-russia dialogue. it is to put pressure and yes it is preoccupied with china and blocking the nord stream 2 in the strategic stability and other crucial shoes. -- crucial issues. recently there have been -- on what the u.s. should do to address this growing russian belligerence and pressure. those discussions are on ukraine policymaking and in civil society and the messages here. russia hearing from washington that no discussions will take place about ukraine without ukraine and that ukraine will not be pushed into some kind of confession under pressure to advance with russia. this is a very important signal that other states might have based on their historical experience of being left out of the great power conversations about their fate. it has been quite worrisome that some of the arguments heard recently are advocating not to provoke russia. ukraine's security interest, desire not to undermine ukraine's security. the engagement and the fact that it will never meet russia's interest in ukraine. i w

does russia need china more than china needs russia? question two, putin and xi have different views on their place in the international system. how does putin see russia and xi c china? over to you. 20 minutes. >> i would like to start by thanking the ambassadors, the staff at the atlantic council, everyone who helped put this paper together. i guess you could say this paper is my own personal rectification . i spent a lot of the last two decades trying to explain why the chinese have not been able to excessively transform a soviet style system into something that worked much better and the russians could not. i have not been able to anticipate what i called the xi change, where china seems to have changed its direction. it helped explain why it russia it needs china a lot more than china needs russia and why that xi/putin relationship is not so strong. the focus on the relationship is mostly emphasized military and diplomatic relationship at the top. that is important, but not the whole story. my emphasis is on the bottom up relations

russia. is it exactly the way he portrays the the situation or do you think that one of the biggest concerns of russia is nature deploying tactical advance weapons, particularly besides into those areas widely seen by russia as a massive foot to its national security? well, you know, you've got start with the priest that you couldn't spoons operate from the precept that countries that were part. and so you know, or did the warsaw pact are not fully sovereign. and that russia, the soviet union, you know, has to do it. but i think really what you're seeing here is him chickens. the keys look um, you know, inflation in russia is 18 percent. 40 percent of russians have no savings at all on the north street to pipeline will not be approved. they don't do the best scenario until the summer, and basically they're looking at a long, cold, miserable winter with a lot of poor people. and i think he's basically just trying to change the narrative, you know, move to a war time economy, hopefully without

the issue of tension between russia and ukraine or russia and nature. he believes that this is something that doesn't have to be, i mean, they can be so all of them those resources, those energies, read, directed to, you know, something that actually matters for the people. so be just speak very calmly and very clearly all the time. disney, when he's talking about these issues, and it's always impressive whether you like me to know, not the way he's able to talk at length while it's been a long period to experience all it knows. but in terms of just communicating the way he sees things, he seems to have a very clear picture and a lot of issues to the gas issue. for example, a lot of pressure, again from the west saying we believe that russia is done wrong, very calmly responds in the business like fashion. matter of fact, quo we're just, you know, fulfilling our obligations under the contract. you've asked us to fulfill. if you want more gas sign more contracts, that seems quite simple when you, i guess simply i think you can be hot tempered on certain

is more at about ukraine but about the russian border between russia and nato, and that russia wants to have a secure situation where there are no threatening western militaries or weapons or anything, and russia should have the right to have a kind of veto on nato expansion or deployment, even in countries that are already nato members after 1997. it is more than ukraine, but ukraine, of course, is the focus point. that is a sure thing. >> the russian defense minister says u.s. private military companies are plotting provocation using unknown chemical components. how do you see that statement, the background of the conflict. >> this is just cynical propaganda to give a pretext for an invasion. this is by far the most dangerous situation militarily we have seen in europe over the past three decades. i agree with the founder of the silverado accelerator that all sides .2 putin actually preparing to launch an invasion with a tactical endgame of establishing a public state in eastern ukraine and creating language to crimea, but a more strategic endgame, and a russian colleague alluded t

and in russia's, in russia's military ranks. of which she called me as a strategic football outpost. so after that, after 20147 years have passed, and the russia, despite all of its efforts, has not been able to change the calculus, change the equation in its favor in the ukraine. you're getting closer and closer to the west. so these acts like what we saw in april, which was a similar situation when the western western intelligence sources reported that russian troops were messing along. the crazy borders were sounding alarm bell alarms. and nothing happened. after that. geneva genevas talks between by them and in switzerland. all right, so. 1 let's get with him is using these pressure points to, to get some confessions is not interested in a full scale war in ukraine, which will be catastrophic for us. let's put some of that to lex, they had. and then russia last ukraine in 2014 your response that yes and also ukraine. why? because which is that neutral you create before 2014 majority of ukrainians believed in our french frien

russia has hardened its position. now is it going to be softer because it knows it has more power under this agreement or is it going to get harder? >> russia the way it sees it cannot go anywhere. the issue of ukraine is seen as an existential threat. if american weapons are in ukraine, that is considered unacceptable. they are not going to enter any pressure on this area. the first rule of economic sanctions, if it is too harsh, the one who sections builder without you. that is what we see with russia and china. that is what this summit was about. they are seeking a new economic architecture and that will have three pillars. the first is the industries in which they are seeking preparation, high-tech industries, in order not to be reliant on american digital platforms. also for the russians, not to be dependent on exporting energy to the europeans. the second pillar would be the transportation corridor stared -- corridor was. -- corridors. russia is more modest but also developing his arctic corridor in partnership

embassy in russia. so you've been studying this for a long time and you know how putin uses energy as a weapon. en says that energy is the cash cow, and oil $80 a barrel if not going higher and his budget is based on 40 i've been following over the time in the senate and that's giving him money and fire power he might not have had at previous times. so i want to ask about how the way he uses energy as a geopolitical weapon, because in july, president biden and german chancellor, then chancellor murkle agreed to impose sanctions if putin used gas an a political weapon. since then russia has used natural gas through europe and severely limited gas to ukraine no longer to hungary through ukraine due to a side agreement to bypass it, maldova has declared a state of emergency and russia threatening to cut off gas and they only avoided that by agreeing to a longer term contract. as the stream two, dramatically increasing the prices. spot prices soared. where do you see the biden-merkel promises against putin

. i pursue these sorts of cases in russia. ~' , , ., j, russia. i think yesterday's rulina russia. i think yesterday's ruling means _ russia. i think yesterday's ruling means that - russia. i think yesterday's ruling means that the - russia. i think yesterday'sl ruling means that the state intends to be fully in control of the debate and how discussions of history, the soviet union, repression and the like and people who don't conform to the state's view, it means they need to keep their discussions to the kitchen, just like it was 35 years ago. it means there is no more tolerance for diversion from the state's effective of history, and with the lawsuit against memorial�*s sister organisation, the prosecutors are trying to, what the authorities are trying to do is reallyjust authorities are trying to do is really just silence any authorities are trying to do is reallyjust silence any kind of criticism or defence against human rights abuses in today's russia. ., ., _ , human rights abuses in today's russia. ., ., _ russia. that obviously is a ver

this idea is russia is behind everything. there's going role in the west from, you know, the cat lands wanted independence. no, it was the russians is behind it. and it's just a pile of mistress, chris brown, very journalist and political analysts joining us live on our team international really enjoy that. thanks for the chat, chris brits could soon have to pay double to heat their homes. that is according to the u. k. fuel poverty monitor, citing a planned increase to the energy price cap next april. the cost of living in the u . k. is that its highest level in a decade with household energy bills, the biggest driver, when the costs of essential services go up. those on the lower thing can get his hardest. it is estimated some 4000000 british households are currently behind on their energy bills. and each and every winter, roughly $10000.00 deaths nationally caused by cold homes. the latest pollings address tough, the country is more worried about the cost of heating the homes and it is to do with anything related to cov, i

who in russia. i mean, that's where they're supposed to be the, it's on the other hand, it's sending their soldiers out all the way across the ocean, 1000 miles and when are there, and then there and this year and you know, projecting is our course globally as well. yeah, but yeah, i mean it's, it's, it's a complete upset. yeah, i think about it that i ever, walter, i had to jump in here. we have to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on ukraine. stay with our team. ah, ah, 100 mic. no shit, you know, borders a tease and you as a merge, we don't have authority. we told them that that whole world needs to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with ah, it's update o

struck only in sanctions on russia, russia, out of the swift financial transaction system. and what would just be for the east was out of the west altogether. i think there's a calculation that the problem that they do has is that if indeed such a scenario plays out, they don't will be shown to them a time yet because they to the what is what is done is an issue also guarantees that was really just pay for point money, right? you know, the baltic states were under the impression that they were being given actual money, the actual guarantees of security. the suddenly it got are going to be realizing in the way, does anyone really believe nato's ready to go to war? to nuclear war fall is stony or listen, wait here for me, i mean, you know and song, so that was, i think the name to blah, which is what is been going on. these is empty. guarantees that has been issuing like so much candy will be shown to be absolutely ridiculous because they don't know they isn't going to be able to go on behalf of these tiny stage as on it is going to have to stop backtracking and telling is st

and russia. you know, sooner or later is simply go to act against regular cannot allow essentially, the very hostile, heavily stays on its borders and which basically is just the pool would base for nato and then russia, when i act and i think that's why the situation is dangerous. and i think that's why the rest of these do treaties are saying, well, you know, we need to de escalate what's going on in ukraine as we've agreed. and you know, it's unlikely that the major above will do anything about it, which case, i think it was crisis and ukraine could certainly come to ahead sometime in the new year. and i think that will be a disaster for everyone or the west. and will russia, but basically russia come up, allow this to continue because this is, there is an extra central, right? the russia, you know, it becomes, not. cynicism stinks, but i haven't because this has nothing really to do with nato, doesn't, i'm sorry, with ukraine, doesn't ukraine? is not really not particularly concerned, one way

russia as you prefer. an old eurasian dream of putin, which is a different dream from the european one. ukraine is in the middle of that. it is the first target. a country which is our ally, which is our rampart, who already spread and spilled so much blood for the values of europe and of the west. we have the moral duty to be at his side. i would like to add we have maybe more important than the moral duty, the political duty to do so. political duty. because if in the next weeks or days or hours, the russians happened to invade, in the remotest part of russia, and protects that everyplace in the area where you have russian -- belong to russia, it is a real pandora's box which will be open for all europe. thereafter, there will be planes in spain by the catalans. what about belgium? what about switzerland? not to speak, i don't know even parts of america where you speak of united states, where you speak spanish and so on. if the west excepts the tip of the finger in this narrative of putin, in this so-cal

i found taishan, alyssa, of russia. what this is the linchpin will of our country when i'm william defeats and in other countries. when we look at other countries, we see a deficit issue. we'll see a lack of that kind of understanding of that kind of respect. we don't want to implant that in russia. all the restrictions should be, are inside of humor. for example, city when we have 2 of the representatives of all of our net force come together, a gutless throw its full and make a list of rules. and you so that to organize so that their word should be organized in a way that li poles lives are not affected in a negative way. so that would have protected the youth. the young people there were about to say she was that's how we must do it better of the brush. i now for the final question that had pleased to gone directly to aladdin and fled image get our printed mixture pohden as the city of lead you middle id, which is a good afternoon. we're in for my guest. i'm from my information agency. sputnik my did not get a questi

it is also about russia. after the war last year, russia exploded turkey. so for ingres, normalization with armenia is a way to regain a seat at the table for the broader problems, restoration of regional trade and reopening of borders. so in that context, armenia is in a good position to counter the threat of isolation. >> matthew, russia is in a good position, but it does not mean the americans have a seat at the table. do they have relevance here? >> i was hinting at that before. i think u.s. relevancy has decreased dramatically since right before and during the war. the u.s. is still the u.s. and a member of the multilateral working group called the minsk group. but the role in that organization remains to be seen. the basics of the conflict have been settled militarily and there is a need for negotiation and a comprehensive peace agreement and an agreement to demarcate the borders. and russia was able to insert in a communique to say the parties will begin negotiations and form working groups and russia will help them. so russia stepped in with a 2000

so russia still have a debt, as russia still has a debt mechanism with the west, that is going to be a problem. no. well, it's a gradual process, but the dollar has always been the key party but, but now you're a great when the date when they're reduced their lives and the dollar. it also entailed in creating the use of the euro. and also more and more the use of domestic currency. and obviously that's also the china and russia would like to go to increased use of domestic currencies and therefore not just simply replace the us dollar with the euro. but again, it is a process. i'm not saying it has come a long way over the past 56 years. and i don't like the idea that this is only about the values. i think. i think it's a strongest representation against russia. x live relations with south korea, japan, india, israel. the made, the common denominator is nato, its military block expanding upon its borders and already we are, we are sorry, good, you know, running i was having to do when i come to david phillips, wife heard from all 3 of you is very entrenched positions when it comes to

then they sanctioned russia. and then russia says, well, zalinski and ukraine, they're not following the men sca court. i mean, my, my question is because russia seems to be open for dialogue almost all the time, but it always gets almost like a knee jerk reaction from his professional partners in the west. how much patients she think moscow has left. not much patience because again, that does not forget that james baker said there were at the, at the end of the year. so i bet nato powers are not a one inch eastward. and we see now that the database is, are all around a former eastern european countries. and i think most question got it is in it's right. saying that we, you lie to us once. you are provoked war, a civil unrest in a country which borders ours, where we have legitimate digital bit heritage or the easter eastern europe and a lot a lot of eastern ukraine. and a lot of people in ukraine consider themselves as russian where they are russian speakers. so this is i, of course, i totally agree that the u.

president, this is bbc russia. over the last year, alexander's organizations have been declared extremist organizations and he himself is in prison after accusing seven people from russian security services of poisoning him. what happened, what changed in russia that the number of those declared extremists and foreign agent has increased so drastically? you often speak about history. and i am sure you know history well. and the last time power was concentrated with no real opposition, and when russia was in stark opposition to the west, it led to a counter reaction, it led to wars and revolutions for the country. do you think it is possible that you are now laying the foundation for such a situation? president putin: now, talking about history, i would like to remind you what our opponents said for centuries. you cannot defeat russia. you can only instigate a collapse from within. that was what was said during world war i, following world war i and in the 1990's when the soviet union collapsed. they did it from wit

that is a emanating from russia. but it's something that is, has actually been triggered by nato, despite the warnings that have come from us. because they say, well, the days of spheres of influence over russia has no right to see the implant. once a week. i mean, it's moving into georgia, ukraine. i know when is the north atlantic treaty organization and then moving it then happily in their way into a central asia. so we're getting all of this rhetorical excesses from they do. and it's glen pointed out when push comes to show and they have to justify themselves to the western public as a say, well, we only have sanctions in mind. we're not actually going to go to war because it was the western public isn't going to tolerate with russia. you know, quick thing. this argument if middle doesn't expand the means, granting russia sphere influence. we hear this over and over again. their influence actually has a meaning, it's a chest exclusive influence, expand nato. that's tool for fear of influence. russia saying no exp

and earl cutting russia off. busy from swift would be the most extreme of measures deployed yet at helping to run devastated the economy there. is there any chance of washington pursuing what's being called a nuclear option based on their questionable diplomats that they potentially good. i would think be very unwise move your credible isolation then, aren't you? well, it to some degree. but russia got a backup system already in place. they have their mir card. very little impact, i think internally, externally it would. yes would they would, i don't think would devastate in like around, around with parents for that. but i think europe would, would suck some implications ramifications that as well kind of backfire. i would think european would be very strongly lobbying against such an action around as they did with around yeah. martin if, if america was somehow willing and able to crush the rest of the economy by, by isolated gets entire banking system. hope bob would not get for millions of ordinary people, not

in russia, it's about 40 percent in russia, but it's still not good enough too far from good enough. so i'm looking very carefully on, i know people are other people are also looking very carefully, the data coming out of south africa to get a glimpse of what will happen in russia. and right now the growth of the, the spread of this virus against the big round of immunity to delta does not look good. it doesn't look good as you say, but i also think it's important to mentioned that typically when, when somebody here's about a new variant of cove it, that's a knee jerk reaction. that's panic. alarm bells that a lot of breaking news on the channels around the world. the, the south african doctor who discovered omicron was, or the south african medical association of saying that those with on work on the symptoms are so far, very mild. they could be treated at home. some people have mild symptoms, some people have no symptoms. and australia's seed yet medical chief is saying there's no reason to panic yet with all may crohn. what do you say to that? well, one thing to remember is that s

and we can go to them with russia. it's a special partnership. we can never abandon them in our exclusive interview, or a correspondent the kremlin spokesperson treat your pesca also talked about tomorrow's call at between the russian leader and his american count for he sees it comes amid some fairly aggressive rhetoric against moscow. sydney digital can we are preparing for the video conference to morrow. president, putin and president biden will be having a talk. this is a very complicated movement for the talks. the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we, she plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks to key if no one wants key of against even thinking of military intervention in the dynette can lugens conflict. and given the complicated background of us russian relations, it will be a difficult talk for the leaders. now we see that nato demonstrates it's extremely aggressive position. we see mr. stoughton bugs, rhe

and you can understand why russia's, of course concern, i mean, russia has a long border will ukraine, and that's why, ah, russia has as taken steps as well on to, to demonstrate to the west and to, and to nato that look, this has to stop, you know, you can't keep, ah, you can't keep essentially promoting or murderer provoking russia by carrying out so many military exercises on russia's border. you know, it, walter is when i look it's going on here again, this is a, we saw a repetition of this from spring here. but when the more i look at these scenarios that could be played out here though, there's one country that loses in every single scenario. and it's ukraine and i, and is we've already reiterated here, you know, nato is not really talking about a military response here. so, i mean, if, if something were to happen and there was a conflict between russian ukraine, ukraine is going to be the obvious loser here. is that what they want is it is, does that justify to nato, that rushes of the threats there been telling us here, it seems to me that's one of the outcomes that they're ac

now russia go ahead. 30 isolated. well, because the geopolitical forces have very dramatically deteriorated for the west of there is china and china, russia, and now on the sunny strategic allies. so any conflict that's going to take place in europe. good. that could very well be a 2nd from opening up by china. john, is that it will help russia anyway. and therefore, you know, they'll be, they'll be a conflict over taiwan. and then what exactly is the was going to do? and so it's a huge gap stopping humiliation for the last. so it's a very serious think. hands on that. no. because i think it's correctly. i want to take my guess in london in budapest are be worth watching. iraq, you see an ex family member. ah, ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallo

and maxine, i mean, what in russia for russia, from russia's perspective, what would a pan european security structure look like? because the russians have offered it over the last 20 years, a number of times. can you explain? can you explain to where we were, what a leon security would look like? absolutely. i think 1st and foremost, that would be your order that went into russia heavenly and would be your orders respectful of russia, national interest and security concerns. and that extending nature to most soviet state holdings, ukraine, georgia, in another room in particular, are the, obviously some of the red lines and must always and will have all looking at them as spoken in the anything that is, i think moscow can again negotiated. it's open to be just some protera that these things don't matter. but if you're looking at it and again hearing loss, i see there's a lot of sense that whatever you do or some medical or could you monitor interest medication. but also that could be the case that the american political has lost strategic force 5 any each indeed, and their interest to me too

. -- military disputes with russia. the year obama doesn't want to get involved within those conflicts. so it is a very awkward situation. what can europe do for them? they are trying their best. brent: you had a year obama commission president ursula von der leyen, playing the role of the good stepmother. taking unprecedented measures with serious consequences for russia. what would mommy dearest be able to deliver? guest: she can deliver, at best, a big box with shanks than inside. the toughest, the worst, the most massive sanctions we have ever seen. the highest price russia ever had to pay, german chancellor olaf scholz said. but we don't know what is in the box, because they will not tell us. there has to be a moment of surprise. it is christmas, obviously. so what are the sanctions? what could they possibly be? it is relatively clear. economically they can try to cut off trade with russia as much as possible. they could throw russia out of the international financial system. that is very painful, because then they

so is russia angry? know she's not rush is not angry, she is focusing on something mature so you can take care a seat. now, i will try to be really brief switched. but i would like to start from the very beginning because the escalation started back in 2014. and before that, despite natasha, just by the fact that the soviet union collapses, that interest you and doing historical watch and lance with the recall the russian populations were not part was all french anymore. and ukraine, 1st of all, so we accepted this and we facilitated, we help we, the new states to grow and we work with all the governments no matter why the foreign policy a national machine has had to get some use. and just remember our relations with president fusion cohen prime minister. it was too much in code just like today's leadership of ukraine. be speaking about absolutely pro wesley orientation. we've talked with them. yes, we hadn't certain arguments about gas. we had certain conflicts, but we managed to engage in a dialect and

and russia will help them. so russia has stepped in almost a to 1000 person peacekeeping force on the ground. turkey is also as a smaller peacekeeping contingent. so there's sort of a natal presence, but the us is not absent. and you know, it's not clear to me what role the us is going to play from here on out. i mean the south caucuses, as i said, for the last couple of us administration since the town of george w bush have not been much of a focal point. and you will remember under the obama administration, the policy toward russia was one of resetting russia relations. russia reset, and that was in reaction to a very active engagement by the bush administration in the south caucuses. so the u . s. a sorta, sorta by choice withdrawn from the south caucuses, not entirely, but it seated diplomatic territory to turkey to russia, as well as the u. s. may well have seated influence from the south caucuses, but actually, it's still a pretty big player. in turkey still has the intellect airbase that the turks, howev

today, the foreign minister in russia is, i know, every day ambassador, you make it sound as if a russia, as you said, invaded the ukraine because it had nothing to do. but you know that the security situation in your crane, i was very intimately connected to russia, security interest and would have passed. memorandum is not the only document that it was broken and russia is not the only side that broke a previous arrangement. there were many promises given to russia with regards to nato enlargement after the cold war. they were also many promises given to russia by the german, many of the german politicians who are pretty open about it in that memo or that the berlin wall will not be moved to the virtual girl in will not be moved ever closer to russia. but this is one of the things that i also wanted to ask you about, because i'm sure in the korean conflict, this is something that you will have to deal with a lot. once you come to the chairmanship of the minute security conference, you were one of the architects of dimansky graham and unit gosh, 8. and on behalf of germany on behalf of

russia can and will do. it is bringing back the unfortunate reality of the situation that we have to deal with russia operating on that premise and it views certain things as national security and will take steps to advance and ensure its own security. again, understanding the framework with which policymakers may be viewing the situation and potential dialogue with russia, you engage with adversaries and negotiate with dialogue not because you trust them. you come to agreements because you don't trust them and you make clear lines and standard understandings because you don't understand them. you want to lock them into certain agreements and codes of conduct that have clearly defined standards of accessible conduct and what will violate that. it is not trusting an adversary but engaging with them to come to that for make of understanding to hopefully standardize and de-escalate potential areas of conflict and reduce the propensity or the possibility of escalation where russia believes we are acting accordin

whoa, russia believes that ukraine as well as there were rules, are part of the old greatest star, russia, and that they should not join western alliances because in the n n a, the ship re unite with russia proper to a greater russia puts in, wrote about that the simplest published this summer, and i know that not only put in but many in the russian ruling, we believe that this so, but there are also some kind of some very concrete security concerns. and by puts in personally, because it's an old idea from the, from the time of the euro. miss, our crisis of the eighty's and american pershing to massage were deployed. and land based cruise massage were deployed in europe. that the west, the united states are planning, decapitating 1st book to destroy the russian political, military leadership. and so that the russian military can be organ well organized for a reply attack. and that's what he was talking about of these minutes of how quickly the missiles can reach mars, who it means he's talking about himself that he may be taught. he's the main target . and that's what the russian general

russia relationship. host: national security adviser jake sullivan yesterday, briefing reporters on the two hour video conference call between president joe biden and the russian leader. now, that was closed to the u.s. press. our question for you this morning is how do you think the u.s. should respond to russian aggression and mark according to news reports there are 70,000 russian troops massed along the border with ukraine and according to intelligence officials, that number could grow to 175,000. the biggest test of whether the video meeting changed the mind of mr. putin will be, according to "the times," if there is a military buildup that abates. let's listen to the republican take. here's ted cruz on the senate floor. [video clip] >> joe biden was sworn into office january 20 of 2021 and four days later vladimir putin began building the put -- pipeline again. why? because the button white house made the decision to waive the sanctions on nord stream 2 and give vladimir putin a multibillion dollar
