neil: with would get a vladmir putin to end this?viously the ukrainians are saying we want crimea back, we want you out of the east part of the country, nothing, so you get nothing. >> right. right now there is zero chance -- neil: he doesn't leave unless he gets something, right? >> there is zero chance of anybody negotiating right now because ukraine thinks with our support, that they're going to win back everything to the 1991 borders. russia has believes this is existential fight, they think the whole west against them. they're not just going to surrender and go home. what you have got to find is some kind of a place where both can get something they want and right now that is going to mean that russia is never giving up ukraine. if we try to press that, then the chances for nuclear weapons goes way up and we have to be realistic about this, neil. we can't just say we want ukraine to win everything and we don't want this thing to escalate because at some point reality has to step in that we've got to negotiate with the reality on

vladmir putin said they will suspend the s.t.a.r.t. treaty where it is right now. blinken saying that was deeply unfortunate and irresponsible but if 97% of their army is there, they're bogged down, they're not winning, this is not going the way they want is it possible that a desperate vladmir putin outside of getting help from china, may resort to something like tactical nuclear warfare? >> you know, charles, it is always possible. i mean war is the realm of risk anyway. would think he will cross that threshold simply because i don't think the oligarchs, russian military, will let him go there. crossing the nuclear threshold is an incredible crossing that brings in into the potential of a strategic nuclear exchange. you don't want to go there. i think if he is presented with the option of leaving ukraine with some type of a face, then i think he will take that option but if he loses in ukraine, he is gone. oligarchs or somebody will get rid of him. i would add a lot of food tasters to my group if that happens. charles: no doubt. general, i appreciate your wisdom

vladmir putin suspend as landmark nuclear arms meeting with us.ome depot, lousy earnings forecast, little wonder investors are jittery. we get today we get to the bottom whether they should be, and now the ukraine war entering the second year is contributing to the drag. we have a florida congressman says it is time the president refocus money for things here rather than things over there. his name is cory mills. he is a combat veteran and been to ukraine. is he saying enough with ukraine? we thought we woe ask him. we noticed a pattern. that is what a lot of folks in east palestine, ohio, are saying. the leader here to help them. not the president of the united states. ceo of goya, sending food and support to folks there simply because he wanted to do something. he sparked a different kind of fire, a good one everywhere. so there is some good news out there. more on that, and goya in a moment. first all the worries giving stocks a pounding. welcome, everybody, i'm glad to have you. i'm neil cavuto. get to one of the big reasons we're seeing that

as she told vladmir putin himself this week. >> did you adopt a child from mariapol yourself? >> yes, thanks to you. 15-years-old. now i know what it means to be a mother of a child from dunbas. it's difficult, but we definitely love each other. >> this is really just sickening. according to yale's nathaniel raymond, who you talked to, this is a program designed by russia for its own audience. can you just talk about why that would be? what is the benefit to them? >> that's right. it's all about propaganda really, anderson, when you look at it. this is about speaking to the russian people. now, of course for us from the outside, it's incredibly chilling, as you say. these are children, after all, who are being used as pawns and find themselves on the wrong side of the border. for the russian authorities, this is threefold, according to nathaniel raymond. this is about, first of all, turning those ukrainian children into russian citizens. it is also, though, about convincing the russian public that this was a humanitarian effort. this is what the invasion was about. the third r

it gives vladmir putin heartburn which of course warms my heart, neil.ca, another thing i thought of it, i mentioned iran, all this drone, other technology they're providing the russians, if they hadn't, weren't doing that would we be seeing this? >> that is an important part of this dynamic is that you do have the russians increasingly collaborating with the iranians and of course the iranians are the biggest foe to the saudis. this is why the united states had such a good relationship with saudi arabia during the last administration because we worked very closely with the saudis to counter iran and iran's growing influence. so i think that's definitely a piece of that which goes further to the point i was making i think the saudis would prefer to work with the united states, not only because we're a better partnering countering our shared foes, because we are more reliable, we should more reliable. our weapons are better, et cetera. they will need to get weapons somewhere if they can't get them from the u.s. they will look elsewhere. this is the a good

that capability, the close relations, if they can be anywhere close particularly with russia and vladmir putind a meeting in the coming weeks we're told. add to that we're getting indications they might provide weaponry for the russians in ukraine, maybe lethal weaponry at that what do you think? >> well, two things. first is, neil, they would love to have a relationship with the russians because the russians do have some advanced technology that the chinese no doubt would want to steal, to be able to leverage to improve their weapons systems themselves. by the same token, the fact they may be giving russia lethal weapons, right now the fact we could leak the intelligence on that is actually irrelevant. what the united states should be doing, we prepare for, evaluate, and lies, say yes, china is on the cusp of giving russia lethal weaponry we should be working with our economic partners like the chamber of commerce and others to make sure that we have a rock solid plan in place that should china do that, what are going to be the consequences? what are we going to do with any sanctions we may w

and the ukrainians are saying this absolutely shows that vladmir putin has no desire to end this war any time soon, erin. >> is fred, thank you so very much, live from kyiv tonight. out front now with me, general ben hodges, former commanding general for all of europe. now, general, let's start here with what we heard about this, russians fighting russians inside the army. right? this group from tuva, a region near mongolia, saying other russian soldiers are machine gunning them and telling them they won't leave there align. those are russians on russians. what do you take away from seeing this? >> three things, erin. first of all, there is a long tradition of violence, abuse inside the russian military. very physical hazing, brutality, using weapons to keep people from retreating. so this does not surprise me. the second take away is that the russian federation is made up of almost 100 different ethnic groups. you've got soldiers that come from different parts of the fed indication, different ethnicities, different religions. historical grudges. so again, that doesn't surprise me th
