As a leader to rally the world behind him as his troops do to killing russians. so he is very intelligent. obviously his actor background understands how to talk to an audience, and he s capitalizing that and leveraging it to great, great fulfillment in the mission. he s setup for himself and his people. thank you both very much. i appreciate it. and next zelenskyy says american help is not charity. it is an investment. so how much of an investment does zelenskyy want the u.s. to make? let s speak an to america who s been advising the commander in chief of the american forces. plus biden says his meeting sends a critical message to putin. so will the russian president ruretaliate or is it all hot air? and the january 6th committee tonight releasing dozens of transcripts from witnesses. this happened amidst the speech. they reveal what mike flynn, roger stone and others told the committee.
Effort to show himself as human and rulinable i think is good for local politics, and politics is local. he came here with high expectations and high stakes. he has to challenge the messaging that the russians are trying to use and amplify that this is america s battle, we have more to lose by being in it. and what he s trying to convey that this really is our war and this is part of what putin seeks to do, which is much broader and about coming to the west about trying to reverse the fortunes that he believes the west took away from russia. i want to play a moment from the press conference earlier today with president biden just in terms of when you re talking about what his goals are here, that he needs continued massive support from the united states. let me just play this. can we make a long story
Part of what putin seeks to do, which is much broader, and really is about coming out to the west for his effort to try to reverse the fortunes that he believes the west took away from russia. and general, i want to play a moment from the press conference earlier today with president biden. just in terms of when you are talking about, what his goals are, that he needs continued massive support from the united states. let me just play this. maybe i sound naive, but can we make a long story short and give ukraine all capabilities that it needs, and liberate all territories around it sooner than later, thank you. his answer is yes. i agree. general, that was that sort
That he has been asking for. today the u.s. announcing it will deliver its patriot missile systems to ukraine, part of a nearly $2 pillion aid package. and earlier during a press conference with president biden, zelenskyy and biden were both asked whether ukraine could receive the tools and weaponry needed, the amounts needed to actually defeat putin. his answer is yes. i agree. you can hear the laughter. it may have felt a little odd. it certainly did to me. it is in a sense an awkward laughter. it is no joking matter. this is the reality. it is the u.s. arming and providing zelenskyy with what he needs to defeat and fight putin. and today putin was adamant russia will not back down, insisting he s just begun
The same person who by the way said if the u.s. provides patriots to ukraine it s a legitimate target for all of nato he met with xi jinping in beijing. they talked about the war in ukraine. of course they don t use that word. china following russia s lead does not call the invasion a war at all. joining me now democratic senator chris koons who sits on the foreign relations committee. you were there in that room tonight where president zelenskyy came in, that emotional entrance. he referenced a peace plan that he discussed with president biden. and, you know, do you know any details about what this is? do i know any details about his discussion with president biden? no. but i know that he gave an electrifying speech. there was as your screen is showing rounds and rounds of
