. >>> joining us now is kim dozier and general mark kimmet. something just came down to us from the head of the office of ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy. zelenskyy called the absence of a timeline for joining nato unprecedented and absurd. this after biden said he agreed to propose language for ukraine's future ability to join nato. can i ask you what you think about zelenskyy's tactics as he's been blunt and forceful. has that served him well? >> well, all along he's done this reach for the stars and you won't end up with a handful of mud kind of strategy. it seems to have worked time and again. remember when he was pushing for f-16s, a year later, now it looks like he's getting them from multiple countries. once again, he's come into this summit only messaging back home but also messaging all of the populations that biden, britain, european nations answer to, preparing them and asking them push your leaders, we need this now. we're under fire. and while he doesn't look like he's going to get that, look, we've already got the concessio

joining us is kim dozier who is the managing editor for the israeli times.in the west bank and in particular in jenin, and you rarely see this happening in the west bank. >> right. while we have seen it happen with gaza, we have not seen it happening in the west bank for about 20 years since the last palestinian uprising, and the way they usually plan these attack is to map out the criminal networks, and almost perfect penetration of the israeli, palestinian communication, and they map the nodes, and then they encircle a town, and they have a checklist, and they go through it, and they will hit block after block until they find the people from the list. 20 years ago when i was on the ground during the incursions in je jenin, ramallah, and other ways to get around, they blast their way from one end of the building and then blast the walls to get to a specific person, and they can't know who is on the other side, but they consider it a legitimate risk, because they have lost two dozen people in the last couple of months through israeli attacks. >> and they say

and kim dozier, a cnn globalpoe. let's putin is this summit. he's clearly worried about the optics. if the same amount of nations who attended in 2019 were to attend, then opposite. how much of an impact is this making on husband level of confidence about having or not having power of support behind him. >> i think putin and russia more broadly are becoming more desperate. this is a desperate move. they are trying to project power, but really what they are projecting is a great deal of weakness. so you alluded to the numbers alone in terms of who showed up in st. petersburg and the african nation. 17 is the total number that alex was mentioning earlier. and that's less than half of last year. so everybody is distancing themselves from russia. this is a big thing for putin because international prestige and international recognition, those are critical things. and reading the statement that came out of the kremlin was something out of a fantasy world. he was talking about the importance of national sovereignty. which is the opposite of how they reacted towards ukraine. this is a desp

kim dozer dozier is back with u. you've been watching the alongside us.ood out to you from jake sullivan? >> that this was a decision they came to with great reluctance. but as sullivan said, it's a bridging measure, that they simply can't produce enough artillery to keep ukraine going without pulling some of these stocks out of storage and sending them to the battlefield. he did say they weren't trying to say that this is relative, that just because russia is using it, ukraine should have the right to use it. but he made the argument that ukraine is already littered with tens of thousands of cluster bomb drops -- or bomblets as they're called, from russia's use and, therefore, the country will have to be de-mined anyway. so ukraine needs them, too. >> kim dozier, we appreciate your analysis. quickly, before we go, i wanted to acknowledge that sullivan confirmed there have been discussions between the white house and the kremlin over a prisoner swap, a potential prisoner swap for "wall street journal"'sgershkovich, the 100th day of his incarceration. >>>
