>> and welcome to all you want. using us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. cnn speaks with the ukrainian president at the munich security conference about american the stalled aid as russia's invasion intensifies, plus a fine of $355 million doing the perfect job >> donald trump's business taking a massive hit. the former president ordered to pay nearly 355 million plus interest look at the impact this will have on the trump empire and demands for answers about the reported death of jailed russian opposition leader alexey navalny, wasn't biden we're who he holds responsible for much land sea

>> cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy took the stage at the annual munich security conference moments ago, and he spoke with cnn's christiane amanpour about stalled us aid and urged his allies to make security a reality again, comes as his troops are running critically short of ammunition and they pulled back from the strategic city of defka in the donetsk region amanpour, us on ski about republican lawmakers in the us congress who are blocking some $60 billion there's a new aid for ukraine. here's an extended excerpt of what he said >> i will have meeting with centers today. where have i think we will have data, speech with detail. they have to understand what's going on. and i think that's i don't want to push such message to united states if you go, they did a lot for us, did a lot. i see nancy pelosi. thank you so

much. >> we did together a lot. thank you. from our people, from all our hard thing >> yes, we have >> to work in one in one join team that the answer. if ukraine will be alone, you had to understand what will via russia will destroy us destroy baltic destroy poland, and they can do it. >> yesterday, i had >> berdyans, we're seeing where he useful. i think dialogues with was john government and also with france partners and i said we're clearly and very honestly if you will remind that was what was going on in ukraine in 2014 hour we will be not ready for the war, for the quick

calculation of crimea, part of donbas. and then during, during almost eight years there's people began to be ready for such aggression. not only with weapon is not the question of weapon you already psychologically. >> and my >> to my mind, i think so no god bless you will not have any attacks from russia, but, but, but to my mind that in europe there is no any nations for today who was ready for invasion because not because we are stronger or better, not of course, we are the same with the same willis, but we had these, all these years. and you're nations didn't have and psychological and informationally and in media you didn't prepare your nations understanding why,

because nobody wants nobody wants it. i mean, that's why that's why senators have to understand only in week in unity, we can win russia and they have to understand that we will win with them or not. we don't have any other way. we have only one land, our ukraine another major topic at the munich security conference as the death of russian opposition leader alexey navalny. president joe biden says he has no doubt that vladimir we're putin is to blame russia as prison service says navalny lost consciousness after a walk and that an ambulance crew tried to resuscitate him. the kremlin says statements by western leaders about navalny's deaths are quote, rabid and unacceptable i'll president biden doesn't agree. here's what he had to say >> make no mistake make no mistake. putin is responsible for an on his debt. and as people across russia and around

the world are mourning navalny today because he was so many things that putin was not. he was brave he was principal who is dedicated to building a russia where the rule of law existed. he knew it was a cause worth fighting for and obviously even dying for former cnn moscow bureau chief nathan hodge joins us now from london. so nathan, i want to start there with the reaction to navalny's death. we heard both president biden and president zelenskyy in different ways using navalny's death is proof that putin needs to be stopped. and as an appeal for aid, so take us through the reaction whether you think it might actually lead to more support for ukraine >> will kim i think it's important to point out right now that the death of zelenskyy, in many ways is i think it's likely to fail focus minds on the nature of putin's regime this is a country that we're basically all political competition has

been cleared from the landscape and we are coming up on, you know, presidential elections next month in russia, where there is not going to be any kind of serious opposition figures, someone up certainly of the stature of navalny on the ballot because over the past 20 years of putin's rule russian civil society has essentially been crushed and independent media, there has been, have been muzzled so this in a lot of ways is not really an election. it's kind of a re-indictment a sort of plebiscite, you could say which the kremlin wants to hold a kind of form of political theater to show that the russian people are behind putin. so i thought it was very interesting what president zelenskyy of ukraine had to say today at the munich next security forum, where he took direct aim at the legitimacy of putin and his style of rule. take a listen putin kill

whoever he wants an opposition leader, or anyone else who seems at the target exactly to him after the murder of alexey navalny >> it's absolute two perceive putin at a supposedly legitimate hat of a russian state this i think a lot of ways speaks clearly to >> what many of the services i said is that russia is penal system in and of itself, regardless of what we find out about the cause of navalny's death, is a system that's set up to crush people, much like russia is draconian media laws, which were introduced after the full-scale invasion of ukraine which essentially outlawed criticism of the military and essentially made it illegal to call a war, a war. so certainly i think that to your question

the death of navalny, i think will be a clarifying moment, especially at a time when aid to ukraine is remains stalled in the us congress, kim appreciate that nathan hodge in london. thank you so much likely 2024, us presidential nominee for the republican party is now facing a massive financial penalty in new york on friday, the judge ordered donald trump to pay nearly 300 $55 million for fraudulently inflating the value of his properties and interests could make that fine swelled to some 450 million. trump also got a three-year ban on serving in certain top roles at new york businesses. he's already vowed to appeal >> they crooked do york state judge just ruled that i have to pay a fine of $355 million for having built a perfect company. great cash, great buildings,

great everything. and its elected i shouldn't interfering. so i just want to thank you for being here. will appeal will be successful. >> now, in order to appeal, trump has to come up with the full amount of the judgment or secure a bond using assets as collateral thanks. ruling also bars him from applying for loans from new york banks, zell trump is likely to remain defiant. cnn's paula reid has that former. >> president trump's showing no signs of changing out his combative and remorseless strategy when it comes to his many legal cases, he's often attacked judge prosecutors, courts, staff, even as sexual abuse survivor. but it appears to be working for him politically because he continues to do it. and if you listened to voters coming out of voting booths in the primaries, his supporters do believe his talking points that he's the victim of an unfair system. now usually no one in their right mind would attack a judge overseeing a case they're involved in. but that's where his interests as a candidate

and a defendant appear to diverge. but the stakes are about to get a lot higher for the former president in just a few weeks, he's going to face a criminal trial. his first criminal trial here in new york. so far all the cases we've covered and these verdicts had been civil cases. but he is expected, as we saw the other day in court, he is expected to take just as aggressive just as combative and loud murder and approach to that case as he has the civil cases. and it's unclear how that is going to play politically for them while it may work with his base, it's unclear how possible criminal conviction will resonate with the general electorate. paula reid, cnn, new york. >> the hearing on donald trump's georgia election subversion case has ended for now, a judge will decide whether they're fulton county district attorney, fani willis should be disqualified from the case because of alleged financial misconduct in her personal relationship with lead prosecutor nathan wade. >> will didn't return to the witness stand on friday after

her contentious testimony on thursday. but willis, his father, john floyd, did take the stand. he corroborated his daughter's testimony that he taught her to keep plenty of cash at home will its testified thursday, she used cash to pay wade back for vacations. they took together weights, former law partner, terrence bradley was also called the stan. bradley testified he didn't know when willis and wade started their relationship. >> all right. i >> want to bring in bernarda villalona, who's a criminal defense attorney and former new your prosecutor. and she joins us from new york. thanks so much for being with us this early. so i want to start with the trump fraud trial, that huge judgment. i mean, what stood out to you from the room? pulling >> what stood out to me is the scathing opinion that the judge issued in terms of calling donald trump pretty much a pathological liar that he's not able to see reality. >> what >> i liked about the opinion polls so is that the judge went straight to the integrity to the brand, to the legacy, to

the man of donald trump, because remember, donald trump built his legacy and his name and roles to price yesterday as being accessed sex for a successful businessman. and what this judge did and what this opinion did was actually call him out and say that you built your fortune on fraud so we heard trump say he'll appeal. how likely is it that he might succeed? do you think >> it's highly unlikely that he won't succeed on appeal and the reasons are is that the judge went to great extent in putting a an opinion together that actually addressed every witness and addressing every witness. he addressed credibility and when it comes to credibility, appellate courts do not touch credibility don't focus on the facts itself, especially since this judge made a determination on credibility, including i might point out that michael cohen, who is the key witness in a new york criminal case. this judge

found him to be credible yeah. >> well, listen, you anticipated my next question because he's he's going to be a central figure in the stormy daniels case. so the fact that he was believable to this judge does does that bode well for his believability in the next case >> well, i mean, it depends because in the ends into new york case is going to be a jury that's going to decide his fate. a jury is going to decide the credibility of the witnesses and whether the prosecution proves that case beyond a reasonable doubt. but here we have michael cohen who went 2019 is the person or 2017 is the person who bought all this information out about donald trump actually committing fraud is now not only just key to civil case where he's been found liable for this 350 he 5 judgment, but also key in the criminal case. but guess what? the new york jury, the new york voters, the new york jury pool is hearing all about this. so the question

will be, will it affect their decision making in the criminal trial? >> now, trump's republican rival, nikki haley, said she doesn't want the rnc to become the piggy bank to fund trump's legal defense fund. i mean, is that likely is it? legal? i mean, can he use party or campaign funds to pay all of the money that he owes now, so normally with campaign funds or nothing it feels to be using campaign funds on things that are not related to the campaign. now, this civil judgment against donald trump has nothing to do with the campaign of him running for president, of him being president of him working as a as president. so he shouldn't be using that campaign money however, donald trump has been requesting money for this specific purpose of funding his legal defense. so he's making his donors oh, aware of that that that is the purpose of

them donating that money so as long as he's making the donors aware of that, it should not be an issue, but don't need to ask, are you there piggy bank or you, donald trump's piggy bank. because as of now he is spending millions and millions of dollars on his legal defense in terms of the republican pack? yes. nikki haley is correct. that pac is supposed to be for the whole republican candidates and the party itself. and it seems that donald trump is hogging all that he's also stack the rnc with his supporters. all right. i want to turn now to the efforts to disqualify fani willis in the georgia case. so looking at the big picture, what do you make the case so far? wait do you think it might go based on the testimony we saw that case was completely a shallow way, wasn't complete. show the defense attorneys of put up for the public and it's unfortunate that fani willis had to undergo that. it's unfortunately that mr. wade had

to undergo that is unfortunate that what we're talking about is the performance inside of the courtroom and what information we learned as opposed to what the real issue is. and who is actually on trial and that being donald trump and his co-defendants, in terms of how the judge will rule, the judge will not disqualify da fani willis from this case. there was not any evidence to show there was a conflict of interests. there was no evidence to show that fani willis hide mr. wade, and in this personal relationship was gaining a financial interests? not at all. so i expect a decision to come forward in the next few weeks or so and fani willis to continue as the district attorney on this prosecution >> all right. we'll see if here. right. always appreciate speaking with you. we're not villlona in new york thank you so much. >> thank you, kim. >> all right. just ahead. report the palestinians fleeing rafah over fears of israel's

bring us up-to-date on the latest on rafah hey, give you answers. that people are starting to flee northward already because of intensifying airstrikes and also because of the >> signals that have been coming out of israel that there is this looming ground invasion coming for rafah. and so people are headed north past the areas where there is active fighting happening on the ground and janiot yes. where the nasser hospital is located? that's where israeli soldiers are inside right now. and they're headed toward deir al-balah, where there's fighting just to the east and even in science cerebella and throughout the gazan territory, of course it is difficult, if not impossible to find safety from airstrikes. just last week, a family of 12 people, the same family were killed in one single israeli airstrike in deir al-balah. and there are many examples throughout the country, just like that israel has said that it's not going to move into rafah until it's able to get

the civilian population now. but there's no signs of anything moving anytime soon. president biden, as you said, spoke with netanyahu recently yesterday, he said that he is hopeful. he is not anticipating any kind of large ground invasion by israel into rafah anytime soon the americans haven't seen any kind of credible plan that that's going to happen and there's also this time crunch because a week ago, prime minister netanyahu had said that he he wants the operation in rafah to be wrapped up by ramadan. that's march 10th. that's three weeks from now. and yet yesterday, something controversy or contradictory came from former prime minister and now member of the israeli war cabinet, benny gantz, who said that it could stretch even beyond that. this is what he said, quote, it's important that hamas terrorists, and its leaders know there will be no cities are refuge above or below ground in gaza, even in the approaching month of ramadan, the fire can continue either the hostages will be returned to or we will expand and the

fighting to rafah so that looming military incursion into raka is hanging over these hostage negotiations, which at the moment, kim are at a bit of a stand still. the last we know from the israelis is that they are expecting hamas to change what they have put on the table in order to move things forward. hamas would like to essentially empty israeli jails. look palestinians who are women, children are over the age of 50, something that the israelis have already rejected. and so there are conversations taking place in the background. we know that the cia chief bill burns had been in israel to speak with prime minister netanyahu and we know that there are obviously discussions happening, but in terms of four formal talks taking place in cairo or elsewhere those are not happening right now. and so it's not clear when or if there might be some kind of a deal worked out to get the hostages back and to have some kind of a ceasefire. but that is what the americans are hoping for. and that is what many israeli allies are hoping for as they call for israel not to go into rafah saying that would simply

be a humanitarian catastrophe the on top of the one that we're seeing already, kim, >> all right. appreciate the update. scott mclean in istanbul. thanks so much >> the >> japanese space agency says it successfully launched its h3 flagship rock good, a few hours ago. >> luck >> the payload of satellites that was carrying have since been released into orbit. over the next few years, japan plans to launch some 20 satellites and a lunar explorer into space using the h3 okay, its inaugural launch almost a year ago, failed. controllers issue to destruct command only minutes after liftoff. for the first time ever water her molecules have been detected on the surface of asteroids. the findings were published in the planetary science journal and the discovery could lend credence to the theory that asteroids crashing into our

mutual >> welcome back to all you watching us here in the united states and canada. i'm kim brunhuber for this is cnn newsroom. want to get back to one of our top stories we're following this hour. us republican presidential candidate donald trump has been ordered to pay nearly 300 $55 million for fraudulently inflating the value of his properties in new york. judge found that trump submitted, quote, blatantly false financial dates when he applied for loans allowing him to get more favorable rates now, the judge didn't dissolve the trump organization instead, in faces additional financial oversight and trump himself is banned from serving in certain top positions at new york businesses the next three years. now, trump is vowing to appeal, but in order to move forward, it likely have to turn over the full judgment of $355 million. and that's it's not his first multi-million-dollar legal fine. cnn's kristen holmes looks at what his

strategy might be to pay it all off in addition to the 355 million that the judge ordered donald trump to pay, he was also last month order to pay >> $83 million in the defamation case of eden jean carroll. now, obviously, these are both being appealed. how much money he'll end up owing at the end of the de still remains a question's going to be a lengthy process, but of course, it raises the question she does donald trump have this money? it's extremely huge amount of money. >> and >> how would he actually pay for this? and in the past, he has used his leadership pac, save america pac to pay a lot of his legal fees when we talk to campaign finance experts who said that that would be possible, that there are loose interpretations of how the rules work around leadership packs would be likely that he could dip into so that pac to pay some of these fines however, there's one glaring issue with that, which is just in 2023 alone, donald trump's that more than $15 million from that pack? on legal fees, leaving the amount of money in that pack at the end of the year at $5.1 million. that is far short of the more than $400

million he owns in the there's various legal fines and fees. >> one issue there. the other thing to point out here is fundraising. donald trump will continue to fund raise. we know e speaker so into a number of republicans who say they don't care where the money's flowing but they give it to donald trump, wants to use it for legal fees. he can do that. and they can donate directly to that leadership path. but there is one thing to point out which is a donald trump most of his money, most of his finances that he raises are from small dollar donors, small dollar donations is very hard to add up to more than $400 million from those small dollar donations. kristen holmes, cnn, washington us house republicans are now downplaying the importance of a former fbi informant. one and central to their impeachment inquiry into president biden, alexander smirnoff was arrested and charged on thursday with line to the fbi and fabricating foreign bribery allegations involving biden and his son, hunter. present, biden responded to the news of the

the new online revolutionaries. thank you so much for being here with us. let me start with this. do you believe putin? his responsible for navalny's death >> yes, i think so. and that may be made me extremely angry because every time i put it on a southern and gets killed, a journalist or activist, i politician. the kremlin, presents the same line of defense that's a big to was so insignificant that it didn't make any sense for putin to kill him and to be honest, we all learned after more than 20 years in power that actually it made perfect sense for putin and political assassination became part of his political toolkit. >> okay, but then explain because that leads to the obvious question. why would he bother if navalny was imprisoned? unlikely to ever get out of jail? why would he still proceed navalny as a threat >> navalny built a very successful organization in the

country. he is only russian politician who was capable of doing this so before he got to gel he or his organizations, i was capable of organizing protests in more than 100 russian towns. and that was all this seen as a beek fred buys a kremlin, despite the fact that navalny wasn't prison even we have now in prison. navalny's organization stayed extremely active. they're very active at communication. we have the russians in the country and russian diaspora and given the fact that we have the election, even if everybody understands the results of elections during the war, we all know that the kremlin is always getting extremely paranoid and there are suspicious before elections >> navalny his death. it's just the latest in a long string of putin opponents who have been killed that we have a graphic that shows a number of them who

had been shot. hang poisoned you've written that navalny's death, it raises a stark challenge for russia's opposition in a quote from you here, which must now figure out how to sustain the unity he created and sees the movement he left behind is that likely is there someone in the wings with the same career charisma and fearlessness, which one would need >> well, i think that russia just doesn't have any other choices. they need to come up with a new leader. what is good that despite the fact that navalny was killed, his people, his supporters organization, hey, build, is still there. and very much alive and active. and that would help to keep it going. and i think now, while we have so many russians who are really angry and want to do something about what is going on in the country. so if there would be a chance, it will be

chance navalny relied and enlarge part on social media that was clearly part of his success, maybe part of his legacy. does that make it easier for someone to pick up the mantle? >> yes to some extent because after the war started and 2020 year, not only russian journalists and exiled like me, became very active in social media because this is a way for us to communicate. we have far people please stay. it ends a country but also all russian political opposition actually moved to online journalism. so every russian politician and exons has now a huge tube channel on telegram channel. and they have millions of subscribers. southeast technology developed and actually used by navalny access for now used by many. >> finally, in russia itself, do you predict that navalny's death will lead to more

protests in the streets, visible signs of opposition, or will this be a chilling effect? and we'll see this basically greeted with more silence within the country >> while pushing is a very practical man. and i think it short-term strategy. is that it actually would have this chilling effect on hung the russians who in the country. and even before navalny was killed, as a cost for going to the streets to protest where extremely high sometimes ten years in prison so i do not extract any big protest right now, but it doesn't mean that this filling is not that and people are not too angry >> all right. >> really appreciate having you on andrei soldatov. thank you so much for speaking with us. and one quick programming note. be sure to watch navalny cnn's oscar winning documentary on the 2020 assassination attempt
