6:13 am
partners are fully committed to surgery, weapons of assistance to the ukraine and moral becoming as we source additional stocks of equipment that are all that were ready to transfer. but the new aid package stopped short of the mig fighter jets and the no fly zones. the lensky wants putting the white house and some congressional leaders in conflict. while i oppose a nato no flood zone, i support enthusiastically, the sending of mig aircraft from poland to the ukrainian air force so that can be more competitive in the skies. well, president biden has rejected the idea of a no fly zone for now. it is still under consideration and will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion when the u. s. president has to brussels next week for a special meeting of nato leaders. kimberly help get al jazeera, the white house. when our president putin says he's ready to talk about ukraine's
6:14 am
neutrality, he said russia can still meet its objectives in ukraine. the other that western sanctions against moscow will backfire in a very cowardly way. there are some cultures who have lived down. they are parcels, the great financial prussia against russia have been noticed. and we will do what we can to make sure that the new package of sanctions against russia will be met by our late orders against them. lot more sense coming out as they are, including we meet some of those looking for safe haven, half a world away from the front lines and ukraine. i'm the head of a key court decision in cambodia. the government is accused and using cobra 90 rules to stifle dissent. morning steamers ah hello there. let's have
