the man tipped as a possible future ambassador to the united states suggested ukraine might have to compromisehip ambitions and even what he called the fringes of its territory. we've got to act in a way, together with the united states, to secure ukraine's freedom and secure its borders so that russia can't invade again. now, i think both those things are possible, not by ukrainejoining nato, but by nato members offering security guarantees. for now, the fighting in eastern ukraine continues, with analysts expecting russia to try to press home its advantage as power is transferred in the us. james landale, bbc news. dr marina miron, post—doctoral researcher at the war studies department of king's college london, told us more about the recent attacks. thank you so much for your time. could you put this into perspective for us how does this compare to the exchanges that we have seen so far in this war?— that we have seen so far in this war? �*, . , .,, ., , this war? it's a pleasure to be here, this war? it's a pleasure to be here. first _ this war? it's a pleasure to be here, first of _ this w

you were arguing that perhaps ukraine is trying to send a message to donald trump, to the united statestrated with these latest attacks in terms of their military capabilities but also what they are drones are capable of? that is precisely the point. ukraine is still standing strong. despite the fact that kamala harris might have been more beneficial to ukraine. they are demonstrating that they are still willing to fight despite the manpower shortages, the shortage of artillery shells and the scarcity of defense systems. ukraine obviously still has some capacity to use drones. the problem is the scaling. the r and d is very strong in ukraine coming from the soviet tradition for that they have great engineers. ukraine also needs money and needs the capacity to produce and needs air defenses in order to protect critical infrastructure and military infrastructure. we can say that ukraine still has capacity but the actual military effect of the attacks which ukraine can conduct at the moment is negligible. therefore ukraine needs the support. in the last few months of the biden presidency.

so while we're talking about a hint, the russians hinting at the united states support thing ukraine. i think if we combine these 2 are the goals, it's essentially it's natal, it's not just the united states, so we call and say nato obviously out of the equation here. the threat is a little less veiled, spend that maybe we sold marina, come, we assume, then the us and all the nato new to the powers will now alter doctrines of their own. i don't know if it's going to trigger any alteration in terms of nuclear doctrine, but it's certainly beginning offsets escalation spiral, whereas the deterrent schoolstrore is altered by one state might trigger something in other states. and we have seen a similar matter is happen with national security strategy as were the russians would read the american national security strategy and then formulate their own based on what they read. so it's very possible that the nuclear doctrines will be adjusted as well as i'm sure you can imagine all of us new to the rhetoric may many sort of course was consigned, very much the past is coming up a long shot over

we have been following the policy change from the united states, giving ukraine permission to use long—rangeissiles inside russia. we have some reaction coming from the kremlin, which has said that if the united states allowed ukraine to use us made weapons to strike inside russia, it would lead to a rise in tensions and deepen the involvement of the united states in the conflict. this is reaction from the reuters news agency, citing two us officials and a source familiar with the decision that was reported on sunday thatjoe biden had given ukraine permission to use long—range missiles inside russia. their reaction from the kremlin is that if the united states did allow ukraine to use these long—range missiles inside russia, it would lead to a rise in tensions and deepen the involvement of the united states in the conflict and add fuel to the fire. we will have more on that story and bbc news. the parents of a british teenager who took his own life after falling victim to sextortion have made a direct appeal to criminals in nigeria calling on them to stop targeting children. murray dowey was

mean nothing else, but the direct participation of the nato countries, the united states, european countries in the war and ukraine, this is their direct participation. like we mean the nato countries of the united states. european countries are at the moment with russia, and if that is the case, then having in mind the change on the very essence of this conflict, we will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that were presented to us. therefore, we, we now stand on the press appeal, perhaps the biggest escalation of the complex, so far not he's saying last lucian, dead scope since the 2nd world war has just taken a to for the was about international security consultant l. a. ross percent believes that this is an attempt by the democrats to contain trump ability to resolve the green cotton prices. i think we realize that they were allowing us to begin with anyways, and i think it should be no surprise, definitely a ramp up. definitely a be an increase, an escalation. i think part of this is a plan to try to lock similar what they do 1st to a 1st tour with the, with the rush or gate. uh uh, you know, the

ukraine. that is from those who are the masters of ukraine. so these are the key countries of the nato packed, including the united states. the ukraine is already in colonial relations with western power centers with great britain and other important nato members. and this situation will not change as he is in great debt and has obligations to our patrons . so it's like a trapping a ride. so that's how a cleaning a retreat would office. that is what i was, how he did, the instability is to send them to the front lines. is all an interview with the british newspaper. the telegraph. it's easy because what i'm, what i'm going to have has more on the story to ukraine's ccc will territorial recruitment offices or tell us with providing the crating and military with enough manpower to keep for i think this more the more has drugs on, of course, ukraine has long since right 1000 volunteers, people who are willing to do funds from the trenches in the front floods, especially given the statistics, the losses of the casualties that ukraine has suffered. the job for military recluses has grown much more difficult lease article publis

the campaign, implied that supporting ukraine was a waste of money. he said that zielinskias the greatest salesman on earth because every time he went to the united statese back with billions of dollars. >> and for trump to say that is quite a compliment because usually, trump is the greatest of everything. i just cannot see him letting go of ukraine completely. american support for it. the republican party is pretty steadfast behind the ukrainians. there are critics, they exist, democrats are pretty steadfast in their support also. i think as we get closer to the administration taking over in january, i think there'll will probably be a significant reevaluation on the part of trump and his advisors as he puts his team together, as to what is going to happen in terms of american support for ukraine. >> hannah, do you think there will be a difference between donald trump's rhetoric and the reality once he is back in the white house? >> there can be some changes, definitely because he will have more information. that definitely could influence his resolution garding negotiations. we will definitely see certain trends. first of all, that it would go -- tha

simply -- afghanistan when the united states withdrew there. ukraine some collapses. we have to do this in some way that is monitorbale -- monitorable, and anyway that russia is satisfied the u.s. is not going to put missile forces on ukrainian territory that would be threatening to russian security interests. host: if you would like to join our conversation with george beebe of the quincy institute, you can do so. our lines are democrats 202-748- 8001. you can also reach us by text at 202-748-8 003 and on social media. there are reports that president trump advised putin not to escalate the war in ukraine. from your knowledge of putin and russia, how do you think he is reacting to that? and how do you think he reacted to the election of mr. trump? guest: the russians are denying that any conversation took place. i don't know what the truth is in this case. when it comes to escalation, i don't think that is something that putin wants to do. i think his approach to the war has been to fight a war of attrition, one that slowly grinds down ukraine's abili

but it could soon be the case that germany will have to bear the brunt of supporting ukraine if, if the united states pulls out of that help. make connelly that in a key. meanwhile, ukraine has borne that 11000 north korean troops have reached russia as coast bought. a region under the fact that moscow president of all of the music landscape has urged weston allies to respond to that as long months and opinions for permission to use. long range representatives inside russia, ukraine and troops, longstanding cars and into the coast region in august, in a faint and attempt to draw a russian troops away from east and ukraine to spain next, where another 2500 soldiers have arrived in the flood. the heat valencia region to reinforce efforts to locate bodies and clear debris that are now around $17000.00 members of the military, police, and fire service in the region, in their race against the clock, civil and military emergency workers are searching. shopping centers get arches and underground car box for more fund victims. they also scan room amounts where a conference may have deposited small bod

the man tipped as a possible future ambassador to the united states suggested ukraine might have to compromiseambitions and even what he called the fringes of its territory. we've got to act in a way, together with the united states, to secure ukraine's freedom and secure its borders so that russia can't invade again. now, i think both those things are possible, not by ukrainejoining nato, but by nato members offering security guarantees. for now, the fighting in eastern ukraine continues, with analysts expecting russia to try to press home its advantage as power is transferred in the us. james landale, bbc news. meanwhile, the washington post is reporting that donald trump has spoken to vladimir putin for the first time since his re—election — and that he urged the russian leader not to escalate the war in ukraine. we know that over the course of his presidential campaign, the president—elect pledged an immediate end to the war — though he didn't offer details of how he would do so. our north america correspondent david willis has been following that report from the washington post. there is

the united states has given about $100 billion to ukraine but partners have contributed close to $150 billion. the investments we've made our to our benefit in so many ways, investments made in the united states in terms of investing in our own defense industrial base to produce what ukraine needs to deal with russian aggression and that means more jobs in the united states. it means a stronger industrial base for the united states. at the same time, european partners are doing the same thing. the reality is this -- ukraine is fighting for us, not just itself. what we said from the start and the reason so many countries are involved in ukraine's defense is because the aggression committed by russia is not only an aggression against ukraine and its people, it is an aggression against the principals at the heart of the international system and necessary for trying to maintain peace and stability. the notions at the heart of independence and structural integrity. more than 50 countries supporting ukraine know that if we let this go with impunity in one place, the message to would-be aggr

united states, _ warning is no more. within the united states, within - warning is no more. within the united states, within the - united states, within the public perspective in the united states, clearly they will see that ukrainerica might think you can never win?— america might think you can never win? actually, most of our partners _ never win? actually, most of our partners saw _ never win? actually, most of our partners saw that - never win? actually, most of our partners saw that we - never win? actually, most of our partners saw that we can j our partners saw that we can hold on from 24 february, 22 into, and we're still here. we still exist as a state and keep most of our borders, we still fight and still have intention to fight —— 2022. these are some kinds of questions from our partners on each and every stage of this war, but we know that we can win and we have demonstrated that. i don't think, frankly saying, the american public will have much decision—making in our political circles. the general public actually demonstrates emotional support, public actually demonstrates emotionalsupport, but the emotional support, but the politicians, emotionalsupport, but the politicians, those who make the decis

we rely on continued strong bipartisan support for ukraine in the united states dw. so nick connelly has more on the reaction from keith as well of the rest. i think there are still many republicans who are supportive of ukraine's worth it if you'd like me to recall. and then we'll kind of establishment publicans. and we've also seen people who are more, maybe attractive to the kind of more mag, upon public, and talk to people like restaurants and from a prime minister. another for all ship, pretty physical figure, trying to kind of engage those people specially jolts and trying to explain to them why you created much as to the us. and i think you know that those efforts are going to continue, right. this is an election where you guys don't get a vote, so they have to work with whoever the american people votes for. and we've seen polanski and his most recent visit to the us, desperate to get a meeting with trump getting one with trump in the end. i also recall just the fact that there is a lot of baggage there between them because of that 1st impeachment that trump w

equation is the united states has provided a lot of the military aid but they do take their cue from the united states is doing and if the aid in the united states were to dry up for the ukraineere is no way that europe could get to the same level that the united states had in terms of a donations to the weapons and munitions and all of those things. that becomes a critical element because of it dries up, then it becomes hard for the ukrainians to maintain a fight with the russians. >> we mentioned this is coming at a critical time and we know overnight ukrainian and russian forces exchanged heavy drone fire, the highest level since this war began a few years ago in moscow had to temporarily stop operations at several airports in the city. what does this tell you about this moment in this war? >> basically what we see is what amounts to a type of stalemate on the front lines and what we find is very little is moving with some movement in the east were they have gained certain territories and towns but these are incremental but in the north you do have the kursk area where the ukrainians did move in in august and they have kept about half of the territory they originally took.

that in europe and we want to give incentives for the united states to continue her commitment for europe. one thing is, of course, the war in ukraine think it's in the best interest of the united states and donald trump, if ukraine wins the war, we have been long saying ukrainians are fighting for us. they are fighting for ideals. would it be the case that ukraine would lose, wouldn't it mean that the western, the whole collect ive would lose. i don't think that would be a good start for trump's presidency in the united states. i think it's in the best interest of him to stay connected and continue the strong u.s. support for ukraine. we don't want to put that in question even though they are unpredicted. perhaps the decision by joe biden to -- to lift restrictions also engages the u.s., the upcoming administration to further increase the military support for ukraine. that's one scenario and i'd like to speak in favor of that. >> you had the chance to represent finland many times in meetings in brussels. i wonder what you think will be the approach from the eu now that we've got this change in tone from joe biden, but he we o have

something that russia has challenged at the united nation saying if the united states can help ukraine, why can't russia's allies help russia in this conflict? while the united states has argued that north korea is under sanctions at the united nations because of its nuclear program, and it has been since 2006 of course, those sanctions have not stopped north korea from launching ballistic missiles, including one in the last 24 hours, so we see the united states attempting to ramp up the pressure on north korea, calling on china to get involved and do more, to control its neighbor as it develops these additional military capabilities and the united states also warning that it will be releasing more aid to ukraine in the coming days. kristen salumi al jazeera washington a little bit more process in mozambique against the election results that demonstrates a se one rate. the country's electoral commission says the ruling fairly more party won the polls. it's not coming to doing reports of widespread voting irregularities, right, scripts, the same old and 13 people have been killed in the

the growing list of questions from our audience. you have spent a lot of time thinking about ukraine and about the challenges for the ukrainians can the united states and supporting ukraine. what with that memo look like at this point? stephen: one of the things that is interesting is what is already being done by the biden administration to try to ensure the issue transitions regardless of who was elected in the upcoming election. he would be important to describe to the new team what is the financing arrangement they have now come up with whereby they are borrowing against the interest being earned on those frozen russian assets in order to make a loan to the ukrainian government to help find their economic and military requirements. that is very important that that transition successfully from one administration to the other. there's an effort to shift more to nato responsibility for ensuring the weaponry and munitions continue to flow to ukraine. that's an important piece of initiative. also, they are starting to do something you and i talked about and recommended, which is not making ukraine so hostage to the weapons it can get from fri

that means at least in the short term a strong ukraine and the products and permission given to him by the unitedtes. i believe president biden would love to his reputation and legacy in ukraine should be one the war ended favorably for u.s. interests but ultimately he does see the benefit of the same time putting president trump in a strong position to broker the end of hostilities. jon: would you expect the president president-elect discussed this at the long meeting the head of the white house the other day? quickstart it's very possible. the biden legacy aligned with president trump's desire to end the war as quickly as possible in a way that is favorable to the united states. it is possible that the biden administration now is saying they are doing this to try to level the playing field with the edition of north korean troops into ukraine, there is likely longelonger-term benefit of posy that agreed-upon long term ability for the trump administration to negotiate it. jon: a lot of observers it's no secret, have said president-elect trump does not want to provide the same level of support to

ukraine if the us stopped aid. ukraine if the us stopped aid. ukraine for when the aid from the united states was very limited. beginning of the russian invasion to ukraine, there was limited support from the united states and united kingdom. but it was very limited, no air defence, nothing like this, it wasjust defence, nothing like this, it was just guerrilla fighting. but we did not... if american military support is vital for us, it definitely is. does it mean that without american support we will be give up? no, we will never give up, because we will never give up, because we clearly understand that if russia will take more ukrainian territory or all of ukraine like putin wants it will make genocide here... we will fight until the end that will definitely be much harderfor us and it will be probably at least now impossible to restore our territorial integrity now without american military support. that is why it is so important for us.— support. that is why it is so important for us. thank you for “oininu important for us. thank you for joining us- _ more people than ever before are claiming help with thei

ukraine's defenses against russia. before donald trump takes power in general. i said vague has more now from keith. now the united states has given permission now to ukraine to have these latin minds that we expect they will be used in the east of the country where russia has been making some gains in some places around the town of cairo cove. i live almost in circles. ukrainian troops between the 2 sides of the russian forces is about 5 kilometers, which means the ukraine interest inside that pockets in the east to that specific time. they're run 2 and a half come to either side of russian troops, which would make it very difficult for them to retreat. but the idea is that this would slow down so much the russian advance these mines and not aimed to kill people. the aim to injure an overwhelming the field house because slowing down any offensive. but again, we understand that the permission to use these mines of re in ukraine and territory only at the st time you've had to the united states embassy, the greek, the spanish, and they tell you the old clothes, the embassies saying that they have information. i'm a

fellow republicans say they don't care about the borders of ukraine, they care more about the borders of the southwestern border of the southwestern uniteday, okay, then what's your russia? you don't care about ukraine? then what's your russia policy? and if your russia policy, if your idea of how the united states deals with russia does not include opposing russia in ukraine, then you have a failed russia policy. what do you believe, though president trump's view is on the conflict? i don't know, one of the reasons why i thought it was a pressure cooker. for me, being deputy secretary was how much things changed without notice within the trump administration. but i'm not prepared to say that i know now that trump is going to surrender ukraine and putin is going to prevail. i don't know that. my hope is that the incoming trump administration is focussed on the challenges, the risks of the enemy. and that is putin's word for us in the west, for the united states. he considers us an enemy, and the new administration has to treat russia and act accordingly to understand what the government is about in moscow and the threat it poses to not j

the ukraine is the united states. opt out. that's why the 2nd one is obviously important is not going to seize the territory that he's controlling right now in ukraine. and it will depend on ukraine, what it will accept. will it accept nato membership, a possible need or membership in return to seating those territories? because the problem here is that russia, the russians are occupying the industrial base, a few cranes so that, that's not, not just in terms of territory, but in terms of economic importance. so to convince ukraine to accept such a deal, but it will have to be concessions and promises and security guarantees made specifically by european um, members of nato. and how far is that legal remains to be seen at this stage? we can only speculate, and of course, what will happen then you create and politically, will there be a possible election? will there be different leadership that is going to present a realistic piece plan as opposed to victory plan in terms of what conditions it's willing to negotiate on. many que
