boost ukraine's military capabilities. the major questions, what will the support for ukraine look like and will there be any movement towards ukraine's path towards membership in nato. u.s. officials have said ukraine will not be granted membership during this summit. the concern is if ukraine becomes a nato member now, that means they would be expected to fight in the war alongside ukraine. >> translator: and i believe that nato needs us just as we need nato. and i believe that this is absolutely fair. i am confident that after the war ukraine will be in nato. >> short of that ultimate goal for ukraine, the united states and other nato members are announcing huge military aid packages for ukraine at this summit. france, germany, norway among them and what's been dubbed

nato-light. g7 leaders laying out long-term security commitments to ukraine. >> all of this comes amid more aggression against russia. russia launched drone attacks on kyiv overnight but they were repelled by ukrainian air defense. ukraine's military shot down several iran-made attack drones in central ukraine. our reporters and correspondents are standing by to bring us the latest from across the globe. we'll begin with arlette saenz, she's in lithuania. can you bring us up to speed on this meeting that will happen shortly between biden and zelenskyy? >> yes. we do expect president biden and ukrainian president zelenskyy to sit down for the first time for a private meeting here at the nato summit in just a short while. right before that, we're anticipating the president and other g7 leaders will be appearing at an event to roll out what they've described as the joint declaration regarding

ukraine. officials say that this will include the u.s. and other g7 countries laying out long-term commitments they are making towards ukraine, security assurances they're offering them to help them defend themselves in the current war but also defend themselves and deter future aggression that they could face from russia. this all comes as there had been so much tension heading into this summit around the prospect of nato seeking -- of ukraine seeking membership into nato. the communique that was released by the nato alliance yesterday fell short of the timeline that zelenskyy did want to see put in place at this summit. there were some issues in that communique that did remove at least one of the barriers to -- for ukraine to join the nato alliance down the road. nato secretary-general stoltenberg said they would invite ukraine into the alliance

once strides were made. president biden said ukraine was not ready to join at this time in part because of the war with russia. additionally, the white house has been saying that they want to see these reforms, democratic and on the security side made by ukraine before they can be accepted into the alliance. so far, they have not detailed what those reforms would be, but that would be part of a pathway for ukraine to join into nato. so much of this summit has been about trying to send a message to russia, not just with support for ukraine, but also when you think of the fact that they were able to expand -- expected to expand the alliance with turkey blocking their opposition to sweden joining. with these meetings coming up today as the president and zelenskyy are expected to sit face-to-face, officials say they do anticipate some disagreements might come up. that the president will be

straightforward in explaining why he felt this way and took this position and also listen to what zelenskyy has to say. what they're trying to focus on today is putting that detention behind them and focusing on what they can offer ukraine in the here and now and long-term down the road. >> thank you very much for that. let's bring in nic robertson for more on this. now it's about what zelenskyy and ukraine will be getting, not what will be kept from them in terms of this point of the summit. these security commitments, the ones that have been announced and the ones that are about to be announced, these are huge, nick. >> yeah, they are. zelenskyy came in today with a more moderate tone saying three things. one, the immediate military aid packages, he had a series of bilateral meetings with a bunch of prime ministers and the german chancellor, kind of got all that. that was the military aid he

needs right now. got it. the meeting that he will have just been involved in, this is the one where he hoped to get what he said get everyone on the same page about ukraine's membership, about nato, different tone to yesterday. he's been very, very specific about what he wants in this g7 communique. the g7 communique will be saying the g7 nations will give these long-term security commitments that, okay, jump below those big headlines, what does it mean? actually, the nations do their ownby lateral agreements with ukraine. the language and the overarching statement that zelenskyy has said twice today that's so important for him, knowing he didn't get the language he wanted in the nato communique, but in the g7 statement he's hoping the language says these security guarantees we give you are valid on your way to becoming a member of nato.

he said that language is super important to him. that's what he'll be listening for. you got the sense from him when he was speaking at a press conference earlier today that perhaps that language is there from the g7, smaller group than nato, seven versus 31, easier to get agreement and alignment perhaps, that's what he will feel good about taking home plus the short-term military aid and the long-term military aid, they're important, but that language right now seems very important to him. >> nic, stick with us. we're all standing by to see the first big meeting of leaders together and then the sit-down, the one-on-one between zelenskyy and president biden. joining us now is kim dozier and general mark kimmet. something just came down to us from the head of the office of

ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy. zelenskyy called the absence of a timeline for joining nato unprecedented and absurd. this after biden said he agreed to propose language for ukraine's future ability to join nato. can i ask you what you think about zelenskyy's tactics as he's been blunt and forceful. has that served him well? >> well, all along he's done this reach for the stars and you won't end up with a handful of mud kind of strategy. it seems to have worked time and again. remember when he was pushing for f-16s, a year later, now it looks like he's getting them from multiple countries. once again, he's come into this summit only messaging back home but also messaging all of the populations that biden, britain, european nations answer to, preparing them and asking them push your leaders, we need this

now. we're under fire. and while he doesn't look like he's going to get that, look, we've already got the concession of nato will not make them go through the bureaucratic membership plan, which is a series of economic and other hoops that a country would have to jump through. and they're also talking about giving ukraine israel-style status, which is a huge security guarantee that is very different from, hey, remember going into this war, before the invasion started, president biden was saying that ukraine wasn't part of the united states' security strategic pantheon. now it's become a linchpin. >> brigadier general, i want to ask whether or not the situation happening in ukraine with the offensive, that is not going as swiftly as people had hoped. do you think the fact that that's the case in ukraine will

push nato to go further into what is given as we expect this major announcement this morning? >> no, not really. to become a nato member, there is a logical and rational membership plan that all go through. you don't bring in ukraine simply for security guarantees, but to get into nato you also have to meet certain economic and resourcing, some pre-market ideals. the idea that you can't just join nato on the fly. you have to meet criteria to join the club. they're eliminating these criteria, which many countries -- most countries have taken years to meet to go straight to the heart of the issue, which is to bring in a security guarantee eventually for ukraine, which is not simply

a guarantee, but an obligation on the part of other countries to defend the land of ukraine if attacked in the future. to me, it seems to be a logical responsibility and it seems to be a responsible way to bring ukraine into nato. >> general, what do you think about -- we have heard over the year plus of the ukraine war so many security commitments, you know, progressively more and more heading over. just in the last two days, how do you put into perspective the significant number of commitments we've heard from individual nations and then this long-term commitment as we hear from the g7 leaders, france, germany, norway, and what they're agreeing to send over now. what does that show? >> what i think it shows is that ukraine is continuing to receive security assistance, but that's not what we're talking about with nato membership. that's an obligation, that's a

treaty between countries to defend ukraine when necessary. i don't necessarily see the latest round of commitments as you would call them, the equipment that we'll be sending over is more support for ukraine to continue this end this war as quickly as possible. those are two separate things, nato membership and provisional weapons to fight the war are two separate things. >> the question coming from out of this meeting and out of this gathering is what then comes next? what do you see as the conditions that could be needed, that would get the united states and nato allies to a place of offering the invitation for ukraine to join as a member. what are they looking for? >> look, article 5 means the moment ukraine is a member everyone else would be at war with russia. that's why it's a nonstarter. even if they offered ukraine a

path to membership, you saw how hard it was for sweden to go because of turkish and hungarian objections. i can only imagine how many nato members might balk at having ukraine join now when it would obligate them to send their troops against russia. what this agreement -- there's a side agreement being worked on between the g7 and the u.s. and the uk where they give multiple-year financial guarantees. we'll keep giving you this kind of military aid. what that does, one thing that ukraine faced is shell hunger, not enough ammunition, artillery for the battlefield to keep this war up. one of the problems is defense companies don't want to invest in very expensive factory production lines that can take a couple of years to build if this war will be won and done. now that they have this financial commitment coming up that there will be multiple-year

buys from these countries with big pockets to keep supplying ukraine, that means the defense industry can ramp up. it's good for ukraine but also bad for russia because that means capabilities for all nato members. >> thank you for being here. we're standing by for a lot of live events that we'll be bringing to you. first and foremost, the now delayed meeting of g7 leaders. president biden will be there. then the one-on-one, the sit-down between president zelenskyy and president biden, all of that we expect to be happening during our show. we'll bring you these key moments live. china-based hackers breached email accounts at roughly two dozen organizations including government facilities. what they're doing now to contain the fallout. and flood ravaged communities in vermont. the latest on the extreme weather threatening homes and

raving about the news. yes. 3% on an annual basis, as you pointed out, the lowest figure in quite some time. compare that to 9.1% last year, which was the peak of inflation. part of this is that, the base is very high. so we're seeing a lower figure now. on a month-over-month basis, the index rose 0.2%. we got help over the month from declines in airline fares. those prices went down. used cars, those prices went down. household furniture also going down. if you look at the chart here, this is the annual increase over the last few years. now we're at 3%. 9.1% a year ago was the peak. what a difference a year makes. let's look at some categories specifically. gas prices have really just come down quite a bit from last year, down 25% -26.5% to be clear. food prices still much higher. you're going to the grocery store and yofeel i don't know, things feel more expensive than

they have been, you're right. still higher by 5.7%. what does this mean for the fed? fed officials have indicated even as recently as this week they still continue to raise rates, they see more work that needs to be done. the reason why is, remember, their target is 2%. even though 3% sounds better than 9%, their target is 2%. it could take some time to get from this level to where we want to get. when the fed meets in two weeks, even despite a report like this that shows cooling, 12th consecutive month of annual inflation, we expect them to raise rates. >> still offering up some important and tough questions and decisions for the fed. it's great to see you. we're learning new details about an apparent spying campaign by hackers based in china. the white house and microsoft say that email accounts at roughly 25 organizations including a number of u.s. government agencies were

targeted in attempts to gain access to sensitive information. the full scope of what happened is under investigation right now. you have some new reporting for us, sean. where was this first detected? >> according to our reporting and our sources, the state department was the patient zero, if you will, the federal agency that first detected these alleged chinese hackers who were combing some of the email networks for information. the state department, according to a source, alerted microsoft. that's how this hunt began for the hackers. this kind of espionage is quite common. it's very narrow and targeted. they're looking for senior officials, we believe, who might have information that would be of interest to beijing. of course, there's a lot of possibilities in terms of what the state department is tracking that may be of interest to the

chinese government. the biden administration, the fbi, numerous agencies have been saying for months that the chinese government is the most advanced cyberthreat in terms of nation state cyberthreats to the u.s. government. this is another reminder of that. beijing routinely denies conducting cyberattacks and they accuse the u.s. government of doing their own cyber espionage. this is another challenge for an administration that came to power with the solar winds hack from russian hackers and another chinese hack involving microsoft that people have already forgotten about that occurred in the early months of the biden administration. this is espionage, this is not violating any norms that we know of. this is something that governments do. but obviously the biden

administration doesn't want these hackers in government systems, even unclassified systems, because it could reveal sensitive information that would help the chinese government. always a case of cat and mouse because all nations do spy. what does this say about the broader challenge of chinese cyber threats facing the biden administration or any administration in the future? >> right. the fbi has said that the chinese government has a bigger hacking program than all other governments combined. based on my reporting and my sources in private industry and government, i would concur with that. it's vast. it's very capable. it's ever-present. just in terms of numbers, the fbi, if they had agents focusing on this issue 24/7, they said focused on chinese hacking alone, they would be outnumbered many times in terms of

personnel. it's a very tricky challenge in terms of resources. >> all right. sean lyngaas, thank you very much. next hour on capitol hill, chris christopher wray is set to face some of the director's harsh critics. this is his first appearance before the judiciary panel since republicans won control of the house. the committee's republicans are laser focused and critical of the fbi over what they perceive as a political bias inside the agency. sara murray is watching this for us. she'll be tracking it for us this morning. sa sara, what will happen today? >> i think republicans want to cover a number of hot-button issues. among them would be special counsel john durham's investigation into the origins of the donald trump russia probe and that a full-blown

investigation should have never been opened. republicans on this panel have accused the fbi of targeting parents. they say the fbi targeted catholics even though a warning that went out was quickly retracted. we already hoard from jerry nadler who has been critical with how republicans will approach this hearing. he said this will be performance art and house republicans are basically attacking the fbi for treating donald trump like another ordinary citizen. i think chris wray will try to remind americans and everyone at home that the fbi does more than these politically sensitive investigations. >> that's right. so the committee, to state the obvious, the committee has oversight responsibilities of the fbi which also oversight over the fbi -- funding for the fbi and the budget. what more are you learning about what chairman jordan is

threatening over this? >> he's proposed some steep cuts to the fbi's budget. he's talking about eliminating funding for anything other than the absolutely essential services. he said there shouldn't be funding for a new fbi headquarters. what jim jordan wants, jim jordan doesn't necessarily get, but it's a threat hanging over the fbi. the fbi put out a statement responding to this talking about this saying the president's mission equips the fbi to protect from evolving threats. so, i think what you can expect is not a particularly friendly hearing today, but we'll see how it shapes up. >> also an opportunity for christopher wray to speak up for the many members of the fbi, defend the agency and speak to the threats they are covering across the country. great to see you. that hearing begins next hour.

we are closely watching, we're expecting to hear from joe biden, you see him standing on the stage with zelenskyy. he is about to speak at the end of this. this nato summit is extremely important and it is about to end and this is the major announcement we're supposed to be hearing. all right. let's listen in to the president of the united states. >> you know, i think there are very few people in europe or in continental united states and north american continent that thought this man would stand up and come to the aid and assistance of ukraine. he increased his military budget, he stepped up japan because he understood when any part of the world has 185,000

people, soldiers crossing a border stealing sovereignty from another nation, that it affects the whole world. i want to thank you again publicly. we just concluded the first meeting of nato/ukraine counsel. all the allies agree ukraine's future lies in nato. that's not a surprised to any of us, i don't think. i hope it's not a surprise to you, mr. president. allies agreed to lift the requirements for membership action plan for ukraine and to create a path to nato membership while ukraine continues to make progress on necessary reforms. we're not waiting for that process to be finished to make the long-term commitments that we're making to ukraine's security. mr. zelenskyy and i talked about the kind of guarantees we could

make in the meantime when i was in ukraine and when we met in other places. today, the long-term commitments we're making are backed up by the notion that in the meantime we'll provide security to ukraine for its needs and against any aggression that may occur. today, the members of the g7 are launching a joint declaration of support for ukraine to make it clear that our support will last long into the future. this starts a process by which each of our nations and any other nation will negotiate long-term bilateral security commitments with and to ukraine. we'll help ukraine build a strong, capable defense across land, air and sea, from which we'll force -- it will be a force of stability in the region and deter against any and all threats. i want to thank my fellow g7

leaders and president zelenskyy for their work to make this happen. i think it's a powerful statement, a powerful statement to our commitment of ukraine as it defends its freedom today and as it builds its future. we'll be there as long as it takes. again, i thank all of my colleagues for their support on this. >> thank you very much, mr. president, president biden. prime minister, chancellor scholz, prime minister sunak, prime minister macron, president tru trudeau, it's a great honor to be here. the outcome of the summit was much-needed and meaningful

success for ukraine. i'm grateful to all leaders in the conference for their practical and unprecedented support considering the case of support for ukraine. today there are security guarantees for ukraine on the way to nato, an important package of security guarantees. today we are coordinating with g7 countries, the framework for security guarantees that shall be further extended through arrangements with our key partners. bilateral and multilateral delegation. the ukrainian delegation is bringing home a significant victory for ukraine, for our country, for our people, for our children. it opens for us absolutely new security opportunities and i thank everyone who made it possible. thank you, dear colleagues.

thank you, thank lithuania and jan stoltenberg. >> this concludes the speaking program. please remain seated for the family photo. >> we'll see the family photo now, which is always one of our favorite parts of any summit. you hear the brief remarks and the strong statement of support from the g7 leaders supporting ukraine and its path, eventual path to nato. >> we're also hearing from them this declaration of long-term commitment. that's something that ukraine has worried about, something that nato has worried about. so it's interesting to see that said over and over and over again because they don't yet have a fast path to nato membership. let's bring in lots of our folks to discuss with us. arlette saenz, nic robertson and kim dozier all here with us.

i want to start with you, arlette, president biden made clear that this joint declaration is about a long lasting future of security for ukraine that the u.s. and other nato allies will be involved in. tell us about the significance of this, even though they're not getting nato membership at this particular summit. >> yeah. really what president biden and the leaders are trying to do is put behind some of the tension that arose coming into the summit about the fact that ukraine would not be offered a concrete timeline into nato. instead, they're trying to show what they can offer ukraine in the here and now and also long-term down the road. this declaration announced today by the president and g7 leaders will jump start talks between each of the countries to have bilateral long-term security commitments. president biden saying the support will last long into the future. what officials stress is they want to ensure ukraine not just

has the ability to defend themselves now but can also deter and defend themselves against other future aggression. so much of this is trying to send a message directly to russia. that's what this entire summit has been for president biden as he tries to show the strength in unity of nato, especially as we learned that sweden could join the alliance. what the president has repeatedly tried to point to, the u.s. is one of the strongest backers of ukraine as far as sending military aid to the country and now they'll try to extend the long-term security commitments to them into the future. in just a short while we'll see president biden and zelenskyy sit down one-on-one face-to-face for a private meeting. we suspect reporters will be allowed into a portion of that as another show of unity against russia as vladimir putin continues to wage this war against ukraine and officials at the summit have been arguing the

shows of strength, unity and support for ukraine and the alliance show putin's war is backfiring against the very thing he hoped against. >> as you were talking, we were watching live the family photo of the g7 leaders with ukrainian president zelenskyy. nic, what does that photo and this moment represent? >> i think what we just witnessed is president zelenskyy being the consummate diplomat for ukraine. he may not have got what he wanted, but he took it well. the version we had yesterday was the worrying diplomat, coming in, charging, demanding something -- giving a timeline, absurd that he didn't get it. there he was standing on the stage with the leaders of the g7 nations and a couple of eu presidents there as well and he called them all out by name. thanked them all by name. this is him being a diplomat.

the piece of diplomacy that wrapped it up there. this is what it's signaling back home and signaling that he feels he got as far as he could go. he said we can bring back home a significant security he's telling his people and he's saying he's got as good as he can get. the security guarantees that will be negotiated, the long-term guarantees and partnerships that will begin to be negotiated, this is good. this is what he wanted. he didn't get 100% of what he wanted, but he's got enough to take home. he knows he's pushed it as far as he can go this time. we've all seen zelenskyy before. he will keep this up about trying to get nato membership, thanking everyone for everything they've done, thanking everyone for taking out one of the steps to membership, pointing out they've been doing a lot already together, that helps the situation and shows that ukraine

is on the right path to become a european union member as well as a nato member. yes. this was the diplomat version of zelenskyy that we just witnessed. >> thanks, nic robertson. let's go to kim dozier. i want to ask you about nato itself and where it's at right now. back when donald trump was president, there was no secret that he was thinking about pulling the u.s. out of nato and weakening the alliance. how does happened in this particular summit strengthen nato. you have one more country being allowed in, does this put a lot of pressure on vladimir putin? >> sweden is officially in. hungary's parliament has to ratify that first as well as turkey. what it does is send a powerful message to moscow that combined

with these new security guarantees towards ukraine, that this is a marathon for nato, not a sprint. if you thought, vladimir putin, that you could wait us out and use the mass of your population, four times the size of ukraine to grind them down, we're going to be here the whole time keeping them supplied and we're also going to be -- we're going to be doing a -- we'll keep sanctioning you, putting you under economic duress. the combination is nato's stronger, bringing sweden and finland in, they both have pretty advanced defense industries. that strengthens nato militarily. so overall, this is a win-win for nato and lose-lose for moscow, and one last thing, biden aligned himself in this

way with ukraine, we'll make it really hard if there is a change in u.s. presidents come the next election for any future president to back away from this support. >> kim, thank you very much for being here. we have more to come. we're all standing by. we have another big moment we'll be bringing to you live, when president biden and president zelenskyy sit down for their one-on-one meeting at the tail end of this nato summit. headlines coming out, president zelenskyy saying they got very practical and unprecedented support. president biden saying and promising they'll be there as long as it takes in support of ukraine. we have much more ahead. their meats fresh. that's why subway's proffered by this champ. and this future champ. and if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it too. he's cocky for a nineteen y year old. i've been telling everyone.

rescue teams are deployed across vermont as people in the state are up against days of historic catastrophic flooding. with more rain in the forecast tomorrow it's an all-out sprint to get to those in need. two days of heavy rain sent rain spilling over riverbanks across the northeast. so many homes and businesses damaged by the flooding and even boil water orders have been needed to be put in place to protect residents. miguel marquez is in montpelier, vermont. what are you seeing and hearing there this morning? >> it is the long, hard slog now.

the emergency side of this thing is over. the rivers have pretty much gone back into their banks and are starting to come down. even the reservoirs are coming down as well. that's the good news. the sun is out. they expect more rain but they don't think it will be enough to recharge all of the rivers and the reservoirs, so they think they'll be able to take it. this is what they're dealing with now. it's the heartache of everything they have lost. this is a beloved bookstore in montpelier. they're throwing out everything. this is the water line. everything below that they're getting rid of and trying to dry out the store so the rest of the books above that, they can keep, they can sell at some point. beyond that, i mean, look at the mud here. the mud is unbelievable everywhere. i'll hold on to this because it's slick. this is what they're dealing with, very thick, silty mud that they're doing an amazing job of getting rid of right now. they have street washers from burlington and other areas that are here in the capital that

have been going up and down the streets here trying to get rid of that mud. you can see down here they're pressure washing the sidewalks to get rid of it. it's very, very slippery in here. even residents walking down here are slipping and sliding as they walk. they were able to make some emergency rescues overnight. for the most part, it's people who have been stuck, they haven't been able to get to, they're now able to get to and check on everybody. incredibly, thankfully, so far not a single person has died in all of these floods. back to you. >> which is just remarkable and amazing when you see some of the images we're seeing from yesterday, we're running it beside you, seeing how washed out down town was and how threatened those bridges and walkways were that you were standing on yesterday. that's the good news in this. a tough go ahead for all across vermont. thank you very much, miguel. here's the problem, the rain is coming back potentially tomorrow. joining us now is jennifer

morrisson from the vermont department of public safety. the rain has stopped. we've seen these incredible pictures from the capital there in montpelier. can you tell us what you'r biggest concern is this morning? >> yes, ma'am, i can. thank you for having us here. montpelier and the capital region have probably seen the worst of it, however we're actively still rescuing people in the county. overnight we had 32 people, numerous animals that we rescued with our swift water assets. that brings the total number of rescues to over 200 in the state from this disaster. our swift water rescue teams also facilitated about 100 evacuations. we're still in a crisis in the county. that being said, there are parts of the state, the capital region, andover, ludlow, weston and surrounding communities that

were so brutally hit early in the disaster are starting to turn the corner to impact assessments. our biggest fear, as you asked, is the weather, the impending weather and if we will reach flood stage again. i'm just here to say this disaster is not over in the state of vermont. we still have many rivers that are in moderate to major flood stage. and we're not out of the woods yet. >> you know, when you talk about that, team are trying to start cleaning up now. we've seen some of the streets with mud all across them. you have this new rain event. how long do you think that cleanup will go? >> oh, well, let me say this, when we experienced so much damage from hurricane irene back in 2011, it took 12 plus years to close that event out. we just did the last closeout of that event four months ago. we have easily -- i think the

governor referred to it as irene 4.0, because we anticipate at least quadrupling the amount of damage that we saw in irene. this is going to be a years if not a decade-long recovery for the state of vermont. the irony is some communities suffered no significant damage at all. others have been absolutely catastrophically damaged. >> that is incredible. i just want to repeat that. you said it took 12 years after hurricane irene hit vermont. now this is an even worse amount of flooding that you're seeing now from this storm. i know that vermont got the equivalent of, like, two months of rain over just a two-day period, causing those flash floods. can you give us a sense about the rescues happening now? what is going on? is it that they're going door to door trying to pull people out of houses? give us a sense of what those look like. >> the current rescues under way

are related to people who have been cut off and are trapped in their homes with rising water from the river. we anticipate that this will taper off during the course of the day and that the flooding is going to recede. there's no indication that the worst of it is, you know, not going to be behind us. yes. these are swift water rescue assets. the teams that are up there right now are both from vermont and also a contingent from north carolina. it is a unit that hales from the asheville area that works in the mountains in north carolina frequently. they relayed to our team leader that this is the worst flooding damage they've seen. >> i'm so sorry the community is going through this. i hope that the work can continue as this new rain event is on its way. thank you very much, jennifer morrison for joining us this

icbm. it has the potential to possibly reach u.s. soil. of course, this is getting a lot of condemnation from south korea and of course from japan including the chief cabinet secretary. he made some remarks about what japan may do, its view toward all of that just a few hours ago. let's take a listen to that. >> translator: such ballistic missile launches violate relevant united nations security council resolutions and are a security issue for our citizens. we have launched a broad protest against north korea through our embassy in beijing. >> let's put some context to all of it because it is very important. let's first talk about the timing. this is happening as nato holds meetings in lithuania. what's grabbing the headlines there? volodymyr zelenskyy, belarus, russia, ukraine, not north korea and north korea to try to make
