i m alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. the jury forewoman on that georgia special grand jury has a lot to say about former president trump and the investigation tonight. we definitely heard a lot about former president trump. and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. and i will say when this list comes out, you wouldn t, there are no major plot twist waiting for you. she should be saying all of that out loud? our experts will tell us. plus, president biden making a major speech, saying that russia will never win the war in ukraine, while president putin says it s impossible to defeat russia on the battlefield. so tonight, we ll look at the difference between what we see here in the u.s. and what the russian people see on their tv screens. and we have new reporting from cnn s about what nikki haley said about the civil war when she was running for governor south carolina, in an interview that included a board member of a white nationalist organization. i
speech when it happens. and andrzej duda bringing the president to the capital amid the ongoing war next to his country. and as i told president zelenskyy when we spoke in kyiv yesterday, ki proudly say that our support for ukraine remains unwavering. this is hours after vladimir putin delivered his own state of the union, state of the nation speech trying to blame the u.s. somehow for the war in ukraine and you remember of course, it is russia who invaded country a year ago today. and russia would suspend their participation in the new start nuclear weapons treaty as it is known, and russia is already not in compliance and the question is what this means going forward and will russia perhaps break the limit on nuclear warheads set by that treaty, and we begin in warsaw where president biden is going to speak. phil mattingly is there, and cnn national correspondent is there in hkharkiv, and this is not to be a response to putin s speech, and what is the president s mess
front of our freedom is right there in the donbas, right there in the south. so he goes there, and then he goes to warsaw, the country that s a frontline country, that next to estonia, is perhaps the most committed to helping ukraine. it was beautiful and it wasn t about just america, it was about poland to. he thanked the polish people again and again. and of course, he talked about the heroism of ukrainians. instead of letting putin frame the discussion the way the russians wanted it to be framed, which is that it s washington versus moscow, he made it clear this is the coalition supporting freedom, supporting ukraine, versus the autocrat. so, i thought the language was right, the moment was right, this was president biden and his very best. and i think like george herbert walker bush, who knew the exact right tone to use in 1989, biden is the right tone today. margaret? i could not agree more with
regain their sovereignty, and it is very important for president biden to continue the focus on ukrainian sovereignty. as you said, russia wants to make it is a existential threat to it, and it is all about russian sovereignty for pew tin, a putin, and you know and we all know, that it is about ukrainian sovereignty, and it is not in his interest to play putin s interest to be washington versus moscow, and he would love to have kennedy and khrushchev, but it is not. and that why this speech is not going to be a rebuttal to what president putin said, but tim, what should president biden say, if he is not going to talk about that, what should he focus his remarks on in an hour and half? why sovereignty matters, why
doesn t leave ukraine a broken state, in a position of semi frozen conflict in perpetuity and doing that the economic sanctions aren t going to succeed we need to raise the cost a little more. i m worried about the extent to which we are saying to vladimir putin there s no way out of this for you except forward. that said, noah, i will ask you, i m curious, should joe biden regardless of what we perceive as they crimes against humanity, should joe biden continue talking to vladimir putin? should he continue talking about a way out of this? because it only as the macron conversation made clear yesterday, it is only getting worse. yeah. i think we have established we have established a deconfliction channel directly with moscow, which is beneficial, and macron apparently has a personal line with vladimir putin.
