and affirm western values rather than rebut russian president vladimir putin s speech which we heard this morning. that s right. dueling speeches. in that speech the russian president blamed the u.s. for the escalation of the war in ukraine. of course it was russia that invaded ukraine a year ago this week. putin also announced that russia would officially suspend its participation in the new start nuclear weapons treaty. we should note the state department said last month russia was already not in compliance with that treaty. the question now is what happens next. this morning the polish president andrzej duda rolled out the red carpet for president biden. they sat down for a closed day meeting one day after biden s secret visit to kyiv. i would argue nato is stronger than it s ever been. as i told president zelenskyy when we spoke in kyiv yesterday, i can proudly say that our support for ukraine remains unwavering. we begin in warsaw where president biden will speak i
suggestions. i do not believe they will be to any favor of ukrainian position, but definitely for us it s a warning sign and that means that russia will have additional equipment on the top of the canon porter that they are using at this particular moment by trying to occupy additional territories of ukraine. so, yes, we are worried, but, again, we are hoping for wise neutrality or relative neutrality that china has been conducting up until now. are you concerned at all as you see the u.s. and nato on ukraine s side, of course, providing much needed support, russia on the other side and china perhaps joining russia, are you concerned that ukraine becomes a proxy war between the super powers here and in effect you re stuck in between that conflict and that that lengthens the conflict and the suffering for the ukrainian people?
