congress, as well as the european council, the g7, nato. how effective are his pleas to the international community? because he keeps repeating the same desperate requests. >> remember, zelenskyy, before he became president, was a television and movie actor. and i think he knows very well how to get a message at his audience. so, my sense is that he's been very effective when he addresses western parliaments and when he addresses the congress. and what he's trying to do is build continuing support. there has been a burst of western support for ukraine, so i believe now something like 30 countries around the world are provided defensive assistance or military hardware, including lethal weapons to ukrainians. he needs to sustain that. the west needs to keep that flow of weapons flowing to ukraine so that the ukrainians can do what they've been doing for the past five weeks, which is defending their country. and they're defending their country far more effectively than the russians believe they would. >> you've got to give the ukrainians a lot

. >> chancellor schulz added that unity is key in the eu, the g7, and nato and it is something mr. putin did not expect. a top russian official is a slamming the sanctions imposed on the country speaking on his telegram channel. russian security council deputy said the penalties may qualify under certain circumstances as an act of aggression and give russia rights to self-defense. he called the measures part of a western "hybrid war" against russia. french voters had to the polls sunday in an election far from certain to return president emmanual macron to power. mccrone has tried to put himself in the center of european and u.s. efforts to end of the crisis in ukraine since late last year and only began campaigning in earnest about a week ago. recent polls show his lead over far right candidate marine le pen is narrow. the only goldman sachs banker to go to trial has been found guilty of all charges for his role in the epic looting of the malaysian funds. he faces up to 30 years in prison. in 2020 a goldman unit admitted it conspired to violate u.s. antibribery laws and pay more t

of ignoring the election, macron has been heavily involved with foreign affairs, with the eu, g7, and natoover the war in ukraine. now his attention turns to domestic matters with little room for error. our correspondent is at macron headquarters. reporter: convincing the french electorate is the aim of emmanuel macron's campaign. a second round that moves like an even closely -- macron has already trips to key areas, but he has his work cut out the it the election is increasingly looking like it will hinge on disappointed voters. while other defeated candidates have said they will vote for him, third-place candidate jean-luc melenchon has not. with one third of his voters thought to be supporting marine le pen, macron knows all is still to play for. it remains to be seen over the next two weeks whether or not those who voted for other candidates or did not vote at all will be convinced. mark: marine le pen herself was on the campaign trail this monday. she is facing macron in a round two face-off for the second successive election. she resumed campaigning this monday. that is basically no

against the background of putin's horrendous aggression in ukraine, the g7 and nato have decided to steprts on the issue of sanctions and weapons. the uk is imposing a ban on all imports of russian energy resources. we are imposing sanctions on even more banks. we are increasing the supply of weapons to ukraine said that the battle for donbass will resemble the second world war, then ukrainian nazis have it, just like 81 years ago, our army will be driven to the west. answering a question about the supply of western weapons, kuleba said that weapons, like money, love silence, in order to get it, ukraine had to break three walls. nato was first a wall. we will not give weapons, then we will give them, but only light weapons, a third wall, offensive weapons. now the fourth wall is left, its time, according to the kuleba of ukrainian statehood, is catastrophically small. and at the very end, the newspaper nirtimes today reported that because of russia, the alliance has split into two camps, according to poland and the baltic countries, it is necessary to completely break off relations with

that is, it is not needed, but a global nato is needed and the g7 should become the economic lever ofo well, the global global sphere of the atlantic alliance, of course, is cool. who endowed the north atlantic alliance they can endow themselves with the functions of a global security organization, whatever they want the international community will not agree with this, but here we must return to your question about the world order, because it is very complex and they themselves are different. this is characterized even by western colleagues, who should be in one. uh, so to speak, five tune, they characterize this one in different ways. and if we look at what is happening in the world, then it must be said that the united nations system, which has been cementing factor yalta-podzamskaya system of international relations operates. and a bunch of institutions that have existed since 1945, well, in the forty-ninth year , ligaments continue to operate after all. nato this is what this is the activism of the very cold war, therefore, when american and british colleagues say that strikes ag

of the trip was to convince europe to impose tougher sanctions against russia on the eve of the g7 and natoh wave of sanctions, the reality is that the money of the west everything still flowing into putin's war machine. this must stop in brussels. i will speak with our partners.

the trip was to convince europe to impose tougher sanctions against russia in anticipation of the g7 and natoegotiations, we need to announce a new tough wave of sanctions reality is such that western money is still flowing into putin's war machine. this must stop. in brussels , i will talk with our partners about banning russian ships from entering our ports. to take tough measures against russian banks and block the new industries that fill putin’s military treasury, gold also called for providing ukraine with new military assistance, the one that the ukrainians themselves ask for, anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, as well as ammunition for them, especially there are not enough missiles for american complexes javelin and stinger toughness is the only thing that will work putin has escalated this war this approach is vital for him to lose in ukraine and we see the complete withdrawal of russian troops and the strengthening of ukraine's strength at the negotiating table. truss, promised to continue sending humanitarian aid to ukraine and also announced the creation of a special fund. they

in the face of putin's appalling aggression in ukraine, the g7 and nato are stepping up our efforts onre sanctioning more banks, and we are stepping up our supply of weapons to ukraine. but amid this latest show of diplomatic support for ukraine, allies are expecting russia to launch a fresh assault on the east of the country. and there is a warning the conflict could grind on for many more months or even years. in the here and now, nato says it is sending the most effective weapon is possible to ukraine. we know there won't be any nato troops on the ground or any nato planes in the skies, so what does that leave? we can expect to see more anti—tank weapons being dispatched and more surface missiles. overnight, the americans have said that they have begun training some ukrainian troops on how to use the specific drones that can take out tanks and some suggestion that more armoured vehicles could be sent to ukraine, potentially british ones, something borisjohnson has been musing about in the last few days. sanctions as well are a big weapon at the west's disposal but president zelensky

things that we are hearing coming out of ukraine is very much focusing minds, and then meeting of g7 and natoek, britain is leading the charge. so britain will be calling for tougher sanctions on russia. borisjohnson and president zelensky are very close, and the uk government are determined to end the west's dependence on russian oil and gas, and call. this is causing problems in europe because germany are very much reliant on russian gas, but liz truss is saying she wants to send more weapons and we need to impose more weapons and we need to impose more sanctions and stop this western money basically flowing into the putin's war coffins.— money basically flowing into the putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it — putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being _ putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier _ putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier for - putin's war coffins. dan, is this a case of it being easier for britain | case of it being easier for britain to call for tougher sanctions, particularly when it comes to energy, because we aren'

she talks about the g7 talks, the nato thoughts, due to happen later this week, and she also talked aboutanctions. she said money is still flowing in her words from europe to president putin's war machine, so she is calling on her counterparts around the world to do more. also, in terms of those weapons, again, she says that ukraine needs the weapons that it is calling for, because while we see those scenes in places like bucha, those images of bodies lying on the streets, and the places that russian troops have pulled away from, it is perhaps easy to forget that heavy fighting is still taking place in many other parts of this country, particularly around the east of ukraine and the south of ukraine, places like mariupol, where we know that thousands of civilians are still trapped, while the fighting continues, ukraine needs those weapons and liz truss says she will try and make that happen. puma try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, _ try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank _ try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank you - try and make that happen. anna f

we just hate everything russian. after the nato and g7 summits, they held a summit of eu leaders, toirst time the us president was invited as a guest. europe now cannot even hold its own summit without the us president. i don’t understand at all why it was necessary to arrange this circus, just the leader of the eu had to ask the white house to send them the finished text of what they agreed on and the old man. gas purchases would not have to be pulled anywhere, so that countries would not compete with each other in the gas market. so to speak, we decided to buy a warehouseman. they will soon start buying food together, and then centrally distribute the ceiling among the countries of europe, and if there is food in europe , then there will be nothing to cook it now. the prime minister of italy said that europe does not expect a decrease in gas supplies from russia. now the most famous in world, the russian word of three letters is gas. oh guys, how hard is it for you to sit on two chairs at once with one skinny european ass? you yourself said that you would soon abandon russian oil a

to meet this week, the g7 foreign minister and nato foreign ministers we need to introduce tough newns reality is that western money is still funding putin's war machine and this needs to end in brussels with partners. we will go even further and try to ban russian ships from entering our ports. let's try to crush the russian banks. let's try to crush those sectors of the russian economy, thanks to which putin has the money to introduce hostilities. let's try to agree on a detailed schedule for the refusal of oil and coal from russia sanctions please, no emergency security council, the uk has blocked. well and in continuation of talk about fakes, ukrainian nationalists in the port of mariupol destroy foreign ships from the smoke recorded on the turkish asb ship. officially reported by the people's militia of the dpr why am i talking about fakes? the people's militia of the dpr fears that ukrainian nationalists will try to extradite him, and so he is on foreign ships in mariupol for attacking the armed forces of our country with you. russia will be back in a minute. the world shuddere

mrjohnson told the house he had just come from a virtual meeting of g7 and nato leaders, at which it alliance would be stepping up its supply of heavy weaponry to ukrainian forces. our long—term goal must be to strengthen and fortify ukraine to the point where russia will never dare to invade again. natalie, i am natalie, iam pretty natalie, i am pretty sure that in the last few weeks, and annual background has told his voters he needs to stick around for the benefit of the effort in ukraine. borisjohnson is the only g7 leader that has been to kyiv. i'm sure mr zelensky doesn't want him to leave office. so is it imperative that he hangs around? office. 50 is it imperative that he hangs around?— hangs around? well, i mean, i think it's fair to say _ hangs around? well, i mean, i think it's fair to say that _ hangs around? well, i mean, i think it's fair to say that boris _ hangs around? well, i mean, i think it's fair to say that boris johnson - it's fair to say that boris johnson has had a good war. up until the 24th of february, borisjohnson literally seemed to be overt in many aspe

he talked about solidarity with ukraine and support, unity among the allies in nato and the g7.nd at the same time, germany certainly faces pressure from the government in kyiv, washington, and other partners to do more. when it comes to weapons, what olaf scholz has been saying is there is no point in delivering weapons that ukraine cannot use immediately. the emphasis is on other kinds of support. germany, he says, has delivered as much as it can in the way of weapons from its own stocks. he's really only talking about antitank weapons, light weapons, ammunition. he said that kind of support will continue but he is not, it seems, talking about providing heavy weapons directly. the kind of thing that ukraine says it needs to defend its territory. instead he says that germany will help to finance and do the logistics and presumably provide the export licenses and so on, but in terms of actually sending tanks and helicopters, that's not going to happen. brent: there appears to be a lack of clarity around the extent to which germany would help ukraine with weapons. why is there? >

in the face of putin's appalling aggression in ukraine, the g7 and nato are stepping up our efforts onbanning all imports of russian energy, we're sanctioning more banks, and we're stepping up our supply of weapons to ukraine. let's get the latest and go to lviv in western ukraine and our correspondent anna foster. how much time do people have to flee the donbas region because that was an urgent call from officials. do we have intelligence on when the russian attack might be? it have intelligence on when the russian attack might be? it depends who ou russian attack might be? it depends who you ask. — russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some _ russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some say _ russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some say it _ russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some say it could - russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some say it could be . russian attack might be? it depends who you ask, some say it could be a | who you ask, some say it could be a few days. but i think most analysts seem to agree it could be a

package of eu sanctions will be considered and g7 ministers, foreign ministers will be holding their meeting to agree on the next round of sanctions and also the natosterial will be taking place. so in a couple of days, we will see whether the message has been heard. but i want to make it clear again, we are grateful, but i know what i'm talking about. for a number of weeks, i have been hearing from some countries that ukrainians, we cannot give you tanks because tanks is not a defensive weapon. and my point is simple — any weapon used by ukrainian army in the territory of ukraine is defensive by definition. so please, i cannot hear all this excuses any more. we need action to stop the war, to win the war, to liberate territories, and to save people's lives. on a point of detail, then, on the question of weapons supply, you've described it as a "mystery" as to why you have not received the warplanes that you'd hoped to get. mig planes from poland were promised but didn't come. have you, in the last 2a hours, had any indication that that might change? at this point, i will not disclose the outcomes of my talks, neither with poland nor with any other

meeting within the next year, defense ministers will meet before nato summit in june, and i look forward to joining you, olaf, for the next g7t. we face the new reality created by putin's invasion. i know that britain and germany will meet this challenge together, as passionate advocates of democracy and freedom and both committed friends of ukraine. thank you. over to you, olaf. ch. scholz: ladies and gentlemen, dear boris, thank you for having me at downing street. we have been beating over the last couple of weeks. the last time we met was in brussels in g7, and i'm happy we now have the chance to discuss together here. [speaking german] kailey: that is german chancellor olaf scholz speaking beside boris johnson after they held a meeting at downing extreme in london. we heard from boris johnson about the attacks on the train station in ukraine earlier today, that attacking civilians is a war crime, and that the u.k. in germany agree on the importance of weaning ourselves off of russian oil and gas. that continues to. be the question for germany in particular. guy: germany has resisted at almost every turn but ultimately h

nato and the u.n. and the g20 and the council of europe and the g7 were made for, what is the point of these alliancesto stop this? the world cannot sit by as vladimir putin continues this reign of terror. >> tucker: okay, the mixture of total self-assurance, utter ignorance and self-righteousness is dangerous, ukraine is not even in nato, tough guy. it does not matter, the world can't stand by says all the best oc, they say what should we do other than be horrified? aaron mate asks alan bell sheet for verification and says, how do you propose they act? what are you calling for her, and he was at least honest enough to say it's "direct military involvement oh, what would that look like, how many people at msnbc would see that? zero. how many people in america would die? potentially many thousands. but it's not just velshi talking this way, it's all over cable news, all of our cable news and certainly all over msnbc. john spencer calling for american troops to start shooting russians right away. >> i know what i am saying, i served for 25 years. i served to protect the innocent. we are the leaders of t

. >> reporter: nato leaders will meet with the g7 in brussels continuing conversations how to help on in the wall street journal, don't let vladimir putin win in ukraine. dan heninger joins me now. what would be a win for vladimir putin? >> one things that would be a win for vladimir putin is what is being talked about, the head of the joint chiefs of staff, general mark millie saying the conflict could go on, quote, for years. that is the frozen conflict and that will allow vladimir putin to grind down the ukrainians and over time, i am afraid it is possible the world's attention woodway and if this were to go on for years. in that case vladimir putin by being able to keep grinding down, shelling these cities would be a win for him. stuart: the other side of the coin is to stop him winning we've got to go into ukraine with the idea that we can supply weapons to let ukrainians push the russians out. that would be beating vladimir putin. is that what you have in mind? >> that is what i have in mind. this idea that we don't want to go so far as to, quote, provoke letter report. he looks

if this is not the kind of moment that the united nations and nato and the un and the g20 and to the council of europe and the g7 were made for, what was the point of these alliances if not to stop this. the world cannot sit by as a vladimir putin continues this reign of terror. nbc news chief correspondent richard engel has more from kharkiv, another city fearful of what's to come. richard? >> washing troops have suffered a catastrophic defeat outside of kyiv, pulling back from not just areas around the capital, but the entire province around kyiv. russia says it pulled back in order to give peace talks a chance, and more momentum. but it pullback under fire. it was forced back. they've taken heavy losses from ukrainian troops suffering many many casualties. and now that russian forces have left the area, and have left civilian towns and cities, ukrainian troops have been able to go in and see the atrocities of russian forces, which have been carried out. there have been bodies laying on the ground, many of them appear to have been killed execution style in close range, some with their high hands tied behind th

. >> nato foreign ministers are set to meet in the next hour or so. but first, foreign ministers of the g7 are set to sit down this hour. just a short time ago, we saw the arrival of ukraine's foreign minister dmitry cue lepa. making clear the best way to help ukraine fight the russians is with weapons. >> the more weapons we get and the sooner they arrive in ukraine, the more human lives will approbe saved. the more cities and villages will not be destructed and there will be no more buchas. this is my message to the allies. it's very simple and i call on all allies to put aside their hesitations, their reluctance, to provide ukraine with everything it needs. >> cnn correspondents are covering this conflict from a number of angles. we have fred pleitgen in kyiv. matt rivers in ukraine. delia gallagher in rome. brian todd standing by in washington. first up, special ukrainian army unit is helping to target and destroy russian tanks and military vehicles. just a few months ago, most were civilians who flew drones as a hobby. a warning now, our report from fred pleitgen contains some graphic

and as long as we say, never again, and as long as we have nato and the european union and the council of europe and the g7st conversation with ourselves about the fact that either we mean it or we don't. now, the valid concern here from a lot of people is that, what does more look like? what does military intervention look like? are we headed to and engaging in world war iii and getting into direct combat with the russians, and will that trigger a nuclear response? and look, these are all valid questions and valid criticisms, but the conversation now has to happen because if we witness, if we bear witness to these atrocities that we are seeing and the daily shelling and the targeting of residences and schools and hospitals, and we just say, hey, this is really bad, we condemn it in the strongest way we can, not sure we're living up to our promise of a world order which is meant to secure us and to keep citizenry safe of invasion and this kind of death and war crimes. >> and that -- in this country, the highest levels, the national security advisor brief today and fielded questions on what is and isn't gen

the g7, we'll discuss some ways we can mitigate the war's impact on the most vulnerable people around the world. >> you're listening to tony blinken. he is in brussels. there's a big meeting of nato foreign ministers under way. as secretary blinken noted earlier today he met with ukraine's top diplomat who offered this take. this was his take on what he needs from nato. >> how many buchas have to take place to impose sanctions? how many children, women, men have to die, innocent lives have to be lost for you to understand that you cannot allow sanctios fatigue as we cannot allow fighting fatigue. >> nic robertson is there in brussels live for us. you hear secretary blinken given the long list of what the united states has done, but the ukrainian foreign minister says, thank you for all that, but he wants more. will nato give it to him? >> that's the big question here, john. the reason it's a big question is because nato secretary-general jens stoltenberg was asked that. just a couple of days ago we were hearing ukraine would be supplied with tanks, armored fighting vehicles. but when stoltenberg was asked to be specific about what ukraine is going to get, he wouldn't be specific.
