in december on a business like call that was meant to ratchet down tensions over ukraine. the u. s . has threatened severe economic sanctions if russia invades an advisor to russian president vladimir putin pushed back after the call. but i need to touch sanctions, would be a colossal mistake that would entail grave consequences. a lot of mistakes have been made over the past 30 years and we had better avoid more such mistakes in this situation. russia is already under sanctions for its 2014 annexation of the crimean peninsula. weeks afterwards, pro russian groups seized parts of the desk and the hans regions on ukraine's eastern frontier. near the russian border. the government launched a military operation and the long war began in earnest. meanwhile,

russian territory ship last year, the russian nation is being pushed out of those territory. so this is what's happening neutral when you, me talk sure. with the us and nato saying they won't intervene militarily. russia seems to hold most of the cards over its weaker neighbor, thousands of kilometers away. the talks in geneva began to china now where nearly 14000000 people in the city of changes are being tested for coven. 19 after 2 cases of the work on variance were detected. attention is near china's capital beijing, which is preparing to host the winter olympics. next month and with the major new your festive period, approaching china, the authorities have imposed strict measures to contain potential corona, virus outbreaks. police officers and protective gear. outside an apartment block in the port city of tianjin. health officials found to people infected with
