putin? and for the past three years, vladimir putin has been waging the largest war, the largest land conflict on european soil since the end of the second world war. and then we see the envoy of the president of the united states saying that he likes this person, that he's not a bad guy, that it's it's never about just one person, you know, often or at least sometimes in history. it definitely is about one person. it was about adolf hitler. it was about joseph stalin. now it is about vladimir putin. and i think it's completely unacceptable to see senior officials of the united states administration acting as propagandists for the kremlin and whitewashing all the crimes that vladimir putin has committed, both against our own people in russia, against the people of ukraine, and against the people of so many other countries around the world. >> vladimir kara-murza, thank you so much, as always. >> thank you so much for having me. >> next, the trump administration says that it was an administra

vladimir putin cares about vladimir putin.every drop of juice he can out of trump, and then he'll move on to the next plan to strengthen russia and weaken the united states. >> you know, i am very struck by the fact, david, that a lot of the language that trump uses to talk about greenland and canada is some of the same language that putin has used to talk about ukraine. so i wonder, what can donald trump or what does he need to frankly deliver for ukraine in this situation? >> well, i mean, look, ukraine is. fighting not just for ukraine. they're fighting for europe. they're fighting for the united states. and if the united states does not ultimately stand up for ukraine, we won't stop there. russia's already making moves against georgia. making moves against moldova would like to make moves against us, the baltics. but also, you know, as the europeans stop trusting us, start depending on themselves to stand up to putin, we may see other countries say they need a nuclear shield. we may enter a new nuclear arms race in the wor

president trump tried to warn putin.arn putin that if he does not start negotiating in good faith, then the u.s. will ratchet up pressure and impose unprecedented sanctions. because president trump knows putin only respects strength. he has acted accordingly. he sanctioned the north stream to purity withdrew for the imf tree be after the russia violation. he sent additional u.s. troops to poland and he armed ukraine with antitank missiles not blankets. that is why putin did not invade ukraine during president trump's first term. and that is also why putin must prove he is serious about peace and soon. we cannot allow russia to drag out these negotiations. now, while i agree that china is our case and threat we must remain tough and unwavering in the face of russia's enduring threat. because the reality is, russia maintains the world's largest and most diverse nuclear arsenal and despite suffering massive losses in ukraine, the russian army is now larger than it was before the war. the russian military is also reconstitut

now trump says he is losing patience with putin. "putin can't be trusted.esident trump many times. so when you ask why the cease-fire isn't working, this is why. putin never wanted an end to the war. putin never wanted us to be independent. putin wants to destroy us completely. our sovereignty and our people." putin's troops occupy about 20% of ukraine. the 600-mile front is largely frozen. world war i trench warfare plus drones. it's estimated that as many as 200,000 russian troops have been killed. what does just peace look like to you? "to not lose our sovereignty or our independence. we, no matter what, will take back what is ours, because we never lost it. the russians took it from us, the temporarily occupied territories. we will not recognize as russia those territories that the russians temporarily occupy. we will bring them back. when or how i cannot say. but what we can't bring back are the human lives. there's only one thing that can be done, justice. we cannot let go the issue of justice. those who killed must pay for the murders." zelenskyy tol

many times when putin and trump are interacting, putin is actually making fun. of him.s just it's completely lost in the translation. >> i thought that was fascinating. what do you think would happen if somebody close to trump actually explained what putin is actually saying to him, instead of the, the sanding over the rough edges that goes on from the translators. >> look, i. >> i'm not here to speculate why trump was in such admiration with putin. actually, he admires every dictator on the planet. i guess it's something inside of him. i think that's trump's nature. so he would he would love to have the same power. uncontrolled power as putin or ozempic or erdogan or whoever. that's on this planet. but, at the bottom, you know, it's it's it's trump keeps playing into putin's hands. and i don't think we should now speculate. what is the main reason behind it? whether he's a kgb asset or it's his nature or both? you know, simple question. if trump were russian asset, what he would do differently because everything that has been has been happening since the beginning of t

and if putin is stalling, then there's a reason. and i think putin is stalling. this is my personal idea because he really feels that perhaps he can influence president trump to give russia a better deal. and that's why look what just happened last week. the american, russian, american young woman, xenia, karelina, was released from prison. you know, so these sweeteners that that putin is offering and by the way, maybe we can talk by phone, all of these things. let's improve the relationship. but another factor in all of this, which makes it even more complicated, deals with what you were talking about just a few minutes ago. and that's the trade war and the trade war. president trump's trade war is having an effect on oil prices, and oil prices are going down, which hurts putin's economy. so the russians are having a little difficulty, you know, saying, yes, we're glad things are getting better, but, they don't want to say what's happening to our oil price? so it's it's complicated. >> yeah. and then there's also this discussion, of course, of potentially second

putin would love to expand his empire. what really worried me about the first two months of the trump administration, the oval office meeting was embarrassing. that was not putting pressure on zelenskyy, that was being petulant and ridiculous. the problem was he was taking all of the pressure off putin. the real way to peace is yes you have to put pressure on ukraine to accept something less than their maximalist goals, but you have to make sure ukraine can defend itself as long as putin thinks he is winning and take it all, he's not going to stop a war. you just throw the door wide open. we will see. how does he respond to this offer? it could go either way, but i'm deeply worried that because trump showed so much weakness toward putin that he is going to take advantage of it, that you are not going to get to a legitimate peace agreement. i don't think we should say why is he putting pressure on zelenskyy? he should focus on the fact that he is just basically waving putin in across much of eastern europe and that weakens

putin's closest advisor, alexander dugin he's been referred to as putin's brain.s been incredibly influential in this war. he now says putin is going to launch hypersonic missile strikes on kyiv to, quote, destroy everything and everyone. now he's talking about if the cease fire gets violated, whatever this cease fire actually is. so when putin says, dan, that he is open to negotiations for a peace deal in the context of a military that's 50% bigger than it was before this war. does anyone in ukraine take that? seriously? >> i mean, everybody in ukraine knows you can't trust the russians. you haven't been able to trust the russians for 300 years. never mind the last 30 years. they violated every single ceasefire, every single agreement. the russians basically, at this point, in my opinion, every war is boils down to political, military and economic issues. the biggest thing for the russians right now is their economic weakness. they have an achilles heel. their their weakness is their economy. and right now, i think president trump is going for the economy. and so

it was something he could leverage when when it was helpful and endearing to putin. but it was also something that was to his disadvantage. and he was never quite able no matter what he did, no matter what he achieved to truly break into putin's inner circle and that inner circle being, you know, as one analyst, tatiana stone via puts it, sort of friends and family. these are guys who have known putin since childhood and or, you know, knew him in his early days in the in the kgb or, you know, hired him, you know, as deputy mayor, i mean, these are the folks who played a large role in in putin's own personal trajectory to to power and and for those guys, they could it didn't really matter. they mess up and they would still get you know a choice assad could get to take over you know a a state company and, you know their in a world of of billions of dollars prigozhin he wants that but he he has to i mean, it's one of his associates said he always had to answer for his mistakes and he always risked finding himself sort of on the outside. and that that is what drove him.

putin thinks he's winning.d on paper. if you buy a map in russia today, four of the territories regions of ukraine are part of the russian federation. but on the ground he doesn't control them. so i've seen no evidence that he wants to stop until at least he gets there. and the only way you're going to stop him is to stop. him with military force. it's. you've got to match that force on the battlefield. >> to create. >> a stalemate. and then that's how you're going to get a real peace deal. otherwise, you're seeing the evidence that he's going to keep fighting, especially when we are disarming the ukrainians. the ukrainians are living off the arms that the biden administration provided. once those are out, they're going to be in trouble. and that's what putin is banking on. >> all right. give us a history lesson, because this is what i really want to know tonight. when you see elon musk and the administration's push to privatize the us government, does it remind you of what happened in russia in the 90s when ol

and putin is also planning to draft 160,000 more soldiers.t does that tell you about how committed they are to a peace process? >> i've never. been convinced. >> that putin wants. >> a peace agreement. until he can no. >> longer march. >> to west on. >> the battlefield. >> and by the way, that happens generally in wars. they either end. >> one side wins. >> or there's a stalemate. >> on the battlefield. >> right now, you have. >> neither of those. >> putin thinks he's winning. >> putin wants to conquer the. >> territories that he's. >> already annexed on paper. if you buy. >> a map. >> in russia today. four of the territories regions of ukraine are part of the russian federation. but on the ground. he doesn't control them. >> so i've. >> seen no evidence that he wants to. >> stop until. >> at least he gets there. >> and the. >> only way you're going to. >> stop him. >> is to stop him with military force. it's. you've got to match that. >> force on the battlefield. >> to create a stalemate. >> and then that's. >> how you're. >> going to get. >

that empowers putin for all the reasons that the chairman said. putin has big ambitions in europe.y can be blended if we are strong. if we deter him. but when trump came into office, cut off until support, cut off aid to ukraine, berated zelinski , would not even the mitt that russia started this war, about the same time praising putin and russia opening the door wide. for vladimir putin to walk right through. the pressure does not need to be on zelinski in ukraine. trust me. i think most people in this committee have been to ukraine at one time or another. there is plenty of pressure on ukraine being brought by russia every single day. the pressure needs to be put on 10 and russia to force them to the table and that is what this administration has refused to do today to be at it is prolonging the war and empowering russia and that needs to change. the larger question for this hearing, and agree with the chairman on the concerns about downsizing in europe and everything that goes into it. does this administration believe in the fundamental principle that has made our country strong

this would help fund vladimir putin's malign activities around the world. at the center of africa's strategy is olivia which serves as key logistical node enables activities across the continent. i look forward to general langley's assessment of africa's importance to vladimir putin strategic objective. as long as well as his description to counter russian actives in libya. posted by isis and al qaeda without sustained was absolutely right against sizes leadership targets is a global fight we cannot ignore the chinese communist party to overcome us strategically and the ability to protect american interests around the world. so we have a lot of important topics to talk about today. i look for jeering our witnesses address these and many other concerns during this hearing along with my friend the ranking member. for adding my condolences to the families of those soldiers who perished in lithuania. general, thank you both for appearing today. i also like to take a moment to recognize the final hearing on that committee for each of you before your well-deserve

it's going to embolden putin to act again. so there will be a wider war and will probably embolden hegemon in the middle east and an indo-pacific space specifically talking about china. they will see opportunity. they will see the tragic one of communities having lost its will to fight for it for its values its interests. second third points are bad news. and the good news and the bad news is, the current state of this conflict, this war of attrition. i agree. i don't think ukraine has endless time. it's being worn down. putin's going to throw countless bodies for an inch of terrain. and he knows that ukraine is close to the breaking point. the good news is, is it turns out that community has massive overmatch in terms of power when it comes to this conflict. i think about it. the united states and its european allies have a combined gdp. $54 trillion was russia have less than two defense spending. defense. well, the trans-atlantic community, it's about $1.5 trillion on a good. a lot of exaggeration. russia is about 200 billio

putin will notice and care more about what happens on the battlefield that he will about sanctions.nipulate iran sanctions and they have the evidence to prove it. but the battlefield makes a difference to him. that is what is in front of the president, he has decisions to make given where putin is in this is typical of what we have seen it p of putin's behavior fr a number of years. >> feels like he's playing everybody, playing the president, playing the administration in terms of what he's going to do here. then there is iran the supreme leader of iran responded to president trump's announcement that he could impose additional sanctions and the threat to bomb tehran if a nuclear deal is not reached. here is the comet. they threatened to attack us which we don't think is very probable but if they commit any mischief, they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow, your reaction. >> that's typical of the iranian response, they threatened military action and did the same with israel. you notice that since israel attacked a month ago, they have not responded to that attack. that att

but president putin is acting in the way zelenskyy warner trump about. is not someone to be trusted parties not willing to come to the table. he's not interested in that we will see if trump ends up reading the room and reads the actions putin is taking in changes to strategy there. shannon: we do know there's a host of sanctions on russia have been questions about actual enforcements of them. the reason for having this conversation about bringing this war to a conclusion is because of donald trump. i wouldn't speculate reason have not been put on russia because it president trump secretary rubio are trying to maximize the leverage they have over them it may be part of that leverage is doing a better job than the by administration of enforcing the sanctions appeared to still expect this war to come to a conclusion in a way that is satisfactory for the everyday american but to the point about the europeans i just have to say if they want to stay and the american defense umbrella they need to pull their own weight and stop wagging their finger about us spe

putin showed us in a matter of days. putin launched his attack the day after secretary rubio's words. the message was clear. he's not interested in peace. he would like a phony deal that buys russia time to rearm. we must not allow russia to waffle forever in negotiations. vladimir putin would prefer to. maybe he thinks he can wait out the war forever. but let me tell you, russia's economy and its industry show signs of cracking. a lot of the american people do not realize this, madam president, but the economy of russia is crumbling. we must show resolve in the face of president putin's growing weakness. we must not let him up off the mat allowing him to shore up strength for another assault. president trump and president zelenskyy will work toward a deal that will be good for the entire free world. good for ukraine and good for the united states but for the entire free world as -- world. as they negotiate we must keep in mind who their third negotiating partner is. and i say as i said on the floor a few days ago, if vl

and this was a narrative created by putin. but on the face of it, witkoff appeared to be buying into putin's narrative. so witkoff it appears back on the ground in russia to try to push ahead and try to get russia to a less conditional place on the ceasefire, because russia is pushing for sanctions to be lifted from banking. it suggested there couldn't be an international security force of any description or of a very limited description on the ground boots on the ground in ukraine after a ceasefire, and also has suggested that actually there should be some sort of interim ukrainian government not headed by president zelenskyy, by some sort of international oversight all of which go against the parameters of what was discussed about a ceasefire that would lead to, you know, the full sovereignty of ukraine. well, you don't secede your government if you have full sovereignty and you can't be told which boots you can have on the ground if you have full sovereignty. so, you know, witkoff back, engaging in what many analysts and ex

the mouton vladimir putin stops the work in end.ssador to nato from the united states and you see vladimir putin carrying on with his war. you can't approve, can you? >> not at all. i have to say i thought at the very beginning of the trump administration we had more leverage and he was willing to use it, that first day he tweeted if vladimir putin doesn't come to the table it is going to get worse, there's an easy way and a hard way and the easy way is better instances than we've seen no pressure on russia at all. vladimir putin fuels he has a freehand now, less inclined to a cease-fire that he was on day one. stuart: we believe it right there. always a pleasure, thanks for joining us. still ahead, democrats plan, obstruct and resist. >> donald trump must fire musk 50 days from today, musk's rain of terror must end. >> elon musk, you are fired. the american people are firing you. >> elon musk must be fired today. stuart: do they see no problem at all with government waste? that is what musk is doing, the house passed the budget bil

josh, the president was quote upset about putin and that maybe he doesn't want the same thing. >> ite it. russia continues to fire missiles at kyiv, ukrainian cities killing children. it looks like rush is having its way and i think it's encouraging that the president is seemingly aware of that and is trying to sound a little bit tougher but i don't believe there any tariffs imposed on russia and that could have been a good moment to show that we are willing to put some punitive measures on russia and i think the big test is when are we going to impose or have the russian envoy into this country, that is a change from the previous administration, i think the administration could use a page from the reagan playbook and put more tougher measures against russia. >> the secretary of state has been in brussels with conversations with allies and those who have a stake in what's going on between russia and ukraine. a report this friday european nato allies in canada on friday said they are willing to ramp up defense spending but are cool on american demands for the size of their military bu

but he hasn't got that from putin so far. putin is holding out that he wants various sanctions lifted from specific banks. he's also looking at putin is also appearing to desire to have control and say over potentially his indicated a future ukrainian government, potentially over which troops could come into ukraine and which troops couldn't as part of a security force to to bolster ukraine. so putin is a holdout on what trump wants, which is without constraints, agreement to get into proper cease fire discussions. so it would appear that witkoff is is on route to continue that effort. it's interesting that witkoff over the weekend in washington last weekend met with president putin's key envoy kirill dmitriev. and that also seemed to pave the ground way for that prisoner exchange that we saw yesterday. zhenya karelina, the american ballerina released, landed on u.s. soil about 11 p.m. last night after being held in russia on charges of, of of of on charges that that stemmed from her giving a donation of $50 to a pro-ukrainia

, wondering aloud whether putin can actually be trusted. and of course, many ukrainians and european allies would happily tell president trump that no, president putin cannot be trusted. now, the cease fire that was announced by the u.s. several weeks ago was quickly rejected by the russian side. and what has come about is essentially a narrower cease fire in ukraine and russia on energy infrastructure. and then last week, after the white house announced that that cease fire would be extended to fighting in the black sea, the the russians then added conditions, saying that american sanctions needed to be lifted. so this is going much too slowly for an impatient president trump, who is very eager to end this war in ukraine. so kirill dmitriev, coming here to washington to smooth out this trouble in the relationship, but raising questions about whether russia actually wants to end the war in ukraine and get to a ceasefire and eventual peace deal, or whether president putin is simply playing for time. alex marquardt, cnn, washington. >> we're

but putin wants victory. and that's been the problem all along. that the administration simply can't come to terms, it seems, with the fact that putin wants to win and he needs to win because russia's history is not kind to leaders who lose wars. and so that that real split, i think, has been hobbling the administration at the same time. what has never been clear to me is, is what is what is trump's bottom line for ukraine? so what does he want? what does he see america's interests there. what is his minimum negotiating position? >> we'll see what happens on that front. another very important sensitive issue right now. iran. iran saying it is setting out so-called red lines with the united states just ahead of tomorrow's important talks between the u.s., the trump administration, direct talks with iran in oman. is this iranian bluster, or is the iranian regime prepared to walk away if they feel the u.s. is threatening? >> well, it's a very good question, wolf. we don't know. again, i'm glad the administration is trying to sit down to negotiate wit

sitting down with putin for the third time just this year. it comes amid a flurry of new contact between the u.s. and russia, which so far has made little progress at ending the war in ukraine. it's being led by wittkopf, who's a longtime friend and donor of donald trump's and a fellow new york billionaire real estate developer. despite zero diplomatic experience, trump tapped wittkopf to be his envoy to the middle east. >> steve witkoff, who's just got back from the middle east and he's done a fantastic job. he's a. he's a great deal maker. >> it's a huge job, which only got bigger when he took on the russia portfolio. and this weekend, wittkopf is set to add more meeting with iran's foreign minister to try to hash out a new nuclear deal. iran's nuclear program, the russia-ukraine war and a cease fire in gaza, each a monumental task on its own. and wittkopf appears to be doing much of it himself. traveling around the world on his own private jet with little to no staff or officials with him. >> i don't want to put put words in president puti

putin just ordered 160,000 r russian citizens called for a spring offensive, doesn't seem like putin peace, where does this all go? >> this is indicative of -- putin since his initial aggression against ukraine in 2022 has been practicing all out war against ukraine. president did good job of bringing ukraine to negotiating table and ukraine agreed to critical mineral deal and ceasefire along border they probably would not normally agree to. what the president has to do now, maximum pressure campaign against putin. putin only rek ni recognizes strength. this will stop two countries from buying oil and gas, china and india, both have been profiting off this are wa, this will punish them and limit russia's resources they get from the sale of fossil fuel. this is how you pressure putin to reach a fair and equitable ceasefire agreement. >> carley: on the other hand, united states and russia are reportedly working on a rare earth mineral deal of their own. is it a good idea to partner with russia on that front? >> you know, i think that is a russian offer right now, they are trying to ent

he said he was off with putin after their call last week, in which putin went after president zelenskyyukraine. of course, president trump's frustration with president zelenskyy is also growing. so dmitriev coming here to try to get this relationship back on track for this cease fire. but it remains to be seen whether they actually do want this cease fire or if putin is just continuing to play for time. erin. >> and i wonder on that, alex. i mean, you know, when you look at putin announcing this week, right, the conscription. >> that they're. >> going through right now, they're going to have 50% more people in the russian military after that than they had before the war even began. certainly not in terms of actions. anything that signals a pulling back or getting. >> out of being a. >> war state. >> and even though the russian economy is suffering, that is why putin would be playing for time, because they do essentially have the upper hand. they are on the march. they are pushing ukrainian forces back in eastern ukraine. they are pushing ukrainian forces out of that russian province of

putin for four hours on friday. was the same day that trump himself said that russia had to get moving on a peace deal with ukraine. and then we see this horrific attack. more than 30 people killed in sumy, more than 100 injured in what's called a double tap. so two back to back strikes using ballistic and cluster munitions. so just a horrific attack. and the big question now i think, guys, is whether trump realizes that his time frame, his timeline for a peace deal in ukraine is different than vladimir putin's. we have heard from president trump essentially giving putin the benefit of the doubt, saying that he heard that this was a mistake. but regardless of the target, this certainly was not a mistake. this is something that putin has been doing for more than three years. some people around trump taking a tougher line, including his ukraine envoy, keith kellogg, who called who said that this crosses any line of decency. but that big question whether those around trump can convince him that putin may not be be inte

dmitriev is not just a close advisor to president putin.he is the head of the rdif, which is russia's sovereign wealth fund. this is what the treasury department wrote when they sanctioned dmitriev that vladimir putin and his inner circle of cronies have long relied on the diff and dmitriev to raise funds abroad, including in the united states. and so, kate, we are told that the treasury department actually had to lift temporarily their sanctions on dmitriev in order for him to be issued a department, a state department visa. so he will be coming here at a time when there is this mounting frustration. we've heard president trump talking about how angry he has been with vladimir putin for dragging his feet. dmitriev will try to say to witkoff and perhaps others, we do want this peace deal in ukraine, but there are still major questions, kate, over whether president putin genuinely wants that or whether he's playing for time. kate. >> absolutely, alex, thank you so much. great reporting. sarah. >> all right. right now stock market futures. yo

he's gone to moscow twice to meet with vladimir putin.o this is essentially the friendliest contact. and certainly the effort between dmitriyev and witkoff will be to convince the trump administration that russia is serious about wanting peace in ukraine. but but major questions about that. and of course, as you as you noted, with this mobilization of conscripts, real questions about what they intend to do. >> all right, alex, thanks as always. well. >> and coming up, i'll speak with congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan about the president's tariffs, plan, her state, which borders canada, is clearly has a lot on the line. >> and then later, my in-depth look at what happened when a virginia school banned cell phones. the teens i talked with had some pretty surprising comments, actually. i'm going to share those ahead. you're in the situation room. >> feeling anxious. >> i don't know what's. >> going on. don't worry. >> put your feet up. >> don't panic. >> we can help you cope. >> it's called. >> disassociation. >> it's all on fire. >>

this is about small d democracy and hungary's relationship with putin and xi jinping. and in addition, it's not about liberalism and conservatism. i mean, the hungarians, as you know, hold themselves out as sort of this bulwark against this corrupt, decaying western values and transgender ideology and migration and all of these things, when in fact, what's happening in hungary is a country that is consistently ranked one of the poorest countries in europe. for the last two years running, has been ranked the most corrupt country in the european union and is really struggling. and so what the political impetus is for the prime minister is to focus hungarians on all of these outside adversaries and enemies, whether it be george soros, whether it be ursula von der leyen, whether it be the united states ambassador. to try to explain why hungary is suffering in the way that it is and is not performing as its peers are now, with respect to the media ecosystem. look, the the media ecosystem in hungary at this point in the united states government's estimate and independent est
