In estonia hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets. in solidarity with the people of ukraine. incredible to see. russia is feeling more isolated. eric: former eastern bloc countries refusing to play ball with vladimir putin as he inflicts this damage on a sovereign nation. reporter: one more thing. what it means the germans are sending those antitank missiles, when the russians invaded crimea in eastern ukraine six years ago, they were using rpgs that bounced off russian tanks lose these javelins will have a more devastating effect. these reports are true, 3000 russian soldiers are dead and dozens of takes destroyed, no question javelins can fire quickly, scamper and it goes through the russian armor and is devastating.
Is an interesting take. but you should keep this in mind. you and i know this and many many of maybe many of the viewers know this. russia was kicked out because they invaded crimea in eastern ukraine. there is a statement now saying since then we have seen malign activity from russia including in the streets of sals youbury in the u.k. before any conversations takes place about russia rejoining it needs to change its approach. that is from a senior government official. very interesting idea the president had there. not being warmly received as you can well imagine so far here in quebec. harris: well, russia has had a history, rather nasty one of illegally annexing the neighbors like crimea. that would be part of the problem. kevin corke, a lot for us to chew on. thank you very much. i want to bring in fox business network expert making money charles payne. let s talk about where we are with canada and france.
Still referring to what s happening in crimea in eastern ukraine as a separatist movement. it s not a separatist movement. it was an invasion of a sovereign country by russia. there are 920 tanks in eastern ukraine. there are more russian military officers in eastern ukraine than there are ukrainians. this is unacceptable and a violation of another country s sovereignty. the russians are using their latest and greatest tools and techniques and electronic warfare in eastern ukraine and we re seeing those tools and techniques exported to other parts of the world. vladimir putin recently floated the idea of having peace keepers come. well, this is not a conflict. it was an invasion. so if president putin wants to see the problem resolved, he should leave crimea and eastern ukraine. i m sure this is going to be a topic of conversation during the u.n. general assembly over the
This earth. we also have to show that if he did not move and stopped his nuclear weapons program, that we can create a secure environment in which he would stay. if he s looking at the rest of the world, he s probably looking to the example of ukraine where ukraine willingly gave up their nuclear weapons after the fall of the soviet union and they were supposed to have security assurances and what happened? russia invaded. nothing happened there. that is more of a long-term issue where we can prove that giving up nuclear weapons, that there are certain security assurances you can expect from the world community. also looking at muammar gaddafi who gave up his nuclear program and we know how he wound up. quickly, put on your hat as a former cia officer, congressman. what happens when the president of the united states ridicules kim jong-un and calls him rocket man?
Reporting, congressman, that white house officials, at least some of them, fear their colleagues may be wired, walking around with microphones to record conversations for the special counsel, bob mueller. that would be extraordinary if staffers in the white house were wired by the special counsel. what do you make of that? well, i think everyone is going to be suspicious because of the nature of the investigation. special prosecutor mueller obviously is onto something. the fact that he s still hiring people is an indication that there is work being done. i think everybody is going to be looking over their shoulders just because this is probably one of the most talked about and focused on investigations that we ve seen in the united states in america for a really long time. you just returned from a visit to ukraine, congressman. is russia still interfering in ukraine? what would you like to see happen? the russians are absolutely interfering in ukraine. unfortunately, some people
