On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The White House stated it’s open to holding more talks “in close coordination with our allies,” while adding it “is prepared for every scenario.” In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia is ready for security talks with the U.S. and NATO and is pulling back some troops. Senator Thom Tillis says, "Millions of people are at risk. He's holding them hostage in order to negotiate with NATO. That has to stop." And, Republicans are holding up extending government funding, due to run out on Friday. Although Russia claims it is removing troops from the Ukraine border, NATO says it has seen no evidence of this. Former CIA Covert Operations Officer and CEO of Portman Square Group, Mike Baker, joins to share what he thinks is really going on and whether he expects to see a de-escalation of this situation.
