Initially with defensive weapons, and are pivoting towards offensive, more heavier weapons. and of course humanitarian aid, thats coupled with the sort of spencer move, the sanctions against moscow. i think thats been pretty effective. i dont think that there needs to be escalation further. and i also think that potentially, with the sort of you know, if biden were to make a surprise visit to kyiv, that might be something that shows solidarity. but theres one downside to it, which is that moscow...

Called a proxy war several years ago, and now as you point out, defy secretary austin when he was in kyiv was talking openly about degrading the russian military. that should be, you know, beyond, beyond defending ukraine. i think there is a difference between defending ukraine and trying to defeat russia. and i think conflating the two is not always helpful. i was at the white house correspondents dinner last night, peter, where there was this tribute to the people of ukraine, both from the org...

Never be fully robust, given the power imbalance. what worries me is not the military support, its the fact that the u.s. has signaled in various ways, that its goal now is not simply to make sure that ukraine can stay a sovereign, independent country, but to use this to weaken russia, to use this as a kind of a front in a larger cold war, against russia. that worries me, it seems, it makes this about much more than ukraine, and it actually seems to be it makes it harder and less likely that put...

Ukraine can stay a sovereign, independent country, but to use this to weaken russia, to use this as a kind of a front in a larger cold war, against russia. that worries me, it seems, it makes this about much more than ukraine, and it actually seems to be it makes it harder and less likely that putin is gonna make the kind of ultimate deal that we need to, if he thinks that the u.s. is just using ukraine as a proxy, in an effort to try to make russia a week or nation. >> when i mention proxy wars...

Move. it would benefit them politically. i dont put my president into a war zone at this point. >> fair enough. the shaun, let me pick up on what norman mentioned, policy. something we were discussing earlier on the show. when austin was in kyiv, he said one of the open u.s. war insist to degrade and weaken the russian military. at what point do you think its justifiable support for the ukrainian government and military to become perhaps a more questionable proxy war against russia by the u.s.? ...

Concerned and what should the u.s. response be to that declaration? >> well, putin has declared war against ukraine, whether he does it formally or not is inconsequential. i think that what we are doing and what we will continue to do is help ukraine ultimately have victory and defeat russia. ukraine is a test for the west. its a test for the international order. can one country, in this case, russia under putin, erase the borders of europe? change a country by force? or will the international o...

Alignment. >> joey: cory, it looks like the government administration is scraping the bottomless barrel of funding going into ukraine. we are wanting that more than we did the less governments were years of the afghan war. russia recently said this is in their perspective a proxy war between them and us. how do you feel about the amount of funding going there and as congress what would your opinion be on how to spend that money? >> i think i will tell you, joey to spend billions of dollars to pr...

Been asking for. you know, the only chance to take back territory and give people a chance to survive is to have weapons, have equipment. and at an official level we asked many times about that, finally we received it, appreciation for that, and the important thing is the coordination by the us, great britain, other countries, so it is like a coalition, and that has been for us like a message, you will win, this is important for all ukrainians. and anti—putin coalition, you say, but russia has...

Victorious statements, but it is also thought he might use this day to continue his narrative with the russian people that they are the victims now of western aggression, the west and nato is waging a proxy war in ukraine. id be very surprised if in the next seven, eight days we see any real progress, certainly from the russian side, or willingness to commit to any progress in peace negotiations because right now the tone and the rhetoric in moscow is extremely belligerent and it is all designed...
