00:00when they hear of President Trump saying that Patriot missile systems, perhaps offensive weapons
00:04as well, are going to be sent to Ukraine. And he's being sort of treated and seen and portrayed a bit
00:10more as a sort of warmongering figure. And that's something that's reflected. It sort of comes from
00:15state media, but it's also reflected back on state media as well. One little caveat is that there's a
00:22lot of discussion in Russia, in the newspapers and on television, controlled by the Kremlin,
00:27about how this is all really being controlled by NATO, by Europe and the Ukrainians. They're
00:33sort of forcing or influencing President Trump to do this. And so it kind of leaves the door
00:39slightly open for President Trump to be rehabilitated in the eyes of Russians in the future.
00:57I'll see you next time.
01:03well really uh erin this was all uh precipitated by the the call that trump had with putin
01:33the the day before and from what we understand it went very badly from from trump's perspective he
01:39was very unhappy with with putin who basically told him that you know he wasn't interested in
01:44the various deals that trump has tried to put on on the table sending his envoy steve steve
01:50wyckoff to to meet putin several times and he was going to press on press on with with his offensive
01:56and uh keep uh pushing to win the the war the the invasion of the ukraine that he started three
02:02years ago until he achieves what he refers to as the uh you know the initial goals have all been
02:08accomplished and uh this this seems to have uh frustrated trump so much that he that he called
02:14selensky but the very next day and that is what led to to this to this announcement so what you're
02:18really seeing is uh months of uh gradual frustration building up uh you know that trump had with with
02:26putin to the point where uh it was just a few months ago it looked like the u.s was taking
02:31russia's side in in the war and now it's uh uh agreed to arm ukraine to cause more more pain to
02:38russia it's a real complete 180 from from trump and it seems to have been triggered by his personal
02:43relationship with putin going sour which is fascinating um i guess of you know the uh the great
02:49man theory of history uh that it is their personal relationship that could have turned this if it
02:53turned general i mentioned those those missiles that could go uh just over 200 miles that would
02:58put 30 russian air bases within striking distance of ukraine that obviously would be dramatic in and
03:02of itself uh that doesn't even assume that they would get those offensive weapons that would allow
03:08them to strike as far as moscow or saint petersburg what would such weapons do to this war
03:13well i imagine uh aaron that the ukrainians would go after um those factories that make the shaheed drones
03:24they would go after airfields from which russian aircraft take off and launch kenzal missiles against
03:31innocent ukrainian civilians this is the the concept of killing the archer instead of trying to intercept all
03:38the arrows so if you can hit the place from which these attacks originate that's much more efficient
03:44than trying to shoot down hundreds of drones every night so i like that analogy the archer not not the
03:51arrows alina we heard uh russian state tv julia javis had highlighted the clip right where uh solovov says
03:58already this is nuclear war basically trump can say that he's not the one saying this but we know that's
04:03lies america this happens we're going nuclear um and one of another one of putin's top tv propagandists
04:10alexander sladkov posted on social media and i quote him alina trump's trying to scare us with missiles
04:16it is trump who should be scared everyone is trying to push us to turn kiev and lviv which is in western
04:22ukraine into hiroshima and nagasaki so alina all i mean this is there's no ambiguity here there's no i mean
04:30it's straight to nuclear war and hiroshima and nagasaki why are we hearing those nuclear threats
04:36right now well erin i think it's very obvious why we're hearing those is because even though
04:41publicly russian officials are pretending they don't care what the u.s president says or what
04:45the united states does in its support for ukraine or putting economic pressure on russia of course they
04:51care and one telltale sign for that is when we see these kinds of nuclear threats that are being
04:57funneled through russian state media the favorite propagandists you just mentioned
05:01it means that inside the kremlin they feel very insecure and very uncertain about what the united
05:07states might do and i think they feel like they are probably misplaying their hand with president trump
05:13where they had a huge opportunity to probably strike a deal and they've missed out on that and
05:18now they're probably afraid that president trump will take action this time and i think this is a good
05:23thing so max when you talk about uh that you know the relationship between trump and putin going sour
05:30is perhaps what sparked this seeming 180 turn um there was another thing trump said today that stood
05:35out i wanted to give you a chance to put some context on it he said okay sure 50-day deadline but he's on
05:40quote unquote nobody's side i mean how do you interpret that max i mean obviously just to be clear here
05:48there is a side that invaded ukraine and caused the largest land war in europe since world war ii and
05:53has fought it unrelentingly ever since right that is the side of putin so when putin hears uh he's on
05:59nobody's side does that mean anything to him i think it just shows to to putin that trump's approach to this
06:09has been really really chaotic and it's not been been very clear to to anybody throughout this process what
06:16the u.s actually wants to accomplish other than just having you know any kind of deal just for the
06:22sake of saying that you have the deal and uh regardless of how how well it holds up we we saw
06:28that with the initial deal that uh steve wetkoff struck in in gaza which uh did did not exactly stand
06:35stand the test of time and uh for putin by contrast even though you you have uh these these two um
06:43leaders of your world historical significance and uh there's this great affinity between them uh putin
06:49is someone who is thinking very much in in the uh perspective of uh of history and uh great powers
06:56and uh this is what seems to have led him to decide that he was going to choose winning the war over
07:03trying to do some sort of uh rapprochement with with the us because uh you you see that trump is very
07:10unpredictable he can do a 180 on on a dime and uh what love rough said was was was not exactly
07:17inaccurate there and uh it it may only be around for for a few years whereas putin is thinking in
07:23terms of centuries uh in terms of what he wants to accomplish in ukraine right and and perhaps why
07:29even a peace deal on the terms that trump had offered him which was pretty much anything anyone
07:32would have thought he wanted wasn't good enough general hodges i know that two weeks six months 50 days
07:39who knows what it is but right now it's 50 days how much damage can putin do in 50 days given where the
07:44war is well we you're seeing tonight right now uh what they can do and you know this attack tonight
07:53is another example of how little respect uh the kremlin has for the united states and for the
07:58administration uh and and so when our president says you know in 50 days uh then putin hears okay i've
08:07got seven weeks where i can do whatever the hell i want not worry about sanctions or anything happening
08:13and knowing it'll probably get kicked down the road again as well so um 50 days i mean imagine ukrainian
08:20civilians getting killed every night for the next now seven weeks and the problem aaron is that these
08:28policies these dates these numbers these weapons none of them are connected to a strategy the president
08:36is repeating the same mistake that the last president made which is to they are not clearly
08:41identifying the objective what is it what is it we're trying to accomplish in ukraine negotiations are
08:47not an end state a ceasefire is not an end state what are we trying to accomplish and of course it should be
08:53the instinct should be that russia lives inside its own borders all right so alina when uh lavrov says
09:00talking about the the how the time frames keeps changing we've been through all this and mediev says
09:07russia doesn't care but it sounds like they do care well they absolutely care uh the united states uh for
09:15the kremlin for mr putin has been you know enemy number one uh since putin basically came to power so
09:21there's no question uh to my mind and i think to to most people that everything the united states does is
09:27watch very very closely and i think when lavrov makes that comment you know he's not just talking
09:31about trump and uh you know the inconsistencies that we've seen with this president various issues
09:36he's talking about the full scope of u.s presidents where we have you know reset here we have uh you know
09:44more of a assertive response there and it's just constant back and forth and i think the truth is that
09:49we haven't had a policy or strategy on russia for a very very long time since basically the end of the
09:55cold war and putin's sitting back and he says you know next time i'll have a different guy and uh
10:01i'm still gonna be here exactly to max's point
10:07massive attack underway in ukraine so far we understand at least 17 explosions in a matter
10:14of minutes 17 explosions across the city one of the largest cities in ukraine tonight according to
10:21officials there most of the strikes targeting a civilian area in kharkiv the attack coming is
10:27stunning new details are emerging about a phone call a phone call between president trump and
10:33zelensky now it is the financial times that obtained much of this information and they are reporting that
10:38trump asked zelensky on this call this is what the ft says volodymyr can you hit moscow can you hit
10:45st petersburg too the ft says this is according to multiple people familiar with the call sources who
10:51tell the ft that zelensky then responded absolutely we can if you give us the weapons now people briefed
10:58on the call which took place one day after trump spoke to putin said that trump spoke about quote
11:05making the russians feel the pain so with all of this trump of course was asked about this today
11:11here's what he's saying publicly should the lens target moscow or deeper and commercial he shouldn't
11:19target moscow all right well that's what he's saying publicly privately of course could be a different
11:25matter sources tell cnn that despite trump's public comments he has not ruled out giving zelensky
11:31new offensive weapons offensive weapons that ukraine has long requested and previously been denied like
11:36joint air to surface standoff missiles now those missiles perhaps not the range for moscow or saint
11:42petersburg but they do go about 230 miles and what that would do for ukraine is put possibly 30 russian
11:51additional air bases 30 at risk so russia tonight is responding and they're responding by going right
11:58there all the way to the jugular as they have done in other moments of great tension and that is by
12:04threatening nuclear retaliation listen to this clip from state television russia that was uncovered by
12:09the journalist julia davis she closely monitors russian propaganda here's what she found
12:18right now they're considering giving them long-range weapons that can strike moscow and st petersburg
12:24what is trump doing he says it isn't me
