putin sees it that way that he will not use this as an escalatory president biden: i don t care what he thinks. he will do what he is going to do. harris: president biden claims it does than matter what putin thinks. a former kgb agent says it matters. every time our president makes a personal attack on vladimir putin, i cringe because putin is paranoid. in his mind now it makes no sense to negotiate whatsoever because he will be hunted down come peace. harris: a wall street journal op-ed agrees with this quote biden at the improv. ukraine and the dangers of foreign policy by open mic. gerald baker says what if someone takes seriously his talk of u.s. troop deployment or regime change in russia?
happening in mariupol. a ukrainian missile hit a russian tank but it may be too little too late. the mayor there says the city essentially is under russian control. he says at least 5,000 people have died there. anyone left inside the city has to get out. alex hogan is live for us in lviv in western ukraine. what turned out to be a new target for russian forces a couple of days ago. alex. hi, we know the negotiations wrapped up after about five hours in turkey and russians say they won t meet again tomorrow. this has concluded this round of conversation. russia says that it will strategically move more of their troops out away from the capital of kyiv, which is something that we have seen them moving and shifting more of their troops to the eastern part of the country. the words were backed up earlier by the russian defense minister who underlined their
key goals. the liberation of donbas, ukrainian armed forces suffered considerable damage. air superiority was achieved. the air force and air defense network were practically destroyed. near that contested area of donbas russian troops have taken over the city of mariupol and the mayor urging people to flee. 150,000 people are still trapped. 5,000 residents have died in the last month according to the mayor s office since russian s invasion. further to the southwest of the country, there is an entry point to the black sea nikolai. if seized that city would cut off ukraine from much of its coast. an explosion there blasted a hole in a nine story government building. we have now learned at least seven people died in the blast today. most people managed to escape.
operation warp speed. i talk about this and others have talked about it. that s what we need right now with our oil and gas companies. we need something that will get them as you say subsidies, whatever it takes to get them on the same page with the support of the white house. it doesn t appear we ll get that. right. harris: fox business anchor. finish your words. i was going to say we have the supplies here. under president trump we were pumping 13 million barrels of oil a day. we have it here. we need to incentivize exploration for new wells and let companies produce it. why shouldn t we profit off this crisis we re seeing overseas when it comes to reducing europe s dependence on russia for energy? harris: a great question we need to ask the white house that. maybe they ll put that on the president s cheat sheet list to answer. i m not being facetious unfortunately. thank you for being in focus. florida governor ron desantis
felt the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man. just brutality. i want to make it clear i wasn t then or now articulating a policy change. i was expressing the moral outrage i feel and make no apologies for it. harris: the biden gaffe this time could have major global consequences. this is not a game. this is real history involving two nations that between them have around 11,000 nuclear weapons and involving a dictator who has to right now feel deeply paranoid. he has always assumed that the united states wanted to destroy the russian system. now he has had biden sort of blurt it out at least as seen by putin and i think that this is extraordinarily dangerous. harris: wow. it is clear the white house and president have not been on the same page. so they handed him one. a page, that is. we managed to get a glimpse of
