or like more sanctions or military actions at hardison about thought of symbolism, we will ask the next question. can the un do anything effectively to stand in russia's way to keep ukrainians safe? well, no, i mean, not like in an immediate way, as i said, they are a consent in military or they can't ascend and weapons or agree on more sanctions. but what they can do, they could increase the pressure on a vladimir put in. and that also does send the message into russia itself. it's more and more clear than put in stance totally isolated. and countries which used to be on his side, or rather, or choose the other way now. which countries enos, which countries vote or, or lack of a vote for you stands out from the 181 that were cast, which tells

a story well, on the one hand, it was really china. they weren't not, they were not loading against or put in, but they are, were abstaining. so many people expected them to be keep standing on the side of put in. so that proves again that the relationship between china and russia is much more complicated than many expected, especially after the meeting between she shipping and volume you're putting at the beginning of the winter olympics. and then there is another very interesting country, and this is cuba. anthony, you might recall that, that a putin said a view of the united states or nato, implement or weapons along my border, or my russian border than i just put on some missiles on the, on the cuban island, which is really close to the u. s. border but cuba did not wood on the side with russia that also indicates that the wind is changing. and then
