biden caved to putin. biden also caved by extending the nuclear arms reduction treaty without any conditions. essentially he gave exactly what he wanted, a permission slip to build up the military. even after the invasion two weeks in, joe biden was still fine with buying russian oil. it took a bipartisan member of the house and the senate to stop it. he didn't ban russian oil because of the war. it was because of the bipartisan effort in congress that we finally forced his hand. democrats in congress were willing to stand up to the president of the united states and said they were willing to join the republicans and inoverwriting the president on this very matter. a bipartisan group of congress had to drag joe biden. every member of the body should remember what president zelenskyy had to say to us. he said if there had been sanctions, meaning in january, he said there wouldn't have been a war. in january i came to the floor and said history wouldn't be kind to those who ran interference for vladimir putin. it'

when president biden called putin a war criminal., they tried to walk back when president biden called putin a war criminal., they tried to walk back when president biden called putin a war criminal. the they said it wasn't an official statement. but then they said a formal declaration by secretary of state antony blinken calling him a thug, a dictator, a butcher. wouldn't it be approach if somebody who is a buchber, a murderous dictator, a pure thug, a war criminal not be in power? >> i think fwoo thtwo things ca true. you can hope that putin is not in power but not calling for a regime change. and i think that they have taken great pains not to kind of walk into the narrative often pushed by president putin that this is just the united states pulling the strings here. is this not about oourkukraine, is the u.s. making all of this happen. they don't want to turn this into a u.s. verse russia battle. and they have been very cautious to prevent anything that would lead to any type of an he esca escalation. they have maintained their forcefulness with nato. they have obviously been sendi

president biden insisting he is not walking anything back after declaring president putin cannot stayiscuss with chief advise or to president zelenskyy. thank you for joining us. we have a lot to discuss. let me get your reaction to president biden now doubling down on his comment that putin cannot remain in power. what do you think? >> well, if you ask me personally, i like the statement of president biden which was very impressive but again, it is no use to speculate whether he is still in power or not. i mean, if russia would become a democratic country, he would probably not stay in power. since russia is far away from democratic country, unfortunately we all have to witness for some period of time him being in power. the victory in the war may change things significantly. >> see how that unfolds. ahead of talks between ukraine and russia that are scheduled for tomorrow, president zelenskyy says ukraine is ready to accept what's described as neutral status. what exactly does that mean? does that mean agreeing never to join nato? >> yes, it is possible according to my president to

there aren't any diplomatic niceties it seems between biden and putin. >> remember, biden was the chairmanpresident. he's actually had 20 plus years of dealing with putin. that story you were telling, the meeting between biden and putin at the kremlin where he says you don't have a soul, that's playing off the famous moment with george w. bush where he said i looked into putin's eyes and saw his soul and there's something trustworthy there. bush later said he regretted that, but biden years later is still playing off that. the way he tells the story is that putin looked back at him and said you said i don't have a soul, we understand each other. >> i don't think putin knocked that one down, did he. and biden was vice president when putin invaded crimea in 2014. there was criticism at the time that the obama administration didn't do enough. did biden take any lessons away from that experience? >> sure. look, if you remember part of what happened there is that there were weeks then months of countries trying to figure out what kind of sanctions are they going to pursue. what could they do. i

biden concluded with statements to putin that ukraine will never be a victory for russia that putin can no longer remain in power to listen to impudence, like all autocaters before him to believe that the truth is in force, former us president abraham lincoln expressed the opposite thought. he said, let's believe that the strength is in the truth, the strength is in the truth let's believe. in this today. the west imposed sanctions to inflict on the russian economy we aimed at the very heart of the russian economy, by stopping the import of russian energy products to the united states, we imposed sanctions against more than four hundred russian officials. and now they must share this pain. the private sector also operates more than 400 private multinational companies stopped doing business in russia as a result of these unprecedented sanctions, the ruble almost immediately turned into a stone, like the entire russian economy - it's true, by the way, now 200 rubles. - this is approximately 1 dollar their economy in the coming years should be halved in a few days. before that, you were th

putin to barack obama. he is decisive and strong. bidenout putin and any of this. some democrats saying republicans are soft on russia or what happened in the first impeachment of donald trump that was about aid to ukraine. and that is to try to make sure that putin doesn't succeed in dividing the american public, which is also in biden's assessment a goal of his. >> yeah, to sow distrust, that's why the u.s. officials arussia interfered in the u.s. election. >> yes. >> isaac, thank you so much. >> we have to tell you about another senseless gun violence death in america. and unfortunately that one hits close to home for our cnn family. former cnn news assistant sierra jenkins among five people shot early this morning in norfolk, virginia, she and another person died as a result of injuries. she was 25 years old, a budding journalist, a rising star after starting out at cnn in 2020 she rose to the position of news assistant with the cnn help team in the fall of that year right in the middle of the pandemic. she was currently working with a

we are breaking down president biden's trip and intensifying to putin. he is now calling put an butcher after hearing horror stories from refugees. >>> also breaking, the missiles falling on the weren't ukrainian city of lviv while president biden was enabling poland. we'll have a live report on what's happening there this hour. our correspondents are on the front line in ukraine and oak here in poland, where cnn's russian war against ukraine. i am wolf blitzer in warsaw. this is a special edition of the situ "situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we are live here in warsaw as president biden heads home from poland. he's now flying back to washington after his powerful declaration that vladimir putin cannot remain in power. we are getting new reaction to what the president said about putin, the war in ukraine and broader threats to nato, indeed, to the world. let's go to our senior correspondent phil mattingly here in warsaw. phil, a very, very strong message from president biden about putin that apparently was senate planned. tell us the late

the response to vladimir putin when biden met with him what don't do that again. a serious response that putin would respect. you can see is ratcheting up the pressure. his objectives have not changed. he will continue this assault until he meets the united states that is prepared to help the ukrainians defend themselves in a serious way. maria: let me move on to your trip to taiwan and singapore. so many people are watching the ccp and its next move given the past comments about taking back or reuniting with taiwan. what did you hear on the ground? >> i've talked about the fact that ukraine is an absolute tragedy. we've been behind. what i'm really worried about his cascading series of crises overnight. there were missiles fired near him u.s. consulate in iraq. i was worried about the same thing. a series of cascading crises that affect them in their lives. i made the statement when i was in taiwan we ought to do the simple thing. everybody knows they have never been part of communist china. they don't want to be. we ought to be doing this things that we failed to

it's a cover because biden is afraid of putin's escalation. >> sean: that's like biden blaming putin inflation that happened in the last five months. that's like winning putin for high gas prices, it's one big lie. strategically, where would you take this? what should we be doing, what are we doing, are we doing anything right at this point and when you add china and iran to the equation, where does it take you? >> sean, i think as you point out it's looking bad on the world and i think if the congress men pointed out, the congress is leading the way. i think the jets -- i mean, we missed opportunity, it seemed like they had it kind of figured out and now it is sort of blown to high heaven to fanatically but they seem to make sense. the key here is to help the ukrainians defeat the russian invasion but at the same time avoid world war iii. i think that's a reasonable goal and let's be honest, the russians have a newer more modern, more capable nuclear arsenal than we do so we need to take that seriously and the key here, you mention some of president trump's successes, president reag

ukraine led by president zelenskyy is winning and will be victorious over putin. biden must send military aid now. the risk provided by incompetent russian generals to claim eastern ukraine is a trick. just as america would not surrender by giving up a small part of the eastern united states such as delaware, we know putin must be feeted by peace through strength. victory is the only option to stop autocracy by rule of gun against against democracy by rule of law a clash of civilizations. the chinese communist party will be stopped from mass murder in taiwan. the world's largest democracy of india can thrive in a stabilized world. i have faith in the russian people a great culture with great cultural influence adopted in america. there is legislation affecting russian troops, diplomats, and duma members to be provided refugee status to america and up to $100,000 for any russian military equipment turned over to ukraine. god bless ukraine, god save ukraine, long live president zelenskyy. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from iowa seek recogn

putin has so far refused to negotiate directly with the ukrainian? president zelensky? well, i think biden could, of course, i mean he has done so before and i'm i i think also putin what would speak to him, but i think to no avail because basically and here i agree with roman that indeed putin wants to bring this war to the end. i think it is his mission. it is what he deems in his historical position in on the same podesto like with peter the great and joseph stalin as the big conqueror and um that he wants to bring it to an end. and i think it's very difficult to stop him. and that is also why he doesn't want to talk to zelensky despite all the problems the russian army is having and they could definitely need a breathing some breathing space now. but putin is not willing to give it because simply he wants to have his personal popularity his position in history in russia is dependent on a successful end of this war. from this point of view soraya, let's come back to the question of biden's mission both ensuring up western unity and also pushing back harder against putin the us recently

putin. we're told president biden will directly call out putin this evening in his speech that was reworked to respond to the fast moving and tragic developments in ukraine. biden, we're told, will slam the russian president for launching a, quote, premeditated unprovoked war and rejecting efforts of diplomacy, and we learned he will announce a ban on russian aircraft from entering u.s. air space. this is the newest move to punish russia for its aggression in ukraine, punishing putin for this war clearly a top priority for president biden at a time when he and the american people are facing extraordinary challenges and frustrations here at home, which of course, biden will also discuss tonight. we'll have more on that ahead, but right now, let's go back to anderson cooper in ukraine. anderson. >> jake, i want to get an update on the situation in ukraine's capital, kyiv, at this hour. clarissa ward is there. clarissa, brutal bombing today. 40-mile convoy of russian troops outside the city. what is the latest? >> well, anderson, it's been quiet here for the last couple of hours, but it certain

now, he's asking putin for dirt on president biden's son, hunter. >> one thing while i'm on your show, as long as putin now is not exactly a fan of our country, let him explain, where did -- because chris wallace wouldn't let me ask the question. why did the mayor of moscow's wife give the bidens, both of them, $3.5 million? that's a lot of money. she gave them $3.5 million. so now, i would think putin would know the answer to that. i think he should release it. we should know that answer. now, you won't get the answer from ukraine, but why are they giving somebody who knows nothing about energy $187,000 a month plus a $3 million up front payment? i won't even talk about china because they haven't gone into taiwan yet. >> right. >> that'll be next. but why did the mayor of moscow's wife give the biden family $3.5 million? nobody wants to ask the question. chris wallace, who is a total lightweight, unlike his father who interviewed me for "60 minutes" who was a good piece. mike wallace is great. he wants to be mike wallace, but he doesn't have the talent. why is it the mayor of moscow'

biden has delivered a fiery speech on the war in ukraine denouncing russian president vladimir putin biden said the west was more united than ever in the face of prudence aggression. but warned the world to prepare for a long battle, just over a month, into russia's invasion. he's dra, the united states continued support for ukraine. after calling fulton a dictator, a war criminal and a butcher, and recent days by me used to speech in warsaw to take direct aim at putin in a different way. let's listen to his closing remarks. prudent has the gall to say he did not to fire in ukraine. it's a lie, is just cynical, he knows that and it's also obscene presence. zalinski was democratic, you're elected. 6 he's jewish, his father's family was white, proud of nazi holocaust. and po has the audacity like o r autocrat before him. to believe that white will make right. ukraine will never be a victory for russia. for free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness. of darkness we will have a different future, a brighter future rooted democracy in principle, open light of decency, dignity, freedo

you are in direct contact with us from germany well, it's obvious that vladimir putin made biden very that russia from now on requires uh, rubles for its russian gas. and biden let it out again, and again accidentally wanting to justify himself for insulting putin, biden. suddenly he said that he hoped for a revolution in russia and for the russian people. lord , if your statement that putin can't stay in power doesn't mean regime change, then what you think it means is that i was expressing my outrage. he shouldn't stay with authorities, just like bad people, should not continue to do bad things, but this does not mean that we have a fundamental policy to somehow overthrow putin. i was talking to the russian people at that moment, the last part of the speech was devoted to communication with russian people telling them what we think about it. yes, it is very interesting big. thank you, joseph, but in general, we ourselves, we think of ourselves, and how we solve our problems. i hope, yes, actually, yes, we need to communicate with the american people. although now i think a lot of pe

biden calling for the u.s. to take new steps to punish putin. >> president biden: revoking pntr for russia will make it harder for russia to do business with the united states. and doing it in unison with other nations, that make up half of the global economy will be another crushing blow to the russian he con that that's already suffering badly from our sanctions. putin is an aggressor, the aggressor. putin must pay the price. >> retired general jack keane is standing by with analysis and fox team coverage this hour. mike tobin is live in western ukraine and alex hogan across the border in poland. but first we'll start it off with trey yingst joining us live in the capital. trey. >> good morning. russian forces are now within 10 miles of kyiv. according to these new satellite images the long convoy to the northwest of the city that includes tanks and artillery units has now dispersed and redeployed. the troops have taken up new positions in nearby towns and tree lines. the units are moving into firing position with the capital city in their sights russian forces are destroying lives and homes in their path and w

john than * president biden said vladimir putin can't remain in power. walked back that remark. we now go live to chief political correspondent for daily mail tv. david. what was your view of those remarks by president biden? mistake or not? >> i think we are all asking the same thing about chris rock versus will smith and the oscars. this is one of those things where you don't know whether it was meant or an accident. my view personally is of course he meant to say it. now of course everybody is talking about it and there is a reasonable chance people in russia will hear about this and start thinking about it. to be fair, it's joe, joe biden. so you don't know if this was a gaffe or not. but this is the third day in a row leaders in europe think as escalating tensions. he said if russia were to use chemical weapons the u.s. would respond with chemical weapons. he said you won't believe on you courageous and brave and gutsy the ukrainian people are, and you will see it when you go there and some of you have been there. of course next day putin has got to

3in1. >>> before today's flamethrower of a speech in warsaw during which president biden forcefully declared vladimir putina's leader, biden pet with ukrainians who fled their homes out of fear. it was a stirring moment as he was speaking with those ukrainian refugees 250 miles away across the border. in broad daylight russian missiles hit lviv on nato's doorstep. cnn military analyst colonel leighton. people were wondering where putin or the russians were trying to send a message to the americans, that they can strike where they want to at any given moment. what was your thought when you saw that? >> i definitely thought, jim, this was a case where the russians decided we were going to send a message not only to president biden but to the poles and all of nato that we can strike without impunity. that if you attempt to supply the ukrainians, we'll try to cut off those supplies to the ukrainian forces. with the way they did this, clearly indicates that they have a precision strike capability and they will use it on occasion. >> yeah, and hitting a fuel storage facility, obviously, that creates a huge spect

i tonight thousands gathered to hear an impassioned speech in which biden warned putin... impassioned speech in which biden warned putin...— warned putin... do not think about movin: warned putin... do not think about moving on — warned putin... do not think about moving on one _ warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch _ warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch of— warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch of nato - moving on one inch of nato territory. we have a sacred obligation under article five to defend each and every inch of nato territory. with the full force of our collective power.— territory. with the full force of our collective power. he said talks with russia _ our collective power. he said talks with russia before _ our collective power. he said talks with russia before the _ our collective power. he said talks with russia before the invasion . with russia before the invasion failed because putin was spent on innovation from the start.- innovation from the start. rather than breaking — innovation from the start. rather t

days in europe, rallying nato, visiting troops and refugees, all while taking aim at vladimir putin. >> bidenr god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> the white house said president biden was not announcing a new effort to remove putin, but the president was clear about one thing. >> don't even think about moving on one single inch of nato territory. >> we'll get the latest reporting from the region, and we'll have more from michael morell and our david martin. and we'll get insight from the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch, and we'll talk with will hurd, a former c.i.a. officer who served in congress for six years. and then, new text messages reveal how the wife of a supreme court justice aggressively lobbied the trump white house to overturn the 2020 election. we'll talk to robert costa and the "washington post's" bob woodward, and we'll hear from adam kinzinger, a member of the committee investigating the january 6 assault on the capitol. it is all just ahead on "face the nation." >> dickerson: good morning. and welcome to "face the nation." president biden touc

mind when he looks at vladimir putin. >> how is president biden's personal nato and european allies this week? last time, biden and putin met was last june in geneva. i was there covering that summit and it was relatively successful at least at the time that's what u.s. and russian officials suggested. >> yeah, and of course the last time they spoke on the phone was about a week before the invasion of ukraine began. and what we are seeing with this trip to brussels this week is very much part of the dynamic that biden wants to have with putin, and deny the dynamic they think putin wants which is a one-on-one washington versus moscow situation here. biden has very purposely left this to a lot of allies to be the ones talking with putin recently. has made it so that it doesn't look like america is telling the world what to do when it comes to sanctions even though a lot of the sanctions that have come out are because of guidance and pressure from american officials. they want this to be the world turning on putin. a global alliance saying this is not the way t

biden hesitated. he waited to send stingers to the ukrainians out of fears that it might provoke putin. president biden declined to send support and training to ukraine in december because he feared it might provoke putin. >> president biden has been trying to conduct diplomacy with the phone and the zoom portal. that will change next week. he will travel to nato hq for an in-person show of force. martha? >> peter, thank you very much. peter doocy at the white house. joining me right now, david petraeus. he led u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan, the former director of the cia and a partner at kkr and chairman of kkr global institute. good to have you with us this afternoon. obviously a very emotional plea from president zelensky. i imagine that we will hear similar things from him tomorrow. imagining -- asking americans to imagine that our cities are surrounded, that our flags are being taken down. what are your thoughts on what he had to say, sir? >> well, it's very compelling. he continues to be an extraordinary leader. talking about rising to the occasion and to the moment. a former

what you do see on the front page, however, is this, quote, biden's plan to overthrow putin. ated tons of headlines in the west and in russia for his comment about president putin saying quote, for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. the russian press called it everything from a gaffe to an admission of the united states secret long term quote, main goal. unlike the interview with president zelenskyy, the story was everywhere in the russian press. and i mean literally everywhere. it was entirely unavoidable. and that makes sense! because of the bold statement by the leader of the united states. you would think that an interview with the leader of the country that russia is currently at war with might get a little bit of attention to! but no, there's a lot of debate about president biden's statement about putin in the west, whether it was an accident or a piece of strategy, and getting to the number of that is important. but i want to know is how did that line, biden's line about how putin has to go. how did it go over and russia? given how much the russian people are

joe biden has accused russian president vladimir putin of being a butcher in his treatment of ukrainiansland where he met ukrainian refugees. the white house said mr biden had not meant he was supporting regime change in russia. the western ukrainian city of lviv has come under heavy rocket fire. the regional governor said five missile strikes hit a fuel depot and an industrial plant. lviv's mayor said no—one was killed but five people were injured. and there have been tributes for taylor hawkins, the drummer with the rock band the foo fighters, who's died at the age of 50. officials in colombia say he used opiods, marijuana and anti—depressants before he died. his body was found in a hotel room in

what she was saying issue putin understands biden.r pol tigszs are easy to read, they are more concerned with politics than the actual people affected by what they are doing. he saw biden do this in afghanistan, tried to tell us it was a success, instead of own it. and saw biden do this in ukraine. sanctions, sanctions, sanctions and when putin invaded, he said, i never said sanctions would work. how could putin not be laughing at him. >> carley: i wonder what you think about the conversation surrounding putin's mental health. high-profile people like condoleeza rice say they think something is different about him. he has always been menia cal kgb thug and found window of opportunity to act out now. >> jimmy: who are we to accuse another country's president to be out to lunch. like bob marley saying somebody smokes too much weed. >> carley: no president should be compared to putin, you are not saying that, are you? >> jimmy: no, i'm saying we're calling putin mentally unstable when we are being mocked around the world for having a pre

for what he was and what he is doing, is not rational. >> would you meet with president putin again? pres. biden: is there something to meet on that would justify him being able to end this war and rebuild ukraine? that is the issue. >> mr. president would you willing to meet with president putin? pres. biden: what would he want to talk about? >> what if he wanted to talk about negotiations? pres. biden: you said supreme court. >> you can't leave that hanging. real quick, two matters on the supreme court, while you are -- you were away there were , reports about the wife of justice thomas and texts she had with former chief of staff mark meadows, should they recuse -- should justice thomas recuse himself of any case involving the insurrection of president january 6 trump. one, the january 6 committee and to the justice department that is their judgment not mine. >> justice thomas recusing, you don't think you should? pres. biden: those things get into legal issues. i told you i will not tell the justice apartment what position -- department what position to take or not take. i am not going to in

let's go back to biden's speech when he called vladimir putin the butcher. president biden had already called putin an autocrat, a tyrant, a war criminal. now he is calling him a butcher. how unusual is it again to call out a head of state in such a way but also the impact of these words? is this just name calling or will it lead to justice? >> reporter: well, will it lead to justice? this is what the coalition and the reaffirmation of this multi lateral order are absolutely remaining committed to and the fact that this incursion will not go beyond the ukraine into nato territory, not by a single inch as president biden underscored, is absolutely crucial. the difference between the name calling and the actual sort of invocation that there is a possibility of leadership change are two very different things. they were unfortunate statements. they've been downplayed by the state department. and by the white house. but, unfortunately, they have left a shadow over this particular trip and they are words which president putin of course pays very close attention to

the address of vladimir putin biden said that by doing so he only conveyed his mental anguish and indignation, according to the pentagon, this does not complicate the current state of affairs, meanwhile, the words of biden, and vladimir putin, the press secretary of the president of russia, called it very disturbing and regarded it as a personal insult in an interview with the american television company pbs. dmitry peskov said that such statements by the us leader are completely unacceptable. and that it is not for him to decide who will be and who is the president of the russian federation, this is a matter of the choice of the russian people, said dmitry peskov every day there are reports of the brave actions of our military during a special operations in ukraine, lieutenant vyacheslav vodyanoy, thanks to decisive and professional actions , saved his platoon, which was surrounded. in addition, he personally destroyed two units of military equipment and up to ten nationalists. coming out of the encirclement of vyacheslav vodny’s unit, major vitaly the hoarse, the reconnaissance group was ab

and tonight, president biden standing by what he said about vladimir putin after saying this in poland -- >> for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> reporter: today, biden insisted he was not announcing any policy change, but simply expressing moral outrage. >> i'm not walking anything back. the fact of the matter is i was expressing the moral outrage i felt. i want to make it clear, i wasn't then nor am i now articulating a policy change. i was expressing the moral outrage that i feel, and i make no apologies for it. >> reporter: right now, putin is under pressure as his army stumbles on the battlefield. the pentagon confirming that russian forces are now prioritizing securing their gains in eastern ukraine, after the russian ministry of defense said that area was the main goal of the russian invasion all along. still, russian forces continue to pound mariupol in the south. a city of half a million people before the war. officials say about 5,000 have been killed here. the places in ruins. the mayor accusing the russians of genocide. 160,000 residents remain trapped there,

putin has to go, and mr. bideny right calling for the end of his leadership of the largest country on earth. >> so you think -- so are you happy that the president said that at the very end of his speech, that he said he cannot remain in power? >> that is very least he can say about the man who is killing and butchering thousands of people around ukraine right now. has been killing hundreds of thousands in syria for the last decade, not to mention the disasters imposing around the world to make a point he can do it. the point is that man is an abomination for anyone who wishes peace and security in the world around us. so of course, he is somebody who needs to be thrown out of office at the very least, and again, i hope national law gets to him eventually and punishes him for his crimes as those who perpetrate against national peace were punished in the second world war. >> i am so sorry for the loss of your partner. the love of your life. and we appreciate you joining us today to talk about that. >>> all right, ri

and one day after president biden labelled president putin a war criminal for the first time, we're seeing other officials here at the white house follow his lead as their warning about china alining itself to closely to the kremlin. as president biden is set to speak with xi jinping for the first time tomorrow in four months. president biden unrestrained in his assessment of russian president putin. >> a pure thug who is waging a war against the people of ukraine. >> with the kremlin's bloody invasion entering the fourth week, u.s. officials are no longer hesitating in branding putin a war criminal. >> yesterday president biden said that in his opinion war crimes have been committed in ukraine. >> personally i agree. >> russia calling that unforgivable rhetoric and pushed back as survivors were being pulled from the rubble after russia bombed a theater where hundreds of civilians have been sheltering in the basement. satellite images about the bombing show the word children spelled out on two sides of the theater. >> if that is not considered a war crime by human beings, what is? >> the u

the news media and the pundits pulling their hair out about what biden said. putinould care less what biden says he wants this president to start our energy, economy from afghanistan with his tales between his legs. he has no respect for this president. that is all i have to say. it's a lot. host: let's go to tim in ohio. democrats mine. caller: good morning. i when i to say that 70% democrats, 30% republicans. any politician, i do not care if it is a politician or not, anybody that only badmouth somebody else and only does what they are going to do, that is not a good person. i think we need to get it done where they go on their on their campaign, do not tell me what the other guy is going to do. tell me what you're going to do. politicians do not attack other politicians, they only talk about themselves. just vote for the person who is the best person. as i said, i am a democrat but casey is a great guy. he would be a great leader. he is a republican. both sides have a good and bad people. we got to stop attacking the people. if that is what destroyed the country.

should talk to russia, does this at all suggest to you that putin could be interested in talks with president biden? >> i would hope so. and here we have to maintain the ability to have a conversation with russia. and we're going to have to maintain the ability to talk to president putin. and the reason is because he has a large nuclear arsenal. if he did not, we might be in a different place. but we live in a real world where he has control of a world-ending number of nuclear weapons. therefore we have to keep open conversations. if china can help facilitate those conversations, i'm in favor of that. if president biden is willing to talk to president putin and address these concerns, i would certainly support that, but it has to be done, alex, with a clear-eyed understanding of who started this war, this war of choice, and that the fundamentals here, democracy, freedom, the nato alliance itself, we're not going to bend those because vladimir putin needs us to. >> how effective do you think that call was between presidents biden and xi? what did president biden want to get out of that call, and did

no longer capable to be exact according to the democratic washington post, biden's very warsaw statement about putinhifted the focus of the unity keynote speech. west so the allies were not so much united. how puzzled this phrase was surprised biden's assistants, who understood that it was not in the speech prepared in advance. biden's harsh statement about putin also took european politicians by surprise. some of them rushed to clarify whether the white house was going to pursue a policy, aimed at overthrowing the russian leader, the logical question is afghanistan iraq libya ukraine , after all, the states are used to interfering. inside the political affairs of other countries, as deep as they can go. to show that this time it 's not worth waiting for anything like biden's words first, the aides explained. like, it was about the fact that it is impossible to solve the ukrainian crisis by force, and then secretary of state blinkin practically refuted the words of his president, as we have repeatedly said. we have no plans for a regime change in russia, meanwhile, it is possible that biden did not

and she told biden about putin through a translator. e said we ukrainian mothers are ready to strangle him with our bare hands. president biden also had a very touching moment with another young girl and her family. take a listen to a bit of what they talked about. >> i don't speak ukrainian but tell her i want to take her home. you are all brave, brave, brave. >> and shortly after that president biden was asked what he thought about putin after seeing those refugees and what they are enduring. the president was brunt saying that putin is a butcher. he was very clearly moved by his experience speaking with those refugees. and all that they've gone through since this battle in ukraine began, don. >> yeah, more harsh lanl from president biden about the russian leader, vladimir putin. thank you, arlette saenz in the white house tonight. we appreciate that. ukraine's president is issuing a new plea asking for just one percent of nature mo's arsenal especially tanks and planes. he says his country's democracy may not survive without them. her

putin. joe biden saying that putin is completely to blame.before this war, before the invasion broke out, putin was lying at every step. so a defiant message, a message of support to the ukrainians, a message of support to poland and its nato allies, and a clear message that vladimir has to end this aggression. fiur end this aggression. our correspondence - end this aggression. our correspondence there. l in one of its largest military exercises in recent years, nato has been simulating its response to an attack on a member state. it's been taking place in norway, which shares a border with russia and was planned before the invasion of ukraine. but as our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports ? the war has given the training a sharper focus. gunfire another neighbour of russia has been invaded. this is northern norway, but it is just an exercise — a test for nato allies to come to its defence. something nato says it will do to protect a member state, though not for ukraine. but what's happened in ukraine has suddenly made this training

putin back. but one of the big pieces of legislative that president biden gave putin early off in his administration was on energy. and this is where president biden can do something. today he's probably going to announce he's reversing course. where a few weeks ago he was begging putin to produce more oil. today hopefully he'll call for a ban on russian oil. the challenge is that president biden still won't say yes to american energy. because to replace that russian oil is the real critical step. first off president biden, stop begging dictators to produce the energy that we need here in america. don't go to russia. don't go to iran. don't go to venezuela. when the answer is right beneath our feet. it's time for president biden to say yes to american energy. too often he's turned his back on the energy that we make cleaner, as my colleagues point out, than anyone else in the world. oil's still going to be needed to run not only our economy, but the economies all around the world. so the question is where do we get it? if they are worried about carbon emissions, we mitt less carbon to make energy pr

you are saying biden should be sitting down with putin, that biden represents the unit states, the wod'sgest superpower, and could lead to a cease-fire. what isn't he doing? >> that. look, i wish as european and internationalist, i wish the opinion existed in substance so that the president of the european union would be sitting down with putin, but we don't have that. so biden is still the representative of nato of the west at the moment. i'm not going to pass judgment on the gentleman. he is, however, the only one who can say down with putin. they can talk on the phone before they sit down. therefore ministers would have toome to the exchanges. at the idea must be simple -- putin must be given a golden bridge from which escape his conundrum. he must be given something he can sell to his people as mission accomplished. the only thing is democrats and internationals, we should be able to tolerate, is -- this is a tiny, tiny nonexistent price to pay for ending the war, having russian troops evacuate ukraine, some kind of arrangement to be established for the donbas area. we could kick int

biden: putin is getting the opposite of what he intended to have as a consequence. of going into ukraine. . . we have to stay thoroughly united. yamiche: president biden travels to europe for emergency meetings with western allies. >> the alliance can save the ukrainian alliance from russia's occupation, if we can get all of the weapons we need. yamiche: president zelinski pleads for more military aid to beat back russia. nato leaders stop short of giving him the weapons he wants. plus -- >> i am here, standing on the shoulders of generations of americans who never had anything close to this kind of opportunity. yamiche: judge kentanji brown jackson's confirmation hearing makes history. >> i want to understand here, is that your view that society is too hard on sex offenders? yamiche: she faces contentious questioning from some republicans. >> don't worry, my sister. don't worry, god has gotten her. how do i know that? because you> are here. and i know what it has taken for you to sit in that seat. yamiche: and praise from democrats next. ♪ >> this is "washington wee
