they did the same in crimea. so we're not that this time. vladimir putin knew his actions in ukraine in 2014 would bring sanctions and condemnation but he had his reasons. we can see one of them in this article in july. president putin wrote: and certainly one of his motivations is a desire to maintain the influence and cultural connections that are rooted in russia's history. but for all that, this is also about security. have a look at this map from the website of the defence alliance nato. the light blue coloured countries are all nato members. ukraine is not a nato member but it gets major military support from the us and others, and all of this is too close for comfort for putin. in his eyes it requires a response. we keep that in mind when we consider how the us is connecting the current trip buildup. here is a recent tweet from the secretary of state antony blinken. he describes a hybrid campaign on the border which seeks to threaten security, so division and distract from russia's activities on the border with ukraine. and to underst

this is an individual who has his eyes on securing crimea and whatever he can get from ukraine. tom: key have come you've been there, 6 -- key have -- kiev, you have been there come a 60 miles from the border. down south is the black sea. we are showing the flag and the black sea right now. from your sources in washington, is that enough. annmarie: the kremlin is pointing to that is one of the provocations they are seeing. they are saying, we need you to step back. what the kremlin is saying is look at all of the u.s. troops in the black sea. it is interesting right now what is going on in russia particularly as well. you just had the ukrainian foreign minister meeting with secretary blinken. they spoke about russia, what is going on. they said we don't want russia to use gas as a weapon. the crimean foreign minister was like, they already are. belarus i would say is really a big tension with poland right now. tom: the other big tension is merkel, exit stage right. lisa: the other is the energy crisis across the european continent. how much does that play into some of the tensio

they came into crimea. i didn't notice them affecting american living standards. >> tucker: joe biden actually opened the borders when he became president, actually opened the borders. millions of illegal immigrants have streamed in. now, biden has a solution to the problem he created. we're going to pay the countries from which these migrants are coming to stop them from coming. hard to say it's the craziest thing we've heard this year because so much is crazy, but it's pretty crazy. special edition of "tucker carlson tonight" continues. spen >> tucker: welcome back to the special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." u.s. border patrol has but yes border can patrol has encountered more than 6 million illegal in the end the immigrants. a lot of those are never going to leave a nice no sign that this is an invasion. that's's what it is, given the numbers, is going to cease anytime soon. no american has been -- that changing country -- the country is changing forever because joe biden wanted to. they agreed t

exclude it excludes people on the in the don bass, for example, and obviously alienated the people in crimea. the what, the reason why they left, okay, that's a narrative that the u. s. continues to push here is that there's only one definition of ukraine and of being ukrainian, which is not true. go ahead, ernst. as a possibly a recent joints. you asking brains, did he are statements and then released back in september, 1 of the one closest respects and nurse and fighting for fighting for the ryans o everyone, no matter what gender race and so on, i think is xena phobia and so on. fortunately, it will be events, we can see that the rise in russian speakers have been trampled on the following. the jewish congress as well as the main things on grace all over was answers for issues as well. you grands of all other minorities in even in west so it's yes, you know, well, well a nickel. i mean the, what about what about minority writes here in place? it's very rarely reported, but there's a huge assault on freedom of speech in ukraine, primarily russian speaking russian language outlets here. but

know, i did the crimea 10 times in my childhood, in my young years. i never heard of water green spoken there. but you do like the state.

what happened is russia infiltrated forces into crimea and on command the forces put on their uniforms and took over all the element, that infrastructure of government occupied. it was an elegant operation when you look at it. what we see now is the application of very precise, very large kinetic force. the likelihood is frankly it is really a tossup. the challenge is that clearly what putin does at the tactical level is he's very aggressive, wants to poke holes and find gaps in where those alliances and partnerships might exist within europe, and clearly with the united states. the challenge that we see now is clearly this administration, the biden administration is being tested. on the heels of what might be perceived globally as a form of, you know, decreasing power and influence. so that's where we are right now. this is brinksmanship, is what we're looking at. >> so what do you do if you're the biden administration, we know from our reporting they're considering sending weaponry, even potentially helicopters, would have been sent to afghanistan before the pullout, you got this pro

the navy is important because back in 2014 russia came into ukraine and annexed crimea, where it keeps its naval black sea fleet, its only naval fleet that has access to warm waters that it can be used 12 months of the year, that is a key strategic asset for russia and putin says he won't give it up. the international community says clearly he has annexed it and they'll never recognize russia's ownership of it. so is putin at the moment thinking about a way to solidify his control of the areas of ukraine around crimea? this is the difficult guess. but absolutely that buildup is causing concern. we heard today in europe, but we heard today from president putin's spokesman saying conversations that we're having here are deliberately whipped up hysteria and is telling nato to back off on its military and political expansion close to their borders. >> and nic, compounding the question of putin's intent, is this congressional source telling cnn that there is an intelligence blind spot when it comes to trying to nail town what putin is trying to achieve with this buildup, that's an enormous

in the seven years since russia took crimea, the sanctions we put on russia have not led them to give it back. we also haven't let ukraine into nato in that time and are not likely to anytime soon. i think the russians are calculating that president biden has got other fish to fry, both at home, with china, and he may well determine if he didn't get that much pushback by crimea, he might be able to edge a little more territory now. >> the reason crimea is yellow is because russia stole it seven years ago. david sanger, thank you. >> always great to be with you, jim. >>> still ahead, president biden set to speak this morning about the new coronavirus variant, omicron. the u.s. banning flights to and from south africa and seven neighboring countries starting today. cnn has live team coverage. stay with us. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible... ...with rybelsus®.

there's been fighting on and off there since russia annex crimea, from ukraine in 2014. now for the 2nd time this year, russian troops are building up along ukraine's border. moscow dismisses as inflammatory. any suggestions? it's preparing for an attack. and present, vladimir putin says he has his own red lines. if nato countries involve themselves further in ukraine, it is some kind of strike systems appear on the territory of ukraine. the flight time to moscow will be 7 to 10 minutes and 5 minutes in the case of a hypersonic weapon being deployed. creating such threats in ukraine poses red lines for us, but hope it doesn't come to that. i hope that a sense of common sense responsibility for both our countries and the world community will prevail. russia says nato has deployed a significant amount of military hardware near its borders. in june, joe biden and vladimir putin held their 1st summit. it came just a couple of months after a russian troop of build up along the border with ukraine. now here's another build up, and the kremlin says it's holding behind the scene
