and we understand that the us ambassador john sullivan has gone to the russian foreign ministry in moscow. and also we are expecting a statement fairly soon from us secretary of state on the blink and on the situation between ukraine, the u. s. nato and russia. in the meantime, dosage a body has the latest from moscow. certainly not clear from the foreign minister. they haven't specified in their keeping of course, their cards very close to their chests. as you can imagine, they just said that they are prepared for any scenario. their russian foreign minister was briefing the members of parliament in the duma here on wednesday where he gave them an update of where things stand. he also spoke to journalist following that meeting, where he stressed that as the russians are awaiting a response from the americans, and that there is no reason to believe the americans will delay this response. and then they will decide how to proceed. that's the official line from here, and we've also heard from a number of m. p.

that was shortly shortly after the american ambassador john sullivan visited moscow, visited the foreign ministry here and delivered america's answer that came 2 weeks after it was expected. but blinking also. anthony blinking also said the u. s. was open to dialogue and everything, but this is at the same time that he says that this is the dialogue is only going to be possible with russia stops, and so called aggression. at the same time that nato is strengthening its military positions on russia border. at the same time that us military advisors are still in the ukraine and they continue to receive weapons from western countries. so, diplomacy isn't looking to all that great right now. looks like a round one has just just finished, and it's not up to a good start, as you say, don't know, quarter. thank you. let's learn a little bit more here on the program on our t international. enjoy martin mccauley and author and russia. analysts discuss this latest development here. martin. great. the. so you good afternoon to you. what do you make of the russian foreign minister statements just no

john sullivan who recorded ashli babbitt's death and then sold his videos to media companies, you know, he has been charged. but he had a knife on him inside the capitol, but yet at the same time, he's not being held in jail. there's so many issues here like the man that was on the scaffolding ordering people to go into the capitol. where is that man? who is he? why hasn't he been charged? then there are reports of people wearing earpieces but not just one. i've seen reports of many people wearing earpieces. who are they? why were they wearing earpieces? what exactly was going on? why wasn't the national guard there? that's what i really want to know. i was a brand-new member of congress, and the national guard wasn't even called in and nanci pelosi didn't give permission for them to be there that day. >> laura: well, there's certainly a lot of video that's not been released, and a lot of information that's not released, but maybe they're waiting to, you know, august of this year right before the mid-term elections. that's their entire campaign. i want to get your reaction to congressm

ambassador to moscow john sullivan reiterated this morning that russia will face massive consequencesconomic sanctions if vladimir putin decides to invade ukraine again. sullivan also said that the white house is still waiting for an official response to its written answers to russia's security demands. but added the document lists potential areas for progress, potential ones, including the placement of missile systems in europe as well as military drills there. >> it comes as russia is warning this morning that it sees no room for compromise on its central demand that nato pull out of eastern europe. cnn national security correspondent kylie atwood joins us from the state department. the white house made it clear that both nato's response and the white house's response were on the same page. and you hear from russian officials and they call the u.s. response the gold standard, so much in terms of what they were hearing from nato. i thought that was interesting. >> the state department has heard what russia has been saying over the last 36, 48 hours, after they received this written d

ambassador to moscow, john sullivan, who takes a very different approach. you might expect the u.s.or in moscow to try to talk in diplomatic gobly guck. instead this. >> it's extraordinary. it can't be explained as an ordinary military exercise. i understand what the russian government has said publicly that it has no intention to invade ukraine, but the facts on the ground tell a much different story. it's the equivalent of, if you and i were having a discussion or a negotiation, if i put a gun on the table and say that i come in peace, you know, that's threatening. and that's what we see now. >> that may all well be true, but it is remarkable to hear it come on the record, on camera from a senior u.s. diplomat in moscow. >> yeah, we're seeing this scratchy kind of language coming, as we've heard from zelensky, the president of ukraine. now the u.s. ambassador to russia. they're trying to signal pretty obviously, in a very unnuanced way the position of the united states and her allies in europe which is to the kremlin, we know what you're up to. the difference of interpretation as

ambassador john sullivan left the foreign affairs ministry after delivering a written document that secretarye antony blinken said reiterated a core us-nato principle. >> i can't be more clear, nato's door is open, remains open, and that is our commitment. >> but that is the very commitment russia demands the us break, as it deploys equipment and 100,000 troops to ukraine's border. back in december, russia demanded that nato close its open-door to other european countries, including ukrne, and roll back all its forces and weapons in europe to 1997 levels. giving into that demand would rewrite decades of u.s. and nato policy, and the map. in 1949, nato's eastern border was italy. by 1997, it had added 4 more countries, for a total of 16. since then, it has grown to 30 countries, including those on russia's border. in 2008, nato said ukraine and georgia would become future members. >> there is no change. there will be no change. >> but the u.s. is offering mutual limits on eastern european exercises like these, poland, and missable claimants by reviving the defunct intermediate nuclear forces t

out this morning as you said with my colleague john sullivan, we did a deep dive in ron klain's first year. he came into this job with a glittering resume. everything you might want in a white house chief of staff, and look at what some of those shortcomings were in his first yer and he had a tremendous influence on joe biden's first year and i would say everyone says that joe biden still has the confidence in ron klain and his chief of staff, the president said last week, he has no plans for a staff shakeup but i think there is a harsher spotlight on ron klain in recent weeks as the administration gears up for year two which is a difficult year given the midterms are approaching and some of the criticisms that we focused on in the story most exquisitely looked at his relationships with key democrats particularly on the hill, house speaker nancy pelosi or west virginia senator joe manchin, both whom are critical to anything passing through congress. >> klain in particular has been tasked with managing relationship with the more progressives, those voices on the hill, and certainly the

u s ambassador to moscow john sullivan on wednesday delivering the biden administrations written responserussian ministry of foreign affairs. saying it's now up to the kremlin on how to proceed. the administration keeping the details quiet, although congress has been briefed, we think that diplomacy has the best chance to succeed. if we provide space for confidential talks, all told, it sets out a serious diplomatic path forward. should russia choose it? however secretary of state anthony blinken clearly stating there are core principles the u. s will defend , including ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the right of states to choose their own security arrangements and alliances. last month, russia issued their list of demands, including vowing to keep their neighboring country from joining nato. the us though maintaining those demands are unacceptable, threatening severe consequences , including economic and potential personal sanctions against vladimir putin if he invades this, as russian troops continue to amass and hold military drills along the ukrainian border. but

what if ray, and this man on the scaffolding and john sullivan and other bad actors like them, would've that caused a member of the press to get killed -- what if that had caused a member of the press to get killed? what kind of responsibly would you be placing on the fdr any kind of federal agency if the member -- if a member of the press had been killed that day because of violence that they had caused the action? this is a serious question. you will work here every single day just like we do. you walk these halls. this is the place where you gather information and do your job. so your safety was also at risk that day. if our federal government was involved in doing so, i think that is something that you should be very upset about. >> do you think the man that through the fire extinguisher was a federal agent? >> we are not here to litigate any particular case, we are no one's lawyer or advocate. we are here to speak to the conditions that existed on that day. to the civil rights of people who have been deprived access to medical care, religious services. we are not going to get into

. >> i want to read you something that america's ambassador to russia, john sullivan, said this morningon. if i put a gun on the table and say that i come in peace, that's threatening. sullivan told reporters, and that is what we see now. my question for you, miles taylor, is, all of this always comes down, according to experts, to putin will do what putin will do. president biden said, nobody really knows what that is, including vladimir putin. what does an administration do with, you know, in that sort of madman strategic framework where you don't really know what the adversary is going to do and there's a sense from intelligence, people around him don't necessarily know either. >> well, you know, i suspect ben might agree with me here on this point, that when it comes to vladimir putin, if it walks like a duck and if it talks like a duck, it's a duck. they're amassing forces, you know, several months ago, they said it was for an exercise. this is not for an exercise. this is for an intended invasion, right? a bank robber doesn't walk into chase bank with a ski mask and multiple weapo
