moscow says the u. s. is guilty of unprecedented hysteria. american citizens have been urged to leave ukraine immediately. other countries, including germany, are following suit. experts say they're doing the responsible thing for is a very substantial below russian troops. the russians are in a position to launch an assault if they wanted to. what is not known and what cannot be known as precisely when that will happen. and that is why these evacuations are taking place. ukraine's president, florida me, zalinski urged his people to stay calm despite the alarm, you know, i have to speak with our people, like you, you know, like, like a resident as safe people. drew's. and the truth that we have different information . and now the best friend for an image that is danny, in our guns and all this information details only for banding doesn't help us

thousands rallied and killed to show their support for zalinski their message. we aren't going anywhere, lee, and i'm not afraid a to worry did it wouldn't stop. like in a week, it's a, it's already been going for 8 years. so nothing you for us away from the rally. residents told d w. they don't want any part in a war. yes, muted auction. i mean there should be peace. that should be the principal to go in the law. we are brothers. we shouldn't be fighting each other yet. right now. i'm telling you officially, neither i nor my friends are going to fight. yeah, only there is no way why he would stoicism in the face of dire warnings. another day passes without fighting in ukraine's capital. i spring in roger men and he is a expert on defense policy and a senior researcher at columbia university in new york. it's great to have you with

us on dw news now. is this a bad sign that western nations are calling on personnel and citizens to leave ukraine? given the magnitude of the russian build up, they're doing the responsible thing. as you have said in your program, there is a very substantial bill, up of russian troops. the russians are in a position to launch an assault if they want to, what is not known and what cannot be known as precisely when that will happen. that is why these evacuation taking place now biden and putin spoke, but there was kelly, no breakthrough. biden has said that he still prefers diplomacy. how do you think he should be navigating this to deescalate the crisis? hooton's main complaint has been that russia's demands have been ignored. the problem with those demands is one that there should be a permanent ban on ukraine entering nato, which nato is not prepared to give. and the other is that no for us forces should

be introduced into those countries, joined nato after $999.00. the question is whether in order to a war go, mister putin will reduces demand somewhat, and nato will shift toward meeting them. i can see some ways that to happen, but there is no evidence that's happening yet. now, yeah, russia's main demand is that ukraine never becomes a member of nato. is that ever going to be solvable? well, it is all the will in the following sense. i think mr. put in all to realize and certainly knows that there is no country in, in nato, champing at the bit, insisting that ukraine enter even the ukrainians know this. so one possible solution that a colleague of and i and i have suggested here in the us is some sort of moratorium on membership where the miss to put in will settle for something like that. as opposed to a formal written guarantee which you will not get is the unknown question. and

you've criticized america's foreign policy after the end of the cold war for excluding russia from europe, security architecture. what's approach, do you think the united states should be taking? well, the horses kind of out of the bar now, but at the end of the cold war, the united states faced choice of expanding nato eastward, which every single russian leader, it's not, as mister putin has said, would be viewed as an unfriendly act and would divide europe, as long as russia was weak, this policy could be continued. we are dealing today was substantially more powerful russia, it is in a position to push back and has pushback. none of this is to say that an attack on ukraine, any in any sense, be legitimate, but i'm not surprised to see something like this. having eventually happened, roger men and speaking to us from new york. thank you very much for your analysis.
