The course of a complete mains. 01:03.210 --> 01:06.140 We are still collecting facts and international investigators 01:06.140 --> 01:08.740 need to be given the time and space to do their jobs. 01:09.650 --> 01:13.240 But clearly was the president noted just a short while ago we 01:13.240 --> 01:16.570 see strong evidence the Malaysian airlines flight 70 was hit 01:16.570 --> 01:19.970 by a surface to air missile at an altitude of about 33000 feet. 01:20.520 --> 01:22.770 Of them as a was launch from a location near the border that 01:22.770 --> 01:24.480 is controlled by russian separates. 01:25.120 --> 01:28.540 This is an and obviously occurred in the context of a conflict fueled. 01:29.360 --> 01:32.860 By russian support for ukrainian and afford these russian separatist. 01:33.710 --> 01:37.670 And that support has and that supporters including arms materiel 01:37.670 --> 01:38.130 in training. 01:39.650 --> 01:42.480 As we investigate you did this and why this terrible tragedy 01:42.480 --> 01:45.100 underscores the need for russia to take immediate and concrete 01:45.100 --> 01:49.130 steps to de escalate the crisis in ukraine support the ukrainian 01:49.130 --> 01:51.470 government's plan for ceasefire and peace settlement. 01:53.290 --> 01:54.230 And I have a um. 01:54.740 --> 01:56.010 One of day on Cape ray. 01:56.700 --> 01:59.360 The the crew aboard the more wrestle Cape ray continue their 01:59.360 --> 02:02.960 work to neutralize material some series declared chemical stockpile. 02:03.470 --> 02:07.210 The using the installed field deplorable hydro losses systems 02:07.240 --> 02:11.160 as of this morning the crew was neutralise just over 15% of the 02:11.160 --> 02:13.380 ds which is a sarah pre cursor. 02:14.120 --> 02:16.690 Some not has been verified that the international organization 02:16.690 --> 02:21.000 for the prohibition of chemical weapons were that'll take you question. For. 02:22.280 --> 02:25.730 Injustice. Oh turnover in love that that the research these young 02:25.730 --> 02:29.200 student is that even talk a little bit of that the transfer it 02:29.200 --> 02:33.100 you have seen of russian at the weapons across the border into 02:33.100 --> 02:36.440 can create the president spoke about trainee than the whole of 02:36.440 --> 02:37.250 that can you. 02:37.940 --> 02:42.370 Goes through this jealous though latest us assessment us military assessment. 02:43.100 --> 02:47.370 Of what the russians have been doing in transferring heavy weapons 02:47.860 --> 02:51.100 surface to air missiles artillery other heavy weapons across 02:51.130 --> 02:56.140 the border to separatist on your pre inside and it training and 02:56.140 --> 02:58.550 uh and assistants they're not you believe. 02:59.090 --> 03:02.880 Person elements the russian military is getting to the separatist 03:03.220 --> 03:06.730 missing no and that Russia's support for the separatist a cease. 03:06.790 --> 03:10.180 In fact that we believe that the russia continues to provide 03:10.180 --> 03:12.980 them with heavy weapons and other military equipment financing 03:12.980 --> 03:13.430 as well. 03:14.120 --> 03:17.880 The and they continue allow these russian fighters to enter ukraine freely. 03:18.470 --> 03:22.260 Um. There have been as you know we've we've acknowledged that 03:22.450 --> 03:25.680 that some tanks armored personnel vehicles. 03:26.230 --> 03:31.750 A havoc have made their way across the border them is that it 03:31.750 --> 03:36.770 is been a steady concerted campaign by a Russia's military to 03:36.810 --> 03:41.460 continue to support and resources to advise the the separates 03:41.910 --> 03:45.830 the scene. There are some video appearing on the BBC is to get 03:45.830 --> 03:50.090 a video to be seen evidence that an asset Levin or the missile 03:50.090 --> 03:54.620 system the cross the border at some point from russia into ukraine. 03:55.290 --> 03:59.020 And what can you tell us about this is to leave the sophistication 03:59.020 --> 04:03.160 and training that would be needed by russian separatist to actually 04:03.160 --> 04:05.040 be able to operate effectively. 04:05.690 --> 04:10.570 Specific information about any boop system. I'm making that transit. 04:11.130 --> 04:13.120 We're not ruling anything in our out at this point. 04:13.830 --> 04:15.100 Um it is a. 04:15.990 --> 04:19.220 It is a sophisticated that said it's a sophisticated system. 04:20.000 --> 04:23.420 The missile itself the essay 11 which is the one we believe was used. 04:24.050 --> 04:30.120 Um to down a flight 17 um is a sophisticated piece of technology 04:30.310 --> 04:33.230 um and uh it duck. 04:34.980 --> 04:37.760 It. It's strange ability to think that. 04:38.780 --> 04:42.870 They they can be used by separatist without at least some measure 04:43.230 --> 04:46.790 of russian support and technical systems you just do it on their own. 04:47.430 --> 04:50.120 At civic strange. But only to think that they're they they can 04:50.120 --> 04:53.250 do this without some measure of russian support systems about. 04:54.830 --> 04:57.850 Idea dead but there's a lot this gonna be investigated and I 04:57.850 --> 05:01.930 think uh uh we more um we wanna let investigators said do their work. 05:01.960 --> 05:05.710 Now I can't wait to don't have an indication now that that a 05:05.710 --> 05:10.800 system was brought over um and uh and we don't exactly know I'm. 05:11.300 --> 05:16.500 A who's responsible a out for firing a missile or with a a a 05:16.500 --> 05:17.020 with what. 05:17.700 --> 05:19.680 That assistance what I'm saying is that. 05:20.210 --> 05:22.790 That system is fairly sophisticated will too. 05:24.040 --> 05:27.800 What is the level of their training and assistance of doesn't 05:27.800 --> 05:31.520 include russian forces going across the border in the ukraine 05:31.780 --> 05:35.460 to workers advisors or trainer's side-by-side with the separatist. 05:36.310 --> 05:38.660 Well they've been russian. I mean there than in persons across 05:38.660 --> 05:41.950 aboard by russian a aircraft janine the 05:43.250 --> 05:46.920 And and we have we don't have any reason to suspect that they haven't. 05:47.620 --> 05:50.660 Provided some measure support on the other side of the border 05:50.660 --> 05:51.050 me nice. 05:51.690 --> 05:55.210 Para military forces that that that we don't talk about is much anymore. 05:55.640 --> 06:00.230 I'm certainly didn't I'm actor behave are one organizer resource 06:00.230 --> 06:02.110 like a some rag de galicia. 06:02.790 --> 06:08.590 Um so nobody suggesting that the that russian have a. 06:09.350 --> 06:15.820 Military advice and assistance has it somehow across that border um. 06:15.850 --> 06:20.030 It's just unclear exactly how much in and wanna and and who and 06:20.070 --> 06:22.790 again that's what the investigators are gonna look at we go and 06:22.790 --> 06:23.980 do that just. 06:24.540 --> 06:29.300 We do that when the president announced the sanctions are directly 06:29.300 --> 06:32.410 on the maker this is a a system just today before. 06:33.350 --> 06:36.550 I won't get into that stop process behind the president's sir 06:36.820 --> 06:41.790 specific decisions um but clearly and these are a another round 06:41.790 --> 06:47.110 of targeted sanctions them uh uh designed to to change to cap 06:47.110 --> 06:50.110 years in prison and produced behavior nas decision-making cat. 06:50.710 --> 06:52.170 Uh but um. 06:52.820 --> 06:55.600 What your book. It does seem to think what you're suggesting 06:55.600 --> 07:00.650 is that that as the I I have no information that that that's 07:00.650 --> 07:03.890 the case and I'm an second version of the what's the working 07:03.960 --> 07:08.480 theory about the intent was this a and intended military target 07:08.850 --> 07:12.740 on our ride were was this simply an act of terrorism. 07:13.540 --> 07:16.910 We don't know the and that's what we go at investigators for go. 07:16.910 --> 07:20.170 We don't know what the motive was here and you had what what 07:20.170 --> 07:21.610 is your works theory. What is your. 07:22.250 --> 07:22.840 Working here. 07:23.760 --> 07:25.930 I don't think we have a working day at this point just and I 07:25.930 --> 07:29.830 mean this jesse tapping yesterday. There's a a teams of investigators 07:29.830 --> 07:32.750 now trying to get to the site and pour through this and I mean 07:32.750 --> 07:34.630 it's we just have to let them do their job. 07:36.050 --> 07:39.970 The the role of the People in this department has said before 07:39.970 --> 07:43.440 that there are about to and 12000 regular russian troops inside 07:43.760 --> 07:46.840 the russian side of the border a which is a buildup from a couple 07:46.840 --> 07:50.890 weeks ago is that still your estimate have those forces change 07:50.920 --> 07:54.490 since this attack yesterday the can you tell us about you know 07:54.490 --> 07:57.250 as much she can what they're doing a what their posture is in 07:57.250 --> 08:00.620 terms of potential are makers and as a precaution that I don't 08:00.620 --> 08:04.870 know any other a major changed to that presents. It's roughly 08:04.870 --> 08:07.860 still about 10 to 12000 and that fluctuate so little bit. 08:08.420 --> 08:11.850 From week-to-week that that that point is that it is been a a 08:11.970 --> 08:16.620 a over time and a steady increase of a of these combined arms 08:16.620 --> 08:20.480 a a a a tactical battalions a across the border on the russian 08:20.480 --> 08:24.590 side a but to to the southeast of a of ukraine. 08:25.400 --> 08:29.730 And they're close to the border. I'm a in the many cases closer 08:29.730 --> 08:33.710 than the than those forces that who were more like a a aligned 08:33.710 --> 08:37.120 along the east if you remember we had you know tens of thousands. 08:37.710 --> 08:41.290 Of that were um that were along the eastern border with ukraine 08:41.360 --> 08:45.370 but not as close as um as these units that appear to be. 08:46.070 --> 08:49.460 All they're going is further escalating tension. It's difficult 08:49.460 --> 08:52.510 to know what the intent is that's a question you should asked 08:52.510 --> 08:56.200 the russian ministry of defence but they're they're they're growing 08:56.200 --> 08:59.650 in size week by week and they continue to just do nothing more 08:59.650 --> 09:03.410 than the escalate the tension. So so forces providing the weapons 09:03.410 --> 09:07.110 and support the discretionary go to the separatist wars that 09:07.110 --> 09:10.740 process separate from these regular seen any indication that 09:10.740 --> 09:14.750 are actively involved in in the provision of support to the separatist 09:14.750 --> 09:18.070 nine and seen that but they are continuing to mass alongside 09:18.070 --> 09:20.770 that a southern part of a border just to look. 09:21.710 --> 09:27.500 Do not now single forces does that include air defense artillery 09:27.530 --> 09:32.440 a system like the essay alleging that was used noble asian is 09:32.510 --> 09:35.460 have you seen air defense equipment on the russian side of the 09:35.460 --> 09:38.880 border in the film that I am and the tories what they've got 09:38.880 --> 09:42.140 when I'm just and date as I said dare go we assess that these 09:42.140 --> 09:45.400 are combined armed units in other words that's it's uh uh. 09:45.400 --> 09:49.310 It's not just infantry troops but they have artillery capability 09:49.310 --> 09:52.690 that got armored capability of an actor combined arms and and 09:52.690 --> 09:56.290 they're very ready. I'm that this is very at capable. 09:56.840 --> 10:00.020 A force though smaller in number them. What was aligned along 10:00.020 --> 10:02.780 the border before but I don't have a complete inventory with that. 10:02.780 --> 10:07.070 Yeah and you have it estimate. I has written about 12000 russian 10:07.070 --> 10:11.420 troops on the border in the russian side. Obviously the us is 10:11.420 --> 10:16.290 been tracking. You know the work of all russian special operations 10:16.290 --> 10:20.700 forces russian advisers russian intelligence services in ukraine 10:20.740 --> 10:23.170 is there and it 's and that of. 10:23.850 --> 10:29.970 Uh the sorrows of the advisory prices inside the eastern ukraine 10:29.970 --> 10:31.530 by by russian. 10:32.060 --> 10:35.160 Forces is that I am full is about phallic eyes. 10:35.840 --> 10:37.280 A number flurry on the any. 10:38.300 --> 10:41.150 And he and that's less important than the fact that they continued 10:41.150 --> 10:41.560 to do it. 10:42.100 --> 10:47.030 I'm and that and we continue to see this support and resourcing 10:47.340 --> 10:51.010 and that a advice given to the separatist groups and uh we have 10:51.010 --> 10:54.010 every indication to to get that that that support. 10:54.560 --> 10:58.070 Um it's russian in coming from the russian by him. 10:58.790 --> 11:03.890 Really there there are a very there's the russian support for 11:03.890 --> 11:06.670 of the separatist inside ukraine next to. 11:07.250 --> 11:12.360 The Remote was here couples go.

I was as we can um uh and and 12:07.460 --> 12:11.350 we've been and nobody in the Pentagon has been shy about talking 12:11.350 --> 12:15.290 about love that continued threat posed by the separatist elements 12:15.290 --> 12:17.540 inside ukraine norm frankly by those. 12:18.110 --> 12:21.730 Combined arms forces that continue to a continual mass along 12:21.730 --> 12:22.160 the border. 12:22.760 --> 12:26.510 So. This is going over the years government increases surveillance 12:26.540 --> 12:31.120 of the area along with her and and no way comes to Cesto. I did 12:31.120 --> 12:35.610 I would you say that the we're we're monitoring events the As 12:35.610 --> 12:38.890 closely as we can them and I really don't have any more at once 12:39.080 --> 12:41.980 it's increased about a world or what my chain dances close. 12:41.980 --> 12:42.540 It. You can. 12:43.060 --> 12:45.150 Barely above a digital free the pot. 12:45.710 --> 12:49.020 Are there any warnings given to commercial airline companies 12:49.020 --> 12:52.660 or any civilian a allen authorities about the systems with it 12:52.790 --> 12:56.330 this little training quarter of the committee play wasn't noticed 12:56.330 --> 13:00.140 air and tear and the to airman put out I think you guys know 13:00.140 --> 13:02.370 that the that to the to. 13:03.380 --> 13:05.860 Mourn Sabrina aircrafts to to fly. 13:06.500 --> 13:10.560 Uh uh to take care over this guy's of ukraine and to fly at higher 13:10.560 --> 13:13.390 altitudes up not an expert all the process.

I I I think the president's been 14:24.240 --> 14:27.670 very clear about a about what the responsibilities navigation 14:27.670 --> 14:30.430 of president proving and and Moscow are right. 14:31.280 --> 14:34.450 Um which used to de escalated tension the respected the territorial 14:34.450 --> 14:38.910 integrity of ukraine on and to cease the support for the separatist 14:38.910 --> 14:42.020 activities which as I said at the outset continues in in some 14:42.020 --> 14:43.230 cases is intensified. 14:44.290 --> 14:45.860 Since your citizens summit. 14:46.400 --> 14:49.010 Bobbing just yesterday that could I don't know in a. 14:49.570 --> 14:52.090 Big delta between their support from the estimated today. 14:52.090 --> 14:55.540 But we haven't seen any sign that it's not that it that it at 14:55.540 --> 14:56.010 a stop. 14:57.090 --> 14:58.870 Yeah. The role of. 14:59.520 --> 15:02.510 There had been previous yesterday's tragedy. There had been. 15:03.030 --> 15:07.740 Two or three the at least a ukrainian transport plane shot down. 15:08.270 --> 15:13.520 An This year intelligence senior analogy indicate that the system 15:13.520 --> 15:18.120 that shot down playing yesterday was it more par for more sophisticated 15:18.510 --> 15:22.570 system requiring more printing there was a similar to the system 15:22.570 --> 15:24.700 that was used to shoot down ukrainian trip to. 15:25.280 --> 15:26.740 That it's a. 15:27.510 --> 15:31.000 A again we're investigating this a right now. 15:31.510 --> 15:37.100 That it's a unclear a exactly what brought down the the other 15:37.100 --> 15:38.380 aircraft you're talking about. 15:39.160 --> 15:44.340 Them and we know they were shot down but the Those the that those 15:44.340 --> 15:47.320 incidents are still being looked into and and I don't have any 15:47.320 --> 15:48.910 great visibility on on. 15:49.470 --> 15:50.560 What brought them down. 15:51.290 --> 15:54.430 But I'd like to just can't bring it back to the larger point 15:54.430 --> 15:55.000 here is. 15:55.660 --> 15:57.750 The these aircraft are being shocked. 15:58.900 --> 16:03.740 Um and that was unclear is exactly who is pulling the trigger here. 16:04.270 --> 16:07.160 It's pretty clear that it's doing nothing to de escalate the 16:07.160 --> 16:12.630 tension inside ukraine and to brain uh to this crisis a peaceful resolution. 16:13.390 --> 16:16.760 Um and now innocent people simply flying from. 16:17.390 --> 16:21.480 The from one city to another a have been killed in and broaden 16:21.480 --> 16:24.370 the that's. Not so let's not lose sight of the big picture. 16:24.370 --> 16:26.160 It's it it matters a lot less. 16:26.840 --> 16:29.850 Uh you know. Exactly what system that was a lot more that it 16:29.850 --> 16:31.220 happened in pieces stop. 16:31.970 --> 16:35.630 Quiff oh oh dutily is it never shot.

That's now 29:11.360 --> 29:15.830 there's no consideration possibly acts that I will be tied to 29:15.830 --> 29:16.580 date spot. 29:17.290 --> 29:19.910 As a symbol for were constantly reviewing it. Right. Now the 29:19.910 --> 29:22.370 focus remains on an leaf on a tough one that. 29:22.980 --> 29:26.100 Is just to some of the me investor Carson very clearly that is 29:26.230 --> 29:29.760 this a 11 operated from the suffered this publication eastern ukraine. 29:30.260 --> 29:33.100 In you keep talking but investigators as the only real question 29:33.350 --> 29:37.480 whether it was russians wifi separatist fire began.
