uh, sullivan sullivan well, first of all, of course, he accused of all the sins.sian federation that the russian federation uh. here the basis of nuclear arms control is cracking, russia is to blame for everything and the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant was mentioned here and the agreements with nv that russia suspended its participation in it and undermining strategic stability. although i really hope that our foreign ministry, uh, was promised that on saturday it would come out with a detailed, so to speak, detailed reaction to sullivan’s speech, i’m waiting for sullivan, because , uh, sullivan’s entire speech is on this a solid lie for everyone, and here are the theses of strategic stability, the basis was three treaties, the missile defense treaty was 72 years old, the americans left it just like that , it does not meet national interests , and the entire inf treaty went under pressure. with a new pretext , they accused us there of having made a rocket. this is not the range, although we ourselves violated it, we told them about it for 10 years that they viol

jake sullivan oversees american's war in ukraine.. >> jake, when you think about the ukraine counteroffensive, what are you looking for to see that, in fact, the massive investments that the united states has made in helping ukraine are paying off? >> well, first, this is not an exam. we're not grading ukraine's counteroffensive and saying did you well based on what you did or you did poorly. we want to support ukraine to make as much progress as possible on the battlefield so it is in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table. and we do believe that this counteroffensive will allow ukraine to take strategically significant territory back from russia, areas occupied by russia that are rightfully sovereign ukrainian territory. exactly how much and in what places, that will be up to developments on the ground as ukrainians get this counteroffensive under way. but we believe that the ukrainians will meet with success in this counter offensive and we'll continue to support them against russia's ongoing aggression. >> but a

sullivan said this morning? does it increase in any way your confidence that we will be able to avoid a nuclear arms race that will be far more expensive and, in my opinion, much more dangerous than the arms race we engaged in in the 1960s and 70s? is the approach that we just heard outlined the appropriate one at the stage? >> thank thank you, tom, ane say thanks to daryl and arms control association. i always get sentimental when i come because i came to the annual meeting in 1990, and they announced that they're going to have the first ever position to focus on nonproliferation. i went up and told him want to play and he said are you cheap? i said yes. [laughing] so i got the job and it was the best break i've ever had. i'm thrilled to be able to come here. still cheap, but i appreciate the chance to come back and give something back. let me start by saying i am very sympathetic to the position that jake and, behind the scenes the others were in and trying to write a speech for the arms control association, w

minutes just after jake sullivan's address. now, we are going to take a break for about 15 minutes, stretch her legs, use the facilities, have more coffee, and please be back in your seat by 11:45 a.m. when the salads will be on your table. keep your lanyards with you. that -- being your seats around that time so we can begin the lunch service, and stay on track to have a keynote speaker and ambassador speak at 12:00. thank you. >> that rasped up the life's coverage from the arms-control association annual meeting. earlier today, national security advisor jake sullivan spoke at a conference held at the national press club. here are his remarks. >> thank you. welcome. we will be brief in this introduction because you didn't come to hear me. you came for the national security advisor jake sullivan. let me just note that after his remarks, we will take a couple of questions from the press pool here and a couple of questions from the audience. if you are -- would like to ask a question, i think on the path by her chair, hold it up

what is drake sullivan trying to do here? it seems as though is it pushing the board and rushes course and saying that, you know, they're ready to, to go back to negotiating table if, if the russians will reciprocate as well or use that speech to the arms control association to pause so not so coated message to russia saying that the us was prepared to renew negotiations without pre conditions . however, at the same time, he made clear that the pre conditions does not mean no accountability. the risk continues to hold frustrated, responsible for suspending and spot dissipation in the treaty back in february, they've introduced some punitive meshes. they've restricted the nuclear data that they are providing russia in terms of the treaty. they both have blocked russian nuclear inspectors from coming into the us. at the same time, the national security adviser pointed out that russia, despite a suspending, as participation in the treaty, has made very clear that it will not increase the deployment of nuclear weapons. it will li

sullivan and he just appeared on cnn for the final program or to whom i emphasize this because americanals of this level when they appear on the sunday news, every word , every message, they are absolutely in agreement, and these are not even just his words, because the position of the administration, which is in this way, through television, he wants to convey both to the allies and to the americans themselves, and here is sullivan, just in time for a direct question: does he expect that in the 23rd year they may still take place, well, that is, during this year, peaceful negotiations with russia, he said that there are two very important positions here, the first important position. he says that everything will be decided on the battlefield, it is clear that this war will end someday with negotiations, but first its fate will be decided on the battlefield, and secondly, he said that the main principle according to which ukraine will conduct these negotiations will be the principle of territorial integrity and see why this is important, this is such a message to certain europeans who c

his father is a sullivan, my mother is a sullivan. sul vance are very -- sullivans are very intelligent people my mother always said. so last year senator sullivan brought a bill out on to the floor. we had concerns coming from the massachusetts fishing community, new bedford, gloucester, famous fishing ports still today competing with alaska for the title in the united states for the largest in the country. and there was some concerns, and so i objected. we called time-out on the field, and we worked out all of those issues. that was round one. now yesterday the senator from alaska has a new bill with new provisions in it in addition to the provisions from last year that we will worked out, there's all new provisions. and it's not a rope-a-dope, although obviously anything that uses a muhammad ali-created concept is a great honor to have attached to us, but we don't see this as rope-a-dope. this is more just round two. we finished round one, now we're on round two. a whole new bill, new language, and again, same thing, we're willing

. >> white house national security advisor jake sullivan discussed nuclear deterrent -- deterrence at the nuclear arms and control meeting, he says some of the major cracks in our nuclear foundation have come from russia, pointing to several areas of concern, including russia's attack on a nuclear power plant in ukraine. this runs about one hour and 40 minutes. >> thank you. welcome. we will be briefing the introduction because you did not come to hear me, you can for the national security advisor, jake sullivan. after his remarks, we will take a couple of questions from the press pool and a couple of questions from the audience. if you are -- if you would like to ask a question, jotted down on the pads by your chair and hold it up, and our staff will collect it. what brings us together as an association is our belief that america's national security and global security, depend on prudent restraint. effort led by the united states to constantly reduce the risk of nuclear and to fulfill our legal obligation shared by other nations to negotiate in good faith, the reduction and eventual

well, as the national arms control meeting proceeds, jack solar then are jake sullivan came forward and proposed engaging china and discussions of strategic stability and nuclear risks. here's what he had to say. and i believe that the p r c could make the bold decision to engage directly with united states in discussions of strategic stability and nuclear risk . and that it would be the right responsible thing to do for the benefit of our 2 countries. and as i said before for the benefit of the wider world, now the united states has long been trying to assert some kind of control and oversight into china is nuclear arsenal. and as china rises as a country, the united states continues to see it as a threat sign as a rival. but it's important to note that making nuclear agreements with the united states may not be something many countries wants to do as the united states has been withdrawing from these agreements. you'll recall that in 2019 in the united states, withdrew from the intermediate nuclear forces treating uh in 2020 the open sky is agreement was withdrawn from by the united st

and so he was here to shake hands to meet on board austin and also j sullivan. as he said in the somebody that we've heard there, and quite obviously they spoke about the let me in russia that unfolded over the weekend. they spoke about the word developments in ukraine. and one important issue to highlight is that they also spoke about the succession of natal tv in stoughton berg who was set to leave his post scheduled in the next couple of days. but it's now set to maybe extend his stay because the member countries of nato are not able to find a good other successor. so the stories that highlights talking to press that he would favor keeping him on if no alternative can be found. and so it looks on the agenda to talk about run us through nato. some of the more contentious points that the minutes is one to resolve of the. so the big thing in the room when germany in the us meet on defense is always the military spending and the german german not really doing enough. now, jeremy has announced recently a 2700000000, euro defends packaged for ukraine. but the count

but the us national security advisor jake sullivan says they all ready for talks. it is in either of our country's interest to embark on an open ended competition in strategic nuclear forces. and we're prepared to stick to the central limits as long as russia does. and rather than waiting to resolve all of our bilateral differences, the united states is ready to engage russian now to manage nuclear risks and develop a post 2026 arms control framework. we are prepared to enter into those discussions . and then you start tracy between the us. russia was signed in 2010, and it was due to expire. in the a 2026. it caps the number as we change it. nuclear warheads. the countries can deployed to just either one and a half 1000. deployed at a non deployed launch is limited to 800 and deployed missiles and boom is to 700 trees hills are aimed at keeping open lines of communication about miss styles. and on the launch occasions, it required both sides to share information about michelle test flights. the us stop doing that off the rushes suspended, it's participation. russi

sullivan to leave and get back to a normally busy day. thank you very much. >> thank all of you very much. [applause] it's been terrific. let me add a personal note also the two that bank representative meyer for being with us today. both when i was in government and now outside of government i have always worked hard to increase the intention that members of congress and their staff pay to nuclear issues. sadly i can see that the tension level decreasing in recent years and to have you here today sir and to know about your readership with a bicameral working group is very important to us and part of what i hope everybody sees as their mission to continue to reach out to and educate members of congress, to get them to share your interest in the essential questions that we deal with. now, we are a little bit ahead of schedule. what i would like to do unless they tell me difference to give you a coffee break to ask kathy to bring a very loud bill -- rang a very loud bell at 10:23 and ask it to be back in your seat by 10:25. we will start th

president biden's national security advisor lake sullivan they're at camp david.ence at the president's side at camp david today tells you everything you need to know about how seriously the white house was taking this situation and how uncertain it has been over the last 24 hours. sullivan, he was scheduled to travel to denmark but stayed here in washington instead and traveled to camp david where i'm told he's giving the president regular updates. president biden in addition to getting these regular briefings he's been on the phone with key u.s. ally. he spoke this morning with the president of france, the chancellor of germany, as well as the british prime minister and other key u.s. officials including the secretary of state, secretary of defense, and s jake sullivan has been making calls to their counter parts. the white house says they've been actively monitoring the situation over the last 24 hours. but beyond what they've been saying it's also what they've not been saying also so notable here. and that's because they've been cautious because of the fast mo

well, they lied, well, think about it, yes, well, with a lie 100 times, but i liked sullivan the most, of course, who said that it turns out, well, first of all , the counteroffensive will not mean the victory of ukraine, apparently, they don’t believe the same , and remember us more americans. how many times did they talk with different talking art about the fact that only the victory of ukraine is complete unconditionally, it turns out, now the task is to achieve better conditions in order to sit down at the negotiating table. and who is going to sit down at the change table? no, and ukraine, what is going according to the law of ukraine , cannot be forbidden by zelensky himself. so wait and sullivan knows something that zelensky does not know yes a will he negotiate or zelensky and again a natural question arises, who reports to whom? who is blowing up whom there? who is there? someone is alive, who is wounded here verkhovna rada in general, she suggested, by the way, to the village of vatutino well , also show, yes, rename, the village of zaluzhnoe. and what about the hostages, bu

the first defining case was blake versus sullivan and cromwell. this was a claim brought by female school graduates against the law firm sullivan. cromwell. i am sure we all know of of the white shoe firms. and in new york city arguing that firm would not hire women. would not if they did, a handful would promote them or give them the kind of assignments that, would allow them to show their mettle and stand for partner is what the title seven case and a judge motley drew the case by random back a long time ago. the court in the southern district actually had a wheel and. the clerk would spin the wheel and and get a name, reach out and get a name of one of the judges. and motley was it the law firm's attorney was not happy as he argued that she had been a civil rights lawyer. she was a woman and she was biased, he argued. he wrote her a letter this. then he filed a motion for recusal and motley rejected of the motion. and she did so in the opinion that to have resonance and continues to be cited by judges who asked to recuse on the basis of identit

well, they lied, well, think about it, yes, well, with a lie 100 times, but i liked sullivan the mostd that it turns out, well, first of all , the counteroffensive will not mean the victory of ukraine, apparently, they don’t believe the same , and remember us more americans. how many times have they spoken with different speaking mouths about the fact that only the victory of ukraine is complete unconditionally, it turns out that now the task is to achieve better conditions in order to sit down at the negotiating table. and who is going to sit at the table in front of ukraine what is going to the law of ukraine cannot zelensky himself is forbidden so wait, sullivan knows something that zelensky does not know yes a

is trying to manage expectations ahead of blinken's arrival in china on sunday with jake sullivan saying that the biden administration does not expect a breakthrough in chinese-american relations during the two days of meetings sullivan told reporters at a briefing in tokyo that he would explain american policies to officials and otherwise pursue vigorous diplomacy to mansion tensions he pointed to an upcoming visit to d.c. by indian prime minister modi as a far more significant diplomatic event, but this is still a significant visit. in fact, it's blinken's first to china as secretary of state. and, as you may recall, he was supposed to visit earlier this year, but that trip was postponed after the chinese spy balloon affair phillip? >> so what are the chinese saying about the secretary of state's visit? >> reporter: so phillip, the chinese have in fact already admonished blinken in a phone call on wednesday. according to a read out of the call provided by the chinese, the foreign minister had told his americ counterpart that the u.s. should, quote, respect and stopntfering in china's i

his presidential retreat, where he is with national security adviser jake sullivan.ut canceled plans given the situation. and he is now briefing the president. earlier today we also learned from the white house that president biden spoke with the leaders of france, germany, and the united kingdom. the three of them have been closely aligned when it comes to the war in ukraine and discussed the evolving situation in russia today. now, we know that as of early january, u.s. officials had been monitoring this internal struggle between the mercenary wagner group and the russian government. now officials believe that these tensions would mount, though it perhaps happened more quickly than they anticipated, and it is what we are seeing unfold now. so the key part of the strategy for the white house has been being in regular contact with allies and partners. it's not just president biden either, his top officials including secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary austin have been talking to countries, blinken in particular. we know from the state department,

and i want to touch on some issues yet that we are also discussed by senator sullivan. the environmental review system is effectively broken, and it really affects highway dollars because of the massive increase in inflation in the construction industry. it exceeds inflation in other areas of our economy, and so delays in construction are hugely costly. so i have introduced a bill. it is called the interactive federal review act. it is to test interactive cloud-based platforms that are estimated to shorten the time span spent reviewing the documents for large projects by as much as half. so have you had a chance to look at this idea and do you believe that a step like that could help expedite project delivery? >> senator lummis, thank you for that comment on that work. i was in the private sector before i came to this role, and digital delivery, digital tools, for construction and bringing all of that. digital nepa processes i think are something that are very exciting. and so we are happy to work with your office on that. just an inflation case, i was in a global tent
