a war in what is seen as an escalate. tory development. and american diplomat has been expelled from russia. what more can you tell us about that? right, this is very important because ambassador gorman is the 2nd ranking u. s. department in russia. a really high position, obviously. so the u. s. believes that this is an unprovoked escalator reaction. despite prudence, a message or the message, he tries to put out the diplomatic doors. diplomatic doors are still wide open. so these kind of mixed messages coming from the kremlin are seen here in the us as another. prove that pooty and can't be trusted. that the nato alliance has to be ready for all event realities. washington bureau chief in his poll reporting in as thank you. and the un security council has been meeting to address the long running
