nato, well, america's participation in nato, they probably put it there.re, there is a fuse , it will not be easy for him, anyone who wants to do it as president, and there will be a big, serious struggle. unfortunately, this fuse was put, for example, in the land list for ukraine, item 1224 was removed, which i consider to be erroneous. ah... but it just shows the actual, well , real moments, because in principle , there are also risks regarding the amount of weapons for ukraine. great in the case there are not only elections, even focusing attention in the fall of america on internal problems, that is why we are talking about more about today's package, about the fact that funds are needed now, concrete help is needed now, without dragging it somewhere far, because right now is the concentration of efforts, nicky haley says about this, that right now we need to help ukraine , so that there are no bigger problems. i will say more that the discourse of the united states is not being conducted. what we started talking about, i hope they will hear: not provi

on the threshold of nato, and that is sweden.swedes got information that they are sending 800 soldiers to the borders of russia and latvia to deter russia from attacking, and this, well, the swedes they haven't fought for the russians for a long time, since the 19th century, if i'm not mistaken, with karl. third, it was a related war, that is, the swedes also understand that they can also be under attack, because everyone remembers the story with finland in the year 39, and in principle, just a few days ago, i watched a documentary about the way the soviet union was preparing for war with finland, and there is a lot of similarity with the way the russian federation is behaving now, that is, how the soviet union behaved the day before in... to finland, and now all this history, it literally overlaps with this history, which vladimir putin is now trying to copy, well... vladimir putin, mr. valery, is he trying to start some northern war now, well, if it's not the baltic countries, then sweden, because it not yet in nato, and it is

he wanted less nato, a weak nato.tting a stronger and more united nato and nato with more members. at the summit we will take further steps to bolster nato's strength, invest more in our defense, and work with partners around the world. through nato, the u.s. has more friends and allies than any other power. together we make up 50% of the world's economic and military might. china and russia have nothing like nato. it is why they always try to undermine our unity. in times of growing competition and rivalry, nato makes the u.s. strong and safer. and all of us more secure. so secretary blinken, thank you again for your personal commitment to our trans-atlantic bond and to our shared security. sec. blinken: for the first question, olivia with cbs. reporter: thank you, mr. secretary. to date the united states has not publicly accused iran of being directly involved in any attacks on u.s. forces. while noting the regime and teheran's support and does not discourage its proxies from conducting these attacks. this weekend's

subsequently, nato stated that the ... chairman of the nato military committee, admiral rob , built the scenarios - this is only a training plan and is not a secret intelligence analysis. later, however, bauer urged the alliance members to prepare for the possibility of a war with russia in the next 20, the next 20 years. the prime minister of estonia, kaia kalas, was less optimistic in her predictions in an interview with the times, saying that europe has 3-5 years to preparation for the threat from russia, well... and returning to the current exercises, as the head of the nato military committee i already mentioned said, the scale of the exercises is a demonstration of the new readiness of the alliance. the supreme allied commander europe, christopher cavoli, notes that these exercises, they say, will show that nato can conduct and sustain complex operations on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace and in space for several months, for thousands kilometers from the far north and to... central and eastern europe. vadym p

, but you, as a state, like ukraine, become a member of nato.rstood, every state should think about this, and germany too, what would this mean for germany? by the way, mr. zelensky publicly stated long before the negotiations in istanbul: we are ready to accept a neutral status, we also renounce nato membership, and this was also in the negotiations with ukraine in the 10-point plan that ukraine presented to the negotiations. selensky and putin, an agreement was supposed to be signed at this meeting, but as you correctly noted, this did not happen due to western intervention. and one more thing, the negotiations took place only because the situation was so unclear for both parties that they did not want to take any serious risks. ukraine, together with the west , seriously overestimated russia, and also significantly. overestimated russian ambitions, one of the points of view is that it was planned to capture the whole of ukraine, there is no question of this could with such a number of soldiers, and against a strong ukrainian army of 4000, so

nato, perhaps because of these countries in particular.an't tell you, i've said it many times, and this is my opinion, maybe it's subjective, that putin really wants to do this in order to show nato the inability to react quickly. nato is only now changing its strategy deterrence, on the strategy of prevention. what it means? previously they had this approach: if they attack, for example, one of the baltic countries, then this country conducts self-defense for 48 hours, and then, well, for 42 hours, 48 ​​hours, 72 hours, then two weeks, other nato countries step up. first the rapid reaction forces, and then the nato countries are discussing, but now lithuania, latvia, estonia raised the question of ruba, look what happened in ukraine, look when s... from russia went to kyiv, bucha, gostomel, irpen, borodyanka , moschun look at what happened, and this is actually the distance to their capitals, and that's why they asked the question: "no, we don't want that, we are countries that want your contingents to be located already." and that is why

the first question, donald trump's position on nato, his personal vision that the united states should withdraw from... you know, this is his personal vision, now, we don't know the results of the american election, that is, the chances, whether there is donald trump, there are, but what are the chances, as it is an election and it is difficult to predict. now the second question is whether there is such support for withdrawal from nato in broad american circles there, even the republican party, there is no such support today, and whether donald trump can if he becomes a candidate and then the president, well, let's go... . we fantasize whether he can initiate it, i’ll even say he can’t, he will initiate it, but, the fuse, the first one is, in the budget law, it’s called nda, 2024, a clause was introduced that the president alone cannot make a decision to withdraw from nato, what is interesting is that there is no mention of any international organization, namely withdrawal from nato, well, that is, in this law, well... probably because it is about the us military budget and in that ab

every inch of nato territory. so when, when it comes to it, i mean, that's really what they're doing here is making sure that their own territory is not vulnerable to any kind of, of russian invasion, including the hybrid warfare tactics that were mentioned here. so it does take some attention away from ukraine, but i mean, nato is unapologetic about the fact that that's why it exist. it would love to help push russia out of ukraine. if it doesn't mean any, you know, nato allies to boots on the ground. if, if allies can, you know, maintain their own self defense with what they sent to ukraine, but in the end, nato is really here to protect itself, and that's what steadfast defender is about. and marcus, your view is nato leaving ukraine hanging here as it looks, a potential for us elsewhere to. i would agree, i mean, we have the nato summit as you um, and in the new claim was denied for membership. and the alternative would have been or has been sole goal, not security guarantees about security agreements with in

mean, if with nato, russia and nato, if someone thinks that tomorrow nato will attack, the usa willere, no, not like since you, europeans, will fight, today the task is, when they talk about the war between nato and russia, to draw as many european countries into this ukrainian vector as possible, poland, lithuania, which means finland is already being dragged. the finns are sitting there, they say, we will now prepare for war, you are fools, you will die, the americans will not die, moreover, the americans today they understand that even if the whole of europe is at war with russia, and there is no one to fight there, because the muslims there will be for putin - which means running around with a pitchfork and getting macron, you will still lose, the question is that europe will not let it develop, the meaning of all american policy, do not let europe develop and be calm without war. this is what is happening, let’s illustrate this, alex sergeevich, nato will still conduct exercises that will be the largest since the cold war. they will take part about 90 thousand soldiers, more th

ukraine should become a member of nato.former chairman of the nato military committee, explain such rhetoric from the secretary general? is it possible to take this simply? as a provocation, or whether the decision to accept is actually being considered. this discussion of nato membership before the russian attack, from my point of view, contributed greatly to the fact that no meaningful attempt was made to prevent this attack, because the russians, i could name names now, but there were many politicians who said, that ukraine should be a member and that it will become one. i can tell. i was and would not like to extol my role here once again, but i was also the chairman of the ukraine commission, chiefs of staff of the prito and the council of chiefs of staff of nato russia, i know both countries well, i had the opportunity in 2002 to work very actively on the integration of the ukrainian armed forces into democracy, so to speak, and i personally led the negotiations. with three candidates for membership, namely hungary, t

, the possibilities of nato itself?l, let's start with mr. pistoriyus, in fact, the minister of defense of the federation of the republic of germany, well, in this statement he made an assessment of nato's capabilities, first of all, relying on the potential that the federal republic of germany itself now has, so it is clear that... well, even though the germans were and remain one of the richest countries of the european union, but at the same time, well, the state of their army left much to be desired until 2014, yes, that is , it is clear that in this context, in the context of its own defense capability and, accordingly, the contribution that berlin can add as added value to collective security system, here the germans actually still have a long time to work, if we talk about the statements of nato officials about... that the alliance, well, has a certain level of readiness to resist russian aggression, well, it is clear that there is no maximum readiness, that was announced at last year's summer summit in vilnius,

orban spoke about nato this week, what does ukraine need? should we join nato or not?s week with shmygal in uzhgorod and said that they would not object if private arms factories in slovakia sell weapons to ukraine to private companies. in your opinion, what is the reason for the change in the position of fico and orbán, why are they going now, if shmygal's words are to be believed. why are they taking a step to meet ukraine? well, first of all, i will say frankly, after the statement of our current prime minister, mr. shmyhal, that ukraine can join the european union, i will allow myself to wait a little until the first day, after all, the approval of 50 million takes place on the first day, all this is preliminary, that's all. well, let 's wait for the first one, and it will be very good if what prime minister shmyhal said will be true, 50 billion makrafin will be provided, which was before. well, it is so obvious that this is the right decision of the european union for a long time. but let's not forget that there are still her funds, regarding which i do not yet kn

together as we do in nato. irate stand together as we do in nato.eral, giving a response to the attack injordan at the weekend when three servicemen were killed. joining us on the panel this evening is kelly hyman, a democratic strategist and lawyer, and christopher steele, former head of the russia desk at mi6 and director of orbis business intelligence. welcome to you, thank you for your patience standing by for us. let us pick up a couple of things we heard from secretary blinken, with respect to the middle east, he said we will be actively pursuing a pause in the fighting which i am guessing is for a domestic audience and the other point he made, no one has the reach of unrwa in gaza. we need to put them in charge and they need to tackle as effectively and quickly as possible who they have working for them. pick up those points for me. the us always believes in democracy and we always believe the fact that other countries are our allies and want to work towards peace, especially towards the middle east and definitely that is key, to have and def

ukraine commission, chief of staff of nato and the council of chiefs of staff of nato russia, i knowe opportunity to work very actively on the integration of the ukrainian armed forces into democracy, so to speak. and i, i personally negotiated with three candidates for membership, exactly. with hungary, with the czech republic and poland. and after these negotiations, i came to the conclusion that russia is not against nato expansion on principle, as it is always presented. this is my personal perception. it may not be like that, but i came to this. the fact is that russia evaluates this from a strategic point of view, namely, what kind of country, due to its size. geostrategic position and military potential would change the balance of power between russia and nato to the detriment of russia, and here, of course, ukraine occupies the very first line, because of the size, because of the geostrategic position, because of the potential that this country will bring with it, and this must be understood. there is also a second point. when mr. stoltenberg says that ukraine will become a m

these nato madmen are ready for all.reparing for exercises and fighting at the borders of belarus, our security bloc is working to maintain peace in the region and suppress all kinds of provocations. the usa and germany, conducting with their participation, operational tactical level exercises , in total up to 12 exercises were held in 2023, the main place, in addition to the border contingent, they brought up the armed forces there, both latvia and lithuania, especially. frankly speaking, the price. it should be noted once again that at the moment final preparations are underway for the two most important documents.

an attack on an nato ally. this seems more probable now than it has been in the last 30 years. russia's invasion of ukraine has presented nato with new challenges, militarily, politically, and ideologically support for your credit is still trying to get the support to brand new investments, the owner security, and therefore outliers, how to provide the unprecedented support and all way around thinking production the needle wants to strengthen its air defense by placing an order of worth billions allied nations planned to purchase up to 1000 patriot missiles. nita was upgrading with more soldiers, weapons in new members, including finland and soon sweden is the alliance prepared for an emergency. so is nato prepared for a worst case scenario mark is i wanna 1st look at how likely this is that we would see a russian attack on a needle member state. and then we can turn to nato's preparedness in such an event . what do you think? how realistic is it that russia would try to attack a member of nato? i think nobody

countries , expecting that nato will not respond, because , including the nato secretary general, hestantly says that the main task is to prevent a direct confrontation between nato and russia, and that is why our western partners really fall into this trap when they understand , if now to ukraine, for example, transfer a thousand atakams at once, and god forbid tomahawks, which have a range there of 2,500 km, which, in principle , will simply bring us to parity with russia, because tomahawks are the same... same calibers, it’s not something terrible there weapons, because when you say tomahawk to some western expert or politician, his hair just stands on end, i say, listen, well, in russia, russia has already used hundreds of calibers against us, nothing terrible happened, so let's use a few hundred tomahawks against russia , let's see how it will be, and therefore in fact it's really a problem, the problem is mental, the problem is really just understanding that russia is... the soviet union, maybe it needs some kind of transformation of the elites both in the united states and in

however, there are some nato members that we talked about that are not under the auspices of nato, cansend their own military forces and assets to ukraine. this question comes up from time to time and there is no clear answer as to what the limits are for individual western partners of ukraine, other than that nato will not directly intervene, unless some nato member states. are not attacked with on the russian side, however, going back to your previous question, the more russia escalates, the more likely it is that some nato member states will intervene on the ground. i also think that the more ukraine can succeed in keeping the black sea fleet out of the black sea, the more it can prepare, with the support of its western friends, to destroy. bridge between crimea and russia. i am sure that we will see even more help from the countries of the west. former president donald trump demonstrated that he can recruit. he won in the primaries, and won, albeit in one state, but with a crushing result. well, accordingly, european countries, members of nato, are very worried. we are very worried

, you will not stop us, and we will accept some into nato, and we will accept some into nato. near your yes, well, near the borders is finland, part of whose territory was already stolen in the 40s of the last century, but this is, well, the question arises, you see, so actually, i don't know how the west can act like this, as russia or china cannot, but in any case can carry out some certain economic, one must also be a realist. the west has always had exaggerated expectations of its own economic pressure, and this is largely due to the fact that the west has always dealt with communist regimes and with a planned economy, and to understand that we are dealing with the market, i think this understanding is only now coming, but iran has been living under western sanctions for decades, it is completely disconnected from swift. unlike russia, there are no credit cards, there is no that, this, the third , the fifth, the 10th, the 25th, while iran continues to produce a drone, i don't care what it is there , maintains a certain stability in the country itself, despite the constant protests o

, not membership in nato, because nato has a well-developed mechanism , this is an instrument of protectionlong-term, where everything is thought out, where there are many plans, where the criteria, standards, order for... troops and forces have been worked out, and this is the best, and it is clear here, if, as for the public league of ukraine nato, which and in the civilian period, and now, if it is defended. i share this opinion i think that we need to continue on this path, they said that the door is open for us, we have to see how it will work, it is very difficult for us to refuse, so if nato would come up with, maybe non-war ways, how to still make some positive regarding our accession to nato, what are the new, new forms of rapprochement with nato, to be, we are already... strategic partners, we have a partnership program for the sake of peace, we have a charter, it seems that we are no longer deyuri, but where - de facto members of nato, well, this is the way to go, to achieve interoperability, to pursue those reforms, all of which have already been implemented, well, of course, we

. an ultimatum there was nato and the united states, and then, when neither the united states nor natobeyed, did not obey this ultimatum, whom they attacked, they have the united states, i am surprising you, if i am not mistaken, russia has a border of 4.5 km , that is, well, yes, it’s in the strait , it’s... in alaska, well, if you take sukhadol, there’s a greater distance, but they’re very close to the usa, they didn’t attack the usa, they’re afraid of this collision, they and nato are still that they haven't attacked, so far, this... maybe, but they attacked ukraine, the question is why ukraine is here, in general, in this scheme, why ukraine, well, i don't want to go into details , it's their lying, well, it's just a cynical thing , when they see that they can't strike hard, because they get a war with a nuclear state, they hit a weak point, unfortunately, unfortunately, they thought like ukraine, they were wrong in many ways, but they did it, so now without ukraine this is the decision. it will not happen, it is not possible to decide now what could theoretically be said in the 21

now on youtube or the for nato. a worst case scenario would be a russian attack on one of its members states, and now it is rehearsing for exactly that possibility. it's running, it's the biggest military trail since the cold war to practice its response. the exercise is called steadfast defender and it see some 90000 troops from 32 countries taking part with fighter jets tanks and warships. that's all shortly before the 2nd day nursery of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. since then, cube has fought to expel its invaders with help from western weapons, but will to support continue. today on to the points we're looking at, put is imperial ambitions and asking is the west and leaving ukraine out to drive the hello and welcome to to the point. i'm clear, richardson in berlin and there's plenty to impact today. and i'm so pleased to welcome our fantastic panel to do just that. we have a mark was kind of a senior fellow at the german institute for international and security affairs. nature senior fellow at the ge

nato forces of yugoslavia? nato bombing of yugoslavia could have taken place in a situation, i would say, when its relations between the west and russia and china were different than they are now, and when everyone knew for sure that russia would act exclusively by political methods. ugh. and when the russian leadership tried to convince slobodan milosevic to come to some kind of agreement with... the party, as you know, viktor chornomyrdin met with slobodan milosevic before this nato operation, and how yevhen primakov met with saddam hussein, that is, but they did not use political methods, but i want to remind you, if you have already mentioned the bombing of yugoslavia by nato forces, about what happened in the first day of this operations about a symbolic event, about the downing of the plane of the prime minister of the russian federation, yevgeny primakov, who was flying to the united states. for negotiations with the vice president of the united states, albert gore. pryamakov, when learned that a decisio

nato can play a very decisive role in this, because nato is an international structure, it is not tied to the politics of each country. if the countries undertake before nato to do something as their contribution, as their investment in this security architecture, which we are talking about now, then let's put it this way, they as countries have this obligation, regardless of what they have there will be with domestic political situation and so on, that is, it is bigger for us. to preserve the stability of this architecture, rather than if we negotiate with each country separately, well, excuse me, i'm just giving an example, they tell us, we will support you as long as it takes, yes, then the president changes, and then something went wrong, or even the congress did not vote, if america as a country undertakes to nato to do some things, well, for ukraine, then it does not matter what the congress there will think on this issue, in nato, if we talk about... well, this year, several times we have heard statements from current and former secretaries, nato officials, about what, they say,

mean, if with nato, russia and nato, if someone thinks that tomorrow nato will attack, the usa willtart bombing there russia, no, not like that, it is you, the europeans, who will fight, today the task is, when they talk about a war between nato and russia, to drag as many european countries as possible into this ukrainian vector, poland, lithuania, it means that finland is already being pulled, the finns are sitting there, they say, we will now prepare for... you are fools, you will die, the americans will not die, moreover, the americans today understand that even if all of europe will fight with russia, and there is no one to fight there, because the muslims there will be for putin, which means running around with a pitchfork and getting macron, then you will lose anyway, the question is that europe should not be prevented from developing, the point of all american policy is not let europe develop and be calm without war, that’s what happens, let’s illustrate this, alex sergeevich. nato will still conduct exercises that will be the largest since the cold war. about 90,000 soldier

zelensky also says that joining nato in parts is not a working structure.ys that he is ready to fight for ukraine for years. simply it doesn't matter where the ukrainian troops will stand on the border of 1991, or whether part of the territory will be occupied, they can shoot missiles here from the caspian sea, right? so this is not a stalemate situation, when putin can keep ukraine in tension, or whoever will be there after him for years, and nato will say, you still have a war. if nothing is done then it will be 100%, well we're just going with it, that's the first, that is, if we do nothing, definitely the scenario as you say will have, will take place, because that's the green light for putin to move, yes and this is in his interests, of course, and secondly, ukraine has a much stronger position, because we... we are at war, we are surviving, and we understand that we will fight as long as it takes to win, and our position is not will change, depending on the elections that... some, some of the countries, and this unites the whole people, all the citize

april 11 - it will be 75 years of creation of nato.l be an important date in terms of holding the summit, which, as rasmonsen and our other supporters say, will happen. i would really like to, for example, continue this training that we do with young people. with 47 higher education institutions of ukraine, teaching them, that is, that the youth and ukrainian society are so ready for this that they are ready to show their readiness and ability, i will tell you frankly, we will not stop, maybe as big dreamers, we will continue to study with the youth together with the nato documentation center, we also hope for the support of the mayor of the capital, vitaliy klychko, so that we will be allowed to do everything in the kyiv city council, so that the youth can take... responsibility, because very often we will be asked a lot of questions about democracy, corruption, and something else. we still want to show this readiness from our side, the ukrainian army has shown its ability, and i will tell you frankly, not every army, even the eastern

mean, if with nato, russia nato ?inks that tomorrow nato will attack, the united states will start bombing russia there, no, not like that, it’s you, the europeans, who will fight , today the task is, when they talk about a war between nato and russia, to involve as many european countries as possible in this ukrainian vector. poland, lithuania, which means finland is already being dragged, the finns are sitting there, they say, we will now prepare for war, you are fools, you will die, the americans will not die, moreover, the americans today understand that even if all of europe is at war with... .sfetom, to understand, nato members are practicing offensive scenarios against whom it is clear. the russian foreign ministry has already called provocative maneuvers, this is a show of force, an attempt at military-political pressure on russia. please note that the main objectives of the nato exercise are against belarus. poland, the baltic countries, the expression belarusian strategic balcony is increasingly heard. here

nato is a space of security.bership in nato provides internal security today, nato is the largest union in the world, which guarantees security for all its members. this comes from a mutual declaration that was consciously accepted, not by some narrow group that governs certain countries, the peoples of nato countries. with the help of democratic institutions of nato countries. we are also connected by a large number of economic and social interdependencies, and putin knows this. putin is a rational politician in his own way. he makes mistakes, well, such a mistake was the attack on ukraine. this error was made possible by the wrong data he received. unfortunately yes it happens that there are dictators, and putin is one. receive false data from their people and do not have the opportunity to verify this data, because they created such a system themselves, but he is not crazy and will not risk attacking the territory of nato, the territory of the baltic countries, especially, taking into account the military pres

putin attacks us nato allies. if he continues to advance, he will attack nato allies.t russia's attack on nato. vladimir putin answered directly; my colleague pavel zarubin asked the russian president about this. this is complete nonsense, i think president biden is too understands that this is just a figure of speech in order to justify his erroneous policy in the russian direction. it is erroneous because i don’t think that the united states today, in terms of global development prospects, is as interested as they thought it was 20 years ago. in inflicting and as they publicly declare the strategic defeat of russia, i don’t think that this is in the national interests of the united states itself, this is the first, second, president of any large country, a nato country, and even more so, the only owner of nato, and the united states is the owner of nato, this is their backyard, all of nato, or the entire nato organization, cannot but understand that in russia there are no reasons, no interest. no geopolitical interest, no economic, no political, no military, to fight

in 1971-1974, german representative at nato headquarters.wawe was on the eastern front. ernst ferberg from 1973 to 1975, nato commander in central europe, formerly inspector of the wehrmacht high command. franz josef schulze from 1977 to 1979, nato commander in central europe, formerly a lufwaffe officer, knight. coming to a government meeting in pink high-heeled shoes, isn’t this a romanticization of abomination, everything is nearby, this star and this government on the floor. do you know what this kind of performance leads to? on the heels of government men against violence against women, do you know what this leads to? to the fact that men in power cannot even formulate what a woman is in general. listen to what the us secretary of education, miguel cardona, says, answering the question, what is a woman? tell me please, what is a woman? my employees provide equal access for all students, including lgbt students, access without discrimination. so you are not responsible for the question, you did not give me a definition of a woman? i thin

what are we doing in nato? we have been preparing for collective defense for many years, and the large-scale nato exercises, the persistent defender 2024, are a vivid example of this. 90,000 troops... will take part in these maneuvers, 20,000 of them from great britain, all the allies have joined them, so this is a great example, this is a necessary step, because the russians have not achieved none of their strategic goals in ukraine, and therefore will continue the war. ukrainians are also forced to continue fighting in order not to lose their country, because the russians do not stop, and that is why we have to realistically assess the situation and realize it. that this war concerns not only ukraine, its geography is much wider and includes part of the territories of europe. we have created a situation where professional militaries take care of our security, and the people of our countries are used to thinking so, but not when it comes to a serious conflict on our own territory, a collective defense and stru

wait, poland is not nato, is it?e you even talking about attacking her if you're not going to nowhere to attack, and suddenly nato is training like this in vain. today germany surprised me that russia is preparing an attack, but i 'm not a military man, even with history i understand that in order to attack someone you need a common border, even the second world war, that is, germany first invaded poland, and then in the soviet union, here are the borders, where they divided poland, but somehow in their narrative russia will attack one by one, the germans are right, there are arrows, the 24th plan, but there are none. and of course the biggest incident happened as usual on the favorite tv channel ntv, which some experts sometimes start to fall into the frankness of them, so everything turns out here, they also started talking about the fact that, well, how come, where did such plans come from all of a sudden. appear, where do we get such suspicions from, as if they weren't the ones who were talking for two years abou

territory, which could permanently discredit nato. dear mr. ambassador, i would like you have now analyzed a message from the kremlin, which was voiced in his telegram channel by the former president of the russian federation, medvedev. this is an extremely aggressive text. and this is not about the fact that they have changed their narratives, at one time they said that they were fighting, so to speak, with... the ukrainian government, which is bad in the pews, but not now. medvedev announced a plan for an existential war with what is called ukrainianism and said that it is simply dangerous for ukrainians to be, and they presented huge claims, in particular , about the occupation of our country. medvedev, let me remind you, deputy secretary of the security council of the russian federation, how to perceive. similar threats. since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, former president and prime minister medvedev has looked inadequate, to say the least. because of his aggressive speeches and constant threats to use nuclear

and we speak to the nato chief. succession wins big at this year's emmy awards, along with beef and the bear. we begin this hour here in the uk, where two deputy chairmen of prime minister rishi sunak�*s conservative party have resigned within the past hour. discussions with qatar but another deal. this comes as the mother of one hostage to israel size was accidentally killed last month and said time is running out for the others. more than 130 are still being held by hamas, a group deemed a terrorist group or organisation by many western governments. lucy manning reports. iris haim held out hope her son yotam would return, that he would be a hostage who came home. last month, yotam, a heavy metal drummer, was metres from safety. he'd escaped his hamas captors with two other hostages. they'd left signs saying sos and "help, three hostages" and waved a white flag. but israeli troops mistakenly thought it was a hamas trap and killed them. iris is clear who she blames. hamas is in charge of all of this terrible day, 7t

and nato, without a doubt.don't think this needs to be explained, everyone understands this. you've touched on the debate in the mainstream media, which you feel is being conducted in a very risky and one-sided way. you, mr. couette, are, or at least in the past, were a popular, sought-after expert. i remember when you used to come. so i believe that we, although we truly live in a democratic, pluralistic state, we have a terrible past, in the last century our country went through a lot injustice, we need to be able to learn from this, have a complete picture before our eyes, what else is happening when only half of the truth can be seen, read and heard. this leads to the fact that those who have to make decisions also make them based on this information, and this leads to mistakes. i would like to give an example of the impact this has on ukraine on the course of the war, our self-proclaimed experts. what they say in our country in ukraine, listen, watch and read, and those people in ukraine, who are waging th

membership in the nato alliance will serve ukraine and georgia the interests of nato itself.act. the 2008 decision radically changed the situation. the former president of the czech republic said a very frank thing, very important, he said it publicly. the war in ukraine, she said, did not begin in february of twenty-two. and in the summer of 2008, when the decision was made to open the door to ukraine and georgia, the doors to nato. let me remind you that ukraine received its independence on the basis of the declaration of independence, and it was written there that ukraine is a neutral state. solution 2008 radically changed the situation in eastern europe from the point of view of ensuring russia's security. the emergence of a powerful military bloc on our borders. thank you, what is your name? lina, just imagine, the city of our russian-ukrainian military and naval glory is sevastopol, and there is a nato base there. how will this be perceived emotionally in ukraine in russia? are you aware of this? don't just say it, think it. it’s scary that russia in response to such a

european countries or nato member states. mr.tin, today the verkhovna rada of ukraine held a meeting of the committee on national security and defense, which discussed the issue of the government bill on mobilization, which was submitted to the parliament on december 25, 2023. from what is known, valery zaluzhnyi, the minister of defense, was present at the committee hearings. rustem umyerov, and there is information that came from modern sources, what, what, what did zaluzhny say? zaluzhny spoke out against the recruitment of prisoners and convicts into the army, but said that, literally quoted by zaluzhny's publication, i need people, the russians have already called up 400,000 and are preparing several hundred thousand more to 400,000 for june, who should i fight or turn to to the world and there to ask people, or you go, fight, if not to provide. how do you assess the prospect of the adoption of this bill, because even before it is officially made presented in the verkhovna rada, and, i don't know , probably the minister of d

which will become a member of nato.his also underscores one of the many ways in which prudence aggression against ukraine has been an epic and strategic failure for russia and how it is precipitated the very things we have sought to prevent. he wanted to shrink nato. it is now larger and getting larger still. he wanted to weaken data, make a stronger than it has ever been. all of this will come to an important inflection point when we get to the nato summit that we are very honored to have in washington in july. i think this will be the most ambitious summit since the end of the cold war. whether it is russia, there are definite -- very different ways, the subdomain, terrorism and what you are seeing is alliance coming together in new ways and in stronger ways to ensure that it can deal effectivy with those challenges and even as we are celebrating 75 years of its history, the real focus will be on the neck 75 years and everything they do has done to adapt and make itself as it has been, some of those capabilities and s

apart from the fact that nato will not directly intervene unless some nato member states are attackedwith side of russia. however, going back to your previous question, the more russia escalates, the more likely it is that some nato member states will intervene on the ground. i also think that the more ukraine can succeed in keeping the black sea fleet away from the black sea, all the more , it will be able to prepare with the support of its western friends to destroy the land bridge between crimea and russia. i am sure that we will see even more help from the countries of the west. former president donald trump demonstrated that he can recruit. he won in the primaries, and won, albeit in one state, but with a crushing result. well, accordingly , the europeans are very worried. nato member countries, we are very worried. donald trump gives quite strange signals, so in his last interview he stated that he knows how to negotiate with putin and could help zelensky and so on and so on and so on. i am quite skeptical about the promises made by donald trump, but donald trump is, he is the r
