investigation is early and it is not for anyone to say nothing to see here if is possible, it doesn t seem rational, but they could be two want-to-be cops that had a bizarre way of borrowing money and they wanted to be big hot shots. it s conceivable. but as many former secret service agents told me in the last week, since this arrest made all of this public, what they told me is that it is weird the amount of money involved for two people so financially strapped, have a history of bankruptcies, lawsuits, and problems with money, it s weird they went to this effort for two years. they also warned me that lots of times larger operations by a foreign state deputizes
lloyd austin and president zelenskyy. we are going up resources into ukraine faster than most people would ve ever believed conceivable. we still have to ask for the assistance of armament and what we still have to wait for the fighter jets to come and for th anti- missiles and to ship equipment to be delivered. they re telling us that we need to wait. so the different sides are always agree on what equipment we can or can t stand to ukraine , but what you make up the assessment. from what we have agreed on wha we have agreed to send, are our channels working as best they can to get in there as quickly as they can? as far as i can tell by the reports of a bret that are publicly available, that is working both from a humanitaria perspective in providing aid to

james landale, bbc news, geneva. earlier, i spoke to the former british ambassador to the united states, lord darroch, to ask what he believes are the minimum requirements putin needs to avoid an invasion of ukraine. i don t know the answer, i don t think any of us in the west know the answer. what is clear not acceptable is giving russia some kind of veto over ukrainian membership of nato. ukraine is a sovereign independent country and it has right to join whatever international organisation or whatever foreign policy wants to fulsome what i think is possible, conceivable, is a negotiation with russia on some security architecture for europe. the model here is the imf agreement of the 80s, under which intermediate and short range missiles were banned, and that
these images are horrific. it just complete and utter needless loss of life. um, dead soldiers. ukrainian, russian, families that are never going to see those kids again. it s disgusting. i i don t know how else to describe it. i know you can t divulge classified information and i know much of many briefing included that but what stood out to you the most? i think two things stand out. and one, in your reporting, has been incredible and very helpful. is to show the absolute inhumanity of this. to unite the world against what putin has launched. to put pressure on him from conceivable every conceivable angle. to put pressure on him to stop, and make sure he doesn t succeed and there was what really stood out to me was bipartisan members of congress making that statement. the second thing is what the military told us was the mission here is to help ukraine, any way we can in this fight. while making sure that we don t get into a war between russia and the u.s. or russia and nato.
