sanctioning vladimir putin's daughters, of whom he is so paranoid he refuses to even acknowledge their very existence is one way to get inside vladimir putin's head. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov was caught up in the first ring of sanctions issued by the united states and one might sound like a redundant set of sanctions, his wife and daughter were sanction today. now you will recall that a month ago a person who some reported to be sergei lavrov's wife and daughter were sanctioned. i clarified at the time that they were not actually his wife or daughter. the woman sanctioned then was a woman who has in effect replaced his real wife -- his real wife and his life without him actually marrying her. it was her daughter who had become an instagram star in london at sergei lavrov's expense, at the russian peoples expense through all of the money stolen by lavrov. that is who was sanctioned them. the family values of the corrupt sociopathic billionaires at the top of the russian government, vladimir putin and sergeant lavrov, are truly trumpian family values. additional sanctions were issued today against russian banks in a new video tonight, president zelenskyy said, it is great th

sergei lavrov. after that, he will be received by vladimir putin, the kremlin told alexander khristenko, yulia shchedrova is ready at any time to maintain a silence regime to announce a humanitarian pause for the surrender of the military personnel of the armed forces of ukraine and nationalist militants stationed at azov steel , the ministry of defense announced this today, and the department spoke about the latest results of the special operation, including abudari missiles with a caliber at the railway station meliorativnaya where the battalion of the armed forces with weapons and armored vehicles was practically destroyed, important targets were hit during this day and in other areas with the latest reports of hostilities yevgeny reshetnev. the regime of silence in mariupol is declared daily, the russian military give a chance to lay down their arms and leave any paramilitary formation that is in the azov steel catacombs. and of course, a humanitarian corridor is provided to civilians, if there really are any at the plant. rovykh to those who remain at the plant, messages reach through loud speakers

they don't like vladimir putin sitting down with people in front of cameras and to think that joe biden could meet virtually with vladimir putin seems like a long shot. lisa: sergey lavrov talking about how it looks more it doesn't seem like that's the case on the administration side. how can we interpret that but also the comments about the nuclear threat coming out of the kremlin? joe: you can interpret that as a successful visit with secretary blinken. russia knows it's not going terribly well. they say it might become a nuclear conflict just to poke officials. the fact of the matter is, vladimir putin himself is -- reached a dead-end weeks ago. mr. lavrov might be having a conversation with himself right now. jonathan: the ultimate boomer stock, ge. tom: it's a jumble. the stereo type is that this is a boomer stock is a massive restructuring. that got a $3 billion buyback offer. what i want to know is what they are doing with aviation. i think that is the silver chalice. they say demand remains strong. jonathan: monitoring china and the aviation business is managing china and covid. lisa: it's a huge question because china was a huge source of demand for a lot of ai

antonio buterish arrived in moscow and later vladimir putin will receive him, as sergei lavrov said russia

will be implementing sanctions on vladimir putin's adult daughters as well as family members of foreign minister sergey lavrov. what is noteworthy about this and a senior administration official says there is the possibility that russian president vladimir putin has been hiding some of his wealth, his assets, with his daughters. they are trying to target that. additionally today a senior administration official also said these sanctions are not necessarily permanent, that russia could reverse course and that could reverse some of the sanctions. everything we have seen coming from russia does not indicate that these sanctions have impacted their thinking. putin has still been moving forward with this war waging even more and more brutal campaigns. president biden saying they will continue the assistance into ukraine as they try to help the fighters try to defend themselves. >> nic robertson is in brussels. >> reporter: some of those are in lock step with the united states, the high technology items president biden was talking about there, marking $10.9 billion of high-tech exports to russia off limits now. rar

sergey lavrov handed over the personal message of the president of russia vladimir putin to rendry fashionre that, two-hour negotiations india respects mutual interests in russia with indian colleague minister of foreign affairs jaishankar suburmanyan, and indeed the whole circle of issues was discussed today. truth. contrary to expectations, sergey lavrov did not disclose the details of the negotiations regarding the introduction of a new system, payments in bilateral trade and the transition to settlements in national currencies . uh, the indian shifts said, and perhaps the most unexpected thing that sergey lavrov said today is that moscow does not exclude the possibility of india's participation in negotiations not only with the west. e, but from ukraine there was even such a version that in the render mode he could theoretically act as an intermediary in the negotiations. russia and the president of ukraine, the positions of india, which are not influenced by the methods of blackmail or blackmail and diktat, of course, inspire our respect. the west simply ignored these commitments and

you heard questions asking about vladimir putin's daughters and also sergey lavrov's daughters that have now been sanctioned as part of the most recent round. what is your reaction to that and just overall, in terms of how this is being handled at this point by the white house. >> look, i think the white house is doing all the easy stuff. they're doing the stuff that everybody else is doing. the things that would be inexcusable if you didn't do. they're not insignificant. they make things uncomfortable. this is still -- people say, well, it's an economy the size of texas. that is a pretty big economy. putin has the ability to move resources around to do the things that he wants to do. so it's a tool, but it's not going to change the outcome of the war. likewise senting resources to the ukrainians that is allowing them to fight. again, that's the easy thing to do. who would stop doing that? the big issues, the really big questions that will make a difference in the future, which are about how do we deter putin from attacking other people, how do we get out from the energy blackmail exploi
