dan: thank you guys. i appreciate you joining us tonight. folks, that does it for us tonight on "unfiltered." we'll see you back here next saturday night at 9:00 p.m. if you can't watch it live be sure to set your dvr. you can also follow us on social media. >> fox news alert we are live monitoring ukraine the eyes of the world are on ukraine as russian forces march toward the capital city. we are all over the story we are alive - - life and also standing by at the white house for reaction also tonight in the capital city what have you been seeing on the ground? >> good evening a russian

missile hit and oil depot just south of the city causing a massive fire. this guy behind me is orange as the fire rages on just south of where we are at right now. the russians are hitting targets throughout the city sending civilians running for bomb shelters. earlier in the day an apartment building was hit injuring a number of people we were there and saw the destruction of these homes where people lived. is such a familiar scene as were has erected following the russian invasion into this country. civilians are taking things into their own hands and arming themselves as best they can we were in the city today in the reliance of people at police stations waiting to get weapons and we spoke to one member of parliament who said he picked up the ak and they were handing them out like candy. there is a real understanding that if the ukrainian will be successful to push back the russian offensive they have to fight tooth and nail to stop

the russian troops from coming into the capital city and overthrowing the government. president zelensky said he will stay and fight among his countrymen even the us intelligence says he is number one on the kill list for russian forces if they do make it into the ukrainian capital. >> what is the for the people it was that it would be over in a day but the people seem resilient. do they feel empowered they can hold the ground? they have had some very big victories on the ground. how are they carrying out day today? reporter: very resilient the army had a significant victory in the battle with russian forces early on they were trying to say the ukrainians had no air defense. but they have shot planes and helicopters out of the sky the

civilian some had to go underground with the population of women and children who could not fully many are living in the metro system of the city to stay away from the russian air campaign. but people are willing to do whatever they can to stop the russian offensive we spoke with one man in the center part of kiev and said he was a very good with weapons but he told me, i will slaughter the russian tanks with a kitchen knife. those are the words that he used. talk about using a knife what he calls russian pigs that gives you a sense how committed some of these people are willing to do whatever it takes to stop the russian invasion into their city and they are pledging to fight back. lawrence: what is the view of the international community as they go through this? are they asking for more? do they want boots on the ground? what are they telling you?

they are not expecting anyone to help them. >> they are looking for weapons and sanctions against the regime of vladimir putin. they believe that pressure needs to be ratcheted up against the russian leader to get him to change his behavior and what president biden said whenever he was imposing the sanctions last week, he said he will review them and 30 days to basically see if they are successful and if they change the behavior of putin. ukrainian people that have 30 days or even 30 minutes. russian troops are inside the city limits as we speak they are calling for happier sanctions in any defensive weapon of antitank mass on —- missiles or anything that help push back against russian forces. lawrence: amazing reporting. stay safe. we are alive with the latest. what have you seen what can you expect to see with this

new day right now in ukraine. reporter. >> we are one hour away from the curfew being lifted and the mayor put one in because they are afraid of russian agents and mayors here in this university town they are housing the refugees in a six hours a severe there are some russian airstrikes taking place 12 miles to where we are speaking the mayor of the city earlier said russian air assault was at an airport one hour from here. dozens were killed others flee toward the woods. it is very clear from british and us intelligence that the us has underestimated the will of the ukrainian people and

army and perhaps overestimated the russian forces. there is numerous logistical problems. supply chain issues and even tanks were abandoned on the road because of fuel shortages. no question the us supply of missiles have played a role this is a modern system it is fire and forget you can shoot and run for cover. the only ones you actually had to steer them into the target and the problem is once it is fired and then the enemy starts to fire back at you so that has a devastating effect so the ukraine defense forces are saying dozens of russian tanks have been destroyed. they claim that over 3000 russian soldiers have been killed and three days of fighting that is spectacular considering spending 101 —- there 150,000 on the border. i thought half of the forces to make you wonder about the

strategy to attack from the north and the south and east. you have to provide air defense and an air campaign. that's another thing. the russians have launched 250 missiles. you heard earlier a russian cruise missile hit an apartment building. they don't use our gps system that blue dot on your iphone is courtesy of the us military and russian don't have that. so those precision weapons and how many are on the stockpile? it does seem like they have been stymied in their campaign. of course they are behind schedule no question. they thought they would be in the capital and decapitated residents of wilensky by now but that has not happened. in fact president zelensky is like a rock star on social media. amongst his people. the fact he is still running the country is pretty spectacular.

lawrence: lucas you have been doing great work we will dive into that later today with the strategy if they will start targeting civilians. thank you so much. now we are light at the white house. what is the president saying? and he back? is there any update on the strategy? reporter: the president is in wilmington delaware this weekend for family member memorial service to be expected to come back tomorrow or monday morning. the national security council and the white house did announce tonight they had been working with the eu and nato countries to ban russia and select russian banks from the banking system with this announcement that now the lesson allies have targeted all ten of russia's largest financial institutions 80 percent of the total russian banking assets and also targets the russian central bank and would prevented basically from

deploying the international reserves which would prevent any action they might take that could otherwise undermine or circumvent the power of the sanctions. and it would ensure the administration believes that inflation spikes in the central bank will be left defenseless. it is a more limited deployment of the nuclear option than ukraine and others have been calling for for the for removal of all russian banks with the swift payment system. but the payment for the alliance did have the warning they are prepared to move even further than the sanctions for the future around if putin and his behavior warrants it. and there will be carveouts for the energy sector. the administration says the white house is working with the eu to identify which payments are energy related. if that doesn't work, then

they will identify which banks cross both of those from oil and gas do not block the russian banks from the swift payment system. now the us is closely watching how countries that are aligned with russia respond to this, notably china. >> it also will give us an indication of how much china is prepared to support russia in this endeavor. we have heard of course that china will be there to bank them and prop up the energy sector. reporter: so far there is no indication that china will come to russia's rescue and prop them up. the administration says typically they are still monitoring the situation and the alliance announced they are launching a transatlantic

task force to basically identify to hunt down and freeze and sees of these companies and oligarchs to go after their jets, their yachts and fancy homes, their assets within the jurisdictions of these countries and sees them. administration officials say we've already seen the impact that will have when the french government seized a cargo ship that belongs to a russian bank because of the sanctions. lawrence: excellent reporting. thank you so much. the bravery of ukrainian people has been simply remarkable to watch in the recent days. with that incredible act of defiance is there a president zelensky himself. despite the word of imminent invasion of kiev. he has bowed to stand shoulder to shoulder with his people. >> >>translator: i am here.

we are defending our country. because our strength. we are defending our country. >> meanwhile the dangers of the citizens are caught on tape. take a look at the missile strike captured on camera earlier today . lawrence: that's not a videogame but realize 14000 american troops and those near ukraine so what happens next? we have the two of the best military mines to answer that question former national security advisor in former deputy undersecretary of

defense for joining me. i want to go to this report released by richard moore who is the chief of mi six intelligence service. they were overconfident of the tactical planning and it was a shock of the resistance and that essentially the russians underestimated the ukrainian people so where is this going? >> first of all there are two things that seem a bit esoteric better equalizers on the battlefield that unit cohesion and purpose. the ukrainians have both and in great quantity and being led by that have a lot of courage but the russians are questionable if they do given that out on the battlefield

are young man and they haven't been that were released in 1989 with a minor incursion into a couple of places like syria. so the ukrainians are unified and they have a purpose i'm not sure if the russians do and that makes a difference in the battle space. lawrence: spending $14 billion a day to maintain this fight. how long can they maintain this against ukraine if they are blowing up all that money? >> this goes back to what was said a minute ago. coming from the napoleonic times.

but there is a whole story about the ukrainian people showing they have heart and ukrainian president to showing he has heart me asinus in american history as well with a 13 days of the alamo and holding out from the time they thought they could in world war ii where they were so surrounded by armored armored divisions of the response from the general when asked to surrender from the first gulf war we are there by ourselves in the 82nd division and absolutely convinced they knew we would fight. for putin he did not expect this. this will turn the fight every day that goes by putin loses because he does not have time the entire world is turning against him he is a pariah and a leader the entire nation is

a prior nation and he is losing. every minute that goes by they cannot decapitate the government to get president zelensky and take the city of kiev they are failing i think they're heading toward a road they will fail that will be much more dangerous because then putin will become feel that he has to do something drastic and who knows what that will be. i don't think the government within russia itself there's a lot of people who say this is not right we have to end this. if i was putin i would double up the bodyguards because he is on the losing end. lawrence: there fascinating videos of the russian troops essentially they are kids. they don't know where they are they thought they were doing a training exercise what is that about?

>> first of all it is a conscript and second it's not unlike american young men. they don't understand the geopolitical aspect of what is happening right now. and generally speaking with the enthusiasm they look forward to the fight until they lose a couple of buddies or the first machine gun fires a six round burst over their head than the reality sets in this his life or death. and those young men do not understand what they are in there for the strategy behind it and they don't understand the purpose that's why i say the ukrainians have purpose they are fighting for their homeland in their future and their children and that makes a huge difference. lawrence: it's good to have leadership as well as the

commander-in-chief president zelensky who is side-by-side with them and that's what they need right now. i have heard several accounts of those praising their great leader in joining him on the battlefield leading from the front thank you for joining the program tonight ukrainians are fighting back in a big way standing by live with the latest plus a citizen of ukraine joins us live from the war zone when we continue. don't go anywhere. [ kimberly ] before clearchoice, my dental health was so bad i would be in a lot of pain. i was unable to eat. it was very hard. kimberly came to clearchoice with a bunch of missing teeth, struggling with pain, with dental disease. clearchoice dental implants solved her dental issues. [ kimberly ] i feel so much better. i feel energized to go outside and play with my daughter. i can ate anything. like, i don't have to worry.

clearchoice changed my life.

>> fox news alert to the capital city of kiev on alert this hour the world has watched in recent days in brave ask of defiance have dramatically halted the advance on kiev we are going their life. reporter: the city is bracing for what could occur in the coming hours or days. they have seen the worst of humanity the past 72 hours as russian forces have started their attempt to take the capital city. we saw today throughout the city they are setting up barricades anything they can

do to slow the russian advance as the civilians prepare. we have seen the stories of defiance people doing whatever they can to push back a brewery in ukraine has turned into a multi- cocktail factory are trained to build any sort of weaponry people who are standing on the sides of the roads as they come into the population centers to use to stop the tanks in the armored vehicles we have seen quite a battle in different parts of this country in recent days and went back-and-forth between ukrainian and russian forces and also the northern part of the country we have seen intense battles and it is nowhere near over the conversations about the possibility of cease-fire negotiations as we have seen in the past they will say one

thing publicly and be open to p-letter sensibility and then continue the battle was no match for the civilian population, the crossfire. they will be the ones to pay the highest price as we see all over the world a refugee crisis as a result of this conflict and the vulnerable people are trapped in the middle. lawrence: more of that disinformation campaign. precious attempt as the president putin in a state of shock and all. officials stated the leader of the kremlin has been utterly shocked at the slow pace of the invasion and in all of the powerful resistance that has

been faced in recent days we watched as proud ukrainians did in front of tanks putting their lives on the line blocking the russian advance to kiev. one elderly ukrainian citizen coming forward to volunteer to join the military flooded social media. ukraine's very own greatest generation is ready to fight back. and then the heartbreaking video that capture the attention of the entire world. thirteen border guards delivering messages of defiance to pretend on —- putin.

lawrence: they knew they would die. the freedom mattered to them. up next former cia chief station ben hoffman, dan, went to get into the mind of putin you know what he is capable of. what is going through his mind right now as the ukrainians are fighting back? this is supposed to be over and hours but now it is days. >> looking at the world to the twisted eyes of vladimir putin. his experience of serving in the kgb as an intelligence officer. he never served in the military but intelligence was his business and that would have been key to him and determining ukraine's capacity and will to fight. and russia has overstretched. it reminds me of general secretary the last couple

years of his life and beating afghanistan. and that put a lot of nails in the coffin of the soviet union. vladimir putin took a great risk dealing with extended supply lines that has a negative impact on the troops ability to move. there are major rivers in ukraine that pose challenges and there are large cities. they just don't have the troops to subdue them and ukraine has highlighted led by president zelensky bravely demonstrating how committed they are fighting for their freedom and independence. we are now stepping up time is on ukraine side the longer they hang in the fight the more we can get in terms of humanitarian assistance and other things that can help them against to defend themselves against russian aggression. lawrence: you have served this

country honorably. thank you for your service. and they never asked the men and women on the ground. what should be the position of the united states? >> i will say first i don't see we don't need to get involved with boots on the ground that just starts world war iii. but if we can support and draw the line in the sand to say if you start giving nato countries then all bets are off but we are doing what we can to support them and we can always do more by helping with ammunition and supply. they are holding their own right now. time is on their side. and you cannot underestimate the complexity of urban warfare of fighting people in the streets and we saw that when we went into falluja and

the battles of iraq and afghanistan. i think putin has overstretched himself and really this comes down to how far will putin take this to win? at what cost for he when? lawrence: what is his next move? early on he was not doing that that the battle is going the way he planned. what is his next move? >> not just vladimir putin's next move but his own military. we have seen in russian history how world war i and the czar empire collapsed so what point does russian military attacking innocent billion one —- civilians looks like they are questioning their leadership. that could be happening in moscow right now among the elites of the inner circle that maybe he doesn't quite

deserve to be there commander any longer. that's we have to be looking for. we have seen in history the two against secretary gorbachev. sometimes they are all too willing of their own interest are at risk and putin is putting the russian state at risk and for what? and could have walked away without firing a shot to ensure ukraine would never join nato but this humanitarian catastrophe he is causing. >> anybody seen a protest and they can be put to death so that tells you a lot. thank you for joining us cross country. so not only fighting for survival to protect the families in the homeland when

lawrence: the situation in ukraine escalated tonight after a blast rocked an area near kiev. muscles —- missiles will depot causing a massive fire and residents were told to stay inside in close the window. now more on that situation from the shelter inside the war zone. thank you for joining the program. how are you holding up? >> we are doing great here. we are in shoulder but we are doing great. lawrence: are you getting access to food, water, the basic necessities in the

shelter? >> yes. may have water and food. i am worried about the other but we are fine here. lawrence: what is your reaction to your leader going out there with the men and women of your country to fight? >> first of all i'm not a ukrainian citizen. but i heard about president zelensky going out to fight and to show the muscles of the ukrainian people. that is great it shows he is enthusiastic about this whole situation and he thinks russia will not get inside. i have been there. i have seen where they are. it is not promising let's put it this way going out to fight them. they will be able to run

away. no. i think the situation right now is bad. it is not good and it will get worse. it is getting worse by the minute and the russians are getting very upset by the situation. and they will get more and more upset and this is going to get worse for the people there. lawrence: what is your greatest fear quick. >> i don't have any fears. lawrence: you are not afraid of any of this happening right now? >> i am here for admission and my mission is to help the other people to get out. this is the main reason i am here. i am not afraid. right now it's a take the people out and bring them to the border and that's what this is all about.

there could be people with guns or tanks or anything like that we are doing whatever we do best. lawrence: so much courage not just the people that are fighting that the people like you trying to help people thank you for joining me tonight coming up who is vladimir putin? is he stable and looking to bring back the soviet union? our investigation next. ♪♪ ♪♪

>> he will not stop until he is stopped and we are ready to

die and now we have to wait more days or weeks then he will be defeated. lawrence: and emotional play me from another in ukraine she and her three young children are currently in a bomb shelter and a message was directed at president joe biden and all of nato that they have witnessed firsthand the brutality of kgb agent turned president vladimir putin one of the most shocking video shows putin's troops intentionally targeting a civilian vehicle and was all caught on camera. lawrence: who is vladimir putin our new "fox nation" show cohost of fox and friends and host of "one nation" brian kilmeade this. >> he had a bachelors a guy on

—- degree decided to go into intelligence and went into the kgb and much as the soviet union fell apart from east germany and he basically said get off the wall let's divide this place that then go back to being the soviet union and from that moment according to people that knew him he longed for the day to put this back together. somehow he ends up deputy to a mayor the mayor loses the election goes to moscow wins over boris yeltsin then he got involved with some corruption maybe we never know the true story but then he resigns and incomes vladimir putin and wins the election and holds it and holds it to terms incomes then the handpicked successor medvedev and then he comes back to hold the job for life. talking to "one nation" 8:00 o'clock and said this is

not the same guy. he was national security advisor to george w. bush and have the job for years a couple of years before halley took over. this is not the same guy now he is calling his own if you think of the big picture with those horrible images of the tank running over civilian vehicle and the 270 decibels that have lost their lives today, he's trying to take a country that likes their leader and way of life to make it like russia they don't want to do that. even if you take the capital will you hold 40 million people hostage with your inept armed forces we have seen so far? i don't think we want —- it can be done we just saw that. lawrence: you have been studying this guy for a while so what are the changes that we see? his age were his legacy? what exactly is making him

tick is not even strategically the right move even him being a crazy guy. >> the word is among those who know dictators they on —- is with a small group and he so paranoid about covid-19 he is afraid of getting it he isolated himself even further so i don't know why but it is a defensive alliance this is the first time they have even armed themselves to put themselves in a position to defend the nation we are in right now but he sees this as a threat. he took georgia nothing happened he took the region and watched she is what happened in afghanistan and says why don't i just take ukraine now? get the call and the oil and become closer to the superpower he grew up knowing. lawrence: the ukrainians are crushing this madman right now.

>> i would say holding him off effectively. but the longer they hold the better it looks because the more frustrated and demoralized the russian forces look. the longer they sit there and say why am i doing this? i have a cousin in that town. why my fighting here? i was forced to sign up. i was drafted. russians are people too they will say i'm going home. lawrence: brian, thank you. catch him next hours doing special coverage all day today. all-american should hear how the cyberattacks can affect you and your family. trelegy for copd.

lawrence: the white house is warning russian aggression can reach america and the form of the cyberattack. joining us now congressman thank you for joining me. you specialize in cyberwarfare. what should we do to protect

ourselves? >> i spent 20 years and russian has been attacking the united states for a very long time we have seen it with the colonial pipeline and production facilities, water plants. it's time for america to go on the offensive. we have to show peace through strength and through our cybercapabilities to protect not only our citizens but businesses. right now putin showing the world he wanted to be on the world stage and then since 2014 and they have failed and reverted to 19th century tactics. what does that mean cracks russia cybercapability is not as strong as we have led them to believe. we have ukrainians fighting an amazing battle. behind me is the city of san antonio they are having a remember the alamo moment and

then to be defiant and you see that with president zelensky. we need to support them and america needs to support them by helping them with cyber. >> thank you for your service. what is taking so long? russia didn't just start attacking we knew they would get to this position so why are they not doing more from a cyberstandpoint? they have the resources to do that. >> we have the resources. we just haven't had the will we have not had our eye on the ball for a long time. i have been in congress for years we had very few hearings relating to russia or china or iran or national security threats we are worried about the bulk social agenda and that is all we have talked about or had our focus on.

that is coming back to haunt us quite honestly. this is a window of opportunity for vladimir putin he sees it as weakness from biden i just got back from the munich security summit and it was very obvious we were not in leadership or a gathering support from european countries are nato countries and taking a lead. we are addressed with regards to our response because we have complete lack of leadership in the current administration. lawrence: what do we need to do right now to protect the homeland when it comes to cyber? what do we need to do right now quick. >> there are three things that come to mind last year there were 4103 russians that

entered the united states illegally to the southern border. that tells you russians are trying to flee vladimir putin so we need to reach out to the russian people and say there is opportunity to come to the united states. on the battlefield of ukraine wind is implementing a no-fly zone in western ukraine nato can do that we have seen a humanitarian crisis spiral. we have seen the civilian casualties protect the civilians by enforcing a no-fly zone. everyday americans all of us can do something but this is what we can do we can embargo russia goods from vodka to natural gas we should be saying no to russia right now and then the cyberattack that is something very real we need to take the gloves off our intelligence community and allow them to protect not only

our citizens but the ukrainians. >> i agree and we should be working with our allies in nato to define what is an article violation and what will trigger that? talk about kinetic warfare we all understand we understand when the red line has been crossed but talking about this at the munich security council is not clear where the red line is and what constitutes article five when nato will come together with the attack against one is the attack against all we are attacking from and cyberstandpoint but right now we don't have any ability they are not the least bit afraid of what they will do in response to anything he does in ukraine. lawrence: thank you for joining me tonight.

my next guest is here briefly to share her story. now at the border trying to desperately reach a safe location. joining me right now thank you for joining me. >> hello. lawrence: tell us where you are and how hard it is to get to the destination. what are you see? >> i line of cars and on the way to the border but that situation is equal between ukraine and poland and for two or three days to cross the border. but then to just stand here

and then people just leave their belongings and try to escape and i am here in my car with my five euros upstairs it is minus four celsius which is quite cold. lawrence: how was your child holding up? does he understand what he is experiencing right now? do you have food and water quick. >> my child actually does better than id because he sleeps. i have to stay awake. but he spent two days and the

car but he's nervous and he's crying and everything and all these things on the road when we are driving is hard to bear especially when you see armed guys everywhere on the road and he says who are these guys what are the guns are they good guys or bad guys? and i have to explain they are good guys and so on. lawrence: what do you want the united states to know? >> there is a huge war and now we pay for it with their homes that we have lost. i am not sure if i will ever see them again because i don't know how it will go. there are many who believe them and listen that this is

not true just look up. lawrence: i am so sorry i'm up against a hard break thank you for your courage you are in our prayers. thank you for coming on. we will be back here live next friday don't forget to set your dvr and brian kilmeade does up next. >> welcome to our nation bring you the latest with continuing breaking his coverage of the war in ukraine that's get right to it 11:00 o'clock p.m. in the east and 6:00 o'clock p.m. in the morning in kiev ukrainian forces putting up fierce resistance again to a russian military they say is closing in on the capital they got discloses 20 miles and then they checked out and then announcing powerful sanctions even the germans
