rasmusine, the former prime minister of denmark. thank you so much for coming in. i want to start about what nick was talking about which was president zelenskyy signing a decree ruling out the possibility of negotiating with putin. he called it a impossibility of negotiations with him. do you think that is the right call to be making right now? yeah, actually, i support this declaration from president zelenskyy. it is incomprehensible to imagine a peace settlement on those conditions, demanded by russia. we have one thing to do, to deliver all of the weapons to ukraine so that they could win this war. they have the will to fight. it is our obligation to give them the means to fight. on putin s formalizing the annexation today, or trying to. you have said that nato did not
it certainly seems the dam is breaking right now. i have seen reports that a ticket out of moscow is going for about $9,000. over 1,000 arrests have been made. even see in putin s hometown of st. petersburg a referendum calling for him to resign because he s committing treason. this is pretty shocking, a pretty shocking turn of events in what largely has been an area where we have seen putin controlling the message within russia. want your reaction to something senator lindsey graham said about these protests in russia. i want to play for you part of what he said. do we have that? s this is the beginning of the end for putin. he s asking people to die in a war they don t want to fight. he s destroying the russian economy. he s destroying the russian military.
there s going to be a pushback and it s just a matter of time they take him out because there s no way for russia to be a part of the family of nations under his leadership. so they are running out of soldiers. 300,000 people are going to be drafted against their will. the ukrainians are doing a hell of a here. if we just stick with ukraine. what do you think of that? are putin s days numbered, congresswoman? what has been so striking to me about this is the constant miscalculations that putin has made and i ve said this from, you know, the events leading up to the war and throughout this war. so i again and again and again said putin was miscalculating the strength of the ukrainian resolve. he thought this would be much like 2014. but as i went to ukraine, we stopped in brussels first and i have never seen our nato allies more aligned with us, the
military that can really combat the strength and determination of the ukrainian forces. and now that we re seeing at resolve at home break down for putin, he s avoided conscripting military members from, you know, really the homeland. he s done it from regions outside of russia, proper, more of the regional territories, and he s tried to keep the if you will, middle class russians out of this. now with this announcement of the 300,000 conscriptions, you know, the resolve at home has broken. the resolve on the ground has long been a huge problem for russian military members. it does seem as if this is a real turning point and made in large part because of miscalculations on putin s part. congresswoman, it s always a pleasure to see you. i thank you very much for being with us. thank you so much for having me. still ahead, protests intensify in iran after the death of a woman who was in the custody of the morality police.
