the the, the breaking news moscow accuses key of, of a false flag attack on the turnover nuclear facility only a day after president clinton and trump agreed to work toward ending as the ukraine complex. the munich security conference kicks off with the you create in complex set to take center stage and it's broken promises and a major a wake up call from nato. the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war in ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany and europe are to be classified as an emergency. and the trumpet and 2 separate leaves to europe in a panic and its leaders scrambling to be included in the negotiation. the

rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching r t international. we start with breaking news. moscow says cube is attempting to frame russia for our ukrainian at drawn stripe on turnover. this comes just a day after the russian and american president agreed to seek a peace deal on ukraine. the international atomic energy agency confirmed a blast at the defunct of nuclear site. overnight. the problem has called the attack a provocation. you must be teacher. there is no way that any nuclear infrastructure could have been struck. so any claims that this was the case or not true, the russian military do not do this with judges. this is most likely just another propagation. another fudging this is exactly what the keywords seem sometimes does not shy away from doing well. and i'm not sure it seems that the key of regime is the so desperate for any type of its session and view of the recent contact between

moscow and washington that it's really ready for anything at all or even the nuclear it's there that could result in a major catastrophe, not only from russia, ukraine, and other neighboring countries, but for the nations of the european union as well. in the parents, attempts to disrupt any peace negotiations. lensky seems to be going all the way in, by attacking the cements for golf against solve that your noble nuclear power plants. and of course, the so called officials of the key of rosie were quick to blame. a rush, uh for that. and zach and by the way, just a day before that it sounds like a mature noval zalesky spoke to the media as explaining this can nuclear power plants. and you know, it's really hard to describe, but his words is anything but fear mongering as he promised death in battle to the american soldiers against russia. well, i have listened for yourself. would you give those to me any bilateral talks about

you crane? i'm not talking about other topics, any bilateral talks about ukraine without us. we will not accept it. as i said yesterday, when we talked with the minister and i told him that, you know, what are your american brigades, which are they nato troops. they are located in europe, and if there is the invasion, it will be fast. so your military will fight. i told him that they have to save the lives of the people, because there are around, i don't know. there are 100000 americans in europe. they're going to fight and not everyone will survive the russian for a minute. so you spoke with marie, is a car of a is search. and that's, that's that com, the deformed journal, use their power plants, was nothing but a provocation was an ascii behalf. who is it now looking for more money and more weapon sick of this? and that's just something it's but there's no doubt that zelinski would not have come to the munich conference, empty handed, the key of regimes. hans, not only are they covered in blood, they always have to be kept busy with a rattle, for example, they use them to distract the participants of international conferences. the munich

security conference were members, many such rattles. meanwhile, the head of the international atomic energy agency, rafael grossey, said that the incident that your noble and the recent increase in ministry activity around the promotion nuclear power plants underline persistence, nuclear safety risk from that said, there is absolutely no room for complacency, as the atomic energy agency remains in high alerts. now the increase in the military activity that raphael grossey was talking about probably refers to the fact that's a high a. he a monitors the stations of is up our dollars. yeah. and usually our power plants have been trying to road say their team since the beginning of, uh, uh, february of this year. and so the latest attempt resulted in the disruption of that rotation as ukraine headsets and military convoy carrying international monitors from the agency. now the disruption of the rotation of experts occurred entirely

due to the fact of the deliberate actions of the crate inside. according to the russian defense ministry, they added that some must go, has fulfilled all over the gave sions to insure security and establish a so called regime of military silence in the area of the rotation of the i, a e, a experts. now at the same time how the minutes, and so the key of the she made yet another attempts to attack the nuclear power plants using drones. now one of them crack, it's just a 300 meters away from the, for, from the 1st power unit. so the nuclear power plant uh, the same time, the international atomic energy experts have already to return to the nuclear power plant except for garage here and to continue their monitoring mission. first deputy chair of russia's federation council committee on defense and security vladimir

cheese jobs says this publication shows how desperate ukraine is. i am afraid, samsung, the. so do you do the mental state of, of the lead to lee 2 years from now on that syria, him should have been expect the expect to that least. i really that in reading story is like this probably in this particular case nobody was injured. but overall, it's a major pro occasion wage is an additional element of escalates of deliberate, this delays of the situation that you agree. so there is no other blogs or below explanation. are they on the rush, like a senior diplomat task by the russian foreign ministry with documenting alleged ukrainian atrocities, is reporting a spike in key of drone attacks on russia. the following, putting this phone call with it's from do you think this is even further escalation,

this increased intensity of during the tax ease. uh, there have been numbers going up and down every 24 hours on the number of the building that takes to get different rest and regions not only to the media regions within the zone of uh, facilities, but also a more far away places and buildings. reasons uh, quite far from you. great. uh and there have been certain nights when there was a dozen uh, side drones or uh, uh, in one case it was the number was over a 100. well, last night it was a widget. so this is again a sign up for a station. oh, the key frame being uh,

left out from uh, the folk with of international it is the turn of all drugs right. comes on the same day. the international security conference kicks off and unix ukraine is set to take center stage despite the meetings to stay that agenda, which claims to place an emphasis on global governance and the trans atlantic ties of those topics are now likely to be overshadowed by trumps commitment to stop the war. all right, i'm joined in live by our t correspondence. charlotte dimansky who is currently in unix. charlotte tell us what's going on there? yeah, those are the eyes of the world old and the security conference, the annual security conference taking place here in munich. in a very chilly city, and i think that's the kind of feeling the lovely european lead is a feeling like now some chill coming from the united states because we've had some fairly big explosive statements coming from the trump white house administration

over the situation in ukraine. from having cold president putin of russia in the last day or so to start the ball rolling on negotiations in this conflict, he did. so before he even spoke the blow to me is a lensky, old view crate. enrolled him is landscape of you kind of course she in the music security council hoping to have come perhaps cap in hand. you've had more support, and it seems that he may be going away empty handed because we've also had state when it's not from the new us secretary of defense. this is p haig says, who has talked about the fact that ukraine needs to accept the reality on the ground that we know from statements we've been hearing of the last few weeks. that that is a sense that ukraine will have to accept seating territory. those new territory, so i did support boat to join russia over the last few years as well as a full cry media. let's just have a listen to what else p, texas has to say of my job today and in

brussels was to introduce realism to the conversation. the reality that returning to 2014 as borders is part of a negotiated settlement is unlikely. the reality of us troops in ukraine is unlikely, the reality of ukraine membership in nato as a part of the negotiated settlement unlikely. and i stand by the comments that i made on that 1st day in the ukraine contact group. and that's for all the press out there move. it's difficult for them to understand that we stand by the statements we made in reality about the status of us forces, or nato's in or ukraine's involvement and nato. and the unlikely nature of that. that said, i would never put constraints around with the president of the united states would be willing to negotiate with the sovereign leaders of both russia and ukraine as well. we know that zalinski is unhappy with those common. so we saw about today one

of the press conferences. now just to go back to another point briefly, rachel, this is the fact that donald trump had suggested that us officials were going to meet meeting top russian officials here with the munich security conference. we've also heard from russia that that's not the case. they've not been invited to the security conference, if not been invited, as it is all the way back in 2022. and that as being described as being a political decision by the spokesperson for the foreign ministry in russia. and maria's account of going back to was the lensky has reacted in terms of what we've heard from pete tag assess. and from donald trump, he has basically said, you know, ukraine needs to be involved in that to go see ation was that it won't accept the territory and it certainly wants to continue. that removes, it's a native disappoint approximately quite clear from the us administration. the via

is not going to happen. and what it means. lensky clearly feeling the stress of the moment in his press conference, looking incredibly disheveled, looking someone very worried and who has not had lots of sleep. extremely, not if we are not in nato war until we are in nato. this means that we will have an opportunity to protect ourselves with exactly the kind of army that is capable of doing so. these are appropriate nato weapons and the appropriate number of soldiers and the towers ukrainians. and we are ready to talk about everything from the contingent to security grants from nato. either we are in nato or nato is in us, so we are ready for any framework to start putting as well. we had done this. so lensky was due to be meeting with the us, vice president j. d vault. is until you would that me thing is not going to take place on friday. it seems to be an issue with the scheduling. but we also know that j. d. bronx has been a huge the critical of ukraine in general and it's role in new rule. so we were

expecting that meeting might be a little bit fiery between the 2, particularly given the context of everything else that's being said. now your family does also seem to be frightening about the noise is coming out of the, from the white house, saying that no ukraine has to be involved in the negotiations. this copy a situation of russia and the us deciding together the feature of what happens to crane and also that you will see in the dusk must be at the table to almost something the feet just suggest that it's wrong that they could be left out of bed and we've been hearing from the gym and chancellor fall off. schultz, who's been talking about the support his country wants to continue giving you credit despite the facts about support is incredibly unpopular in an electro. yes. can hi, tim. this is, do we need a reform of the debt break? because in order to invest in our security and defense, secondly,

the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war in ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany and europe are to be classified as an emergency. yeah, so, so interesting words coming out that from european leaders, 2 of the things to point out here about the potential feature of ukraine is the fact that the u. s. has continued to state that it was access to the rad minerals, or metals that may be available in ukraine is a form of payment for $1.00 of the big things of dollars is spent on the country over the last few years. and also donald trump saying that russia should have never been kicked out to the g 7. it shouldn't become, so didn't become the g 7 again. but we thought response from that for russian, which is clearly in the world and a defense of focus at the moment saying actually you know what, the g 7, the g 8, that's not what's important. the feature is in the g 20 and not multi polarity will

that we've seen russia really trying to help flourish over the last few years within the bricks nation. so for russia, perhaps not so interested about being invited back into the so called elite group. it moves to be paul to a much for the community. the g. 20 it says is the feature or take correspond that charlotte depends a lot of the thank you. well, as leaders take on a global security concerns and munich air pin natal members have been shocked by the us. presidents pushed to end the ukraine conflict the despite brussels efforts to keep the tanks for rolling or excuse me and the customer has the story. it's the most important form for secure. it's a policy in the world a conference where no actual decisions are made, but plans and intentions are definitely laid out. it's been well established that it's a good barometer for trans atlantic relations which appear to be on shaky grounds.

as of late, especially after donald trump was re elected and started demanding more of his european allies. you know, we have over 300 cars. they don't take off off broadway. they take all of us and nothing. and we take everything from that millions of cars, tremendous amounts of products, but really out of out of life. well, you're asking me a question, chris, and share it in here. or am i going to impose terrace on the european union? do you want the trustful answer, or should i give you a political answer? absolutely. that's your opinion industry this so terribly.

i told the european union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the united states by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas. otherwise, it is tariffs all the way donald trump will not be attending the event. so he was vice president and secretary of state who will have to face the news as potentially explain why they're put in america 1st. all of a sudden when for decades, u. s. foreign policy seem to out way, domestic issues. it's easy to see while european leaders are upsets. trump made a clear that he wants his fellow natal members. so increase their defense spending targets. the us has always covered, most of the alliance is costs, but now it's changing it soon. if you don't pay, we're not going to protect you from said the problem is you have to call them me. it's not doing that grades on top of that. they're also facing a trade war with their main ally. as the old trend is expected to increase tires on

all steel and aluminum imports into the united states, which doesn't exclude his bodies, the european ministers are electrically shaking in their boots. call it as an escalating fray, the war trying to do every thing they kansas stop that from happening. they have a demo that comes with and i have already mentioned the american tariffs that are threatening us, possibly on steel and aluminum. if the us leaves us no other choice than the european union will react in the united manner as the largest market in the world with 450000000 citizens, we have the power to do so. that uses no justification for the imposition of studies on our exports, which is economically consul products. especially given the deeply integrated production checking says probably set through our extensive transatlantic site and investment times we stand against on justified barriers to free and fair trade. if

we remain fully committed to a level playing field, we will always take the necessary steps to protect our economic interests of as well as european businesses workers and consumers from unjustified tariff measures . well, that's not all. there's also that little issue over greenland because owning the territory is apparently filed. so for us national security. well, obviously that didn't go down well with denmark or the rest of europe for that matter. but there's also another issue and much bigger issue. europeans are shocked and appalled, have therapy in sidelines and pretty much ignored when it comes to resolving the conflict in ukraine present. donald trump says he is looking forward to negotiating with russian president vladimir putin to end the war and ukraine. potential breakthrough in the war and ukraine after calls with russian president put and ukranian presidents, the landscape president trump,

now saying peace negotiations will start immediately create different moscow. what about ukraine? after 9 a minute phone call between president trump and russian president vladimir putin and those 2 leaders agreed to meet and begin negotiations immediately to end the war and ukraine, but apparently, without ukraine's participation. interesting question. i think they have to make peace that people are being killed and i think they have to make peace. i showed that was not a good war to go into and i think they have to make peace. that's what i take while the russian and us leaders appear committed an owner, a way to put an end to the conflict and ukraine. there is europe in towns, the parts are upset, the word consults, a foreign ministers even held a meeting in paris. so highlight that their opinion matters and should be taken into account. there will be no just and lasting peace in ukraine without the

europeans in paris. so i'm following codger colors. jose manuel out virus writers loud sikorsky angelina barrow bach. david lemmy andrews, who bilious maria tree party, and andre cbg. tonight to talk about european security and our support for ukraine . there will be no just and lasting peace in ukraine without the participation of europeans. peace can only be achieved in the long term if we act together as a nato partner with our american friends, ukraine's independence and territorial integrity. unconditional priority must now be strengthened in ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. in any negotiation, europe must have a central role. so what if they had 2 years to figure it out, both have been unable to let the blood should continue. those weren't there words, of course, but those are the rep precautions and they know it's we are ready to enhance our

support for ukraine, which means that they are ready to send more money and more weapons. so what if they don't have enough for nato or their own countries? but as long as they have enough for you pray and our share, the objectives should be supposed to crane and the position of strength. that's impossible, and they know it's new. crane is losing the war and there's no reversing that. this declaration is a sub testament of bad persetti and leadership. while president donald trump and president putin negotiate on peace. you officials issue with list statements. you come to request a seat at the negotiating table. you have to run it through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy, the position of brussels to support killing as long as it takes is morally and politically unacceptable. europe has squandered its central role by damaging its economy through rejecting cheap russian energy supplies and limiting its political cloud to mirroring what us is doing. now your role is to stand in the corner and

watch. but you are of continues grasping at straws, trying to make a potential piecemeal look like a that's warren's what their media using the same rhetoric and the same language as always the well, that's your language. not mine, certainly not a betrayal. but as i said to our allies yesterday, we recognize the incredible commitment that has been made over many years. and no country as the president trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the ukrainian mission than the united states of america. north of $300000000000.00. so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines. after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world in the united states is invested and interested

in peace. a negotiated piece, ridiculous questions like ways are the reason he decided to skip the munich, secure it's a conference even though he is in the europe this week. but there are enough high level officials from the us going who will no doubt have a lot of questions to answer. the problem is, history has shown that all these world leaders don't really pay a lot of attention to what is being said at this conference. bladder, where it puts in the use the very same platform for years warren and the west. not so expand nato east towards, from as early as 2007, and what became known as his munich speech. and it says it's not as good as shooting you may thought expansion does not have any relation with the modernization of the alliance itself. with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious provocation that reduces the level of mutual trust. and we have the right

to ask against whom is this expansion intended? and what happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. where are those declarations today? no one even remembers them. but i will allow myself to remind the sorry and what was said. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister werner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he said at the time that the fact that we are ready not to place a needle army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees getting hills where a clear about the interest era precautions of such a move? but does anyone listen? no. in fact, right before the special military operation began, learn ski. use the conference to deliver the final blow. yeah. your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convince somebody to budapest memorandums taking

a treat countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, good idea of what we're going to attend. the closest signed in 1994 is nolan foil. maybe it was a lot of skill was clueless. the was certainly was as after so many years of warnings and requests not to escalate tensions along the russian border. but they did unless it and now when was seemingly approaching the end of this, not this, europe has a problem with it. and also what the us, perhaps the tide is indeed turning as a make it a break of situation boils in the west looks like it's going to be one interesting conference for now to 11 on the where the say to our hangs by a thread and authorities have denied and a rainy and plain from landing a bay ru airport. for testers waving has the flags are blocking access roads to the complex and reaction are to stave sweeney brings us the details. pensions of fled.

if i were international apple, off the 5 testers clashed with members of the lebanese secuity for these hundreds of defended that off the postage circulated online, showed liberty civilians stranded on the runway around international apple. this was also the deputies governments have refused to allow it to land roughly cover every international airport and as well have to pay it to a residence or place sign the it contains it, right and in cash. now the protest is set fires and they were confronted by the security policy is to 5 shots into the gas, the liberties government. eventually charles to the plane from released allies to return those. it was stranded in iran and bring them back to level to now, many of those civilians have been around for religious holiday somewhere or even believe to be coming from around at to lebanon. for the funeral of the slain has

the secretary general house on us of all that now has a lot did issue. a statement to the protest is quoting for them to carry out their protests peacefully. now this again is seen as a know the intervention from the united states is believe that it is pressure from washington that the government to refuse to allow the place to land invite, which of course this comes just a week off to the us and boy or deputy invoice for the middle east, morgan ols. it goes from outrage off the comment. she made it the president to publish and popped up when she praised as well for defeating has law on cool for the organization to be excluded from the government. now this comes a very volatile time in lever done. the extension of the seas father to date is a drawing day of on february the 18th. and as well as the powers, the offices that deadline to be extended that but has been categorically ruled out by the liberties government deadline. president joseph own of a game is well,

has escalated tension soon. all the, you know, lives of the sea. so i wouldn't be agreed to the extension of that say, so as well. 5, please find to just very little over the liberties capital by route breaking the sound bomb. yeah. causing these sony who's, which is very much see as a direct threat to the lebanese government to pressure them into accepting those is rating devolves, to keep troops here in the south of the country. now, this also comes at the time when we're preparing for the funeral. of the secretary general pass on, that's rather so tensions, again, related carpeting of all the time. and there are a huge number of delegates due to attend the funeral from around a little 80 countries across the world. so this, you see again, is a threat to the liberties government who kind of you called and to come to the liberties governments. well,

he's being urge to take sovereignty over the apple and not allow outside is to dictate those tends to them not as well for its part seems to be escalating tensions that were 3 as strikes last night on thursday nights just on the board of the of the, the tony river in the novel to your region, we don't know of any casualties at this stage, but as that's for the extension of the sci fi goals, never move in order to get yourself what she said to return to the country. on sunday, the 16th, so february and negotiations around any potential extension all due to take place. but the situation for now, he remains incredibly folded towels and whether it is route will leave by the fed by $1718.00 lays very much to be safe. i'll be back with much more news and half an hour right here on our to international. i'll see you then bye for now. the.
