normal. >> you are asking for a lot, gentlemen. i'm not giving my hopes up on -- thank you both very much. stay tuned to fox news for continuing coverage on the war in ukraine. we've got our reporters live on the ground. trace gallagher is up next. good night from dc. >> and then you have the

horrifying sounds of war and the fox news alert. a new morning in ukraine brings more destruction. showing small cities with bombs as they march closer to the main target. the capital city you kyiv. right now there's a 40-mile russian convoy that appears to be making its way toward the capital. and world leaders fear a major attack is approaching. but the russians still have to drive their tanks and trucks through a major choke point and getting through there without a fight is very unlikely. i'm trace gallagher live in los angeles. it is 11:00 p.m. and nine in the morning in kyiv where despite the daylight, it is the start of yet another dark day across ukraine. a country entering its sixth they are fighting for freedom. we begin our team coverage with mike tobin. he is live in the western city of lviv.

>> all eyes are on that convoy. 40 miles long headed toward the capital city of kyiv. they have to get through chokepoint so it just ends to reason as people are watching that it begs the question of when a major offensive will come this estimation on the size of this convoy is coming through satellite image threes and the same group has pointed out on that belarus inside of the border, attack helicopters and additional infantry, which is now on the ground. the town of kherson is another town that we are watching. for control of the ground and access of a bridge which connects the may meant to the crimean peninsula. a town that will give access to the water. similar advantages have been gained at the towns of donetsk

and another town in that general area, giving the russians access to the water. and the brushes up gained some footholds in some of these towns were also watching the town of kharkiv, which was hammered yesterday by rockets, which resulted in indiscriminate rocket fire landing in the civilian population. word on the ground there is multiple in the terms of hundreds of casualties there. also just west of kharkiv, the head of the region there says a military facility took a direct hit resulting in the deaths of some 70 ukrainian soldiers. here to the west of the country what we are watching is a flow of refugees. the train station is jammed. more than 20,000 have gone over

the polish border and more than half a million have gone into neighboring countries. >> trace: i know you have been there since the start of the war . it is based six. you think the momentum is bending in ukraine's favor. you feel there is a change at all? >> well, what you have in the unchanging resolve of the ukrainian people. there believe that they can pitch in and you really do see an all hands on deck type of effort from the people who are joining the fight, the retired military men who are going to the concentrations of the conflict to the people who are back your making camouflage netting two molotov cocktails, which are being shipped to areas like kyiv and kharkiv, and they can be thrown of the russian army. after all this resolve you have tremendous unity at an ominous sign of the 40 mile-long convoy. >> mike tobin live for us. thank you. if there was ever any doubts

about russia's resolve to capture kyiv, mike was talking about the new satellite images, the convoy they are talking about is said to be 40 miles long, tanks and trucks is now creeping toward the capital city it is a slow rate of speed but it is still moving. so far it has not been stopped. that spring and lieutenant colonel daniel davis. as you look at the pictures up that convoy, it looks very ominous. i know that the go through a major chokepoint so there will be some resistance along the way do youth. this is different? do you feel like this convoy he might get in and surround the city of kyiv? >> there's no question that is what it is intended to do. i tell you there's much more ominous problems in the cell where you are responding to some of the fight this going on. most of the examination of that entire front shows that the russian forces have been making

substantial gains over the course of the six days and are now in a position to where they are close to posing a pinch or move a trap upwards of 45,000 ukrainian soldiers in there. one of the big disparities between the queen's and russian forces is that the ukrainian forces are basically an infantry organization that doesn't have much mobility and the russians have a great deal of mobility. if they shut them off, they can cut out the southern front of this border and turn all the russian forces back in the direction and there's nothing in between as i can stop them. the attention seems to be that they are both in the area of -- from the south into the mariupol area and they want to move towards kyiv in conjunction with that group coming down from the north and probably the biggest difference as it appears now that they're going to use heavy artillery, heavy rocket fire, and air power, which they have

mostly held in the van so far. i'm afraid no matter how brave or anything like that, the forces just can't stop it. >> you talk about air power. it doesn't appear that the russians have locked up the ukrainian air power because of some of these convoys that have been on the move as well, that is much smaller convoys i give you and they haven't seen the resistance that we thought they would see. >> that that they don't have it. they have severely degraded the ability and that's why you don't see any of that ukrainian air force. that any capacity to get in that whole -- that would be like shooting ducks of the barrel. the russians can but they just have a large them yet. >> is a significant games. we want to play the sound bite and get your response.

watch. >> this is going terribly for vladimir putin and his forces. they design that flawed concept and into kyiv, the capital, the main objective is to topple government and replace president so let's keep a somebody who is pro- russian. they've failed to -- their logistics are a mass. >> i'm guessing that you would disagree with that assessment at some point. >> without question that is how it started. that is a huge error that they made. we've now been able to identify a number of sources and rusher believe that this is going to be a cakewalk. they thought they could come in here. they didn't -- they can just drive some --

they doubt that they would melt away like the afghan army last summer but that did not happen. now that the got a bloody nose, they have learned from their mistakes. there is a two-day pause her most of these places and a lot of that 40 miles stop is logistics moving up. so they have learned from their mistakes and they expressly did not use a lot of their heavy power because they didn't want to destroy a lot of the infrastructure. now they are in a position where they are going to unleash all these things that they haven't done so far. so i disagree with general betray us. they made it air. now it looks like there. to do with the right way. >> of the people of ukraine need weapons and they need them badly were talking about antitank weapons. how well will they get them in? we talked about how the sanctions are slow on the weapons were slow getting into ukraine. >> i've got to be honest with you, it's not going to matter.

is going to be really hard to get them in their with the numbers that they need to because the last 34 hours have been on me a lot of the air feels the western part were some of that stuff might have been blown into so they can keep them from getting to where it needs to go. the bigger issue is you can't just add on a bunch of stuff in the middle of the warfare and think that's going to make a difference because it's the mobility, it's the training to have combined operations, which the ukraine just doesn't have very much of. is just not going to matter. >> trace: we should know in the convoy comes down by gostomel air base, it's a question right now who controls that and one of those convoy members will stay and fight and take that airbase over. it's always great to hear from you. still ahead continuing live coverage of the war in ukraine. for monitoring the hot spots coming under fire and the latest on the russian troop movement,

will talk more about ukraine and expect ukraine to be a big chunk of that speech. the biden administration them up if this is genetic want to go out there when it comes to serious talk about nuclear war. the present yesterday simply step know as the american should be concerned about nuclear war. this comes as the russian president announced that his nuclear arsenal would be put on standby due to what he calls more aggressive talks from nato and the united states. again can you have to remember that it is putin pressed a spin and united states has no plans to put our nuclear arsenal on high alert. >> it's important to remember that even over the course of the last several months and years we have had significant disagreements with russia over a range of issues. fresh and the united states has agreed that nuclear weapons whatever devastating consequences and said that a nuclear war cannot be won a must never be fought. >> the president spent time on

the phone yesterday with nato leaders from all of the countries working together and further to make life difficult for vladimir putin so he pulls out update ukraine. the white house announced sanctions targeting central bank block and utility to redistribute access and sanctions that were announced of the weekend, the ruble hit record lows against the us dollar force the bank of russia to close stock trading on the moscow exchange on monday. just hours ago the foreign minister tweeted that -- said ukraine needs more weapons and secretary plank in the short the us would help. >> getting those weapons and could be a bit of an issue. david, thank you. allies are standing behind ukraine to put pressure on vladimir putin after he used what was called a vacuum bomb. it seems be getting more aggressive each day and not

showing any signs of letting up. so what could his next move be? let's bring in retired brigadier general blaine hold. we talked to david about the whole concept that vladimir putin was even mentioning nuclear weapons, putting them on alert. what do you think about that. does it concern you? >> all of it concerns me. this drastic exponential escalation is something that we should also back and understand that this is no longer just about vladimir. and's private work on ukraine. this has got mobile ramifications when you do that with nuclear forces. thanks for having me. i am very concerned play but what i'm seeing, especially with these bombs. >> and you see what is happening on the ground. you see the french president, and says that putin told him he put not attack civilians and

then you look at the city of kharkiv and that is exactly what he did. he went after infrastructure and civilians. there's in most words you will find the information element and you have really got to trust and verify the information that you were told from belligerence on the battlefield. in this case absolutely he is saying things that are not true and what i can tell you is these vacuum bombs is what was used primarily, 113 of them. stairwell against the geneva convention and they are being fired so we should be blunt and honest about what we are seeing. and the cluster bombs are being used for illegally. >> and when did to get the point in your estimation where if in fact he is violating, committing war crimes, when to get the to the point where the west gets fed up and takes different action?

>> the west has been a few steps behind a single whole time. we should've started with some of the deterrence a few years ago when we saw the formation of turks on the re-ukrainian border so i think it's high time that the west get up front by this because this is not where we were three weeks to go when we are trying to stop this. this is a whole new place in the west needs to be talking about a range of developments. and i think that can also come out of pressure. he's not very popular with his own people right now. >> the white house has dismissed the no-fly zone. is that the recall in your estimation? >> i don't believe that is. i think you confront a bully with power and disbeliever. >> power. he doesn't respect weakness. so i think that there should be open talks and debates about a no-fly zone of what that can look like in this case. certainly iraq, libya, syria has no fly zones and they are not even nato partners and didn't

fight alongside americans. >> it is interesting because you look at the world scenario and you see the world become more united behind ukraine and in russia there are protests on the ground that they are becoming more divided. this is frustrating clearly for the president of russia. when does that frustration become a danger to the people of ukraine and the rest of the world. >> it is a danger now. we only go up from here. but we stop with those today become something far worse tonight when they get back at it again. and we are in a completely new place of going to start looking at this entire thing. a lot of people like to say things like they are not -- we can't really go in. let's not forget it wasn't long ago that we were in bosnia or coast the ball and coalitions of

the willing. the west needs to be willing could united states has even blocked the airspace yet. we need to be aggressive. we are the ones with the pump -- power. we need to take control. >> of the situation on the ground. we talked about the convoy. they picked go through that show cold and my question to you is you think that ukrainians have enough to -- and him at the take to at least slow this thing down and not before they can brace the city? >> as an airman, i can tell it's you that what i see is the ability to slow that column down , they need air. they need air support there and they need to be whipping up those columns from the sky. and i think that it doesn't have to be anything that is overwhelming. you just need to fully than those of the column. i don't think they have the fight in them if they are to

heard enough with the frontal stuff. >> i make you are well versed in diplomacy. the president has his first state of the union speech. but which you like him to say about this war in ukraine. >> i would love to hear him say that accommodation of vladimir putin stops now. i love to hear our president say that we are going to temporarily suspend our flirtations with the green new deal because at the end of the day while carbon may be harmful to the environment, to tony them is lethal and much worse for the environment and mica the president have resolved other i like to see our congress back it up and get behind him on that. >> very quickly we have about a minute left. it is from the us ambassador to nato and get your quick response on the other side. >> everyone has come around to see putin for the brutal dictator that he is that supports ukraine. i think that these are the

actions of a madman. >> and think he's right on the fact that we've all seen that he's a brutal dictator and aggressor. i think this question about the back half of his answers think this is the end up to. i think that he has gone past the point of no return. he was feared and respected at the g20 level and now he has reduced himself to the level. i think he should be very worried about that. this is a war of putin versus ukraine, not russia versus ukraine. >> thank you for the insight. >> great to have you. thanks for having me. >> the images coming out of ukraine are heartbreaking, heart rending. they are horrifying. citizens army their families and neighbors in a valiant effort to fight off the invading russian army. the battle for kyiv is now in day 6. we will have a live report on

the ground next.

thousands now bracing for the worst and lviv, ukraine, as refugees flow through the city and neighborhoods are turned into war zones. let's bring back mike tobin on the ground. what is the situation where you are right now? >> we are watching several points, and one is kharkiv. it's been an unrelenting attack yesterday. when you have an indiscriminate attack like he did yesterday you get collateral damage, unintended targets. one is a school and one of the things that you can see are the black streaks coming up from the windows. that indicates in addition to

taking a stripe that there was a fire that burned for some time. you find that the fire crews cannot necessarily get to something and put it out because they have so many things to put out and the plating prevents them from getting there. yesterday kharkiv was subject to this unrelenting fire coming in and the thing is it is indiscriminate when you use a weapon like that. it stands to greece you going to get a lot of civilian casualties and that is what we are hearing from the ground. also watching kherson, to the south of the country towards the crimean peninsula. there is a bridge that connects the mainland to the crimean peninsula and that seems to be the focus of this particular battle, all of this coastal towns, odessa, luhansk, they are all of key importance of may

have foothold in those locations of the remains to be seen that there can be challenge in all of those locations because they have to simply got there but if the russians are able to control all of those, that would mean control over access to the potter and that would mean resupply. it changes the dynamic for them. all eyes are public to the north of the country and that is on this convoy estimated at 40 miles long. a convoy of armor and infantry and weapons coming from the belarus border heading to the capital city of kyiv. a very ominous sign of things to come. >> and i think for context we should note that you are a middle east correspondent for several years and you seen your fair share of war. this one in the first six days as bit unusual. is it your sense that momentum

is shifting a little bit? >> there is momentum and shift on the part of the ukrainians in terms of spirit, morale, because so much of the ukrainian unification, so much of the world's behind them. unfortunately what the russians have is simply might with their army beat you hear people out here part of the resistance making making them molotov cocktails saying the russian army hasn't really been tested when they have been by the chechens. they didn't stand the fall to the resistance. that is what they say as they try to be brave in the face of such an ominous enemy but when you're talking about and armor call them some 40 miles long, that is tough. >> and quickly we heard a lot about the cease-fire talks today they were not successful but there was progress made in both sides alluding to that. do you think, is it your sense that in the days to come they say there will be more talks. is there may be a will to hold the cease-fire or do they need a deal in place before they stop

shooting? >> it seems they need to stripe a deal on a lease something. usually what you see with the cease-fire if they hold for a little while and then there is a skirmish that breaks out which gives way to all-out fighting and certainly we saw that in the middle east. let's see how it goes if there's anything that they can stripe a deal on. what the ukrainians want is an unconditional cease-fire. >> live on the ground. back to you. a massive wave of russian troops arching into kyiv right now. how all factor into president biden's speech. his first state of the used in. a national security expert joins us to break it all down.

the many heartbreaking in myriads -- images emerging, hundreds of thousands of families fleeing their homeland. those numbers expected to climb well into the millions before long. all of them fearing what vladimir putin may do next. with this now is national security policy expert. i want to quickly double back to this cease-fire talks have happened today. there was no deal but there was progress and there seems to be an appetite by both sides to find some type of -- do you think that the talks will assume quickly and is a possible that may be if they are close that they could call for a cease-fire and then work out the details later? >> given the troop movements are

the fact that president putin has not reached his objectives yet, he is putting in more assets. there is a convoy trying to go cap shut the city. if you are about to go first your adversary capital, coming to the negotiation table is futile and in the position of weakness. if you are brushing you have the beat the military power many times that the ukrainian you are many times larger than ukraine and yet you are having trouble in the first few days catching your basic objective and these are close to the russian border. while you are doing something wrong here. so if things go well for the ukrainians and ukrainians start to hold them and the east east and the south, they will have better bargaining position at the table for the russians to start their onslaught, but given

the fact of the ground the day and the fact that the russians are bringing in more assets, you see the heavy artillery an armor that is coming in, i think that they are trying to capture kyiv is much as possible, which brings up other concerns. and if they have failed so far, what are they going to do to achieve their objective which is back really grim pictures of syria and especially put the russians did in chechnya -- chechnya worth they took it over . >> and you're talking about some of the bombs there. is that the present potent hold 'em that they would back after civilians and infrastructure and use these bonds in kharkiv. i wonder if you think that vladimir putin is a war criminal >> i take a little comfort or zero comfort and what president

promises or offers. secondly there has been reports of use of cluster munitions in kharkiv. that is up one type international court opening investigation. especially in a city like kharkiv. that is definitely a violation of international law and president putin invading a sovereign country, going after a democratically led government and is using conventional munitions that are banned, yes, he is violating international law. if they want to go further east or come down to the port, the largest support in ukraine, was the russian military under putin pressing demands willing to do to capture these objectives

given their poor supply line and the fact that they had not achieved their objectives much to their embarrassment. >> and i wonder, you would think that you look at what is happening with putin and he clearly seems like he is frustrated. he is clearly angry and rushing out in the media responses over the last several days and you would think that he has got a lot riding on this convoy and if they can hold back this convoy, does he become even more dangerous at that point? >> he does, but we have no other option but to stop or at least slow down the russian military because you can just open up your cities and two invaders could you just can't do that. but remember this, putin has been in power for 22 years. it's not what advice he's getting, he is surrounded himself with many advisers who are telling him what he wants to here's the question is is the russian president the force from

reality and bottom-line one thing that has been extremely helpful here in hidden convoys and hidden -- the border city greater slope in and you've got hungary and poland and romania. javelins are coming in. there are pictures of people not holding one but two javelins in the streets of odessa and kyiv. not all economics sanctions but flood the streets of ukraine with that javelins and deal a major blow to the russian armor and if you look at the military, it's heavily reliant on infantry and if they want to bring back the tanks and their infantry carriers, armored carries, they will have to deal with american make javelins and providing many

weapons to the ukrainians, sort of soviet bloc, providing make 29 bull crumbs or offering to provide them to the air force, which is pretty much their bones at this point. so who could have brought such spirit of unity to nato, to take european community and the free worlds that mr. putin who had -- and he did it, topper say she was not the ukrainians what they need to hit russian tanks and russian armies. >> a lot of that legal aid is in some of those countries that need to get over and while you've got these tanks on kyiv's doorstep, you're still looking at some other weapons demanded i want to play this message from president walensky to the

russians. >> why do you need all of this, you russian moms, you russian teachers and entrepreneurs, just regular people. why do you need this? already 4500 russian soldiers are killed for the sake of what? drop your equipment and leave. don't believe your command, your propaganda people, just save your lives and leave. each hour we strengthen our country. >> now he is going after hearts and minds here. he needs weapons and is going after hearts and minds. he's trying to do this on two fronts. >> go home. a large number of russian troops we can see from texas and phone calls. now they find themselves in a war in a neighboring country and they are not welcome. time to go home. time to fraser places and get out of this conflict. i know you are the russian military and is going to be difficult to keep in mind the russian military is on fully

volunteer professional military from 18-27. every meal is required one year of mandatory service, so part of this is also shown lack of discipline. people like just leaving convoys an armor and trucks and just going because there's not enough your this resistance from the ukrainians. the bottom line is this is going to be hard. good luck holding onto ukraine because you're going to have an insurgency underhand the population of ukraine, yes, there's some russian speakers but not everybody is the holden to moscow. and ukrainians when you come to the center and south are going to fight tooth and nail for their country. >> it's easy to take a city. it's very difficult to hold the city. great to see you. thank you for coming on. >> you back. >> coming up come, is vladimir

putin desperate? a more dangerous vladimir putin possibly. we will explore that angle with the former secretary of defense next. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol.

continuing coverage of breaking news. ukraine is putting up a fight from keeping russia from gaining control of their capital, kyiv. as they meet resistance, is he growing more desperate with the stop former assistant secretary of defense for country weapons of mass destruction, thank you for coming on. we very much appreciated. as a rule we have learned for the last several years and several days we don't believe a weird that vladimir putin says but when he mentions nuclear weapons, people tend to listen. are we itching in that direction , served.

>> thanks for having me, threes. i think the short answer is that vladimir putin is not -- especially as the head of the russian federation and second most of the military might is on the sideline so he can increase from a conventional standpoint, assets is large -- as well as larger weapon systems the unconventional means are a possibility, especially the cyber front. we see what he has done there. but there is significant possibility that he can go that direction. [indiscernible] but from a biological and chemical standpoint, we know he has the means and the opportunity. >> and we know that he's done it before in syria. my question with then be what then. what happens then.

what does the world community do they're talking about a no-fly zone and the president dismissed that. they're talking about this nato effort involved in this and the answer so far has been no. but if you go toward those types of weapons, does the calculus change? >> it should. it should. let's look back. just in 2018, as we all know, vladimir putin used chemical weapons, previously unknown or not public weapon and the form of a -- and then again just in 2020, he mentions syria. he has condoned and support of those actions four years in syria, killing hundreds of women , men, and children. and so the opportunity, he does happen. and i think we should also highlight the biological weapons that the russian regime has.

over the course of the last number of years, he has used this information to state that us supported labs and all soviet states could be used to release biological agents or biological weapons against former soviet states. so we know from a use perspective he's done a it. we also know from eight this information standpoint he is willing to make claims that are absolutely frivolous and completely wrong. >> today it's about changing their alert levels. i'm going to play this soundbite and get your response on the other side. here is net price. >> it is sort of provocative rhetoric more than being unnecessary, it is dangerous. it adds to the risk of miscalculation. it should be avoided. we are assessing president putin 's directive at this time and i think you have heard us

say we see no reason to change our own alert levels. >> the key phrase for me, maybe it was different for you, but the key phrase for me as that it adds to the risk of miscalculation, meaning you start putting these things out there and something happens and you get frustrated and you do something really and this goes from being just about ukraine to being about the entire world. >> you are absolutely right. they have the largest, we talk a little bit about nuclear, the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, over 5,000. they have a triad just as the united states does. but the use of these weapons or the consideration puts this in a totally different perspective and it elevates the possibility and what the result could be to such a significant degree.

and vladimir putin, he seems to be struggling in this engagement but also internationally. we know that he is a pariah across the world and his desire for his runway for opportunity is trifle and these types of weapon systems, i mentioned the chemical and biological and obviously the nuclear are devastating and would create complete the world altering events. we've got to prevent their use and if any of them are use, especially these chemical and biological weapons, but most seriously there must be a significant response. >> while you've been talking we've been playing these pictures from today. some of them from kharkiv. he said he was not going to

target civilians and he did just that. i wonder if over the past six days you and other analysts have said including david trias today who said he has messed this up. this has been a very bad strategic plan by putin. he seems embarrassed about this and because of that is he more dangerous today that he was six days ago? >> i think he is most certainly embarrassed and he's absolutely embarrassed. i think that's the expectation was that they were would cross and take control of ukraine in a matter of a couple of days and in his mind hours and ukrainian people have fought with might and with honor and courage and it is something that they did not expect and most specifically vladimir putin and going back to the original question, that is

what brings the unconventional weapons, especially these weapons of mass destruction into consideration. he does not want to lose and as i mentioned in the beginning, he can ratchet up the conventional means i think that we should expect that as we are watching this convoy maneuver threw ukraine. i think the likelihood that -- especially to gain air superiority is the highlight but what happens next if they continue to get bogged down, do you use the use of some of these unconventional means. i think that is the situation that we will continue to ask. >> if only got a few seconds but i want to talk about the fact that the international opinion has changed with germany increasing its defense budget sending lethal weapons to ukraine. even switzerland is no longer

neutral. putin at some point has got to feel like this has got to end here. i've got about 40 seconds for you to finish. >> and you mentioned those countries. they are having slightly adjusted in both but they are saying about they're doing. beer he important and then something that will be meaningful for the world largely and i think that if you see an adjustment from the likes of xi in china, you think that that would be a significant departure at least from those that are aligned with him and could potentially adjusts the calculus and with that and what we are seeing both on the ground but also from additional support from other countries around the world. >> exceptional had sites -- insights. thank you so much. >> thank you.

>> and the question always becomes what happens next. and the answer is we don't know. we are in day 6 up the war in ukraine. it is nearly midnight on the west coast and 3:00 a.m. on the east coast and 10:00 in the morning in ukraine. their well into their sixth day of fighting and we will have a live report from lviv and dr. rebecca grant will react. breaking news now. ♪ ♪ >> [speaking non-english language]
