> we are going to leave this program here to take you live now to a discussion on security in northern europe amid russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine. speakers will be introduced bymr to the u.s. live coverage here on c-span. >> permanent representative to the united nations in new york, and has led a distinguished career in foreign and commonwealth office. she has held a number of key leadershipitions in her career, and enjoys a sterling reputation in washington, d.c. u.k.'s lucky to have her as its leading representative here. u.k. remains the first ally of the united states. as we set out to defend our interests and strengthen the west and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. we are like minded friendship that few countries have had in the world or history. we like to think that hudson spl relationship to the u.k. thanks to your support, madam ambassador, we have been able to engage in important analysis of the war in ukraine and the european security order order and needs -- order and needs for the future. we are grateful to you and your excellent staff for our friendship. i know

connection to the region, through its northern group, through its historical ties with norway and estonia, so we could perhaps leverage with our closest ally in europe in the northern european region. >> yeah, look, i have argued for quite some time that we need to rethink our force posture, to refleck the geostrategic realities and the fact that nato has enlarged. i just returned after seven years working in germany. the army loves germany. it's got huge legacy installations there. if you have been there you know what i am talking about. why are those installations there? that was the point of contact. that was the frontier of the nato alliance during the cold war. that point has shifted. the critical country today is poland and also if you look at the whole baltic, nordic dimension, shamesless self-promotion, i wrote a piece about a year ago arguing we need to deploy pearl neptly, not rotationally, permanently at least one brigade combat team either in the baltics or in finland, two brigade combat teams in poland and should ukraine fail also one in romania because then you will have a russian land presence, the russians would take moldova should u

moreover, in past years i myself personally cited northern europe as an example for central or southern european union, some did not, but they got along peacefully, and those problems that arose, but they concerned, say... fishing or something else, but they did not, did not create critical situations, in the end now... this is how all this was derailed when the soviet union it disappeared when independent russia appeared, which did not pursue any aggressive line, and it would seem, but it would seem that partnership relations should have only become closer, but the exact opposite happened, alas, and we are not just talking about interstate relations. i represent the republic in the federation council karelia , which borders finland for quite a long distance, and moreover, ties between people, residents of karelia and finland have traditionally been quite close for decades, there are even mixed families and so on, but now finland has closed it. and helsinki, this is the fact that refugees from the countries of the middle east penetrate into the territory of finland through russia, well,

, even in many places in northern europe, especially in sweden, and when we began to seriouslylain the phenomenon. our botanists were also all surprised, well, why does it only grow here near tomashovka, but nowhere else in the country? the fact is that the royal fern is a cult plant of the ancient vikings, it is well known, and any archaeologist will confirm that the amber path of the ancient vikings passed along the western god, and most likely ... some kind of coordinate for the periodic campaigns of these ancient vikings, but how could it be otherwise, he won’t tell his grandson that you go and meet tamashovka, there will be a sign there and all that, it’s clear that they...

times, reports for the fastest routes for western logistics companies to deliver chinese goods to northern europe is through russia's northern and western railway corps doors. the companies argued that the southern route which bypassing russia is only advisable for shipping goods to or from central asian countries like from the capital of as or by john baku. otherwise, this root can take longer than a container ship traveling between china and europe. so the us and u. k. confrontation with the many who these is leading to a significant disruption of global supply chains. let's take a closer look before the red sea crisis started the transport route from china to northern europe took 7 to 10 days since november 2023. that time has increased by 5 times now taken almost 2 months while the railway trip to russia is between $25.30 days. we spoke with american economist and author, richard wolf, who says you companies will soon return to russia to reduce their transport costs of the problems being created for europe. whether it be by the impact of the sanctions against russia, or it is by the impact of

of various maneuvers. which will last for six months, the focus is really on eastern europe, northern europe, and there, according to legend, the enemy is commensurate with nato forces, that is, very serious forces must be involved, land, air, sea forces, in order to show their coherence and the ability to act jointly to repulse the aggressor's attack, and for yourself, mr. serhiu in... record some such actions of other members of the alliance, which could be preparing for the fact that the states will leave nato in some time. well, actually, europe faced a very difficult dilemma today, let's say, well, let's remember the year 2008, when ukraine was not given the map, and the chancellor spoke against it, the then french president sarkozy spoke, it turned out. the mistake underestimated the geopolitical role of russia, and time was lost, and today europe found itself not only in front of a war in the east of europe, but also in front of a threat. the withdrawal of the united states from nato, no one expected this before, it seemed that everything would be as usual, gas would flow, business wi

let's take a closer look before the red c crisis started, the transport route from china to northern europe took 7 to 10 days since november 2023. that time has increased by 5 times now taking almost 2 months while the railway trip through russia is between $25.30 days. we spoke with american economist and also richard wolf, who says you companies will still return to russia to reduce their transport costs of the problems being created for europe. whether it be by the impact of the sanctions against russia, or it is by the impact of the who, the support of the palestinians. all of this means greater economic difficulties. greater inflationary pressures for europe, shippers, people who have something to ship, who never use the russian railroad system, might now do it and might find it to be an attractive alternative. it is always the case that businesses do not like disruption for fear that their customers will find alternatives from which they never return. i think what you're seeing is a recognition in the west that the sanctions against russia did not work. and that therefore, all of the

it is obvious that the appearance of american nuclear weapons in northern europe will not strengthenty of the countries receiving these weapons, but will weaken it. naturally, nuclear facilities in scandinavia will become legitimate targets in a clash between russia and nato. you don’t have to be a military strategist to understand that such objects will represent a source of direct threat; naturally, they will inevitably enter to the list of legitimate goals defined by the scenario of a direct military clash between our country and nato, and we understand that this is exactly what the us and its satellites are forcing the us to do. in december, finland signed a defense agreement with the united states, which allows the american military... to place its bases, warehouses, weapons and contingents in fifteen military regions of the country, including four air force bases, five military storage facilities and the headquarters of the border service. the naval base was jointly used by the us and finnish navies upenieme and the garrison in kirkanum, including the island of rusarö, from whe
