well, on location at the munich security conference is d. w. 's chief political editor, mckayla, cuz they're hi michelle, a good to see. now we just saw ukraine's president followed the mirror to lansky, asking for more support to defend ukraine against russia at what's been the response to his appeal. well, he has all the moral solidarity he ones, but quite clearly, this conflict will not become a nato conflict. and that was made absolutely clear to me to him. and he had a very passionate speech here for the delegates, for the heads of government. basically asking for clarity, do you want us that we do not want us? and ideally, asking for a timeline to join nato in the future, that is simply not going to happen. nobody wants to provoke rasa even further. there's a focus on diplomacy and a focus on understanding what exactly vladimir putin once. when he talks about new stability in europe, a new balance that he wants to strike and hit nato, the you will have to find a fine line between not crossing its own limits of keeping an open door for pot

now for the 1st time in decades, russia is a no show at the munich security conference. the ukraine crisis is dominating this year's talks. germany and the u. s. have called for solidarity in the face of russian security demands. this scheme, which of course is a lot a show of unity right from the start gym and foreign minister and alina babble and her u. s. counterpart antony blinkin took to the states together, setting the tone for the 3 day conference to whiter. does miss miss dorothy sagen porter? there's a new war impending right in the middle of europe was then speaking with russia issues, an absolutely unacceptable threat with their troops build up. who am i, you know, the, the ukraine about, but also via the, all of us read and our piece architecture in europe. these a cheese is as therefore this crisis is no ukraine crisis. we have to be very careful about our framing. it's a rush, crisis course lunches, and i think present hooton's been a little bit surprised at that solidarity at the way that nato has come together. the european union has come together. ah, we

news from dylan. shortly we'll be back with a live coverage from the munich secuity conference in 15 minutes event. ah, the munich security conference, 2022. and the question over what russia will do next in ukraine is overshadowing all the talk. see, those talks are about the pandemic security in the saw hel, region, the indo pacific and but also the wrong nuclear deal. but russia really is on everybody's mind. the media security.

problem with regards to diplomacy is that that is one party that is not represented that this munich security conference, and that is russia. so in terms of actual diplomacy that could lead to a solution to this crisis, that is not going to come out of this meeting in munich. i was speaking short time ago to a very senior nato source who's telling me really everything is negative. there's not nothing really going on behind the scenes that's very different from what we all know publicly, which is these dire warnings coming now from president biden, coming from intelligence sources, that an invasion is imminent. very, very soon. indeed, the source told me the only thing that is positive for now is the unity that is on display from the nato allies. and clearly that they have differences on some details. but they are very much in public speaking on the same page and a following. i think the warnings and the the lead given by president bite. what about zalinski, the ukranian leader? he was advised by not to attend this conference, but it turns out that he's coming is it they say he's coming. i'm, we have to

and russia wasn't here at the munich security conference, so it was this just the west talking amongst themselves. and what has been the effect of this threat? 5 of there were 2 important things happening at the conference. one was the west affirming it's unity, which was nice to see. the vice president made a good speech. the american vice president and several german leaders made good speeches. there was an impressive appearance of the german foreign minister. is bare bach with antony lincoln, the american foreign secretary they impressively said the same things. they agreed about the necessity of sanctions. we know that germany is willing to pay an economic price for this and it was a, it was impressive there that you know, they were and there's massive support for that here. now the dissonance, the problem is that the ukrainians who are also here and large numbers, feel that's not enough. they, you know, they understand that there could be him of full scale invasion. they understand that there will be no western military support for them. and in so in a certain sense, despite this

on location of the munich security conference as r d w t political editor, mikayla kirchner, mckayla. we her from the munich security conferences several times that no one there in the west. once will with russia. how far that is naija willing to go to protect ukraine? nater weren't protecting crane military. it's empty, isn't a member, and the whole prospect of ukraine becoming a member was never on the table. and that's the great frustration, particularly of german sansa when i saw it, it says it simply cannot be that there could potentially be a war in europe over an issue that was certainly not going to rise for at least a generation because ukraine doesn't fulfill the basic requirement, it actually has an active conflict. that means it cannot join nato even if it wants to. and even if nato opened, it still was an act of the invited it, which simply will not happen at this point in time. an interesting question that was raised to day is whether sweden or norway, or part of europe, but it are not part of nato would now potentially be able to join in the insulting back said, well li

in our first hour we showed a lot of videos that came from the munich security conference. can you tell us exactly what the history of this conference is and who attends this annual event? guest: the munich security conference has been a conference after the end of the second world war and throughout the cold war. it was a conference that was meant to bring together a high level diplomats and military representatives from both sides of the atlantic to discuss europe's security. it has been a meeting of the transatlantic community. today and in the last years it has become meeting which is not only important in terms of speeches but it has also become important in terms of the discussions that are held on the sidelines. what is significant about the munich security conference is certainly not only the speeches but also what kind of discussions are taking place on the sidelines and are there any diplomatic initiatives, any further steps which are discussed in person in munich. host: in europe, we know there is just about 80,000 american troops on the soil. exactly who is in co

and he is a reminder that you've been watching our life coverage of the munich security conference. ukraine is longing for peace. ukraine's president vladimir soleski tells world leaders of the munich security conference that is dominated this year by the threat of russian military aggression against its neighbor ukraine. russia is absent from the conference for the 1st time since 1990. you're watching d. w. use a from to berlin, a more coverage or that crunch conference and other stories, making the news at the top of the house with the green. do you feel worried about the planet to a meal host of the on the green phones podcast and somebody it's clear remains to trade. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me for you, for the plan. ah.

what's next ones, this munich security conference, or has finished the talks go on, right? that's the hope and actually asking very qualified people very well informed people here. what will come next? they will have question marks on their faces. and also, you know, when we talk of a military drill that's getting extended, tell the difference between a military drill and a troop build up for an invasion. there simply isn't one. and this is the guessing game. this is an old playbook or from the cold war, that reputed is, is playing out there and leaving the west pretty much on the defensive when it comes to trying to contain this and bring it back into a diplomatic process. that volume of booting lady is not interested in a kid. he is looking for a pre text. that's also what we are seeing in ukraine, ukraine, vowing that it won't be provoked into any action would, could be used as a pretext for a real invasion. yes, and then there's the hybrid with as an expectation that attempts to d stabilize. ukraine will take place. and differentiation has been made in the past by the w

there's a lot to talk about at this munich security conference. but the current stand off, which as we heard not as antony blink and also the u. s. president fears could tip over into a hot war at any point. and now it's clearly overshadowing every conversation that is taking place on the multiple other crises that really me talking about after all this really security conference, which is seen most importantly as a forum where leaders can meet in the side rooms can have private conversations out of the spotlight while us don't list that talking here in the full glare of the public, it hasn't really taken place for 2 years now as so it's about time that these leaders can meet and with great urgency to have such conversations. russia clearly isn't interested in talking in detail so as, as well as being a topic for discussion then you, you are alluding it took to it just said, are we likely to see decision makers there at the munich security conference actually trying to shift the needle in this crisis they will, but it will be you the lottery as in

there's a lot to talk about at this munich security conference. but the current stand off, which as we heard not as antony blinkin. also the u. s. president fears could tip over into a hot war at any point. and now it's clearly overshadowing every conversation that is taking place on the multiple other crises that really me talking about after all, the phoenix security conference, which is seen most importantly as a forum where leaders can meet in the side rooms can have private conversations out of the spotlight while, as journalists are talking here in the full glare, am of the public, it hasn't really taken place if it 2 years now. and so it's about time and that these leaders can meet and with great urgency to have such conversations. russia clearly isn't interested in talking in detail. thank you for that. i. d. w. j political editor, mckenna cutler, the munich security conference. let's take a look at some more of the stories are making headlines around the world will sought in the us, where a judge has roles. the former president, donald tr

and she is at the munich security conference where she joins us from so good to have you with us. this crisis is not going away. there has been no meaningful de escalation, according to where u. s. intelligence, with tensions surging back up. has this crisis laid bare on the west powerlessness in the face of russia? well, i think you're right that the crisis is sort of escalating. and i think trust is at such a low point between the west and russia right now, which is why i am very skeptical of some of the calls that we hear coming from the us hoping that russia would make a formal declaration or sign some kind of statement that it will not invade ukraine . the kremlin does not have a good, a strong record of upholding its international commitments. and so i think i please for that are just not the best way forward. and i am very skeptical of the possibility for a diplomatic solution. i think despite what the kremlin has been saying about it, not wanting a war, its actions are suggesting exactly the opposite. it is not withdrawing forces. it is reinforcing at the equipment in the

now vice president kamala harris will take center stage at the munich security conference. will, of course, bring you those remarks as soon as they happen. a short time ago, though, the eu commission president and nato chief jens stoltenberg addressed the conference in munich and had strong words for russia. >> the world has been watching in disbelief, as we face the largest buildup of troops on european soil since the darkest days of the cold war. because the events of these days could reshape the entire international order. this is what the kremlin's policies mean and practice. to instill fear and call it security demands. to deny 44 million ukrainians from deciding freely about their own future. to deny a free country's right to independence and self-determination. >> we call on russia to do what it says and wwithdraw its bordes from ukraine. this will be the first step towards a peaceful solution. it is not too late for russia to change course, to step back from the blink, stop preparing for war, and start working for a peaceful solution. nato remains ready to engage in

ah, the munich security conference 2022. and the question over what rasa will do next in ukraine is overshadowing all the tools. see those tools are about the pandemic security in the south hell region. the endo pacific, but also the iran nuclear deal. but russia really is on everybody's mind. media security conference 2022 here on dw news.

and given the fact that russia hasn't joined the munich security conference for the 1st time in a very long time, what can this conference actually achieve? yes indeed, i mean russia with the russian side was citing scheduling providence but quite clearly it's not interested in dialogue. and that is something everybody here at the meeting security conference from wherever they come has to somehow let sink in . yes, the avenue for diplomacy is kept open. that's what everybody who took the stage, including by the vice president of the us, but also a commission president and also a funder line who spoke here stressed, bought standing at the brink as the installed back said. and there's also the resolve to show unity, and that means translated into european and international western policy sanctions at the end of the day. so this coming hours, vicki, that those final hours of the olympic games in china will be critical to learn what vladimir putin, the russian president, actually one d w chief political editor, miguel cooper in munich. thank you so much. and ukraine, moscow beg separatists

we want to take you to the munich security conference and u.s. t kamala harris -- >> on one of the bases for the munich security conference and certainly one of the founding reasons for nato, which is european security. and the connection and alliance between europe and the united states. this was a productive trip, in terms of the extensive bilateral meetings that we had, that were in furtherance of the ongoing collaboration and partnership with our allies. it was important in that, as you all know, this is a moment that is very dynamic. if not every hour, certainly every day. there seem to be new moments of interest and also of intelligence and so we ever affirmed, however, all of that being said, through these last couple of days, that this alliance is strong. probably stronger than it was before. and that this alliance has purpose and meaning founded on shared principles that are very much at play right now. as i mentioned yesterday, if we think about those principles, one of the most important is about a mutual respect for sovereignty and ter
