Backed separatists in the east part of the country for eight years now with of course russias taking of crimea. so an invasion would be an extension of an existing war not a new one. and yes, many have said watch what russia does not what it said. those few thousand troops may have been returning to their bases as russia claimed, but its a tiny number of the overall amassed forces around ukraine. and as you said u.s. officials are now saying far from drawing down troops from some places russia i...

Ukrainian border. and you can see it here. satellite imagery spotted at least 60 russian helicopters moving into a previously empty air base in crimea. we start in ukraine with our senior national security correspondent alex marquardt. >> it does remain to be seen how significant a move this is by russian troops. whether its symbolic or the beginning of any russian de-escalation. we dont know how many troops are involved, exactly where they are leaving from. the kremlin are downplaying it saying...

We were called when the prussians were invading georgia back in 2019. they were given about half the troops that they use to invade ukraine. a lot of problems with communication and friendly fire. so its very obvious now that these russian military has modernized and while they might be a third rate about the size of italy in terms of gdp, theyre not only a nuclear power , they are a first-rate military and we saw that with a lot of precision strikes. the russian defense ministry claims that the...

However, another thing that putin doesnt want to see is nato unified and nato militarized up to his border. the permanent bases would actually do that. in nato countries, a permanent u.s. and nato bases. >> harris: will they do that with us, though? would that be okay with them? when the president -- look, the "new york post" op-ed argues it this way. bidens presidency has made the u.s. look weaker to putin long before putin invited ukrainian invasion, the president did, rather, by suggesting a ...
