do you watch in pre op my, be a lot about this morning if there's just a natural ah, with buddy may, putin emphasizes that the west left to russia no choice but to intervene unprotected, so national interests out in the box goes, opponents are still pending to come to the negotiating table. with john as top diplomat says that russia, china relations are unshakable. after the recent visit of russia's deputy security had to meet the chinese leader shooting thing. i'm 70 years after the mama rebellion kenyans are holding on the british government to compensate locals. the crimes that they committed by the military or parents greatly suffered.

carried out on the eve of the event, which will affect the plans of the country, what sabotages may putin be afraid of and what in the end they hope that the kremlin will join the broadcast and political scientist andrii piankovskyi good evening andrey andreevich good evening please, i don't understand personally and what is putin afraid of when he canceled the press conference right there? er, place them in some kind of bunker and everything will be conducted and shown to the people. and what are the organizers of the press conference so afraid of now? it was the first time in 30 years that you saw this man drunk, we remember, of course, all of ukraine, i watched it all, well, where is he with a glass of champagne, a bitch, in his pockets, uh, i’m walking around, he talked about how he notices, we destroy the infrastructure of ukraine, this is already an indicator of the monstrous stress, the portrait of which there is a selection of materials for this, there was a lot of talk about those who did not hit the front, but there was simply a complete lack of positive positive messages, eh, a

may putin die with them, she says. and in ukrainian-controlled odesa, a disturbing video now circulating online. police say they stopped a car at the state emergency services headquarters, finding explosives in the trunk. a man then detonating a grenade, sources say, as they tried to detain him. five police officers and two civilians were hurt. the man's motive not yet revealed. as the war rages, the kremlin today claiming vladimir putin was open to peace talks less than 24 hours after president biden said he was, too, if putin was serious about ending the war and pulling out his troops. but the kremlin today quickly rejecting those conditions. david, tonight, another major headline. u.s. officials confirm to abc news that the u.s. is considering expanding training to large numbers of ukrainian troops in battlefield tactics. this training would happen in germany, and as you know, to this point, u.s. training has been limited to small groups of ukrainians working with advanced u.s. weapons systems. david? >> marcus moor

beijing, where he met with gigi ping. dmitri med via devils had brought a special message from da da, may putin. but what was that message? get some details. now, with ortiz marina casa ref, they discussed the number of international issues and they agreed once again, they reiterated the fact that their approach is very, very similar on a number of these international issues. also, using things said that china is ready to move closer to ross. so for a fair global governance, they discuss their certificate foreign policy corporation, including within the u. n. as well as other multilateral platforms, like the as see, you know, bricks and the group of 20. also, of course, they've touched the phone, the ukrainian crisis, the ukrainian conflict, as user and ping said that he express hope that both parties will maintain restraints, that they will maintain rationality and hold a comprehensive dialogue. there was also a letter that was passed on from to meet the meet they give on behalf of black men who infusion thing. and in that letter, it expressed that there was an unprecedented level of russian c

you to announcement to billions of dollars more in aid, will be a very powerful signal supply that may putin. indeed, all right, but i'll just 0 keith estrella and china have agreed to more high level talks on trade. human rights and security is probably as foreign minister penny wong is in beijing. talks with the chinese foreign minister to try to mend relations between the 2 countries. if the 1st visit by a top astronomy in diplomat, in 4 years time between china and astronomy, i have been strained since paging, imposed tried barriers and refused an independent inquiry into the club. at 19 pandemic. i did sit at all positions on issues which are now also important to strengthens and are important to the government. relevant called compliment messes, tried blockages, human rights, as well as regional security, international security, and the norms and global rules trying to pin our prosperity. we have agreed to maintain high level engagement and we've agreed to further dialogue in arrange those areas. and richard kimble has more from hong kong about the china is strongly a foreign ministers

this month. moscow says that that was a drone attack carried out by ukraine or some presidents, as may. putin has accused the west of trying to tear rusher. a part in an interview, putin said he's trying to unite the russian people through his offensive ukraine, arguing that ukrainians and russians are one people. he says, is, government is acting in the interests of the people, and that moscow is ready to negotiate. an end to the conflict ukraine's president vladimir, when he says russia has lost everything but will continue to attack ukraine. so, so if you could mean total only a few days of this year left, we must be aware that our enemy will try to make this time dark and difficult for us. russia has lost everything it could this year, but it is drawing to compensate for its losses with the gloating of its propagandist after the massage strikes in our country on our energy sector. i know the doctors will not prevent us from bringing the invaders to their new defeats, but we must be ready for any scenario. russia laws more strikes on the instance that he have come with us on sunday, charle

meanwhile, the kremlin says president vladimir putin's annual address to the federal assembly may notappen until next year. he's already cancelled his annual year end news conference. u.s. think tank the institute for the study of war says putin may not be confident in his ability to justify to the public the war's toll on russia's domestic and global affairs. >>> now, there are growing concerns about a new wave of evacuees from ukraine this winter. millions have left the country since the start of the invasion and many fled to neighboring moldova. as nhk world's, with emergencies is being used to help. >>> the power is out in moldova's capital. the country depends on energy from ukraine, so the war across the border is affecting daily life. but the other big challenge is helping those who fled. about 100,000 ukrainians are now living in tiny moldova, and they need medical care. this is a japanese professor and a public health expert. he's visited moldova several times this year. helping officials deal with a flood of new patients. kubo says medical teams struggle to keep up with dema

conditionally putin they are playing, yes , what is the need, i see it that way, which is not considered at all, let's keep quiet what will be a serious hamlet? of course, lukashenko maybeneficial for you, but for himself, but some small things, but if putin arrives, yes, lukashenko - this means that he visits this message personally, he wants to say it together, it can be, er, it makes a certain sense and another sign for lukashenka what are the looks, i can safely come to minsk and maybe they will look at you in your chair in the window of your office and it is not known who will be sitting in this office tomorrow, i think that this is a visit to me, this is how it looks from putin's side, it's interesting, mykola, look at russia again this is information and today, unfortunately, these iranian drones have already attacked kiev, so russia ordered again and iran handed over new drones to russia, it is not yet known whether iran will hand over to russia the ballistic missiles that russia is asking for, what can this indicate about the fact that russia cannot produce them itself because the sanctions are in effect, or is it possible that it is about something else? yes

expect you to announcement to billions of dollars more in a will be a very powerful signal supply to may putin. indeed, all right, but i'll just 0. give the tunnel. bob has band all female students from attending university in afghanistan, the latest order cracking down on women's rights takes effect immediately. girls have already been banned from middle and high school. many countries have said that a change in policy on women's education is needed before formally recognizing the taliban government will rights activists say the move shows the thought of bonds, indifference to international criticism. every single time the wall puts a pressure on the toilet. on my saying do this or don't or you haven't done this or this is not done enough. then they come around and they be tied to it and they and they make it harder on the woman. so the women of have janice on actually have, have become as i said, you know, they don't for them they don't, they don't really exist. they're not human beings. they are, i don't know what they are. they don't consider them as, as you know, they just, they just are

i think this is something that vladimir putin may well be feeling envious about today. yes. how important for ukraine is the assistance that the u. s. is planning to provide, terry, including those are that patriot missile defense system that's been promised. this is really a could be a game changer for ukraine. they've been asking for patriots for a long time. one of the problems has been that ukrainians are not trained to use the patriot system and takes up to a 100 people to, to, to use this system. and now the u. s. has committed to train train ukrainians to use this and it shows that the united states is really willing to put is the very best weapons in the hands of ukrainians. again, a sign of reassurance, provoking cream and for europeans. some other elements of this package are our precision guided munitions, and that also will be very important for ukraine to really up its game in terms of offensive attacks, as well as defensive patriots systems does providing this kind of weaponry. terry put more pressure on european countries to provide more weapons and other supp

ukrainian troops to combat operations even if it will be and not successful military operations for putin, this may point be the only way out, because if ukraine begins to actively implement ideas regarding the liberation of the south, for example, and they begin the deoccupation of crimea, then for putin it may already be the last chance to throw in as many forces from the territory of belarus as possible to tie ukrainian forces are in these hostilities. but i think that at that moment it will be a complete collapse and ukrainian troops can already cross the border and begin the liberation of belarusians from the lukashenko regime, i.e. russia has wasted a lot of time when we speak there, six months ago there was one situation, now it is another, and in the next three months there will be another situation, that is, i think that once again the armed forces of ukraine understand this perfectly and will not give the russians a break so that they can prepare the necessary a reserve that can be used in the donbass or in belarus, so if the ukrainian troops now actively carry out their actions, the russ

vladimir putin said russia may add the first nuclear strike to its military doctorate. his comments to reporters today came days after the russian president warned the risk of atomic war is rising. the u.s. and allies denounced president putin for what they call "nuclear saber rattling over his invasion of ukraine." the cost overruns of the lockheed martin and 35 fighter jet, the pentagon's most expensive weapons system, will cost another $236 million to upgrade the cockpit computer that almost doubles the size of the original contract. first, the overrun is compared to the overall cost of the f-35 program. it added up last year from $968 billion to $412 billion. bloomberg has learned that tesla will suspend output in stages added shanghai factory later this month. a suspension will last until early january. tesla is operating its production lines and faces slowing consumer demand. global news, 24 hours a day on-air on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. amber: i am amb

not get tired the tired and sleepy are killed at night and russia and in the day there may be cancellation of putin'sederal assembly of the annual press conference it's not for nothing that he is so afraid of questions don't be afraid of the journalists who are tame there. oh, don't be afraid. i think you just have nothing to say in the detailed plan. he speaks at a meeting and says something, and a big press conference is a format when you need to give a lot of optimistic signals. it's the same, grandfather frost, oh, it's great here. and so we have wonderful and so wonderful and so wonderful and there is nothing wonderful and there is another reason, well, a billion reasons, but in italy he said very strongly the most important but i also see a very tactical reason, and i think that both intelligence and the military say imagine the picture, we see that the signals are already coming, the russians do not go out on the streets, but they already know much more about the failure of their own army today than it was there, let's say in march or april or may, and imagine that putin is standing handsomely

it may be that putin is going to ask the cash ankle to send to bella ross in soldiers to the front. this however, would be extremely difficult, follow gosh, angle. despite all his propaganda power, the deployment of the routine soldiers, internationally, credit war would be extremely difficult to justify and explained to his own population. that was a europe rossetto in reagan. they're going back to those russian drone attacks on keep this morning. official say, most of them were shot down, but some did hit harms and infrastructure repair crews are working to restore power . after ukraine's energy grid was battered by last week's barrage of missiles. the people of keys have gotten used to living in darkness. blackouts are a consequence of the seemingly never ending barrage of drone attacks from russia. there are no reports of fatalities from the latest wave which hit both energy infrastructure and people's homes. the ukranian air force claims its air defenses shut down 30 of 35 incoming missiles. this couple aged in their mid eighty's were at home when a drone struck their house. yo

belarus. weakened the russian army as well as russia as a whole but it doesn't matter that i think putin may try new attacks and we in the west should be ready to continue our support for ukraine russia in particular putin is preparing for the so-called long war which there are still tools left in the hands of the west, particularly economic and financial ones. perhaps there are some additional ones that would hurt the russian economy so much that they would be forced to negotiate with all civilized humanity. we see that the sanctions package is being implemented one by one. the russian economy is standing . with the help of which they begin to rebuild certain missile systems so that they then fly into our peaceful cities and kill us and forms of economic pressure on what collective measure has russia recently started or is planning to strengthen? first of all, we are talking about limiting russian exports, and the last and biggest example of this is limiting the price of oil. it is a complex mechanism. need, so russia's profits from the sale of oil are decreasing, you should not be complace

well, there is an opinion that putin may try to convince lukashenko to use of the belarusian militaryether with the russian forces for a joint attack on ukraine , some analysts and military officials believe that the general staff in our country so far maintains the e-e with such cautious optimism . every time i hear about the lack of a shock fist, i remember the lack of a shock fist in the 21st and early 22nd year, the same thing was poured into us literally every day from every iron from every refrigerator and from every washing machine on tv , the russians don't have good fists on that side , remember, that's why i would be quite careful about it, and in this situation, the question is that i don't want to worry the ukrainians so that there is no panic, it already sounds a little wild-honest saying that panic among ukrainians is possible and absent, but those traffic jams on the zhytomyr highway from cars that were in february at the beginning of the war, peaceful civilian cars with children were shot down to me a little, well , they seem worse to me here, panic there putin, well,

have weakened the russian army as well as russia as a whole, but it doesn't matter that i think putin may try new attacks and we in the west should be ready to continue our support ukraine, russia, in particular, putin is preparing for the so -called long war, which tools are left in the hands of the west, in particular, economic and financial . perhaps there are some additional ones that would hurt the russian economy so much that they were forced to bother with negotiations with all civilized humanity, we see that the sanctions package is being implemented one by one, the russian economy is standing, there are companies that provide the russian military with chips, with the help of which they begin to rebuild one or another missile systems, so that they then fly to our customs cities and kill we are a form of economic pressure on russia, which collective measure has either already recently started or is planning to intensify, first of all, it is about limiting russian exports, and lastly and the biggest example of this is the cap on the price of oil. it is a complex mechanism. it is not

and did not turn into a planetary civilization into some barbaric kingdom . about the fact that putin may use another tool, well, for putin, his entourage, of course. well, let's say, shaking the situation even on different continents, but even within europe and the european continent, for example , between kosovo, serbia, for example, between taiwan and china, helping in some way or contributing or let's put it this way, by the way he is moving in such a putin-like logic, including, no matter what they say . of the ukrainian issue and here i will recall the words of orban, who said literally the other day that you will not give- stop giving weapons to ukraine and the war will end there. and that is, can we talk about the fact that some other mechanisms can be turned on, well, on the part of the russian federation, what the russian federation is trying to do use all the tools at her disposal, including criminal ones and including corruption ones, well, that's all obvious, she did it before this war and continues to do it now, the problem is that they significantly overestimated the effect

. >> john: we had ambassador kurt volker on the show the last day and he suggested that vladimir putin mayn find himself in trouble. i asked him how the ukraine situation was going to end, and he said "putin is going to keep fighting as long as the russian elites allow him to," but it's more and more costly for russia, so i would say some time next year i think the russians are going to rein him in because it's too costly for russia, and he thought there might be a health issue the russian elites cite but suggested that putin may not be long for the presidency. >> and that's what zelenskyy has talked about as early as yesterday, as late as yesterday, he should say. he said if vladimir putin was dead, the russians would likely not be doing what they are doing. which is kind of provocative statement from the leader of the country they are fighting. but clearly russia is seeing some setbacks, and whether this press conference cancellation has to do with his health or those setbacks, we don't know. but that's what we are seeing on the ground, according to all the experts, including general kea

in addition, i fully accept that lukashenko puts forward eh putin such an argument that eh- the participation of belarus in the war maye 20th year, to mass protests, and the political crisis will become the main ally of putin. this is probably not what putin wants. mr. korablevych, in the end, do you think new protests are possible in belarus? i would say yes. there are two dimensions. the first is whether russia will be able to help suppress these protests . are these protests still possible? well, from the point of view that if belarus is involved in the war, will they take to the streets against it? well, you will ask questions that no one can answer today. - it's difficult очень говорит well, i want to draw your attention to the fact that today in belarus there is a process of evolution of an authoritarian regime into a totalitarian one, that is, political terror in belarus. and in belarus, people are arrested not even for political activity, but simply for dissent, for the very fact of commenting on a negative attitude to the authorities. on social networks or even like, i am telling you that there are enough peo

so what putin may do is redouble his efforts with iran.e may try to speed up production of his weapons systems. he may also try to work a -- more of a draft type situation in terms of conscription for russians and get them to really say hey, the west is ganging up on us. therefore, we need more troops. therefore, we need to fight harder in ukraine. i don't think it will work, but that might be what he does in response to this. >> cedric, how much of a difference can these precision guided bomb kits and patriot defense missile systems that are planning to go to ukraine make? >> so let's take the precision divided bomb kit that you mentioned first. it's designed to take what we would call a dumb bomb, one that has no gps guidance, and make ate smart bomb with gps guidance. so it makes these weapons far more precise. if they can pull things together so that they come off of a soviet-built fighter aircraft or through each artillery shells, they can really be a game changer, because it makes the ukrainian effort far more accurate. and they have

may. president putin had his end of year meeting with defence chiefs yesterday and he talked about new hypersonicre. is that a capability for russia, is that rhetoric in your opinion? and how far do you think nato is pushing its boundaries at the moment, which has been a big complaint the russians? first the moment, which has been a big complaint the russians?— complaint the russians? first of all, complaint the russians? first of all. compare _ complaint the russians? first of all, compare the _ complaint the russians? first of all, compare the leaderships - all, compare the leaderships president putin who sits at a long table in his office, with president zelensky, who the before coming to washington was at the scene of the worst fighting happening right now. that sort of inspirational leadership is making the difference. of leadership is making the difference. of course, the russians are developing capabilities but president putin has been bragging about these weapons for long before the resumption of the offensive back in february. so they are looking for everything they can to cause us to be

let's start with how you can comment on information about putin may start a new large-scale new large-scaleack on ukraine in two or three months, this may be hmmm, he may try, that is, actually, uh, i don't think that anyone thinks that uh, putin will he sits and waits for them to come after him and take him away, and he fed us to the defendants , so it's not enough. of ukrainian cities, all this will be a mandatory second question what is the extent of this it will be successful here, there are serious doubts, moreover, there is confidence that the potential of the russian army is not exhausted . it won't be. how then will the russian society react? that's your word, that's what they said, two words behind which, in my opinion, there is no designated name of the object of the russian society. there is no society in russia, but i think that you know this in russia. population in russia is citizens is population a-a but society is not that is why it matters population does not react yes yes analysis we have objectivity that is, in fact russians do not have the opportunity to react somehow we

vladimir putin may have celebrated annexing chunks of ukraine, but his problems keep multiplying.dge that links russia to annexed crimea. and it was under attack. russian officials claim a lorry had been blown up here and that the fire then spread to a fuel train and parts of the road had collapsed into the sea. triumphant chanting. kherson�*s residents emerge from their homes as the first ukrainian soldiers reached the main square. for them, it is the end of more than eight months under occupation. "it is the best!" said this woman. "a sunday without russians. "even the air, i can breathe." ukrainians have got a lot to celebrate because they have scored a major victory over the russians, much more quickly and smoothly than they had expected and while the russians have left behind a great deal of damage, for now, the ukrainians are focusing on that, because they believe they have taken a giant step forward to victory. but with winter coming, russia had already resorted to a new strategy. a war on ukraine's infrastructure. screaming. after months of quiet in the capital, the war is

well, let's start with how can you comment on the information that putin may start a new large-scale w large-scale attack on ukraine in two or three months? uh, i don't think that anyone assumes that uh, putin will uh, sit and wait for him to come and take him away, and here he fed the defendants , uh. - nibud gadosty, next, no offensive was taken, no attempts were made, uh, further bombardment of ukrainian cities, all this will necessarily be the second question, how successful it will be, here, here, there are serious doubts, moreover, there is confidence that uh, they will attack, it is not a potential russian the armies are exhausted. well, i would answer your questions with two or two sober words. it will lead to success, but it will not achieve success. well, what will happen if there is no success? how will the russian society react ? view does not exist any designable name of object russian society there is no society in russia but i think you know that in russia there is a population in russia there is a citizen there is a population a-a but there is no society therefore er m

such a level , it would be possible to be in the zone well, i also have concerns about what after putin may someone will come, on the contrary, with more nationalistic, more journalistic views than putin himself and more radical, but the same. such as, for example, igor girkin, a notorious military war criminal who, by the way, many are now commenting and even dare to criticize putin of his own in the records, first of all, it is not necessary to lympholyze bitter people, well, no bitter people will come to power, this is the first key moment, and the second is that we understand that uh, putin uh equals the second world war and putin equals this is what we have at the moment, the change of putin - this is, in principle, a 50/50 chance that, in principle, another person will pass, who will make the decision to end the war, return to the west , and other absolutely logical things from the point of view of the russian federation, so changing putin is a 100% chance for improvement, not a change 100% chance that the prolongation of the process will be as long as possible. well, girkin is intere

putin. her testimony in the 1st tromp impeachment trial made her a household may bear. she warned of the danger putin's destabilization efforts post to western democracy now as potent pushes forward with his invasion of ukraine. where does she think the war is heading? he doesn't see the sacrifices his people as a great tragedy or something to be factored in here. so he is prepared to keep pushing this to the fullest extent. and thus is the problem that we're contending with, was this putin's plan all along or have decades in power changed him. and what sort of russia and ukraine could emerge? fiona hill, welcome to complex sound. thanks so much, sir. a great to be with you. ukraine says that it is bracing for a renewed russian offensive in the next 3 months. they think that some 200000 fresh troops are being prepared and that moscow could have another go at keith. what do you think bruton strategy is? well ok, i think that's a reasonable assessment and certainly it's well founded on the part of the crew to be so cautious about this because we know that back on february

russian president vladimir putin is in belarus today. he mayean on one of his very few allies for help with his war in ukraine. "wall street journal" titled putin's belarus vision. jack keane, retired four star general. good morning to you. it appears based on the headlines and the story what he is looking for here is obvious. do you think it is necessarily? >> yeah, he has had a strained relationship lukashenko. longest serving dictator in europe who has had a frosty relationship with putin. no doubt they have provided a platform for putin to train his soldiers and had ground attacks and fired missiles and rockets from belarus. what putin would like is for belarus to come into the war. belarus is a border to nato countries, poland, lithuania, latvia and it would mean a lot to have him in the war. lukashenko's problem is the people don't like him much. they're fundamentally opposed to belarus getting involved in this war. militarily it is insignificant. 15,000 troops, poorly trained, not well equipped. they'll add nothing to the fight whatsoeve

concerns that putin may feel backed in a corner, how he could react, and the concern here is that it could be with a dirty bomb or maybe even a rodeo tactical nuclear weapon, if he feels his hold on the occupied area of crimea is in any kind of jeopardy. again, there is no indication that it happens any time soon. but the officials we spoke with said it is something they're discussing. >> do we know anything about the current u.s. assessment of vladimir putin, of his hold on the country, an his position of power, but also his mental state. >> so that has been a question all along. i mean even before the invasion, the u.s. officials say that they just don't know. there are all kinds of stories out, the potentials of health issues or some sort of problems with his mental state, but the reality is, we ask all the time, and officials just aren't sure, there are some indications that vladimir putin may be getting some better information or intelligence about what actually is happening on the ground, but that's also another thing that u.s. officials are not confident on. i think the one th

team at the world cup in qatar, he tweeted the following thank you for this greeting to president putin, mayite argentina with so many peoples of the world, serve as an example, our societies need unity and peace, fernandez wrote his reply and he also he made a repost of the recording that confirms the telephone conversation between the two politicians, so thank you to argentina for the victory, but what is interesting is that ukraine was noticed on our broadcast by one of the competent guests about the fact that argentina won exactly after they declared their support for our country. i really can't find this information about pheno, but the fact that the world cup was crowned like this. somewhere else 22 is also quite symptomatic and interesting. we continue to talk about the most important thing in our country, of course about russia's war against us in communication and studio yurii lutsenko, a fighter of the armed forces of ukraine, an air reconnaissance platoon, let's talk about the situation in the east, first of all, yuriy, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine, and good day to you to

a little about the trust between the two authoritarian leaders, it is clear that lukashenko may not trust putin completely i would be stupid if i trusted him in connection with the story with the make-up at least yes, but does lukashenko trust putin, why am i asking? today, we all celebrated how exactly the russian president flew to belarus, it seemed. well, it is also the territory of his country, so the airspace of russia and then you fly directly into it into the airspace of belarus, it is not close to the borders of other countries, but for some reason putin decided to disguise himself a bit and took off as many as three planes with different directions of movement, and only one of them, of course, was the russian president was the russian president on the plane and he himself was in zhiguli, you know, in a handkerchief, he was moving inland, so to the border , so to putin, to lukashenka, why do you think the russian president appeared? why did he choose such a reminder for himself, as they say? which fly very far and that's why, uh, it's not safe, uh, i'm conifers, and there's such a dange

weapons, then i think that it will just be an increase in losses, er, and just a meat grinder that putin may using as a time delay, and in the meantime, he hopes, maybe he will come up with something else, some kind of crisis, maybe china, he says, he dreams, for example, china er, for some reason will support putin although i think that this is absolutely necessary, comrades, it is absolutely not necessary and in no way is it beneficial. well, by the way, regarding the search for funds regarding the sanction, you usually also mention the fact that sanctions should be introduced against russian seedlings because the energy component connected with the atom, now this is an important source of power for the russian empire, somehow we have to fight with it, which financial indicators are directly related to this component, what is happening there, well, rosatom published it , that is, i saw it in the western press, for example er, data on 50, about 50 contracts, several tens of billions of euros and dollars, and ruslatom published his film report just the other day, and it was written that they

putin stronger and americans more vulnerable. >> dana: the likely next speaker of the house raising questions about the prisoner exchange for brittney griner. some analysts warn the division to free viktor bout may encourage putin to take new hostages. several dozen other americans held captive abroad. we'll talk to someone whose brother is being detained in iran. a new inflation report is out this morning suggesting there is little relief in sight. ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.” maybe it's perfecting that special place that you want to keep in the family... ...or passing down the family business... ...or giving back to the places that inspire you. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank, we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? ♪ okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals, and ensure complete with thirty grams of protein.

perhaps we knew people who went on to be senior in vladimir putin's circle. he may have had information on them. that was another theory, again, that he denied. a man of massive value to the kremlin. they're obviously glad to have him home. one whose real pass has not been truly elucidated. >> you make a good point, what would russia be so interested in him if he was someone just shipping food stuffs around the world. >>> we're joined by natasha bertrand, david sanger, nic robertson. david, the president spoke about paul whelan a great deal here and expressed his disappointment and sympathy for his family's disappointment that he was not part of this deal. he said the russians said whelan is different. where is whelan left now in all this? who can be traded for him? >> not in a good place, jim. first of all, incredibly joyous moment, huge moment for biden i th think. obviously brittney griner is such an iconic figure for so many people, this is what people are going to remember. that makes it in some ways all the tougher for paul whelan who obviously doesn't have th

that is, his regime is just like they say clappers, and after that, an uncontrollable process may begin for putinso he is clearly counting on or his technologies are clearly counting on some such decisions when it will be necessary to dump on someone and ah, they will simply make it extreme and then on time somehow make some kind of feint that will allow him to stay in power, you mentioned that the russians have significant losses, and there was a publication of the new york times where it says that representatives of the russian administration tried to inform the leadership of the united states that if there are even 300,000 killed there does not affect putin's policy in any way, but i am interested in whether there exists in russian society in russia such a pain threshold that is certain at times. the pain threshold in authoritarian countries simply does not exist. i was the one who wanted to say that in authoritarian dictatorial regimes, in principle, such a threshold does not exist because, well, firstly , people do not know a lot, and secondly, they really , well, what can they do, they can

i mean ordinary people who, well, one day putin may announce another wave of mobilization, well, let it's happening somewhere on tv, it's just that it's not it directly concerns the person in the family when they are ill, so in this sense, people are quite supportive on this topic, and it applies to this question. what concerns the possibility of a performance, but it is completely obvious that, after those russian failures, armies after the successful control of the entry of the armed forces of ukraine, the war will not end. putin intends to continue this war further. he has already publicly spoken about putting the economy on the mobilization rails, that is, eh, apparently, eh, the price of cannon fodder is absolutely not worth it to the kremlin. it is necessary to complete the tasks, therefore. yes, i expect that russia will accumulate enough resources again, and active hostilities will begin. of course, this is bad, but our armed forces are ready. but boris is ready for this . you have a question. please tell me a little bit about this with mr. mykola, uh, again, returning to tod

minister emphasized that in moscow it is time to think about reality, because the current russia may not exist. putin not ready, of course they have their own proposals to yes called negotiations. do you think it is possible at all and under what conditions at least some contacts between the leaders of the two states through political and diplomatic means, no conflict in the world on planet earth has been resolved where russia thrust its snout into what lavra is saying today, well, this brad sat down and mares or horses explain why because for them the main thing is to prove jurisprudence between the recognition by international norms of the possibility of the strong to take a bite out of freedom, you understand the weaker and here, a strong great russia attacked peaceful ukraine, which in principle did not threaten nuclear the guarantor country of the budapest memorandum stupidly took and cut off a certain part of the territory of ukraine, and i want us to compromise for them that we will allow them to bite off the same amount and in a couple of years come and eat the whole again ukraine, the world

putin's intention was to take care of pops by menacing. here with that huge long column of armored vehicles and men that were sent in that direction. and anticipating that village may zalinski, the ukrainian president would flee and that the government would fall. but it's certainly the case that as we know, that didn't succeed the 1st time around. but it's certainly the case that putin has still got his sites on the capitulation of ukraine, one way or another in this conflict. and if he thinks that having another goal here would be successful, then he will certainly try that. i think it's also signalling in terms of the, the large number of troops that are a must on the border of bell roost. putin's recent visit to bella luce, to meet with the bell russian president, alexander lucas jenko. that putin remains determined to press ahead with this war, and not really his mindset. he has not completed what he set out to do in february of 2022. and he's determined to see this through to his end, not to our end. and in fact, i, in the past month we have seen, couldn't suffering, humiliating defeats, in fact, in ukraine, russian troops being incapable of seizing and holdi

it may be that putin is going to ask the cash ankle to send to beller austin soldiers to the front. this however, would be extremely difficult. follow gosh, ankle, despite all his propaganda power, the deployment of the routine soldiers, either ashley crayton wore, would be extremely difficult to justify and explained to his own population. you re, russia, media are reporting that vladimir putin will make an important announcement at the defense ministry meeting this week. what can we expect from that? so the 1st of all, things are obviously not going well for vladimir putin because he cancel his annual press conference. this year for the 1st time in over 20 years, i presumably there are too many to difficult questions for the russian president to answer i what are the final, what are the final goals of the so called special mood authoration ukraine. the question about extremely unpopular mobilization, which is reportedly ongoing, despite officially being over also the withdrawal from song which boot and hasn't commanded on. so maybe put in would take the opportunity to announce som

that is why it is necessary to understand that putin may have his own interests, his entourage may haveifferent interests, his entourage may have third interests, but while they converge, the key question is so far 10, so far, 10 months. the second world war lasted from the 39th year to the 45th year, and there was the hundred years war, there was the seven years war , there was the thirty years war, that is, their yachts are simply the lord's, that is, they lose their leverage , they can lose money that is frozen, but nothing prompts them to tell putin that enough is enough or finally use a snuffbox here, and we don’t know what they’re talking about. and we’re not. i can’t be sure that they’re not looking for various ways now, they want guarantees. a historical parallel, but let's remember how many cossack uprisings there were in the history of ukraine and how the lion's share ended. part of these uprisings was that the cossack foreman simply surrendered his helmsman and at the price of surrendering him received even more land. valentine's guarantees should be given by the west and i'm

question of putin is agreed in advance by the kremlin, there are fears that any event involving putin mayso to speak, by unauthorized discussions about the war , the intelligence report says, meanwhile, on behalf of oleksandr lukashenko, belarus suddenly began checking the combat readiness of the army first the units have already left the deployment points according to the plan, the army will have to force the rivers, there is no birch, the monitoring group of the belarusian districts has published a map showing exactly where these rivers flow, it is quite far from the ukrainian border. for example, one of the rivers is 80 km, in addition, the belarusian district group informs that the content of the permanent deployment has already left the first units of the belarusian army, in particular, this is the military , the military of the 38th separate amphibious assault brigade, they are moving to the southeast from brest to the city of malorita, it is right next to the ukrainian border, we are talking about 25 armored personnel carriers, 30 trucks, communication vehicles of the border servic
