general keane, you citedteer sources who martha maccallum w earlier today that i found veryy disturbing that in fact the biden administration is pressuring zelinski to surrender part of their countryon to russia. yeah, well, reliable sources indicate for more than a week the biden administration has been pressuring zolensky to make a deal and in that deal certainly would be giving up an awful lot. and it's stunning to me. i mean, here we are in ourha intel agencies reported on earlyve on that this war wouldn't last three to five days. russia is going to taked a capital and topple the government. but it's been a now and as you've been saying here in your monologues and many of us haveog been saying also on fox there is a real opportunity to win here and the focus should beho on helping zolensky win notul to end the war, to win the war. that's where we should be. and i'm also reallye disappointed by nato. we had the 30 members it supposedly quote an emerging session and i'm assuming the reason why we'rend getting together after a month we got together at the beginning of the war is becaus

earlier the countries media watchdog restricted access to d, w and other international media websites. earlier this week, popular echo moscow radio station and the independent dos tv channel also shut down at your door right now. joining us now is the w's russian affairs analyst constantine again, he joins us now from top to in estonia, and i don't think that the line is actually up and running. so i think he's there the can here as a city, tell us more about the media legislation that the duma as just passed. well, it's not an increase in censorship. it's just plain and simple up to 15 years for as it is said in the text of the new law, the amendments to the law for a spreading information that causes harm. show harm is not defined. it is defined probably by the kremlin. so it is an attempt to silence anyone who provides not even an independent objective. it's very difficult to do it in such circumstances, but actually alternative point of view. and this law is many other aggressive law adopted in the last few years, is designed to actually silence the opponent doesn't mean that ever

earlier d, w spoke to a resident of khaki and she told us about a missile attack on a residential area. were up to 5 apartment buildings where he's with many severe civilian casualties, argue as a big feet and the now with russia cell in wisconsin cell. and because i know here is a shell and goes on and people cannot go outside and we are running for supplies and their medical supplies. so actually the big street is on the verge of humanitarian at the store. but that's what the brain here because now and it's in a couple of supply and food is impossible. i have seen here today the long lines of people who want to just to buy a lot of bread because it's a shortage. right now. i ill wary and great about the russian troops come in to ukraine. i want to defend my whole and want to fight with all those ukraine nouns who are now in the territorial defense, you know, and then the military and everyone come on. now i can give all interior out medical aid, and if and that i'm capable of, and i know a lot of people who do that as well, because we are here on our land, whenever threats and the ru

w a little earlier that today started from the shower in heart by a grad file system. and they go like solid target residential area. again because we have reports that the multi story building where he rushed me styles and rockets. and then at about a to our, the rush, the rock at the main administrative building, which is situated on the central square. and there are universe to build houses and the now we see what the consequences of that strikes are just devastated because of the building is completely ruined inside. so there are no windows left, and that's why the soviet style building with the walls and also are there other building that's me that residential building folks without any windows and there are the damages the the, the street is destroyed. so we don't haven't. and yet numbers of the last us to be learned, but we have already yesterday. well, that's just concerned and the 2 children and one of the rockets the car where there was a family in their moments. so and today also, but they are all sold their administrative building. they're brought me up by

earlier we asked you w correspondence, sonya felony car in paris for her take on macaroni speech. what stood out for me in that speech was that, you know, he started really by making a distinction between a russian president and, and the general population. you know, you really call this invasion of ukraine proteins war. and he said that, you know, frost stands with all russians who are against this war in ukraine. that is a pretty powerful message. i thought also you know, he needed to point to kind of saying that despite everything that had happened, the invasion and his own feel diplomatic efforts, he was going to keep communication channels open with president not to be put him not last week. present macro became one of the 1st western leaders to actually speak with beauty after the invasion of fame. traditions here made it very clear that that call was made or the after close consultations with the ukrainian presidents and in ski. and they said it was meant as a clear message to moscow to kind of immediately seize military operations on. and of course the card a big point tha

earlier i asked e. w correspondent, stefan simons, how the war in ukraine was affecting us china relations in general. wally, chinese us relationship was somewhat on the rocks before the invasion, but it didn't made it better to the contrary. but as long as china is really doing what they're doing now, by being absent of any vote in the un security council, they will not vote with the other. are you as a courtesy council members in demanding russia to stop the war or a charging russia with, with aggression against ukraine? they abstain from any vote in this. and this is, i think it's, it's expected and accepted by the u. s. and the, and their, and the u. s. partners. however, any, and any other step forwards of, from the chinese towards russia would actually worse and the relationships between the u. s. and china, which is ed, as i said before, and not the best anyway, not at all. the w correspondence at stefan simons in washington, there will in moscow, a dissenting journalists, storm the state of russia

earlier d, w spoke to exiled opposition, leaders of atlanta cigna sky and asked her whether she believed them. we have to say that bill is, is already involved in the war from the very 1st day. i have a question allowed russian troops to use our tourette's router, boom, ukraine. so the fact to us is already enrolled and the bill is a cool rest of this war. however, there was a huge position to walk among would regular cents a month, supporters of changes and even the meal for it. as we know that there's an army and refuses to go to crane despite pressure and threats to weeks ago, bureau, son, army was already supposed to join russians rooms. but you know, something went wrong. and it says that very day of this war, we have been working with officers with mom so, so does explaining why bill shouldn't be involved in this, in this war with ukraine. and they also explain what to do in case if so this will be forced to cross the border how to surrender the korean meal train. and i really don't know if for invasion or bureau sent troops, it happens. but all the bill ruin, cbre says, doing ever

w. now we've heard president lensky earlier talk about negotiating a potential neutral status for ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. would russia be willing to give that to ukraine? i think it's possible, but it's of course, only one part of the nation's stick. your point is what russia will do with the territory it's occupied would return that territory. ukraine would ask for a car will make demands that compromise. you can search around sovereignty that i think is the most difficult, more difficult for us to negotiate on that note. so let's see also talk about a compromise on the don't bass ration that's the part of the senior crane that's been held by probation separatist for years. now. could this be a way out of the war? do you think potentially is of course a huge compromise. brozowski to make and that's why i think he feels he has to go to was on population was, are, and them to get that authority. but certainly, if you would be willing to make that concession, i think that could move russia very much closer to a deal in the last few days, we have heard that russia might

the e membership question for ukraine, the leaders decided on a big internal policy change earlier with voting the w corresponding barbara result who attended the summit in for sime and we asked her what the biggest shifts were this actually is a quantum leap for the european union because they had to acknowledge that all their political doctrines, their ideologies and their beliefs throughout the last 10, maybe even 20 years, were simply wrong. they thought that the world was a reliable place was their neighbors, like russia, being closely tied to europe by trade and by financial ties. and this has proven to be horribly untrue, sir. their security is seriously threatened. so they have to sort of re formulate everything energy policy. it means that they will try to get off russian oil and gas. they want to diminish it by 2. so till the end of the year defense, they have a found out and, and sort of really noticed that the actually defenseless, without american troops that russia could aggress a war. it's not a war of aggression against them as well, theoretically. so they will now have a common defe
