the state department as well. make sure they understand the so-called russian playbook, what the russians could get up to, and hope that that would be enough to persuade putin, it will be too hard to carry something out. but as we sit here tonight, i think everyone agrees there's just simply no indication that putin is about to change his mind and we have this bottom line situation where the world is holding its breath based on what may be going on in the mind of just one man. yamiche: and dan, certainly as barbara just said, the world is holding its breath. i wonder when you talk about -- when we think about this information warfare that's going on between two nuclear powers we have to remind folks that it's information warfare but between two countries that have nuclear capabilities here, talk a bit about how president biden sees this and in particular, why he doesn't see it as in u.s. interests to send in troops to defend the sovereignty of ukraine at this time. dan: well, yamiche, there's no -- there's no appe

the state department and treasury department were trying to impotion sanctions. they called out putin as a bad guy. how does this president work when he has an issue with vladimir putin which right now his team is at the white house? >> it's a team experienced in dealing with russia and vladimir putin and the issues. you have seen in the posture that the white house and the administration has taken over the last several weeks, a willingness to get on their front foot, be more proactive than reactive. it's far different than what we saw from the obama administration where many of these same officials once served either in the state department or nsc, kind of across the administration. to some degree, it's very much a lessons learned. when you have dealt with vladimir putin, you've seen how he operates whether in misinformation, false flags, all of those types of issues, they made a clear calculation to be more forward with what they are seeing on the intelligence side of things to the degree they could without making clear who the sources or methods were than perh

. >> matthew, just moments ago we got word that the united states, the state department is suspended operations at the u.s. embassy in the belarusian capitol of minsk. in that same announcement, if i read it correctly, it's beginning the roll tear withdrawal of u.s. personnel from the u.s. embassy in moscow. you're standing on the russian side of the border right now, what does that indicate you in terms of u.s. concerns maybe about americans in moscow? >> reporter: well, i think there certainly would be a lot of concern at this point in time when you're seeing the diplomatic relations between the countries really deteriorate. one of the things that vladimir putin has said in the past and seems to be indicating right now is there are going to be consequences from the russian side for all of these sanctions that the u.s. is imposing, the u.s. and its allies are imposing. it really seems as though the situation -- it's pretty clear that the situation between the u.s. and russia and also, obviously -- between russia and the u.s.'s western allies seems to be deteriorating really quickly.

the state department is telling all u.s. citizens in ukraine and neighboring belarus to get out right now. kylie atwood has more from the state department. what more are you learning? >> they have opened this center along the ukrainian/poland border for all the americans they're encouraging to leave the country. as you know, the state department has been telling americans in the country to leave for quite some time now. dating back to late last year. but there are calls for americans to depart have become much more urgent in the past few weeks and the past few days, say it is past time for americans to leave. the reason for that is because they are concerned about the worst case scenario, there could be a russian invasion, it could include aerial bombings, that would then potentially kill americans, who choose to stay behind. they got this welcome center, now set up, to help americans who are leaving the country. and, of course, this comes as the biden administration is also now telling americans in belarus that they should

state department. >> united kingdom, canada, japan, and australia. our german allies yesterday took resolute action to ensure that the nord stream 2 pipeline, what had been a prized $11 billion investment on the part of the russian federation, is suspended indefinitely and as you have just seen, president biden today authorized sanctions on nord stream 2 ag and its corporate office holders. we have now taken complimentary action using our own authorities to ensure that nord stream 2 is off the table just as we said it would be. we are blocking from the global financial system two large banks that are connected to the kremlin and russian military and russian sovereign wealth can no longer trade on u.s. or european financial markets. as you know, we additionally sanctioned russian elites. those elites who are in many ways complicit. this is the beginning of our response. if putin escalates further, we will escalate further using additional sanctions and export controls, which we've yet to unveil, but are fully prepared to implement with allies and part

well, that's according to the us state department and their latest announcement, citing this is a sign of escalation between the 2 countries. only problem is barton gorman and his family left the country over a week ago. the escalation coverage has more dominant than actually the escalation aggressive actions that says of now, as a mother, i don't want any of my friends to receive that devastating phone call their loved one has been killed in a war, which has nothing to do with american security as a journalist, i owe it to those who watch the show to do the research and make sure the truth is told to be the best of what is available. this is why all this week we have tried to bring the facts and the reality of the situation ukraine. because unlike secretary blinking, i can honestly say i am not here today to start a war, but to actually prevent what let's discuss. i want to bring in the former naval intelligence officer, john jordan and jackson ingle, political activists, and host the dive power guys, thank you so much for joining the gentleman. thank you for having us be or jack? i'm

i think the state department is just desperate for a wind, but we've known for quite some time did their individual offices don't talk with each other very well. so maybe the people who run to iran desk are like, well here gregory. great opportunity to score when in the middle east, but the russia desk is going well, no, we're, we're going to do our own thing. who knows? it's just one of those. these are the same. people who were running the show back can during the obama administration, and they created quite a mess back then, especially with ukraine and expecting them to fix it now is, is a total order. i think like that. i think it's very interesting that you have france and germany and those that are saying we want nothing ever because they know if war was to break out, it'd be in their toria, tory, they're also saying the right way of calm down the state of this diplomatically us, i mean, our gas prices here in the u. s. are terrible right now, and they only get worse in case of a war, but the european stand to actually freeze during the winter. so they know what they're talking abo

but i was really hoping. >> ned price: release danny immediately. >> stahl: the state department made repeated appeals. >> price: we remain deeply concerned over the continued detention of danny fenster. >> stahl: but the u.s. government hasn't recognized the legitimacy of the junta, so even getting information about danny was difficult. after a month, he was finally allowed periodic phone calls with his family. >> bryan fenster: it was hard. i mean, there were many calls we had with him where he was in tears. you're trying to find the words for him, you know, after one month, two months, three months, four months. >> stahl: back in washington, danny's case had fallen under the mandate of roger carstens, one of the few state department officials held over from the trump administration. he's a man with a tough job and an odd-sounding title. you're called speha. what does that mean, speha? >> roger carstens: it's special presidential envoy for hostage affairs. so, everyone truncates it into speha. >> stahl: the speha office was created in 2015, after an internal review of u.s. hostage p

is moving its state department operations from kyiv to western ukraine. can you explain more about what went into that decision? >> right. the state department certainly felt as though an attack from russia could happen at any point within the next 24 to 48 hours, so much so that they decided to get a majority of their personnel out to the western part of the country, a city called tel aviv, which is near the polish border where there are many u.s. forces stationed and ready to go. again, the u.s. is looking to handle this situation diplomatically but not taking any chances here. they have urged all americans to get out of the country, so that they are not victims of any sort of crossfire, should russia invade. and we have to pay attention to what we are seeing from russia in terms of their troops posture right now. the u.s. officials are reporting that around 130 troops are encircling ukraine, as a whole, with military practices happening in belarus as well as the black sea. there is genuine concern that something may happen. we don't know what russian p

i would pray to the state department. typically when we reduce a presence, that means they depart the country but i can check with them and get you more details on that. typically it means they would return to a home base. reporter: what is the administration's current assessment of putin's strategy in the black sea? is it to cut off ukraine's naval access? ms. psaki: in terms of the exercises? our assessment is this is a part of ongoing escalatory action, whether military exercises or the buildup of more troops, that we have seen at the border. in terms of what it means and what he is preparing for, i would point you to whatever national security advisor just said. we continue to assess our role here, to prepare for a range of steps he may take. beyond that, i don't have any prediction of what that means. reporter: as the u.s. shared the latest intelligence with ukraine? does the u.s. feel the ukraine government is properly preparing its citizens for the possibility of a war, but they keep downplaying it? ms. psaki: i wi

what is the state department saying about this mix-up what did they hear from the kremlin yesterday? >> nothing yet this morning from the state department since the kremlin has said there was, you know this mix-up. the way the state department characterized what they received from russia yesterday was a written follow-up. they didn't go much further. they didn't say it was substantive, they didn't say they were taking it seriously. they didn't characterize it, it demonstrates there probably wasn't a whole lot in there. we're waiting this morning for secretary of state antony blinken to speak with his russian counterpart and we'll see if they can push the ball forward on diplomacy at all. russia did initially give some readouts of this initial written response that the u.s. gave to russia last week saying it didn't address their central concerns, which is the eastward expansion of nato, the expansion of nato generally speaking. we have a map to show you just the presence that nato has along the eastern flank of europe there. that is what russia is concerned about. that is their centra

. >> the chief net -- international correspondent from the state department. >> a very public show of support for president zelensky. not less than three european prime ministers in kiev today. no wonder the members of parliament, no matter what side politically, all stood up and held up the flags of the nations giving support to ukraine. it was a forest of flags. president zelensky will feel very much that the european countries and nato has his back. he made it clear in that press conference today that if there is to be an invasion of ukraine or the military, it would not be a ukrainian war, it would be a european war. this is a chance to redraw the security map and all stand together. steps of prime ministers but also military support. but also economic support in the minds of the ukrainians. >> let's bring you and barbara at the state department. what are you hearing there? barbara: secretary blinken had meeting with his counterparts this morning. there wasn't any movement that came out of it. at least not that we could see. the tone was professional and firm. they said it makes a

of defense, the state department. so there is a lot of dialogue in spite of what is sometimes the feeling that we have become to partisan to talk to each other. i think in terms of energy, your question is a good one because finding substitutes for russian gas in europe is a major challenge. we do not have that kind of export capability to instantly turned around. we are actually importing oil from russia ourselves, something that people tend to forget. and shifting that is not something that we can instantly accomplish, although we have the resources to do it. one of the things that this interacts with is, if we are going to reduce dependence on possible fuels, that reduction also limits the importance of russian exports. so oddly enough this is one case where our strategic military interests coincide with our environmental interests. although we are talking about a decade or more to really make progress. host: we have about 15 minutes, but i want to follow up on that because the caller asked about president xi's vie

the state department as well. make sure they understand the so-called russian playbook, what the russians could get up to, and hope that that would be enough to persuade putin, it will be too hard to carry something out. but as we sit here tonight, i think everyone agrees there's just simply no indication that putin is about to change his mind and we have this bottom line situation where the world is holding its breath based on what may be going on in the mind of just one man. yamiche: and dan, certainly as barbara just said, the world is holding its breath. i wonder when you talk about -- when we think about this infoation warfare that's going on between two nuclear powers we have to remind folks that it's information warfare but between two countries that have nuclear capabilities here, talk a bit about how president biden sees this and in particular, why he doesn't see it as in u.s. interests to send in troops to defend the sovereignty of ukraine at this time. dan: well, yamiche, there's no -- there's no appeti

for days the state department has said they're not closing the embassy now. we've heard officially today the u.s. embassy here in kiev has been shuttered and the core team that was here is moving to a city that is 40 miles from the polish border. a major disconnect with cashing on the and kiev. ukrainians are not worried about the russian threat. the ukrainian president says we're not worried. russian forces could invade with little or no warning, washington says and 130,000 troops to the north, not just the east or the south but also at sea as well, martha. >> martha: quick question or the you. i want to go back to the beginning of your report. you said it's your understanding that president zelensky and ukraine, when he says they're coming wednesday, he says it in a sarcastic tone as that it will happen wednesday at 2:00 or something? >> he said we've been told that this invasion will happen on wednesday. that's the direct translation. we're hearing from our interpreters and colleagues here on the ground. the ukrainians saying this is a sarcastically that t

the state department saying that is just plain false. and they're doing it in real time. it is significant because what they are saying is that we expected this, and now, as we are seeing it playing it out, we are calling it what it is, disinformation, a false pretext. >> we're awaiting this meeting of the united nations security council. can anything come of that realistically at this late point? >> it's a good question. i think it's a significant point for the international community to come once again together and condemn what russia is doing here, as they maintain this aggressive force posture and could potentially carry out this invasion. but this is more symbolic than it is anything else. it is more political than it is anything else because what we could see from the united nations tonight are a tremendous number of countries coming out against russia. but there is no indication that as they have done that over the last few days in these u.n. meetings that it has changed anything about what russia is planning here. >> what is the u.s., kylie, bracing for in terms o

kylie atwood joins us from the state department. kylie, do we know anything more specific about the threat that led the diplomats to leave, at least temporarily, and whether that's -- whether that was specific to that night or an ongoing one? >> i think it is an ongoing threat. they spoke about security concerns generally speaking, the state department didn't say there was a specific concern about lviv, but did get diplomats out country overnight, in case anything happened. they're moving them back into the country today. we'll continue to watch that, because it is an indication of where the united states believes russia could be going with a further invasion into ukraine, of course. and then the other thing we're keeping an eye on is this planned meeting between secretary of state tony blinken and foreign minister lavrov that is supposed to take place on thursday in geneva. as of now, the state department has not canceled that meeting. but the prospects for diplomacy are growing dimmer by the hour. listen to what the deputy nation
