it would impose the harshest sanctions on putin and senior kremlin officials themselves. it would effectively cut russia off from the international financial system. that's the sanctions that i helped devise that ultimately bought iran years ago to the negotiating table. this act also makes clear that the united states will make every effort to expedite security assistance in defense articles to help support ukraine, and it expands our efforts to counter kremlin aggression across the region. it says the united states will not stand for this bullying, and it makes clear that putin has a choice to make. but we are not voting on that comprehensive response. we're not voting, i should say, on how severe the consequences should be if putin goes down the path of invasion. instead we are voting on whether to sanction nord stream 2, as if that alone would deter putin from reinvading. as if that alone would stop him. instead, mr. president, sanctioning nord stream now at this pivotal moment would have the opposite effect of deterring putin. it might even be the excuse putin is loo

are the kremlin said that putin kremlin spokesperson, rather saw that they said that putin has seen are the u. s. and the nato, a response, and that he would hold consultations and respond at a later date. and it seems that the kremlin wants to take some time over that response. they pointed out that actually nato and the u. s. took around a month over a month in fact, to respond to russia's demands. but also, i, of course, you know, the u. s. and nato here, yesterday, rejecting russia's main demand for a stop to nato's eastern expansion. the kremlin today said, you know, that their views are not being taken into account. i think that, that responds, was hardly a surprise for russia. they, i think, went into these conversations about security guarantees. essentially, knowing that the west could never agreed to no further nato expansion towards the east. and they've been hearing that in the last few weeks in various rounds of talks from various western officials. i think the strategy going into this was really to play a high stakes game of poker, almost bargain a little bit too high and

but the question really, paula, is even if there was a kremlin plot to try to install p pro-kremlin leadership here in ukraine, how would that work? how would they actually successfully seek to install a pro-kremlin leadership here? this is a democratic country with elections. would this happen in the context of an invasion? we simply don't have many answers. but at the same time as i said before, it's certainly not, you know -- it doesn't seem far-fetched at all to believe that russia would be seeking to increase its leverage in the political system here. we know, of course, as well, that the u.s. treasury sanction, several individuals just earlier this week saying that they were involved in pro-russian efforts at the behest of russia's security services to try to destabilize the ukrainian political system and one of the people on those sanctions is also mentioned in this foreign office statement, as well. there does certainly seem to be some agreement between the u.s. and the uk about russian efforts to destabilize ukraine, politically. >> yeah, it does follow a certain script. a script that

. ., . ., , kremlin.se . discussions actually take place? kremlin. how much of these - discussions actually take place? how likely is it that the us would have asked russia to arrest them and russia would complied?- asked russia to arrest them and russia would complied? well, that's the question- _ russia would complied? well, that's the question. there _ russia would complied? well, that's the question. there is _ russia would complied? well, that's the question. there is certainly - russia would complied? well, that's the question. there is certainly the i the question. there is certainly the high—level talks between president biden and president putin this past summer in switzerland. it was a topic of discussion at the g7 in cornwall and between that date and now my understanding is that there have been very regular senior discussions between the national security council staff here in the us and senior russian officials. almost on a weekly or biweekly basis as i gather. but i suspect and here is there

i believe that in kremlin, they didn't make their decision yet. and i hope they will continue the diplomatic and political negotiations with nato ally, and i hope they will not come through our border. the united states warned just the other day that russia may well be preparing not necessarily a straightforward military operation, but something much more complex, involving false—flag operations, that is using their forces to pretend to conduct operations on the behalf of your government. also, cyber attacks — and we did see a major cyber attack on your government's online activities last week. do you believe these are all connected? yes, i believe, i do. i think that they started the campaign for destabilisation in ukraine. so i think that cyber attack was a part of hybrid war, which was started, as i mentioned before, in 2014. so the hybrid attacks is a part of a hybrid war. and i think that the main goal of kremlin to make mess in ukrainian cities and trying to change the political power in our country. minister, you've been talking very tough

but of course, the prize for the kremlin would be nato offering not to expand, promising, not to expand. and that has remained a non starter from, from the very beginning. so while there is a slight glimmer of hope with the the normandy talks agreeing to go on in 2 weeks, there really isn't a lot of hope on this side that these letters are going to satisfy anything the kremlin wanted. emily no surprises, as terry says, no concessions to russia's main demands regarding ukraine and nato. how is this going down in moscow where we have yet to get an official reaction from the russian foreign ministry and also from the kremlin? and actually, it's interesting to note that bloody mir putin has been conspicuously quiet on all of these talks. and in the last few weeks actually for around a month, we have had a reaction from the deputy head of russia security council to meet the media. so you might remember, he was president here as well for a few years, and he said it was only the talking and dialogue that could mean that the 2 sides could avoid war. so kind of a conciliatory tone there. of cour

it's hard to see how the kremlin does that without losing face. and we know that's not something that likes to do. and what about the options for the west moving forward, if going to war over ukraine, is out of the question? should the us, they though, should they arm ukraine heavily enough so that it can at least make another russian incursion, at least uncomfortable and ugly for the kremlin when the u. s. and the u. k. have been doing that already. and i think the ukrainians on that point are fairly relaxed. i mean there's some things that they haven't received, such as, i don't know, patriot missile defenses or mankind, stingers. but at least that's what i'm reading. i'm. but i think the ukrainians are relatively well equipped and trained to fend off anything sort of short of a massive full scale invasion and still not clear that that's what the russians are gearing up. and i think the more important thing to understand here is that for anybody who has like me, that you did mention, my ed lived through the yugoslav wars of 990 s. when i was a r

but the west is refusing to budge, and so the kremlin is keeping its troops in place on the ukrainian border. russian sniper is ready for action near the ukrainian border. just some of the military exercises being carried out by moscow, as it continues to threaten its neighbour. russian troops have been massing along the border for weeks, has tensions between the 2 nations grow. the satellite images taken at the beginning of december had already stoked fears that moscow was planning to invade ukraine. over the last few days, there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity as the u. s. nato and the e u. each tries to avert a war. but so far it appears to have come to nothing. cities, oliver, it was obvious from the beginning that the position of russia was unacceptable. it is not take a diplomacy genius to realised that russia's proposals were difficult to accept for the western world. going among the kremlin says it's defending itself, and it wants guarantees that nato won't expand its military alliance eastwards. but it's also warned, it won't hang around. we have reasons to believe tha

the kremlin says there was little optimism freezing tensions with the u. s. and nato, after both rejected russia's key security demands. the kremlin insisted on legal guarantees, barring ukraine from joining nato and the withdrawal of nato forces from eastern europe. russia has mass more than a 100000 troops on its border with ukraine, fueling fears of a potential invasion. for these soldiers, the threat of war is a familiar one. the ukraine, an army has been fighting, rush him back separatists in the countries east for more than 7 years now. but their story in the face of the late as escalation to the foster mother. but still you should not be panic hot. but if you do, while a wounded person is crying and swearing, it would be a fiasco if you panic to go. i. so we need to stay calm, play them all other thought was cut on his voice via in the streets of the capital, key of some residence, struggle to keep their spirits up, his widows. i am hoping for a peaceful solution. i can't even talk about this without trying. i am for peaceful negotiations reward. on th

now the kremlin says there was little optimism that de escalation is possible, but the 2 sites are still talking and there are hopes that they can still reach some sort of agreement to dial down tensions. here's what russian foreign minister survey lever offset. suca said suzanne you'd as for the content of the document, there is a response loop which gives hope for the start of a serious conversation. you on secondary questions would be a move in this document alone, there was no positive response to the main question. so was, it's usually new aluminum, of course. the main issue is our clear position on the admissibility of further expansion of nato to the east and the deployment of strike weapons that could threaten the territory of the russian federation with lucy's good fugitives. let's bring a dw as terry schultz is standing by for us and brussels. hi terry. good to see you . so the, you, with the nato delivered written responses to russia, security demands. and it wasn't what russia wanted to hear, was it? it wasn't what russia wanted to hear, so me, but it's certainly what russia

that glockland could be next in the kremlin site is no longer unthinkable. for swedes watching, the russian government continued to escalate your bit like a game of chicken were one of the drivers rush on this case as you're stronger steering wheel out the window. so we're having to unfortunate to some kind of crush in my view, defense minister hook, this believes the country has enough friends to feel safe, even without being a member of nato. we have deep grace with united states who have us, you care. so we're a close partner, we are a night to partnership. we have not nordic solidarity doctrine and we also have a solidarity doctrine in the we're p and union. but being a partner to need. oh, doesn't provide the guarantee of new school defense that allies get. and which poor johnson had of the swedish parliament's defense committee feels his country needs. we can hope we can assume we can wish that we get the support from nato, but we cannot no longer rejoined alliance. a recent poll shows an increasing number of swedes support nato. membership, but that s

and nato just before christmas, had to conclude that what the kremlin is pursuing here wouldn't let me put in is pursuing here is no longer just neutrality. or finland is ation for ukraine, but something much, much larger. and it is really the rolling back of the democratic transformation of the former countries of the war. so pack that are many of whom are now members of the e. u and nato. that's a really big deal. it is a big deal. and when you consider what is at stake is germany. it is europe's voice, or the as loud as they should be in these discussions. i mean, i'm wondering, are washington moscow talking over berlin in brussels? yeah, there's 2 paths to this question here. the question is, are the americans trying to listen to us? and do we have anything to think on the former point? i can tell you and you probably have seen it yourself for the white house about a week ago. published a list of their phone calls and meetings with a senior politicians across europe, and i think it had about a 100 entries. so i think that question is fairly summarily answered on the unfortunate

i think it's really hard to know of what the kremlin actually wants. at this point . many experts said that they went into these talks on with these demands that were very harsh out, no eastern expansion. and that they must have known going into the talks that was essentially a non starter for the west, which is what we've seen this week. and so i think that they were perhaps just trying to bargain high bargain hard and see what they can get all the while showing the west that they have red lines. and that those red lines and concerns need to be respected. now they've issued this demand for a written response from the west, and i think that perhaps is also a strategy to buy the kremlin time. the foreign ministers and deputy foreign ministers that we've heard speaking this week and who have been it at talks will now be coming back to moscow. will presumably be speaking to putin and will be consulting on what to do next. all the while they're waiting up for a written response. i think that for the russian side, this is part of a long process where they want essentially

the kremlin repeatedly deny plans to invade ukraine despite massing some 100000 troops on its border. instead, it's blaming the west for causing tensions. here is russia's foreign minister sergey la rav speaking earlier. brooklyn new good. did you know who it is? buford, which out? exaggerating with local hours and colleagues are in some kind of military frenzy of them are going up, my gosh, they only talk about one thing among the grizzled punish. you know, you will a type of girl. we will punish you and save ukraine. it won't be pretty and you've got the rose up, which was for the murderer of so was it. so the west is using all these hysterical statements to make their position claim newman. we are ready for any developments you cigarettes, your food. we did not attack any one of those. we have been attacked little force and those who did it thought legit served every time. are you on the hood so therefore, i will not speculate about our western partners. you will so your bush, they are weak and apparently, as i do not really know how to get out of the am pass into which they have g

and that's certainly one of the goals that the kremlin had. i think with all this, do you see this as the when i know you set that? but i mean, is this, is this the face saving solution for the kremlin? i think it's hard to know because on the one hand, i think russia has issued this demand of no more nato expansion eastward, so many times now in the last few weeks and months. and they've said that they want that as a written guarantee. so it sort of seems hard to imagine that they could kind of step back from that. but i do think the most important thing for russia now is, as i said, to be at the table for the west and nato to take russian concerns seriously. and to kind of include them in discussions on a new, perhaps a new architecture on european security. that's at least what we heard in kremlin statements today that, that, that they want to be part of those discussions. and we did hear from the nato general secretary today, that there could be some discussion of perhaps, mutual guarantees on stationing missiles on each other's territory

the kremlin says that response is unacceptable, though it's possible to continue with talks. meanwhile, the ukrainian foreign minister has reaffirmed kids commitment to diplomacy and de escalation. that's despite the kremlin nothing more troops on their shared border. ukrainian, absolutely committed to this to can, to preventing the conflict. we are not planning any offensive actions. we are committed to diplomatic trek, and we are ready to engage with russia at different levels in order to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict. however, if russia decides to fight, will fight and that this is our country, and we will defend it. will. after a talks in paris, russia says advisors from both sides, plus france and germany have agreed to receive as far as should be in place in eastern ukraine. but germany has warned that an invasion could lead to sanctions that would affect the nord stream to pipeline courses. jabari had the latest for moscow, would be hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pascall, who says that there isn't really much. i'm point of being optimistic at this stag

the talks are expected to be difficult. western countries fear that the kremlin could be planning an invasion of ukraine. moscow, meanwhile, says it feels threatened by the u. s. and the nato expansion on both sides have played down hopes of a break through u. s. president joe biden on the phone with moscow in december, on a business like call that was meant to ratchet down tensions over ukraine. the u. s . has threatened severe economic sanctions if russia invades an adviser to russian president vladimir putin pushed back after the call. such sanctions would be a colossal mistake that would entail grave consequences. a lot of mistakes have been made over the past 30 years and we had better avoid more such mistakes in this situation. russia is already under sanctions for its 2014 annexation of the crimean peninsula. weeks afterwards, pro russian groups seized parts of the dentist and no hans regions on ukraine's eastern frontier. near the russian border. the government launched a military operation and the long war began in earnest. meanwhile, thousands died in shelling and fire figh

calling among the kremlin says it's defending itself, and it once guarantees that nato won't expand its military alliance eastwards. but it's also warned, it won't hang around a shoe. we have reasons to believe that our partners of understood the necessity to react quickly. precisely and on paper. and they have understood that we are not going to wait forever suits. of course, there are plans to drag it on and on the shoes, which is 2 things have already been dragging on since rushes annexation of crimea. in 2014 keith's army has been fighting pro kremlin separatists increased in ukraine for those ukrainians. living close to the russian border talks seemed futile. the summer this summer, i see no reason to negotiate with russia, the aggressive country with those people who fight against us. now, i can't see anything positive in this needed to put a table with them. as the russian build up of troops continues, it still looks like there's no real sign. a compromise can be reached. in earlier dw spoke to undress ross, a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations, and he told
