what's your message to putin on that? >> it's a big mistake to do that. not very responsible. and -- but i don't read into that that he's thinking of using nuclear weapons or anything like that. i think it's -- not sure what else he was able to say in his speech at the moment, but i think it's a mistake, and i'm confident we'll be able to work it out. >> reporter: he is saying he's going to suspend participation in this nuclear treaty. rhetoric is one thing, but we're a year into this war now. does it concern you when he says something like this? and are we less safe? >> well, look, i think we're less safe when we walk away from arms control agreements that are very much in both parties interests and the world's interest. but i've not seen anything, we've not seen anything where there's a change in his posture, in what they're doing. the idea that somehow this means
