Words. >> phil, u.s. intelligence appears to have been pretty accurate when it comes to putins thinking in the lead-up to the invasion, not to mention just -- i mean it was yesterday that we were saying that the u.s. intelligence were warning ukraine it was going to be a full-scale invasion, not just a partial one. none of this clearly stopped putin. what more do you think the u.s. intelligence community is doing right now? >> were missing half the question. we focused on the question of what th...

Internal crackdown, the evisceration of civil society and democratic, small d, opposition has been fundamental to putins rule over the last two decades. over the last year youve seen a significant crackdown by putin, the arrest of alexei navalny, the most significant political opponent to him. na vvalny is on trial this week. you saw shutting down the leading human rights group. the fact that so many people did come out despite this risk to themselves in the police state i think is notable, but ...

By ukraine. >> its clearly not fighting fairly. this is so inhumane. phil, are you surprised -- >> its more than not fighting fairly, ana. it is a war crime. >> yes. >> you are specifically targeting civilians, civilian buildings, civilian areas -- >> exactly. >> -- where theres no military advantage to this. >> exactly. >> that is the unique definition. >> let me ask you, phil, about the psychology here because are you surprised that russian fighters are willing to do this? are they just follow...

Keeping many, many people up at night who are looking closely at this, is that we may already be past the point of communicating to putin that we are not in conflict with you. >> phil, there is this concern that senator ben sasse, republican of nebraska whos on the senate intelligence committee has raised, which is whether or not the u.s. is sufficiently enough sharing realtime, actionable intelligence with ukraine. jen psaki at the white house says that the u.s. has been sharing intelligence in...

Country. it doesnt feel right to me. but with this leadership, what else can i do? this was quite shocking to find this level of frustration, of disappointment, of not knowing what to do about the actions their government is taking. im not quite sure how this bodes for the coming days and nights, but its very clear that putin is cracking down heavily. thats his tactic, thats the way he does it, because he wants to snuff out these demonstrations. the war wont be done in a day in ukraine and these...

Talking about, look for them to do something in tandem with european allies. every major step they have taken has been in coordination with europe. >> kaitlin collins at the white house, thank you so much. lets discuss with susan glasser and cnn counterterrorism analyst phil mudd. biden has already sanctioned a number of top russian oligarchs along with their adult children. do you expect these new sanctions on this new group of russian multi hundred millionaires and billionaires will make any...

Before this terrible war, it strikes me -- yes? hello? >> yeah, we can hear you, susan. keep going. >> oh, great. i was just saying that, jake, it seems to me that the war would not have happened if it was up to the oligarchs in the first place. its obviously been terrible for their business. so the concern is that this is punitive, but it doesnt necessarily change anything about whats happening right now. >> all right. phil, i want you to take a listen to senator angus king, independent of main...

General hertling, the commanding general of europe in the 7th army and phil mudd, fbi senior intelligence adviser and a cia counterintelligence official. this seems targeted and intentional. does this change the calculus for nato and the u.s. perhaps when it comes to resisting a no-fly zone or other direct mihm tear involvement? >> i dont think it does yet, ana. this is something thats the red line. weve talked about the issue of the no-fly zone and the prevention of these kinds of things. this ...
