plan of conquering ukraine in two or three days failed. i think putin s original plan was based on a false assessment of strengths, russian strengths and ukrainian strengths. he believed that he could enter kyiv in two or three days, install a puppet government, and then back to the negotiate s table with the free world about conditions of ukrainian capitulation. it didn t work out. and since his armies stopped and couldn t make any progress in the north of ukraine, there s some progress in the south, but again, less than they wanted. the third largest city of ukraine, the harbor of odesa is still standing and russians failed to land the troops there. so putin returned to his favorite tactics. bombing people into submission. you mentioned grozny and aleppo. and he believes that now with nato watching this modern genocide, genocide on an
of attack by russian forces on agreed-upon humanitarian corridors. it is shameful. the world is saying to russia, stop these attacks immediately. let the food and medicine in. let the people out safely, and end this war of choice against ukraine. dana: calling out russia for its attacks on civilians despite a humanitarian cease-fire agreement. back to us with us today is a member of the ukrainian parliament and we re glad to have you back on our show. you say we can call you sasha, i shall do that. tell me what you think about the humanitarian corridors. we asked admiral kirby that at least two of those corridors would lead to belarus or back to russia. that was the main focus for negotiations with putin. it didn t work out. we keep asking for the third party country to step in and enforce the corridors.
coming? oh my goodness. china is now in front of its ceremonial parliament. this just happening. they re touting having a friendship with russia and calling it the most important strategic partner. you have told us for weeks this was going to be the deal. yeah, what is going to happen now is russia has china as the backup purchase for all of russian energy. the next thing is china looks at russia as the stalking horse what they want to do with taiwan. it didn t work out very well for putin but fighting the first war in the information social media age. so whatever sanctions the united states and other countries are putting on russia it s the private sector that s coming in. the credit card companies, the sporting goods companies coming in and saying no, we re going to isolate russia. it is a pariah nation. what military operations, it s
and the various weaponry. it didn t work out. i encountered them in the hours after they landed here. they held on to the airport for a day or so but there was a massive counterattack and they were forced out of the strategic air bases they had taken in the first few hours of this conflict. to get the supplies in, the forces around the city, the russians were left with no option but to do it through fields that were easily ambushed and this is the result of that method. i went to a column destroyed a few days ago and there were bodies everywhere, destroyed vehicles that were just sitting ducks on a bridge as it approached the northern limits of kyiv. almost exactly the same type of situation played out in brovary, are anderson. and the shelling we ve seen in mariupol, those images alisyn
to the negotiating table with the world. it didn t work out. and since his army s stopped and couldn t make any progress in the north of ukraine, some progress in the south, but, again, less than they wanted. the third largest city of ukraine, the hub of odesa, is still standing. and putin failed to land the troops there. so, putin returned to his favorite tactics, bombing people into submission. he mentioned aleppo. he mentioned genocide on a scale. so, he can continue these tactics. i think it is a message to the rest of the world. i can do whatever i want because i have nukes, and you will not interfere. i think it is dangerous for us to start this nuclear
