This is GPS, the Global Public Square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around the world.

I'm Farid Zakaria coming to you live from New York.

Today on the program, the United States government warns that war in Europe may be imminent.

One after another, countries are urging their citizens to evacuate Ukraine as that country's president

and portions the West against creating panic. I'll be joined by an all-star panel to examine just how dangerous this moment may be.

Then an exclusive interview with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan.

I will ask him about his dangerous neighborhood, Afghanistan, India, China, and about Islamic terror in his country and abroad.

Let's get started right away. We'll do the take of the video.

The drumbeat of war seems to be beating ever louder as the United States says a Russian invasion of Ukraine may be imminent.

Meanwhile, a top French official tells CNN his country sees no indication from Putin that he will invade.

What is the truth? Does anyone know except Putin himself?

Let's get right to today's panel. CNN's diplomat editor, Nick Robertson, joins us from Moscow.

Sophie Petter is in Paris where she is the bureau chief for the economist and Richard Haas is the president of the council on foreign relations.

Nick, let me start with you. A crucial question many have been asking is what is the mood inside Russia?

Is Russia the government preparing the public for war? Remember all Russian media is essentially state controlled, so it would give us some indication of the Russian government's intentions?

We watch it carefully for that reason. At the moment you do see those pro-Russian separatists from the east of Ukraine on the state television here saying, look, the United States is providing weapons to the Ukrainians. Please help us and please give us weapons.

We have a lot of evidence to support that. One of the messages is on state television. Another piece of messaging is what how Western news organizations are reporting the tensions in Ukraine at the moment.

The US and Europe are driving up the tensions. The other piece that fall into place over the past few days, of course Russia is going through its big military exercises in Belarus and around other parts of Ukraine.

Russian television reporters and camera crews have been allowed in for the first time. They have been speaking with generals, soldiers, and we have listened carefully.

There is no point in speaking about the US and the US. I think generally you speak to people here. They don't incline to believe state media. There isn't a sense that the country is about to go to war.

on television and speaking about.

So there's a quasi-ready-ing of people, but not full scale.
