I think that's been a problem with putin for some time. he's been in an information bubble and the information that he does receive i would guess is pretty filtered. he's not getting a lot of bad news and in this situation, that's particularly critical. so i think president zelenskyy's got a point. >> i think so, too. what would it take for that bubble to burst? is there anyone in putin's inner circle who can actually get through to him with some serious, realistic information? >> well, i doubt it. i think the government people that are in positions of influence are in part of his inner circle...

Censorship in russia? >> i think we have consistently seen throughout putin's tenure this slow move to create more censorship. i would say i'm not surprised at this current moment given the way things have been going the last two weeks. i have been shocked and surprised things have gone this far. that putin has invaded ukraine. i think so many people never thought it would get to this point. now i fear this is just the beginning of even more draconian measures happening inside of russia. what putin is trying to do is essentially take all of the oxygen out of the room and choke out the informat...
