i'll, i'll, i'll cite your conversation that i had with the chair with communities munich, security conference that's highlighting the fact that it's, this is a difficult one for washington as well. that in effect, european allies had to pull their weight. because right now, we know that washington is lifting the heaviest food and when it comes to support for ukraine, ukraine's.

that is why the former head of the munich security conference, wolfgang schingschinger, in an articlen, proposed to provide ukraine with all the possibilities of a nato member without accepting it into the alliance. in addition, according to the ex-diplomat from germany, the composition of security guarantees for the kiev regime can include a bilateral agreement with the united states , canada and european countries. they have to to promise that financial and military assistance will be continuous and long-term, on the other hand, it is worth blackmailing moscow with threats to supply kiev with one or another long-range weapon for strikes on russian territory, ischinger adds. the maximum prolongation of the conflict is beneficial to large arms corporations the united states points out independent american experts a very small community that for generations determines washington's foreign policy enjoys the support of the military-industrial complex, with it closely linked, commodity companies and banks the only chance to break out of this vicious circle is the reality. the german newsp

let's hear what bernard henri levy said about helping ukraine i was recently at the munich security conferencepresident macron. i have there were many meetings, but i don't know. what is the real atmosphere in the french government is influenced by many parties and the opinions of these influences are varied. some very strongly call for the appeasement of putin, and some, including me, call for continuing to support ukraine, firstly until the victory and secondly, as soon as possible, my only goal is to convince americans, french europeans, to help more and faster, and when i see, for example, what is a project for a tank factory that will be ready for operation a few months and ready for delivery in a few more months. i'm getting desperate too late too late. i don't know what else to say, because, as european leaders, they are also subject to different influences. around him, who think in america there are people who think it's come sincerely believes in the need. the most interesting he is now talking about the need to influence america first of all, not france, he thinks first of all how th

publish information that ukraine is offered an alternative to joining nato, the former head munich security conferenceroposal to strengthen the security of ukraine without the need for the country to join nato the strategy is to strengthen the war aid to kiev in response to russian shelling ischinger also proposed to give ukraine the right to take part in nato summits as a permanent guest without the right to vote aleksey so that in general it gives the main high chair, this is called you fight, die, but, uh, to our big european happy rich family. you are not still the internet is not enough, that, not that, that there are poor relatives, but in general the servants, the servants should sit in another room. sometimes you want to serve something on the gentlemen's table. here is their e status, which is now formed e hmm for ukraine they, e, nato leadership of the alliance, they were not going to accept ukraine at all. it was such, uh, dream control methods. here they formed this dream. we will accept in the european union we will accept ah. in nato, we will give you salaries, european officers will rec

settings we also sat with the negotiating team donald trump's negotiating team with the tab at munich security conference. and also hurt the capitol of the republican leadership we were able to sit down twice. read two luncheons with the president gone he and his whole team. after the agreement had been signed to withdraw by the trump administration with the taliban but prior to actual withdrawal. oddly enough i was elected on september 11, the day of the attack so soon as i arrived in washington, d.c. is a new member of comoros afghanistan was of the top of our list of priorities. during my time in congress i have lead or participated in over 20 kudos to afghanistan, mr. sopko and i are old friends. we have done a lot of work. mr. sopko you are an honest broker in all of this. you've seen enough of me. every single cordell i did was with democrat and republican members. i never ever and i know sometimes people do this but i never ever went to afghanistan without republican members as important and participating members of those congressional delegations. so, mr. sopko there was a suggestion we were a hi

rob and me and a few other people, the whole world thought, all these people at the munich security council -- conference, it was only can a last two weeks. he went down there and said, we are here, we are here. he got his country to go with him. he got the world to go with him. if he would not have done it, putin would not have just invaded ukraine, there was no stopping him. remember, it wove people -- will people from their slumber about what it means to be a democracy. as hard as it is, that is still there in our psyche. so, those kinds of things,a nd people having moments of kindness in reaching out, seeing each other again, whether it is high school sporting events, parades being at things now, where i see tons of people, that is going to change things. that makes people see each other and have an opportunity to debate and see someone he really did not think he wanted to see again but maybe there ok. those kinds of things we have to get back into that if we are going to have any kind of a democracy in a civil society. those are the things that give me hope as i look at what is going on. the final t

course of international specifically think it was new york, i saw him in munich at the munich security conferencehich she was invited to. >> according to leaked audio provided by that "new york times" you had told him israel attacked iranian assets in syria at least 200 times and you would reveal such sensitive information. that's according to leaked audio now under oath you stand by your previous denial that ever happen? >> that absolutely. on the date that report came out we made it crystal clear in the release that we put out that never took place. it was at a time when there was a public discussion of those attacks. it was in public circulation. i do not know what he is confusing or what he did but i can tell you i never had that conversation. and i can tell you that in five years running with the largest prosecutors offices in america, two years as lieutenant governor, and 28 years in the senate, as a member of the intelligence committee, nobody ever question for this is right and raise that issue. would you find appropriate a former trump administration official traveled around and talk to

and here is what the head of the munich security conference said.of ukraine to nato at this stage of the conflict is out of the question. this would lead to a direct involvement of nato in the war , since then, under article five , there would be an obligation to help it, however, the vilnius summit should make it clear that ukraine belongs to the nato family, we should use the nato ukraine advice to discussing the conditions for a possible full membership of ukraine, it must not want to see ukraine at the common table and pointed it out to ukraine that its place of servants should serve all members of the north atlantic alliance . but sambo secretary alexei danilov well , for some reason, does not want to hear refusals. he is accustomed to blaming and blaming everyone. now the western partners of ukraine in that they are so beautiful, the maximum is to become members. alliance, it is written in our constitution, we will be the thirty-third member of nato, i am sure the problem is that the textbooks used by almost all students who graduate from west

something that i said i spoke aboutin something that i said i spoke about in february at the munich security conferencend i'm security conference. and i'm highly confident that very quickly what you will see is other countries signing up to that same pledge . it won't just that same pledge. it won't just be the g7, it will be others. and if you take all of that together , i think what you've together, i think what you've got is actually president zelenskyy's words are probably better than mine to describe it. but he's just described it by saying that the outcome of the vilnius meaningful vilnius summit is a meaningful success for ukraine and that he is bringing home significant security victory for ukraine, for his country and for its people . those are president people. those are president zelenskyy's words about what this summit has achieved for him and for his people. and i'm very proud and everyone should be very proud that the uk has had a leading role to play in that outcome. and with regard to your other question about all, i'd say is, look, i am absolutely laser focussed on delivering for the b

i was in munich at the security conference earlier this year and there was a real sense, a palpable sense that this is an important year to really turn the page on the war in ukraine. if they're at the same poison next year at this point, if they think that the support in their own countries may have have to shift. i think the u.s. will have to push on the kind of offensive right now and try to make sure that them and europe are on the same page right now, because the political picture looks a little murkier come next year. i think that's why you're seeing the investment in ammunition right now, and that's why you're seeing the white house use this uk meeting as the kind of first step to make sure that they have a europe that's on the same page, going into what's going to be a very sequential year, especially before an election. the white house is thinking about this next year, as way to -- as a key moment for the war, because they don't want there to be a push back domestically on the amount of investment they're doing over in europe. so they're going to hope that this year really turns

them and allies are doubung with them and allies are doubling down in their support at the munich security conferenceltimately help end this war. and today we have delivered together with our g7 partners, we have agreed to provide the long term bilateral security commitments that ukraine needs. these commitments mark a new high point in international support for ukraine. and i want to be clear, they are not a substitute for nato membership . the summit nato membership. the summit communique echoes the uk's long held position that ukraine's future is in nato. and we've taken a big step this week to bringing ukraine into the alliance together , we've alliance together, we've shortened their path to membership , shortened their path to membership, removing the shortened their path to membership , removing the need membership, removing the need for a membership action plan and holding the first meeting of the nato ukraine council with president zelenskyy sitting at the table by our side as an equal. the table by our side as an equal . and finally, i'd like to equal. and finally, i'd like to say a word ab

munich at a conference of western leaders. >> (speaking german) >> and so he comes to the security conference in munich and says, basically, "mince words, do i? i can say what's on my mind." and then he, he just lashes out, and he lists all these resentments. >> (speaking russian): >> my head snapped. it was so searing and blunt, and i, i felt this was the real guy. >> (speaking russian): >> putin echoed cold war rhetoric by accusing the u.s. of making the world unsafe. >> narrator: the speech was a turning point-- a sign of the aggressive direction putin would take. >> putin clearly, in this speech, was drawing a line and saying, "we're not going to try anymore. "we're just giving up on you. "and we're going to make our own world in which we are the master." >> it's one of putin's harshest attacks on america in his seven-year term. >> that speech in 2007 is the anchor point at which he tells us the europe he wants and the international order he wants, and he has worked towards since then. >> narrator: he had positioned himself as a strongman and set his country on a course towards conflict and war. >> he sees himself as res

it began even before the start of a special military operation in munich at a security conference, he status in his fairy tale about undermining russia zaporozhye s. it seems that no one believed after the iaea either. nato has already stated that they do not see the risks of an attack on the station that russia could arrange a provocation , the former cia agent filgeralding also strongly doubts. why? tell me, for god's sake, he thinks he can convince the world that russia will blow up a nuclear power plant, when it is more likely that he will do it himself by the nato meeting in vilnius , absolutely you hit the mark. he just hopes someone will do something really stupid and come forward in vilnius and give him all the help and money he wants, which is really troubling still active employees of the cia is the attempts of the keel to get off the leash, even if washington is off the mark. not touching the zaporozhye nuclear power plant does not mean that kiev will obediently execute the command, and the problems with discipline in ukraine, the american weekly newsweek wrote a large arti

declaration of the g7 allies that provide long—term multilateral security, guarantees, something that i spoke about in february at the munich conferenceing up to the same pledge, it won'tjust be the g7, it'll be... if you take all of us together, you have got is, president zelensky�*s words are probably better, the outcome of the vilnius summit is a meaningful success for ukraine. he is bringing home significant security, victory, the ukraine, for his country and for its people. those were president zelensky�*s words about what is the summit has achieved for him and his people. i'm very proud, as should everyone be, that the uk has had a leading role in that outcome. with regard to your other question, i am absolutely laser focused on delivering for the british people. their priorities are my priorities, having inflation, because that is the best way we can ease the burden on them and the cost of living. cutting waiting lists, people shouldn't have to wait as long as they are currently. that is about simple fairness and everything else, most recently, you could see is delivering on that yesterday in parliament. passing some of the tou
