the military publications, as far as i understand the kremlin, the military provocations from nato from united states are there already. i don't think it's an issue of length of time, and i think it is a real possibility. this will be a military action taken. but if so, it is hardly going to be some spirit border skirmish or some seizure of search or search, or that's known by no means the strategic view of the russians who are concerned with ukraine being de facto used as a base of operations by the 9 states in a way that it would otherwise have been used, had ukraine been admitted to nato, which is presently excluded. more senate for washington than what once it got to gained by getting more stuck into what's happening in the region. for washington to losing game there, good luck. there is utterly impossible for washington to resist any military action that moscow should decide finally to take against care. but i think that the military action involved with scott, again, will be a very, very well conceived and very well executed with an intention of reducing will removing ukrainian so

these raw intelligence reports described an alleged plot being run out of the kremlin to influence the u.s. election, a plot that involved several campaign figures, allegations that the russian government had compromising information about candidate trump that they could use as leverage over him if they wanted to. all of those reports would later be published months after the election as the so-called steele dossier. in september 2016, these things were not publicly known at all. these raw intelligence reports were coming in from a trusted source and they landed at the fbi. that is how that top counterintelligence official, peter strzok, described those reports when he published a book about his experience last year. he said, quote, what was significant about the material was that it confirmed information, contours of events and players, that we knew to be accurate and consistent with our understanding of the way putin and the russians were operating. at the same time, many other pieces of steele's information, most of them in fact, were devilishly hard to either prove or refute. but p

the kremlin readout gave very few clues. the minsk readout had more details. they both expressed concern about polish soldiers moving close to the polish-belarusian border. judging by what state tv has been saying in russia, moscow is supporting alexander lukashenko and the belarusian side. mr. lukashenko gave an interview today to an editor in chief of a russian defense journal who was gushing his praise of mr. lukashenko and called him an outstanding politician that gave lukashenko the opportunity to put forward his view of the world. as he so often does, he called lack white and white black. for months now he's been accused by the european leaders of weaponizing migration. turned everything around in the interview and blamed european leaders for the current crisis. ♪ ross: let's shift from steve to the conflict in ethiopia. the u.n. says more than a dozen local staff have been detained in the capital addis ababa. we don't know why but last month several officials were expelled after being accused of meddling in ethiopia's affairs. the u.n. release a state

so it's very interesting. kremlin says stay out german say stay out. you know, i think most thinking people would say stay up with this or, and it just seems like chaos all around at this point. now when we talk about the timing, i know there has been a lot of focus on the fact that germany was looking at a federal election. now we know that we have this new coalition government in germany and it's getting a lot of pressure to reverse course on north stream to does is create more problems for the pipeline, getting up and running, getting certified. we've got about 30 seconds left. i think it could, you know, poland is one of the latest countries to come out and basically say that the new government should reverse course and not certify. and in this relationship with russia over the pipeline. and again, they're doing it for the same reasons. talking about ukraine money for ukraine. i think what we're going to see though, as, as, as high as gas prices are now. and the need, as i mentioned is winter approaches. germany is not really in a position to negot

there have been messages of support from the russian foreign minister and the kremlin today. moscow making it clear that russia and belarus are basically on the same page here, regarding this crisis. belarusian and russian officials claim the crisis has nothing to do with moscow or minsk, they blame european leaders going back to the 2019 migrant crisis in europe and bloom european leaders today for not allowing these migrants into the eu. >> as you can tell, there is an extensive blame game going on. let's have a look at the u.n.'s perspective on this, this is the high commissioner for refugees speaking to the european parliament. >> these challenges simply do not justify the knee-jerk reaction we have seen in some places. the xenophobic discourse. the walls and barbed wire. the violent pushbacks, that include the beating of refugees and migrants, sometimes stripping them naked and dumping them in rivers, or leaving them to drown in seas. paying other states to take on one's own response abilities -- responsibilities. a union based on the rule of law should and can do better

in just a few days, on the 1st or 2nd of december, the kremlin denies any such plot. it's a dramatic escalation in the war of words. russia is accused of amassing forces, poised to invade, which the kremlin also denies. president zelensky said he has evidence, including an audio recording, but no evidence has yet to be made public. he also suggested ukraine's richest man, may have been involved, something strenuously denied to cnn by the man himself. the information made public is an absolute lie. at a ukrainian citizen, country's biggest investor, taxpayer and police officer, i will defend a free ukraine and do everything i can to prevent authoritarianism and censorship. for years now, ukraine has been facing enormous pressure from the powerful russian neighbor, fighting a trench war with rush-backed rebels. it was the threat of holding back u.s. military aid that let to president trump's first impeachment. now u.s. officials arussia is engaged in destabilizing activities inside ukraine as well against the zelensky government. that is one of the reason he seems on ed
