a time bomb. a fascinating moment suspected they w. washington bureau chief in his poll in as the resolution is non bonding. so what does this vote achieve? well, this was, this road was mainly really to indicate that put in russia this isolated on the global stage. but indeed, anthony has to say, the resolute resolution is not binding. so it does send a strong symbolic message, especially probably to those countries which used to stay on the side with russia that they might end up on the wrong side. but it is more of a reassurance that the really a vast majority of the world condemns putting swore and ukraine without any immediate consequences. or like more sanctions, or military actions at hardison about thought of symbolism. we want to ask the next question, can the you into anything effectively to stand in rushes, why to keep ukrainians safe?

well, no, i mean, not like in an immediate way, as i said they can't send 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 that put in stance totally isolated. and countries which used to be on his side, or rather, or choose the other way. know which countries, ines, which countries vote or, or lack of a vote for you, stands out from the $181.00 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 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 a weapons along my border of 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 word on the side with russia that also indicates that the wind is changing. and then that some countries, as i just said, might reconsider if put in still is the right bet they w. washington bureau chief in his perfect symmetry time french president
