a revealing process came from the kremlin today when the spokesman for vladimir putin was asked what vladimir putin's reaction was to president biden's recent remarks. he said i'm sorry. didn't even watch them. he was busy in a working meeting. there have been comments from the former president of russia and the russian prime minister in response to the german sanctions which have been particularly stinging, the suspension of the nord stream 2 gas pipeline from russia to germany that would individual dramatically increased the amount of natural gas russia exports to the european union. that now has been suspended and the approval on that by the german government, a tough issue implemented by them. the close putin ally tweeting out welcome to a brave new world where europeans are paying thousands of dollars for their gas. there is already a gas shortage in the european union that led to a massive spike in prices and this is just, you know, a reminder from the powerful russian official that sanctions when it comes to russia can cut both ways. look, the russians have had sanctions upon sanctions

quite clearly calling out vladimir putin saying that in rasa to tolerance, democracy would in the end prevail. and there's a market differentiation between rossa and vladimir putin here and more. the sanctions are targeted against vladimir putin. this is seen as vladimir putin's will, and not russ's war with an appeal to the russian people and to actually stand in for peace speaking. you mentioned anglo miracle cd you, they are now of course the opposition. what were the reactions from the opposition to this shift and to specifically this speech lashley quite a bit of it is something that is and now lead a fleet h mats stood in for in the past. had he offered support and broad support. he said he was willing to carry this. ed will also be a joint resolution pos today by the german parliament across the board. not including the deaf party, but at this is the broadest possible coalition. going beyond the government parties here in germany, parliament. and there's just one small cabinet and that is on the spending that would mean a 100000000000 and new debt. there will be some pushback from the conservatives, but overall, a paradigm shift here in germany, a c

and he opened with a bit of a jab at vladimir putin. vladimir putin gave a long speech he referenced lennon, he referenced all in, it was only towards the end that he said that he was gonna recognize these two breakaway provinces. he said it's late, we don't have time for history lessons we're gonna talk about the future. so immediately the tone was one of defiance. he said that they are gonna call on all the allies around basically a diplomatic calls. he hoped that the nations that were friendly to ukraine would stay with ukraine. so, that's the latest that's happened now. here in the city and other parts of the country there is calm. there's talk that it would be start of a major invasion but instead it seems that we're seeing a more phased approach with putin laying the groundwork for potentially further advancements to come. but the situation here in this city, another major cities is just one of calm that people want to bring. they're wondering what comes next, ali? >> it's a phased approach versus the world waiting for a massive invasion w

and he cozied up to vladimir putin. vladimir evil empire. ronald reagan would not recognize the party right now, the republican party that has followed trump increasingly into a warm relationship with vladimir putin so that they're more interested in criticizing joe biden than they are in standing up to vladimir putin. >> yeah, i was at that trump/putin summit when trump clearly sided with putin and didn't side with his own u.s. intelligence community, including dan coats, who was the head of the intelligence community. it was a very embarrassing moment indeed. abby, democrats are now more likely than republicans to see russia as america's greatest enemy. have the two parties actually done a sort of political flip-flop on russia? >> i think to some extent, they have. you know, democrats are particularly soured on russia because of putin's role in the 2016 election. many democrats blamed putin for trump being president frankly. and trump's coziness with putin is one of the main reasons why some republicans, though not all, some r

and of course, the ukranian see this as one small victory already for vladimir putin that many people say vladimir putin is targeting ukraine because he's very upset about the situation that over the last few years, he's lost ukraine and ukraine has, for example, a deal with the you that makes it part of the supply chain with the european union members. so that is something where ukraine doesn't need russia anymore. and many analysts are now saying that this is precisely why vladimir putin is now threatening to take back control over at the strategic decisions in that region with, with force essentially because he is losing grip on ukraine. will of shots has been on the fire for some time for being quite invisible in this crisis, and not making any from statements on that. and he was on the fire, not only from you, from ukraine, but also from our allies in nato. and also domestically has he changed his tack here, this crisis? now everybody who knows all have chosen has watched him for a couple of years as we have is not surprised by his behavior. now we'll have shots, isn't the much a man who goes
