tonight. ac 360 starts now. not since the cold war has the conflict since the russia and west has been to sharply drawn in dueling speeches three days before the anniversary of russian s invasion of ukraine, and a day after the president of surprise visit to kyiv. kiev one year ago the war was bracing for the fall of kiev, i just come from a visit to kiev and i can report kiev stands strong. kiev stands proud. it stands tall. and most importantly it stands free. speaking today in warsaw, the capitol, the president pledged unflagging support from nato which joined in 199 and commitment to ukraine one year into this war, putin no longer doubts the strength of our coalition. but he still doubts our conviction. he doubts our staying power. he doubts our continued support for ukraine. he doubts nato can remain unified, our support for ukraine will not waiver, nato will not be divided and we will not to tire. the president accused russia of creating crimes against human
i think the president understands and certainly those worked with nato understand the nato unity is a key factor here, we ve got to move forward together. got to get the different perspectives harmonized and make these decisions step-by-step. how unified do you think the american people are on this or at least the politicians? there have been polls the past few weeks shown softening support for sending more money and military equipment to ukraine, especially among republicans. anybody grew up with ronald reagan, it s kind of stunning to see the support among democrats versus republicans for u.s. involvement in the war in ukraine this is what happens when you lack leadership. so on foreign policy, american people generally are willing to either go to war or give aid or support our allies in war as long as somebody stands in front of them and makes the case for
how does the white house feel the president speech went over pretty good given president biden s speech. they seem to think he set out what he came to do. which is one warn that democracy is at stake at a global scale and two, to reiterate the support for ukraine that it is unwavering not going away and will be here for as long as it takes but he used this speech to push back on putin pretty forcefully especially just hours after we heard from the russian leader blaming the west for conflict happening in ukraine saying that s why that is happening, president biden saying that s obviously not the case, patently not true, if putin decided tomorrow to end the war, he could. but that s not what s happening, seemeded two speeches vastly different world views. only thing they seem to agree on is that this is not likely to end any time in the near future. what s been the reaction to

i guarantee you prosecutors are wining this i was wining. it s painful in that respect. that s a serious prospect here, we re talking about indicting any person, potentially taking away that person s liberty. talking about potentially a former president for the first time in this nation of history, she does not seem to be taking that seriously. there s no reason for her to be talking. , no it s a prosecutor s nightmare. mark my words, donald trump s team is going make a motion if there s an indictment to dismiss that indictment based on grand jury impropriety, she s not supposed to be talking about anything, but not supposed to be talking about the deliberations. she s talking about what specific witnesses they saw, what the grand jury thought of them. she said some of them we found credible, some we found funny. i don t know why that s relevant but she s been saying we found this guy funny or interesting. i think she s potentially crossing a line here that will be a problem f
