viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i m bianca a oig. . i m max foster. just ahead russian forces trying and so far failing to make real head way in the opening stages of a new offensive. we re not only up against ukraine, but also against nato and especially the united states. to control the narrative early on. what folks are really concerned about is what happens later, what happens down the road, what happens three years from now. several buildings have collapsed. several people have been confirmed killed. hundreds injured. some of them in critical condition. live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is tuesday, february 21, 9:00 a.m. in london, 12 noon in moscow where vladimir putin is set to deliver a speech to the nation s top political and military leaders on the state of what he calls russia s special military operation in ukraine. mr. putin is expected to lay out his vision for wha

counterpart railed against the west, and the russian president once again accused the west of escalating the conflict. he also announced russia is now suspending its participation in the start nuclear arms reduction treaty. phil mattingly is in warsaw for us. phil, tell us what the u.s. reaction was specifically to the news from vladimir putin that he was going to suspend his participation in the new start treaty? it was a split screen, not one that was planned. that state of the nation address framed everything the president detailed in his lengthy remarks in warsaw. when it comes to what president putin said about the new start treaty, u.s. officials were quick to respond that it would be irresponsible and compliance wise, russia has not been fully comp compliant over the last few years, and so there s gray area here, middle ground, but it underscores what is the dissolving of the u.s. and russia relationship, and the result of russia s invasion of ukraine, it s a central
