Its certainly a hard pill to swallow, the idea that as russia is retreating from kyiv, that ukraine would grant them territorial control over one inch of ukrainian land. but, there are clearly things that can be on the table, the neutrality of ukraine can be on the table, devolved power for eastern regions can be on the table. and i think the united states is willing to put some things on the table as well. weve never had the intent of putting missiles inside of ukraine, that would threaten russ...

Officers, that they were going to be pulling forces away and stopping the offensive against kyiv and other cities in the centre and the west, and focus on the east, has not happened. there might have been a slight withdrawal of troops, but only slight, and the bombing of kyiv and other cities continue, again not in the east, so we have no true indication of a change in russian tactics, but we are waiting to see if it happens. with that, does it have to be seeing the actions on the ground to actu...

Concerned about the elevated energy prices, in part because of the potential impacts on inflation, in part because of the impacts on affordability for people — particularly for people who are, you know, not of high income within our respective economies. and so, i think were all thinking about how we can address that. but certainly, we all have an interest in bringing those prices down. we certainly dont want to see inflation become a chronic problem going forward, and i dont think were there ...

The united states says putin is a butcher, that gets through to the russian people.dougherty is right. the russians dont want to get this out. they dont want their people to hear that the president of the united states thinks that their president is a war criminal or a butcher or shouldnt remain in power. so i think this is actually a message, not just to president putin, but to the russian people. >> following these talks in europe, involving the united states president. we didnt really hear ou...

But i want that take a step back and think about, if you will, what happened in those conversations today. i had a chance to speak to some of my contacts with the ukrainian government who were in the meetings with joe biden today. they said that the president was strong in his commitment, that he reiterated his support for what theyre trying to accomplish as a sovereign state in ukraine. at the same point, he didnt come with any new information. he didnt come with any new commitments. he didnt c...

Pushing back, but recapturing territories in the west, including makariv, a small town or the ukrainian flag is it to be flying again. but there are discussions about the russian military digging in their artillery, underlining that if ukraine enters the second month of this war, russia still have overwhelming firepower and its still out mans the ukrainian forces in every which way and president putin has given no indication that he is ready to end what he calls his special military operation an...

To the polish people as you note there. there is an awareness, and a trepidation here now that -- and of course with the developments of the last hour or so with bombs now striking, or missiles striking lviv, just about 45 miles from the polish border, they are on the front lines, not only of a military conflict but of course a humanitarian crisis as well, which is something the president has been seeing firsthand. a big part of the presidents message has been to reassure and thank the polish pe...

Of a change in russian tactics, but we are waiting to see if it happens. with that, does it have to be seeing the actions on the ground to actually believe anything said by the kremlin? i think you have to see things on the ground that match their commitments and promises. when it comes to the spoken or written word, if putin doesnt say it, we should assume it is not authoritative. and if he does say it, he may be lying. the only flexibility we have heard from russians have not come from the mou...
