u. s. and joe biden, really, to be treated for the russians, and putin to be treated on the same level on russia is getting increasingly aggravated by what it sees as american and nato activity on its front door. the long historical connection between the ukraine and russia ruptured, say the russians when ukraine declared independence no longer after the breakup of the soviet union. and in recent times that russia has been aggravated by increased activity by night. so, in the black, c, u. s. navy exercises were held that turkey supplying armed drones to ukraine. and the u. s. is helping supply weaponry missiles to ukraine's military. all of this. russia wants to stop and it doesn't want to crane to be allowed to join nate . so i think body may put in maybe realizes that this is not in jo biden's gift to give this guarantee, but who tin does have now this bargaining chip with this significant true build upon the border with ukraine and russia. you talked about the irritation that moscow russia feel about nato involvement and intrusion on the doorstep. but this all happened really, as you say, the

and president biden will happen to order. this is a very complicated time to a rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u leaders sounds pretty aggressive, yet. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks, the key of non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in and onions and look guns normally. and have given the complicates in the background of u. s. russian relations near him. it will be as difficult discussion for the leaders here and large in vars laws you linelle a very important statement was made in the ukraine. defense minister interview to u. k. media 40 of your century called u. s. canada accounts and the u. k. military to the front line, the law and put out there. and i do that online by passing nater, vanessa lampa. can you tell us about the last quote, how much of a bree more is of the alliance? the all the red lines monumental eugene has defined no and the my well ceiling. we have had similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british mi

and u. s. leaders was frank and professional, but insisted tensions over ukraine. we're not a tall vladimir putin's fault. president joe biden and veteran putin spoke via video link for more than 2 hours, during which biden threatened economic sanctions against russia. if, as any military escalation, u. s. and its allies are concerned, russia is planning to invade its neighbor. after massing tens of thousands of troops near the border, russia denies any such plans and describes the accusations as hysteria. what we know from a senior administration official is that the message that you as president joe biden intended to convey is that there would be inflicted on russia, polishing, economic and financial sanctions if it chose to invade ukraine. now what we know is that in terms of those sanctions, this could mean that it would essentially isolate russia from the global financial system. this would be done in coordination with european allies, including italy, the u. k. france and germany. and he's 38 people, have been killed in a fire at the main prison in burn these political capital dozens more were injured in the early morn

statements from the white house and from the kremlin, you could very different of portraits of what happened yesterday. we know the president biden did 3 things. he said that the u. s. would impose strong economic measures in tandem with its allies. if russia were to invade ukraine, the u. s. would send more defensive material and the u. s. would fortify nato allies on the eastern flank. it also looks like the u. s. will joined the minsk agreements. these are the stalled peace accords. the u. s. has not been party to these agreements, and i think russia hadn't really wants the u. s. to join in. it would be an opportunity to revitalize these discussions. but when you read the statements, but moscow and the united states want very different things that the point that jumps out me to me the most is that moscow is, is saying they're, they're engaging in what about is them? they're blaming nato, and they're blaming key of for the aggression. they're not taking responsibility. this crisis is far from being result. victor, a leverage in belgrade. i'm sure you want to respond to some of that, but i want to ask you as well. russia has said that these fears about a russian i
