ah, the president of russia in the united states have not spoken one on one in more than a year. certainly not since russia started it's invasion of ukraine last february. today, russian president vladimir putin delivered his state of the nation address and blamed the decadent and aggressive west for starting the war in ukraine award that he still refers to as a special military operation. i'm just hours later you as president biden spoke from a podium in poland as leader of the free world and guardian of the global order that biden says putin turned his back ought the moment he ordered his forces to roll into ukraine. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day ah
1:03 am
resident approved ordered his tax, the roll in the grade. he thought we would roll over. he was wrong, it was legit, but they want to end us once and for all 3. if you turn a local companies into a global confrontation, blocked by liver, but i give a stay in. the west was not plotting to attack russia. as prudent said today in the book, they don't want to repeat it that they started the war and we, we have used and we are using force to stopping. the ukraine will never be a victory for russian. never. also coming up the berlin film festival is honoring hollywood director steven spielberg, whose name is synonymous with big budget movies and box office hits. but what's unique about steven spielberg life's work it's being recognized here in berlin is the universality of his storytelling. and that is what resonates with here is
1:04 am
across cultures and generations. ah, what our viewers watching on p b s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the split screen messaging of to presidents. today, russian president vladimir putin and u. s. president joe biden both delivered speeches focusing on the war in ukraine. their speeches came just a few hours apart. the narratives ahead of the wars one year mark, while they were worlds apart in his annual state of the nation address, putin lashed out at ukraine and the west with ally, accusing them of starting the war. he also attempted to realign russia, placing it alongside china and the developing world in a 21st century struggle to push back what he calls a decadent and aggressive west hours later and hundreds of miles away in warsaw. poland, you as president joe biden pointed the finger at putin accusing him of war atrocities
1:05 am
in ukraine. he also called on the world to stand up 2 other tyrants. we have this report. 2 presidents dar of the 2 speeches blocking a portion of 2 very different visions of the war in ukraine rock up steel. as the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion approaches, president vladimir putin showed little sign of backing down. putin's lengthy address reiterated a long list of grievances against the west, and once again framed his invasion of ukraine as a fight for russia's survival. really to suffer, the miss cook over the western elites do not conceal their goal. silly as they say, it's a direct quote to bring russia a strategic defeat to it. what does it mean, and what is it for us? it means to end us once and for all of that you as a state of the nation address, much of the russian president speech was directed at the russian audience, laudable opinion, but it closed with
1:06 am
a stock warning for the rest of the world. news ab, absolutely. they want to inflict a strategic defeat on us and try to get to our nuclear facility easier. in this regard, i am forced to announce to day that russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treatment. and what that agreement known as the new start treaty placed the limits on the total number of long range, new killer weapons that both russia and the u. s. could have many fear that rushes suspension only increases the risk of a new killer confrontation than would you. but in a fiery address outside poland, royal castle in warsaw. u. s. president joe biden chose not to rise to the bait our house, but instead he presented a very different view of the conflict. so that i, i speak once more to the people of russia, united states, the nations of europe, do not seek to control or destroy russia. the west was not plotting to attack
1:07 am
russia, as prudent said to day, and millions of russian citizens. while we want to live in peace with our neighbors are not the enemy. just a day off to his historic visit to cave biden drove home the message that western support for ukraine will last, as long as it takes one year to this war. full no longer doubts the strength of our coalition, but he still doubts our conviction. but there should be no doubt our support if re gray will not waver. naida will not be divided and we will not tire, given eyes as the one year anniversary of the invasion approaches. the conflict shows no sign of ending it or noon and the 2 sides appear as far apart as ever. where you need, you know, in your bullet in it and for more on foods in biden, and these split screen realities over ukraine. i'm joined now by jade mclinn. she
1:08 am
has researched and written extensively on russia. her latest book entitled russia's war is due out next month. i understand she joined towards me to night from oxford j. that's good to have you on the program again, that maybe you could help us understand what, what we sold to day when vladimir putin delivered his state of the nation address. i watched and listened in what struck me was a president with a long list of grievances speaking before room of people. not a smile in the house. yes, this is very of me model faces in that. what do you, i think rather than insane, e t s a lot of it to the average western leader with sound tediously insane. and that's really the issue that you will requesting as already already noted. which is that this address showed once again, that the russian president clearly inhabits, not only a sort of different version of reality, but who missed
1:09 am
a different epoch from from that, from the sort of the west. we might problematically who, who esther this however, was a speech or an address that's not really aimed at foreign audiences. although, of course, he would have understood me audience is one of the, traditionally the state of the nation address isn't for the business and political anymore. so you, would you say that this speech then was completely for domestic consumption. and when i say domestic consumption, i'm talking about just the average russian citizen, you know, mr. joe russian walking down the street from where was this speech meant for him or her? well i think move there are different parts of the speech. i think some pos that were targeted at them quite large parts. they were targeted at this sort of business and political leads and leaks, basically saying to them, yeah, know where to go. so and yes, you rediscover, patriotism and,
1:10 am
and get on board because, you know, there's never else the you anyway. and then also, i mean, particular start that it's around the world. they were clearly, there was several who he misses the days, including including that or the west. when you listen to blood reporting and you consider how bad russian us relations are at the moment, i mean, you could come to the conclusion that as long as while bruton is in power, there will be no reset from the west resort in the west. no reconciliation, no attempt to bring russia back into the european house. as bruton said, right, new berlin, 20 years ago. i mean, is that your sense? that is my sense and i really don't see how they could be after a speech. like today, any sense? the rational, rational attempt at a reset, or it a, bring russia back into that common european to which russia does belong,
1:11 am
you knows as much as any other european country. that obvious reasons. nobody taking us to share home with russia right now. and i think one of the reasons is clear from the species he's talking about, you know, the recognition of the football regions of ukraine that was sort of annexed in. well, he said, we're annexed in interesting, you know, city to some of the russian army never occupied. this was a speech landing, you know, hearing of and telling william foreign audiences, but also domestic will notice and especially with this and so needs to be prepared with to put up with this for quite a while longer miss you about what we heard from you as president joe biden, today he pointed the finger directly at vladimir boom, holding him responsible for what he said, are numerous atrocities that have been committed in ukraine. what impact of any do
1:12 am
accusations like this have on vladimir putin? do you think? i think they have absolutely no impact on him and told them that way of thinking in russian politics more generally, you meet and maybe amongst the lesson eat is that it is pretty really in the sense that they think wow, you know great postpone the trustees that you was up to around the world with this love. yeah. you find me you atrocities, but at least not hypocrites about you even worse. you do a great. i mean that's, i'm not saying that's a fact that maybe there's maybe in that instance that you would hear. i think if you asked russian politically it could even that fires well in terms of domestic audiences. i sent me out even with media, prove that they react quite badly to suggestions as sort of the russian soldiers
1:13 am
have been committing. i've been committed crimes. they say, well here that's changed and that's, that's you say that the reasons why he believes the lesson. so let me ask you about the role of china and all of this. i mean, this week we've got to, i'm trying to talk diplomat. in moscow, we know that russia and china announced that the, there's is our friendship with no limits. that was last year, just before the start of the war did put in. do you think that he attempt today to maybe realign russia to put russia and china on the same side of the global south in a struggle against the decadent wes, led by the us? did you see him trying to do that today? yes. a serious analysis and that's been something that he's been trying to do to different sort of measures the 2nd audiences. but today was almost as if one of the narrative strands came together into more of
1:14 am
a coherent whole. and this idea that russia is fine to you, defense for resisting cultural colonization, of sort of what one might term, western or american normative imperialism. so the sense that west valley should be in person, other countries with no regard to the best of an a t as in trends framing. and in that regards to him in frame is almost new on this new symbolic sense as well. and of course pieces faced, the ukrainian people are hostage. and so again, this idea actually that free for the insistence from west milford and i had to ask you about nuclear weapons. what do you make of polluted? today's suspending. russia's participation in the new start treaty, maybe he made it clear that russia is not exiting this treaty.
1:15 am
yes. oh, you see very disappointing because it's very important for discussion around this incredibly significant area to continue even if negotiations on the one crane can or sort of pretty pointless at the moment that i think that most likely this is a way of sort of wrestling west again, and certainly believes that time is on his side and that he can wait this out. he has the patients in the west, doesn't the west will start to fall to support the pain. and he knows that threats about using nuclear weapons, the sort of underhand comments that they work, they frighten when to, well, they might because united nation, it's completely reasonable for it to be fighting about that. so my initial instinct is to interpret this within the broader fear mongering around the use of nuclear
1:16 am
weapons as a means of sort of controlling or frightening western audience isn't telling them to back a few crane. yeah, he certainly gets the world's attention when he throws the nuclear component into the equation with ukraine. that is for sure. jade mclinn as always, we appreciate your time. fascinating analysis. thank you. thank you. ah. in his speech to day, russian president flew pu, didn't said that his country as we just mentioned in suspending its participation in the new start nuclear arms treaty with the west. nato secretary general un stoughton bare is now urging proved into reconsider stoughton bag. met today with ukraine's foreign minister, metro labor and the european union foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. their talks took place at nato headquarters. at the same time on russian president vladimir putin was giving his state of the nation address in moscow. are here is part of what stoughton burke had to say earlier today. more
1:17 am
nuclear weapons and ha, less arms control makes the world more dangerous. and that's the reason why innate will work so hard to engage or shaw on issues directed to arms control on one a. dallas has supported the new start and also why i'm holding on the russia to day to reconsider. it's a decision to suspend its participation. the new, the start agreement, we have to remember this is a, one of the last major arms control agreements. we have author rashaw started to violate the agreement that the bound the older intermediate range weapons that on if treated that lead to the de my saga treaty a few years ago. so now the answer suspending the older big nuclear arms control treaty, the news thought which regulates put limits on the total number of long range
1:18 am
strategic weapons. i'm going to go now to our corresponded teary shows. she is in brussels covering this story for tonight's good to see you, terry. you know this news of fusion suspending rushes participation in the new start treaty. we've seen time and time again since this invasion of ukraine began, that when potent injects nuclear weapons into the discussion, he immediately gets the world's attention. that's what happened today at nato. it appears that's true, although this isn't a total surprise. what put in announced because the russian side has been unwilling to continue negotiations about the extension of the new start treaty now for several months. and that's pretty unusual because even when tensions have been really high between the 2 sides, typically on arms control, they manage to find a compromise. they've kept talking throughout the years of bad relations between the u. s. and russia. so this is really considered a bad sign, but in past weeks,
1:19 am
both the u. s. and nato, as a whole, have accused russia violating news start, which has, of course, led to the russians not being willing to sit at a table with them. but yeah, i think people are pretty alarmed as this is the last major arms control treaty between the 2 sides. and we did the focus of today's meeting in brussels was actually european weapons did in european weapons for ukraine. what do we know so far? tell us more. that's right, the situation is so dire for ukraine right now, brent, that we're seeing initiatives come in from everywhere. today's meeting between a stilton berg and the i representative just at burrell and ukraine's foreign minister demitra kula was actually the 1st time a year into this war that all 3 of them have sat around a table and try to figure out what role each could play in getting more deliveries to ukraine and was particularly pressing at this moment is ammunition. ukraine
1:20 am
warns that it may run out of ammunition. so we've, we've got to have a proposal on the table on the you side from estonia, asking the you to put 4000000000 euros in a fund and then find ammunition for ukraine from anywhere they can in the world. the numbers are, are really quite remarkable. brent ukraine is shooting as many rounds per month as the entire european arms industry makes in a year when it was rounds of ammunition. well, you were able to ask questions today at this young press conference, right? that's right. that's right. i asked them what they're going to do about it, because again, as i said a year into this war, you would think that they would have taken some of these initiatives already because the lead time on producing ammunition and other equipment is so long. and these industries have been scaled back for years, because as we've said many times, nobody expected a shooting war in europe ever again. so to expand the production line, which, which means stalking up on raw materials, sourcing them,
1:21 am
hiring more people training more people that takes a long time in the industry has been warning. governments of this now for some time that they need to put signed contracts on the table money on the table if they want to see the result in several months. yeah, let's take a listen to to what you were told to davis press coverage. not enough has been done, and this is why we're standing here. this is the statement effect, and if you ask me on any issue, head was enough done right? or to provide you was everything you need? the answer is no. if i had we, if we had already won the war and i would be standing here, i would have said the opposite. i would say yes, we appreciate everything was done because we won the war. as long as this is not the case. it's not enough in the beginning we were actually depleting our own stocks. but and then we saw that the, the,
1:22 am
the rate of consumption of ammunition or is much hired on the rate of production. and therefore, this is not sustainable if when you to, to produce more. but this is not something we discovered now, it is called as many months ago. and therefore we have been engage with industry accommodations for a long time. and contracts have been signed a night to states, france, norway, among others. but us answer a musical episode that the middle said, and we need, we need to speed up or we need to do more. and that's exactly why we're meeting here to provide the munitions to your grain today b and b's facility is nothing. neil, we have been doing that since the beginning of the wall. i asked him, member to stage provide us with the you'd emanation to be sent to ukraine and being co financed by the fund. so the only thing is to delete it quicker at the larger scale. i do, terry, after hearing all that,
1:23 am
how dire then is the the equipment weapon shortfall? well, let me unravel some of what we just heard there. it's dire, as i mentioned there's, there are warnings that ukraine simply cannot continue to fight at this level. if it doesn't get more ammunition and the european weapons industry says, until you get a signed contract, we can't produce more. now secretary general still to bring said there have been signed contracts, but i've been speaking to to weapons manufacturers over the last week. brent in preparation for stories i'm doing for d w, and they tell us that even as they say this, they are not delivering contracts at the level. they would need to really scale up ammunition. now what vice, what high representative row was talking about is this new proposal to put money into the you and, and have them a make a joint procurement of a large nature that would convince industry it's worth it to scale up. there's enough confidence there that they will have long term contracts,
1:24 am
long term benefits that they're willing to do that. these are companies that need to make money. they can't be expected to to speculate on what might happen next. they want to have certainty corresponded jerry sholtes with the leaders from brussels tonight on getting the money for those weapons and giving their weapons for the ukrainians. there is always thank ah are here at the berlin international film festival. the red carpet was graced with cinema royalty to day director, producer screenwriter steven spielberg is being honored for lifetime achievement with an honorary golden bare for decades. he has been packing cinemas with action adventures such as jaws address park, as well as dramas such as you know them, schindler's list and saving private ryan. and as part of the homage the berlin allah is screening spielberg's latest film. the fable mints. take
