. [ applause ] jake sullivan, samantha power, so glad you're here with us. such an important night. the audience is getting ready to ask you questions, but before that, while they prepare, let's go to our reporters in the region. they've been covering this conflict for the last year in and out of ukraine. we've had teams there all the time. senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is in moscow. senior national security correspondent alex marquardt is in dnipro and clarissa ward is in kyiv. we'll hear from fred and alex later in the program, but now clarissa, i want to ask you something very simple to help us set the stage. what is the state of this war right now? you've been covering it for -- ever since it began. >> reporter: that's right, fareed. and when we watched explosions one year ago lighting up the night sky, the expectation from intelligence services was that kyiv would fall in a matter of days. well, one year later kyiv is still standing. you can see the lights are still on behind me despite a ruthless concerted russian campaign to target

joining me now is samantha power, the former u.s. ambassador to the u.n.ng with us. there's so much on your plate. you have been traveling nonstop for the last year or more. russia has been attacking, as you know, energy infrastructure in ukraine, using food as a weapon. these are war crimes. how can ukraine's people survive this long war now going into the second year? it's a war of attrition. i know we are helping. but fundamentally, the need is enormous. >> i think putin's calculation, of course, invading ukraine a year ago in the first place was this would be a cakewalk, that he and his proxies would be in control of kyiv and control the whole country within a matter of days. here we are a year later, and putin has achieved the opposite of what he set out to achieve. he tried to divide nato. nato is more united than ever, is going to grow. the effects in russia proper of this war have been devastating, not least in terms of human life and the enormous number of russian casualties. as it relates to winter and energy and your question, it's the same vers

the end this was announced last year by the administrator of the us international aid agency, samantha power, who on friday, together with the ambassador of ukraine, oksana markarova, commemorated the anniversary of the great russian invasion. 9 billion dollars of emergency aid is the result of the law on additional aid to ukraine, which was adopted at the end of last year. this money is intended for direct support of the ukrainian budget until the end fiscal year, that is, for the first nine months of 2023, this corresponds to the one and a half billion dollars that we provided every month to help ukraine cope with the budget deficit of 5 billion every month, which is approximately equal to this gap between the revenues that ukraine can receive and the expenses that they face by the government, in particular, to pay salaries , support the work of the government, and so on, samantha power emphasized that american economic support helped rally other international donors, in particular, the countries of the group of seven increased their commitments to budget support of ukraine up to 39 billio

well, in the background there samantha power against the backdrop of hillary clinton and a number ofgh heels she will beat russia china, but still aesthetically it’s not about that now when they talk, but now it’s not about that that’s interesting what is really strange. we have a mantra. why, uh, a simple american ordinary meadow, he thinks hamburgers, he doesn’t need anything, yes, and about how he is in the city there, yes, but here, but here it really begins, russia, china, or they were frightened. these balloons are balloons that are already inloys of aliens brought and who is it possible, or is it actually a republican? well, hayley is a republic, and they are tearing the democrats into two parts, on the one hand, the trumpists say. here, and biden is drawing america into the war there, the third world war, the balls are already flying. something else will fly tomorrow. and with me there would be no war, he says he was talking, but there are yacons, right? and those who write different articles. u, where they say that biden does not wage war well, that he is too weak, small-leg

in principle, they can’t have now sent to samantha power with the former, well, a high-ranking diplomatfact that this charming lady will distribute there on the maidan and in budapest, the next cookies, there and the budget, which she heads is huge. uh, but at these are the people who are instructed to promote american interests in the world in international organizations, but they also belong to this class of intellectual idiots. here is half a m-massara senior adviser to the united states of america in the organization for security and cooperation in europe to see how wonderful he looks. here he is, uh, here he is with a nazi, this is an adviser. yes, uh, senior adviser to the american delegation to the osce, but i must say that in america, of course, not everyone is so uh, stupid, of course, and appear there people, but they do not stay in power for long. here is michael flynn known uh, in general, an american general, he was an assistant. e for national security. he was the first in the administration, he was devoured immediately by trump, and here is a view in case, if you still do

usaid administrator samantha powers saying -- >> the united states is committed to supporting the recoveryl already at work. the need for help is staggering. this is the first time serge and rescue crews have been able to make it to this neighborhood, and the neighbors believe a mother and her two sons were trapped in that building. they're not sure if they're alive. the search and rescue teams are trying to find them, but it doesn't look good. this man lives next door but says he wasn't home when the earthquake struck. by a miracle, he tells me he was out of the building getting a cup of tea. he and his family are now living in their car, but all are alive. more than 50 hours after the quake, scenes of apocalyptic devastation. these powerful satellite images show the scene before and after, and there is mounting despair in the region. in syria, access remains a huge challenge. humanitarian groups calling for desperately needed aid, hospitals in the war-torn region now completely overrun. in turkey where it's winter, survivors huddling for warmth near a fire waiting for news of those still

samantha, just to kind of put this into context here, this is fundamentally about the ability of the press to hold political leaders and people in powerit goes away? >> well, i think that there's no question that there would be a chilling effect on the press. it would be substantially riskier for journalists to report on public figures and public officials, especially those who are controversial or likely to be litigious. i think there would be more hesitance to report on controversial issues. and really we might see a return to the kind of libel warfare that i describe in the book before 1964 when politicians were sort of getting together and suing the press in an attempt to silence it and to shut it down over unpopular political positions. >> you talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits that faced companies like "the new york times" and others at that time. joan, i want to ask you about a recent case, a defamation case, we have been talking a lot about the dominion voting systems against fox news. this seems to be a perfect opportunity to take a look at some of these liable precedents. do you think that this case i
