ambassador to nato, ivo dadler. thank you so much for being with us this morning.our time. let's start with that call by finland's president who told putin that the invasion of ukraine altered the security environment of finland. he says the call was direct and straight forward and conducted without aggravations. how do you think vladimir putin took that message? >> i don't think he took it well because, of course, one of the reasons that vladimir putin has said he needed to invade ukraine was because nato was coming too close to russia's border. that was always an excuse for what he really wanted to do, which was to control ukraine's political destiny. but if this was the real reason, he miscalculated spectacularly. clearly finland becoming a member of nato would double the amount of nato border with russia. just in one fell swoop. and it would make finland part of the western block after years of being more independent. in the case of sweden, 200 years of neutrality and nonalignment would end because of the russian invasion of ukraine. there, as well as in other

let's bring in former ambassador to nato during the obama administration, ivo dalder. the context of this muted display is u.s. and western officials had been warning that today, putin would have a statement of major escalation, a declaration, something big. but today, largely came and went with no change in public posture from russia and a rather muted display compared to previous years. what do you think happened? >> you know, i think putin may well have blinked here. clearly, in the few weeks, in the run-up to this victory day parade, the west has consistently increased its capabilities, its support of ukraine. the rhetoric has become robust, the sanctions have become deeper and more severe. and there was this expectation that putin would escalate, and instead, i think he justified basically the war in the donbas, saying that there was a pre-emptive strike coming from ukraine on the donbas and on crimea and he had to act. really, announcing pretty limited war aims, nothing like the full-scale mobilization let alone the declaration of war that people were expecting,

ambassador to nato, ivo daalder. i'm curious of your thoughts on how russia is responding to this move. what did vladimir putin expect? >> well, you know, having the russians say this was a mistake, it is right. it was their mistake that caused this had they not invaded ukraine. finland and sweden would remain outside of nato, sweden, which has been neutral for 200 years, finland that has been independent and not willing to join military alliances for a hundred years are now joining nato and there is only one reason. this catastrophic mistake that vladimir putin made to invade a neighboring country that posed no threat and completely unprovoked and in an illegal manner. that is why these countries are now joining nato. because they feel insecure and they believe that only nato could provide the security that they need with a russian leader that is willing to use force at any moment in any way. >> so, i'm curious about turkey's list of demands that it would like to see these two countries meet. it appears they -- mayb
