Bombing that facility near the polish border, i think putin, if you like, has expanded his playbook. theyre much more directly threatening a nato member on the eastern flank, raising the cost of this. and theyre trying to prevent nato from supplying ukraine with any more weapons, with any more equipment. so i think we should be very concerned about that. as far as i know, nothing has happened in terms of the diplomatic negotiations that have been going on today. its really not clear that russia ...

Hes already a war criminal which means if he loses, hes dead. so they have to give them some kind of come as the director of national intelligence said, youve got to give this guy proper deference because he feels like he never got that from the west or from europe. so we have to give him a nice little, small victory. a face-saving off-ramp. we need to have some kind of mediation, to echo what jesse said, what else can you do except world war? right? >> dana: its a great point and one thing puti...

Open communication is good, not progress but a good thing to keep it going. 75 minutes of talks between the german chancellor and putin and himself. both the french and german to say he was not open to a ceasefire under realistic conditions and the kremlin said he took the opportunity to complain about alleged violation against humanity of the ukrainian against russian soldiers and macron�*s office released pictures of him with his head in his hands so why does he do it. he is criticised by so...

Not advocating for it, but if they did allow for russian troops in central and eastern portions of the country and promised not to join nato, wouldnt that embolden vladimir putin to do more at a later date? >> its a risk, but i think this has gone so badly, i think his military has suffered so fiercely in this conflict. what that allows, if you can get a pause, is to rearm the ukrainians. the second part of having the ukrainians compromise is the u.s. needs to continue arming the ukrainians. the...

Anybody in congress or the senate, talking about things like regime change, this is not helpful at this time. theres a lot of different avenues of communication ago because theres got to be an off ramp and an off ramp has got to include some sort of face saving in some way or im not sure it is going to be possible. one thing we know about putin is his ego goes far beyond anything we can ever imagine. >> and for people who are looking at the war crimes that are being committed day in and day out,...

To roll back the sanctions, weve seen what happened to the ruble, weve seen how the stock markets there closed down, do you see at this point where we are any kind of diplomatic off-ramp that can de-escalate what were seeing? >> youre absolutely right there, has to be an off-ramp. this is not going to end with putins surrendering or being called, he has to be offered a way out of this crisis, meaning there is some diplomatic compromise that gives him some of what he wants as painful as that migh...

Might be being had among nato leaders, might be being had with the vice president as she travels to poland today that look for an off ramp for vladimir putin. >> chris, i think we need to talk about fighter jets a little bit more. i know you want to look at other options. what the pentagon said is nonsense. they said its logistically difficult to move about 30 migs from poland to ukraine. thats nonsense. if you talk to military experts, flight from the base in poland to the base in ukraine where...

Damage and terrible aptrocities in ukraine and plus looking for an opportunity to strike out at nato. >> earlier today it sounded like poland fighter jets might end up in ukraine via the united states pentagon, dismissed as untenable. why do you think that is and do you think it could change? >> i think it could change. i think this is an hour by hour mounting crisis were not fully seeing but is happening behind the scenes, don. youve seen the russian forces bogged down. youve seen them failing ...

Based on the conversation i was just happening? what is a diplomatic off ramp look like? first the voices of ukraine as those people forge ahead valiantly. >> it hurts you to see this. >> of course. you cant prepare yourself for this. you cant. but after nine days now, i have experience in this, nobody has experience in this war situation here. but we have to focus.

You can dial nhs line 111. thank you. >> obviously, speaking to the ridiculous, preposterous, and horrifying actually nature of that claim. at what point, hagar, would vladimir putin look for an off-ramp? is there a point at which he would if hes living in this alternate reality? >> unfortunately, i have a lot of bad experience -- im sorry. i dont know -- >> yeah. were continuing -- i think we have a bad internet connection. im sorry, hagar. but it allows me to go to the congress because this is...
