and just watch putin's tanks roll into ukraine and sees a sovereign country. if we did stand by, putin would not have stopped. putin would have kept going and we would face an even steeper price. it was not just me. the american people understood. the american people rose to the moment. the american people did what they always have done, defend freedom around the world. they chose to stand with the people of ukraine. we had near unanimous support in congress. democrats, republicans and independents for supporting ukraine knowing full well the cost. so for all those republicans in congress criticizing me today for high gas prices in america, are you now saying we were wrong to support ukraine? are you saying we were wrong to stand up to putin? are you saying we would rather have lower gas prices in america and putin's iron fist in europe? i don't believe that. look, i get the easy politics of the attack. i get that. the simple truth is gas prices are up almost two dollars a gallon because vladimir putin's ruthless attack on ukraine and we would not let him get a

the evening slow to the end together then there is a quick you blue people glory to the nation ukraine putin right thank you may you be lucky take care of yourself and to a quick victory let the concerts from the subway return to the square and the maidan again soon let peace come over our heads sooner thank you all glory to ukraine hero m glory to ukraine, article 2 of the constitution of ukraine, the sovereignty of ukraine extends to its entire territory, the territory of ukraine within the existing border is integral and inviolable meme of the constitution of ukraine

yes , i consider the war a crime, and i am on the side of ukraine, i wish putin's russia to lose thisith maximum losses and so that ukraine is restored to its borders. чем российский верное yes, but i'm also israeli, and as far as i understand, there is no such opportunity to be simultaneously israeli and ukrainian, unfortunately, in the ukrainian legislation . " such people with large fortunes who are israeli and ukrainian citizens at the same time do not hide this, well, the last thing i would like in this life is to buy ukrainian citizenship. you know, i think. it 's the same for it's for me, as if we were a living sentence someday , when my services will be appreciated. i understand that this will cause big disputes in ukraine, i understand that the country is at war, and in berezny, we are all concerned, but i dare to believe that alexander is for ukraine against putin, and he is a serious poet, that's all i can say, and he accepts, please skins thank you i remind you that our interlocutor is not russian, an israeli entrepreneur, a public figure, one of the former heads of yukos

exception for those who enter ukraine, do you want to enter ukraine, there are no questions, sign a simple text condemning the aggression of the putinainst against against us of ukraine and then i get my biometric visa, that's how i actually understand it and it should work the same way with belarusians, well, now ukrainians have the same attitude or almost the same. look at the polls to putin and yes lukashenko. well, of course there is a certain sympathy and this sympathy is historical in the countries of belarusians , we have a language, you know, belarusian is the closest to ukrainian, there are many common mental but many physical differences, we go to the end of the maidan, the belarusians stop there and start looking around. i don’t know anyone i want to offend, well, absolutely, i was really worried when they were on the streets of belarusian cities, but nevertheless, to introduce a visa regime with belarus, well, it’s not just logical. it’s a quality, well , fair, moral, fair, if rockets are flying from the territory of belarus, planes are coming , russian military units are coming. then belarus is the same aggressor. well,

>> as prime minister johnson set a minute ago today, this was an unprovoked attack on ukraine. putin decided in this conflict, it has to be responded to by military means. once you can stop this conflict in ukraine and stop the aggression, that is time to look into what we may have done wrong, what putin may have done wrong. for now, the priority is to stop his attack in ukraine and be sure he cannot threaten nato. laura: is the u.s. and nato support for ukraine, which is massive, going to be open-ended? >> for the moment it has to be because russian forces, however slowly, are advancing. the first priority is to stop russian military conquest and i believe the u.s. and all of nato straa, zeandndansia,,a will do whatev it takes to stop them. once putin is ready to look into a negotiated settlement, i think we can open the door to compromise and discussions. that time hasn't come. laura: ambassador james jeffrey, thanks for joining us. new images from ukraine established the shopping center was hit directly by a russian cruise missile. the death toll from the strike has risen to at le

putin invaded ukraine. putin -- >> jesse: biden keeps blaming all his problems on putin. a lie. >> given how inflation has escalated over the past 18 months, would you say that the war in ukraine is the primary driver of inflation in america? >> no. inflation was high before, certainly before the war in ukraine broke out. >> jesse: so jerome just blew biden's big midterm talking point to smither reasons. so what's joe's solution gas tax holiday. even cnn isn't buying it. >> what do you think of the move? >> look, when it comes to the pocketbook of the you 18 cents is going to save them somewhere between 65 and $70 over the course of aer i don't. and we are talking three months here so you have got to cut that in four. this is not a huge savings. >> jesse: that means over the course of just three months this would save us $17. thank you. did you notice what else she said? it's all about optics. even fancy nancy and barack hussein said it's all for show. >> we're arguing over a gimmick to save you half a tank of gas. over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in

today we are talking about crimes 11 a-a about what is happening today uh putin's military in ukrainethey use chess terms it's just honestly bothersome to me because yes you're right i.e. the deterioration of putin's situation, as it were, globally and domestically, leads to increased shelling of ukrainian cities, i.e. and probably he also understands that i have another way out, and if i lose, as it were globally but this means that he, uh, stops paying attention at all to any conventions of the rules, and it’s no coincidence that the shelling is getting harder and harder and more and more people are dying, but tell me that ’s why this is what happened. so, starting from this weekend, we in ukraine, they saw a sharp increase in the number of shelling yes , the day before, the relatively calm city of kremenchug was shelled, in which it is still difficult to calculate the number of victims, and we now see that russia has already begun to release on its territory you don't know ukraine anymore. how it was before there , they were launching two or four rockets at the facility now . here

putin on the phone and he doesn’t allow him, he doesn’t allow it there, and he shouted, that is, ukrainen an agreement on the subordination of europeans union, the song of the change of power in 2014. ukraine and the european union signed an association agreement, it allows to get closer to the eu politically and economically. in 2017, the european parliament supported visa-free provision, ukrainians were able to to work and travel freely in europe, you and i, the ukrainian people and the whole of ukraine, are entering another historical era, and this event marks the final break with the russian empire . president and the chairman of the verkhovna rada sent an application for joining the eu, the european parliament supported the majority of it, and the european commission sent ukraine a questionnaire that is a test of the internal and external state of affairs in the state which kyiv filled in record time, ukraine felt the support of four powerful european states at once, in particular the support of our movement into the european union, italy, romania, france, germany, with us, of cours

, but after defeating putin, the most important thing will be the cleansing of ukraineu get another ukrainian citizenship, then this will mean corruption for everyone . yes, you understand. yes, i am talking about ukrainian citizenship . it’s not possible, for example, to ukraine, and i became a ukrainian citizen, this is the sale of ukrainian citizenship, and the first suspicion is that someone from this, who took it along the whole chain, so i’m my own. i hope i don’t take it seriously . this is some kind of pr that is actually directed against ukraine, that's all that's needed, it's necessary for them to stop helping putin, and now, without giving up on putin, they help putin and then oligarchs to oligarchs, apart from those we have named, there are oligarchs like deripaska, usmanov 's reconciliation, which is absolutely urgent with putin's regime and sanctions, not sanctions, what you won't do, yes, what they will do, not europe, yes, their biographies are already written and they have already participated in everything and participate in everything, yes, and what t

thank you for the question, where putin said that russia is not against ukraine joining the european ell, let's start with the fact that, firstly , no one is interested in his opinion on this matter at all, and secondly, he is, as always, a scumbag lying . in 2008, putin demanded from his then pro-russian president yanukovych to refuse to sign the association agreement, this is not membership in the european union, it is only an association agreement with the european union, and all forces and means were thrown to prevent ukraine from signing the association agreement. because putin is perfectly aware that as soon as ukraine becomes a member of the european union sooner or later, and it becomes a member of the european union, the next step will be a unified security system, and the unified security system is nato; moreover, for putin , ukraine's membership in the european union means only one thing that he wanted to restore the soviet union and it cannot be restored without ukraine and that is why he started military aggression and war against ukraine, this whole idea of ​​his phantas

eastern ukraine, then he will calm down and there will be peace and we will once again develop a strategic partnership. well, there is also the second part of the plan, which understands that if putind in ukraine, then he will end up in berlin and where else will he end up, as it was with the soviet troops, as it was with the troops of the russian empire, and so on, so it is better to stop him in ukraine in order to achieve victory in this russian-ukrainian war and in this way push aside russia itself as a key player and as a global threat, and these two currents, two trends , we constantly see that they compete with each other, rather , they fight when the pro-putin coalition was formed, and not only from the countries of the west of australia, other countries that also advocate democracy and international law have such civilizational values ​​are democratic, of course they united in this camp that supports ukraine pro-putin coalition from rammstein 43, this is the personification of this coalition well, accordingly, this pro-putin axis they are in every way they are trying to stop this process of providing aid to ukraine, germany, you know, not only does it not give heavy weapons

not like everything and they live happily precisely in ukraine because there is democracy here, one is glad to himself that he would write against putiny if the fsb had reached this age, you can try to fight in the east of ukraine. maybe you liked it there more than in kyiv, since you are from kyiv , now in kyiv. where are you located? yes, we will not do advertising. and it is really possible , kostiantynovych. how do you feel about closure? volodymyr zelenskyi, with the hands of his subordinates on the air of t2 tv channel espresso direct fifth, is bringing ukraine closer to the freedom of speech that is in great britain or to informational propaganda like in russia with the name single news, well, i cannot comment on single news here. it seems to me that after the war we will be able to it is to discuss whether in principle it is expedient to have such a single fist or in principle it is expedient to somehow limit other mass media, there are no exceptions here during the second world war and in america there was censorship and in britain with its huge for a long period of the struggle for freedom of speech and er there was censorsh

putin cannot think he got away with anything. if it's objective to subjugate, the ukraineed in unison. ukraine has been established as a viable european state. northern europe has been unified inside nato and the argument about whether ukraine should be part of nato has been practically resolved because there's no way of going back to that partition. in that sense, you're suggesting that it has been all but settled. no, i think if the war is ended on the line and therefore most of donbas and much of the black sea coast remains russian that in the end it will be perceived as a russian success. so i would consider that a defeat and i would think, if that happened, that the new dividing line is at the limit of the current russian advance. that would be very unfortunate. so they need to be pushed back further, in your view? they have to be pushed back to the borders that they had before. but that would be a defeat for russia. it would have been diminished in that sense. but the key in my mind would then be now a dialogue between europe, nato and russia might establish a stable

the secretary of state also assured the united states that they will continue to support ukraine . putine himself said, was the destruction of ukraine as an independent and sovereign state, these attempts failed, sovereign and independent ukraine will exist longer than putin will live, do not devalue ukraine's success on the way to the eu was called for by president volodymyr zelenskyi, and everyone says that ukraine has been granted the status of a candidate for the eu, although we have to say that ukraine has obtained the status of a candidate for the eu , the president emphasizes that this status did not fall from the sky, we have done a lot, we must not forget about it, don't be ashamed, but be proud, the president says ukraine as if it has conquered everest. today, we are focusing on what we are demanding. it is true, but does it scare us? because before that, we successfully completed hundreds. let's not forget this, not for boasting, but for the belief we will definitely overcome this path, we have overcome 7,000 m, so we are not stopping, russia is trying to create a global food

attacked ukraine, the members of the the european union was at risk of them in the west because it gave putin a pretext, and maybe partly a reason for aggression, but now that he has carried out this aggression, it is paradoxical . in most nato countries, public opinion is in favor of supporting ukraine, but not in favor of a war with russia in defense of ukraine. servants, how serious is this threat? it is about the use of tactical nuclear weapons. i believe that the threat is not very plausible, and it is not zero. i do not think that putin dared to attack nato territories with nuclear weapons, except for rhetoric. at the moment, i do not see any preparations. russia has several thousand tactical warheads, they are stored in warehouses specifically prepared for this and how we as the union usually monitor 24 hours a day and when we would see the movement of atomic warheads to the units of any aviation artillery or rockets are dogs of what? about the fact that russia is preparing for something similar, also because it is covering the nits, so it is not motherhood, but there is nothing like t

ukraine or russia for them. it is important that there is no war, so if putin stops and and ukraine will already start to regain itory, then putin will no longer be a problem for the west, ukraine, and then i am afraid that the west will be able to put pressure on ukraine with what it is . today, we depend on him in everything. and today we fight it with weapons today we fight it with cartridges for these weapons and weapons without cartridges do not shoot yes we get energy resources from the west we will receive financial resources from the west, that is, the west , using our complete dependence on it, will be able to really dictate to us where to stop yes, and try to promote the idea of ​​some sort of compromise, as they say. and by the way, until the last day, literally until today, every day, in fact, i hear from all western leaders who say on the one hand that ukraine must win, and on the other, well for example, mr. borel recently literally stated that it is necessary to introduce sanctions against russia in order to strengthen ukraine's position at the biden negotiations. also, everyone is talking about t

, but after defeating putin, the most important thing will be the cleansing of ukraineption, otherwise we have no european future. any scheme is not just what putin thinks and will support ukraine, but if you get another ukrainian citizenship, then this will mean corruption for everyone . he can't because it looks terrible, it looks terrible, he transferred money there, for example, to ukraine and became a ukrainian citizen . i hope the president's office is not serious about your president zelensky, he made such a deal, this is some kind of pr that is actually directed against ukraine, that's all that is needed, it is necessary for them to stop helping putin, and now they are helping putin and then the oligarchs without giving up on putin oligarchs, apart from those we have named, there are oligarchs like deripaska, usmanov’s patronage, which is absolutely urgent with putin’s regime and sanctions, no sanctions, you will have to do yes, what will they do, no europe, yes, their biographies have already been recorded, these people have already participated in everything a

longer range weapons to ukraine. >> it's a reminder that moscow can lash out at will on most of ukraine. putin issued that warning to the west, saying that they will hit targets and that we haven't hit before, if ukraine is provide would the longer range missiles. what sort of targets -- do you believe he's a referring to? >> i think that's really an open question. i think it if you look at what's happening right now, it seems there's an effort to try to hit the resupply by western forces, western countries weapons into ukraine. you saw that with what they claimed they hit in kyiv. we see the near constant shelling and air strikes on grain facilities. food cries that president putin blames on the with west and the west of course blames on russia. the black sea ports are still not open. the block aitd still continues. we saa strike just over the weekend in the south of ukraine in a grain silo. this is a critical issue. civilian areas continue to be shelled. it's near total. so, there's sort of a wide range of targets that they continue to hit. i think it's actually quite hard to know what they

an interesting feedback that comes from very high circles in the west precisely that until putin attacked ukraine, the member of the european union was at risk because they were in the west because it gave putin a pretext, and maybe partly a reason for aggression, but now that he has carried out this aggression, it is paradoxical . the public opinion of the majority of nato countries is for supporting ukraine but not for a war with russia in defense of ukraine. i am already afraid that we have to move within the parameters of the use of nuclear weapons that putin threatens. the threat is not very plausible, nor is it zero, i do not believe that putin dared to attack nato territories with nuclear weapons, except for rhetoric, at the moment i do not see any preparations, russia has several thousands of tactical warheads, they are stored in warehouses specifically prepared for this, and how we as the union usually monitor 24 hours a day and when we see the transfer of nuclear warheads to units of any aviation artillery or missile units - it is mentally that russia is preparing for something similar

dictator was to destroy the sovereign ukraine, and he will not be able to do this, and ukraine itself will exist longer than putincontinue to do everything so that the ukrainians repel the aggressor - said blinken, the deployment of an effective air defense system in ukraine should be enshrined in nato's strategy, defense minister oleksiy reznikov wrote about it on his facebook page, according to him, the russian missile attacks carried out from the territory of russia or belarus from the waters of the caspian and black seas are a strategic challenge for the security of the whole of europe a strategic challenge for the security of the whole of europe a long-term response equally obvious are the conditions of the dialogue on the restoration of relations with russia, the report should be the demilitarization of at least the european part of the state- the terrorist depth and parameters of militarization should be determined by specialists oleksiy reznikov defense ministers of ukraine strengthening military aid to ukraine discussed the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi with the prime minister of canada justin

well, maybe putin is not so frank about the fact that we will destroy ukraine there for 5-10 years. toestroy the entire infrastructure and kill residents to terrorize all of europe with ukrainian migrants, and yet, when we talk about the future trial of racists and started with putin, can you imagine the scale of those people who have to sit on the bench, the number of people who have to sit on the dock and answer for that war which they unleashed on our territory, you first asked the question, what is the ultimate goal, is donetsk there or something else, luhansk? well, let's remember what our soldiers found when they bombed columns that crawled from the north to kyiv there on wednesdays, among other things, they found a parade uniform in order to pass er with drums and fanfares of the baptismal font, that is, the idea was definitely er, at least at that stage er, that all ukraine was er occupied ukraine was taken over in order to install a puppet government here that will carry out everything that will be written in moscow. is this topic completely gone ? i think that this whole puti

ukraine. it was refusal of the united states and the rest of the free world to let putin get away with something we haven't seen since world war ii. i said at the time siding with ukraine during the most serious aggression in europe since world war ii, defending freedom, defending democracy, was not going to go without cost for the american people and the rest of the free world. we were going to have to pay a price, as well, in the cost of military equipment, economic assistance, humanitarian relief, and sanctioned russian banking industries. russia's also the largest -- one of the largest oil producers in the world. we cut off russian oil into the united states, and our partners in europe did the same knowing that we would see higher gas prices. we could have turned a blind eye to putin's murderous ways, and the price of gas wouldn't have spiked the way it has. i believe that would have been wrong. i believe that then -- i believed then and believe now that the free world had no choice. america could not stand by and the west could not have stood by -- although some suggested it at the time --

now we see a different vladimir putin, reckless, emotional, a gambler, a terrible bloody assault on ukrainedespite military failures and massive costs. he's even made nuclear threats. should americans be afraid? 92% do not trust putin, highest negative rating that pew has ever recorded. what is he doing? what is he thinking? finding the answers would be a matter of life and death. the story begins at the moment he first rose to power. december 31st, 1999. one minute until the 21st century begins. one minute until vladimir putin becomes president of russia. it's a moment of high drama. russia reeling over putin's sudden ascendens. >> a lot of things happened quitly. >> outside the has of the kremlin, many know nothing about him. at theal started just hours earlier. suddenly yeltsin appeared on television. boris yeltsin, the first president of democratic russia, abruptly resigned. >> a surprise announcement that yeltsin is resigning as president, turning over power to his prime minister, vladimir putin. >> it was clear yeltsin had been struggling. >> drinking he's barely being propped up, and

the volyn direction . in order to slander and not engage in e-e hostilities on the territory of ukraine, putinincline him to the fact that it must be done , therefore, in principle, whether lukashenko will surrender or not, so far it is difficult to say, for now this situation is 50 to 50 but i will repeat once again that in the coming days, in the coming weeks, the probability of an attack by the belarusians, especially by the belarusian army , is absolutely minimal. there are no reservists in belarus, and the russians do not have the forces to, er, send troops there to start this vision in principle i think that all this if and er can be considered as preparations for the er entry of the belarusian army into the territory of ukraine, from my point of view, earlier than er autumn, it is hardly worth waiting for it, although again nothing was excluded well, the commander of the forces and means of defense of kyiv, oleksandr pavlyuk, commented today on the security of the capital, stressing that it remains the priority target of ukraine for the aggressor, despite the fact that the danger of a r
