documents case. what special counsel jack smith did about it today. also tonight, record rain and floods in the northeast, we ll tell you who s about to get hit next. good evening, vladimir putin may be one of the most secretive russian leaders since joseph stalin. tonight, we re taking you inside his secret armored train. this on a day that russia and the war in ukraine is very much in the news. president biden has arrived in lithuania for the nato summit when the u.s. and allies will discuss efforts to obtain vladimir putin s aggression. as for biden, we ll be meeting with ukraine s president zelenskyy whose attendance had been in question until late today. both expected to be on the agenda and top the agenda. also today. turkey dropped objections to sweden becoming a member, and stockholm in turn appears to be supporting turkish membership in the european union. according to turkey s state run news agency. complete the succession to nato is a historic step that benefit

could somehow try to leverage them to get what he wants. so he s been doing this for years. he s been trying to separate nato allies, trying to separate the west from other western countries. that is what putin is good at. and right now he s watching to see how much room he has to maneuver, i think. steve one more question to you, put on your cia hat if you would for us. when you hear that there are intercepted communications and that russian intelligence operatives are saying that this invasion would be much deadlier and worst and costlier than vladimir putin thinks, how is that possible? how could vladimir putin not know that? well, the world of russian security, russian intelligence services and russian advisers to the kremlin is a very byzantine one and there is a lot of different ways to message putin, whether you sit right next to him at meetings or whether or not your a low level person who doesn t necessarily have daily access to him.
