from white. and he said democracies will stand in defense of freedom. and a dictator can never erase people's will for freedom of i'd also insisted the west is not planning to attack russia refuting, prudence claims bear with me and we have a team analysis on this speech from president joe biden in poland in the studio with me here is our washington correspondent soon nissan misconduct. i want to see if we can get across also to our correspondent who was actually in warsaw. reporting from that speech baron to regards great to see you there. what's the mood like after the speech? how do you think it's gone down with people in poland? well, the people that listen to them are president biden here in warsaw in the royal gardens and beyond the gardens. several thousands actually gathered. you didn't need a ticket, you could just come by and listen. they are, of course ro,

very satisfied about the reassurances, their god that the united states and nato will stay with poland and ukraine in this fight against russia. and we also heard a direct address to the people of russia. the biden said that putting started this war and nobody has the intention or the eagerness to attack russia, there was a clear answer to, to the speech we heard from vladimir putin to day in moscow. so the poets are happy of cause, and they are also happy that a bite was here for the 2nd time, only in 11 months. so they believe his the promise that the bond between the united states and poland is iron clad. as right. we actually got that promise of unity and continued support. we might have expected, assuming what stood out to you in biden's beach. i think was interesting that he drew this contrast between when he was standing there a little less than a year ago in this very same spot, delivering

a message to where he stands now and how things look. now he said a year ago we were bracing for chief to fall, were standing here today and he was standing strong, proud and tall said i was just there and i can tell you democracy, a standing call. that was a 3rd that run threat ran rather throughout a speech to say, a year ago, vladimir putin was wondering or was guessing that we would not stand together to support ukraine to defend ukraine. and we have a democratic countries, the western nato and its allies have stood together and we have proved lighting were put in wrong. i thought it was interesting. he was saying, as well, you know, he said the appetite of autocrats can't be appeased. they have to be opposed. that was a message to those who ask, how much longer can this go on? how much more support does ukraine need and, and how do we, how do we continue relations with russia as well? his message there was very clear, we have to continue to show strength in the face of russia to stand up to russia with the same message that we have until now, which is again, military support and aid to ukraine and to allow the ukrainians to move forward. as

they see fit, he also said what i thought it was interesting is, you know, when russia you invaded a wasn't just ukraine, but the whole world and europe is being tested. america is being tested. that was an important message from, from president biden. because again, as questions are being asked your, when could there be an end to this conflict? will we see some sort of peace negotiations? what to support back home and the youth us look like he his, his message to that was we are being asked fundamental questions about our commitment to democracy in the global stage. and that is something we have to answer. and i just want to pick up on something that baron said that wasn't an interesting message from president by. he just, i think, walked off the stage after, as he said, a meeting with some children there. at he did respond directly to what putin said to day when he said we don't seem to attack russia as president putin indicated in that speech that he delivered. of course, the national security advisor jake sullivan said this is not going to be a rebuttal to vladimir putin speech, but he did really hit out at putin saying this was a miscalculation from the rest russian president to believe that he could roll over

achieve that the u. s. in its allies would not stand behind keith and we are standing, you're even stronger when you're later. that's are and see me. he actually even said at one point that he was speaking to the people of russia. i mean, what you think the messaging was, was like there and you think it was truly for a russian audience? or was part of this also directed toward a domestic audience in the united states? well, i think it was an important message for president biden to deliver to russia in one sense to the russian people, as he said, and reaching out to them. because of course, you know, russia has now been isolated in the global community through sanctions, and he mentioned, of course, that they would be preparing more sanctions with their allies. so the message of the russian people was to isolate vladimir putin as the soul of responsible figure for starting this war for, to continuing this war. and also, he's the one as president, binds that, who has a responsibility and ability to end this war to more if you wanted to. now, as for president biden's, excuse me, president putin's miscalculations as,

as biden said, he pointed to the fact that, you know, russia has really struggled on the battlefield. and these are also messages that he is sending to those russians who can hear him. of course, to say this is not a war that's going well for russia. i would add that it is a message to the american people as well. absolutely. as i mentioned before, the speech, there is more domestic pressure, particularly in congress, particularly among republicans for president biden. to make clear why the u. s. should continue sending money and aid and he may actually want to jump in and see if we can play a clip from a bite and speech that i think goes to one of the points that you're saying. let's see if we can pull that up for anyone who must at present prudence can run. it was something today did you did think was possible a year ago? the democracy of the world have grown stronger? not weaker, but there are a threat to the world grow weaker, not stronger. because a lot of great people on certainly that knowing what you're scared for is most

important. and knowing who stands with you makes all the difference. i want to come back to barons because we know biden there earlier said that poland was a crucial partner. we saw earlier that on his counterpart on j, duda was speaking to introduce bite and the 2 also met earlier in the day. how do you think he's going to proceed this visit? so the poets actually think earth that they are now the preferred ally of the united states. the most important one because of the, the center of gravity has shifted with the, the support from maybe france or germany to the east, to poland. all the transport, all de la jessica support. all that and supplies go through poland and the united states have now a fighting brigade here, 10000 people on the ground. so for poland it's very clear that they are now the most important ones. but they might also be

a little bit disappointed because abide did not give concrete numbers or did not pledge to put even more troops. or you had said troops on the ground here, or maybe we'll see that tomorrow when he meets their so called booker as 9 and 9 countries that are under the east flank of, of nato, from the board to romania. and they all expect more engagement from the united states in concrete terms. not only nice birds, but action. well, thank you so much for your reporting. that is bound to me that for us in where science him, he's on his kind of with me here in the studio or one thanks t about we're not reporting an analysis. gonna turn out to some other news. and as we've mentioned earlier, russia is suspending its participation in its last major nuclear disarmament treaty with united states president vladimir putin announced the decision during an address to the nation who knew start treaty commits russia, and the u. s. to limiting their stockpile of nuclear warheads. they came into force

in 2011 and it was due to expire in 2020 sex. how potent also warned washington, that if the u. s. presumes nuclear tests, russia will do the same. and his audience of all makers applauded the announcement . ah, after you, i repeat what russia is, you don't withdrawing from the treaty. no, no, but even ladies suspending his participation. but before returning to the discussion of this issue, we should understand for ourselves what such countries of the north atlantic treaty alliance like france and great britain claim. jessica, from that high, we will take into account their strategic arsenals. that is the alliances combined strike potential, which through our company would barely put them so alliance. i spoke earlier to our chorus on it, you're a rash shatteau in riga,

and he told me what russia suspension of the new start treaty means. well, the purpose of this treated clear is to reduce nuclear weapons. it's the only remaining element of the nuclear arms control treaties system between the united states and russia. and the 2 countries hold together about 90 percent of the world's nuclear warheads, which is pretty much so big should be pretty worried about this suspension or the treaty provides for mutual inspections on nuclear facilities on each other's territory. so that each side can make sure that the other side doesn't deploy more nuclear well warheads than agreed. a month ago, the united states already used to rush of refusing to assist you as those inspections mosque or threatened to withdraw from the treat in 2026 completely. and now this suspension comes put in explained to step by saying that united states, as united states would be developing allegedly new types of nuclear weapons and process should be ready to conduct nuclear tests. now, tell us your

a more broadly about putin's speech. this is his annual state of the union, but obviously this year taking place under exceptional circumstances over some of the other major themes. well, the more arms west and ukraine is supplied by the rest. he sat to defer the russian push those arms back away from the russian border. that was probably an indication that russia might try to annex more ukrainian territories in his speech. and any case in any case that this was a warning to ukraine and warning to the west, 1st of all, to the united states. by the way, just in our after put in speech, the russian foreign ministry is among you as, as monte. what, yes matter to moscow and expressed a diplomatic protest because of the growing involvement of the united states, still it is on the site of ukraine. if the sate in a statement, basically it's the old russian way to reverse all accusations made against russia, and to accused the rest of the same of the same. and put and speech was an attempt

to convince the goal to that, that the danger doesn't come from russia, but from the west for russia. now, he is speaking to a domestic audience there. what kind of support does he have almost a year since russia's invasion of ukraine? wallach many or maybe it, most people in russia have long since given up the attitude to protest. most say it doesn't matter what's happening in ukraine was going on there unless the mobilization i faxed to them personally let it be put in north of that. and that's why the 2nd part of his speech or the, the larger one was about as a social policy of his government. also, he said that that presidential elections will be held in 2024. so next year in accordance with the russian laws. so is he speech today? earlier, as the russian president clearly wanted to be seen, not only as the president of war, but rather as the president of bees, which is logical if you keep in mind he's ambitious to run for the president's next year, one more time. thank you so much for that update that des uria were shadow enrica
