Again, it took a long time. but i do think its important what you mentioned that the u.s. administration has not yet fully accused the russians, and i would assume this is because of the all important matter, which is to figure out how to get president putin to stop. in other words, they still have to figure out a way to get him to stop in a political way because its unlikely this is going to be solved on the battlefield. >> yeah. and that, obviously, has proved -- at this point there doesnt see...

His advisors didnt like that recommendation. however an official in the israeli prime ministers office is denying that claim. but it comes, lisa, as theres a new analysis piece in the "washington post" looking at a possible off-ramp, asking if ukraine could become neutral. you know, be something like switzerland. so, what does the ukraine government view as terms that could potentially end this war and terms that you think russia could accept? >> ukrainian government is representing the voice of...

Area. so the question being asked this sunday, is this putins definition of an off-ramp scenario? weve been hearing that for five weeks. so that may be one in putins mind, if he secures the south, he gets a direct line by land to the port of sebastopol. this normally freezes over during the winter. this means at will, eia -- and now russia can have military deployments year around. this is the idea of creating an archetype that may be very similar to north and south korea. theyll occupy this are...

Today. but what we have to remember is the people with money or who found their money in the 90s -- and thats a whole other story of how they got them. but the people who emerged as putin came to power, he basically looked at them and forced them to make a deal. that was either theyre going to be on his side and they get to keep their money or they have to flee. so, theres lots of examples of people who have had to flee since then. but there are also of course examples of people who fill the kre...

Some of that coming out of the kremlin, and it gets amplified on right wing media, as you know. do you think putin will cross that line and that he will use these bogus pretexts to do the unima unimaginable? >> jim, im not in the middle of the negotiations. i dont have the access to the classified information that maybe state department or national security council staff has. however, i dont see an off-ramp for vladimir putin. i dont see him accepting half a loaf on this. i think he wants the wh...

This over and over, is that diplomacy, theyre trying to be careful about how much diplomacy they do right now, because theres still an invasion, its getting worse and there seems to be no stopping vladimir putin from doing it. and i think thedoes, if he stop what he is doing and whatever off ramp that the european allies and america are able to provide him at some point, which is what experts say he will need in order for this invasion to stop, and then it is possible. but i think it is pretty s...

Pivotal week. you know, putin could, if he dares, attack putin, and i think that would trigger an american response. i think it should trigger an american response if the nato ally is attacks. theres an off-ramp here. the chinese are trying to broker a compromise. the french leaders, german leaders, israeli leaders. theres an off-ramp here for vladimir putin. i hope he takes it. well see what happens this week. if this becomes more and more of a quagmire for russia, where its not making major ga...
