denouncing russia's aggression against ukraine. the united states, the european union, and its member states and many other countries have imposed sanctions against russia for its unacceptable conduct in crimea and eastern ukraine. ofday's outrageous violation sovereign ukrainian territory is part of a pattern of russian behavior that includes the purported annexation of crimea and abuses against countless ukrainians in crimea, as well as stoking conflict that has taken the lives of more than 10,000 people in eastern ukraine. it shows no sign of decreasing. witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation. let's be clear about what is known. ukrainian ships set sail from one ukrainian port to another ukrainian port. they attempted to do so by the only possible way to go, through the kerch strait. both russia and ukraine used the routinely, but this time russia decided to prevent passage of the ukrainian ships, rams them, and then opened fire on them. this is no way for a law-abiding, civilized nation to act. impeding ukraine's lawful transit through the kerch strait i

ukraine in two thousand and fourteen and what transpired since was essentially the result of russia not having a meaningful place within the european security institutions i wonder if it's a bit larger not just russia's place within the security institutions but generally russia's place in the world and the disagreements that both sides had with regards to that question of what place should russia take in the world when i think i focused on europe and there may be issues and complaints having to do with other regions the world but europe i think has been and the near abroad vision is a little bit or has been most important to russia since one thousand nine hundred ninety and remains one of russia's key interests if i read the foreign policy concept correctly. the point is that structurally indeed it would to a large part as nato and the e.u. expanded and more and more decisions were taken in nato in the e.u. russia had less opportunity to participate in the formulation or the taking of key decisions. and in that sense i recognised that russia had had a complaint that needed to be addres

is very tightly linked to the ideal space the space russia occupies and crimea in this regards was a very peculiar case because territorially it wasn't russian in two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen but geo politically it was russian as a seat of the russian fleet for several centuries when you look at the crimean case from that perspective wasn't it an accident waiting to happen regardless of whatever security arrangements you have in europe well i think it was more a problem that we thought we had solved but apparently came back again there was a question when the soviet union dissolved in one nine hundred ninety one should crimea stay with russia with ukraine or go to russia because not everyone was happy with khrushchev action in one nine hundred fifty four transferring crimea from the . us i said. there were votes in crimea moreover there is there was a long negotiation within the c.e. that i remember that resulted in an autonomy agreement for crimea within ukraine by the late one nine hundred ninety s. the ukrainians were so happy with this that they were

changed a lot to discuss you've said it the relations between russia and the united states are at its lowest point. in one of your articles i think you said that the democratic party instead of containing the fire is actually fanning the flames do you think if trump was super hawkish towards russia that the democrats would actually want peace with it so here's the here's the paradox. first of all opposition to trump and the nation magazine which i edit opposes trump on many issues particularly domestic issues but opposition to trump should not be opposition to common sense it is common sense that the united states and russia have a working relationship on key areas such as nuclear proliferation on setting up rules of the road around cyber on trying to deescalate the war conflict in syria so there are a set of issues that it would be valuable for the u.s. and russia to partner on the democratic party with very few exceptions has chosen a different path to argue that trump is not capable of engaging russia there is a criminalization of diplomacy which i think is very dangerous sophi

official reason was the confrontation between russia and ukraine. but the timing has to make you wonder, coming right after michael cohen, trump's former fixer, pleaded guilty to lying to congress about efforts to build a trump tower in moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign. and it comes as we're learning tonight that one idea for marketing trump tower moscow was to offer vladimir putin the $50 million penthouse. that is according to felix sater, a russian-born one-time business associate of trump's who worked on the project with michael cohen. confronted with news of cohen's plea, the president dismissed him as weak, claimed it didn't matter because he could do whatever he wanted during the campaign. but remember, all this means is that then candidate trump was trying to do business with russia in the middle of a campaign that russia interfered in to help elect him. so let's discuss now. we have lots to discuss. john dean is here. jack quinn. good evening. today's developments, gentlemen, it's really -- just when you think it can't get any more twisted, it gets -- i know this is

you know what at the end of the day russia has lost all credibility with respect to telling the truth and most viewers of yours unfortunately are probably forgotten that we have an ongoing war with russia the last four years four years we've had daily artillery attacks we've had daily attacks by tanks we've had daily sniper fire we've had daily casualties and daily deaths unfortunately that's left the news and now suddenly we have this naval incident and it's going back into the news of course that makes sense because even the fact that ukraine has finally reacted in such a way that it brings out into the into the open what in fact is the reality and the reality is that there is a war and that russia is the aggressor for. two hours ago submitted a decree to parliament declaring martial law parliament will be in session in approximately half an hour and i would expect that there's going to be a lot of discussion tonight as to that law on basically a war measures act but ukraine is currently in a state of mobilization and it has been for the last four years but in reality what we

against russia germany in particular saying that it is still supporting the north stream to gas pipeline from russia to central europe it means that you and i think that the government has of course taken note of the criticism the north stream to first and foremost an economic project that's what we've always said but at the same time we've repeatedly indicated that it has however a political dimension to this follows on from various u.s. officials calls to enforce and to strengthen sanctions against russia we certainly encourage all european allies to a card what additional sanctions could be implemented absent at this point it's not something germany and france have said they considering but these things i think can develop over time the u.s. president donald trump himself ostend whether he's going to condemn russia's actions in the u.s. well he spoke more critically of russia than he has in a long while but he said that he's going to wait for a full report from his advisors before condemning any russian action that will be very determinative maybe i won't have the meeting may

. president wants europe to deal with escalating tensions between ukraine and russia tonight i ask if moscow pushes too far will washington simply get out of the way. this is the day. we understand now that without international support we cannot fight against enemy one of four will go a hard nut to go oh oh. about a shell issue in human history i would like to emphasize that these territorial waters were always in ourselves or even in the form of crimea joining with oppression federation yes but it's very clear high from the situation it sounds that this is also massively affecting security interests in europe foreign ministers and we don't want anybody to think that the plane thinks. the country is under the threat of a full scale war with the russian federation if you see as many of us. coming up to nine breaks it in any form will leave the u.k. worse off now who would most likely make that dire of a prediction in public well today the british government did. the analysis shows clearly that remaining in the european union would be a better outcome for the economy but not by much. w
