here at the big table is our correspondent, aaron tilton. aaron has extensively in russia. he used to work at arm moscow bureau before it was closed by the russian government. now a report from outside the country and let's talk about what we heard today from the russian brother. what did you make of what he didn't say in particular? well, it definitely was interesting that a lot of chatter coming out of intelligence circles and from analysts basically indicated that the library would most likely be declaring something like a load war. and ukraine calling for mobilizations and call ups of reserve troops and promising to put more hardware into the conflict. now that didn't actually happen that we have to remind our viewers. the current conflict is only a special military operation in the language of the kremlin. so they don't actually have the right to fully engage in a complete all out war. and because of the black eyes of ukrainian military is managed to give, let me put an end, the russian military. a lot of people are just kind of expecting him to go full out and declare

near our borders that you then you put a lot of and here with me on the set is the w reporter, aaron tilton. he has worked extensively as a correspondent at our moscow a barrow when it was still open. so good to have you here on the set with me. aaron, i want to start off by asking you a lot of analysts have expressed surprise at what mr. newton did. not mention during his victory a parade at speech. were you surprised? yes to certain i was. i mean, all the chatter we've been hearing out of intelligent circles and my analyst is that they were expecting a greater commitment of military assets from vladimir putin today. basically, the current operation in ukraine is still considered the part of the russian government to be a special military operation. that means they can't bear the full force of their military and directed on ukraine. and a lot of people were kind of expecting to see kind of a call for general mobilization, more drafting, conscription of new soldiers, and a full declaration of war in the part of the russian federation. we didn't get that and that did seem to surprise a lot o

oh, joining me in the studio is aaron tilton and in divorce we have emily, sherwin who's covering this and has been listening to that speech along side as so we go the 1st you, emily, your impressions of blog news lansky is addressed to the world economic form well, he basically said that the world now is at a turning point when it has been faced with these russian war crimes. and essentially he said that the instant, the international institutions that exist at the moment really aren't kind of good enough for that. they have to work on not only responding to challenges, but actually to preventing them and he kind of actually leveled quite a few accusations. i think at the international community assembled here in diverse saying that essentially.

the annual event to mark the end of world war 2 and russia's victory in that conflict. aaron tilton is back in the studio with may. eric is a lot to take in. there are what were your main takeaways for more put not to say to the wife on it. really interesting. holly again attempted to a little d, legitimize the ukrainian people and ukrainian government by connecting them illegitimately to some type of nazi past. saying again that this is a direct in to the, this is the soviet union's historic, the struggle against naziism and nazi germany. i mean, as we're seeing earlier that there is, it's a complete baseless claim. but it's a way to demonize and other, these people that they are struggling against, you know, that were previously in one of the, the brother people's in the soviet republic. at the same time, it was interesting to see the framing, basically saying that russia is under attack, it's besieged on all sides. it's. that's not true, of course, but that is what he's claiming against to his own people, saying that this is about the future of russian. russia's security again, tryi

pick this highly anticipated speech with the w report. aren't tilton, who so what's the corresponding to out about most of your welcome aaron. this means to go as far as many expected buddy you mr. put in also didn't sound like a man looking for an exit strategy or you're definitely right. i think a lot of western governments, especially their intelligence services, expected that would declare some type of mass mobilization mass drops. conscription and maybe than that we could see an official to collect declaration of war against ukraine. he stopped short of that because right now from the rush perspective, this is an award, this is a military, a special military operation. now instead, what we saw was a man who, i do think to a certain extent on the back foot. he basically was swearing his people to get in the line and basically saying, look, this is going to be a long conflict. there isn't going to be an easy short answer to this. i mean, i think the russian people really did kind of expected a quick victory over ukrainian forces and their military has not been able to deliver, not that far. so it seems like we saw a vlad
