Had to be so hes in a world where the story himself turned out to be wrong, so hes frustrated and angry but doesnt really have a story to tell the russian people. its striking how on official russian television they dont really know what theyre supposed to be saying. and so this does make a long drawn-out war harder because you endure suffering as, of course, russians can do, if you think its for a purpose. but if it seems purposeless, then people go out on the street and it has been striking an...

Been hearing explosions throughout the night, sometimes you had three, four times in a row, sometimes you may have about four or five minutes of silence then you will hear the explosions again. and then the one explosion is louder than the next, you also hear gunfire. sirens going off oh for the time i have learned how to sleep with it and adjust to what is a safe distance for those explosions and what arent, what isnt. but just yesterday i went to a building, a 15 minute walk from where i am wh...

People, glad mothers as you say, who are gonna be most affected when the companies they work for our squeezed. when the kind of consumer goods that they are looking to acquire do not come through. is this a country where the leadership is massively responsive to the mood of the public? that is actually a question that is being severely tested right now. we spoke last hour about the fact that it has been tonight since the spontaneous -- on the streets of russian cities against this war. russian p...

"i appreciate and admire presidents because desire to join nato. "message? up yours, vladimir putin. go ahead and invade ukraine. and of course he did that just days later. so the invasion was no surprise to the biden administration. they knew that would happen. that was the point of the exercise. we watched all this happen. we missed it. how? honestly because it was insane. and therefore very hard to take seriously. why in the world with the united states intentionally seek war with russia? how...

Century, biggest war of our generation. his blow is not a blow on ukraine, it is a blow on the humanity, on dignity, on human dignity, on human rights, on human lives. so id like to say that we expect the international community to stand up with ukraine and i think that the response should be based not on the principle of nato membership, it should be based on moral responsibility to stop this hell that is happening in the heart of europe. it is not an attack on ukraine, it is an attack on the w...

This is all or nothing for him and why would you play chicken with someone like that? hes just going to go all out so its incredibly risky. i would just like to be a little more measured. you give them things here, we give them things there, ramp up, see how russia reacts. because if we just start sending air crafts into that war zone, what happens if that pilot engages a russian anti aircraft battalion down on the ground. so were taking out russian anti aircraft in russian proper or belarus? th...

Russia invaded -- in 2008. in 2013 he claims that russian speakers in ukraine were under threat. of course there was none of this. he annexed crimea in 2013, and started a war that has killed over 13,000 people. so this pushback from the auschwitz we see im really underscores how erroneous these are from putin. >> you also have another piece for insider, that i found fascinating. how russias warned ukraine to crumble the post-world war ii system. and it shines uncomfortable night in gaps in the ...

This very special military operation, russia is at the moment, the rotating president of the united states emergency meeting council. so is overseeing a mission that russia provoked while overseeing a war. so is an amazing situation that highlights the dysfunction of the un, in many ways. and the inability of the body to prevent these types of actions. for russia to be overseen an emergency meeting on its own actions is just astounding. and this really does pose a major test for the west, and th...

S.w.i.f.t. that russian population has to feel the pain. why? because then they will be our allies in this war. because then they will feel putin -- they will make putin feeling that, okay, it has went too far, i have to stop because i will be ousted of the country, that he will be defeated in kremlin by his own population. i think that we have to make sure that russian population is our ally in their protests and in order to make that we need to make it really painful sanctions against russia. ...

Here for weeks so when i arrived i was reading the reports talking about 200,000 troops stationed on the northeast and southern borders of ukraine, when i ryan arrived here -- ukraine is an amazing metropolitan capital, its a truly incredible city, an amazing place, people here were very calm. when i arrived the juxtaposition between the mood on the streets and what you are reading on the news could not have been more different, my friends who are ukrainian i was having lunch with them, they wer...
