president vladimir putin has announced moscow will suspend its role in the new start treaty. that limit stockpiles of nuclear weapons. the arms control agreements is the last remaining between russia and the us. but it made the comments during a wide ranging address to his to this nation. we alluded, they want to deliver us a strategic defeat live. i have to say that russia suspends its participation in new started treaty. russia does not abandon the treaty, but suspends its participation. now, before resuming the discussion, we must 1st understand what do countries of north atlantic alliance like frogs and great britain aspire for. and how will we take these strategic arsenals into account? well, yes, we have got correspondence following the story across the regions, and best ravi is and keith allen. fisher is in warsaw. that's where president biden is about to speak. but 1st, let's go over to us. i'm a been dr. aid. he's standing by for us in moscow and the summer. tell us about the significance of russia suspending its participation in this arms control treaty.
7:03 pm
what it is, the law street between these 2 countries are which shared about 90 percent of the world's nuclear warheads said the treaty, which was going to work to words and has been working towards a reduction in weapons and nuclear disarmament as it's a wider goal. and the blinding me putting you heard saying that he's not pulling out of this treaty. he is going to suspended a saying that again, he have information that the united states plans to carry out a more nuclear tests. and russia will follow suit if it does. so, but if he made it clear that it will not be, the russians will carry it out 1st. and this is something we've been hearing the past year about the threat of nuclear warfare. as this conflict has escalated to europe's largest nuclear power plant, which came pair perilously close to a nuclear disaster. and this is the biggest fear that people have had in the last
7:04 pm
year. but as you mentioned, a whole host of issues in that one hour 45 minute long speech, where he 1st laid the foundation of why russia had to go to war. according to president vladimir putin, russia was put in the position by the rest, where it was an interfering in russian on russian borders by amassing weapons in ukraine and it had to go and defend what he calls russian people. he then don't talk to his local audience hair, explaining to them what the war has not been able to do, which is a to defeat russian military to bring it to economic collapse and isolate in the rest of the world. and then he also warned world powers about how this conflict could escalate even further. and russia is not going to stop until it achieves a complete victory. and if the continued to provide long range weapons to ukraine, russia will have to go that much deeper to take them out and us, i'm a meanwhile we've got china's top debt from at one g in moscow. what's he been saying when he's been meeting got various russian officials.
7:05 pm
this is a host of meetings that one he has had alluded to when he was in brussels. china's position has been ran. it was warned by the united states to not provide lethal aid to russia, that it is the united states, which is providing lethal aid to this conflict by sending weapons to ukraine and china once these 2 countries to move towards a peaceful revolution which seems miles apart or on both sides perspective of what, what moscow sees is a, a militarized threat in the form, or will you be a new government? and ukraine does not want to let russia infringing that sovereignty. so this is what it sort of an impossible task that one ye has right now to try and bring them to the negotiating table if they agree to his terms. but also what moscow wants to show with this visit is that as world leaders have been visiting keith, moscow is not alone as well. it's, it does have strategic partners. it has been able to a 2nd vent,
7:06 pm
the sanctions that have been put on it. although its economy has suffered, but it does not stand alone, and this is a message that be sought not just from the russian president, but from the russian foreign ministry and other leaders as well that russia is not isolated and it will continue it on its path until it achieves what it calls victory assignment. i've had, i 1st in moscow, thanks very much the summer. let's go over now to poland and join our correspond alan fish at his time by france n at warsaw and alan we can see stage being set for biden's speech within the next hour. tell us what we're expecting to happen. well, cuz you have to remember that just a year ago, joe biden was talking to skeptical ally, saying, look, we have to be aware of the big build up a russian troops on the ukrainian border. this is a real threat. many people didn't believe him, including at some end ukraine, and no one year on. he's trying to tell his allies, look, we've got to be
7:07 pm
a lead to the threat that this carries, that he understands that people are tired of the loss of the death of the cost. but this is a battle that as far as he's concerned, western democracies have to win against russia. he will thank the polls for the rule that they have played. remember, they have been hugely significant and accepting more than 2000000 refugees from ukraine and the adelaide part of the war. and many of those people have set up home here. he'll talk about the humanitarian help that the united states and other countries will give poland. and he will acknowledge that poland has essentially become the gateway to getting a military supplies into ukraine to help the ukrainians against any russian aggression. and he will hope that that will continue, but he will also hope to re it to, to guard allies, to make sure that they are on the same side that they continue to support the effort that they don't walk away. and he's doing this against the backdrop, of course, of a lack of support, or certainly easing support across europe,
7:08 pm
and also back home in the united states. and there are others who want him to go farther in just a short distance from here in one of the squares or more. so there is a large sign that says joe biden should provide f sixteens. those are fighter jets for the ukranian, something that vladimir zalinski has talked about. and when joe biden announced the half a $1000000000.00 of extra aid he was given to ukraine when he was in key on monday, he said they'll be no new munitions, which is safer. saying we're not providing fighter jets, he still concerned about putting america into the middle of this fight, even though they continue to see why so much weapons so much military aid and so much financial aid to the ukrainians. so this is a big speech for joe biden. is going to stay to the speech you remember a year ago, right? at the ent, he talked about, my god, this man can't stay in power talking about vladimir putin is unlikely he'll address them directly, even though he knows letting me put and spoke with him the last couple of hours. this is about galvanizing support, not just here in poland, but through all the world and the western allies for what the united states is
7:09 pm
leading in ukraine. ok element thanks very much over will be bringing biden's speech live to view as when it begins to in about 20 minutes or so. meanwhile, ukraine's foreign minister is in brussels to meet leaders from nato and the e. u. nato secretary general again. so some bag sad ukraine has the right to defend itself in the face of rising russian aggression. he is mobilizing more troops on sending in more weapons. and that's exactly why we need to step before so $44.00 or ukraine because it will be a tragedy for ukrainians. was also dangerous for all it was if a person put in windsor in crime. and then we had to remember, this is, this is a war of choice, this is war aggression or russia decides to invade. a neighbor, ukraine, or under crane, of course has the right to defend itself. and our correspondent then best ravi as lie 1st now in ukrainian capital keys at zane. tell us about the reaction that
7:10 pm
you've been seeing there to vladimir putin state of the nation's speech earlier on tuesday. well, an advisor to the office of the president tweeted while latimer prudent was still midway through his speech and he described his speech as out of touch with the realities on the ground, unhelpful to moving forward in trying to end this conflict. he said that the idea that there are nazis in ukraine is the same as the idea that there are martians in ukraine described. a lot of what i was saying is, conspiracy theories. now, everything that the russian leader has done, everything that has happened in this war in the last year has pushed ukraine further towards the west. further towards the united states, into the arms of the e. u, a nato. and that is likely to continue to be the case is veiled. threat of nuclear weapons of the nuclear threat has been something that has happened throughout this conflict. and the speech today where he was talking about pulling out of the
7:11 pm
agreement with united states. that is something that is likely to help you create push. it's narrative that the russians want to carry out nuclear blackmail by threatening sites in country and using the nuclear threat as something to blackmail the entire world. that is something that western allies are likely to take more seriously, and it's likely to help you can get more of what it wants from its allies. more and bigger weapons. and away from all the talking zane. what, what do we hearing from the front lines of the fighting? well, what we keep hearing from the soldiers on the front line from their commanders is that they need more weapons and they need them. now. us, president biden has offered more military aid on his trip, another $500000000.00 in direct military aid. but for many of the people on the front line that are trying to hold back the rush in advance, those weapons that help will be too little too late. now, a warning to our viewers. our report include some images that you may find distressing. the wounded. keep
7:12 pm
coming this, leaving the front line on their backs into the care of metrics with the lucky ones stabilized and moved to hospitals where the hope is they will leave on their feet. so not good news or some of the most difficult thing for us right now. is losing our sites is losing our people out. those who are fighting for ukraine when they bring in a person who is wounded and has deadly injuries you watch on them. and you can't help with anything you. what is the worst thing you can imagine at aid station like this one in the den, that region close to the fighting. there is very little space between life and death. doctor se saving a russian soldier can be just as important to you, forgot those sure that i took the hippocratic oath, and i am obliged to treat old patient regardless of nationality. and secondly,
7:13 pm
the saved life of a captive is an opportunity to exchange for our captive in their camp. so that way we can save the lives of our soldiers once a year. and still the wounded. keep coming. facing rapid assaults in the east or standing guard in the north ukraine soldiers say the threat of the next russian attack is everywhere. were about 15 kilometers from the border, with the bell roofs, in the chernobyl exclusion zone. russian forces had occupied this area at the beginning of the invasion, senior commanders with the ukrainian troops now tell us that they are carrying out these live fire exercises to be prepared if russian troops ever decide to come back . these drills are happening close to the site of the 1986 chernobyl nuclear disaster rushes occupation of the site last year.
7:14 pm
the ongoing occupation of this upper region nuclear plant, ukraine says, makes the threat either by accident or design of nuclear fallout. a real possibility of january the training is happening here because there is exist a chance of possible attack from belarus, which we already had some time ago. so we are training at this exact location to be sure we are ready to meet the enemy, me engaged in battle, or waiting to get into the fight. ukrainian soldiers say they've been forced into the kind of conflict that was until a year ago, a thing of the past. they say they want russians to leave their land. and peace to return is in basra, b l g 0, the turnover exclusion zone can ukraine? ah, in best humans are against that she for people trapped under

7:16 pm
was also planning on coming back to retrieve possessions, but says he knew with the strength of monday's quakes, that the building wouldn't survive. have not sort of this, and i don't think anyone can ever plan anything wrong after things like this happened. soldiers who've been stationed here for the past week have been describing to us how these latest quakes have completely transformed this one street. yet again, some buildings that had already been damaged have been further pushed over to one side. others that were close to collapse. now just piles of rubble for cities like an takia. these quakes have added to the suffering and the misery people are already enduring. bill and his family now share this one tent with another family. when the quakes came, he said they had to comfort their terrified children. then as it was like we were out at sea and we were being hit by waves coming from one side to the other. the people in this corner of south east and turkey, i having to re live the nightmare that began for them 2 weeks ago. rob mcbride,
7:17 pm
al jazeera and tech. you let's go live now to teresa by. she's indefinite and her high province to the could you tell us what happened when this quake struck last night? when it is a cold and very sad evening here in the head tie province, one of the most devastated by the earthquakes on february 6, there is thousands of people who have died thousands of others who have lost their homes and millions who are in desperate need and all of this is happening was another earthquake, 644 earthquake struck this part of the country on monday evening. again, fear and shock and terror on the street. we living the tragedy that many of the people located here already suffered just that we were here that just not far away from what. right? yeah, right now a family we're going inside
7:18 pm
a building trying to recover some of their belongings. they're staying inside mostly because of the cold weather and they were killed during this last earthquake, then there was an after shock and after chuck are still ongoing around this area just until a few minutes ago. have you. quitman was working here to my right hand. there was a building who had been weekend during the february 6 earthquake. it is about to collapse and they were trying to find remove the debrief, but also the possibility of remain being there earlier today. kind of are dogs that were around this area, they detected something and that's why they continue to search. many people here are saying they still have not been able to find their loved ones. so the possibility of finding people alive, you know, it's almost impossible. they know that, but they would like to know where they are. so in that way the search is still ongoing. and again, the risks of this after shock than this earthquake that happened on monday. the
7:19 pm
fear, again, the possibility of the remaining building here, of coming, falling apart on. but that's why the government is asking people to remain outside and away from the buildings that are still standing in this area. so these people who is staying outside teresa, have they got enough help if they got enough supplies to survive in these freezing temperatures. well, many of the people we have spoken to were very critical about the response. they're saying that it was not fast enough that they didn't get the help that they needed in the 1st days after the earthquake struck. however, where i am right now, it's very rare to find some of those who are living in the house. they say that have been destroyed, they're already been relocated to other provinces to some tents that are located so far away from where we are. they're being given food and water, but it's still not enough. you know, there's a very cold evening. there's lots of people in need and the government have been
7:20 pm
thinking about the possibility of starting rebuilding that once one year plan to rebuild these areas that have been devastated to $100000.00 homes for those who have lost it all is going to be very, very challenging. and of course, this earthquake that happened on monday, the possibility of another one happening again. the aftershocks complicates the government's plans. okay. to raise it by bringing the latest that from definite and high province in southern talk. yeah, thanks very much teresa. when things shall break now, but still ahead on al jazeera, my residence of one small town in ohio, a skeptical that that at a safe ah, ah, now the what is parts of se, aisha at the moment appear to be in south. so we're talking really indonesia,
