brent: what can you tell us about the emergency meeting of poland's national security council?eporter: the prime minister called this meeting, it started at 8:00 and is still going on. the polish government has only said the meeng is happening due to an extreme situation but there was no more information given. we are waiting for more information when the meeting is concluded and there is also a meeting of the polish government -- brent: we are looking at pictures of where the emergency meeting is taking place. poland has been very vocal in its support for ukraine, at the same time poland realizes it is a memb of nato. it has been an a very difficult situation. this report tonight, and the possibility that this is a russian missile, what could it do to change the calculation here? reporter: poland is eight nato member and it has been a vocal suorter of ukraine. it has delivered big numbers of weapons to ukraine and has given shelter to ukrainian refugees. there are also nato troops present in polo -- in poland. any confirmation of this event today could have major repercussions

that's from the national security council. now that issue about the next steps. well, the pentagon was asked the question, but it didn't want to speculate, said the spokesperson there. and that is about article 5. now what article 5 is, is something that has been the bedrock of nato since it was formed back in 1949, all 30 members agreeing that should there be an armed attack on one of the members? it's an unarmed attack on all. this is an absolutely central piece of nato's philosophy, and certainly it is something that raises the possibility of why the involvement within this conflict. should these reports prove accurate and should, if at any stage article 5 be invoked, i must hasten to add though, that article 5 is only been invoked once in nato's history. and that was following the attacks on the us in 911. my kind of thank you very much and i'll just there is harry force. it has recently returned from cape, joins me live in the studio. so that we've been in some ways in a situation similar to this before. tell us about the, your experience of, of, you know, h

but to western countries on united nations security council did not understand it on friday. and then like 9 months previous or last best, and we're not open trees, we are we. and we can see that there is no solution on border problems because border problems can be dissolved by both countries. external countries in defense can not resolve this problem. so, but i already, ukraine is in the position that they are losing everything and they are not getting complete support of the not all and united nations security council. so by now this situation is developing that people are the people need, 3 people need it. well, unfortunately, these so many western countries on eastern countries, j to asian do financial pledging. and all the countries are in this disturbance situation and they are looking forward for the new solution that expired during sanction. i feel that there are big country, it is positive time to realize the whole world that new, amazing economy importance is march and other countries can get their benefits and their situation to raise their jade a financial route.

raj panjabi is director of bio defense for the national kits -- security council. he talked about security elements in the strategy during a conversation at the center for strategic and international studies. >> good morning, afternoon, evening. the senior vice president here at the international study. i direct our global health policy center. we are honored to host dr. raj panjabi. special assistant to the president and senior director of global health security and bio defense at the white house national security council. welcome. you are a physician professor, social entrepreneur at a public servant. you previously served under this administration. the malaria initiative, which he led. in 2007, he founded last mile health, which remains one of the most innovative, nongovernmental enterprises in providing community-based health services across africa. raj came to everyone's attention in a gray surge during ebola in west africa, where it distinguished itself in many settings. he was born and raised in monrovia, liberia after civil war broke out in the 80's. he and

but this has automatically triggered a meeting of the equivalent of the national security council inside polish government, who are meeting now to decide how to react, what to say to this dramatic moment. there is in the worst case scenario from many people's perspective a chance that the poles might be inclined to apply to nato for the all for one and one for all type support on a military level with this in terms of wanting to go for retaliation. i think that's extremely unlikely. but this is and will be seen as a very dramatic escalation, a spreading of the war outside the borders of russia and ukraine. alisyn? >> sam, how long will it take for them to figure out where the missiles came from? >> reporter: i don't think it will be very long at all. judging by the the photographs of the debris on site and based on my own albeit unscientific experience it's pretty easy to identify the provenance of spent missiles from the remains of the engine type, what remains of the explosive type, and very often there are at least parts, serial numbers that can at least identify to whom they were ori

confirmed or made an official on camera statement but has been convening and had convened its national security counciling which broke up about an hour ago. the slovakian defence minister said he was very concerned by the reports, and says russia "must explain what happened", and that "russia's recklessness is getting out of hand." that happens to be a council meeting on wednesday which of course will be an opportunity for russian�*s official representative from the ambassador of the un to explain what happened. russia issued this response. no strikes against targets near the ukrainian—polish border have been carried out by russian weapons. it says statements by polish media and officials were an intentional provocation for the purpose of escalation. let's get the reaction in us from the state department. what we do know is the this war has been one that is unjust, it's been brutal, it has affected millions of lives — notjust in ukraine, but across the world as well. and as you guys saw, in response to president zelensky's speech at 620, what president putin did was he met ukraine with another round of

this is just the language used by the united nations in the united nations security council. ready to give a sense of gravitas, to what they're doing. but these tests have been going on for some time. and it's clear why these tests are going on. they are in response to the united states walking away from what should have been a nuclear ization a deal during the trump administration. remember, kim jong on went to hanoi with a deal in hand. it was a deal that he had to wrangle out of his you out of his government. people think that he's a dictator can do it every once, but that's simply not how that system works. he had to go in and sell it hard and he got that same permission, but he got the green light to go forward only to be snubbed by the united states. this is a great loss of face. and then they tried to hold the door open for continue talks for the bind administration, but the by administration refused even in gauge. this is why north korea started doing more tests and more just an effort to say, hey, we're here, take us seriously. they were ignored, so now they've cross

on the brakes, and on the other, to use it to the maximum extent, a meeting of the un security council and the nationalurity council will be held today. poland this plot. it will be the main one, but the accents will most likely shift, there will be no one’s rocket to discuss, and who is to blame for the ukrainian conflict itself, another bill on the allocation of $ 37 billion to ukraine has been submitted to the us house of representatives the incident with the missile will allow this beef to be passed through the congress on accelerated procedures poland and perhaps nato will transfer additional air defense resources to their eastern borders as soon as possible. the tragic incident turned out to be needed by many. if it hadn’t happened, it would have been invented, and the two dead poles well, the foreign ministry and write off will express concern for the dead as usual, the tina news agency today i remember this story exactly a year ago on november 16, poland demonstrated the true face of democracy, weapons, tear gas and water cannons such was the answer to the refugees who went west in search of a

this is the first time that the national security council was meeting later at 9:00 p.m.nian time. we will have official information about that and flat, it is very, very serious. and i think that everyone is afraid to admit officially that it is russian projectiles, because how did you say it means that it is an attack. no, it is not a search, it is an attack . nato and we all remember what he said president biden for some time because he will protect every little piece of nato land, well, this is a piece of nato land, zagybek didn't have time to understand all these attacks that are happening in ukraine and now two people were killed in poland and i was looking for an attack we we are waiting for the yard of the official e-e ian so when we go, well, i take a taxi back from home and taxi drivers only talk about this, all the media only talk about this and everyone checks ugh, the meeting of our ministers will end and when will be officially confirmed well, we too the same we are actually waiting for the first news reports about what could happen in poland that is related

the un security council and the national security council will meet today. poland this plot.will be the main one, but the accents will most likely shift, there will be a draw rocket to discuss, and who is to blame for the ukrainian conflict itself ? nato to deploy additional air defense resources to its eastern borders as soon as possible

as you see we have a guest as you know we have a guest from national security council, john kirby with us today. who is gonna take your questions ahead of the state visit. as you know will be happening on thursday, however first state visit with france. our first state to visit clearly in this instruction that i will start right away and turn over to kirby. all right, john. john: i have a couple of comments here at the top about the state visit. as the first state visit of the biden harris administration is the opportunity to highlight a foundational component of this administration's approach to foreign policy and esther alliances. france is a vital partner and united states oldest allies. major investments in both directions supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs in each country, the defense and security cooperation continues to stand and its vital security all around the world. it is underpinned by our shared commitment to democratic spools, values, institutions, our cultural ties -- democratic tools, values, institutions are cultural ties are of top importance. on the schedule br

. >> i'm victor blackwell, the membership in poland is convening its national security council after reports of two rockets, missiles landing on polish territory and killing two people. >> it is not confirmed where the projectiles came from and who fired them. they apparently hit a farm near poland's border. let's bring in cnn international correspondent sam kiley. he's following this breaking story from ukraine, also with us cnn anchor and jim sciutto, also cnn senior white house correspondent phil mattingly who's traveling with president biden in asia, and we have cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton. sam, you're on the ground in ukraine. what have you been able to learn about this? >> reporter: well, just as we were coming to air, i don't know if you noticed but the lights went out here, and that is because we are now a city that is joining 7 million other people around the ukrainian nation who have been cut off from the electrical supply by this massive bombardment of cruise and other missiles fired by russia against ukraine. now, we know that whilet

security council resolutions. what sort of response can we expect as a result? this is absolutely a violation of the united nations security council resolutions. however, given the political climate, notably between the us and russia currently, but also between us and china, we can't expect any condemnation to come from the security council at this point, much less additional sanctions. so i would imagine that we will probably see increased sanctions unilaterally by the united states, by south korea and japan following suit, possibly also european nations or the european union. i think that we can expect south korea to respond with its on missile demonstrations showing how its forces along with those the u. s. might be able to retaliate against 3 or for this behavior. we can also possibly imagine a strategic assets from the united states and talk to be deployed or to use that to be used in order to reinforce deterrence against young. why is north korea foreign so many missiles of late? i think there's a number of reasons. one of them is the permissive condition that i mentioned earlier, namely that the, the breakd

there is a corresponding decision of the national security council, that's all. it is very simple and possible. well , it is not obvious to many, but it is obvious to me as long as the current political the regime, this war will continue, the question is only in its format, in its tension and, well, dynamics, roughly speaking, and once again, no achievements of ukraine, well, such armed forces in this aspect, in any way, will not, in any way, affect the attitude of russian society to their own power, because their government is what we say is democracy, yes, the source of power is the people in the russian federation, the source of power is not the people, that is, there are other political regimes, others, the mechanics of the dynamics of this regime, no one is interested in whether they support him or they don't support you, you started the program based on what the king said, they said you have to go. well, he said everything and they left, that is, they will go on. well, they will be naked and barefoot in galoshes with sticks, you understand, there will be fo

white house national security council john kirby british journalists previously published a snapshot of the airfield in machulia claimed that there two mig-31k aircraft are based, and next to them the british scouts allegedly examined the container. where, as they suggested, are the missiles stored. however, kirby did not confirm this fact, and also added that washington does not see any interest on the part of minsk in joining the hostilities on the territory of ukraine. meanwhile, britain is in no hurry to refute. there, busy trying to shift responsibility for the explosions at nord stream and the attacks on sevastopol, by the way, today went to the uk without comment. left the ministry of foreign affairs of the russian federation where it was called because of the participation of the british in the preparation of the attacks of kiev in latvia, sparing no means of effort to fight the soviet legacy in the city of ludza. that night, the barbarian dismantled the commemorative arrow to the liberators of the city, they did not officially warn the townspeople about this, everything was

poland's national security council went into emergency session.oordinating with nato. working out exactly what happened is vital. the north atlantic treaty says an attack on one member is an attack on the whole alliance. translation: because of the seriousness of the situation i that we're dealing with, the president has finished a conversation with the nato secretary—general. we are verifying the circumstances under which we might invoke article four. it follows a day of missile attacks on ukraine, one of the biggest since the war began. there were strikes across the country — this was kyiv. most of ukraine's major cities were hit. attacking the infrastructure of the city is a common tactic in war, trying to pressure a government by making the lives of civilians hard. translation: | am against| the war and people have got to remember that you can't give life back. those children who will never see their parents again. the children who will never be born. a generation is being lost. ukraine's president zelensky is calling for action. translation:

now a white house national security council spokesperson said earlier today they were going to support poland in its investigation. certainly they want to allow that investigation to proceed and as we understand it, that is still very much underway on the ground collecting pieces from this missile, trying to put it back together to see what exactly happened. these leaders will want to make sure they are absolutely certain they know where it came from before they come out and say so officially. the reason for that is because poland is a member of nato and if russia were to have launched a strike that landed in poland, that could potentially evoke nato article 5, which is the collective defense treaty, an attack on one is an attack on all. that would be an enormous escalation of this conflict and president biden certainly doesn't want to do that unless he's absolutely positive that that is what happened. now we do know that nato ambassadors are meeting in brussels today. this intelligence will be discussed at that meeting as well. they are considering invoking article 5. article 4 is mut

this was reported by the coordinator of strategic communications of the national security council ofte house, john kerby in an interview with the bloomberg agency, i will remind you that earlier there was information that burns and nareshkin spoke exclusively about the inadmissibility of the use of nuclear weapons on the topic of ukraine, they would according to sources who are familiar with the course of the negotiations, they did not touch, but for several days even in the mass media it was not clear whether they met or did meet. well, let nato, together with its allies , prepare tens of thousands of ukrainian servicemen, and this allowed and allows ukrainian soldiers to so skillfully to resist russian aggression, the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance jenston stoltenberg said today before the start of the meeting of the defense ministers of the member states of the european union which took place in brussels, according to mr. stoltenberg, nato also supports the eu initiative aimed at training 15,000 ukrainian soldiers on the territory of various european countries. b
