this is an innocent, sovereign country. not a perfect country. i have my criticisms of it -- this was an unauthorized invasion from this sovereign country. make no mistake. that's all the time we have left. our thoughts and prayers are with the people of ukraine. stay with fox news for continuing coverage. laura ingraham is next. have a great weekend. >> [gunshot] >> laura: i'm worm ingram, and this is "the ingraham angle." the president of russia is telling residents to prepare molotov cocktails. rifles are being handed out to

citizens who wish to fight. the casualties are mounting. we are going to have a fast-moving show tonight, we will speak to reporters on the ground at the ukraine and white house. also, the hidden hand behind this spiraling situation. how we got here, why we got here, and how do we emerge from here? first come alive to -- in kyiv for the latest on the battle for the ukrainian capital. what's the situation there? >> good evening. at this hour, the ukrainian capital of kyiv is under attack from multiple directions. less than half an hour ago on the other side of where we are staying, i recorded audio of the gunfire, erecting now in the downtown capital city. i will play it for you so you get a taste of what it sounds like tonight.

small arms fire up to and cross the city. russian forces are trying to make their way into kyiv. we know that the ukrainian president warned about this smaller offenses, amid a much larger invasion into the country of ukraine. the russian military violating the sovereignty of this country, launching that earlier this week. the president calling on everyone here, from civilians to the military, to stay and fight. i spoke with one member of parliament today. he had an ak with him, picked up from a local police station, and tomorrow will head to the front lines and fight the russians. we have heard a similar sentiment from people all across the city. while we speak, there is a curfew in place. we spoke with civilians earlier today, who are currently hiding in bomb shelters underneath the city in the metro system. the russians continue their air

campaign against this european capital. >> laura: thank you. we will have them on in a few moments. let's bring in peter doocy. the white house is asking congress, we understand, for billions of dollars in aid for ukraine. >> $6.4 billion, which they say will be for humanitarian assistance for ukraine and nato allies that they think might be in trouble with food and does not. also, for efforts to counter russia's cyberattacks and misinformation -- that is with what we know president biden promised -- they had a 40 minute phone call earlier today. on the call, biden promised humanitarian, economic, and security assistance, but we know that there is a limit to what the united states is offering the ukrainians. under no circumstances will

joe biden, while he is president, send american troops into ukraine to fight russians. they are going to send more troops to nato and nato forces have been activated for the first time to make sure that, if putin is going to take over ukraine, but that's where it ends. they have basically admitted that the sanctions that they have been focusing on so much are not meant to deter any more. they are meant to serve as financial punishment for putin now that he has decided to do this. we don't expect to hear anything from the president tonight. if there's a meeting in the situation room, it will take him a while to get there, because he is in wilmington, delaware, this evening. >> laura: is another case that we and other western nations are still buying oil and gas from russia? >> that is the case. it's also the case when you talk

to the national security team here that there is no plan in place, even on the horizon down the line, to sanction the russian energy industry because it would be so disruptive. just the sanctions they are putting on, some elites on potent -- prices are going to go up. they think they would skyrocket on everyday americans if they do that. it would hurt russia really bad, but they think it would hurt americans more, but no plans to do that. i talked yesterday -- we are there are -- our third-biggest supplier of oil every day. would joe biden give in order that american companies cannot import from russia anymore? she did not have anything to talk about there. >> i hope you get questions on the foreseeable future answered by the president.

this was not a inevitable. people inside the white house -- obviously extremely concerned about how ineptly they are handling this situation. those individuals leaked leaked information to "the new york times," which published the embarrassing details about the bidens team embarrassing at times and to woo china to help us avert war in ukraine. china chinese officials rebuffed the americans, u.s. officials got intel showing beijing had shared information with moscow, telling the russians that the united states was trying to sow discord, and that china would not try to impede russian plans and action. the very idea that the administration thought that they could get act in our interest is

delusional. that's the thinking of someone who knows literally nothing about the way our biggest adversary operates. yet, that has been the exact mind-set of biden's china point man for over a year now. >> china has produced unprecedented economic growth. china's partnership and leadership on this issue, extraordinary international consequence, is essential. it's imperative that we, the united states, the second biggest competitor and china and the rest of the world are all pulling together in the same direction in this critical effort. >> climate change! john kerry has been an embarrassment to the country since he returned from vietnam to condemn his fellow troops. this is just one more insult, this time with heavy consequences for america. china was never going to work with us on the climate, on ukraine. nothing that is not in itself interest.

perhaps, biden is now realizing this obvious fact, which would explain his deer in the headlights look when he was asked about it. >> are you urging china to help isolate russia? >> president biden: i'm not prepared to comment on that at the moment. >> laura: translation? "we tried that and it failed." it has backfired. china and russia now seem closer than ever. first, china refused to call what russia did in ukraine and invasion. then, they blamed us for the carnage unleashed. today, president xi personally offered support for russia on a call with putin. according to the reit don't migrate out, also expressed the importance of rejecting a cold war mentality, adding that he seriously respects the reasonable security concerns of all countries. the fact is china does not care about people being slaughtered in the ukraine or anywhere else. let's not forget: china funnels

enough funds in all into our country every year to kill hundreds of thousands of our citizens. they are committing, they crushed freedom in hong kong, and are now funding putin's conquest of ukraine by buying up their energy and even their wheat. in many ways, this was made in china, and the goal is to test the waters for an attack on taiwan. once xi things he can invade taiwan, he will. right now, there are steps that we could and should immediately take to stop that from becoming an inevitability, and make xi may be realized that he has underestimated the resolve and strength of america. these actions could make him think twice about further cooperation with russia. we need to gradually begin what will be a very painful process, but to decouple from china. it's not going to happen

overnight. it's going to require astute political leadership, determination, and consumer sacrifice on our part. this will include d linking our manufacturing on key technology, raising tariffs where necessary to preserve made in america, and canceling student visas. about 340,000 chinese students studying here right now. why are we training china's next generation, all of whom are approved to be here by the ccp? why are we training them in stem fields? at some point down the road, we know they are going to turn around and use what they have learned here against us or our allies. in order for america to regain our leverage with china and russia, which we need, we have to drop the notion that either will ever care about adhering to a rules-based international order that we keep here in blathering about. that is not just cooked up in

think tanks, later invoked by ignorant globalists like john kerry. you have to understand the long arc of chinese and russian history to understand that both putin and xi are both unfailingly ruthless and supremely nationalistic. meanwhile, they exploit weakness wherever they see it, whether it's financial or cultural. russia and china respect -- and this administration has shown them only weakness from day one. they only respect strength. once, we were a driver of our own foreign policy, but now under biden, we take cues from nations that don't necessarily share our national security priorities, like germany. we were once proud of, as a nation, to teach our children about the brilliance and sacrifice of our founders, but now in our schools, we teach them to hate our history and revile our richest traditions. this almost end.

rebuilding our economy requires becoming independent of despotic regimes, loving our country, and it means returning to the energy independence of the trump era. it's time for biden to exile john kerry to wherever he goes all year. as we just heard from peter doocy, congress is going to be getting a request for $6.4 billion in emergency funding for ukraine. they will have to print or borrow that money. questions about how exactly does money will be used to push back the russians or get humanitarian help alleviating ukrainian suffering, those questions must be raised now and answered. in other words, will spending this money be -- campaigning a house with a huge hole in the roof? >> the situation in ukraine is

heartbreaking and infuriating, but it was not inevitable. biden's weak presidency controlled by the climate change crowd helped create the tragedy unfolding in ukraine tonight. as long as china gives them financial cushions to block sanctions, putin is going to have his way no amount of american dollars spent in the ukraine will change that. that's the angle. joining me now is tennessee senator bill haggerty, who served on a senate foreign relations committee. you heard my conversation earlier with peter doocy. we are still buying an enormous amount of energy from russia. russia is attacking ukraine, and congress is going to be asked to spend the $64 billion that we are going to have to print or borrow to send it to ukraine.

we are paying every which way in this situation. >> my reaction is very simple. your discussion with peter underscored that we are funding the war machine that putin is unleashing on ukraine. think about the shortsighted green policies that the biden administration -- to wage war on the oil and gas industry here. that has come straight to vladimir putin, and here we are, continuing to defy these activities. putin has built up a war chest. this is where these policies have led to us. >> right now, senator, given the fact that russian troops have encircled the capital of kyiv, they are poised to bring in a lot more troops if necessary. what is biden going to do about it?

this is where we are now, but it's not like we are going to be able to push russia out, as long as china, which you have been terrific on the china question -- as long as china is getting another cushion to vladimir putin. >> what we've done is push russia closer to shine dominic china. put in a scene the weakness of the bai demonstration as -- nothing worse than when things ratchet up against us around the world. china is watching us closely. china and russia have been even closer through the process of this engagement. when you look at what the ccp must be thinking, they are eyeing taiwan very closely, want to see what the world's reaction is going to be. not working out well for the rest of the world, not for taiwan. strategically, our respects are much greater with taiwan. thinking about taiwan -- we could be in big trouble strategically of china decides

to take a move based on what they see happening here in ukraine. >> hillary clinton spoke on msnbc this morning this morning. she is praising the biden administration's response. >> first, i want to ask you what you think about president biden's response so far. >> it's been well executed they are. no doubt that we are not in a position just a few years ago to rally anybody, and then begin imposing sanctions that will ratchet up, and that's what he should be doing. >> i guess the litmus test tonight, we did not see any people falling out of airplanes on the way out of the ukrainian airfield. we have hundreds of thousands underground and subways in ukraine, and lord knows how many have already lost their lives.

>> they are taking credit for the sanctions. now, they -- the biden administration has been helpless in this. finally, they've come along to imposing sanctions, but a little late. it had no deterrent effect at this point. now, they are just going to punish it, and not to a good extent. >> senator, we appreciate your joining us. -- the ccp's latest actions that are affecting this entire situation. plus, we will bring in the latest of elements in ukraine coming here from a member of that countries parliaments, who, as peter doocy noted, is armed and ready to fight

>> believe that's a missile. >> kiev, ukraine, is under siege tonight. russian troops have entered the city. joining me now is a member of the training parliament and

former campaign advisor to president zelenskyy. you went viral for brandishing an ak-47, vowing to fight for your country. russian forces are now inside the city during what's next for you? >> what is happening everywhere is known kyiv. i hear plenty of shooting on the streets, and -- through parliament, who are joining the fight. yesterday, we were planning and bringing guns to try and give it to everyone who wants to join in the battle yesterday, we encouraged -- we pushed them out. we will not be indifferent, using the night to try and surprise. kyiv is a city of millions of people. they are fighting back, and have been for the last 48 hours. we are very confident about the

reality that everybody here wants to defend their country and city until the end. >> we understand that there are thousands upon thousands of your fellow countrymen who have made their way to make sure others are sheltered. we've seen the pictures from the underground, people taking their pets and as much food as they can carry. we also understand that internet has been cut, in large parts of the country, along with food shortages and gasoline shortages throughout the land as well. is that accurate? >> we are seeing occupation continue at a place where people are losing everything they have, we have seen plenty of civilian targets. there is no end of misery all around. can the reality of the missions -- coming in -- it's

hard to discern -- not hard to point this out, but as far as kyiv's concern, we have improved on that yesterday. this shall be no different. we are trying to showcase the russians -- it's not working here. the mission for the president to destroy us shall not succeed. >> we are showing some video right now that you sent us. you say these are russian pows. have they revealed anything about what their objectives were, what they thought the mission was coming in to ukraine? >> they are all from all over ukraine. they are from the south of ukraine, the east of ukraine, the north of ukraine.

the russians are basically sending cruise missiles to hit ukraine come everywhere around the country. as far as their units, we had a whole platoon of units in the north of the country. they became prisoners of war. we are getting a lot of those reports, a lot of information. that's a different story from what you might be getting personally, but the reality is this is a massive invasion in which a lot of russians are dying, a lot are going to become prisoners. the claim -- from the russian chief of the armor that they have lost nobody, there's a lot of compilation videos and responses for russians.

>> the sense from american media is that this was kind of inevitable, that it was inevitable that russia was going to come into kyiv. did you think it was? what could have been done to prevent this? >> the reality was very simple. if there were any kind of -- destroying russian weaponry and troops with american weapons -- staying through everything we've got, and -- nothing is also so much as far as fighting the world's largest armies, one of them. the second question, what could have been done to prevent this, lots of ideas come to mind. russia does not want to will

himself to be estonia, which has a large russian population just across the border. still, a nato membership, doesn't want to do that. the point for us, that's why we have pursued a nato membership. get this security -- >> i know you have to move locations, because you personally feel like you are under threat in the last hour, so we are going to let you go. stay safe out there. thank you. u.n. security council resolution, condemning russia's aggression in the ukraine. as i said earlier, this has failed. russia vetoed the resolution, and every other country voted for it except three. the uae, india, and guess who else? china. joining me now, michael's very, director of the center and chinese strategy at the hudson institute, author of the hundred

year marathon, and gordon shane, author of "the great u.s. china tech war. you just heard me mention that "new york times" piece about china running back to russia and basically begging them to do something, imploring them, but today, it became clear whose side china is on, where it's glaringly obvious. it looks like there is someone inside the administration who is starting to leak, which i am frankly very happy about right now. [laughter] >> we are supposed to condemn all leakers, but this is quite historic. whoever did this, and obviously, some very sensitive administration insiders have access to what happened. shows several things. three months was spent trying to get china to help, versus one

time, thank you, and hang up the phone. someone deeply believes -- perhaps the president himself, perhaps john kerry -- apparently, it took place at the state department. somebody believes deeply that china will help us. that's the first point. the second point is that the chinese are playing a crafty game. there is a wonderful expression and chinese: it means to be slippery and crafty. they tell the russians "there is an american plot to stir up friction between russia and china, but we won't fall for this. we are going to give you the intelligence that america gave us, so that" food and could know how much the americans did. that's the second point. the third point is that china's positioning itself, practicing to be the world leader that they hope to be someday. they are saying "we want negotiations, peace talks." they are playing good cop, bad cop with vladimir putin.

they do not openly support the attack. they abstained today's vote, did not take a stand either way during they are the reasonable world leader now who wants to bring together the americans, the ukrainians. this is quite stunning. this is stunning. from the old china 5-10 years ago, be quiet, stay low for your gpa, now, they are stepping forward as a world leader. >> they are filling our vacuum, are they not? think about it, we used to drive our own foreign policy and are now waiting for cues from germany and china. we seem to be going hat in hand with all these other countries. going to dovetail into what we were saying last night. so far it's been -- hong kong, christian minorities persecuted, and now, ukraine that's in the process of being rolled over.

it is not the case that russia and china are not going to stop until they are stopped by an economically strong and internally run america >> they are not going to stop until they are stopped. putin has made it clear that he wants to reconstitute the soviet union. it's not just ukraine, but the three baltic states and others. he has discussed this openly, especially in the dissertation he wrote a long time ago. with regard to china, china has made it clear that they believe that they are the world only legitimate ruler. they are not just talking about planet earth, but the moon and mars, as chinese sovereign territory. they will go as far as they can.

so far, the biden administration has not put up resistance. >> i want to go back to 2018. i think we need a little contemporary history lesson. remember when people were saying that trump was going to cause world war iii, and trump was a big destabilizing force in the world? they were lying. four years ago, president trump called out some of the biggest culprits in what's going on right now. >> i think energy is a different story than a normal trade. you have a country that poland l not accept the gas. they do not want to be capped, but germany, as far as i'm concerned, has captained rated it's getting so much public energy from russia. we are supposed to protect germany, but they are getting their energy from russia. explain that. it can't be explained, you know that. >> he was saying "do not buy

russian oil and gas. you are empowering them" what has happened four years later? no one is going to say this, but trump is right >> something else happens, you are right. in 2018 as well -- ukraine today -- president trump approved 200 javelin missiles to be sent to ukraine. this was a very historic decision to arm the government of ukraine through the process of providing stinger missiles also began -- both of these things come about and kind of slow down in his first year in office. very recently, the second batch of javelins -- and ironically, the baltic -- are now transferring in the past month or so, all their stingers and javelins to the ukraine. this has an enormous effect on slowing down the russian invasion. when you are afraid that you are fighters or helicopters can be shut down, it slows down the

local commander's decision making. unfortunately, it was not 500 to 1,000 javelins. these are the levels we use in afghanistan in the 1980s. at least this 2018 moment was when president trump was changing the calculations for china and russia. i think that's gone away now. we have more trade and investments with china this past year than in the past. rather than decoupling, we are increasing u.s. investment and trade with china. that's a fact. >> i raised a controversial issue earlier, and quickly, your response, that we have to have a series of actions that are methodically put in place, one of which is to ban, reject visas, revoke them of chinese students studying in the united states, especially in the stem field. yes or no? >> yes, because the 2017

national intelligence law of china requires every china's national -- if demanded. that's also the communist party's top-down system. every china's national is a legitimate target of counterespionage on the part of the united states. until we get a hold of this problem, we are going to have to go to drastic solutions. >> that means american universities will have to de couple. they make an enormous amount of money off of china. thank you so much. lucas, how are things going on your end tonight? >> this evening, ukraine's defense minister were in his country to be where russian soldiers disguising themselves as members of the ukrainian military, police, or civilians. that is why the mayor of this city put in a curfew that expires -- >> i have to say, frankly, that this night will be harder than the day. many synergies our country are under fire. we have to hold out.

ukraine's destiny to be decided now. >> western intelligence officials increasingly think that if i reboot and is. the theory has been around moscow for some time, and his latest performances have intensified the concern. he's isolated, turning for the worst over the last two years. they say his speech today was a sullen, dark, bitter and, with victimhood and resentment and unhinged statements. russia lost about 100 soldiers in syria over the last seven years, four times as many in the ukraine in the last 24 hours since invasion. this crisis goes back 30 years to the fall of the soviet union. the ussr ended -- in 1991 in belarus. there was no typewriter or computer, just a handwritten document. overnight, russia's borders shrink to their smallest in quite some time, leaving prudence up at the empire back together. this 5,000 word essay road over the summer, he said that ukrainians and russians were not people. putin did not like the soviet

leader, bringing them back to ukraine in 1954. putin wants it back. it's one of the reasons he annexed it in 2014. in 1999, nato -- the warsaw pact countries here. three years later, bombed serbia. putin thought russia could be next. did not see nato as a defensive alliance. putin has outlasted five u.s. presidents. >> you've not be getting any sleep, and we appreciate your being here tonight. stay safe. if putin is successful in defeating the ukraine, he will be redrawing the map of europe grade that's obviously one of his goals, but the question is what would this new europe look like? moreover, will putin be content with having these parts of ukraine, or other countries? joining outcome of the former house oversight committee chair, and mollie hemingway, editor in chief of the federalist -- both fox news contributor's.

jason, there's always rumors swirling about various leaders. one leader is sick, one is ill. molly, what do you think putin's plans are next? is this just the first domino to fall? >> i think that's what everybody is wondering right now. most everybody thought that there would be an engagement of the ukraine. there was some debate about whether it would be this extensive, and maintaining just ukraine or trying to take over kyiv to have negotiations, the upper hand, it's different than if he keeps going. either way, what's important is that europe needs to hear more about taking on russia being more responsible for that, particularly, because everything else -- we have a strategic adversary in china that we need to be focused on, and need european countries to step up. it's been a long time since

world war ii, and they need to take more charge over this situation. >> i want to get jason in a moment, but let me ask you about hillary clinton emerging today on msnbc. you can always count on her to bring up the vast right-wing conspiracy conspiracy, even if -- >> i think it's time for what's left of the republican party that has any common sense, not just to say "defend ukraine against putin," but to stand against those people in politics, government, the media, elsewhere in our own country who are literally giving aid and comfort enemy of freedom and democracy. >> jason, hillary clinton blaming those in the united states who are cautioning against heightened military involvement on the part of the united states at this time. your reaction.

>> europe has got to do a couple of things, and so does the united states. first of all, the united states and europe have to give us the russian blood oil that they are funding putin and his movement forward. the other thing is, the united nations is feckless, a joke of an organization to suggest that the head of the security council's russia. they should be kicked out of the united states should be tearing down the security council. it's a wake-up call for your to say "you better be prepared to defend yourself, listen to a donald trump said to come and make sure you got an adequate percentage of your gross domestic duct going to the defense for nato and yourself." don't rely on just the united states. finally, to hillary clinton's point, the united states, when we draw a redline, we'd better mean it. obama did not mean it in syria. biden did not mean it when they

were going to put all these sanctions into ukraine. we need the credibility of the reagan and charm to get the united states back in the game and out leave the world for freedom and prosperity. >> just to give everyone a sense of how urgent the situation is for the biden team, we found out tonight or tomorrow, he will have a 10:00 a.m. call with himself, vice president, and members of his national security team to discuss the latest challenges. also, that the usmc and kyiv has set americans and kyiv and beyond should shelter in place, and conditions may deteriorate. be vigilant, no your location. that is the extent of the guidance we are getting. >> quite the urgency they are having there. this is the second foreign policy debacle we seen during

the biden administration, and we are just over a year. even more important is when they decide to get together and discuss this, but it's what they discussed that is important. we need to completely pronounce the neocons, neo-libs, who have dominated foreign policy for decades. vladimir putin is 100% responsible for what's going on, but we need to make sure that our policy is focused on our national interest. letting china rise that entire time, making sure their energy production is strong. day one, biden destroyed the keystone pipeline and much of our chance for energy independence. these are things that national security issues -- even more important than when they talk is what they say. >> thank you. biden announced his supreme court pick today. we are going to explain why

anyone who cares about our constitution must oppose this nomination. plus, we are going to bring the latest from ukraine.

>> laura: russian tanks roll over civilian vehicles, killing innocents. it's 6:00 a.m. and kyiv, and explosions are still being heard. we will check back with our team on the ground in moments, but first, just days before the state of the union address, president biden announced his supreme court pick rate >> president biden: i'm to nominate judge jackson who will be extraordinary with great qualifications, deep experience and intellect, and -- >> i can only hope that my life and career, my love of this country and the constitution, and my commitment to upholding the rule of law, will inspire future generations. >> of course, the regime media was starstruck.

>> was looking for someone with a brilliant legal mind, and found it. >> is not just about her professional experience, but lived experience. a black woman in this country. her credentials sound as this mount olympus, decided to give her each of the credentials of almost a legal devotee of sorts. >> that someone just make that up? did she really say that? the second coming! no that has anything to do with the constitution. this nomination is a major threat to your liberties, and senators should treat it as such. any republican who votes to confirm judge jackson -- she might be the nicest person on earth to an incredible resume, harvard law school, all of that -- anyone who is serious about preserving the constitution has to vote "no" on this confirmation. issues like parental rights, gun rights, the first amendment, all of it is on the line, and she

would be a stalwart vote to radically cut away, and her bill of rights, and our cherished liberties. this is not about whether she is nice with an inspiring resume. this is about saving the country that we love. joining me now is our top, partner at that judicial crisis network president, both former supreme court clerks for justice clarence thomas. this is what biden said when he first nominated her. "for all souls along, our government and courts have not looked like america." i believe it's time we have a court "that reflects the full talent and greatness of our nation good" he talked about her strainer and qualifications, but the first thing he noted, and felt like he had to say, is that we needed a course that looked like america. your reaction. robert. all right, did you hear me? we are having frozen gremlins

tonight. [laughter] hold on, let's go to robert. we seem to have a lot of hiccups, but we will get through it. you heard what biden said. course that looks like america, let's try this again. >> the campaign promises, and he -- for him, that was the highest priority, was to get something delivered. he has not been able to follow through on much else that he has promised. from my perspective, it's a low priority on the supreme court's. i'm looking for somebody who will uphold the law. >> robert, we are going to try to fix your audio and get back to you. carrie, the point is this is a situation, and we are showing pictures of the ukraine -- and this is a situation where we have supreme court nomination in the balance and the most

important qualification that our president put forward is the color of someone's skin. i would say that is antithetical to what our constitution stands for. >> i say he did not even do a great job. tell janice rogers brown that the thing he cares about most is having a black woman at the supreme court. tell that to clarence thomas when joe biden presided over the circuits of the trial that is hearings turn into. this is not someone who is top priority is "let's check boxes," although he doesn't seem to want to throw a bone to the most radical of the left that were clamoring for judge jackson. that is because they are very competent in the way that she is going to vote. they want someone who will be a guaranteed vote for liberal policy results on a full number of issues, and they would stand

for no one who could ever be construed as a potential moderate pick. >> we are going to get back to you. we have to quickly go and check in. i know you had to rush inside moments ago. what's happening there? >> gunfire is erupting across kyiv at this moment. off in the distance, we heard gunfire and explosions around the central part of this capital city. a few months ago, gunfire started coming from all different directions, so we had to move inside quickly. there were a number of tracer rounds you could see in the distance. this is widespread in the city. it's not just one location where there are ukrainian troops -- warned of this scenario, basically saying that tonight would be what decides the state

of ukraine. clearly, the russians are facing clear resistance in the streets of kyiv, and the gunfire continues inside the city limits. outside, there are reports of more russian troops making their way to the ukrainian capital. attacking ukraine from multiple directions and the city. it's not just kyiv, where there is renewed violence taking place. also -- the second largest ukrainian city taking fire according to reports. we are going to limit what we say about the ukrainian and russian side tonight in terms of statements about different accusations made by both sides. reports of planes being shot down and thought alike. we want to hold off on this information, because there's a lot of things flying around tonight. what we can report is what we can see and what we -- there are russian troops inside of the ukrainian capital of kyiv at

this moment. it's a worst-case scenario for the ukrainian forces, but russian troops are faced with difficulties ahead, according to the people that we have talked to. everyone would talk to for members of parliament -- they will not allow the russians to occupy. >> the president made speaker of the president made it clear it may be the last time he speaks to his people because he believes his target number one. he thought his family as target number two. we are showing the video now. he is on the move. we don't know where he is. obviously he wants to keep safe but also he's not leaving the country. some so-called leaders have abandoned layers, as we saw in afghanistan. in a sense of his ability to rally the people at this hour? >> he is trying the hardest to

rally his people, speaking directly to the population saying that they must resist the russians. the difficult part here is that russia comes to this battle with airpower and ground power that the ukrainians early on will be able to push back and we have seen that in the early hours of this fight. but it is not sustainable. it's part of the reason that you saw ukrainian president zelenskyy appealing to the international community and pleading with him to send weapons to this country. yesterday you had the nato secretary general jan sultan sag that there would be air defense systems delivered to ukraine. the big question is how. there is no air travel in the country. martial law is declared because fighting is erupting in the streets of the capital and it's too late, really.

this battle will likely continue. you can hear it. >> the first thing you do is take the airports and they secure the airport. thank you for staying with us. please stay safe or you've done unbelievable work for us. i want to say zelenskyy has according to "the washington post" rejected the u.s. offer to evacuate him from kyiv. the president is in the capital leading the nation through what is an incredibly trying time. thank you for joining us. we really appreciated tonight. fox will have breaking news and we will bring you the latest when we come back. thank you.
