so i feel bad for zelinski. >> germany did send them helmets >> helmet is a german name, by the way.e only expertise that i happened germany is that helmet is a german name. >> think about this from biden's perspective. how do you get on a phone call. you've given this guy billions of dollars of the last couple of years and promised another hundreds of planes of dollars and you somehow pierce the guy off. biden has managed to make everybody in the situation mad. trump, he would kick off one side but not the other and actually get something done. biden madchen -- manages did grid up so bad that the makes everybody mad. >> greg: he's up your kat with 50 years of experience -- he's a bureaucrat with 50 years of experience on the world stage >> biden is like me with directions, i was get it wrong. so the biden administration just needs to realize whatever he says, do the exact opposite and everything will be okay. it is not just russia and ukraine, it is china, taiwan, the missiles with north korea. there is just an uprising in syria. they attacked the prison. it took them a week to rega

is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling biden to tone down the hysteria that are a lot of questions that also seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was, if we're being re cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out. with the development of the we just gone amid the current simmering tensions rusher agreed to move planned naval drills further from the coast of island after the irish government and fishing communities expressed concern about potential damage to the exercises could cause to the area in response to the request and minister of defense of the russian federation sake, a chicago, has made a decision as a gesture of good will to relocate the exercises. but the russian navy plans for february said to february, 8th as side the irish exclusive economic zone with the aim not to hinder fishing activities by irish vessels in the traditional fishing areas. moscow just announced that it will move its naval drill, scheduled for next week, which were originally set to take place in interna

because for the what prompted zelinski to talk in public initially was of the, i don't know whether was asleep of the tongue or button me spoke. we're going to spill the beans on the quote called mitre incursion of rush into ukraine. that what the administration biden said would go and fight over. that in itself was quite an interesting remark. but the lensky initially was talking about there are no minor incursions. there's on the big invasions that we have to care about. and then, you know, biden kind of turns the tables, this will actually, i am talking about the big invasion in the last the goals. what do you talking mode? we don't really see an invasion come so i do think it's did that. the situation is kind of a self inflicted panic and won't, but we should have perhaps in common because this narrative sun, what may come next and what type of invasion may come have been, you know, going round from different angles and it's easy for the 2 presidents and the vitamins lensky to kind of sleep on their own. banana. yeah, it's interesting, patrick, i mean, who would have thought a comme

a call between us president joe biden and ukrainian president volume or zelinski on thursday did not go well. a senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. so lensky urge his american counterpart to come down the messaging warning of the economic impact of panic. according to the official, he also said ukrainian intelligence sees the threat differently. so it quickly thought later that on top of all the other disagreements within the e u. a nato now, even washington and kia, who off, quite literally brothers in arms on to, on the same page. but then something acutely happened. less than an hour and a half off to the see in an article broke, it just disappeared. there was no trace any more bite and whipping up his theory about him in a wall and the landscape telling him to come down on its pace. what a pit? well, a few of tweets from cnn people on farther afield about how the white house dispute, how the call wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big lie. whitehouse on biden's lensky call. anonymous sources are leaking false

there was no trace any more, a bite and whipping up hysteria about in a wool and zelinski, telling him to calm down on in its place. what a pit? well, a snoo of tweets from cnn people on from her field about how the white house deceived how the coal wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big lie. white house on biden's, zalinski call, anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. president biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the russians could invade ukraine in february, reports of anything more different than that, are completely false on hot on these heels. he also came out claiming that the original article was riddled with mistakes. dear colleagues, some reports regarding the content of the talks between presidents villa, dimmer zalinski and joe biden have appeared on social media. citing the alleged senior ukrainian official. these messages are completely false. so to put it simply, we had an article, citing a senior ukrainian official. now the articles disappeared in a whole army, both in the ukraine and state side out, doing damage control. what happened beh

it was a bad telephone call. zelinski patrick it over the last few months. i can remember when irma he was going to have a meeting with the americans and he was on twitter. we need to be in nato now. meet on. and now he's beginning to realize the cost of getting in the nato is his head. ok, and a good and maybe chunks of his country. i mean, he's the hall guy and all this, and i think he's begun to finally realize it. ok, we don't know what kind of control he has over as intelligence agencies or the military. patrick, your answer survey lover of illustrated a good point to this to this effect in his response. to anthony blank and white paper and nato's white paper. it's good that they're passing papers around by the way, right now that's better rather not to be public. missiles and bombs. but again, i said, look, you can't, you can't guarantee that the ukrainian military is a unified organization. in other words, there are paramilitary units, or you know, far right paramilitary units, which aren't under the direct control all the time of one single unified a

is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling bite into tongue down the hysteria? there are a lot of questions that will say seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was, if we're being re cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out. well, just hours before the nato chief spoke, rushes for a minute to spell that included the country does not want war. second level of reiterated moscow's position again on escalating tensions with the west. however, he also noted moscow couldn't simply just stand by watching its interest being ignored. either la ro, shed his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian journalists. among them was saw t's editor in chief margaret to some money on his will. mister lovegrove had to say, yes, this is alicia authorities configured c. lately. if it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we're also not allow our interest to be brutally trampled on and ignored. the foreign minister was asked many question

is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling bye to tone down the hysteria? there are a lot of questions. there also seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john in ism. and it was, if we're being re cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out from an indian foreign minister congress about believe europe isn't in control of its own fates right now with the us at the will. i think this is playing with the goal question. is the expansion of nato. do you agree? and if that problem is evolved, everything else falls in place and i'm always surprised why didn't learn, then sweden would remain out of natal during the whole war. then the full with unions very strong and is february the world and continue to be outside the why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west especially not just is pushing for games membership of natal knife on this? there can be a fundamental in understanding then i think the best of what is happening is talk to the unassisted. and what is surprising is that

is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling bite and to tone down the hysteria that are a lot of questions that also seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was, if we're being ready, cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out of for my indian foreign minister con, wants to both believes that europe isn't in control of its own fate right now with the u. s. of the wheel i think this is playing with the goal question is the expansion of nato to you again? and if that problem is evolved, everything else falls in place. and i'm always surprised why finland and sweden would remain out of natal during the whole war. when the soviet union was very strong and is said to want to be friends with the world and continue to be outside the door. why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west, especially the united states pushing for gains, membership of natal knife on this? there can be a fundamental in understanding. then i think the rest of what is happening is totally unnecessary. a

dear colleagues, some reports regarding the content of the talks between presidents villa dimmer zelinski and joe biden have appeared on social media. citing the alleged senior ukrainian official. these messages are completely false. so to put it simply, we had an article, citing a senior ukrainian official. now the articles disappeared in a whole army, both in the ukraine and state side out, doing damage control. what happened behind the scenes? it's still a mystery bond, understandably, there are lots of questions and what suspicions? why such a shot? 180 who gave the order for the story to be taken down. and so probably not a surprise. biden's critics are calling the transparency. what they want is a transcript of the phone call. will someone ask press secretary if the white house will release the transcript? when will you release the transcript? what exactly was said in the hour and 20 minute chat between bites and ansolaski is still unclear. what did dynamic between them to lead to says it's still unclear. is it indeed true that zalinski was the one telling biden to tone down the hys

let's talk about what is good for the united states, not just zelinski.w president biden won the chinese president last year nothing really changed in chinese behavior, what does this president need to do to avoid another crimea? >> we have to be firm on where our national interests lie and where our treaty obligation is lie, and not bite off more than we can chew. whether we like it or not, whether it is china or russia may take actions we don't like but don't affect national security like the 1956 time when the soviet union invaded hungary. no one liked that, and didn't take military action or make it worse. edward: it seems vladimir putin continues to push and poke, for military drills in february or march, his pipeline thanks to president biden gives russia more influence, bypassing ukraine. is he testing, where he does what he can get? >> every country is going to do that. the issue you raised brings up an important point. if germany and other countries don't feel the threat from russia is that high that they are willing to put that in that should te

we saw secretary of state tony blinken speaking to secretary zelinsky before president biden's call withr putin. a read out of what the two discussed and how they see things moving forward. one of the biggest debates within the administration, but also more broadly among the international community is just how serious is vladimir putin? just how willing is he potentially to move ahead with an invasion of ukraine. i want you to listen to what a top democrat, adam schiff, the airm chairman of the house intelligence committee said about this today. >> i think it will require enormous sanctions on russia to deter what appears to be a very likely russian invasion of ukraine again. and i think our allies need to be solidly on board with it. russia needs to understand we are united in this. i also think that a powerful deterrent is the understanding that if they do invade, it is going to bring nato closer to russia, not push it farther away. >> so you heard there schiff talking about what he considered a likely invasion of ukraine. this call today between president biden and president zelinsky

president biden once against called ukraine's president zelinsky promising economic support. and biden and nato advisors have repeatedly said no troops will be coming to ukraine's assistance but it's clear they don't agree on the risk of a russian unsahratian. >> we've always said and for some time that another incursion by russia could be imminent. and imminent means imminent. >> president biden, along with most european leaders has warned with so much force assembled, a russian invasion should be expected. >> my guess is he will move in. >> reporter: with the chances of a russian attack increasing a western intelligence official tells us, as vladimir putin mobilizes more troops over the next two to three weeks for exercises in belarus president zelinsky has told his people there is no unusual risk and blamed the united states for stirring panic its left many ukrainians not knowing what to do there are no public orders for drilling no mass callups of reserves. no tests of emergency response systems. just life as normal. >> translator: it seems there will be no military invas

chamber and that collapsed parts of the roof. president joe biden has told ukrainian leader vladimir zelinski that the u. s. will respond decisively if russia moves further on to its territory. oscar has been massing tens of thousands of troops near the ukrainian border. diplomatic talks with deep would to deescalate tensions of planned for later this month. chinese property group, a giant, ever grand has suspended trading of its shares and hong kong stock market. the value plunged by more than 9 percent daughter. it failed to pay investors on thursday. it's missed several payments in the past months. every grand old more than $300000000000.00. that's more than any other property developer in the world. the well known canyon conservation as richard leaky has died, aged 77, leaky study of human fossils help prove humanity evolved in africa. he was central to the fight against the ivory trade and protection of africa's elephants. it was the headlines. the news is gonna continue here. on al jazeera, after listening posts, we'll see you then bye bye. americans are increasingly saying authoritaria

open under issue here person is i'm sure in that that a chance each us is on a semi tourism dot zelinski made his name playing a fictitious ukrainian president on television before getting elected to the real job in 2000 right ah, under zalinski, kiev has taken a hands on approach to the news media. it cannot stop russian news channels like r t from beaming into the country. but early last year it took 3 ukrainian news channels off the airways, $11.00 to ukraine, news one and zip. we're all linked to the same pro russian oligarch. victor medford truck are ukranian. so i, i, and when you have a war with the country, you can have it on the machine of that country in, in your home still, i think it was a mistake decision. i am against any kind of shut down anyway. and the keys shutting down r t in europe, in spite of the fact that they are up again, the machine is, this is not a democracy. this is not a european way of development. this is how the freedom of speech works. well, i tend to disagree with this assessment because ukraine's probably one of their countries along the, it's most hea

reason to believe that they'd be folly from, in, from the leadership and key of not necessarily mr. zelinski himself because his open question, who was really in charge of military affairs and keith, but that the hot heads in keith would use this equipment and with the belief and mistaken belief in western backing should they should they engage the russians in no turn, come back over don, boss, and that fee that they would be saved by western powers. what we've seen in the last several weeks that i can say one of the 1st achievements of the russians have, have made, are by raising the temperature by concentrating the troops was to flush out from the united states and nato, exactly what their preferred are not prepared to do with respect to defense of ukraine, should they be foolish enough to take on the russian army. and we all heard that country after country started that states followed by, by france and others have said that they will not in any way single soldier to, to help the ukrainians if they engage themselves in a norm conflict with russia authority, great achievement. but it's onl

so i will also mention ukrainian, president zelinski was having a really difficult situation in the country. basically, all these people need the pressure to build up though the same time. i notice that almost all the media repeat the same information over and over again to george. let's not forget that almost all his information secret satellite imagery. so comes to us from one source to us, of course, the united states, as our best allies. let's remember the way to stabilize the entire middle east because this very allies explain to us that there are weapons of mass destruction. there it is very often necessary to state to repeat, union has no real foreign policy. and as you know today, the position of you on this issue is in line with the position of poland, romania, the baltic. and they're very aggressive rhetoric towards russia. but other than that, the new is a diplomatic, you know, with less than a week to go before doctors potentially phase being fired in england for not having cove jobs. national health service stuff on taking the master to courts around $80000.00 work is still on

and we heard from one ukrainian m p who is part of present zelinski is governing a coalition. who said that once again, ukraine is not at the table and this is discussing ukraine without ukraine. so lots of unease with this meeting as discussions take place and of course we'll be keeping you up to date on any breakthroughs or just what happens in these talks here on our t international actually time in britain right now. so a bit of advice for household struggling to heat their homes this winter major energy provider ovo has told customers to cut your pet and do star jumps. if you want to stay warm. a bill for expected to double the share. it incomes are expected to face a big squeeze. his shoddy edwards dash the on the advice that's called customers fight up. are you weighing up, eating or heating? is still the predictor to sort a 2000 pounds a year will threaten no more as one of britain's biggest energy suppliers has come up with no one idea. the 10 ways to save on heating cost, not only laira, but get the hot rate going with some starch. i'm. and if that doesn't work, how

but speaking of mister zelinski and he is her what an ice disease are doing these openly very well. i have already quoted zalinski when he demanded that russian speakers leave ukraine. what happens if looks you listen for the residual room of civil clergyman? if he decides to shoot, use those armed forces in order to expel russians from the air world because he is considering lease plan. when mister collaborate, spoke to corporations about the, our experience over the so called storm operation. when $200000.00 serbians found themselves outside the lead rivera, former motherland, and became refugees, legible, notions of nuclear newcomb for. that is why i suggested that when our western hollings consider who knows their troops and where in their own territory, rush, let them consider the goals proclaimed by ukrainian radicals had it was actually by the president and regarding that, right, ethnic russians and russian speakers were, he sure was in what process and we're like now your online question. it says open to the grease i have here with us the losing good afternoon. normally over

an alleged telephone conversation between biding nancy lansky allegedly biting was shouting out zelinski, trying to convince him that unless the landscape changes, his position on don bass case is gonna be. oh, so i'm afraid to put on war brylin watching the minute come that we joke and we will proceed under siege. and then it's gonna be taken with an when plundered and pillaged. and after this scandal broke out, the air dump report was taken down from the scene and website right issue. but what i would like to ask you is the following. i just, you 3. supposing all you scuttle boy what moodle she lived, all of a sudden which um she chose some when you sean got you they say can still ukrainians of yes, we will make some amendments to the constitution. we will provide some special stages who don barzyk is gonna have some impact on our muslims ukrainian policy audition because sir michigan out in what we cannot trust them. and there are several hundreds, thousands of russian citizens over there. and in future this number can even be bigger. and we understand similarly, they say to these peo

i certainly didn't sit well here yesterday at the ukrainian president followed the mir zelinski actually treated that there was no minor incursion. there was no minor country and they were no minor casualties. that is quite clearly a rebuff to what president joe biden had said a day earlier. so i think that is that and also ukrainians want to make sure that this really doesn't turn out to be something between a do you as an russia them on, grew agreeing about the way forward when it comes to the security of europe when it comes to the expansion of nato into eastern europe, but actually that they say focus on ukraine itself. very spotty air is a former director of policy planning and nature. he explains what can be done to stop russia when fading ukraine. i think the you and us sanctions that were put in place since 2014, when russia invaders ukraine actually does sanction have surprised the russian not so much because they are putting but because there and even though the russians always say they don't carry, does not in fact that they couldn't work for me every time you meet them, they

so they understand that now they can do everything by the zelinski and his regime a used 1st of all by the americans in order to escalate tensions. their main goal is not the future of ukraine, but a heightened tensions around russia and then move on to china. ultimately the russians say that their nice side, the only power on earth that can force the ukrainian government to follow through with a minsk agreements, a comprehensive peace plan to end the civil war. and you grid that the only power that can force you credited to abide by them is the united states and that isn't interested them seeing them minsk agreements fulfilled because that would lead to a d escalation. that there wouldn't be a need to keep pumping weapons into your credit, and there wouldn't be a need to escalate tensions with russia. and this is something the ukrainians are beginning to understand. foreign minister elaborate says that they are being used at some time. so sometimes, regardless of despite what they want, the ukraine as plane, the united states and the media for escalating the situation. there have been

per shanker also said, i accuse the form the current president, his successor, alexander vladimir zelinski, rather by betraying his country. he said that we are now here to unite and defend ukraine, and this is a man who is still very much of the forefront of politics in the country. and he is maintaining his innocence and that these charges against him are politically motivated. the accusations against him date back to when he was in power in 201415. he's accused of funding groups that are according to the state now terrorist organizations and he lost power in 2019 but he's still a member of parliament. he's the leader of opposition, whose call it's your opinion solidarity. and he's one of the wealthiest men in ukraine he's estimated worth is at $1600000000.00. he's often referred to as a chocolate king because he owns a confectionary empire, as well as to tv stations in the country. so he's still very much influential man, and he's adamant that these charges against him are an attempt by the current government to try and rail attention from the economic problems facing ukraine. and he sa

for sure. president zelinski said that $12500000000.00 had already left the country since the beginning of the year. and he was wondering how much more were leave. he said, the country couldn't sustain that. are there's also an impact. i did add in the society in the communities. this is a country where a lot of people speak russian does, is a lot of countries where many people don't look at russia in a hostile way. and we spoke to many people who told us that their families were basically torn apart, that they had some people who were some of them were actually supporting the government in gave some of them a, did the act. it did support a russia or didn't see russia in a bad way. so it is causing a lot of problems at many different levels. and i think the message definitely that you hear from leaders here in ukraine is stopped by making the war is not there yet . we've been living under this threat for the past 8 years. we've seen this happen before. this is not yet the time to be concerned. or u. s. president joe biden has told cut us a mere shake to mean been hammered. al tani, that

senior ukrainian official told cnn amid disagreements over the risk levels of a russian attack. zelinski urge is american counterpart to calm down the messaging, boarding of economic impact of panic, according to the official. he also said ukrainian intelligence sees the threat differently. so quickly thought later that on top of all the other disagreements within the you and nato. now even washington and kia, who off, quite literally rob is in arms on to, on the same page. but then something but curious, happened less than an hour and a half off to the see in an article broke, it just disappeared. there was no trace any more bite and whipping up hysteria about imminent wool and zalinski, telling him to calm down on its pace. what a pit? well, a few of tweets from cnn people on thought her field about how the white house disputes, how the coal wasn't a success. in fact, it was all just one big light white house on biden zalinski call. anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. president biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the russians could invade ukraine in february, rep

is it indeed true that zelinski was the one telling by to tone down the hysteria? there are a lot of questions that we'll say seems to be the sense that at best this was poor on verify john anderson. and it was if we're being re cynical, that was something in that article that someone really didn't want to come out. and just hours before the nato chief spoke, rushes 4 minutes to spelled out clearly, the country does not want war. sigel of rav reiterating moscow's position on escalating tensions for the west. however, he also noted, too, that moscow couldn't just stand by watching his interest being ignored. that rashid his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to russian journalists among them was our editor in chief margarita simonian. his will ever had to say, yes, this is alicia authorities. if you do not see lately, if it depends on the russian federation than there will be no wall, we don't want any wars, but we're also not allow our interest to be brutally trampled on and ignored. the foreign minister was asked many questions about the tensions about what rus
