Met Putin News Today

The truth behind them. Lets turn straightaway for the breaking news from washington for the last ten minutes or so, the most senior republican a Us Congress Kevin Mccarthy says hes ordered house committees to begin a formal Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden. Mr mccarthy said his party uncovered what he called Serious And Credible Corruption Allegations. Republicans who narrowly control the house accused mr biden of profiting while he served as Vice President from 2009 to 2017 from his son...

Over the last ten months since the invasion, you, mr. president, and the ukrainian people have met putins brutality with a strong will. your visit comes as the congress prepares to, again, pass another consequential round of security, economic, and humanitarian assistance within the next 48 hours hopefully this will be done. i want to applaud the plan to deliver a patriot defense system, additional himars and other vital military equipment. we are very, very pleased at that decision by the presi...

This new order from putin has, taking it very seriously, i might add, they decline to update the u.s.s current nuclear alert level. instead saying that the u.s. is ready to defend itself, protect the country, and also protect its allies. but one thing i do want to flag is a senior defense official said today that any miscalculation here could make things much, much worse. so michael, no doubt this will be a topic of discussion tomorrow when president biden calls allies and partners from the whit...

Who met putin in recent months such as macron of france and schulz in germany, their aides have told people since those meetings that theyve just been really stunned by how isolated he seems to be. and when you are as powerful as he is and as isolated as he is, the people you do see, the last thing theyre going to do is tell you no. the way he summons these officials sitting at these huge distances from him around these ludicrous tables, a lot of them look visibly uncomfortable, like he is some ...

>> yeah, im curious. how isolated do you think -- well, russia, but also putin is now? even his close friend president xi of china hasnt criticized the invasion, but he hasnt offered support either. is putin feeling isolated do you think? what do you take on that? >> i think forget about countries that putin is isolated from. weve seen putin is isolated from his own officials. were talking about the order for the nuclear alert. when he gave this order yesterday in the kremlin, he was sitting wit...

Plan, that the resistance is way mother than anticipated, and of course the fear is that he could up the ante in terms of how aggressive the campaign is. >> i think absolutely. the state news wire published an article on saturday that looked like it had been written in advance and published by the state because it was written as if russia had already won the war in ukraine in just a few days. and it said that putin had decided to solve the ukrainian question once and for all. and ukraine would b...

Ukraine prepared to negotiate in good faith. because putin said the other day we are open for dialogue, but our core interests are not negotiable. and what that seems to mean is were ready for talks but only if you do everything we want, and we dont make any concessions. and thats not going to work. >> yeah, which is not a great sign. a lot is being done by russian authorities to stop criticism at home, even banning media outlets from using the word invasion and so on. and i read where you tweet...

And the ukrainians have the advantage of fairly long border with nato, with several nato countries where they can get reply. its still debatable how far the russians would push. and if they collapsed kyiv and kharkiv, would they go to the west and secure that territory? it would be a stretch for them. insurgencies take time to build momentum. so i think they wouldnt necessarily be revealed at the outset how effective. but over time i think it would certainly sap the will and the might of the mil...

And so its possible that the talks that we mentioned, if they fail, russia can always use those to say that ukraine isnt taking the talks seriously. so it will have to intensify its assault. you had the leader of chechnya, one of putins most revered henchman saying they should intensify their assault. that means what they did in chechnya during the separatist war theres where they essentially reduced them to rubble. and speaking of rubble, you have the ruble is already down 30% before trading ha...

Untrue information. for example saying zelenskyy has left kyiv and all the videos were prerecorded. this is having an impact on the public perception to the war on china. decidedly the monitor and the social media platform. if you read through the comments they are largely pro-russia and putin. a lot of cheers and applause. many rooting for russia to win. disparaging terms thrown at ukraine and leaders. its a very -- >> only because i want to ask you this next question. very quickly. china appar...
