If their troops are stealing food and medicine and supplies that are supposed to be helping refugees, that tells me that they’re not properly supplied with food and medicine, because they have to steal it.

He is losing and destroying the country, at least the parts that he’s after, which -- interesting, Joy, the parts he is really destroying are in the east, are next to Russia. These are Russian-speaking people.

What gets him to sit down at the negotiating table? And I think the answer is when he understands, when he realizes, when he’s made to understand that he’s losing on the battlefield, that he’s not winning, that his troops are not doing…

I think it had a big effect right from the beginning. The President Putin again divorced from reality probably thought that the Ukrainians would not fight hard, he probably thought that Ukrainian -- well we know he thinks that the…

Mr. President, President Putin, you could jeopardize your own regime. You could have destabilization. You could have -- he even said the word, uprising.

NATO can increase the flow of weapons. The Ukrainian military, as you said, as Admiral Stavridis said, they’re fighting heroically and with great vigor and they are spending a lot of weapons. They need more.

That speech by President Putin was not only lies, it was hatred.

It`s horrifying. It is discouraging. It is enraging. It is just hard to believe that this is happening in the country, unprovoked attack on these civilian targets. It`s beyond description that we could have this going on at this point. It…

What`s not clear is the other side. The Russians are going through the motions. The Russians pretend. Maybe the Russians are even sincere. But until President Putin makes the decision to negotiate, then this is not going to go anywhere.

You are -- the Ukrainians are showing what it means to defend themselves, defend their sovereignty, defend their freedom.

One of the things that this whole discussion of banning Russian exports of oil and gas, one of the things that shows is the strong bipartisan support here in Washington.

If the Russians are not getting the revenues, from that oil and gas? That does affect them. That affects their ability to do two things. One is fund their military, which is already a major strain, on their economy.

That is -- that’s history. And that’s Ukrainian history. It is not Russian history.

It`s a tribute to the Ukrainian military and Ukrainian people that they are holding out, fighting fiercely. They are following their president, President Zelensky, who stepped up to lead this nation.

President Zelensky will continue to resist. The nation, the Ukrainian nation will continue to resist whatever President Putin has sent in there, and they will succeed.

He wants to be the great Russian leader who brings back Ukraine into the Russian world, into the Russian empire, into the former Soviet Union space.

He’s not going to do anything reasonable. He’s sending a former minister of culture to these talks, whereas the Ukrainians, President Zelensky sent his defense minister and one of his chief lieutenants and his party to these talks.

President Zelenskyy has stood up. And you’re right. He has led his country. He has gotten his whole country behind him.

The people, the Ukrainian people, are so proud, of their soldiers, of their heroes.

This approach, Chris, let’s be clear, this is an invasion. President Biden was very clear about what constitutes an invasion. And it’s when a soldier or a tank, or a missile or an aircraft goes across the border into sovereign territory of…

I think now is the time, John to put full sanctions harshly on President Putin, the people around him and sadly, the Russian people. This is going to hurt as Steve has just said, the President has been very clear about how these are…

I imagine that President Putin is surprised, dismayed, unsettled by the strong reaction that he`s getting from a range of people on the other side of his border, that is President Zelensky in the first instance.

The last price, not the last but, one of the other big prices that President Putin will pay if he invades is the potential for unrest in his own country.

Putin has done the opposite of what he is interested in doing, which is he has united Ukrainians, certainly the military and united the civilians on east and west, no matter what language they speak, he has united them against him.

They've got demands, as your report just indicated that are untenable, that they're that are not serious that will violate principles that NATO, and the United States, and Europeans have lived by, which is a principle of sovereignty.
