Within the past hour or so, he confirmed actually reports that weve heard before that the kremlin was engaged in an negotiation to possibly free Alexey Navalny in the days before he finally died in an arctic penal you know, colony, a death by the way, that Vladimir Putin described as a sad event. Take a listen for mr. Navalnys passed away. Some colleagues told you that they were not members of the administration some people said that there is an idea to change mr. Navalny for some people who are in prison in western countries, you can believe me or you can choose not to. The person who spoke to me. You have not finished his sentence. Yes. I said i agree but unfortunately, what happened happened, we would exchange him i said and you pay only on one condition that he doesnt come back from the go. Let them sit there. Thats all that happens. What can we do about it . Well they, have it paula. A pretty interesting description of the negotiations that went on, apparently behind the scenes to free an in navalny before he died in his penal colony, the supporters of the late opposition leader, by the way, save the the kremlin leader that putin killed, Alexey Navalny at something the kremlin denies as part of her Ongoing Campaign to silence critics and opposition inside russia, that opposition has been further silence with the result of these elections. Are still coming through to us now, it seems that most of the votes counted Vladimir Putin has got the vast majority, well over 80 of the votes that were cast for, cast for Vladimir Putin as the kremlin leader. Further tightens his grip on power in russia and Putin Tonight also mentioned the various court cases facing former President Trump what did he say yeah, he did your right. He was of course, confronted with criticism of the undemocratic nature of the russian election. And he lashed out of that criticism, citing to take a swipe at the us president ial debate and the various Court Cases InvolvingPresumptive Republican nominee and former president donald trump. He basically said that it was undemocratic to use administrative resources like the courts to attack a president , a candidate for president of the United States. And he said that basically when it comes to the electoral process many western countries in particularly United States, are not democratic at all, but of course, despite that side swipe by the russian president s his Landslide Victory in this president ial election in which no opposition candidates, by the way, were even allowed to stand i was raised questions about democracy in russia and thats the concern of outside observers at the moment matthew chance. Thank you and for more on this. I want to bring in an apple bomb staff writer from the atlantic and i want to get your reaction to what youre hearing from Putin Tonight. Somebody usual things that weve seen at this point look with this Landslide Victory, no real opposition. Do you think that putin feels invincible so let me begin first by questioning use of the word election to describe what happened. Putin likes to use the forms of democracy as a way of legitimizing his regime in fact, hes, hes running russia illegally he was meant to have served two terms as president. Hes done that already. Hes already broken the constitution. Hes already illegally in power. Its not an election, its, there are no other candidates on the ballot who are actual opponents. People vote really in order to show that theyre upstanding citizens because they may be afraid not to vote. They may have repercussions in their jobs if they dont vote. Its not an election in any sense of the word at all. And the purpose of orchestrating it that way is for someone who is clearly in secure at some level about his power to orchestrate to create a show of approval that gives him justification. Remember it wasnt it was only a few months oh, really that he we we saw a an armed uprising against putin from prigozhin, from one of his, if Gaining Prigozhin who was a general who Ran A Mercenary group that was part of his army, part of his invasion of ukraine. And that was, that was the first time weve seen anything like that in russia in many, many years. So hes clearly nervous. Hes clearly worried. He clearly felt the need to create this enormous and bizarre show i just dont think that is the sign of someone whos very confident but do you think that this could empower him to not only continue as war in ukraine, but also potentially to invade other Eastern European countries. You know if hes going to do that, its not because of this manipulated event that were pretending is an election. Look, hes going to continue his war until hes not able to fight it anymore and hes very worried about not being able to fight it anymore, which is why hes using every piece of influence does that he can, for example, to block american aid to ukraine, to block european aid to ukraine he, he, he, he, the russians have friends, they have contacts in washington. Theyre doing their best to use propaganda on social media to convince people that ukraine cant win and so on. They have a whole series of narratives that they use to persuade americans that the war is unwinnable. But of course he knows better. Russia has lost in the last few months Something Like 10 of its oil refining capacity. Because of ukrainian drones, the Ukrainian Russian Naibe has been pushed and pushed out of the western part of the black sea theyre not moving, they should be moving forward on ukraine has far less ammunition that it did at this time last year. And yet theyre not moving very fast. Theyve lost 300,000 people who are dead or wounded its not award thats going well for them so i mean, obviously if theyre able to keep fighting it, if they are able to when if theyre able to Hoodwink Americans into persuading them theres no point in helping you cry and then they eventually, ukrainians could run out of weaponry would they go forward after that . Yes absolutely. They say so all the time in russian propaganda is the former russian president medvedev, has recently put up a map but russia that shows russia occupying most of whats now ukraine. They talk all the time about invading other countries. But part of this is a show for their own people. And its a way of scaring us. They want us to be afraid. Theyre going to escalate to make us anxious. And what theyre really afraid of, what the russians or moos mr. Afraid of, is that congress will pass the bill that gives aid to ukraine that will enable ukraine to continue fighting and eventually to win the war. I also want to ask you about navalny. Not only did putins say his name, but also said that he was open to a prisoner exchange. What do you make it that so we know there had been conversations about prisoner exchanges. Theyve gone on actually for a number of years. I dont i dont have any inside information about how close they really were to completion. I know that some people around navalnys think that the two things. One, the fact that it was, it was now being seriously discussed and the fact of these elections, those were actually the causes of his death. The reason why he was murdered right now was to prevent that exchange from happening two dash, everybodys hopes. And also to prove somehow to russians that there is no possible opposition that they cant. Theres no point in opposing putin. You know, what do you need . Needs to do to stay in power is to eliminate any idea of succession that there could anyone could replace him. That theres any alternative for russia. You wants people to believe this is the only thing that they can have. The only kind of russian than they, of course thats not true and by, by dismissing navalny or by pretending in that it was some kind of weird accident hes simply hes hes covering up what really happened. And applebaum, thank you. Thank you. And desperation on chaos in haiti tonight, after a unicef container carrying essential items for newborn babies and their mothers was looted in the capital portauprince. Now, armed groups have control over 260 containers in haitis biggest port this comes as guatemala says, its console, and haiti was ransacked and cool an act of vandalism. Cnns david culver is live on the scene in portauprince. David, what are you seeing their tonight on the ground . Hi there, paula. Yeah, we wanted to get a sense today of some of the Human Suffering that is playing out here in haitis capital city. And as we try to move out and about, i mean the logistics in the planning from a Security Perspective are quite tedious so we tried to figure out each morning how were going to go a certain route just because it can change by the hour, if not by the minute, but we were able to go to one area. It was quite striking to us and that is but was a school and now has become a Refugee Camp People who are refugees in their own city. And this one place that we went to stood out to us because its been more than a week since theyve had food brought in. They have no running water, nothing clean for them to be able to drink and bay then and theyre septic tanks are overflowing. And this gives you a quick sampling of what their life is like right now so this was a school here in portauprince, haiti and every single classroom that we pass like this one here, has now become a dorm room. Is there are dozens, if not hundreds of people . Oh, made this a recent campsite and you talked to a lot of these folks and theyve come here in the past couple of weeks because of the most recent surge in violence and gangs taking more and more territory tori here in the city but these folks have also been on the run from their own home for months, if not years one woman told me its been well over two years since youve been in her own house and she said gangs took over her community, killed her husband and forced her family to find a new home so essentially, paula, people like that have had to go from campsite to campsite even in that school, they have essentially had to figure out how to make do with not only the gangs and oftentimes will put pressure on them, but sometimes the folks who are living in that community who suddenly have new neighbors who they certainly didnt want there as theyre all dealing with constrained amount of resources and trying to figure out how to live amongst each other. But it gets violent and it gets contentious at times. And you mentioned that unicef container because its not about just trying to get things to portauprince, right . The containers are at the port several miles behind where i am and its about and then getting them from that location to distribute them within places. Portauprince, like where we visited and thats the challenge and thats where the gangs have really taken such a strong hold that the logistics of getting around many of Those Roadblocks Arrow next to impossible at time. So thats the holdup for a lot of the folks who are in that situation. That is just absolutely desperate, waiting for some help to your point about the logistics of getting help this weekend, we saw the first flights of a Un Air Bridge to help get humanitarian aid into haiti from the dominican republic. How did that go . And will there be more potentially . But this is crucial and so theyre trying to ramp up more of these Helicopter Transports and what it was initially yesterday with two helicopters that came in with mostly people, so they had the folks who were going to be replacing some of the folks here who im needed to switch out or people who can just help with some of the strategic aspects on the ground. What they really need to be bringing in are the medical supplies that we know caitlin was too. Right. So were just confirmed Senior Editor caitlin hu here, that there have been two transports of that Un Air Bridge helicopter coming in today, bringing in that much needed medical supplies. But again, paula, they come in, then the challenge starts on the ground and that can take many days to figure out how to get it to where it needs to be what can you tell us lastly, about American Citizens still stuck in portauprince yes. So you do have folks who obviously have been either volunteers who are missionaries or here for businesses and yes, many of them happened to be american. And right now the us embassy is coordinating and trying to arrange flights out of paper he should, which is about 130 miles or show for where we are. So imagine from where you are in dc going up to philadelphia, the thing is its not a simple as driving. Certainly you cant fly the airports closed. But if you were to try to hit the road, you would hit gang after gang, after gang after gang. And so its next to impossible to get to those locations from here, paula david culver.
