address to reduce mask mandates or vaccine mandates. they did. they did it on friday and new york did it yesterday. they waited until the state of the union and poll numbers for president biden are not good. one of the reasons is because they waited so long on that. >> bill: jennifer griffin has new details in our system. harris will follow us here and have that information for you. so watch this here. >> dana: here is harris. >> harris: the world is watching the incredible courage, resolve and sacrifice of the ukrainian people as they fight back against vladimir putin's army. a stark reminder that freedom is not free. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". with the sundown now at 6:00 p.m. their local time rocket attacks are pummeling ukraine's second largest city. russia making some advances there but still not captured a single major city and been able to hold areas. ukraine government says its citizens are continuing to die, though. still russian forces are being

held back from their objective so far. putin reportedly is furious at their lack of progress and told even u.s. intelligence thought the capital city of kyiv might fall more quickly. that country is holding its own despite being out manned and outbeguned and out numbered. the rest of europe has joined the united states to rally around ukraine president zelenskyy and his people. he is a hero, very active on social media. the people in the streets are expressing he is one of them. former national security advisor h.r. mcmaster. >> i think putin got a lot more than he bargained for. he is in a very difficult position. anything we can do financially going after his international criminal enterprise with sanctions is important. the support for ukraine's ability to defend themselves is also important. >> harris: the house foreign affairs committee is in "focus"

and fox team coverage. jennifer griffin reporting from the pentagon. let's go first inside the war as we do each day. trey yengst is on the ground in kyiv. trey. >> good morning. there were peace talks today along the border between belarus and ukraine. russian and ukrainian delegation showing up. a stark contrast between the two sides. russian delegation showing up in suits and ties and the ukrainians in fatigues. they continue to brace for a larger conflict as new satellite images show russian forces approaching the capital city. there has already been fighting within the city limits but these new satellite images are because it shows hundreds of russian vehicles in a convoy more than three miles long with logistic support. an indicator according to u.s. defense officials russians will try to surround the city in the coming days. civilians are taking shelter. curfew was lifted this morning. just for a few hours to allow people to go out and get

supplies, food, water, everything they need to wait out this conflict. those civilians continue to shelter in place. tonight they head back to bomb shelters and hospitals. one hospital in particular we saw these images of women and children just trying to wait out this russian air campaign and the pleas from mothers. pleading with the community, the international community for peace. they need support. listen to the words of one mother here. >> we receive all the medicine we need. we are running out of food. local charity funds promised to bring some. we're waiting that they will come and bring us bread, essential and some juice for children. >> juice for the children and bread. civilians are about to be cut off. a city of 3 million people. peace talks are ongoing but not likely to produce tangible results. a phone call today between

french president macron and putin. the french released bullet points indicating that putin is demanding ukrainians recognize crimea and also demilitarize the entire country. things that aren't going to happen as the war rages on. >> harris: one side wants the other side to surrender. russia's perspective. bill hemmer mentioned we would have this. i will bring it to you and have you react to it and see what you are hearing on the ground. jennifer griffin is reporting the united states defense official has no sign that belarus and its forces are preparing to get involved in ukraine. that would be an interesting development if it were to happen. so far they aren't seeing the movement. >> it would be very interesting if it does happen. right now, though, we know russian forces are using belarus as a base to launch attacks into this country. during the build-up of forces nearly 190,000 along the border

30 thousand were in belarus and we have seen russian soldiers cross the border into the chernobyl region and engage ukrainian forces. >> harris: thank you very much. the united nations general assembly is meeting today in a rare emergency session. they've only met like this 11 times including today in united nations history. why now? vladimir putin put those nuclear deterrent forces on high alert yesterday so they'll meet. a massive refugee migration is forming. a half million people have now fled out of ukraine into poland and other neighboring countries. the u.n. says we could see 4 million displaced ukrainians. now let's get to jennifer griffin reporting at the pentagon. you are pulling a lot together right now. i gave a little bit of it. you have more. >> official tells us that they have not seen russia or putin any movement to those nuclear forces and so that is the

latest from here. the senior u.s. defense official also told us that there is no sign as of yet that russian forces are preparing to get involved in ukraine despite to the contrary. no evidence so far of belarus. no air superiority overnight by russia. that's significant. we have also learned they only advanced 5 kilometers, about two miles toward the capital kyiv in 24 hours. that's very insignificant movement forward. it demonstrates they're still facing some fuel and supply line issues as well as those shoulder fired anti-tank missiles. they have been frustrated a senior u.s. defense official just told us. we've also learned 4,000 u.s. soldiers from the first armored brigade combat team deployed to europe have had their deployment extended. all eyes are on this conference

table on the belarus border where the russian and ukrainian delegates spent four hours meeting today. ukraine is demanding an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of russian forces. few think the talks will bear fruit. russian military frustrated by the slow progress we're told and the columns of military vehicles like this one outside kharkiv which have been targeted by the shoulder fired anti-tank javelin missiles that the u.s. and nato have provided the ukrainian military. the carnage of russian tanks and troops is seen on the edge of these population centers which the russian military has not been able to control so far. but so, too, is evidence that russia is beginning to employ the multi-rocket launcher systems, the grad rockets that destroy willy-nilly entire civilian neighborhoods. indiscriminate bombings that he employed in chechnya 20 years ago. russians woke up to a stark new

reality today. putin already faced a tough time in financing his war. russia's gdp is 1.5 trillion. compare that to the u.s. economy which is 20 trillion. in other words, the u.s. economy has produced more in january than the russian economy in an entire year. today the ruble is now worth less than 1 u.s. cent. 105 rubles to the dollar. the russian interest rates went from 9.5% to 20%. and perhaps most notable the russian people are speaking out despite the risk to their lives. my colleague reports russia's most popular blogger has called out putin's inner circle by name and said this war must end. >> harris: we've seen corporations in america. musk is making that satellite

systems so they can stay on social media platforms so everyone can see the bravery. >> bill: switzerland normally neutral has announced sanctions against russia. this is unprecedented. >> harris: thank you very much. ukrainian president zelenskyy -- [inaudible] his courage and love for his nation as i just mentioned that stuff is contagious and it is spreading. every day we're seeing the stories of average ukrainians joining the fight and becoming heroes all over their nation. beauty queens, professional athletes and former ukraine president and now in a show of defiance one ukraine woman sang her national anthem while she had to sweep up all the broken glass at her mom's home. one of at least 33 civilian sites targeted by russia. [woman singing national anthem] ♪♪♪

>> harris: you almost don't need the translation there. you know what that feels like to fight for freedom and believe in such things, right? we hope the world will do that. former u.n. ambassador nikki haley says their bravery should inspire the world, all of our allies to step up the fight against putin. brian mast is in "focus." thank you for being here. you know, i mentioned our u.s. military. you have served. and you have been around people like that woman in the window sill watching them try to win freedom. >> yeah. you look at one of the best quotes in our nation's history and it came from president reagan. he said there is no weapon in the arsenal of men so strong as the will of free men and women. i think that's something that really sums up what we should

inspire to the world and what zelenskyy is inspiring to the world as we speak. >> harris: congressman, on the house foreign affairs committee i would imagine you are taking a look at what is possible with putin at this stage. late stage of being adictator and he has made some desperate moves. what do you make of militarily the russian's inability to fill their president's wishes and take all these cities immediately? >> i think you see a divide in the will of the russian people to wage all-out war on their neighbors. on people that you could say are that close to them in language and so many other ways. this wasn't the will of their people. there is division amidst the military and what you need to see from the foreign affairs committee and from those that are in talks in belarus and other places is laying it out to vladimir putin that we realize how he began this war but no matter how long it

takes, this is how this war will end. because of his nuclear saber rattling there will be a russian nuclear demilitarization. they will return crimea. there will be an unconditional surrender to zelenskyy and removal of their troops from ukraine. in my opinion there should be a demilitarized zone along all russian borders. this needs to be the way it ends no matter how long it takes and maybe add onto that as we see those sanctions going on with banks and currency and swift. we probably need to go out there and let the russian government know that russian energy is not going to be an export that is desired by turkey or anyone else. it has to be a commitment by europe to not use russian energy for the next generation. otherwise it would be like sanctioning a farmer without sanctioning their crops. >> harris: quickly, you know the realities of all that though, right? you are watching a president in president biden who had to

fight mightily to get the countries of nato, 29 others, to work with us on this whole thing. how realistic is that. that demilitarized zone along the lines of russia. how could we get all that done? is it really possible? >> it is not possible and add to that you need to see putin stand trial for war crimes as well. what you see, you know, there was an effort to unify nato and the e.u. and the greatest unifyer has been vladimir putin. i think you will see, because of what lithuania and latvia and estonia and poland and all these countries realize they could face, you will see, i think, that kind of oounfication. i hope that resolve. when you look at the way they're ramping up their nuclear posture which russia has defined very specifically why they would use nuclear weapons in the case of the total collapse of the soviet -- of russia. the total collapse of russia.

in case of their nuclear stockpiles being attacked, in the case of attack on their capital. specific reasons why they would lay out using nuclear weapons. putin is trying to go out and make sure there is not a unified european front to enforce a no fly zone. turkish and german and u.k. jets. that is something he fears. likewise who is to say that ukraine does not have every reason in the world if they had the capability to counter attack moscow. if they had that capability they would have every right to do so. i think that's why you see putin doing this nuclear saber rattling. >> dana: congressman mast. thank you for your time today. always for your service. president biden facing new pressure now on the eve of his first state of the union address. the speech coming against a back drop of war and increasing crises at home. pete hegseth in "focus" next.

plus we have this. >> stop the lie now. >> stop the lie, stop the lie. >> support for ukrainians from countries across the globe. one of the largest in berlin. 100,000 people gathered to protest the invasion and here in the united states people came out. i saw the one outside the white house when i was there to anchor "fox news sunday" this weekend and they were saying this is one of the largest we've ever had of anything on a saturday afternoon. they started early on saturday. even russians taking to the streets braving riot police and imprisonment to protest putin's war on ukraine. all that support showing no signs of going away. >> stop russia, now, stop

russia now. russia, wake up. stop the war, stop putin, stop the war. stop putin, stop the war. ! over the counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me! xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda-approved non-steroid eye drop specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects, include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait fifteen minutes before reinserting contacts. talk to an eye doctor about xiidra. i prefer you didn't. xiidra. not today, dry eye.

>> harris: breaking news as we get new video into fox. it shows the aftermath of russian shelling at a supermarket in northern ukraine near the border with belarus. moscow talking a lot about military targets it is striking. we know from the people on the ground and videos like what you are watching right now, that putin is also striking civilian targets. we'll bring in new images as we get them. russia's war on ukraine is hiking the price of oil and gas in the united states. we were already high and had inflation and this is punching us.

according to aaa the average price of a gallon of gasoline here is $3.61. that's up from 25 cents a month ago, 89 cents a year ago. jeff flock of fox business is live at a new jersey refinery with more on the effects the ukraine invasion will have on energy markets here. jeff, this is just the beginning. >> i think so, harris. clearly everyone believes gas prices are going even higher. here at the refineries, the refinery here in new jersey. the first place they feel the cost of a crude barrel of oil now about $95 on the futures markets. the u.s. remains the largest producer of oil in the world. look at the latest numbers on pumping. in october we pumped 11.47 million barrels of oil here in the u.s. a million barrels more than

russia and saudi arabia but oil producers are lobbying the biden administration to back off the green agenda because it put too much pressure on oil companies not to invest in future production. listen. >> they don't want them to necessarily invest in continued production of oil and gas energy resources. because of that, you've had a lot of pressure and domestic upstream production companies to focus on the balance sheet more so than focusing on expanding domestic production. >> right now it's just what'sed ined in terms of supplying some of the oil that maybe won't come from russia and the same is true of natural gas. europe has been trying and we've been helping take the pressure off the need for russian natural gas. look at these numbers. in 2019, russia supplied 40 plus% of the natural gas to europe. now in 2021, it's down to 20%

and the u.s. is supplying 26% of the natural gas to europe. the producers say, though, we can do more if it takes some of the pressure off lack of investment, problems with permitting and the rest, we can fill the void and it will bring prices down as well. harris. >> harris: jeff flock, thank you very much. the russian ruble crashed to historic lows against the dollar this morning after the western sanctions on russian banks began being felt. senator tom cotton says the punishments are not nearly enough. >> some of the president and european partners to quit pussy footing around. they are riddled with loopholes. i know they say they've sanctioned 80% of the banks in russia. vladimir putin controls 100% of the banks in russia. he can continue to finance his war machine. it is time to remove all

russian financial institutions from the international payment systems. it should have been done weeks ago. >> harris: pete hegseth is in focus now. what senator cotton was saying and jeff flock, let's step back and do energy for a moment. if we're the world's greatest producer we still need help. russia is the third largest supplier of us. is there more that we can do at home since the president put us in a position we're not pumping enough? >> of course if we didn't have the white house captured by climate zealots. it is that that ultimately prevents them from doing the common sense things that happened under the trump administration like the keystone xl pipeline and further exploration and fracking. my co-host on "fox & friends" weekend rachel campos-duffy calls it the green new deal war. she is not wrong.

the obsession with the climate has crushed domestic energy exploration and output in our country and made us more reliant on places like russia. this is not new, harris. in fact, ronald reagan warned in the 80s about the building of nord stream one. he recognized any way in which russia could receive -- it was even the soviet union. could supply energy to europe would create a vulnerability for europe. now it is glaring right in front of us. i love what senator cotton is exactly right on the sanctions. we said sanctions were meant to deter. we meaning the white house. and then they didn't deter and then the white house said -- joe biden said wait, they weren't meant to deter. they've never been fundamentally serious. even now the sanctions don't target russian energy. if energy is the key to this and prices are spiking, putin can fund this all he wants especially if you are not

sanctioning every russian energy entity. >> harris: we're still buying oil from them. 595,000 barrels of day. that's a lot. so we're sanctioning him but paying him and part of the community that's buying oil from him. it is such a huge back door of cash. but again we're the world's largest producer. we've got to do more whatever the answers are here at home. i don't know if we can cut back in winter on certain things but maybe we lean more on natural gas, i don't know. that's not my lane. my lane is to ask all the questions and i have a lot of questions because if we are going to sanction a guy and have loopholes and buy his oil, he is never going the take us seriously. i want to get to this. >> no, he is not. >> harris: president biden will give his first state of the union address tomorrow. the back drop is grim. war on ukraine on his watch. maybe he could or couldn't have

done it. his own cratering poll numbers, the latest abc news poll shows only 37% of americans approve of his job performance. a whopping 55% disapprove. only 17% say the economy is better under president biden. 54% say it's worse. a fox business poll finds 31% of americans are satisfied with the way things are going. that's the lowest figure of happy people since october of 2013 when it was just 26%. the associated press is not mincing words. a state of disunity, funk and peril. republican congressman lee zeldin with this advice for biden. >> we're not looking for you to spin what we all see right in front of us with our own eyes. we have identified the problem.

now we want solutions regardless of whether you are republican, democrat, conservative, liberal. don't spin us for an hour. tell us what you are going to do. we want competency and consistencies and policies prioritizing our economy, our safety, our freedom. >> harris: we do know at least from reports that the president will shift in something in terms of bringing ukraine into his comments at the state of the union tomorrow night. >> yeah, he will. the problem is, lee zeldin is right. i don't envy the white house speech writer whose task it is to take the last year and a half and try to make it look rosie. look at the a.p. headline. it correctly depicts the state of america at home and abroad. if he wants to talk about what is happening in ukraine, what will he say other than the things we told you would deter it didn't work? if he wants to talk about afghanistan he will say what he said in the past. it was going to be this way no

matter who ended the war. which anyone who had been there or seen it knew that's not true. it didn't have to end that way. here at home what lee zeldin said it is right. i was an cpac this weekend talking to conservatives and young people. what is happening in ukrainian but it pales to the wokeness in my culture and the real border i care about, the southern border which is wide open. the quality of life of average americans has gone down. the taxi driver said it costs me twice as much. i didn't vote for biden but costs me twice as much to fill up my tank every time i drive. i feel it and i realized i was wrong. the best thing joe biden could do on this grandest of stages with all eyeballs and admit we aren't where we should be and

course correct. he is in a box of the left, of the hard left which he made a deal with at the beginning of his administration and therefore i don't think he can course correct. i hope that white house speech writer writes the spiniest of spin speeches. that's what they will need if they stick to the policies they've been pursuing. >> harris: thank you very much. appreciate your time to have you in "focus." as ukrainian citizens join their military to stand up against putin's army this video is going viral online. a man sees a russian tank stalled on the side of the road and mockingly offers to help. >> harris: even the russian soldiers had to laugh at that. as we're seeing again and again the courage and toughness of the ukraine people is not a joke. >> many times he was always

calculating and cold but this is different. he seems erratic. it was always a victimology what had happened to them. now it goes back to blaming lenin of the formation of kyiv in ukraine. he is descending into something that i personally haven't seen before. >> harris: a lot of reaction to that exclusive interview for "fox news sunday" yesterday with former secretary of state condoleezza rice. she had met putin before he became president and met him several times alongside president bush and witnessed a change already in him years and years ago. that was from a guy who had been with the kgb, a spy, becoming president and scooping up all that power and she said you could see more of a tough veneer and bravado. what we have now she called him delusional.

there was a lot of texture to how she described where he is now. he is in a dark place and we don't know what it's like. his paranoia is fed by the fact he can't trust the people around him. he doesn't have a cell phone. may not be out of the ordinary for presidents not to have those devices. putin is more and more isolated and secretary rice says it makes him vulnerable emotionally. she says that is not the same man she met. critical to know because that person has nuclear weapons and how far will their desperation go? gillian turner is live in washington, d.c. gillian. >> a lot of reaction to that interview indeed. now a well-placed intelligence source is telling me that putin doesn't use a personal cell phone or even the internet. if true, he really is cut off from the world beyond the walls of his compound and his inner circle of cronies. not just bush administration officials who are worried.

president obama's intelligence chief says he hopes cabinet secretaries are trying to get answers about putin's mental state. >> i think he is a little unhinged. i really do and why these statements bear watching. >> trump administration officials say putin's decision making is no longer rational meaning they aren't even in his own best interests. >> i don't think he is a rational actor because he is fearful. what he wants to do more than anything is restore russia to where it was. >> lawmakers are calling him delusional on capitol hill zbloo. to hear him put the nuclear forces on high alert, i am really starting to question the competency, mental fitness. he seems to be delusional and very isolated. this is really terrifying not just for ukraine but the entire world. >> the per sefption among foreign leaders is putin's mental health has deteriorated very rapidly very recently.

the president of finland who kept up a dialogue with putin for years said after a recent phone call he had a marked change in behavior. likewise macron of fans said after meeting face-to-face he seemed more rigid and more isolated. backing this up is senior national security official who accompanied president trump to his meeting with putin tells me putin seemed paranoid and unwilling to listen to reason. that's a direct quote last week coming out on the heels of that macron meeting. >> harris: interesting to hear rice talking about feeding the paranoia. who also is good intelligence on this to tell the rest of the world? tell us what it's like for him before he does the next thing. gillian, thank you very much. ambassador william taylor, former united states ambassador to ukraine is in "focus" now. thank you for being with me. i want to start with just if we

could a propensity for war crimes. i talked with congressman mccaul who we saw moments ago in gillian's reporting but also former secretary of state under trump mike pompeo about the war crimes that are on display now. hospitals being hit, apartment buildings, that sort of thing. to not knowing how far he would go really matters right now. >> it absolutely does. and you are absolutely right and others are exactly right about the war criminality that we're seeing there. so president putin has a date with the international criminal court in the hague. he is going to be pulled before the i.c.c. and prosecuted as a war criminal. there is no doubt about that. ukrainian people are under his gun and they are fighting and the ukrainian military is fighting but you are right about the culpability of the russians and in particular the

russian president. >> harris: you said he has a date with international criminal court in hague. it was hard to get countries to step along with us just days ago after the invasion by russia into ukraine had already begun. how much appetite is there around the world to hold him accountable as we go along? >> harris, you are so right about the change, the tide has changed in support of ukraine as opposed to russia. think about the big changes we saw just in europe. sweden, germany, turkey. >> harris: switzerland. >> switzerland. >> harris: that's unheard of. >> unheard of. germany. they are now going to be 2%, what many of us and many previous presidents have been demanding of the germans to spend more on their own defense and now to help out ukraine. they are doing that. this is a major change. i think it reflects, harris, a

lot of understanding now of how important ukraine is and how bad president putin is and actually how brilliant president zelenskyy is. >> harris: heroic as their people see him as one of them. that's huge. when you don't leave and you stay and fight, you are not just holed up someplace. people feel they can win and you are seeing. that i want to ask you about belarus. we'll have to nail down where the facts are here. would they get in the fight with russia? the u.s. intelligence official saying today they don't see any sign of that at this point but they allowed russia to use them as building ground while they massed up to 200,000 troops and then went on and encircled a sovereign nation on three sides. talk to me a little bit about belarus. who are they? >> you are exactly right.

they are a co-defendant in this whole drama. i understand that ballistic missiles, short range and medium range ballistic missiles have been launched from belarus. russian missiles launched from belarus territory against ukraine and probably against kyiv and that again just demonstrates that the belarus people are working closely with or allied with russia and they should be the subject of swift sanctions as well. other sanctions that will hammer their economy like the russian economy is being hammered. >> harris: when was the last time you were in ukraine? >> i was there three weeks ago. i sat with president zelenskyy. i sat with many people, ukrainians of all walks. one of the fellows that i spoke with then and have spoken with this morning is out on the streets defending kyiv, defending his homeland as a

civilian. >> harris: last quick question. it seemed -- we can only say this from the civilians who were talking with media there. we don't know from the government. maybe you would know since you sat down with zelenskyy only three weeks ago. they've been fighting a war really since 2014 when putin went in and invaded crimea and went on to annex it. they've seen him. even they thought it was shocking that he would invade. did you see signs that they were prepping when you were there? >> harris, everyone was -- not everyone, there were many of us who were shocked. many ukrainians who looked at russia and thought this is a brotherly country. they would never invade us. i looked at the cost and benefits. the cost putin is bearing and will bear in terms not just of

the financial costs on the sanctions but also the number of russian soldiers who are coming back dead, going back to russian villages for burial, that is going to cause a real backlash in russia. that will cost president putin. people thought that he would be rational, he would be thinking about this and of course he is not. >> harris: he is a dictator and now one who is in the latest throws of that dictate orship. if he is truly that isolated when we talk again we'll have to if he has united support in the country among people closest to him. ambassador taylor, thank you. >> harris: putin is putting nuclear forces on alert. that's what brought the united states meeting today. what it means for the united states and the rest of the world. general keith kellogg is in "focus" next.

>> harris: ukrainian brewery is doing its parts to help in the war effort. they switched from making beer

to making molotov bombs. the bottles feature an image after putin on them. the owner of the brewery says it's part of the nation's spirit united against russia. >> i have actually no doubt that we win. we will continue to do it because they are not facing only the ukrainian army but they're facing the army of 40 million people prepared to fight every step. >> harris: on friday the ukrainian ministry of defense encouraged its citizens to make molotov cocktails to defend the nation and posted instructions how to do it. i watched some of it on youtube. they're good at it. russian forces pressing their relentless campaign in ukraine for a five day now. the mayor of the ukrainian capital city says sit zens are holding their own. kharkiv coming under heavy shelling with the associated press saying dozens of people dead or injured. bill hemmer

at the touch screen with me. the latest. i'm doing okay. the latest on russia's troop movements. there are glimmers of progress with those ukrainian forces because look at what day we are now. day five and they haven't gotten to the government center. they have a lot of pressure from putin to get there. it is working for the ukrainians now and they have a list of things they'll want. >> bill: i thought the information that jennifer griffin gave us an hour ago was very telling. russia is in red on the map behind me. last thursday february 24th, okay, think about the north, northeast and south down here. it is subtle but it is real, right? you see that change? we go to saturday february 26th. again subtle but real. this is yesterday, sunday. you see the progress that it is making. might be a lot slower than vladimir putin but still gaining ground as they go here. this is kyiv in the north, kharkiv in the east, and in the

south here in crimea. this kharkiv is a big town 1.4 million people and there is video out there that is devastating and looks like a building is getting shelled repeatedly. i don't know if the ukraine military is inside the building. i doubt it. it looks like a residential area. this is across the border from russia kharkiv. we're watching this develop for days now. at some point either the ukraine army will hold them off or the russian army will plow through. this is kyiv, talked about the truce talks happening in belarus. so this is if i were able to this is your border now between belarus and northern ukraine and russia is off to the east. this pretty much follows the pattern that the pentagon has been talking about for a few days. a two-pronged approach coming from the north, northwest and northeast of kyiv and that would be the status of the

capital city. >> harris: may i quick ask a question? i had my hand in the air like a school kid. how far is that from that line that you drew until the end of the arrow? i'm trying to get an idea how far they've come not just in terms of what they've done but how far? >> this is in belarus golum where the peace talks are happening. this is the border. about 90 miles. this is about 160 miles. >> harris: okay. >> bill: ukrainian officials went there by helicopter based on the pictures i saw earlier. this is in the south. you know crimea was taken by the russians in 2014 and they've held it for eight years. an irrigation canall you can see right here where the tanks crossed as they head into the north ear in the southern part of the country. i think -- you have general kellogg coming up in a moment.

i think the southern area is something to keep an eye on. this town of mariupol on the coast population 400,000, that's where 2,000 russian marines went in over the weekend. if you are putin and you can connect the area that you took eight years ago with the town of odessa and this town over here, then you have yourself -- you have yourself a whole new band in the southern part of the country. many of the people living in this area are russian speakers, too. you can take that to general kellogg. >> harris: i will start there. thank you very much. another fox news alert. we have just received a letter from the ukrainian parliament to the united states congress and those parliamentary members are your gently requesting the following from the u.s. they need guided weapons, stingers, missiles, small arms like grenade launchers and other ammunition.

all kinds of communication, military portable radio sets, body armor and helmets and certain missile defense systems. let's go to straight to lieutenant general kellogg, former national security advisor to vice president pence and trump and fox news contributor. welcome and thank you for being in "focus." tell me about the list of requests and do they already have these things from us and we would be reinforcing? are any of them starting baseline and they are desperate? >> i don't think they are desperate but need more because they are using a lot of them. the javelins are the anti-tank system that we have provided and a top attack system and defeats any armor in the world. a banned portable system with a range of three miles. what i understand from the reports we're getting, it is tearing up the russians up and it should. it's the best system in the world. they need more equipment. we should provide that. we should be making it an unsinkable aircraft carrier t

more stuff we give them. they shouldn't have to build molotov cocktails. we should help with other equipment as well. >> harris: getting it to them as well is something that has been a challenge up to this point. i don't know how to solve it now with all the nato alliance support they have around. no one at this point has indicated they would go into ukraine. they'll have to work the borders to get the materials across. bill hemmer was here and had a question and was showing us through the maps that in the southern part of the nation that mariupol where he saw 2,000 marines, russian marines go into over the weekend, that that's critical. if russia can take that southern border area, they can really make some inroads. talk to me about that siegeically. >> they do. a great comment by bill. they are creating an enormous buffer around russia and odessa and the port in mariupol and connect it with the breakaway republics. they've created a big buffer if

they do that. however still the critical piece they have to do. they have to take kyiv. last week i pronounced that kyiv. i will go back to the ukraine way kyiv. that's the key. they have to take that. if they don't take kyiv they don't destabilize the government and do not decapitate the government. it is always important. they create buffer areas for them. they are slowly expanding like an ink blot on a map is what they are doing. the forces that ukrainians have in place are not protecting that area as much as they are near the breakaway republics and the north as well. >> harris: far away from there on the western side they try to get families to poland and other areas. half a million people have escaped a war zone already. it has been the focus. the next time i see you there will be no doubt more movement one way or the other and a huge player in this is the ukrainian

president. he feels like a co-soldier out there in terms of motivating people to do all they can. not just the military but everybody. a leader much like yourself, general. good to see you. thank you. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus". "outnumbered" is with us next after the commercial break.
