china and russia regarding belarus. i think that in a certain way, in the coordination of positions, it is clear that the emphasis is economic for the chinese and political for the kremlinevertheless, china can be more active to work in the political field of mr. yaroslav in the light of the events of the last few days and the events in machylyshchi and the minusing of one of the aircraft important for russia, which was nevertheless located on the territory of belarus, lukashenko called a meeting accordingly the other day, literally yesterday security forces and er, on our broadcast, experts on issues of belarus note that er, lukashenko was too calm, that is, despite his impulsiveness, if the consequences of this attack were really catastrophic, then heads would fly , there would be such a historical manner of presenting questions and claims and so on, he said everything it was very balanced, instead, we would like to ask you what the current situation is in the relations between lukashenka as a core regime and what kind of power bloc is this regime? well, firstly , it is part of this regime, and secondly , it actually serves it, well, in fact, you are in the question w

what china is the kremlin biggest ally in the last year. it has turned up in support of russia there, bilateral trade expected to balloon, to do $100000000000.00. and this proposed piece plan being hand delivered is expected from one g to president putin, from president change in pink. so moscow has been welcoming the proposal of peace, but it has also been a very insistent in the last few days on what it sees before a precondition to peace as an a successful when a successful wind for the special military operation as it called the ukrainian invasion, taking out what it calls new nazi forces and bringing back, crushing speakers to rushes forward. so both sides are being pulled apart on what seems to be the prospect for peace and what a negotiated settlement might look like. in the, in this morning, we've heard on the anniversary, the deputy chairman of russia security council, dmitri met fidel, saying that russia has to achieve victory in its special military operation. and it will continue to pursue it, even if it has to go to the polish

we, uh, are waiting for, uh, the chairman of, uh, the people's republic of china, on a visit to russia, talks in the kremlincontinued without the presence of television cameras. undoubtedly important, but even more important will be the meeting between the leaders of russia and china evgeny shershnev anna kol. ka anastasia matveeva news today i published a new article, which is dedicated to the long-standing cooperation between the american and norwegian intelligence services. as the winner celebrates pullet of the soviet prize stretches. it has been measured even less since the vietnam war, when the scandinavians helped the cia conduct covert operations. so it was not by chance that washington turned to oslo when organizing the terrorist attack on the nord streams, but, in the meantime, russia achieved a discussion of the sensational materials. hershey at the level of the un security council although the states tried in every possible way to prevent this from the usa and about the fact that they found their own correspondent valentin bogdanov in the usa, they did everything so that the investigation into t

china's support for russia's actions. i think it's not so much lukashenko resisting the kremlin's pressure as he feels china's support, and since china, judging by everything, clearly did not support the entry of the belarusians into the military conflict that and lukashenko manages to use this to resist the pressure of the kremlin . tomorrow, lukashenko is leaving - he will fly to heaven for a few days. do you think it will be a visit purely with some economic plans? what can lukashenko be anyway? after all, by some exiled cossack from russia in order to once again discuss china's participation is not direct but in the war with ukraine is the economy here? and of course lukashenko will talk about political issues and economic and migration and energy issues. i think that there is a whole complex that it is clear that first of all he will try to secure his interests and secure agreements with the prc, but i don't i rule out that the topic of russian aggression against ukraine will also be one of the main topics . well, all the more so since they have a topic that unites them, this is china's vision of solving the russian-

dialogue with china we, at the level of diplomats, conveyed this signal to china its western experts see the fact that the kremliny terminating the agreement with the states on nuclear deterrence, opened the way for china to increase its nuclear potential as a special it is quite possible that the chinese government sees the fact that putin withdrew from the nuclear agreement as a window for opportunities to increase its own nuclear potential, on the other hand , territorial integrity remains a painful topic for china , because the country has been trying to regain the island of ivaniv for years, its independence is recognized by only 13 un countries, but its strategic partner of the united states and until now it was a key deterrent factor against the military invasion of china, so to recognize in any form the russian annexation of part of the ukrainian territory for china means the tectonic shift of foreign policy is why until now beijing , without condemning the kremlin, still called for respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine within the internationally recognized borders. they are cre

the kremlin has welcomed china's initiative for peace talks in ukraine, but moscow says there are no conditions for peace at the moment. the war in ukraine has entered its 2nd deer magnitude 5.6 quake has shaken the city of manor t i. n. eastern turkey. a one person has been killed in carmel mirage in more buildings. there have been destroys molly tubes. foreign minister has arrived in turkey to assess the damage halls by earthquakes. sammy shall pre met with a turkish foreign minister in the port city of marcin. earlier he held talks with serious president bush halifax, in damascus. it's the 1st time a top egyptian diplomat has visited turkey and syria. in more than a decade. u. k and e u leaders are holding tanks to finalize a deal for northern islands, post breaks it trading arrangements. the european commission president or sullivan de leon is in london. she is meeting the british by miss or is she so not to discuss the details of the northern island protocol? disputes about the deal have prevented a government from forming in northern islands. at least $62.00 people, including 1

as i mentioned, china's top diplomat coming to moscow. that is pretty crucial for the kremlinurse, those talks taking place with evaporating trust, the u.s. accusing china of considering sending lethal weapons to russia, remember at the same time china needs to try to sustain its economic relationship certainly with europe and certainly with the u.s. as well. so, again, these are times in which the positions that people are taking around ukraine are beginning to signify where each country kind of stands in the world. that's how much of a global picture this really is at this stage. it's not just about ukraine -- it is about ukraine, of course, it is about russia, but it's also about a changing international picture. >> every year we watch that speech closely, but maybe much more closely tomorrow than we have before. keir simmons, thank you. we appreciate it. >>> shifting from the optics in moscow to the ones in washington, d.c., i want to bring back msnbc senior political analyst matthew dowd. matthew, the president is facing a couple of big challenges as he heads into the 202

. >> keir, the kremlin announced china's foreign minister is set to become the first senior chinese diplomatwhat do we know? >> reporter: we're waiting to find out when wang ye will arrive. i think the issue will be that there's little trust by the west and particularly by the u.s. in china. i think what the chinese are trying to do is trying to present this idea of them leading the diplomacy, trying to search for peace, but at the same time the u.s. saying that china is kind of behind the scenes considering sending lethal weapons to russia. so there seems little signs of that kind of diplomacy working out. i will say wang lee will arrive in moscow to a city still economically -- you can see the traffic, despied the plunging traffic, sidewalks covered in snow, there are people out and about. it's a city that is still economically surviving. there are predictions that russia's economy will grow, only by a small amount, but will grow this year. russia is a big country. moscow is not the only story. that's an aspect of all of this that president putin will get confidence from as he tries to wai

. >> and this morning vladimir putin meeting with a top chinese diplomat in the kremlin as china denies reports that it may be sending weapons to russia. still, putin says they are reaching new milestones and there may be a meeting in the works between the russian and chinese presidents pretty soon. let's begin with president biden meeting with members of what's known as the bucharest 9. cnn's chief white house correspondent phil mattingly live in warsaw. phil, we just listened to the president's fairly brief remarks. what was your takeaway from his comments? >> reporter: i think what's most interesting about what the president is doing today, his final event before heading back to the united states, is what's happening behind closed doors. this is expected to be a lengthy meeting between the president and the nine members of the bucharest nine as well as the nato secretary general. for context here, i think everybody paid attention to the stunning secretive, surprise visit to kyiv. everybody was watching the speech yesterday in warsaw. i think these are all connected. but this meeting

that's a drop of more than 17 points from the previous year before the kremlin's invasion beg began. for japan/chinaelations, although the two countries marked 50 years since normalization of ties last year, the result also decreased. only 11% of respondents said that relations are good, which is a 3.5 point fall. the two nations face a number of concerns, including the senkaku islands issue. japan controls the islands. the japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of japan's territory. china and taiwan claim them. regarding relations with south korea, over 28% have a favorable view, up nearly 10 points. south korean president yoon says he wants to improve ties with japan since taking office last ma >>> the philippine justice secretary says the government may not be able to deport a group of suspects to japan all at the same time. the four men are suspected of being involved in a recent series of robberies in tokyo and other parts of the country. >> we will be deporting some people when they're available to be deported. maybe two of them will be deported ahead of the others, the

putin today was hosted by the head of the foreign affairs commission of the communist party of china in the kremlin media published footage of the meeting wangi and putin are sitting at a small table and this picture is very contrasts with what was shown earlier during the last two years, only a large eight-meter table is used for the meeting with putin, as the experts miss it, it was done specifically to show that the russian leader feels safe next to the chinese diplomat. well , at this meeting with the head of the office of the central committee of the communist party of china -for foreign affairs, he then stated that cooperation between russia and china is very important for the stabilization of the international situation, which, according to him, has become more tense. this statement was made after his in his appeal to the federal assembly, according to the audience, putin only intensified the rhetoric and blaming the west for starting the war. she is the dean of the faculty of international relations at the university in new york . too much and a prompter but it was clear that he liked it, h

china. beijing cannot give the kremlin what it does not have because china does not produce advanced semi conductors russia needs. nearly 40% of the less advanced microchip russia is receiving from china are defective. the economic size of our correlation has been critical in enabling actions to go after the elites that enable hoodlums regime. through multilateral fora like the repo task force, the repo task force has frozen or blocked billions of dollars in ill-gotten gains. going forward the breadth of this coalition is what will enable us to continue to isolate russia. we will force those that fail to employment to choose between economic ties with a coalition company to represent 50% of gdp or providing material support to russia. an economy becoming more isolated every day. under the president and secretary yellen's leadership we have new tools and approaches to degrade russia's economy. immobilizing russia's central bank reserve and imposing a five -- a 5% tax on oil shows these are working. the price tax operates by setting a ceiling by have much russia can charge for products created using s

some are doing know yet what the kremlin view is on the china's proposal. but just before this a couple of days ago, we heard from the chinese top diplomat to one year who was in moscow, they did not discuss the specifics of the plan because it was going to be unveiled today on the anniversary. but we've heard a cautious welcome from the russian side, which says, from the foreign ministry, seeing that they look forward to this plan and look forward to working with china. but the caveats being that as this plan comes into place, both sides remain miles apart on what their worship of peace is. we've heard from the deputy a chairman of russian security council dmitri method of and if i can just give you a quote of his statement on the anniversary where he says, this cannot be allowed to happen. that is why so important to achieve all the goals of the special military operation to push back the borders of threats to our country as far as possible, even if it is the borders of poland, to destroy new, not to them completely. so russia is doubling down on its stun

one generation of murderers of the people, when the dictatorial regime in the kremlin will be destroyed, what does china'smean for ukraine, and which was brought closer, calmly talk about it further on the air with political scientist volodymyr fesenko volodymyr fesenko, a political scientist, is now on the phone again, volodymyr, congratulations , volodymyr, so many events have happened in the last week, but in our conversation with you, we want to start off from the president's press conference and from some of his messages that we heard from the film "the year" by dmytro komarov, which was released in the national marathon. tell me, please. we drew attention to the phrase that zelensky said that putin will be destroyed by his own entourage. meanwhile, various sociological studies indicate that the elite is not so strong and the entourage is so disappointed . please analyze this statement of the president, which your data and your research and your observations show, i do not have our own data on russia, apart from those that are open sources , we analyze, of course, of course, the analysis of what is k

kremlin's narrative that in this war our ally is only the west. although there is still room to move. with whom to work, for example, india and chinabstained during the vote . the latter generally rolled out its so-called peace plan on the anniversary of the great invasion. before the federal meeting, who were the kremlin's signals aimed at? oksana dvoretska analyzed the scenario. china's new game for peace will predict what beijing's peace plan means for kyiv. china will start supplying russia with some weapons. putin's nuclear threat to us strategically defeated kapets, it can affect the war in ukraine, there is no understanding how the war with ukraine ended this week, simply incredible attention was focused on the peace plan of china, which after a year of the war in ukraine decided to enter the game, but what kind of game is this and is it acceptable for kyiv and what role is assigned to moscow in it, to understand, let's start with the events in russia, where the adviser went and where they expected sensations from putin, because he did not address the federal assembly for almost two years, we are just afraid to talk about it

the us perceives china as a number plan and is skeptical, said us permanent representative on nato julian smith . the prc is accused of political support for the kremlin. the state department is concerned that china plans to supply russia with weapons does not exclude this and the military expert baltic security foungetion gland grand from the very beginning of their existence they bought equipment from russia, so theoretically they can simply return what was once bought from the russians on the battlefield, you can see the bmp-1, made in the 60s, the chinese, most likely, have a large number of old weapons, there is no storage, and also those that they have modernized themselves, they can send it, adds that at the moment china is restrained from transferring weapons, it is possible to go from kovalenko says that if the chinese do transfer weapons , they will have to train the russian mobilized, they can also send them to storage warehouses, storage centers , there is no problem with the training of new crews and units, because in they now have this problem, they are now mobilizing resources, they do not have professional crews in china, and artem dya

kremlin. they represent the security councils of china india iran as well as several former soviet republics locatedn the central asian region, according to the russian leader. in afghanistan, it still remains a hot topic despite the state of affairs in other hot spots in the country, in addition to the terrorist threat , a humanitarian crisis is growing, several million people need urgent help , and drug production is growing in parallel. it is clear that the situation in the country is not getting better. we see this, the humanitarian situation is aggravating millions of people 4 million, according to our data, approximately. uh, afghanistan needs urgent humanitarian assistance. uh, growing uh, drug trafficking. e, and. uh, unfortunately, uh. cultivation areas are growing . hmm, we are on vkontakte, uh, how much is there, in my opinion , 80%, and five-fifths of the world market. it is of afghan origin. putin stressed that moscow understands that the situation in afghanistan is complicated and that everything possible is being done to find a way out of the crisis, the russian leadership has already

and that is when vladimir putin met at china's top diplomat, wong ye, at the kremlin. do we know what these 2 gentlemen are? what they talked about and what are the objectives of these 2 powers? well, put in is a keen to show that he isn't isolated brands. so i think for him, the importance of this meeting was much greater than for a. he's a chinese gast, china's importance to russia has been constantly growing since the 2014 annexation of crimea by russia and the introduction of western sanctions against russia. the russian government has been turning or shifting the whole russian economy from west to east to china. and as for china's interest in moscow, we see that as senior chinese diplomat has been traveling to russia to talk with like the putin about the arguably most important political issue, the warning ukraine that china caused by the way ukraine crisis though. however, china wants to mediate and show, especially to the united states, to president biden, that it remains a reliable international partner and to reject the accusations back. beijing would support

was the top diplomat from china at the kremlin yesterday? >> i've seen those reports. we're going to leave it to russia and china. we've been clear where we fall on this and where countries around the world fall on this. china wants to have it both ways. china purports to have this veneer of neutrality. this patina of neutrality. but at every step of the way, whether it's economically, politically, diplomatically, whether it's through their propaganda, the prc has been anything but neutral and china has buttressed their ability to wage war in ukraine. we've been clear since the earliest days of this war at the highest level from president biden to president xi. my boss, secretary blinken, sat down with the top diplomat in china over the weekend to relay that message. if china decides to provide that lethal assistance, there will be severe costs. >> why do you believe that they might be deciding to do that? why have the secretary to go out and say publicly we don't want them to do that? do you have underlying evidence that suggests they're preparing to do so? >> we do. w

be analyzed in detail taking interest of all sides into account the kremlin declines to talk about the u.s. media report saying china is considering transferring drones to russia. the kremlin is saying it is wired worried about the situation in moldova that situation is one they are watching the kremlin is concerned by the situation in breakaway moldova region this is the key concern if we were to get a cease-fire in ukraine in the coming weeks, it would potentially have significant implications with the precedent. if we freeze things now, it stands for substantial losses for ukraine and that implies moldova. the u.s. has warned china against sending any military support to russia with national security adviser jake sullivan warning of real costs if they provide weapons. nbc's brie jackson has more on the story. brie, bring us up to speed what do we know about china's plans and potential involvement in providing military support to russia >> reporter: good morning, julianna three sources tell nbc news that china intelligence suggests that china is considering providing weapons and ammunition and artillery to russia

china. >> appetites of the autocrat cannot be appeased they must be opposed autocrats only understand one word no no, no >> the kremliny after meeting with russia's top national security and foreign policy officials yesterday the wall street journal reports mr. putin will extend an invitation for china's xi jinping to come to moscow. beijing has billed itself as something of a mediator in a ukraine conflict, circulating a so-called peace plan to provide an off ramp for talks, but western allies are increasingly skeptical. nato's secretary-general called that proposal quite vague. andrew >> kayla tausche, in washington, d.c. this morning, appreciate that report very, very much. we're going to keep our eyes on all of this and see how it -- market doesn't seem to be impacted by this. >> not yet saw the headline in the journal, putin and -- >> which one >> the nuclear, the most recent -- >> right. >> nuclear pact, we're not going to pay attention i don't know where it all leads. kind of scares me. i never thought we would have a global pandemic. >> do you think the market is supposed to -- how do you price this in? >> the

opposite of what vladimir putin has done, and we hear china expressing concern about the attacks on civilians, and has been a deliberate strategy of the kremlinth. so these are good things china is calling for, let's hope putin listens and let's hope they call for him to withdraw all forces from ukraine, that would end the war real quickly. the un general assembly voted on ukraine earlier, were you surprised at the countries who abstained? some of these votes are fairly predictable. it was the general assembly, but i think this is important, it really does show that vladimir putin and the kremlin are more isolated than they have been in a long time. russia is weaker, and he's getting more of the thing he most complains about — that is a stronger and larger nato and more western combat power in eastern europe. so he's not looking like a strategic genius as many claimed in the past. it is one year on since the start of the invasion of ukraine, what is your assessment on where ukraine is at? i think to defeat the russian invasion, ukraine really needs two things, they need the continued determination and bravery of its citizens and they need wes

china. and we know beijing's top indefinite one he met put in at the kremlin, was that relations between beijing and moscow will not be influenced by other countries. newton also said he's looking forward to welcoming china's president. she's in pain to visit moscow. was with us. so back over to you, you're a, what do you think beijing's objective is here? what is the importance of this meeting? of course for moscow is obviously much greater than from being put in his keen to show that he isn't isolated. as were china's objective. there are, we see that a senior chinese diplomat has been traveling to moscow to talk with the russian president, which means that he obviously raised issues that need to be clarified before the chinese president's visit to moscow. you mentioned that such a visit has already been announced, thought and this issue could only be russia's go against ukraine, and china wants to mediate and show to the world and above all, to the united states. that it is a reliable, international partner. and also very important for china is to show that it isn't going to supply russia wit

that russia has lit, so i hope china listens to what we say and what other countries say and refrains from any intention to support the russian armed campaign, mr. kremlin , we will talk about this with the expert of the ukrainian association of chinese studies dmytro efremov mr. dmytro i welcome you to our broadcast, the other day the chief diplomat of china went to moscow, now we see lukashenko flew to beijing , so what is the purpose of these meetings the russian leadership meets quite often, they constantly coordinate positions and this is very important to notice because russia needs diplomatic support from china now on the international stage. through such regular conversations, they mutually reinforce each other , and china continues its diplomatic line to provide support to russia, although officially not to russia er, as a participant in the conflict , there were no complaints from chinese diplomacy against russia, but regarding lukashenka's visit to china, i do not think that this will be a means of circumventing western sanctions the fact is that almost the same sanctions that western countries impose on russia are duplicated almost every hou

yesterday when comrade told you that it was supposedly on behalf of china, but in fact it was on behalf of the russian federation at the kremlin's announced the so-called 12-point peace plan, this 12-point peace plan is not chinese , it is a purely foreign plan that china agreed to announce on its own behalf, reinforce it with its authority and weight over the states and, so to speak, continue to promote this kremlin plan. the key point there is the ceasefire along the current line, i.e. the freezing of the conflict, see the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky literally yesterday at a press conference with the prime minister of spain petra sanchez noted that the fact that china started talking about ukraine is, in principle, a good signal in his opinion. i know the general things of the document. i did not see it. it is too early to make a diagnosis in this document. in general, the fact that china started talking about ukraine is very good. these are the first steps. and this is not bad, but the conclusions we will do it when there will actually be detailing, there will be specifics and so on . well, today we received, afte

opposite of what vladimir putin is done, and we hear china expressing concern about the attacks on civilians, and has been a deliberate strategy of the kremlinso these are good things that china is calling for, let's hope that putin listens and lets hope they call for him to withdraw all forces from ukraine, that would end the war real quickly. the ukraine, that would end the war real quickly-— real quickly. the un general sally voted _ real quickly. the un general sally voted on _ real quickly. the un general sally voted on ukraine - real quickly. the un general. sally voted on ukraine earlier, were you surprised at the countries who abstained? == were you surprised at the countries who abstained? -- but the un general— countries who abstained? -- but the un general summary. - countries who abstained? -- but the un general summary. somej countries who abstained? -- but i the un general summary. some of these are fairly predictable. it was the general assembly but it was the general assembly but i think this is important, it really does show that vladimir putin and the kremlin are more isolated than they have been in a long time. russia is w

, do you have allies in russia now, well, at least there in moscow, in the kremlin they say that their ally is belarus, china is obviously a partner, are other countries partners, or are they allies, that is, is russia at least an ally of belarus, even legally, russia and belarus form a union state well, according to this, it is legal but i mean from the fact that how are these relations are developing between them, can we say what kind of allies are these? well, it seems to me that over the last year these relations have grown more into a kind of internal occupation, which the belarusian opposition has been talking about for more than two years, but in fact, these integration relations between the states come on and on. i think that it is possible that in the near future we will see the full integration of the belarusian and russian armed forces. a very powerful russification is active on the territory of belarus. although it has always been very strong, but recently it has become even stronger and lukashenko manages to keep control over the situation inside the country . no , not in the near future, maybe

china has brushed off the u.s.' concerns that beijing might be contemplating supplying arms to the kremlin's war efforts, taking a swipe at the biden administration. >> translator: we would like to emphasize once again that the comprehensive strategic partnership between russia and china has never been directed against a third party, and is not subject to interference and provocation by any third party. >> reporter: while beijing says it wants a political solution, vladamir putin is drumming up support for his military operation, trying hard to keep the russian population motivated for a battle he deems existential. jake, vladamir putin doubling down on that message once again tonight. he sent out a video message for russian forces, claiming the russian troops in ukraine are figing against what he calls naziism in ukraine. he also promised new and modern weapons for those troops. clearly not the words of someone who appears to be backing down. jake? >> fred pleitgen in moscow. thanks so much. let's bring in senator roger whitaker, the top republican on the senate armed services committee. you wrote last week "the unite
