stoltenberg is the first native chief to appear at a climate summit. insisted that leaders agree in june to the first step. >> a framework and mapping structure to count emissions. >> the former estonian minister is skeptical that allied governments share stoltenberg's enthusiasm. >> i don't think it is possible, because then i think we should be sure that adversity would do the same thing. russia, china would not consider that as a priority. >> but this nato member disagrees and is crafting a plan to help present at the summit next year. >> it is to see whether we cannot come up with technological solutions. yes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to help our forces operate in what will be a more difficult weather environment. >> he says there is growing interest in china and russia about how armed forces can battle climate change, as the world worries together over shared ecosystems such as the arctic, concerned environmentalists and military strategists might finally be converging, but there is a long way to go in the time we have to get th

nato secretary general jens stoltenberg spoke friday ahead of the meeting. >> we will address russia'snuing military buildup in and around ukraine. this is the second time this year that russia has amassed a large concentration of forces in the region. this includes heavy capabilities like tanks, artillery, armored units, drones, and electronic warfare systems, as well as combat ready troops. this military buildup is unprovoked and unexplained. it raises tensions and risks miscalculations. amy: russia has denied any plans to invade ukraine and has accused nato of trying to destabilize the region by sending troops closer to russia's borders. on monday, latvia called for a permanent u.s. military presence inside the former soviet republic. last week ukraine called for a constant presence of nato warships in the black sea. and poland recently called for more nato troops to be deployed to eastern europe. we are joined now by anatol lieven. he is a senior fellow for russia and europe at the quincy institute for responsible statecraft. he is the author of numerous books on russia and the for

secretary stoltenberg made a brilliant case. it has been longstanding u.s.cisions of its neighbors. it doesn't have a choice over nato's decisions either. that sayis a non-starter and no something this administration would even entertain. >> that would be good news for ukrainian officials. i know they'rer nervous about that possibility. andrea campbell taylor, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >>> on capitol hill and the white house flags are flying at half staff in honor of long-time gop senator former presidential candidate bob dole. he passed away sunday after being treated for cancer in february. president biden called dole "an american statesman like few in your history, a war hero and among the greaters of the greatest generation and to me, he was also a friend whom i could look to for trusted guidance." dole got a purple heart, two bronze stars serving in world war ii. he received the purple heart twice along with those two bronze stars. he went on to serve 27 years in the u.s. if you haven't read an account of the injuries he suff

. >> so nato secretary-general jens stoltenberg told jim sciutto earlier today that nato can make russia you just noted, he's done this already. he took georgia. he took crimea. why aren't they doing these sanctions already, and would they work? >> i think there is another level of sanctions that we could think about. one would be to, jake, personalize them. go after very senior leaders. potentially all the way up to vladimir putin himself. number two, at the end of the day as john mccain used to say, russia is only a big gas station. its economy is a one trick pony. oil and gas. i think you could move sanctions there, although complicated because of nordstream 2 coming online and putin wants his athletes to go to the olympics. that's an obvious one. so hopefully putin will not be as reckless as he's been on a couple of occasions but it's pretty hard to rule that out. >> secretary blinken set to meet with sergey lavrov tomorrow. what message do you think he should deliver to get the russians to stand down, to not invade ukraine, to not support a coup against ukrainian president zelensky?

. >> reporter: this week, nato general-secretary jens stoltenberg said the alliance supports ukraine's sovereignty, and "right to choose its own path." today, putin told a roomful of journalists that ukraine will never join nato. >> ( translated ): we put it straight: there must be no further expansion of nato eastward. what is there not to understand? was it us who deployed missiles near the borders of the united states? no. >> reporter: putin's remarks come a week after russia submitted a list of security guarantees it wants the west to agree to, in order to withdraw its forces near the ukrainian border. the demands include a ban on a ukraine nato membership, the removal of nato forces and weapons from much of eastern europe, and a promise to not hold further drills in the region without russian approval. russia's demands would involve a major reconfiguration of european security. and vladimir putin insists on haste, or else an unspecified military response. that leaves open questions about whether the calls for diplomacy and negotiation are genuine, or designed to fail, to justify e

i like what nato's head, jens stoltenberg, is saying we will meet any russian aggression with a reallynd don't forget this conflict out in the east has already taken 13,000 lives. so this is no time to talk about polling in russia. we need really strong deterrent statements and the military maneuvers to back them up. molly: all right. a quick switch to iran, the nuclear talks. they are not going well. that is a quote. take a listen, here's national security add a visor -- adviser jake sullivan. >> it's not going well in the sense that we do not yet have a pathway back into the jcpoa. the last few days, i think, have brought some progress at the bargaining table, but in the meantime, since we walked away from a deal that had fundamentally put a lid on iran's nuclear program, they have raced that program forward. molly: why isn't iran feeling any leverage here? where are our european partners on this? >> well, what a charade. and sullivan is the one who helped do this deal under the obama administration, so he won't give it up. but europe is really fed up with iran. there is very little

here's the secretary general, jens stoltenberg.o russia. we believe in dialogue, we believe that dialogue is important, especially when times are difficult as they are now. and an invitation to moscow to meet with the nato russia council. the kremlin denies its planning an invasion. for its part, it accuses ukraine of provocation. it says ukrainian military drills, like these ones near annexed crimea, are a provocation. russia also wants assurances that the us and nato won't send soldiers to the border. and it's seeking support from its ally, china. here's a kremlin spokesperson. translation: the president briefed the chairman - on his recent video call with us presidentjoe biden. our president has outlined the situation regarding the growing threats to russian national interests from the us and nato, which continue to move their military infrastructure closer to russia's borders. in this regard, our president highlighted the need to promptly launch serious talks with the united states and nato in order to develop international leg
