a breakthrough to too. and i can say that the telephone traffic we are carrying out with mr. putin and mr. zolensky is advancing in a positive direction. president zolensky has floated the possibility of adopting a neutral stance if it is guaranteed by third parties and put to a referendum. meanwhile, u.s. officials say russia is shifting its focus to try and cut off ukraine in the east. its hope of a quick invasion gone so the kremlin is remaining tight lipped. the fact that the face to face talks continue is important. but so far our policy is not to impart the details of the talks as russia continues its attacks. some are skeptical that the two sides can reach common ground. also raising concern, the wall street journal reports a russian billionaire and ukrainian peace negotiator suffered symptoms of a suspected poisoning earlier this month. allies emphasizing that any settlement must hold president putin accountable. we need to ensure that putin can never act in this aggressive w
an adviser to zolensky denies reports ukrainian negotiators were poisoned, adding that all members of the team are working normally in washington mouther rivera, fox news, metal and mason. although mr. biden says his weekend comments about vladimir putin was one of quote moral outrage, there are still concerns not just here in the states but abroad of a possible ripple effect stemming from that remark. the president s words continue to reverberate across capitol hill where many leaders like in europe, there are folks who really think that comment could complicate peace efforts for ukraine. spontaneous statement apparently was not written in his speech itself is damaging that . how does he in the future sit with vladimir where he s called for him to be removed? and it certainly makes more complex to try to end the conflict in ukraine. our goal is to get russia out of ukraine and to end that conflict. it s not regime change. that s a very good point. and joining me now is former
shows that they re winning further. but there s a lot of talk right now. griff s of this potentially being a false flag operation. i think we need to pay attention to that . right, because there is an issue behind the scenes here with these weapons coming in from the u.s. government on whether or not they are defensive weapons or offensive weapons. and so it would be in russia s best interests to claim this operation happened, you know, as a as a result of making it so more u.s. weapons don t enter that are on the offensive side. so i m not a conspiracy theorist, but i think we need to pay attention to that . that s really important. but in the end, it was in fact the zolensky ordering guys to go across the border and conduct strikes on these areas where missiles are coming across. that s good news tactically and only put solinsky in a greater negotiation when he goes to the negotiation table with and we did see the kremlin saying that they are going to strengthen their western defense
been here a month now, barely any of the u.s. government weaponizes mandatory and aid has made it the country. i ve got ukrainian commanders calling me personally asking, you know, where this stuff is. you know, they re asking us for help. i m witnessing this on the ground. so this aid is stuck in poland and people are playing games just like president zolensky that people are dying in your grip. there are real consequences to the humanitarian not coming in . the ukrainians need this these items now the war is being supported by nonprofit civilian groups, businessmen coming together and not the u.s. government. i i ve met guys throughout this country who are literally turning these factories into making take a little less or building armor plates with leftover material. they aren t even asking for payment. it s all free and they are getting these items to the front lines at great risk to themselves. we ve got pastas and church groups in here who are helping extract citizens. they re pu
on for eight years. so whatever happens in a certain situation, i it s hard for me to comment. we we are a country at war . we are attacked. words of president zelenskyy. great interview by our own bradberry. let s continue this conversation about some of what we just heard the latest developments in ukraine. we re joined by national security analyst our air emesh and former army special operations intelligence analyst and fox news contributor brett kovik. brad, let me start with you because you heard a nonanswer pretty much from zolensky about whether or not he ordered the helicopter attack into russia. what did you make of that gilinsky saying that , you know, i do not discuss any of my orders. was that a confirmation of sorts or a denial or you want to remain vague? you know, it s really hard to tell. frankly, i really hope that they did conduct this offensive operation because the tactically it just
