the presence lensky, they're appealing. so the world to act preventively moving forward and to make an example of russia. oh, joining me in the studio as aaron tilton and in divorce. uh, we have emily, sherwin who's covering this and has been listening to that speech along side or so we go to 1st you emily, your impressions of blog news. zalinski is addressed to the world economic form. well, he basically said that the world now is at a turning point when it has been faced with these russian war crimes. and essentially he said that the incident in the international institutions that exist at the moment really aren't kind of good enough for that. they have to work on not only responding to challenges, but actually to preventing them and he kind of actually leveled quite a few accusations. i think at the international community assembled here in divorce saying that essentially what they're doing now, you know,

the unity that we're seeing from the west, you know, faced with this ukranian war isn't really enough and that they should have done more earlier. so that this is kind of too little too late. that essentially he pointed out, you know, back in 2014, this war already started. there should have been a harsher sanctions and he called for harsher sanctions as well. today he caught, called for a get once again for an oil embargo against russia for all the interactions with russian banks to be stopped for all trade with russia completely to be blocked. and he also talked a lot about rebuilding ukraine, which i think will be a, you know, an important focus going forward and, and something that as well that he really wants to bring business leaders who are assembled here on, on board with thought. a very interesting how he didn't just focus on the crisis in his country. that's happening right now, but he seemed very conscious of what's going on in the rest of the world. he was addressing world leaders. they are clearly representatives of dozens of countries

represented in davos, switzerland, uh, what do you make of his, of his moving beyond already the war in his country, him and thinking to the future and thinking to the rest of the world. it was very, a very broad sort of set of ideas he put forth there. i think zalinski, you know, we've seen this in the past when he, he's addressed of various parliaments across the world. he's very strategic in how he kind of tries to draw his audience. and so when he was speaking to say the congress in the us, he talked about the 911 attacks. he talked about this being a fight, you know, in ukraine for democracy on the whole in the u. k. he referenced with sin churchill war time speech is really to draw his audience and, and i think he's doing a similar thing here by not just really focusing on, you know, and knowing his focus to just look at ukraine and what's happening there. and what ukraine needs, but really broadening it in order to show that,

that the ukraine war really has ripple on effects on the entire economy. and that's, of course important for the country. but that's also important for, for other people from, you know, who come to diverse, a business leaders who are from totally different countries, totally different sides of the world. that kind of draws them in and shows them that what's happening in ukraine is relevant for them as well. aaron, we heard presence lensky. they're also emphasizing the need to make a lesson out of russia is that we're to serve as a deterrence to any other potential aggressors in the world. what, what we heard from sl ask is what we've heard from him. so often before he wants to see russia punished severely for what it's doing so that again will not encourage other countries to, to repeat what it, what it is done. do you see much of an appetite out there, aaron, for, for strengthening the sanctions, were continuing the sanctions and for implementing an all out energy embargo on

russia? well, i do think, especially in western europe, there is an appetite for increasing the sanctions. i mean, a lot of that pressure is coming from the major nations, like friends in germany, but also, you know, around the baltic republics, the countries that actually share borders with russia. there's a lot of nervousness. of course they're watching what's happening with ukraine and wondering could they be next? so of course, that's why we're seen president due to visiting ukraine and also calls from the baltic states and even nato, actually sweden and finland joining nato. there is, there is an appetite out there when it comes to the sanctions. specifically, i do think he makes a very valid point. we saw in just after this war, the invasion started, we saw the west attempting to cripple russia with a new level of sanctions. but after 7 years of sanctions, they were well prepared to deal with that. and you know, when russia illegally annex crim back in 2014 for if they had actually ramped up

to this level of sanctions back then it's really a question what that russian would have been continued with supporting the incursion in east and eastern ukraine, which is exactly what reasons he's point, that's exactly what he said. indeed, he called on the world to act preventively as opposed to acting rate to reacting to crisis as they come along. and he, he mentioned something called unity, $24.00, which he envisions a new platform for security and aid on a global scale that could act to prevent crises, both security crises and crises such as ammon would make that well, i mean, it is a bold suggestion. i was rather taking it back at some of the criticism that he leveled at the international community right at the beginning. basically saying that the current economic and security architecture that we have, you know, it's all based on the context of world war to preventing that skill of conflict again. but when it comes to the situation his country is facing, it has failed. i mean, this was the slowest telegraph invasion of east and ukraine that i think could

possibly imagine. i mean, we basically saw this coming with 190000 troops massed 4 weeks on the border. and yet the security and economic infrastructure that we have in force will were to europe was not able to prevent it. now this type of plan is a radical reimagining of that type of security infrastructure. and it's the question of bill actually be able to support it. but then again, he also then appealed to the whole idea of a peace dividend saying that piece is good for business, is speaking to the world economic leaders and seeing if we want to make sure that we can continue business as usual. but you can keep, keep making money, then you really need to make sure that you have the tools to prevent these type of conflicts. and given all the problems we're facing right now, it could be a very persuasive argument. he also prisoners, lansky was talking to those leaders and understanding that they have the purse strings that his country would like to move. and he was trying to convince them that it would be a good business opportunity to, to invest in ukraine when this war is over. aaron tilton,
