says that putin is smart, who says he believes that he can trust putin and wants to work with putin.hat's your new reality. well, i have to remind you that, for example, in 2008, everyone in the world admired putin and medvedev much bigger than now. do you remember the so—called reset strategy declared by the 0bama administration? they were just nice friends with mr putin, they are kissing each other, etc, etc. yes, we have momentum... let's be specific. when donald trump says, and this is a tweet from just the other day, when he says, quote, "we should be ready "to trust vladimir putin," what is your feeling? well, it sounds disappointing for me and, you know, it's bothering me because i have no idea why mr trump is so kind to mr putin because their views on politics, on particular issues, they 100% differ. from migration to the economy, they are 100% different politicians. but they like each other and it's strange, but, well, i would say that international relationships between the kremlin and foreign countries, they wasn't the hot issue inside of russia. so, well, someone is good

yes, but putin doesn't care an more grip? yes, but putin doesn't care any more what — grip?t care any more what the west - grip? yes, but putin doesn't care any more what the west things l grip? yes, but putin doesn't care - any more what the west things about him, he's long discarded any international legitimacy when he started the war in ukraine. nor at this point does he care that the russian people love him, he won't win the hearts and minds of the russians. so what this does is a very high—profile assassination, it sends shivers down the spine of anybody who has any feeling that they want to challenge putin, because the consequences of challenging putin is death. the same way that the consequence for a soldier for mutiny, way that the consequence for a soldierfor mutiny, like prigozhin — this is the act of a dictatorjust trying as best he can do absolutely terrify his people into submission. you mentioned ukraine and took me to a place i wanted to go, in america we've seen republicans blocking aid to ukraine, so many people worried about the consequence of that, it help

yes, it's about the survival of ukraine, but it is stopping putin. stopping putin. the eastern european countries, to include what has taken place at the munich security conference right now, the director of that conference, the former foreign minister of germany, is telling his colleagues that right as we speak, putin is preparing his forces for hybrid warfare in eastern europe, likely focused on the baltics, similar to what we saw in 2014 in crimea and then in eastern ukraine. >> is he making those preparations, why? because of the confidence that he has that he is going to be able to take ukraine. that the political will of the united states and europe has broken. and he has broken it. and that is what he is doing. and, listen, the thing we got to understand about putin, he does what he says. and he has talked about ukraine for years. and talked about the former states that were a part of the soviet union, returned to the soviet empire. he has never given up on these things and he is moving in that direction. we have got wake up and take this issue seriously. and

putin killed navalny, and why did he? because putin is weak.. putin killed navalny because navalny was the one opposition leader in russia that putin feared the most. so this is a really tragic day for me and it should be a tragic day for anybody who cares about democracy. navalny in my view, was the -- put him in the category of brave, courageous leaders that, you know, remember. he went back to russia. he didn't have to go back. he within the back for his country because he was a patriot that believed that his country could be different. i put him in the same pranks as the navalny, mandela, but with one tragic difference now. navalny is dead. >> ambassador, i'm so sorry. i know he was a close friend of yours, and gosh, i didn't know you were with his wife last night. can you remind our viewers, because sometimes it's lost. they know the name, but they don't know the full story about the lengths to which alexei navalny went to fight the corrupt government, the authoritarianism of vladimir putin? as you said, even after he was poisoned, he volu

i believe that putin is traveling with two countries to agree. he was in saudi arabia before that, and now he will go to turkey to choose or propose the format of the negotiations regarding ukraine, either the istanbul one, which already took place, or the summit in jeddah, which took place in august last year, which was hosted by saudi arabia and where negotiations were held with trump as the future president. it will already be in november. and it is possible that the venue, naturally no one will go to moscow or washington, can be istanbul, jeddah or riyadh, this is the global south, it can host, and not some kind of geneva, as was the case with biden. it seems to me that putin is interested in the support of such an idea from the global south, the initiators. summit in jeddah, saudi arabia and other countries, and the istanbul format was already in 2022, and putin now appeals to it, says: "you fools, you didn't agree with us then." so, i can well assume that, in addition to other issues related to the relations between turkey and moscow, erdog

nobody does, apart from vladimir putin, realistically, in his russia, yet still, vladimir putin felt a degree of threat. now i should remind you that this is going to take over discussions behind me here discussions that were being overshadowed by trump, former trump remarks about nato members not paying their dues and potentially him goading putin on to attack them. this is that a mitt putin's threat. at its clearest, at its most real and possibly also to maybe this most paranoid navalny, as i say, was kind of out of the way in that arctic prison, yet still, it appears that his death occurs. the most fair to say, certainly within the custody or duty of care of the russian government itself, we are due to here in the next hour or so from vice president kamala harris. she had remarks prepared to try and project confidence reassurance that the united states was stigma with its nato allies. many people here knew that trump felt that way about russia and about nato, but still to be reminded the possibility that the end of the year indeed that may loom again as a threaten, europe may have

putin will use nuclear weapons, even musk poked putin, his tweet recently appeared in which he said thatprince oleg , by all accounts, was a good guy, er, that is , in principle, he laughed at him, but in general we must understand another point, that in contrast to this historical delusion of vladimir putin, on unfortunately, we do not give our true version of history, and here, if... it didn't sound paradoxical, there is a kind of vacuum from our side, which is filled with all this delusion that ukrainians do not exist and so on and so forth. well, from my point of view, at least at the level of senior management it would be worthwhile for ukraine to hold a lecture on the history of ukraine in one of the european universities, it would probably be very good if volodymyr zelenskyi would do it, who would simply ridicule on the one hand the criticism that putin spoke and give our version of our ukrainian history , because i will repeat once again, the information vacuum on our side is being filled with vladimir putin's malaise, and no matter how much someone laughs that the conditional re

, and putin is putin , he is not khrystyna yatskiva, why should putin treat someone like a sack, he wantsmonstrate that he is the master of the situation, he does what he wants, the main task of putin is to show everyone around that he is, that there are no red lines, that he couldn't cross, and that he... nothing at all counts, and by the way, i have to say that now i perceive putin as this, the horynich snake, ugh, do you remember, there was one with three heads, this russian folklore character, there is one head of putin that i know well, which i have seen repeatedly, since the end of the 90s, this is the head of this st. petersburg gopnyak, who will urinate in the toilets, we will kill everyone... let's put things in order, this putin seemed completely unsuitable for any serious political activity, he is completely abnormal responded to calls, no went to the residence when there was an accident with the kursk submarine, treated these unfortunate women who lost their husbands, submariners, with contempt, behaved completely inappropriately, like some person in sweatpants, came to the co

, and he monitors the results of the elections, even if you imagine that 90% are against putin, putinould not give up power, he secured the result with bayonets and defended it, he would write , that he has 90%, and would not allow people to come out and be outraged by this violation, substitution or falsity'. that is, that in no case should a serious, irreconcilable contradiction arise. the real picture cannot be replaced only by virtual, invented elections and their results. can not. people still have maintain loyalty. he watches over it. war is definitely a stimulant. people began to live worse, someone is sent to the front. someone is in the army, someone got scared and left, relocated outside of russia and wants to return, etc., i.e. a lot of problems related to the war, and how else? putin cannot take a break, he is now, as forbes writes, i read this article, preparing for an offensive in the kharkiv region, it is possible that this is an attack and a pso, perhaps the actions of the russian army of the kremlin, precisely such as to provoke expectations of an invasion from belgor

will definitely deepen them, and probably about this is also what putin should say. you arrested ourour currency there, that means the one you have in europe, mostly, because we haven't arrested it yet in yours, we suffer twice, you arrested us, we can't use our currency, and in that while we can seize your property, but until now, you don't let it out either, well, we don't let it out, but they weren't arrested, it doesn't work in the economy, it works for them, we're foreigners, it doesn't go anywhere, but it doesn't reflect. taken out, but not arrested, it works in our country, as it lies there, and the profit, what is the same plane there, you see, you can talk about propaganda, but if the plane is shot down in five hundred today, then how many how long will it take for a rocket to reach us, and how long will it take for you to reach america, should we to take some measures, will he intimidate the americans, but this is not intimidation, what you are leading fellow americans to do , he should say simply.' in order to, rather, show that the biden administration is not coping with

pavle, so let's start with carlson, the one who tucker and the one who interviewed putin, because putin through tucker said, that americans should not support ukraine, and called to do so, it is in the interview of carlos, tucker carson, let's listen to what the kremlin dictator said. you have nothing to do, you have a lot of border problems, migration problems, national debt problems, over $33 trillion, nothing to do, you have to fight in wouldn't it be better for ukraine to come to an agreement with russia, come to an agreement, understanding the current situation, understanding that russia will fight for its interests to the end, return to common sense, start treating ours with respect. the country and its interests and look for some solutions. that is, putin publicly invited biden to negotiations regarding ukraine, do i understand correctly, mr. pavle? well, it's not the first time he's done this, but he 's not inviting biden personally, he's inviting republicans as well, and actually, if you hear. look at his arguments, these are arguments that are heard in the part of the republic

putin is the leader of an organised criminal gang. putin is the leader... sorry.oisoners and assassins. they are just puppets. the most important thing is the people close to putin. his friends, his associates, keepers of money. you and all of us must fight the criminal gang and the political innovation here is fighting organised crime, not political competition. no diplomatic notes, but investigations into the financial machinations, not statements but the source of associates in your country for discrete laws and financers who are helping putin and his friends to hide money. in this fight you have reliable allies. there are tens of millions of russians who are against war, against putin, against the evil he brings. we must not persecute them. on the contrary you must work with them, with us. applause putin must answer for what he has done with my country. putin must answer for what he has done to a neighbouring, peaceful country. and putin must answer for everything neighbouring, peaceful country. and putin must answerfor everything he has done to alexei. applau

that's ri . ht, against president putin. that's right. she _ against president putin. that's right, she started first of - against president putin. that's right, she started first of all i against president putin. that's| right, she started first of all by talking about the impact on her as the wife of alexei navalny, saying she used to come to strasbourg with the children in happier times and now she was returning to pick up the mantle, to continue the work that her late husband was doing. she gave us an insight into what the past 12 days have been like, battling to try and retrieve her husband's body for the russian authorities and trying to make plans for the funeral, which she confirmed would take place in moscow on friday afternoon. but she was saying that she's not sure whether it will be peaceful or whether it will be peaceful or whether people would be arrested as they come and try to say goodbye to her husband and i think that is something we will be monitoring, whether the authorities to impose restrictions or what happens to people who come to pay tribute on

the white house commented on the low-level interview with putin.y, kirby's representative actually forbade americans from watching the interview with the russian president, saying that everything putin says is fake. the truth is spoken only by kirby himself, black lesbian karin jeanpierre and... waging a personal war with stairs, confusing everything around biden. today, by the way, it turned out that joe communicates not only with the dead meteran, but also with... they are choking in bile about putin’s interview with tucker. the european union is even going to impose sanctions against tucker. well, that is , against a us citizen, this means only one thing: in the unfinished ranks of our partners, there is complete disorderly vacillation, and in general they have some kind of unusual freedom of speech there. but it will be interesting, of course, to watch these same europeans change their shoes in the air. conservative american journalist tucker was in moscow to interview russian president vladimir putin, and he had already done it, the journalist

if putin wins in ukraine, he will not stop there. autocrats everywhere will feel emboldened to change the status quo by fours. in the u.s., the price of defending the free and open international border we depend on will go up exponentially. democracies everywhere will be imperiled. support for ukraine is not simply a nice to have, but a vital, strategic investment in our own future. thanks, max. i look forward to our conversation. [applause] max: thank you, undersecretary nuland. let me start by asking how you see the state of the war right now with usaid essentially having dried up and ukraine facing a russian offensive, having seized territory and running low on ammunitions. if we are not able to provide aid, what is the outlook for ukraine? undersecretary nuland: tremendously difficult, as i made clear and as we see on the battlefield. in the last three, 4, 5 months, ukraine has had significant successes, most have been in the asymmetric realm, what they have done to the do and surprise attacks where the russians were not expectin

. ,, ., the future as opposition to putin. ., the future as opposition to putin, ., ., putin.putin. so, at the moment, | there's no other opposition leader in russia. it's a british subject who is in prison for 25 years but he didn't quite have the organisational following that alexei navalny had and all of the officials who worked for him have left the country. putin's other opposition are in jail. we even saw tonight how people who were silently in putting flowers out at memorials to alexei navalny in different cities in russia, some of those were detained. there is no one on the horizon who could fulfil the role that alexei navalny fulfilled and i doubt that they will be all the while putin remains in power. we've heard international outcry from many world leaders, russia is a ready subject to sanctions. there is a warrant out for the president's arrest. what impact does it have on president putin? it what impact does it have on president putin?— president putin? it has very little impact. _ president putin? it has very little impact. he's - president putin? it has very lit

guess what putin will say. and among the proposed answers, that... ukraine is not a real country and other statements from putin's usual rhetoric. and about the conversation itself , the politician writes that, in particular, that it was a victory for the kremlin propagandists, because there were no issues that were inconvenient for the kremlin. and more the publication notes that carlson's interview with putin is longer than the conversation with hungarian prime minister orban and former us president trump. and the washington post writes that putin barely gave carlson a word in the conversation. the british guardian at the same time quotes putin, who at the beginning. asked: is this a talk show or a serious conversation? viewers believe that neither of these succeeded, putin was talking about the history and justification of the war. the financial times publishes a column with the headline how carlson became putin's useful idiot. carlson claimed that he is the first western journalist who is interested in an interview with the russian president, whi

speaking of putin's framework visions and proposals.mber, yes, how many throwaways there were devoted to the istanbul format of throwaways, i don't know, careless wording and so on and so on and so on. well, they tried to make ends meet. of the then prime minister of great britain boris johnson, although in any case we understand that it was not his decision, not his vision, simply, the collective event could not accept such a thing, there the withdrawal from the istanbul agreements was a combined decision, the deanery in buchi really influenced the readiness of the event at that moment in the spring of 22 to supply weapons in significant quantities so that ukraine could defend itself . and the position of ... society was taken into account, ukrainian society did not want any agreements due to concessions, plus it was clear that the success against which these negotiations began, moscow, when they attacked ukraine on february 24 and approached to the kyiv region, turned out to be imaginary, that is , the opportunity to implement this pl

so what does putin want now?ieve that he simply wants a repetition, a reproduction of the situation that was not at the end of the cold war, at the beginning, or eventually before the beginning, when he is ready to negotiate, negotiate new rules of the game in the world, that is, this is his understanding, this is him wants a new format. distribution of influences, which is conventionally called yalta-2, well, we understand that after the second, at the end of the second world war, it was yalta-1 that formed a new world order in yalta, which actually existed until today, until recently before the russian invasion of the russian federation into ukraine. now putin wants to show that we can, that he is ready to sit down at the negotiating table, where the bargaining chip will be several geopolitical positions in the united states of america, and the question is only with whom the united states of america negotiates. yes, and in the european union there is a new format of the world order under the conditional name of

we don't know if putin is responsible, but all sources are pretty much going to point to putin beingesponsible. >> dan: that was vladamir putin's decision for sure. violation of human rights take place on a daily basis, that is what he uses his security service for. that is what the fsb do. they poisoned navalny in the first place with the nerve agent and ensured he would head off to siberian death camp. i have concerns about u.s. citizens being held. dana perino made a fantastic point about why it is imperative to get citizens home. every moment they spend in these conditions is a risk to their lives and they are in harm's way. this latest tragic death we've seen at the hands of vladamir putin is further example. we've got to do more and vladamir putin holds all the cards. he increased leverage and i expect vladamir putin to ask for more, not to be generous in returning him to the united states. >> brian: you hate the swaps, we are paying for hostages and swapping people. we really have none of their people. there was a spy picked up in germany, they might want to do that. i don't k

putin is responsible for navalny's death. putin is responsible. what has happened to navalny is yet nor proof of putin's brutality. no one should be fooled, not in russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world. putin does not only target citizens of other countries as we've seen what's going on in ukraine, he also inflicts terrible crimes on his own people, and people across russia and around the world are mowshing navalny today because he was so many things putin was not. he was brave. he was principled. he was dedicated to building a russia where the rule of law existed. and where it applied to everybody. navalny believed in that russia. that russia. he knew it was a cause worth fighting for. and obviously even dying for. this tragedy reminds us of the stakes of this moment. we have to provide the funding so ukraine can keep defending itself. against putin's vicious onslaughts and war crimes. there was bipartisan senate vote that passed overwhelmingly in the united states senate to fund ukraine. now as i've said before and i mean this in a lite

i don't want putin, bill ruling of russia. i don't him being president, i don't want him being tsar of russia because, well, he's killing people. his reason why our, the whole country is degradative. he is a reason why people are so poor. we have 25 million people living below the poverty line and the whole degradation of system fortunately for me, including system of assassination i'm of people. he's a reason over that. and i want to go back and try to change it. >> we have team coverage right now on this breaking news, i want to start with clarissa ward in london. i mean carissa just explain to our viewers one just the significance of these reports, but also the significance of the timing of these reports. >> i think this was a moment where everybody feels chills. it is something that a lot of people had brace themselves for the possibility of since alexei navalny was taken into custody when he returned to russia after being poisoned with novichok and surviving it in january of 2021, there was, of course, a great deal of con

make no mistake — putin is responsible for navalny�*s death. putin is responsible. to navalny is yet more proof of putin's brutality. no one should be fooled — not in russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world — putin does not only target citizens of other countries, as we see with what's going on in ukraine right now, he also inflicts terrible crimes on his own people. and people across russia and around the world are mourning navalny today because he was so many things that putin was not. he was brave, he was principled, he was dedicated to building a russia where the rule of law existed, and where it applied to everybody. navalny believed in that russia — that russia. he knew it was a cause worth fighting for. and obviously even dying for. that was president _ and obviously even dying for. that was president biden responding just a short time ago. we'll have more reaction shortly — but first, our diplomatic correspondent paul adams looks back at the life of alexei navalny. for years, alexei navalny was a thorn in the side of the kremlin. a lawyer by training,

he is putin, he is not khrystyna yatskiv, why does putin have to carry around someone with a written bag, he wants to demonstrate that he is the master of the situation, he does what he wants, the main task... putin to show everyone around him that he is, that there are no red lines that he could not cross, and that he does not count for anything at all, and by the way, i have to tell you that i now perceive putin as this, zmiya horynich, remember, there was one with three heads, this russian folklore character, there is one head of putin that i know well, that i have seen many times since the end of the 90s, it is... the head of this st. petersburg gopnik, ugh, yes, let's wet in the toilets, kill everyone, restore order, this putin ee he seemed completely unfit for any serious political activity, he reacted completely abnormally to challenges, did not go er to the residence when there was an accident with the kursk submarine, treated with contempt towards... these unfortunate women who lost their husbands, submariners, behaved completely inappropriate, not some person in sweatpants,

i navalny was such a thorn in vladimir putin's side-— putin's side.ss alexei navalny is a most prominent, _ putin's side. i guess alexei navalny is a most prominent, the _ putin's side. i guess alexei navalny is a most prominent, the most - putin's side. i guess alexei navalny is a most prominent, the most well known and probably one of the brightest critics of vladimir putin and the kremlin in the past 15 years or 20 years. we have seen that one by one those people who dared to openly criticise the kremlin, to challenge the kremlin narrative by disappearing one by one, some killed, some ended up injail, some poisoned with unknown substances, some of them were even poisoned several times. alexei navalny�*s friend and ally was poisoned twice before he was put in prison and each time he decided to return. so alexei navalny with very bright politician, very intelligent but also very talented in presenting himself. his youtube channel was incredibly popular, films and youtube videos he produced gathered millions and millions, certain videos got 20 or 30 m

putin just gave a lecture on hundreds of years of history. what he had for lunch. from the first day of work, german chancellor olaf scholz has been clearly moving in whose direction, hesitating exclusively with the general line of washington, where he arrived. about an hour was allocated for communication with biden, that is, half of the time that scholz apparently spent the day before watching putin’s interview. when we saw this funny interview that... left add about the evil empire, the head of the good empire, who was sluggishly nodding his head on the other side of the fireplace, would definitely have supported. kissinger was right when he said: since napoleon, europe has not looked over his shoulder or worried about russia until now. biden got it all wrong here. kissinger, in his book world order, just wrote that the people of russia surpassed napoleon's army and after the victory, russia - quote, found itself in a possible position. apply his famous shuttle diplomacy, like boris johnson did, only not a peaceful shuttle, but an underwat

in the case of putin, i think it is both.the effectiveness of the russian in a social media and for the leaders. it really impacts more people than tv shows, weekly shows. to a point, exactly of the day they were coming back to moscow, on thursday to go live again. that is the most effective tool. he was trying to come back on thursday to go live because it was an effective tool against putin's propaganda. social media is also a mistake, we can make it, to the encouragement of the ukrainians. it has been censored. still, the work has done well with expectations. he also has his own army which is cut off and demoralized. that was a mistake, again, we need to give more weapons to ukraine and more money to ukraine during this war if you want russia to be democratic and peaceful, if you want to kick out putin, ukraine aid should win. i think this is something which has nothing to do with the book. this is something which we see a war of this entry going on in europe today. these other wars which are not only won in the informatio

is true the kremlin's official position, which putin would like the west to hear.l not agree on anything good with the west , of course, he does not want any peace in ukraine, but he wants the west to believe that he is ready for... such a compromise, to whom are all these words addressed and this is the whole interview, only to one person, trump, it's all for him, because now putin has, well , to be honest, the geopolitical situation, well , to put it mildly, not very well, because whatever we talk about mobilization potential of russia, that it put the economy on military rails is all true, but geopolitically, russia is losing a lot, because remember what it was before the war, the big war. in ukraine, russia claimed to be the third in the world or even the second in the world, that is, it was a respectable country with which, in principle, you could do business, which was perceived as one of the world leaders, and now it has turned into some kind of iran , on some regional power that is powerful, but prevents everyone from living, this is a completely different

putin, well, this is my version already, so putin guarantees that he will really make some concessionsl, in order for it not to be a peaceful negotiation, yes, trump becomes president and he comes to moscow, or he comes to helsinki or wherever, meets with putin, and comes out, says that there is nothing to negotiate with him, because he, well, it's not the best situation, right? they , he comes out, says, we talked with putin, as i promised, we agreed on everything within 24 hours, there, i don't know what putin is ready to do, that's another question, yes, and here, here it will be caught in this interview , it is possible, in principle, that putin does not want to communicate with biden, does not see the sense in this, he says this frankly, he has time, as he believes, he will wait until november, there will be a change of government, and he will wait. more favorable conditions for him than trump could offer him today, but this is in the case that he, trump, fulfills his part of the agreement, yes, that is, he will not give help, and trump will simply use ukraine in two or three mont
