to ukraine, ukrainian fighter pilots who know how to fly them. but it wasn't gonna do it itself was going to put those planes at the disposal of the united states. so it could do it. and the united states, you need to do it. oh no, no, no, no, no, that's unfeasible. there is this tremendous nervousness. president putin has said already that these donations of weaponry tantamount to an act of war. so what is at stake here, i think, is the united states emphasizing and re emphasizing its absolute support for these

countries, should they come into any difficulty and not just the u. s. support, but nature support, so you have common harris, they're reiterating the u. s. his commitment to article 5, the nato, a nato alliance. article 5, an attack on one is an attack on all. she said that commitment was iron clad. the u . s. was prepared to defend every inch of nato territory if necessary, pointing out the activation by nato, unprecedented of its defense plans. 4700 troops and patriot missiles there as well . but essentially encouraging these countries to keep doing for ukraine. what nato, as an alliance can't do, indeed, or i will leave it there. thank you very much for that. don't a whole there for us interview. the highest level talks in russia invaded ukraine 2 weeks ago, have ended with little sign of progress. turkey foreign minister hosted his ukrainian or russian count boss in antalya. this meeting was both.

this conversation was both easy and difficult. easy because mister lover of basically followed his traditional narratives about ukraine. difficult, because i did my best to at least find a diplomatic solution. we also raised the issue of a fire 24 hour fire to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this since it seems that there are other decision makers for this, for this matter in the russian to people to go to the you pretty me, you grocery because we are not planning to attack other countries and we did not

attack ukraine, either we were just dealing with issues there despite our request multiple requests, no one was listening to us and the new facts that are being uncovered and liberated territory, namely hands can to ask peoples republic shown invasion, had been planned for this month. tamala, shell has more now on those talks from antonia in turkey, the ukrainian foreign ministers you heard there said that he was hoping to at least get some sort of a fire, even if it were just for 24 hours. and that the russian side refused to accept that request or to provide any sorts of a sensation in their hostilities in ukraine. the ukrainian, from an instance of the reason for that was that it appears that the form of moscow didn't have the power to make such a decision. as far as number of is concerned, obviously he accused the ukrainians of delay tactic thing that they just wanted to talk for the sake of it that there was never on the agenda discussion of ending the
