Contention, real contention between the u.s. and russia, is not an answer. were the presidents bluff to be called in the opposite direction by russia, it would open the door to russians thinking they can exaggerate any threat of force in any direction they want. what i have laid out is a series of ideas. there are more. they can bring pressure on russia while at the same time offering a diplomatic solution the parties can work with and live with. >> what i hear from you is a belief, very broadly...

Solemn anniversary with a moment of silence and other ceremonies. in washington, d.c., president biden and the first lady visited the world war ii memorial to pay their respects. in a proclamation marking pearl harbor remembrance day, the president encouraged all americans to reflect on the courage shown by the brave warriors that day. the news continues. lets hand it over to michael smerconish and cnn tonight. >> im michael smerconish. this is cnn tonight. president biden put vladimir putin on ...

Weapons and tanks and other military equipment. all caught on satellite cam. could it all be just a bluff? just a show of force? perhaps, but not likely. putin wasnt bluffing when his country invaded crimea in 2014 in violation of international law, and remember, russia annexed crimea from ukraine after a military intervention. the international community still considers crimea as ukrainian territory. so this was likely the most important foreign policy conversation of the biden presidency thus ...

>> well, we certainly need the germans. we need the eu to be united here. i am sure there is some element inside european political circles that believe this is one big bluff from the russians. ive seen the intelligence. this is serious. i think we cannot say whether vladimir putin has made up his mind. you dont move this number of forces to the border of ukraine if there is a very good chance that you are going to engage in a conventional invasion. back to our politics here, we dont have an amb...

Russian/ukrainian border right now might very well be the largest movement of russian troops in many, many years, possibly since the end of the cold war. at the very least, its the largest movement outside of regularly scheduled exercises. thats a key point to hold on to. you mentioned the buildup earlier this year back in april. a lot of that was couched, at least initially, as part of regular exercise movements and in many places, that did stack up. but one thing that was really interesting to...

Or putin done? hes taken crimea. hes allowed two breakaway regions to form request russia and now potentially phase three, either connecting those areas that have already broken away or have been taken away or a full-skas invasion or nothing, its just a bluff >> i wassen to wrap up. kristen welker, we just got word. we got the official readout. what is the official white house statement on this call? were showing you the situation room there. you have the president and blink ken in the situation...

Of relief being breathed in ukrainian capital tonight when they have heard that. theyve seen that white house readout. they heard what the kremlin had to say as well. theyve listened to jake sullivan describing details of what happened in that conference call. relief to hear that no concessions on that point apparently were made from the united states side because thats the big concern here. will the united states continue to be a strategic backer of e ukraine. >> the presidents national securit...

That to his russian counterpart in the way of severe economic sanctions against the russians and really try to isolate them from the international financial system. the conversation ongoing right now with the expectation it would be a long one. the real outstanding question is whats going on along the russian/ukrainian border with tens of thousands of russian troops amassing there. the real question is this is a bluff by russia. president biden said he will not accept russias red line that the r...

Unfortunately last time we didnt get to see each other at the g 20. >> expressing his disappointment that vladimir putin was not at the g 20 that took place in room or the climate summit. and this is a conversation that comes up among the rising tensions with estimates that up to 100,000 rusian troops are now at the ukrainian border there. unclear if this is a bluff or an effort to try to destabilize that region. even without invading, but based on past history when russia seized crimea. history...
