well, vladimir _ believe that to be? well, vladimir putin _ believe that to be? well, vladimir putin does - believe that to be? well, vladimir putin does not l believe that to be? well, i vladimir putin does not hide the fact that russia has modern weapons. he is constantly talking about russia's dilatory arsenal, the new hypersonic missiles that the russians have developed. —— military. claiming that the russian army is one of the strongest armies in the world, constantly sending out the message that if anyone should get in his way, if anyone should attack his country, then russia would respond in a necessary way so he added in that speech today, i hope my message, my words have been heard. we know that president biden has said he does not want to go to war with russia. america, nato have no intentions of putting boots on the ground in ukraine because they do not want this situation to spend even more out of control and become a world war. russia has now lodged effectively a full—scale invasion of ukraine. vladimir putin demanding that care have laid down

that was important to vladimir putin. the new administration gave a new extension without any concessions from the russians. i don't like criticizing the others. i was a lot smarter on these issues before i was national security advisor and i am smarter afterward but when you are in the thick of it, there are things that you know that the folks on the outside don't know. we felt it was very important to make sure the russians, there were concessions from the russians and not just paper agreements. that is something vladimir putin is concerned about and we need to make sure it is handled property. to be credible the negotiating table, we have to get back in the game with modernizing the triad and increasing our ability as necessary. >> one of the things that is purportedly and we don't have the full text on the table from the united states to the russians would be some arms control measures in your. -- europe. why not have deconfliction in and around the black seat? why not have more transparent ability to inspect -- that

georgia of course was under attack by vladimir putin in 2008. the georgian government has condemned russia's invasion, but it has not joined other countries in imposing sanctions. so robin, this protest is not going to quiet anytime soon? >> that is right. i think that you will find some very interesting reactions among the former republics, once part of the soviet union, now independent. you see that many of them have joined nato. some of them are facing the same kind of pressure, and what we have seen over the last 20 years particularly, is the kind of street protests that changed the politics in the capital, and the demonstration you saw today, and yesterday, and the demand that the president resign. this creates a different political dynamic. i think the kind of international reaction you have seen, the reaction some countries around russia, i think this is going to put pressure on a lot of governments to take stronger positions whether it is on sanctions, or providing the kind of channels needed to help a guerrilla campaign if indeed the go

that means vladimir putin has a low threshold of risk. which means he can do something to surprise us, including use his nuclear weapons. their doctrine is to deescalate to escalate. we should be object a much higher level of alert right now. jon: gordon, thank you. the white house official tells fox news that president biden is getting regularup dates from his national security team after russian president vladimir putin ordered his country's nuclear forces on high alert. peter doocy joins us from the white house. >> ahid these reports that russia is elevating their nuclear readiness level. i spoke to a national security official, part of it says we affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be thought. jen psaki says today's news follows a trend line. >> this is a pattern we have seen from vladimir putin throughout this conflict. manufacturing threats that don't exist in order to justify further aggression. >> there is a new concern putin could launch chemical weapons. >> certainly nothing is off the table with this guy. he'

vladimir putin knows that. and he has a black belt in judo, so he is going to use our strength against us, freedom of the press and democracy. essentially some additional throwaways to his propaganda. we do not have an option. that's what we do. i would not be the least bit surprised if he is going to follow the same playbook that he did in georgia and recognize them as independent of ukraine. that is exactly what he did with georgia. he believes that gives him veto power over georgia and now their ability to join nato. that is where the discussion started, not end, with any potential follow. or discussions at lower levels. >> sandra: very interesting analysis. if you could hang out with us, we could be hearing from vladimir putin any moment now. appreciate if you can stand by with their coverage. >> john: let's bring in general jack keane who joined us on the phone. we are told of vladimir couldn't told president macron and chancellor scholz that his intention is to announce tonight. does not necessarily mean

it also leaves the door open for vladimir putin. there are more sanctions to come, only if putin decides he wants to attack ukraine further, moving his troops beyond the separatist controlled areas. there is still a chance for him to steer back or decide for a diplomatic path. the u.s. expectation is not as optimistic anymore. the problem is, of course, the vladimir putin might have affected all that in already. michael: how likely is the u.s. government to launch further measures against russia? i suppose it has a lot to do with what russia does. guest: that is just right. it really depends what will happen next. keep in mind there will be no military intervention. ukraine is not a nato member. we are talking about further sanctions. will russia move their troops beyond the separatist controlled areas? will it be a full fledged invasion? will russia attacked kyiv? all those questions are circularly right now. no matter what they do, there will be no military actions taken. the measures out -- that the united states and nato partner

>> reporter: this is a serious, angry vladimir putin. it was one of the emotional retellings, list of grievances at this point, and it was quite aggressive and painted a dark picture of where he might take everything. it came after he held this very clearly choreographed national security meeting in which he essentially polled one by one his 2 dozen or so national security advisers basically asking them to sound off on whether or not they would support the recognition of luhansk and donetsk as independent states, and they all said yes. there were two to three that seemed to hesitate and vladimir putin pushed them away from that. and that was, frankly, an incredible thing to watch and then today he's out again after receiving permission from the russian parliament to do what he wants with the russian military. again, making even more direct comments about the status of donetsk, about the status of luhansk, and what now is required in his explanation of kyiv and basically, if i'm going to sum it all up, we've seen vladimir putin in the las

— vladimir putin? vladimir putin ossible vladimir putin? vladimir putin possible future _ vladimir putin? vladimir putin possible future game - vladimir putin? vladimir putin possible future game plans . vladimir putin? vladimir putin possible future game plans to| possible future game plans to take back the ukraine, he may do it in small steps but he has made it clear that is going to go beyond luhansk and donetsk, he has basically moved russian troops into these areas and to go beyond luhansk and donetsk, he has basically moved russian troops into these areas and declare them independent. and basically annexed them. and our sanctions have not been adequate. if you would back it over recent years, vladimir putin has never paid a big price for the sanctions, for the relentless attacks on western democracy, he has never paid a big price. the question of the sanction is, with the actually threatens vladimir putin's power of? in the united states the western alliance limit themselves to financial sanctions on particular oligarchs and limiting

host: is vladimir putin dependent on the oligarchs or are the oligarchs dependent on vladimir putin? guest: the oligarchs are more dependent on vladimir putin. they do not challenge him politically and their wealth is largely dependent on their loyalties to vladimir putin. as you recall, there have been various attempts to go after oligarchs who are deemed disloyal to putin. the trial and conviction of -- is the best example of that. host: does vladimir putin care if an oligarchs loses a yacht? guest: no. host: what would going after them mean? what is the point? guest: it would be going after their finances that are sequestered abroad. going after the banks and the bank accounts and their exclusive lives that hate they have led in the west. for making sure that the oligarchs who are still in russia can travel -- cannot travel and roam around the world and visit their various bank accounts in the cayman islands. host: independent, good morning. caller: my question is given the current administration, do you think if we were still under the former one we would be in this? guest: hones

that could have deterred vladimir putin. right now putting all of our efforts into the sanction bucket europe sees that and they think it might not work. they don't think it's going to influence vladimir putin, it simply going to bring more economic pain to them. in the long run it's going to cause great harm. we should be aware that in the long term were talking about the european union with the gdp of $3.2 trillion. with all the unrest and chaos were facing right now on that continent it's going to have implications, negative implications for the global economy. again, it's time for president biden to step up and tell us what is real strategy is. we haven't heard that yet. >> dan, why didn't we do that sooner? you mention sanctions are not enough, aid to ukrainians we provided some but not more? why not? >> i can tell you from first-hand experience working the russian account back in 2008. right after russia invaded georgia, the obama administration pursued a policy of recess with putin. we decided that we would try to wor

it is almost unthinkable what vladimir putin has done. we hope this will have been a huge strategic error for him. eric: what will happen if the people in the military complex turn against him? >> i don't want to speculate. one doesn't wish fighting and trouble and disturbance on any country but i think the russian people, this is not a quarrel with the russian people. the russian people will wonder what is being done in their name. we know there are petitions which if you look at what is happening on the ground in ukraine vladimir putin has the narrative the russian army will be welcomed with open arms and that is so far from the case. resistance from the ukrainians. the russian advance was not able to complete its objectives. who knows whether this will drive them to more brutality but the ukrainians are fighting back for their country, fighting for their families. nato and western countries are supporting them. i saw a picture of the bridge in latin america lit up in yellow and blue in support of ukraine. there is huge support for ukra

i'm vladimir putin has to know that. it also not seen any demonstrations really in support of what putin is doing. a gun, and to crimea, where there was a support to what cohen was doing, it's because he was so clean liam-limited and focus on this piece of territory, and then a lot of russians felt like was part of russia. russians know ukraine, they know how it's a big country. they know the green people are going to resist. there are cross family ties between russia and ukraine. there are russians who are worried about their families in ukraine. the russians are actually worried about the ethnic russians that putin claims to be defending ukraine, but who are now engraved danger. in addition to just the popular opinion he has to worry about, you saw him convene a meeting of the top oligarchic's, basically convening the group of people who were going to have all of their assets targeted now by the sanctions. potentially, their children assets targeted. their property seized, the banks taking huge hits. gas from the russi

what happens to vladimir putin? the question is how does this end? it only ends i think if the russian people become squeezed and put pressure on putin. he holds power over from like any dictator. there is no reason to think that the sanctions or anything else we do will push him out of power in russia. he controls a very significant military. the only deterrent we have at the moment is showing as we have in the last week that the west is unified. we can't let up. if we need to put on more sanctions we should. more military effort into eastern europe, we will have to do that. we have to push back to show that he cannot push beyond ukraine. >> martha: we will see. we will see in the russian people want to put up with this. they have a lot of family members as putin pointed out himself on the ukraine side. they may not delight in killing people they consider part of their russian family. that's the "story" for thursday problem 24th. continuing coverage tomorrow. the invasion is on. we are on top of that. the president outlining sanctions that some that

vladimir putin it was another mistake that he made. part of the speeches that you been hearing of late are about the mistakes being made. he has feared nato expansion. in 1999 expanded to the countries of hungary. many of the people in the west were celebrating, he felt threatened there are missile interceptors in romania and poland. it so that offensive, it's meant to shoot missile interceptors. the russians don't see it that way. let's not get too tactical here, the same missile launcher that they found. those can also fire tomahawk cruise missiles he thought that they were the one violating the treaty years ago. this is part of the thing, and the west they see a defensive alliance, putin sees a threat. when they joined nato in 1999, three weeks later they bomb syria. vladimir putin thought moscow could be next, that's why he's been hell-bent that they don't join nato. if he is successful and topping the government here in ukraine is of course open up the borders of many other nato borders and he will have nato on his doorstep which

my message to vladimir putin is clear. he needs to leave ukraine unless he wants to face moms with molotov cocktails and grandmothers and grandfathers with ak-47s. i'm speaking on behalf of arkansas. >> if donald trump runs again, can you support him? >> george, i'm not worried about this fall's elections, much less an election two years from now. i'm focussed on the war of aggression that vladimir putin launched in ukraine. there's not a moment to lose. we can worry about electoral politics down the road. >> president trump was out there talking about it last night. i don't understand why you can't condemn his praise of vladimir putin. >> george, i don't speak on behalf of other politicians. they can speck speak for themselves. i'm delivering my message to you which has been clear whether president obama was president or donald trump was president or joe biden is president. vladimir putin has been a ruthless dictator for years. too many people have not taken the threat seriously. that's why you see the images we see in uk

he desperately wants to be vladimir putin. i think i was clear throughout the four years of his presidency that he was jealous of this guy who got rid of journalists and got rich off of being the leader of his country, not worrying about events. i think we have seen from the weird security council meeting a few days ago, where vindman putin basically humiliated all of his senior officials and his government, and his cabinet, forcing them to kowtow to him on national television. i'm sure trump would love to have a meeting like that broadcast on national tv. fortunately, when president trump was surrounded by officials, who are traditional republicans, who wanted to pursue a traditional american foreign policy towards russia. we managed to hold onto that, even when the former president was in the white house. his personal intentions were always clear, aligning with vladimir putin, getting the u.s. out of nato and blackmailing ukraine. that is the only thing that he ever consciously did for ukraine was blackmailed them. >> human

secretary, you use the word tyrant for vladimir putin. i would add not just a tyrant, but he's emboldened at this point, and he's been propped up by our own former president. and you had said earlier in this interview that we can't let him get away with it. how far should the united states go to meet that? >> i think it's important that the president and our allies stay unified and stay strong and tough at this moment in time. i think it is important to apply these sanctions. they should be tough and crippling sanctions that we apply against russia to make clear that we can make them pay a price for this aggression. number two, that we provide military aid, continue to provide military aid to ukraine so that they can defend themselves as best as possible during this crisis. thirdly, that we reinforce our nato positions with u.s. troops. to make clear to russia that we are not going to continue to allow them to invade democracies in the world. >> have president biden's sanctions gone far enough? are there more sanctions you would like to s

let's get started. vladimir, let him a potent, it's still such a battery in moscow to talk about vladimir virgin who says he respects the sovereignty of all the soviet sets except yes, and let it be put in, made the comments before going in for a meeting with the president of azerbaijan, earlier on a tuesday and a he said that it really, ukraine is a special case. i. he said it, it, he believes that this is a country that is being used by 3rd parties to try and to put pressure on russia and really to put more threats against russia. and that is why he's chosen to do what he does. this was of course, a sentiment that was also shared by the russian foreign minister, sir gay lover of earlier. he said that really this, there is a question about the sovereignty of ukraine, according to him that because the russians believed that the government key of is not representative of the entire population of that country. and this of course, is highlighted by the fact that in the eastern region of ukraine, in dom boss, there are about 800000 people who holds a russian citizenship. and this is why those

vladimir putin is very unpredictable. so it remains to be seen how he responds, but he should know when he responds, we will be prepared to respond as well. >> you've seen some remarkable resilience from the ukranian people, but they're also pleading for more weapons to fight back. the secretary of state blinken announced up to another $350 million to that end. is there anything more that the u.s. can do, like more military support, air support, intelligence, imposing a no fly zone in ukraine? >> we have provided not just $350 million, close to a billion dollars over the past couple days and billions since this situation started. and we're continuing to work with the ukranians on the requests that they had delivering support to them on the ground, and also bolstering our nato allies on the border with ukraine so that they are prepared to respond to russian aggression. >> what about the no fly zone? is that something that's on the table? >> the president has made clear that we're not going to put boots on the ground, we're

judy: russia, under vladimir putin, has launched what u.s. officials describe as the most significant military action in europe in 77 years. from the north, the east, and the south, russia has attacked ukraine with airstrikes, missiles, and troops. ukraine says that at least 57 people have been killed and 170 wounded. elements of the russian army, one of the largest in the world, are heading toward kyiv, the capital. and the u.s. fears the goal is to take over the country and evict the government. nick schifrin begins our coverage. nick: in a european capital, the full weight of the russian military, what the u.s. calls the initial phase of a full-scale invasion, with russian helicopters flying low over residential rooftops and at the outskirts of kyiv to seize a military airport, military vehicles pouring into southern ukraine, and russian troops taking over the chernobyl nuclear site on their way to sack the capital. ukraine and u.s. say the russian military is advancing on at least three axes, from belarus in a pincer movement toward kyiv,

will you still talk to vladimir putin after this invasion? and he did not say that he was revoking his invitation to talk to the russians any time i think that they're going to leave open the option, the only reasonable option for ending the conflict of dialogue. and you'll also note that the european union in the sanctions, it placed directly on president putin and on foreign minister lab rav. it did not impose a trouble ban on them because they want them to be able to come and talk. they want people to be able to go and talk to them. nobody thinks that there's a military solution to this crisis, and that's still the predominant line. but i think you have nato allies meeting now constantly in at 30 well 30 allies around the table talking about what more they can do to help ukraine. short of course of boots on the ground, but you see more equipment pouring in. you see more aid. you see humanitarian aid. poland has offered to be a hub for both nato and the european union because you can no longer fly supplies in. so poland is really stepped up

vladimir putin is not going in. but if he does going, it's the ukraine that is going to have to live like afghanistan, and let him in. host: let's go to terry, honolulu, hawaii, republican. good morning. caller: hey, look. there's absolutely no evidence that biden knows anything about what he is doing. we need to examine the conflict of interest about what his son was doing in the ukraine before he got to be president. there seems to be a serious conflict of interest here. so far, the biden administration has shown no proclivity to be anything but corrupt. incompetent, stupid. there is no reason we should be over there doing this until we know what the biden family and administration has been doing in the ukraine. host: let's go to written in new jersey on the democrat line. good morning. caller: i want to talk about vladimir putin's problem. this is due to much of the soviet union. he has been doing this using a two-pronged approach. he uses that military, but he also uses other means to cause this in the west. he

>> well, we know it will have an effect on vladimir putin. these sanctions are unprecedented in terms of their scope and scale, far beyond what the united states didn 2014, but also significant in terms o the fact that we are acting with many of our closest allies and partners. in terms of the measures we announced today. we now have sanctions on russia's ten thrarnlgest banks, 80% of russia's banking sector assets, we now have export controls that limit russia's ability to import some 50% of the materials for the strategic sectors that they will need to operate, with any strength on the world stage. we have sanctioned oligarchs and others around vladimir putin and our allies and partners have done the same. we have already seen the toll that these measures have taken on the russian financial system. you need only look at the russian stock market, at the ruble, at investor sentiments around russia to know that these measures have been costly and they will be costly. the cost of these measures will gain momentum in the coming days and coming w

vladimir putin has said he wants to demilitarize the country. i wonder, what sort of forces would he needs? does he have what he needs right now? can we say his intention is to hold kyiv? to hold portions of ukraine? because that is a lot different than invading. >> i think you are right about that. i don't want to pretend to be a general, though i talk to them every day. there was i do talk to, with four stars, by the way -- retire generals, let's be clear about that -- they all say that the -- are not enough to occupy. but he did say two important things. one, denounce a vacation de-nazification -- he considers the government to be won backed by us, and to underscore, it's complete nonsense what he is saying. but we are also going to demilitarize, ukraine, he said. that suggests he would go after every military asset the ukrainians have. -- that would be a prolonged war, not just blitzkrieg in and out. i expect this would be going on for a long, long time. what about >> what about this reporting that the united states presented a letter to the

what do you think when you hear vladimir putin? even when i say that name, i saw you made a face. >> how can i not? i never, ever for one for one minute trusted that guy, believed him, or anything even close to that. the name of kgb, there is no such thing as former kgb. >> reporter: in november 2013, thousands of nationalist protesters took to the streets in ukraine's meydan revolution, fighting to break free of russian influence. katya organizing and raising money for countrymen from abroad. >> it will be money toward 24/7, the situation there. me and my husband, we were sleeping, we slept in turn just not to lose anything. and those people out there without any weapon wearing this -- whatever they can find useful, like bicycle helmets and holding these wooden shields and wooden swords. >> reporter: tell me a little bit about belarus and where you're from. >> it's a country in eastern europe. it's run by authoritarian dictatorial regime. >> reporter: the threat of russian invasion is familiar to new york city councilman ari kagan

who believed vladimir putin's legacy. this is also a very poor part of the country and people who do not have jobs, people who are underemployed, they think that will maybe a change of government is better. maybe putin is right. and that if he came in here, there would be more jobs, cheap gas, and people would be back to their remembered past of the soviet union. because some people here remember the great famine of the soviet union and remember the chernobyl and repression and others remember a time of a full albeit simple employment. >> richard we are going to stick close to you this morning as it starts. as we get any information, can always wait in front of the camera, we will go right back to kyiv now. we've heard a large explosion in kyiv, i want to go right back to air mclaughlin there, and what do you got? >> yet a now they're large boom. another indication that this capital is under attack. again, we heard from an advisor to the ministry of interior. cruz and ballistic missiles are being fired at kyiv. targeting

vladimir putin is not thrilled. do you worry that putin has become so unstable that now he throws whatever caution shown, which is very little, to the wind and he goes crazy in an all-out attack on civilians as well and that this gets desperate for him and unhinged for him? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, putin was always crazy. it's just that now the world sees him as crazy. >> we knew that he was crazy for the last eight years when there was a war on the east of ukraine. second, is he going to regroup and attack with all of his forces? yes, definitely. there has not been one hour since the peace negotiations when there was the most vicious and most aggressive attack on kyiv in terms of the firearms and in terms of the air strikes that we experienced in five days. but you know what we learned in eight years? that putin is lying all the time. when he says peace, it means war. when he says okay, i'm withdrawing my troops, it means i'm grouping my troops. he said my army is not there, it's here to kill you.

vladimir putin. i guess a most glaring distinction is that's a country without a robust free press and without the right to protest. so how -- what are the limits i guess of these very high profile protests against putin? >> i think chiefly putin himself. and the sense i got from talking to people in moscow is that this is a man who has taken increasingly strict control obviously of the country and also been in pretty extreme isolation during the covid period. the circle of advisers around him is steadily closing over 20 years and accelerated dramatically. seeing that security council meeting he held with some members of that security council born in ukraine and knew they were launching a war against a country they came from. that was not an effort to gather information. this is not a man listening to anybody except the voices in his own head and in that dynamic where you have been in power for 20 years thinks he knows what's best, feels he is on a historical mission to restore the russian empire and

this has all been the cause of vladimir putin. i think he personally should be sanctioned, but you'll have a massive outflow of millions of refugees bigger than the one from syria into these european countries. and they need to push back aggressively right now against vladimir putin. >> the scope of the potential humanitarian crisis boggles the mind. courtney, i want to talk about president biden making it clear the u.s. is not participating in military action in ukraine, but we also know thousands of u.s. troops were sent to eastern europe in recent weeks anticipating this attack. what are you hearing from the pentagon about next steps? >> reporter: that's right. thousands have been sent in. that's more of the unilateral mission of the military, making an agreement with host countries to send things forward like paratroopers. now we have some advanced aircraft, f-35s. there's attack helicopters, 32 apaches. they've moved into the baltic region. that is significant. what we can expect in the coming hours most likely is some sort o

it is vladimir putin's own words. he is looking to demilitarized the country and change the leadership. lisa: they cannot do a tranche response with respect to sanctions. they will try to do that in a unified manner as vladimir putin moved a lot faster than they were expecting and a lot of people are kinda figure out how they can all get on the same page when oil and gas affects different regions in different ways. jonathan: we are putting these sanctions together in real-time. happening in real time right now. lisa: with boris johnson saying perhaps they should take russia out of the swift financial system. olaf scholz saying no. not the kind of does the unity they want to show at this point -- not the kind of disunity they want to show at this point. jonathan: a dark day for europe and ukraine. with the leadership response has been clear. there accusing russia of bringing war back to the comment. things we not seen for a long time. russia has invaded ukraine. russia would like to demilitarized the country and change

is that the case in regards to president biden's response to vladimir putin? guest: he has a lot of support in congress for tough action. that is an unusual bipartisan sentimen they have not been able to turn that into anything concrete because of divisions and the divisions are the republicans had wanted to authorize sanctions preemptively, before mr. putin might take any move and president biden in the administration and many democrats have been clear they are not wanting to take preemptive action. in the end, congress was not able to come through wit the tough sanctions bill even though there was a fair bit of bipartisan negotiation and optimism about finding some sort of compromise. so yes, he has support for strong action, but there are still differences, which means there has not been bipartisan agreement. ros: thank you very much, as ever. now look at what we actually know wh's happening in eastern ukraine a full minutes time. let's have a look at the response to russia's actions in the last four hours. u.s. is the latest country to announce fresh sanct
