while nater, defense ministers are g to meet in brussels. the talks about sending reinforcements to southeast europe. d. w is brussels bureau chief, alexandra von nomine sat down with the us ambassador to the alliance. what's next in the ukraine crisis? is there a chance for a diplomatic solution? let's speak about that. with you as ambassador to ne, to julian smith. hello, met him ambassador. at the you ask, government has warned that a russian invasion of ukraine could happen any time. and still, there is a flurry of diplomatic effort still underway, and now we are hearing from the crowning kremlin that they would like to continue to talks. so please tell us how close are we to war in ukraine? well, as the u. s. administration has made very clear we remain concerned about the build up of russian troops around ukraine's border. we do believe that at this time, russia possesses all that it needs to invade ukraine further invade ukraine. all that said, we have also made very clear to moscow in recent days, in fact that the door to dialogue is

welcome to the program. china has joined russia and criticizing nater expansion. chinese president g pig and russian president vladimir putin. i've been meeting in beijing ahead of the opening of the winter olympics. this comes amid growing tensions over russia's troop build up on it for the ukraine. you statement from the to lead us highlighted that agreement and proposed cooperation on a raft of issues including energy supplies and stepping beta protest, movements little glass, get more from a journalist or fabian crouch, my in beijing. welcome fabian. so talk us through the main points emerging from this meeting. yet the meeting was quite remarkable. i mean, what we expected and what are so many analysts taught me, is that both sides will announce some energy deal, some corporation. but the meeting went far beyond that. the statement was already quite a long, 5300 words and had really strong political message is a message that was mainly aimed at to washington and to some degree also to brussels. so both sides or po, oppose, an expansion of nato, the boss m. o. m a post, the trila

either get a promise from nato to keep ukraine out, or to withdraw troops from those eastern european nater members. so sense that russia is going to keep on escalating until it sees some return on best pressure being applied to ukraine in the west. all right, that was d w 's. nicole nearly bringing us the latest from ukraine. thanks for joining us. here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. canadian police of the gun arresting protesters who have been blocking traffic in the capital ottawa for 3 weeks demonstrators angry about cope at 19 restrictions have paralyzed parts of the city. the crisis is prompted prime minister adjustment for dough to assume emergency powers. wildfires are still spreading in northern argentina after burning more than 6000 square kilometers over the past week. burton sea teams are fighting more than a dozen blazes. they're destroying farmland and ravaging a major national park. the region has suffered months of drought and high temperatures. rescuers in greece have saved 2 people were stranded inside a burning ferry for more than

for instance, nater ukraine's desire to join nato. now, the western allies, the nato alliance have been insisting in their negotiations with vladimir putin, that the idea that nato has an open door that any country can apply to join nato, or that this is a core principle of nato. well, vladimir lensky saying, well, if this door is open, and please tell me if there are any countries who really don't want us because the door is notionally open to them, but they don't see any a progress there. so he actually pushing for a timeline for you trained to join nato around the same time that most a western leaders are suggesting that at the prospect of nato membership, if there is a prospect, a tool is a pretty distant one for ukraine. i think that one example of a lensky sort of suggesting that ukraine feels strong along to some extent or by western powers in the face of this aggression from russia. and you just mentioned also that he knew his audience, who knew he was talking to. did you get a feel, a sense of how his speech was received by t

nater weren't protecting crane military. it's empty, isn't a member, and the whole prospect of ukraine becoming a member was never on the table. and that's the great frustration, particularly of german sansa when i saw it, it says it simply cannot be that there could potentially be a war in europe over an issue that was certainly not going to rise for at least a generation because ukraine doesn't fulfill the basic requirement, it actually has an active conflict. that means it cannot join nato even if it wants to. and even if nato opened, it still was an act of the invited it, which simply will not happen at this point in time. an interesting question that was raised to day is whether sweden or norway, or part of europe, but it are not part of nato would now potentially be able to join in the insulting back said, well listen, there's an open door. it's up to those countries to decide. so what this is really about is not necessarily ukraine simply, but about the right for countries to choose, at which alliance they want to bel

said some of their troops were being sent back to their bases from positions near ukraine's border. nater wars at moscow is actually moving military units closer to the area. nato chief insulting bugs said the alliance is looking to strengthen its instant flank, and that's the russian threat has become the new normal in europe. from heavy rains, flash floods and lands lines.

which i'm talking of course about the drive documents, russia, us, and russia nater, dr. documents. we have been waiting for the response for over 6 weeks. and then we find the receive the response we are analyzing the response by the us and in the near future, you will see how the situation will on the fold in the future. and to day we will send our letter to the american side and the smoke lesson. and like i said before, we're going to publish this letter. i believe it's critically impulse and we, she's for the rest. all interested parties for all interested the people, members of the civil society to know what each of the sides each of the parties stands for. because if you keep it secrets like our colleagues from washington and brussels like to do story, will then was you, public opinion will be filled by lies by i tried propaganda that currently, police washes over the international, the formation space. that is what we see in europe right now. what you, what you hear and treats about the developments on the russian ukrainian bolden, you know, very well how trustworthy and cred

especially since written commitments that require nater, members to fully take into account our interests. not to mention those verbal guarantees, even the written commitments of the heads of states. now it turns out, worthless. it won't work out that way. we will make sure that everything is fair. still, we have such a concept of doing what you say, your deep russian foreign minister there. again, making rushes stance on your train. very clear. ok, thanks, danny. this is danny strong. we also heard from the british politician and naughty host, george galloway, about developments in the russia they to stand off satellites. obviously don't walk when it's about russia and troop movements away from ukraine. but neither do they work when the allegation is that more troops are moving towards ukraine. how difficult would it be for the united states to produce satellite images of precisely that which they allege? the answer is they can't because there isn't, there are no russian troop movements towards ukraine. there are significant troop movements in the opposite direction. the real thing that

decision to place its nuclear deterrence units on high alert. president vladimir putin says it's because nater has in his an aggressive approach. but he's facing criticism at hein for ordering the operation in ukraine. as bernard smith reports from moscow to protest in russia takes a certain amount of courage as it comes with the likelihood that you'll be detained, of violence. this is an petersburg where they were chanting no to war. yet, an independent monitoring group reported protests in 44 russian cities on sunday, including here and cousin and in russia's eastern city of a coast to play in europe cheaper to person. it is a crime by it against ukraine and against russia. you are. i think it is killing me, crane and russia. i'm outraged. i haven't slept for 3 nights, and i think we must now declare very loudly that we don't want to be killed. we don't want any crane to be killed. these have been the 1st significant attempt at nationwide protests in almost a year since the jailing of crumbling critic, alexia valley. moscow, the police are making it very difficult for people to try and prote

imagine for yourself that ukraine and nater members will begin military operations in crimea. what do we do? go to war with the nato block? has anyone thought about that? so the situation is it seems to me both sides refused to budge and flood him. it said it there in a slightly different context. but what do we do? what's versus reaction? been to this must have already sent, follow up questions to this and the document. so clearly there is a desire for continued a dialogue, but most because position on this has been consistent from the beginning. it recognizes, of course, that every single country has the right to determine its own policy and assure its own security thought is not what's being disputed. here. the issue is when countries choices have ramifications beyond its borders and actually post a very real physical threat to someone else. and let's just be clear, a potential nato launchpad located in ukraine is just a couple of minutes miss all away from, from russia. so it's essentially, i think, this fear that really underlies russia's concerns in that area as a bush.

at the worst you there below, under chairman command nater treats have been stationed in lithuania since mid 2017 as a deterrent against russia. but germany's hesitant stance in the ukraine crisis has provoked criticism, including here in lithuania, aromatic development, but canada gear. we live in a region where russia keeps nuclear muscle, sir, that russia has li, had to call short range missiles, miller error, and germany refuses to draw a red line at the sock, on the breast that hold on the linear o civilians. preparing for the worst for these lithuanians, a war in their country is a very real possibility. take a look at some of the other stories making headlines. today. indirect talks between iran and the u. s. aimed at reviving the 2015 around nuclear deal have restarted in vienna. after a break of just over week. officials say the talks have made significant progress under president trump, the u. s. unilaterally withdrew from the packed in 2018 firefighters in oklahoma city, in the us are battling a massive blaze at a construction site. the cities fire department said the fire was

russia. vladimir putin is failing, the russian people as more and more countries are getting more nater, soldiers, more weapons to attack the russian. people perhaps know that that's what's happening . yes. really, when they're talking about aggressive russia, they forget not just about the expansion of nato. it's not the extension of the area of liberty is just the special area of american military presence. and it's on our borders, which was in protest against each such move. but russia was not even listen. i'm not to say that anyone that decided to hear russia. so we came to the red line, and as we're russia is no, not going to step back a bit. so no, russia wants the west to comply with at least nato and neither russia found in, at all for $997.00, which was no troops, no nukes, no new, critical infrastructure, military infrastructure. he's new europe, which of course was violated many, many, many times. and now russia says, i'm friends, get back to the way to the american forces should be and the response is don't, and i can bring them not going to in thank crane. no one is prepare

look at us and the exactly the same or strengthen you elemy who is in nater, who is not in night. so as you have see a strengthen your army. you have to add a better the conditions of this army of your soldiers who might lose their lives or keep their life for their sovereignty. he count on yourself, but we also want to count on the unity on unity of the countries of the european union of countries. later, members of unity of just countries. if you are not align country, because from the security on the bunker on the borders of one country, oh austin, the security of all the concerts could depend you after you. right? when are you members? we not the natal member, but if we have to full blown incursion, an invasion by russian federation, it will, it will become a danger for all other countries. moldova lithuania, latria. god forbid, anton, which had on anyone, but nobody wants a war. nobody wants war grain in ukraine. he, people, once only me, only pass the would you? but we have to be ready for every step of every possible steps, aggression by our neighbors. a thank you. it's all

people rallying, calling for a halt to the violence. thousands of people gathered outside nater, headquarters in belgium, calling on the organization to stop in and the war in taiwan and canada. people also came out in solid derek with the crane many of them ukrainians saying they are worried about their families. similar demonstrations of been held in american cities as well in new york, san francisco, and los angeles. taking out a polish border with the gray would have been many people who have been trying to escape the fight using bas reviews there. and that has been a rise in the number of people trying to flee the fighting. is it intensifies in ukraine? what have you been seeing vain? ela, we appear to be having a bit of trouble there. but of course one is named robbie on the poland, ukrainian border because there are fears about the humanitarian impact this could have. we've been speaking to people inside ukraine throughout the day, airports of traffic jams outside the capitol, kiev, but also many people from different parts of the country trying to flee. not just in terms of finding sh

you gain the join into a red line. moreover, nater deploying its infrastructure, the kenyan soil you with, without even without taking you pain into data is also a red line. so i think it's a very special case. i don't think that we can extrapolate to be said that you would, for instance, sell to baltic states. i think it would be an over exaggeration argued that a hotel might be late in the baltic states or any of the nato countries for this matter. but you can is special, i think on top of that, there is a strong pressure on the present to take an action. because the perception is that we have something like 700 solvent russian citizens living in this area in the, in jeopardy right now. we have to do whatever is needed to protect them. and i think that if you take opinion polls in the rush, at least you'll find out that most of rations would like to have these people defended e. and i think that in this sense, they would probably approve what a fortune is doing, even if they have to pay a certain price for that. ok, we'll leave it there and re cartoon off. many thanks for joining u

arrived in poland as part of a nato deployment. nearly 3000 more us troops are being sent to the region. nater says it's in response to russia's military build up on the border with ukraine. harlan almon is a military expert and senior advisor at the atlantic council. he believes the u. s . reinforcements will change very little putting his after a new strategic framework in europe that protects russia. and he also wants to prevent further nato expansion. and so those are going to be his long term goals. and my guess is that he will use force symbolically to persist in negotiations. and if he stands down at the end of february, as he said he would then he's going to have all sorts of diplomatic leverage because he's going to say to the west, you just cried wolf see. now let's talk. now whether the west is prepared for this or not, remains to be seen, but so far potent has the initiative in the west is not doing enough in my mind to take that initiative away from him occupying ukraine would take hundreds of thousands of forces. so what is he going to do? he marches t f. a. how does he get out?

will russia accept of old that president putin was quite clear that he said it's not us going towards nater. it's nato coming towards us, so you will have something new emerging is very early days, and i think that the moment at least publicly, that doesn't seem to be any compromise between due to size but met. that's where president a monumental michael steps and he has indicated that may be russia had a point, it shouldn't be listened to because this at the end of the day is all unfolding in europe. and maybe those treaties that were signed at the end of the 2nd world war need to be updated to reflect a new reality on the ground in europe. so that is a much larger picture here. and i think ukraine is a bit frustrated and a bit worried that it is left out of the big g. we claim keeps on saying older dive . there is no decision about ukraine without ukraine wanting to make sure that it remains the center of the conversation, which is not always the case because you also have to remember that ukraine and rush, i don't speak face to face. the only format where they speak is it no my d format.
