that was the mood at the e. u. foreign minister summit. russia is thought to be planning a military offensive in ukraine's east. the eas response, a pledge of more arms deliveries with an additional $500000000.00 euros. you had enough ukraine needs more military supplies, especially heavy weapons. now is not the time for excuses kind of now is the time for creative solutions. c a t v t. it that includes german weapons, after initial doubts about sending arms to ukraine. berlin has broken its taboo and agreed to send leopard tanks and armored personnel carriers. it's already st patriot missiles to slovakia, which is agreed in turn to provide some of its surface to air missiles and other hardware to ukraine. there was also agreement across the e u that the block will support efforts to investigate possible war crimes. how to make russia accountable for the gross gresh regulations of international law. we will provide assistance, assistance to the tune of 1000000 euros from germany alone amid so much agreement, the e

they're providing intelligence support to saudi arabia and the u. e. and other members of the coalition that are bombarding and blockading yemen and beer, it seems there's not a big world power advocating for the people of yemen. the way we're seeing for the people of ukraine, if they're no, you know, so the dynamics in yemen, saudi arabia initially intervened because they feared that iran was providing assistance to the who the rebels. what's ironic is that in the intervening 7 years, that assistance which had been fairly minimal has increased. the u. s. has imposed measures to prevent weapons smuggling. and for the most part, the weapons that the who are using our weapons, that they seized from the many military in part because they were allied with the previous president early in the conflict. and so had access to these weapons. but the point is there's, there's been this narrative that the united states is pushing back against this iran backed proxy. when in reality, this, the scope of what the, who these are able to do, especially against saudi ar

neither of the 2 e. u nations have complied with a demand from russia's president, the president putin, to start paying for deliveries in roubles. several other you nations including germany, also yet to comply ada, heavily reliant on russian gas. here's what polish prime minister mateusz. moreover risky, had to say about the cut off then like a no patricia, as i have emphasized many times, a poland has prepared to diversify its gas supplies and to obtain gas from various sources. and not even before the baltic gas pipeline enters service. we will be able to protect our economy, stronger, protect our households and poles, people against such a dramatic step by russia and clock in as is thrown at us. earlier i spoke to journalist young polo cut in war, so i asked him if poland will cope without russian gas asked. the polish prime minister says, well officially they can, and they have good reasons to say. so m giving the fact that the deposits here in poland are according to officials that are pretty much fi

basically, what we're, we're hearing from the chancellor is either a reference to the need for all e u countries to coordinate on further heavy weapons deliveries. which of course, is exactly what's going on here to day in luxembourg with a new facility from the e. u. to provide f, another 500000000 in support for weapons purchases. and the 2nd reason that the chancellor has often given is essentially dead that germany is doing every thing available. and clearly what the foreign minister is suggesting here in her remarks is that that's not the case. it's a little bit of a division between the chancery and the foreign ministry. we'll get to that again later. but we often speak here about an underfunded german military. but is it a lack of sophisticated weaponry in germany that they're not able to actually provide this because they don't have it, or is it a lack of political? well, the fact is that the german military, the book fair, is not provisioned the way that it could or should be do 2 years of under funding. that is absolutely the case. and therefore, the defense minister has said

morgan would have gone bankrupt and wilson and u. e. eyes keeping it a truly genocidal war. going on her enormous massacre, and i think with very little benefit except to the arms. when your pictures, people ask, why don't we learn from our failures in vietnam and afghanistan and elsewhere? when, as long as the war in afghanistan, not in the way that is being waged now, but by a kind of gorilla, we're that we're supporting that we support as we did yet. it's very comfortable for people who are supplying those weapons and keep going. there is one other major motives that are fix these things in particular in europe, and that is r u. s. role in europe, who are not after all, a european nation, and we have no particular wrote it down for me, the, an indispensable. and what does that mean? it means that you can't really justify new trident submarines or i, she be amg, that northrop grumman is making a whole new i should be up against ian, or isis, or i al kato, ah, nature sto cutters. as rationale for multi 1000000000 now dollar arms budget. only russia has to target any sophist

these are the 1st e u energy sanctions on russia. how big a deal is this? well, as far as finance is not massive, the you imported about 4000000000 euros worth of court cold from russia last year. right? of $99000000000.00 ought of mineral fuels that they imported in total. so so less than 4 percent of the whole sector. but it is the 1st time that there's been a sort of sick tall rule sanction on the energy. and then it's the energy sector and also went on the line was announcing this. she said that they are now starting discussions to look at broad sweeping sanctions against oil. so it's sort of a baby step, but it's definitely a significant 1st step into starting to target the russian energy sector. interesting. me as well, steve. and what we've seen is that the wall street journal has come out and reported that as part of these sanctions that are targeted towards individuals. the, the wall street journal is reporting that 2 of vladimir putins own daughters might be on the list of sanctioned people. so while they're looking at these sectoral things, they'
