"This is going to be a long, drawn-out struggle," Watters added, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin is making life "as miserable as possible for the Ukrainian people."

"But now, Russia is increasingly targeting civilians, seeking to make this conflict as grim and as bloody as possible, as they attempt to destroy the morale of the Ukrainian people."
Outside of Ukraine, Russia is reportedly seeking to create an anti-fascist conference with China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other countries to form what Watters dubbed "a legion of doom."
