what's not to like if you're vladimir putin? "he's one of us." >> narrator: in moscow, putin denied being behind the hacking. >> everybody started to talk about russia. some questions were asked. vladimir putin clearly enjoyed himself when he was asked these questions in the beginning of september. he gave some, well, conventional answers with some wink, but that was all. >> (speaking russian) (chuckles) (translated): i don't know anything about that. you know, there are so many hackers today. and they act so delicately and precisely, then they can leave their trace in the necessary time and place or even someone else's trace. >> there's always plausible deniability built into the system. so a lot of the hackers that are working for the russian government, they're not necessarily wearing, you know, epaulets and uniforms. they're not necessarily sitting in g.r.u. bunkers in moscow or somewhere in russia. a lot of them are freelancers. >> (speaking russian) (translated): does it even matter who hacked this data from the campaign he

when it comes to vladimir putin. two days before, vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. when he publicly obtained encouragement and the authorization for an invasion in a truly foolish procedure that was televised, donald trump said, quote, there was a television screen, and i said, this is genius. putin declares a big portion of ukraine, of ukraine. putin declares it as independent. oh, that's wonderful. so putin is now saying, it's independent, a large section of ukraine. i said, how smart is that? it is the next day, in response to criticism of the putin genius comment, donald trump said this -- >> trump said, putin is smart! i mean he's taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. i'd say that's pretty smart. he's taking over a country, literally a vast, vast location. a great piece of land with a lot of people and just walking right in. >> today, vladimir putin admitted that the sanctions are hurting russia saying, quote, the most urgent problem here is the disruption of export logistics but donald trump thought that it was worth $2 worth of sanctions, it was $2

if we'd only give up, mister browder, vladimir putin said this in, in response. let's hear what president trump said. president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial to day and what he did is it incredible offer. he offered to have the people working on the case, come and work with their investigators with respect to the 12 people. i think that's an incredible off bill. browder did the president of the united states just offer to trade you in because of the magnus, because of these issues to the president of russia. that is as simple as that. i mean, i was, i normally live in london, but i was in the u. s. at the time and, and i started getting my phone, started lighting up with messages from all sorts of people saying, you gotta watch this thing. i was, i hadn't been watching it and i, i turn on the recording and, and indeed, so this was the summit in helsinki was taking place just after robert molar had indicted 12, russian, g r u officers were hacking the 2016 election. and so the question to put in was, are you going to have these guys over and

ukrainian president florida mayor zelenskyy has a very important prisoner of war who he has told vladimir putinr the return of ukrainian boys and girls have been kidnapped. this is victor mudd vet chuck, a pro putin politician in ukraine. he was recaptured by ukraine's security service today after escaping house arrest for treason at the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. the new york times reports, his arrest will be a significant blow to president putin of russia who is reported to be the godfather medvedchuk to water's and one of the closest -- some experts have speculated that if putin had plans to install a puppet leader after toppling ukraine's government, medvedchuk would be on the shortlist. well over carole of the economist tweeted a picture of the handcuffed putin puppet saying, quote, i think i know who the audience for this photo is meant to be. and surely, vladimir putin has by now seen that photograph of his puppet in handcuffs. in a new video released tonight, president zelenskyy said that mr. medvedchuk was captured after hiding for 48 days and attempting to escape uk

shannon: and whether think the vladimir putin said provocative and accuse ukraine having attention toto and he said that was provocative in nature and excess for them to completely take that off of the table and they both even consider pursuing nato membership anymore and they're asked president volodymyr zelensky about that in here is their exchange. >> shorter nato, and short of article five protection, you are saying that a group of nations provided security guarantees, has president biden offered in the u.s. is one of those ccountries that. >> is hard for us to talk about nato because they don't want to admit it i think it is a mistake because if they join nato we would make that much stronger we another week state. shannon: now is that off of the table right now that i did nato membership for ukraine. >> yeah i think were the most part, the signals that we have seen from ukraine and from the volodymyr zelensky government suggests that they are willing to cease neutrality and say listen we won't join nato if the proper security is guaranteed and so that i didn't think that is the

even tulsi gabbard has finally been forced to turn into vladimir putin, because i don't have seen. e tweeted, president putin not only is your brutal attack on ukraine or principle, it has been a huge political air which is already cost russia dearly. those costs will get higher every day remain in ukraine. so it is the best interest for their-ish and people on the people of ukraine that you pull your forces out now. e everyone has seen it. donald trump has seen it. donald trump has seen those pictures of those bodies. on donald trump has not said one word about it. donald trump, who last week issued a written public statement claiming that he got a hole in one on a golf course -y, has not dared to issue a statement of one word against vladimir putin. vladimir putin was and in the virtual writer and a mouth murderer before he invaded ukraine. we all knew that about vladimir putin. and they're getting an invasion, all trump called vladimir putin a genius. and he called invasion of ukraine and act of genius by a genius. and 40 days later, donald trump still can't find a single thing t

much younger than vladimir putin. she was not targeted in today's sanctions issued by the united states. one unnamed intelligence official was quoted today telling nbc news that some of what the american government is doing is designed to get inside putin's head. 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

no doubt, said vladimir putin answering a question from journalists.gucci well listen, i still talk to colleagues from western countries often. and when they tell me, butch, i ask, are you in have you ever seen rake as a syrian city? it was completely destroyed under, uh, about the very ground, from above by american aircraft, and there, indeed, the corpses of the collapsed ones lay for months and decomposed, no one was there. before that, no one even noticed. just like no one remembers. uh, hundreds of civilians killed in afghanistan, when hundreds and more than a hundred people were killed with one blow at weddings, there was silence, when they staged provocations in syria, when they portrayed, uh, uh, application chemical weapons, uh, assad's government, then it turned out that this is a fake? the same fake in gucci and alexander grigoryevich gave me documents today, even documents. so he casually mentioned that they were transferred to the federal security service of russia as who they have the appropriate intercepts on what transport he came to th

vladimir putin is a man who only understands strength.he one thing he respects. >> what needs to be done? because, you know, you talk to ukrainian officials, they say sanction all russian financial institutions, embargo all russian energy. >> that's correct. every day that goes by, the aour means, for the most part, send russia, vladimir putin a billion dollars in the form of payments for oil and gas. just think about this. the war in ukraine cost a billion dollars a day. and every day the europeans send vladimir putin a billion dollars. it's pretty much break even for him. we sanctioned s.w.i.f.t., oligarchs. but that's all for naught if we send him a billion dollars a day to pay for his oil. to get this right, we need to stop giving him money totally. we're a long way away from that. this is pretty much on the backs of the europeans right now. they need to stop, particularly germany, italy, austria need to stop buying russian oil and gas. it's not easy. it will hurt their economies. but it will hurt a lot more if this explodes into some

russian president vladimir putin.— been meeting the russian president vladimir putin. came to moscow as a messenger — vladimir putin. i came to moscow as a messenger of— vladimir putin. i came to moscow as a messenger of peace. _ vladimir putin. i came to moscow as a messenger of peace. my _ vladimir putin. i came to moscow as| a messenger of peace. my objectives and my agenda is strictly linked to saving lives and reducing suffering. tonight, we report from a village on one of the full lines of the war close to the border between ukraine, russia and belarus. also on tonight programme, the former radio i russia and belarus. also on tonight programme, the former radioi dj facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. seven women have accused tim westwood of predatory and unwanted sexual behaviour, abusing his position in the music business. he denies the allegations. he kept putting his hand on my leg and stroking my leg and touching my face. running his hands in my hair, like, what are you doing? like, stop touching me. yet more trouble for p&0. european causeway f

and so many others since then on whether he was going to condemn vladimir putin for killing politicians and journalists in russia. and of course your question on helsinki, there is a through line there, this man will not criticize putin. >> it was a two-part question in helsinki that i posed to the then president. one is who he believed, and he sided with putin. the other part with the world watching, the highly anticipated summit, would he warn putin to never do this again, never interfere with american elections again, and he chose not to do that either. that moment in helsinki came just a few days after we were with him in nato at brussels, when he almost blew up that alliance and pulled the united states out of it. there have been time where is it seemed like he was reciting kremlin talking points about nato. it serves to recap once more the circumstances of this invasion and trump's -- how he is linked to it, that his first impeachment trial was because he tried to extort ukraine to investigate joe biden and his family and threaten to withhold the javelin, the very javelin missiles

talking about the fact that vladimir putin ordered l fact that vladimir putin ordered that a _ fact thatthat a missile carrying about a dozen warheads which could strike anywhere — dozen warheads which could strike anywhere in the world and that people — anywhere in the world and that people are trying to work out whether— people are trying to work out whether this isjust a rather drastic— whether this isjust a rather drastic example of sabre rattling or literally— drastic example of sabre rattling or literally missile launching or whether, as people in washington are beginning _ whether, as people in washington are beginning to see, it's more a sign of putih's— beginning to see, it's more a sign of putin's desperation. people, i think. _ of putin's desperation. people, i think. are — of putin's desperation. people, i think, are of two minds about this. an impressive piece of military kit and it— an impressive piece of military kit and it could disrupt ten cities at a time, _ and it could disrupt ten cities at a time, it— and it could disrupt ten cities at a time, it has— and it could di

and other nations to be guarntors if there's any ceasefire agreement with vladimir putin. antee putin's not invading again, that you have to have boots on the ground, more engagement than right now, which is exactly what -- >> it could suggest that in the long term. i think that's purely hypothatical. i've not seen any evidence that he's negotiating in good faith. that does not mean we don't try. president zelenskyy has an obligation to do that for his people. i see no indication that vladimir putin is going to do anything other than continue to commit war crimes and kill innocent civilians and devastate ukrainian cities. we operate under the assumption nothing is going to change. at the same time, if there is a breakthrough in the months ahead, and there is a peace agreement, i think the united states will have to serve a very important role and serving as a guarantor. >> and do you think vladimir putin will ever be held accountable? >> i think nobody knows that. there's various forms of account lkt. russian people are the ones who will have to hold vladimir putin accounta

what is driving vladimir putin? i would say emotions, i would say that what is driving him is a kind of recent mall. he has attempt to be to appear more western in the very beginning of his career. then he became um, perhaps full of resentment because he decided it's not a good way to go in russia. it's a it's a completely different idea. and what he is driven by is also i do believe that the goal to destroy ukraine just destroy it. because it has said no, the ukrainians said no, they didn't want to become a part of russia. thus, this is a war which has a goal of destroying ukraine completely. and this is not just that this is not just about the military situation, this is about the personal clash between president zelensky and putin, who who has the upper hand there at the moment or could describe the interaction for severe, i think right now in the west, there is it's hard to find a figure that's more moral and more righteous than uh vladimir zelensky. i mean, he is really he and his people have carried effectivel

not vladimir putin.hey used it to apply to nancy pelosi, to the peeker of the house of representatives because they disagree with some interpretations of the rules of the house. well, this is a serious moment for people who are serious about democracy in the new century. if allowed to continue, vladimir putin will spread his rampage beyond ukraine into neighboring countries in eastern europe. and then other authoritarian and autocratic leaders around the world will decide they will be able to do to their neighbors what vladimir putin was allowed to do to his neighbor. this legislation is named after what president roosevelt made happen during world war ii. the lend-lease program that without declaring war, america would come to the aid of its allies by lending and leasing military equipment. to our allies in order to secure the democratic world. and that's where we are again. so we need to stream line all of the red tape. we need to expedite the delivery of equipment to our allies in ukraine. and i hope

a little later, a meeting with vladimir putin is also scheduled. sergey lavrov at a press conference following negotiations with guterish said that any foreign weapon, as soon as it appears on ukrainian territory , immediately becomes a legitimate target for russian troops. we see them, i spoke about this in detail today, to our colleague and friend antonio guterras. we see that to a large extent this situation has accumulated a and e, a decisive decisive context. well, of course, this happened as a result of the course taken by our american colleagues and their allies for the unlimited expansion of nato and the establishment of a unipolar world. we watch it, just point the smartphone camera at the qr-code and download the application. that's all you need. now we watch all the news with video live broadcast of all tv channels and the largest collection of movies, tv shows, programs in your hands in the application or on the website for free without registration. vladimir putin conferred the title of zelimkhanov, deputy of the state duma on the chec

and it seems like a relevant time to remind you that marie le pen has long admired vladimir putin. ey are running for president in 2017, she said that her own policies were represented by president trump and putin. despite the ongoing war in ukraine, the pen, if elected, would like to reduce payments and legal deference to the european union. and two and francis senior relationship with nato. last time that happened in france was 1966. and it took until 2009 for france to regain its senior leadership in nato. looking at this from afar, it might seem like the idea of a le pen presidency is simply unheard of. and a far cry from reality based on recent french history. however, as americans who lived through the 2016 election, we know that unheard of can very quickly, in a day, become reality. coming up next, russia has rejected requests for a truce in ukraine for this holy day. it is orthodox easter today. we are bringing you a live report from lviv. rt from lviv en you and a life-changing accident. but are these lines enough? a subaru with eyesight... (kid vo) hey dad! (vo) ...watches

vladimir putin went back to blagoveshchensk.esident continued to discuss promising projects of roscosmos with the head of the state corporation, dmitry rogozin, and then held a meeting with the governor of the amur region, vasily orlov, to talk about the socio-economic development of the region. orlov reported to the president on measures to support producers of gasification of settlements , as well as liquidation of the consequences of floods gennady kosilyev. soviet svetlana barkova denis channel one, amur region journalist - one of the most dangerous professions on the front line in the war zone, especially several groups of the first channel work in ukraine at once and report. as the special operation is going on, the war is not a woman’s face, but among our colleagues, there are also girls, correspondent irina kuksenkova, with a cameraman and sound engineer, came under fire from the ukrainian security forces at the moment when our colleagues were preparing another report. ira was wounded cameraman dmitry kachurin and sound

i been meeting the russian president vladimir putin.— been meeting the russian president vladimir putineace. my _ vladimir putin. i came to moscow as| a messenger of peace. my objectives and my agenda is strictly linked to saving lives and reducing suffering. tonight, we report from a village on one of the full lines of the war close to the border between ukraine, russia and belarus. also on tonight programme, the former radio 1 russia and belarus. also on tonight programme, the former radio1 dj facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

people that are just this side of the complete lackeys for vladimir putin would say, oh, this proves what americans have wants to do all along. somehow trying to blame. jonathan shea had a great article yesterday in "new york" magazine saying these with putin on the far, far right and far, far left of american politics are trying to blame america. saying here's what america wanted all along. blaming us for vladimir putin, but going in and destroying a large swath of ukraine. i don't think lloyd austin is listening to that. some very strong defining language about where america and the west is right now. and we're not simply satisfied in helping keeping that government afloat. he wants to drive russian tanks out of -- out of occupied ukraine. >> yeah, much more muscular stance officially now from the department of defense and secretary of state blinken as well on his trip to kyiv when he came out, and they were talking about weakening the capacity of russia town flick this kind of pain on another neighbor. to inflict further pain upon ukraine. and you had secretary austin yesterday now

why you can't support vladimir putin can't say that anymore. u can -- if you can give putin the donbas. if there's a, quote, neutrality that allows ukraine to go into the eu but obviously the united states and napt owe will be supplying them with weapons and training to make sure they can defend themselves in the future, then putin understands if there's a he is situation of the bombing, if the attacking of civilians, then we lift sanctions. how does that look? we will lift a certain sanction if you do this. we will lift another sanction if you do that, where there's incentives for the sanctions to be lifted? >> look, as crazy as it sounds that's the optimistic course. what you just laid out, there's a deal and almost an inner circle of agreements about the disposition of ukraine -- >> i think it is the only way forward. >> okay. then you have the disposition of russia. just imagine the conversation about any easing of sanctions. do you have to ease sanctions to give russia the money to pay reparations? what about war crimes? i'm just saying it

putin i think. but i don't really think that vladimir zelensky�*s pleas are going to really work for putin at all because side already said that the ukrainian side has been withdrawing from negotiations, changing its position. so the fact that zelensky now says that there will be no negotiations if soldiers are mariupol will get killed, probably for putin is not is not a surprise. it is possible that mariupol will fall and it is possible by may, by may 9th. i'm sure you know there is a victory date world war ii victory day on may 9th. so there is rumours back and forth that putin would like to stop the war or at least declare some sort of victory by then. so it is possible that with the taking of mariupol, that could be one of those prizes and sort of a declaration for at least the completion of this stage of the war. but once again, i think putin knows only what putin knows. we don't know. even those who are expected horrible things from putin like me and a lot of others, i am still completelyjust stunned by the brutality that's being exerted on ukraine altogether. and it does seem that at the beginning

and uk officials on vladimir putin. play for you what the white house communications director, kate benny field had to say. listen. >> we have information that putin felt misled by the russian military, which has resulted in persistent tension between putin and his military leadership. we believe that putin is being miss and foreign by his advisers, about how badly the russian military is performing, and how the russian economy is being crippled by sanctions, because his senior advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth. >> can you shed some light on what this strategy here is? why are they releasing this kind of intelligence, publicly? they were very effective in the lead up to the war, with russia's plans. is this also in that same light? >> well, i think first off, it is important to just get information out, because very little information is getting to the russian people, is even getting to vladimir putin, as she says. so putting these things out in a very public way for the united states gives them a better cha

shock to the system for him asllch auallt out what is he going to do next. >> brennan: why is vladimir putinrned with the donbas region, the eastern region? >> this is the place he first got a grip on in 2014, after annexing crimea. we know in 2014, the russian government, putin in particularly, had bigger ambitions. he talked about this region of novarasia, which extends through the port cities that we've seen completely devastated, mariupol, for example, to some of the other cities they've seized, and all the way down to odessa, where we're getting reports they are starting to shell and fighting. this was seized by the russian empire under captain the great. and putin has talked about it repeatedly. along the black sea, across the crimea peninsula, extending to donbas, seems to be the area he is wanting to make sure he has a hold of no matter what. >> brennan: i want to put up a map here because we keep hearing that much of the world is taking a side in this conflict against russia, but, actually, it is really just europe and the americas. it's the west, japan. is the world actually really

there is no predicting where vladimir putin will go. you know, there won't be a quick peace. i've said this on before. there won't be a quick peace here it is in putin's interest to keep the rest of the world guessing. and quite frankly, the only way that putin can understand the dire threat that he is under is if he recognizes that the united states and other countries are taking this seriously and that does include calling what's happening in ukraine a . so i absolutely think that we are probably not ascribing to putin enough enough concern that he is going to do whatever it takes to escape and evade. and at this point it's our responsibility to hold him to justice into account means the peace talks go on . but what do you think, loni? is there a diplomatic road out of this ? well, it's going to be complicated one , because whatever ukraine agrees to is going to have to go through public referendum in ukraine. so vladimir putin is going to have that as an out apparently and i think from putin's perspective it's going to be very, very difficult for him to accede to giving ukr

nato secretary-general says weeks of battlefield losses have not -- have not -- changed vladimir putin'sculus. >> we have seen no indication president putin has changed his ambition to control the whole of ukraine but at the same time we have to be realistic and realize this may last for a long time, for many months or even years. >> to brussels and nic robertson. nic, with that assessment, perhaps months, perhaps even years, as the nato foreign ministers meet, are they prepared to increase military aid, for example? >> reporter: they're looking at what it will take to sustain the ukrainian army over the longer term. they are focusing on new things to that extent. old things like the javelin anti-tank missiles that were so successful in so many places they will continue supplying those and deny russia the use of airspace. russia is only able to target fixed installations. it's not able to target dynamic moving ukrainian targets on the ground. that's what they're seeing at the moment. they need to make that protective umbrella stronger without putting their own planes, their own troops in

would only give vladimir putin time to consolidate. and rearm for next time, is there pressure from zelenskyy to do that to wrap it up. >> i think there is pressure, challenge will be whatever agreement is reached, president zelenskyy already indicated needs to go to the people of ukraine in the form of a referendum. unlikely to me that public opinion in ukraine, zelenskyy is popular, anything he advocates for likely could get past a referendum, that said it is unlikely that you will see for example the people of ukraine want anything but to push russia back to continue to regain and recapture sovereign territory. and unlikely on flip side that russia and vladimir putin all aseed to any ground orland go, orland going to ukraine that would decrease the sovereign land in russia. you have both sides trying to take positions that i think come to a head, that is why an easy piece would peace is highly unlikely. shannon: one thing that putin said was accused ukraine of being contentious, was idea this would want to join nato, he said that wa

a desperate vladimir putin, an unpredictable vladimir putin, one that feels threatened by the west isonally or not, escalate this military situation into something that nato does not want. you do not want him to feel like the west wants him removed from power, because a person who is desperate to hang onto power can do things that are dangerous. i think there is also a concern when you look at the united states, particularly, calling for regime change in russia, is that that is actually counter—productive. the people who may be organising to protest against vladimir putin do not want to be labelled as american patsies, they do not want to be seen as pawns for the american government, so i think in the state department, in particular, if you ask those folks, they would prefer that the united states just let things run its course. it is hard to see, isn't it, any way out of this war that does not end up with russia taking a larger slice of ukraine even than it has already got? can the united states live with that? you have got to remember, a lot of people in the biden administration wer

trump's inability or refusal to call out vladimir putin. fusal to call out vladimir putin.pression can leave you down and in the dark. but what if you could begin to see the signs of hope all around you? what if you could let in the lyte? discover caplyta. caplyta is a once-daily pill, proven to deliver significant relief from bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and bipolar ii depression. and, in clinical trials, feelings of inner restlessness and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. antidepressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, which may be life-threatening, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. these aren't all the serious side effects. in the darkness of bipolar i and ii depression, caplyta can help you let in the lyte. ask your doctor about caplyta,

so what can the world actually do to hold vladimir putin accountable?ning me is a professor of law at yale law school and the founder and director for the center for global legal challenges. professor hathaway, thank you for being with us. is there any way to actually charge vladimir putin or anyone else in the russian chain of command with war crimes? >> yes, probably the main way forward here, the moment, is through the international criminal courts. so as you mentioned the international criminal court does have jurisdiction here. and that is because ukraine has jurisdiction starting in 2013 over the events that are happening in ukraine and still has jurisdiction today. and in fact, the prosecutor of the international criminal court has begun investigations supported by referrals from 41 countries, that have basically said they will support the effort and many offering additional money and support and assistance for that investigation. so those investigations have already begun. and there's a number of steps here. there has to be evidence collection.

president biden had said, and i quote here, for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power, meaning vladimir putine's since dialed it back and the u.s. doesn't have a policy of recommending a regime change. you commended his words at the time saying when president biden says that putin is evil, i think that's a very correct statement, that compromise with russia is impossible. when you've cited what he was saying about a possible regime change, that vladimir putin must go, do you still stand by that? and do you still think that for there to be peace in the region, no matter what happens in ukraine, and hopefully things are resolved and soon, that vladimir putin should be gone, that he should leave? that he should be either forced out or even killed? >> so, yes, you know, putin is so to say, the result of certain policies that existed in, you know, in russia within the last 10, 15 years and now, you know, the main problem in europe is putin and it's, you know, the personification of evil. so when biden made that statement, i completely agreed with the first unedited version of it because he needs t

there's no off ramp for vladimir putin, this is his war. the irony of it is, vladimir putin's fate is intertwined with ukraine's. if ukraine stays in to fight and wins, we hope, that will have an impact on vladimir putin's future. >> neil: let's get a sense of how europe has responded to this. there's distinctions whether those are war crimes versus gen site. our president said they're war crimes. didn't take the next step to genocide. other european leaders have. regardless, i'd be curious of what you make of the fact that from germany to france, to italy, there's a call to sever all of those natural gas and oil shipments now. don't wait. austria says let's not do something crazy here that hurts us. by and large, they have pushed for ending all of these shipments like now. how likely is there and what happens? russia always seems to find a way around them. >> so this is challenging from an economic standpoint. europe has -- has to import gas and oil from somewhere and they didn't plan for this years ago. vladimir putin has been the same kg

~ ., , , ., vladimir putin? i think for russia, clearly success _ vladimir putin?ly success has _ vladimir putin? i think for russia, clearly success has been - vladimir putin? i think for russia, | clearly success has been redefined almost every day. the invasion was premised on a quick assault on the capital, removal of the zelinsky government and the installation of a puppet regime. that didn't work, so focus shifted to the donbas, extending areas held by pro—russian separatist and east and securing the land corridorfrom separatist and east and securing the land corridor from the separatist and east and securing the land corridorfrom the donbas to crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. that is why mariupol is so important. you still get glimpses of wider ambitions. we had a russian generaljust today wider ambitions. we had a russian general just today talking about seizing all of southern ukraine, creating an even longer corridor to another pro—russian separatist area, transnistria, in moldova. that would involve completely cutting ukraine off from the black sea.

instead he once again blamed vladimir putin. >> we saw today's inflation, 70% of the increase in pricesmarch came putin's price hike and gasoline. we need to address this with demand. kennedy: my god. we'll have more on the blame game in a bit. in early december, that presidents had inflation was just about to get under control, guys. >> i think you will see a change sooner, then quicker than, more rapidly than most people think every other aspect in the economy is racing ahead, doing incredibly well. kennedy: sooner then quicker than more rapidly than something. what happens? how can we address spending to better stretch collective family dollar? fox news on jupiter and professor of business and economic king's college in manhattan, brian, finally we got some brian. none of this is good news. i know the white house trying to spin it, i don't know if people are going to believe that when they are paying more for stuff than they ever have and the cost of living is not beating the inflation. >> that lady can't get the roast, she's not eating roast because of the price increases, what's th

to the be the president, she said vladimir putin. this is america, vladimir putin is butchering and killing these innocent children and women. they are killing people over in ukraine and you want him to be the president of america. america, this is outlandish. you need to look in the mirror at yourself if you want vladimir putin to be the president of america over joe biden. host: gwen, we are going to have to leave it there. nice to hear your voice. thank you for calling. a tweet from frank from new jersey a couple of days ago. tested positive for covid on april 6. thankfully i am vaccinated and double boosted. my symptoms are mild. please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already, to protect you and your family. next call. comes from mike in new york city and independent line. mike, good morning. caller: 50 the invasion issue. immigration must be an american, state-by-state issue. at the end of the day, there are certain states where -- host: mike, do you live in fear of being an illegal immigrant? caller: very much so. imm

you live, the more education you have, the richer you are, the more likely you do not watch vladimir putin's propaganda. there is a reason that putin arrested him before this war. we did not know it at the time and now we know it. there is a reason she closed the leading independent television station. there is a reason he closed down and and twitter. those are all the sources where the second demographic gets their information. if they were doing well in the war, he would not be shutting them down. we should help to nurture those sprouts that might spark to inside russia. for those that are forced into exile, give them support for the time they will be there. putin overreached. he will probably be in power for as long as he is able. it will be very hard for them to designate a putin 2.0. i think that will be a hard argument. i am more optimistic today about how the putin regime might wind down faster than i was before the war. >> thank you both. i want to turn to audience questions. we have our first question from a student here at big sky high school. go ahead. >> thank you. my name is ann

what is vladimir putin being told? you know, he has any number of people from his intelligence services under house arrests it's apparent there is friction between putin and his intelligence community as well as his ministry of defense, and so the question is at the end of the day, what is the information that putin is getting, and the problem is, if he's relying on russian state television, who are playing tucker carlson, and trump's statements on seemingly an endless loop, is putin getting accurate information about what the united states believes and what the united states is willing to do. and that question implies a certain amount of instability in the way putin may be making his strategic decisions. >> let's talk about the 7-hour gap in the white house call logs on january 6th. there's now talk about a burner phone because we know from other testimony and from other public statements at the time that donald trump was making calls during that time period. how are you interpreting this news? >> well, i think there's

your op-ed for the "new york times" is fascinating because it examines conspiracy theories that vladimir putina, but that putin didn't himself, didn't really seem to embrace or promote. that was left to others. but now you write, conspiratorial thinking has taken complete hold of the country from top to bottom, now seems to be the motivating force behind the kremlin's decisions. and mr. putin, who previously kept his distance from conspiracy theories, leaving their circulation to state media and second rate politicians, is their chief promoter. can you just talk about these conspiracy theories which really center on the west and russia as a victim of the west? >> yeah. well, it all start in the 2000s. first of all the failure to secure the victory in ukraine in 2004 and 2005. that's the start of kremlin's conspiracy theories. they spread to the framing of the russian opposition as the main enemy and the main ally of the west, of the u.s., first and foremost. and that tracks towards lgbtq community that is portrayed as the dangerous that brainwashes the kids. and we know all this anti-lgbt rhet

eric: what do you think should happen to vladimir putin? >> it should be criminal. be contracted. -- prosecuted. this should be international courts. it's a terrible war crime. it's a genocide. it is putin and his generals and everybody who were, you know, in the russian army, they should be prosecuted for these war crimes, for these crimes against humanity that they have done. if i cannot imagine any negotiations with such people. eric: do you consider vladimir putin a war criminal? >> of course. i mean, it's obvious. it's obvious he is a terrorist, he is a war criminal, and he needs to be prosecuted. he needs to be stopped right nowment and -- now. look, we know what's happened in bucha right now. do you remember mariupol? and that there are still about 200,000 people who stay over there hiding in the basement under the heavy shelling. now you imagine what will happen to those people if mariupol gives up and if these people fall into hands of russians. just imagine these crimes that can happen over there. they should not happen. they should be stopped. i mean, ukra
