guess who we ve actually supplied arms to? we have supplied the chinese navy with radar equipment despite there being an embargo imposed after tiananmen. and very fine military socks from china. i went to visit the factory a few years ago and i was given two pairs, which i declared. it s notjust liz truss. joe biden, the president of the united states, during his trip to japan in may, also suggested that the us would go in militarily if needed. and the white house then went to clarify. he s done that three times. crosstalk the analogy is, and what came out of the nato summit, because for the first time china was mentioned as a challenge in their big blue print. even hong kong made it into the g7 communique. exactly. the analogy everyone was talking about there, is china going to be the next russia, could there be an invasion the way there was with russia and ukraine. it makes it more sense forjoe biden to say it. |

reporter: and now, as it relates to what the senate vote that would have to come up to accept sweden and finland into the alliance a good guide, potentially that vote in the senate on that latest ukraine assistance package. 11 republican votes against it. two-thirds of the senate needs to get this through. it s also interesting to look at what the president is announcing today through the state department before they even sign this new assistance package into law, another $100 million in howitzer equipment as well as radar equipment being sent to ukraine to help put it in their hands quickly to continue to support their defensive efforts. erin, you are on the ground there in ukraine. you spent the morning, i think in a village that s been decimated just outside of kharkiv. tell us about. reporter: that s right, hallie, let me first give you a sense of what s happening right now, i m in the city of kharkiv which is the second largest city in ukraine, within the last 15
we ve seen the trial in 2014. the trial has resumed in the hague. and the russians have been anything but cooperative with that. not handing over witnesses, primary radar equipment, that sort of thing. so i don t think that s a threat to them at all. i have to say, i still have a chill down my back of what general clark just said. that as a growingly impatient mr. putin may be forced to use a nuclear weapon. i have to tell you, i spoke to some of my best kremlin watchers today. what they saw in mr. putin today, they haven t seen before. he s losing his train of thought. he looks more anxious, nervous, doodling rather than writing things down. so we should be concerned about his state of mind right now. what we ve been seeing happening on the battlefield indeed are war crimes. and i was on a panel last night with the canadian military expert. he says what we re seeing right now is straight out of that
that s being run here and george kent saw one part of that scheme and bill taylor on the ground in ukraine saw the other ground of the scheme and bill taylor also saw how desperately the ukrainians needed these dollars and he ll provide a human element to this. he went to eastern ukraine and he saw the ukrainians mourning their dead and he testifies to what it means to have radar equipment, medical equipment and anti-tank systems that can stop the russians from killing ukrainians and every second that this president selfishly held up that aid, those were ukrainians who were losing their lives. and of course, we do know the department of defense was asked and delivered within a day their analysis which was that this aid should be released and given and it added up in perspective. one person who was in direct contact with the president is the former national security adviser john bolton. i know you ve all asked him to testify and he hasn t yet been subpoenaed. the washington post is
