u. s. and europe only going to have any effect. well, i believe that every important part of possible sanctions is still missing. and i mean the energy industry, specifically oil and gas exports over us. i think that the russian president is under the impression that due west is too weak to impose such sanctions on the russian energy experts because the many countries are very much dependent on the supply over oil and gas program. so for example, when we look at the russian oil exports, we see that $3500000.00 tons per day. a 3500000 barrels for a day. go to the united states. you and your kid. it is a, it would be impossible to get well to continue without such supply because, well, basically the goal of the american administration, for example, you store, keep the price at the gas stations as low as possible, the loan and one of the sanctions. it's already been announced, was the effective, you know, may be pet to paps temporary cancellation of no stream to that's targeting the russian gas experts actually no, i mean, embargo on

u. s. in europe. this is a crisis. it can have global ramifications if that's a bore. so it's very important to present it to the world, to all of the other countries, to listen to this and to take in what it means to have a large neighbor threatened to invade a country for no apparent reason. i don't know whether it's going to move anything forward. i clearly china is going to back russia in whenever it does. but i think it was important to get those cards on the table. you know, just a few days ago, foreign affairs published a piece by you entitled the putin doctrine and you write that the crisis over ukraine in russia is a reckoning, 3 decades in the making. talk to me about that. how is it a reckoning? because i think in the 990 s, the u. s. in europe tried to create a new euro, atlantic security, or the after the collapse of the soviet union in which russia would have a stake, which russia would believe in. but we were unable to do this in the really what had to happen was what did happen was that the u. s. in europe really favor if you like the security concerns

u. s. europe and nato have been at pains to communicate quite clearly and directly that an invasion would have a very high cost. could that strategy be one reason why president putin is now claiming he's going to show restraint even to the point that he and his foreign minister went on t. v. in a rather stage to dialogue affirming that they are ready to give diplomacy a chance. and all these are what you are saying. western american british arguments and narrative, which i do not believe. i think that which in rec and with this kind of reaction from the west, i think we have for seen the demonstration of force, military built up the border to crane from the russian side. and from the western side, it's a clear sign that sanctions will be very strong directed against the russian economy against the russian financial system. and russia will cut off the west. but now i think we are seen with a new phase of talks of strategic talks and maybe maybe a kind of solution. so in other words, you don't think that russia has in any way been impressed by the western threats or western resolve. no, i t

u. s. and russian diplomats clashed over you crying at the un security council. b. u. s. accused russia destabilizing europe by massing troops near ukraine's bought up. russia said the u. s. was steering up hysteria, and insisted it had no plans to invade. that's it. from here, the news team from our next doc film goes to west africa to visit the grape 8 great apes. i'll close his relatives in the animal way. i suppose i'm the green. do you feel worried about the planet me to i'm kneel.

u. s. europe, the u. k has been investing, but that's starting to change some want as it is. i mean, they've been, has they been more local investment, more recently from african investors themselves? well, fundamentally, this, the whole ecosystem is driven by african entrepreneurs and they're really and building out these business model. 2 thirds of the venture capital coming into the region has some ties the united states. so they're still that focus. but the early stage funds that are investing in the feed around many of them are african and we can't forget the friends and family the back beyond or north, at the early stages in their, in their development of their business. and we've seen fintech e commerce health care as the shining stars. why is that? well, there was always a lot of value to unlock across the region through digitization. and there was a lot of friction in moving money across a region that that's broken into 54 different country. and so because of that fragmentation the historical. ringback fragmentation of the continent into so many countries you have a

u. n. a. at this point. what is the united states expecting now from, from europe because of this all fits into a larger geo, strategical geo strategic question about protecting key areas. the u. s. is, is pivoting to asia. so famously, which began under the obama administration already does. this is europe suddenly going to be back on the us map in terms of a, as a priority. as a result of this, that is a very, very important point you're making here. i had the chance to talk to former general portray us yesterday. and he, ex planed really bluntly that in a way of putin, broad nato, back a broad nato together. he said, i quote him here, put in, try to make russia great again. but what he really did, he is making nato to great again. and he is really reinforcing the trans atlantic relationship, which as we all know, really suffered a lot during the trump years. so there is a very, very extensive and intensive exchange between europe and the united states. we saw chancellor olaf shouts visiting president joe biden. they are standing side by side, especially now as shoals announce that he will put a halt and nods for him to this is also a really applauded here within the united st

u. s. president deploying thousands of american troops, so eastern europe, 2000 soldiers will had to poland and germany, and $1000.00 will be re positioned to romania. the u. s. and nato already have tens of thousands of troops in europe. the pentagon says the mo, sends a strong signal to russia, which continues to deny its planning and to invade ukraine. i want house correspondent, kimberly hawk. it reports after ramping up the possibility for weeks of a rush, an invasion of ukraine. the white house on wednesday, downgraded that threat from president vladimir putin saying an evasion is no longer imminent. i use that once, i think others have used that once, and then we stopped using it because i think it's sent and a message that we weren't intending to send, which was that we knew that president putin had made a decision. still, the united states is sending more troops to eastern europe, with some of the forces will be re position to romania. others will be coming from the united states to poland and germany. it's a response to president putin who has position tens of thousands of troops

u. s. europe, they've all rejected that proposal. now put in also said that it would be easier to negotiate at this point with ukrainian military actually than, than the government in kiev. he's called on the military to take charge so that they can come to the negotiating table. you sure so, but assured me the solution, little room, actually, i once again appeal to the military personnel on the own forces of ukraine. do not allow neo nazis to use your children, wives, and the elderly as human shields take power into your own hands. it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement. strong message that from president pacing must been the reaction coming out of cath while kia has also said that it's willing to sit down at the negotiating table. they have one main demand, if they're going to agree to what russia is saying that i just mentioned their demands. they want 3rd party security guarantees. after all, zalinski has basically said that although the u, the u. s. nato say they support ukraine, they've left it to fend f

u. s. the u. k. europe against russia, or rather tepid a, but have a been received there in moscow and you know, what do they mean? well the a year. yup. the rights did to sanctions and announced this week in response to the recognition of the 2 republic. sir ret are inconsequential and russian economy is certainly very well placed, smokes are of them. and really our analysis is this. the sanctions now so far would have a 0, almost 0 impact. but, but that's now kind of almost already history because the u. s. a. europe are also made very clear to have russia made any additional moves like beyond the recognition of the 2 republics. then the dis, sanctions would be quickly wrapped his up to the much more severe category unless you need. however, what we're now looking at, because the, the actions that we are now looking at on the grounding crane ah, do justify moving into the more severe sanctions category. and i think this is what we're going to hear later today from washington and, and from europe. and from

u. s. and germany, the concept longitude, partly trans atlantic partnership between the u. s. than europe. ne. tell mines i'm just like is organ fades, the same thing, speak with one voice and do things together. and we made it very clear if there was a military aggression against ukraine that will entail severe consequences that we agreed upon together. severe sanctions that we have worked on together, so that will be a high price for russia from this is a very clear message. everybody has understood it, and i think this message has been made clear again and again, so that even russia has understood the message. now, what is important that we also intensively worked on the prep herring possible sanctions to get them fun? we don't want to start once. that is a military aggression against ukraine. mind we have prepared a reaction that will help us to react swiftly if needed. and we'll, we'll do that at the same time. it is important to us all diplomatic means we have, and i'm very glad about your great lenise to move forward together, especially the bilateral talks between the us and russi

u. s. and germany, the transatlantic partnership between the u. s. and europe, nato of all say the same thing or part in the speak with one voice and do things together. sorry, we made it very clear. if there is military aggression against ukraine, it will result in severe consequences that we agreed upon together of severe sanctions that we worked on together. so there will be a high price for russia. there were crossed and frivolous land harbor, with at least 100000 russian troops massed along ukraine's border. berlin has faced international criticism for its cautious response. unlike some of its nate, her allies, germany has rolled out sending weapons to ukraine. meanwhile, in moscow, french president emanuel makram focused on de escalation, as it rushes, vladimir putin reiterated his demands for nato to stay out of the region, but said he was willing to compromise. he were deeply luxury and a number of ma, crohn's ideas and proposals which are probably too early to speak about. i consider quite possible to use and forming the basis of or further joint steps

u. s. army europe. many, many thanks. her. thanks for the privilege. as we just heard, russian president vladimir putin has put his deterrence forces, including nuclear armed forces on higher lured in a video speech distributed by the kremlin. putin said that nato powers had made aggressive statements toward russia. he also cited economic sanctions that will cut off major russian banks from international transactions, mostly more than you and from vilnius, i am none now joined by constantine agger, d. w. russians, affairs, expert contents. constantine welcome again.

u. s. europe, they've all rejected that proposal. now prudent also said that it would be easier to negotiate at this point with ukrainian military actually than, than the government in kiev. he's called on the military to take charge so that they can come to the negotiating table. you sure that would assures guido solution will room issue. i once again appeal to the military personnel of the armed forces of ukraine. do not allow neo nazis to use your children, wives, and the elderly. as human shields take power into your own hands. it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement to do it. kia has also said that it's willing to sit down at the negotiating table. they have one main demand if they're gonna agree to what russia is saying that i just mentioned their demands. they want 3rd party security guarantees. after all, zalinski is basically said that although the e u, the u. s. nato say they said work ukraine, they've left it to fend for itself on this. and, and at the same time's lensky has been saying that they nee

u. s. and europe have largely caught the country off from the global financial system. european stock markets fell steeply as the financial sector reacted to the lee, the sanctions. among those major russian banks would be kicked out of the global financial transaction network swift at a cost not only to russia, but also to its trading partners. over the weekend, german chancellor will have shots made it clear that things could get even worse. vaviante lists for let's not kid ourselves is put in will not change his course over night. but very soon the russian leadership will feel the high price at his paying the officer already in the last week, the russian stock market sank by more than 30 percent. that shows our sanctions are working and we reserve the right to impose further sanctions ones as on to on the so far, sanctions against russia include the exclusion from swift, making it impossible for sanctioned russian banks to pay for and receive goods from abroad. there are also restrictions on major banks with immediate consequences, the europeans subsidiary of russia state on.

u. s. canada and several european countries. and certainly lever off makes, makes claims that aren't so surprising given what we've heard, both from him and from russian. president putin, that the u. s. in europe, misunderstand rushes position that it's, that it's the u. s. and nato that are destabilize him, european security environment. it goes back to, to documents at the organization for security and cooperation in europe. saying that yes, while all countries have the right to choose their alliances, those choices may not be made at the expense of other countries security and russia is simply saying that it's being made so insecure by these decisions by eastern european countries. d. w. terry shows reporting for us there in brussels. thanks so much. you're watching the w, so the come on our show columbia, the base. what to do with a dozens of hip bones 1st brought there by notorious drug lord pablo escobar. we'll have that story for you coming up a little bit later, but 1st we have some more headlines for you. at least 25 people are reported dead in the democratic republic of congo after a high voltage power cable snapped and found. the incident happened on the outskirts of the capitol kin

u. s. troops stationed in europe, a 100000 russian soldiers on the other side of the ukrainian border. and now the u . s. is adding some 3000 troops to, to their troops there in eastern europe. the ultimate goal, of course, to deter russia from invading ukraine. in oliver, and we learned anything about how long these troops will be stationed in eastern europe. now we have not really, of course, the, the official take is that it's a temporary deployment. us wants to reach and continued to reach an agreement, following their diplomatic efforts. but of course, that implies that putin, the escalades, and he changes course, that he drops his demands and that are that ukraine, or that nature gives guarantees that ukraine will never enter nato. and that is certainly something that nato will never do. so we are looking at something like a stalemate here, it doesn't really look like anything, any improvement of the situation there. russia is continuing to ad troops, and so we are likely going to see more tensions before the situation. d escalades. d. w.
