we are told this is a serious risk to us national security and a matter of top priority. number of government agencies are working together to find out how this happen and what the potential impact of this is. the secretary of defence is meeting every day with senior leaders and us officials are holding high—level talks to reassure allies because the number of these documents mention allies such as israel and south korea including some sensitive information but most of the documents referred to the status of the war in ukraine. the department ofjustice is opened up a criminal investigation. the americans do not know who is behind this or at least they are not saying. they do not know the scope of it. they were asked whether the threat had been contained and they said we just do not know. these are not detailed ukraine battle plans, this is more of a us snapshot of the ukraine war but it could give the russians useful information and also put at risk some of the us intelligence sources and it is a diplomatic embarrassment. officials say these documents are for the most par

he serves on the us national security council until 2020. i asked him how much of a difference it makes it for us to place these, these nuclear weapons outside its borders? as far as the military situation is concerned, if there is so little or no difference, a russia had the capability to strike anywhere in ukraine with a nuclear weapon previously, it's still has that capability. russia had the capability to strike europe, it still has that capability. so as far as a military move, it doesn't carry any significance. it is a message, of course i was that which was my next question. so this is a message. what should we take from it? and the russian strategy for most of the last year has been very consistent when it became clear that russia was not going to win this for easily on the battlefield. they switched to a strategy of trying to persuade ukraine and the countries that support ukraine, that it would be too high a cost to continue the war that they should approach russia for some kind of peace deal that would be on terms favorable to rus

leaking of confidential us national security reports on social networks has sounded the alarm for the pentagon and the white house, according to the report of the new york newspaper , which first published the news of the leaking of information and documents on twitter and telegram social networks. he had translated the leaked documents, more than hundreds of information documents are known by edward snowden in 2013. we remember these years , he disclosed documents through snowden , the security officials of the american government showed that the entire social networks and user accounts of citizens are being monitored by experts. the disclosure of these documents was called like a bomb that went off on me. 13 extensive surveillance programs and wiretapping of the us national security organization were carried out by the government . after that, the wikileaks website continued to reveal and interfere with the pentagon's managers of technology giants and information like this. revealed that the leaked documents of wikileaks stated that the cia allowed access to the information of users

and if we look at the, even the holdings of us national security, the biggest holder is japan. in the last year, it reduced its holdings in u. s. national to pressure is a by 15 percent from $1.00 trillion $1.00 to $1.00 trillion dollars. the 2nd biggest boulder is china, which similarly reduced. ready holdings by 15 percent in the, in the last year from $11.00 slightly over 1000000 dollars to point 85000000 dollars. so we can see that that's a, that's a pretty clear indication that that countries are having a waning confidence in the us dollar. and seeking to reduce their holdings at the same time, i think it's clear that china does not want to see the us dollar crash. the u. s. is still the largest trading partner with china, and they would see a lot of negative consequences of a sudden crash of the u. s. dollar. but, but we're seeing clear signs that many countries around the world. most countries around the world are, are, are seeing, seeing that need to move away from the reliance on the us dollar. well, exactly, ralph we, as i mentioned, we have china in brazil. they've a

review of the chaotic us withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021 has been published by the white us national security council spokesperson, john kirby appeared before the media praising the current administration's actions while placing the blame on previous leadership before the issues witness in the wake of the departure, hundreds of people were killed, including a number of us servicemen. american trips also left behind more than $7000000000.00 worth of military gear. mr. kirby though remains pride of the poli, i remember going through all that ah, that's pretty remarkable. that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property a, i'm sorry, i just don't buy the whole argument chaos with all this. talk a chaos. i just didn't see a, there was a lot that went right so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. peter the u. s. invasion of a rack, which left a trail of destruction. meanwhile, including up to a 1000000 civilians killed and countless more displaced has passed its 20 anniversary. we're continuing our special coverage of the military action that through the oil rich country i

us national security officer, so i guess they're blinkin.d it be there yes, yes, they merge each other, in fact, they say, that's what concerns blinken, when there are already congressmen, so to speak, talking about the fact that blinkin should go. i said six months ago that he should leave. if not earlier, i believe that you should not have come, that's for sure. that's for sure who's who who's blinking exactly but here there is a much more serious problematic thing for us and for the whole world, which consists in the fact that here they are fighting each other, and the field of this confrontation. it’s not directly inside the united states, it’s the whole world; moreover, each of them has more resources in their resources, than individually russia and china have the ability to influence the whole world, that is, in fact, we find ourselves in a very dangerous situation when their internal fight, and its bullets are the whole world, including us. well, there is good news, in fact, because the world is built on rules, they already giggle ove

we are certainly exploring how to uncover this information will affect us national security and how theseects can be mitigated and for us, for our partners and allies, the department of defense has already taken steps to limit access to these functional documents. in turn. the biden administration intends to expand the monitoring of social networks and even closed chats, as well. the nbc channel, they say, the us authorities overlooked the leak, although cybersecurity experts have repeatedly warned the discord platform through which the pentagon files were leaked to the dark corner of the internet. now the white house wants to tighten the screws. it's not that easy. you cannot break into a private chat. whatever body of state power you are, just as after september 11 , there must be a balance. yes, intelligence agencies need to be vigilant and prevent leaks. however. to do this, there must be some kind of legal authority to view private chats, correspondence and documents in them without the knowledge of users. for now, worldwide. media disagree on new details of leaked files due to non-p

nations instance during its security. the less likely it will have a confrontation with time events. how former us national security was a. john bolton says the island toads. we can avoid conflicts with the mainland. the more taiwan is embedded with other countries in collective security, collective defense efforts. so lower the likelihood that china will take military action. and this should be a top priority. both in taipei and in washington with as many efforts as are now expanded on strengthening the partnership. we all need to do more. the best way to preserve peace is through strength. asia little risk alice ross feingold has china will continue to strengthen its military and does not renounce a potential use of force against taiwan. china continue to invest its military and its can continue to take steps to improve its military capability searches, periodic large scale exercises around taiwan. not just in the taiwan scrape, but going out further into the western pacific. we've seen examples of that in recent weeks use at different weapon systems. there was a recent example of a, of a drone

and we also heard from john bolton, a former diplomat informer, us national security advisor and trump administration. and he explains what his former bosses' indictment means for the us. well, i don't think anybody can considered a good day to have a former president indicted whether republican or democratic. but i think it's important to keep in mind that this is the beginning of the case, not the end of it. the real test is whether he's acquitted after trial or gets the case dismissed before it even goes to trial, or whether he's convicted. i think the outcome of the case could have very different ramifications politically, certainly in the united states, much, much more important just than the well, the, the perception that this prosecution is politically motivated is very strong within the republican party. and it is produced according to public opinion polls an upsurge and trump support i, that's what i worry about. i would not have brought this case if i were the prosecutor. but the potential outcome, if trop is acquitted, is i think would be rocket fuel for his presidential cam

longer period, the second side of washington's predictable reaction, the representative of the us national securityerbe, called the decision of custody plus undesirable. well, the us secretary of the treasury has a reduction in production oil caused genuine regret, the reason for such sincere feelings is clear on janet helen, from old memory, partially assign responsibility for combating inflation, the head of the treasury previously held a similar high post in the federal reserve, against this background, the decision of the department of energy, usa, is a bit surprising. the oil reserve is still a priority. now it is half full or half empty it all depends on the optimism of the point of view in storage of only 370 million barrels of 714 possible in the performance of the reserve will only push oil prices up even more rustam the american anti-trusteeship law , if passed, will provoke a shortage of oil supplies, said the secretary general of the organization of arab oil exporters according to him. this will result in a significant inability to meet future demand in a global market that is already s

is really putting it on the table yet it would be be a shock to all of us if it started anytime soon. well, former national security council director, mat demik and defense one editor, kevin baron, sobering conversation. thanks so much for joining us today. thanks. so what's the bottom line? what needs to happen to get russia and ukraine to the negotiating table? the answer depends on how much tolerance there is for this war inside the united states, inside europe, inside russia, and also yes, inside ukraine. the longer the conflict goes, the harder it is for allies to manage the politics and the economics of supporting ukraine. and that assumes that the war is done through proxies and not a direct conflict with either american or nato allies lives on the line. the future of the ukraine conflict will probably not end nicely or neatly, even if the negotiations start, they could be disrupted by barbaric acts on the battlefield, or the threat of nukes, again. and then even after the war comes to some sort of end, the russian people and the ukrainian people have suffered hugely from their losses . and they're gonna str

the representative of the us national security council, john capi, told a few things about it. we can expect to look at is the process of security checks and whether it's appropriate how people are granted access another thing we can hypothetically look at is the distribution of certain types of classified material is it too broad or should it be narrowed down when going through a security check that the fact that you have received access to secret information does not mean that you can see everything that is completely secret, this is about permissions and the need to know , the prime minister of ukraine announced the development of ten key reforms within the framework of the new economic model of ukraine, he said this after his visit to washington and the annual meetings of the world bank and the imf reform - this is one of the main issues of the new program of the international monetary fund for ukraine, and oksana batrutenko, our journalist, who is now joining our broadcast, will help us figure it out oksano, i congratulate you. thank you for joining the imf . oksana, what do they

my colleague, sumi somaskanda, spoke to the us national security council'sjohn kirby about the us positionnnouncement we saw from the defence department saying the abrams tanks that the us has promised to deliver to ukraine, they will get to the battlefield by this fall. that is earlier than expected. that's right. do you think that these tanks getting there earlier, by the fall, will still be enough to counter offensives from russia? we're also providing hundreds of other armoured vehicles and we're providing what we call combined arms training for ukrainian battalions outside the country to get them ready for the fighting that we expect and that they expect they will be doing in the weeks and months ahead. it is notjust abrams tanks, yes they will get there towards the end of the year, but they're also already taking possession, the ukrainians are, of leopard tanks that are produced by germany and other nations are providing their leopard tanks as well as many different types of armoured vehicles, notjust from the united states but from around the world. it's a concerted effort to get in

areas of military operations about this stated the strategic communication coordinator of the us national securityirby, in an interview with the voice of america. of course, he is talking about the fact that the united states is increasing security assistance to ukraine so that the defense force has all the opportunities for its own counterattack. then the matter is actually ungrateful and it should not be done, we can talk about where the russians can move from, i am right , indeed, john kirpia's statement is quite interesting , it says that the united states is carrying out and further active analysis of the russian forces using intelligence capabilities, john kilby's statement is such that it resonates with er in the interview of kirill butanov, who says that the enemy is actually exhausted and goes on the defensive, and we now have two views for the further development of events but what do we need to know when we talk about the enemy ? weapons in manpower, but in fact all these forces and means are forged along the entire front line. if we talk about what you can do if you are there , if you

correspondence from us embassies in 2013 edward snowden former cia officer and agency the us national security service handed over about 200,000 classified documents to the guardian and washington post newspapers. then he fled to hong kong there. he told how american intelligence agencies monitor internet users and listen to the conversations of foreign leaders. this caused a whole series of international scandals. snowden confirmed that back in 2010, the us government authorized hacker attacks on foreign political parties and organizations in the united states , he was charged in absentia with espionage snowden asked for political asylum and remained in russia. but the content, having studied, was taken for granted, now no one will say what is real and what is not , the same commentators refer to part of the information as true to another part, as an obvious falsification of the question of faith, anything can be proved, which means that nothing is possible top , irrevocably further plot moves , predictable behind the young dunce, someone stood from the rednecks of the trumpists, yes, russian

i can listen to the comment of the representative of the council. of us national security john kirpyon't think we know if this will lead to any meaningful peace movement plan or proposal we've been talking for a long time we want this war to end it can end immediately if putin withdraws his troops, but it seems that this will not happen in the near future. so, as we said nothing about ukraine, without ukraine, but if peace is achieved through negotiations, it should be when president zelensky is ready for it and when he can do it with position of strength and in the foreground should be his point of view and the vision of the ukrainian people regarding the conditions and circumstances under which they are ready to conduct negotiations , but in washington today they are receiving the state visit of the president

it was precisely for the secret report of the us national security agency, as stated in the article, head of the military intelligence of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, who planned bold strikes in the deep rear. what caused the officials to worry was washington. well, already on february 22, this movement spread a report that, at the request of washington, they allegedly agreed to postpone the strikes , saying that the white house feared that attacks inside russia could provoke even more aggressive behavior by the kremlin. well, the office has already reacted to the publication mykhailo podolyak, an adviser in the president's office, called this publication conspiratorial. and why would we need to do this? what problem would such a one-time action solve? would it change the course of the war? russians to flee canceled the need for weapons, so publications like this with obligatory reference to anonymous sources perform only one catastrophic function, they shape public opinion in western capitals, as if ukraine is an unreasonable, infantile and impulsive country in which it is dangerous for
