i think russia and its the crimea _ different? i think russia and its the crimea was _ different?its the crimea was a - different? i think russia and. its the crimea was a foregone conclusion. there is nothing that the west could have done to prevent putin moving his forces into crimea. the russians have always considered that crimea is part of russia. i think three quarters of the crimean people consider them to be itself to be part of russia. but i think now we have the same situation that i face when i was in the white house. when the soviets invaded afghanistan in 1979, i took strong action, both with diplomatic relations with russia, ia declared an embargo against russia as well, i began to arm the freedom fighters in afghanistan so they could repel the russian invaders and i announced to the leader that if he went any further that he had already gone that i would respond militarily with all the weapons that we had at our disposal. and that was the end of the soviet invasion. i and that was the end of the soviet invasion.— and that was the end of the soviet invasion. i want t

well, i think that the taking of crimea by russia was a foregone conclusion.stern nations could have done to prevent putin from moving his military forces into crimea, because the russians have always considered that crimea was part of russia. when i was president and even before that, and i think about 75% of the crimean people consider themselves to be part of russia. so that was no way to change that. but i think now we have the same situation that i faced when i was in the white house in christmas week, as a matter of fact, of 1979, when the soviets invaded afghanistan, i took very strong action. i withdrew my ambassador, broke diplomatic relations with russia. i declared an embargo against russia as well. i began to arm the freedom fighters in afghanistan so they could repel the russian invaders. and i announced to brezhnev that if he went any further than he had already gone, that i would respond militarily with all the weapons that we had at our disposal. and that was the end of the soviet invasion. i want to ask you about your book, a call to action: w

them keep crimea ? what they have now, those things matter a great deal. the fight comes to us if we are not posing a posture strength or the ability to go to them if they come to us. having said that, i do think we are unified around a piece through strength message. the question on ukraine itself is unsettling to us. i would say with the president of our party, he will drive the message or the position more that direction. i would think combination with our democratic friends, a majority of the united states still supports ukraine and probably, when it comes to negotiating in our chamber, we will just have to negotiate a little bit differently. nobody should be full by the idea that we are somehow just going to offer up what we've always offered up. this is a acquired transactional business. >> could you just explain what you said about nato being on the table. >> what i said, what i meant to say, i may not have been clear, i think as we look at any negotiation, clearly, ukraine security is a concern.

the whole thing back to collective defense goes back to the annexation of crimea. this huge shift in thinking in the alliance back from going away from crisis response operations to the core business basically of defense started in 2018, 2019. that has resulted in all these strategies and plans into things that have been agreed by the leaders. that is one. i think it's important to basically understand where this all started, it was because of russians, russian actions in 2008 in georgia, 2014 in crimea, 2022 in the whole of ukraine. it's not that nato started the war and all of the nonsense you here. if the russians were really afraid of nato, they would have responded completely different to the annexation, to the a session of finland to the alliance. with a border of about 900 miles, they did not send one soldier to the border with finland, so nato is not a threat to the russians and they know it , so this is about the fear of democracy. this is about them fearing democracy. because the people in ukraine are able to control their government, to make sure people

i'm so happy to advocate for my colleagues, who are in prison now in crimea and belarus, and i'm happy to talk about what works here and what needs to be done for safety of journalists. - how were you treated in russian custody? - the irony of the whole situation was that they kept me there because i was an american citizen and they treated me as a russian citizen. and even worse, other russian prisoners got access to phone calls and visits from their families. and i was denied that. 15 years ago, it was different. journalists were not impsoned, parents had hope for future of their children, and now it's different. and imagine it's 15 years and if we start doing now and we start education, if we start securing the security of journalists, it might change too. so hope kept me going in prison and hope will keep us going. - what you've just described is a transformation in media freedom in your home country of russia in the last 15 years. and jonathan, i'm gonna get to you on this because this is one area where you're battling on the forefront, but to give it a global perspective, maria,

so in 2014, putin annexed crimea and then russia begins to support what were called separatists, but were really russian proxies in the eastern part of ukraine and. the obama administration has to respond to that. so i wonder if you could talk about the kinds of sanctions that were imposed then what explains what now appears to be the rather weak obama to this? first, russian incursion into ukraine right. i think it was a really interesting period to explore the economic response to russia's annexation of crimea and the the invasion into the donbass. they were caught very unaware and unprepared and i would say they weren't. there wasn't a deep bench. i would say, in terms of russian expertise. they weren't expecting it. so when it happened, i think there was reluctance to move ahead. a strong economic response, strong sanctions without, having europe on board and at that time, europe was as it was in 2020, to very dependent on russia for in particular, oil and gas. and that made the europeans quite reluctant to move ahead with any kind of very strong economic penalties. and, you know

when crimea was invaded by russia, we decided at the time to create operation unifier. and before the war, the illegal invasion of ukraine by russia, we had already a trained 40,000 members of the security forces of ukraine. now, we're canada. we're 10% of the u.s. we can't do everything the u.s. is doing, but we've done a lot and we'll continue to do a lot. fundamentally, i think ukraine can know that at the nato table, if there's a country that is advocating for ukraine that believes that ukraine's place is in nato, it's canada. >> straightforward question -- [ indiscernible ] there's a big question for you, don't worry. >> but we're running out of time. >> don't worry. it's just one small question. everybody talks about confiscating russian assets. nobody knows exactly the amount, 250 billion. we know $191 billion sitting in belgium. i think you know about 10% of this amount is in canadian dollars. do you know that? i can tell you that. >> no, no, but -- >> you can recall this money. >> we agree with that. >> you agree with that? >> not only do we agree with the seiz

the annexation of crimea. the war in eastern ukraine. victory in ukraine. my first question for the panel, explain what victory in ukraine means. how would you define it? most allies have yet to do it. the definition of victory. >> thank you. let me first go back to the introductory video. it really stirred a lot of emotion in me. one of my most recent visits to ukraine was in april on the catholic easter. on easter monday, i joined the ceremony of the opening of his shelter. a jewish settlement in kyiv. we celebrated the rabbi's birthday. on my most recent visit, i attended the vigil of one of his sons who died. a lot of emotion here. victory means protecting values. restoring sovereignty integrity and political independence to ukraine. that is the ultimate goal. i know that does not happen overnight. if wars are not won in the first few days or weeks, -- we find ourselves in a situation where we have a line of contact. making progress, slow at a very high cost. a geopolitical situation that is pushing for a cease-fire. looking into the future, a cease-fir

the one he wants to cling to and hang on to is in crimea in ukraine.ver effort the administration and administration to come will lead to resolve that war. >> i think it is a bit of an open question. so you talked and the russians preserving their naval assets in and around syria. remember the few bases they had in syria, that was really their own footprint in the middle east so i think they will be reluctant to give that up. whether they are going to be able to stay or not we don't know because we don't know what the governing structure in syria will look like. but make no mistaking i think we all should assume mr. putin won't want to give up access to the middle east if he can all avoid it. and what we have been saving is up port we have given to ukraine certainly as ukraine continueses to strike targets in crimea had an impact on his ability inside ukraine and as we have supported israel in their fight against hamas and their fight against hezbollah and certainly weakening iran, that has certainly allowed for the outing i guess of mr. assad. >> pres

intelligence says an unmanned sea drone — has shot down a russian helicopter off the coast of occupied crimeaa world first. the video that was published appeared to show an explosion mid air and a large splash in the sea. the claim has not yet been independently verified. separately, ukrainian officials say the northern town of shostka near the border with russia was hit overnight in a rocket attack. the mayor said the russians has destroyed a number of buildings and some key infrastructure. across the border in russia in the western smolensk region a fuel and energy complex are on fire following a ukrainian drone attack. let's speak to victoria vdovychenko who co—runs the future of ukraine programme at the university of cambridge. starting with news of the sea drone attacks, is an example of how sophisticated ukrainian technology has become and it has kept them in the war. that's absolutely true and we can also say it is a response in kind because the ukrainian defence forces were the first in the world to destroy an aerial target and it's something that the main intelligence director and mi

i'm originally from crimea and before war started in 2014, because they occupied my first home, crimeaa lot of ukrainian dancers was like part of moscow ballet on saint petersburg ballet. and nobody knows about like how half percent of the russian companies are created from ukrainian dancers, you know, and after 2014, it was my answer. like in cultural front, we created grand kiev ballet just from the ukrainian dancers, from national opera of ukraine, from kharkiv national opera, from odessa national opera. and it was small company just with one production. and after ten years. for now, more than 25 different productions. and we are dancing in four continents and australia and new zealand, united states, europe, scandinavian country. >> that's amazing. and the dancers that are involved here, some of them, you know, they were also lost their homes as well. and now they're part of something new. by joining this, this dance company that you created, how are they reacting to being part of something that's grown so much over the last ten years? >> yeah. you know, a lot of our dancers from o

but later on in crimea he did admit that that he had lied.that was a turning point in our relationship quite clearly. and that i had to be extremely cautious in my approach towards him. so you cannot only trust in an agreement with him. that's absolutely correct. so we have to give to ukraine, in which form whatsoever security guarantees very clear and absolutely reliable guarantees as we gave them when they said we're going to dispense with our nuclear power. and at the time. but ukraine cannot be left without any security guarantee in what maybe we think is a piece in my book i write quite clearly that apart from the military support for ukraine, it is very important to also think now of how a diplomatic solution can look like after the end of the war i'm struck in your book you as the first female chancellor of germany, you seem to have been heavily challenged by two macho men i mean, donald trump spent his first campaign, as you write, you know, attacking you, and you were surprised you say that he would spend his presidential campaign at

that oil tanker literally split apart as it was navigating between russia and crimea, is the region from ukraine that russia annexed in 2014 when it was caught in a storm. there is footage posted on social media that allegedly showed the detached boat sinking while waves are crashing. they launched a distress signal, there was massive rescue operation, 50 rescuers, helicopters, tugboats rushed to the scene. in the end they managed to save 12 crew members and took them to the hospital. but one of them, at least, has died. at the same time, as you mentioned, a second oil tanker ran into trouble in the same area at the same time because of that storm, and also launched a distress signal after it sustained serious damage and run adrift. as early this morning, there was still an ongoing rescue operation. it was made difficult by the bad weather conditions. now both tankers are said to be carrying at least, more than 4,000 tons of oil products. and that's why the authorities now are doing their best to try to mitigate the oil spill. at the same time, they open an investigation into whether the

worth of assets from ukraine's national gas company, natural gas, in the 2014 illegal antics ation of crimea. the company has identified russian owned properties like these in several countries, asking local courts to seize them. but so far, only finland has done it. i don't know whether in some countries or they are thinking about wait a minute, we have a state on the opposing side and each the rest the state should be i should be not . you know, render an an award unsure of how russia may react. the attorneys who filed the case for natural gas and inland won't appear on camera as a security precaution, but they don't tied the reason. they took the case for free to use our skills, our profession, to help you create defense minister on the hacking and notes this decision taking money out of moscow's pockets helps finland to. we have to deal the measure what we can to kind of put down that russian war economy for his part hacked in, in, has blocked new sales of property to russians and said, a near total band is coming soon to better prevent malign actors access to critical infrastructure and
