>> breaking now, an explosion at oil depot north of kyiv. battering ukraine. >> the kremlin claiming to have control of a key city, preparing for a bloody strike on the capital. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. second round of peace talks expected today. there is a clear picture of how deadly this has been in the course of one week. >> carley: doug luzader, greg

polkot are standing by. we start with jonathan live on the ground. jonathan. >> todd and carley, good morning. we get set up with extra lights in the grim daylight of lviv. grim news,as well, for ukraine as the russian military press their advantage across south of the country now. southern city of kherson is now in russian hands, news coming from the mayor of kherson himself, who says the russian troops showed up at city hall. he spoke to them and asked them "not to shoot civilians," and asked for time for the people of kherson to go out and collect bodies from the street. the bombardment of kyiv continued overnight and we have seen russian advances around the

southern cities of mariupol and now focus on the odessa, critical black seaport. we are hearing that russian war ships are in the black sea and heading towards odessa, that is critical because if the russian forces get control of odessa, they get control of kherson and get control of mariupol and they control the entirety of southern ukraine and can push forward from there to encircle kyiv. president zelenskyy says every ukrainian fighter, every male will continue this battle. listen here to president zelenskyy. >> they have orders to erase our history, our country and all of us. >> in the meantime, the united nations high committee for refugees announced we have passed the one million mark in

terms of the number of ukrainians who have left this country seeking safety in countries like romolda and most of all in poland. one million people, 2% of the population of ukrainian fled in the first seven days of this war. we now enter day eight. todd and carley. >> carley: jonathan, if i'm understanding correctly russian goal to travel from kherson in south all the way up to kyiv, the cities are 342 miles apart. if russia controls the south, taking over the country still a tall order, is that right? >> it is a huge task to take over a country the size of ukraine and it is a monumental one that is ahead of the russian troops. if president putin continues with this war. you're right, the southern cities in excess of

300 miles south of kyiv. they would have to take extraordinary amount of territory, but what they'll probably do first carley, try to hold the cities. they have to hold kherson and get control of kherson and odessa. that will not be easy, they would try to establish bridge heads there and move forward from there. none of it good news for those in the capital, kyiv f. russia is in the south, only objective is to take the capital and remove the ukrainian government. carley. >> carley: that is right. day eight, fighting continues. jonathan, thank you. aaron cohen, with the counter terrorism unit. great to see you. given what jonathan just said, what does ukraine need to do to win this war? >> first of all, i want to shout

out to zelenskyy, this is a very strong leader, regardless of his acting background, he's doing incredible job solidifying the ukrainian people to get them together to fight. as far as what they need to do, couple major factors. similar to israel, this country is being invaded by a larger force. the will of the people is important, the ukrainians are bonded, as the rest of the world. the russians are holding back in terms of their strategic capabilities. they have air superiority, they have battleships in the black sea right now. i think the ukrainians have made a very smart move by putting together this volunteer international battalion, where they've got thousands of volunteers coming in. the problem is, they are getting limited amounts of training and i think the ukrainian president

needs to bolster the training in order to be able to effectively combat the russians. what i mean, have you mix of different types of war fare. you have wint sxer woodd and urban areas and tanks are moving in. i think the key here is training and small unit tactics to be able to sabotage, hit, attack and then retreat as needed. they have to go back to the oldest play in the book, which is unconventional type of operations, that is the key here, that comes down to training and to get that training, carley, they have to start to lean on the private sector issue the private sector, private military companies, special ops guys, instructors, bring them in and start bolstering small unit tactics capabilities of the ukrainians. technically, they are all

reservists, not career soldiers, but can be trained. >> todd: what you just described, attack and retreat, that is how we have a country in the u.s., our soldiers did against the red coats fochlt kuks on russia main vulnerabilities, we heard supply lines near trouble. demoralize troops, call their moms saying we don't know why we're here and the temperatures is rising, grounds are thawing and artillery is getting stuck in the mud. what are the russian experiencing right now? >> they are experiencing lack of communication, these kids, 19 or 20 year old, conscript soldiers, with limited training. i don't know how long the pipeline is. as far as weakness, they have not been given information and the will to succeed is not

there. it is not a secret, guys that putin has been a career long thug in this neighborhood, a gangster, if you will. what i mean, this guy operates from a place of power. when you operate from a place of power, you're not leading, you're commanding, i don't necessarily think there is strong loyalty putin has amongst the conscript, same way zelenskyy has loyalty of the peep and he will world. the resolve is there. the problem is, they don't have nato to back them up. zelenskyy is late to the party, i'm hoping they will push that through. as far as weaknesses with russians, they haven't fought in a long time, they are not as salty as the americans. i think they are surprised at the amount of resolve the ukrainians are bringing to this battle and i think that although the russians have much more superiority in terms of

equipment and manpower and air superiority, at the end of the day, resolve of the ukrainian people combined with a lot more training in short periods of time with hit and run small tactics is the key. ukrainian wants to hold the russians, stretch this out, make the price to the russian higher than they can afford to play and do that by lengthening small unit tactics, extend this conflict. >> todd: it will be interesting to see if units like yours are called in at some point. i agree, i think that is one way ukraine can add more pressure. aaron cohen, we appreciate your time, thank you, sir. historical resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. >> carley: greg palkot is here.

greg. >> that is right. important vote for peace at the un, 141 countries weighing in at a special meeting of the general assembly in favor of resolution condemning the invasion by russia of ukraine and demand russia pull troops out of ukraine. only five countries voted against the measure, led of course by russia. here is what ukraine's un ambassador had to say. >> putin regime preceded to weapons. ukrainian and foreign citizens have become hostages of the armed aggression in ukraine. in ukraine, it is not my war, it is a mistake, the evil will never stop. >> the evil will never stop, strong words as fox news can confirm coordination between russia and china regarding timing of the invasion.

russian president putin assuring president xi they would not launch until after the beijing winter olympics game and that was commitment complied with. now no holds barred. kargiv is under attack. as noted earlier, un estimates one million people fled in just the last week, poland one of many people receiving the needy. it was estimated, guys, four million people could eventually leave, now the un says that could be vastly underestimated. this as russia ramps up what could be dangerous combat in the center of many of the cities in ukraine, including the capital kyiv. back to you. >> carley: thank you so much, greg. city of kharkiv has been

assaulted as residents try to shelter from the heavy bombardment. >> todd: julia joins us live. describe how horrific the situation is right now. >> hi, everyone. first of all, i would like to -- for those countries who are trying to help us. to the usa, who are doing everything they can to help us, we are here in kharkiv, we didn't this war, didn't believe it. now yesterday we had -- 90% of our -- at night they aim where the people live. there are no factories, no shops, no nothing.

of course people are afraid. we are trying to keep our children safe here. we are -- we were not prepared for the war. >> carley: julia, a lot of people are living in the subway systems, how are people getting food and staying warm? >> it was a big problem at the beginning, but our city government, we have volunteers and they bring constantly water, food supply and clothes or mattresses or anything they could. >> todd: is putin's targeting of the people hurting ukraine or bolstering their resolve? >> say it again, please. >> todd: is targeting of

civilians like yourself breaking the will of the ukrainian people or is it merely strengthening the resolve of the civilians to fight and fight harder? >> the result of putin breaking the law is our city will stop tanks without any weapons. united, they go where our cities are occupied with russian troops. russian soldiers, they -- ukrainian people could do. some of them lead, some of them ran. i'm sorry, i'm so embarrassed, eighth day without sleep and -- >> carley: julia, totally understood. i want to ask one more question. we know you are shelter nothing

place with your family, including your eight-year-old nephew. this has to be a confusing time for children. how is he doing? >> he spent last night in the basement and he said, he cried, he's afraid. he is keeping up with the -- i don't know when this will stop. today my sister is trying to -- maybe she will imagine. he can't stand it anymore. >> todd: man, this is horrible. >> we are being -- we can hear -- >> todd: obviously this is horrific for the adults, but like carley asked, i can't imagine what it is doing to the kids. julia, we are praying for you,

please stay safe as possible and hope to check back in soon. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> todd: this president biden will meet with his cabinet. >> carley: doug luzader has details. >> the president has a cabinet meeting regarding ukraine later today, he is trying to push domestic priorities. yesterday he was talking about infrastructure spending and did specifically mention russian president vladamir putin. >> president biden: he thought he could split nato, split europe and split the united states. demonstrate to the whole world, no one can split this country. >> doug: okay, there has been some unity in congress in terms of voicing support for ukraine and congressional delegation heading to the ukrainian border, there is growing frustration

because an aid package is stalled over questions of size and where the money would come from. >> now is the time for sanctions, it's time to get lethal aid over to the ukrainian army through strength and strong military, that is a principle the republican party has stood for. >> doug: pentagon announced nuclear test has been postponed in an effort to show restraints. todd and carley. >> carley: thank you, now over to ashley strohmier with additional headlines. ashley. ♪ >> coming to dramatic end, man suspected of shooting a police officer turns himself in. clayton county police say the man is suspected of shooting an officer and another man during a

>> todd: biden administration may remove -- from the terror list. offering to lift sanctions to get iran to sign a new nuclear deal. revealing the plan on twitter calling it illegal, illegitimate

and dangerous to security. they were declared a terror organization. and oligarch says -- mega-yacht, german authorities seizing the vessel from one of vladamir putin's inner-circle oligarchs, move is part of asset freeze on sanctions on him to putin. carley. >> carley: nasa -- -- russia did threaten to pull support from the international space station and talked about it possibly falling out of orbit and on to the united states or european country.

how concerned are you of that happen something >> well, right now i'm not concerned at all. we just had one of our signa spacecraft visits to the space station and it boosted to higher altitude. we are probably safe for the next three months. after that, it could become critical. we don't have another signas available, the russians have that responsibility to keep the space station at safe altitude. things will get interesting after that. >> carley: i'm hearing you say things are okay right now, this could be a big problem down the road? >> yeah, a very big problem. i mean, really where we are now, russia controls many components within the space station, they have a data management system used quite heavily, that we use.

the primary responsibility that they have is to keep the station up at a safe orbit. we could replace them. we'd have to have a quick program to build another signas or modify a dragon for space x and boost the space station back up, but in order to do that, we would essentially have to take over the station and the russians would have to agree to leave in an orderly fashion and turn the lights out in their part of the station, if they went. in other words, it is technically feasible to take over the space station without the russians. politically? probably not. most likely there is no down side for them right now to stay aboard the station and take care of the station. they get photo ops and publicity working with american

astronauts. we are in a partnership, a marriage, if you will, and we need to have a divorce. >> carley: homer, i was about to ask about that, we have this peaceful space partnership between the united states and russia and do you think that is something that can continue? you look at the atrocities unfolding in ukraine and does it seem appropriate to when it comes to space, pretend like everything is okay? >> no, it absolutely is not appropriate. it's going to be a bitter pill for nasa to swallow. we are going to have to take steps, i believe, to draw away from the partnership. it is not just united states, there are a dozen other nations involved, canadians, europeans and the japanese, so in order to get a divorce, if you will, from the russians, i think the vice president will have to call for a meeting of the partners of the

space station, except for the russians and we agree on an approach. i think what that approach will be, we need to decommission the space station probably within two years, it will take two years to properly decommission it. during that time, we'll have to work with the russians, it should be very business-like, no smiling, cosmonauts and restaurants shaking hands. our marriage is over. >> carley: major news event if that happens. quickly, one more question, we're running out of time. curious about this. the u.s. did impose sanctions that will affect russia space program, how detrimental is that to the space program? this is a huge point of pride for their country? >> sanctions are not as bad as what they are doing to themselves, the head of the

russia space agency has been doing a number of things, my mom used to call cutting off your nose to spite your face. he has a uk satellite system over there, he says he will not launch unless they give him guarantees that he can't do and he's shut down operations, so basically killing his commercial space program and so our sanctions are not, i think, the russia space program, commercial space program is numbered because of the bellicose nature of their chief. >> carley: an interesting conversation, thank you for joining us. read homer's memoir, "don't blow yourself up," thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> todd: always strong advice and interesting perspective from the international space station to cyber space, putin unleashing cyber war fare while missiles strike major cities.

>> carley: breaking overnight, russian strikes hitting an oil depot north of kyiv, causing a massive fire there. meanwhile, in the south, kremlin forces take control of the first major city. russia defense ministry says talk with local authorities will maintain order and the attack of kherson is underway. >> todd: next target is city of odessa. the offensive rages on, both sides prepare for peace talks

today. here is the latest. jonathan. >> todd and carley, good morning to you, russian forces have seized their first ukrainian city. it is the city of kherson, south of the country. the mayor confirming russian troops arrived at city hall and spoke to him there. he says he asked them not to shoot civilians and to give the people of kherson time to remove bodies from the streets. russian forces continue to press the offensive in kharkiv, in mariupol and again in the south and hearing russian troops are heading toward odessa via warships in the black city. odessa, another critical city that would give russian control of the south, if they get them, and give them a bridge head, from which they would move north to further encircle kyiv.

the united nations high commission for refugees announced number of refugees from this war has passed one million mark and is increasing quickly. vast majority of them heading toward safety in poland, many going to maldova, anywhere they can find safety in this increasing brutal war. >> carley: jonathan hunt, thank you so much. in russia, arrests of anti-war demonstration, according to independent human rights group. shocking footage shows multiple officers swooping in to arrest a holocaust survivor whose sign said "soldier, drop your weapon and you will be a true hero," and jailed opposition leader is calling for daily protest to signal not all russians support

the war. they certainly don't. >> todd: that visual, wow. sanctions hitting the russian economy hard sparking fears putin could retaliate by unleashing cyber attacks on the u.s. and other countries. >> the sanctions are a form of what they call economic war fare, so they will respond with weapons they have at their disposal. i would be particularly wary of attacks on targets that might affect supply chain vulnerabilities. >> todd: analyst kara frederick joins us with her breakdown. you heard that cyber expert mention the supply chain wrchlt do you feel our supply chain is most vulnerable? >> well, i think in so many ways, they are brittle. we get a lot of what we use from china, so that is the physical supply chain aspect. there is software supply chain

vulnerabilities, too. you might remember the solar wind pack, and the software supply chain, multitude of potential attack vectors in the supply chain and remember, we've seen multiple major cyber attacks under joe biden's watch. the pipeline, jbs, microsoft exchange, china-led state hack. devastating pandemic policies. i think striking another blow to supply chain would be like kicking us when we're down. >> todd: do we have the defensive capabilities to stop putin? >> i really think we do. the entire government apparatus in the u.s. mobilized to say, private sector, shields up. that is from the cyber security infrastructure agency. no matter what area you work in, critical infrastructure company, part of confines, part of our

banking system, if you're part of our power grid, it doesn't matter. every private company right now is a potential attack vector for russia. adopt heightened security and be on guard. update your system, use multi factor authentication, vpn, verify remote work access, it is critical every private u.s. company defend itself at this point. >> todd: from defense to offense, should we go on offense first? >> you know, when it comes to russian state actors, i think prudence is absolutely necessary, but nonstate actors, hack-vists, i cannot stress how they increase fog of war. lone actors might conduct an attack and we have to make sure that we are the murkiness of

atrib ugz, they do it on purpose, we have to act prudently, this heightens confusion when it comes to war and we have to be sure we're not letting certain attacks be interpreted as proxy attack by russia, we do have the power to defend ourselves, i'm worried about those other actors that are not gru in russia, critical to keep eye on that and make sure ark tribution is critical. >> todd: is there anything the average american can do to protect themselves or this is so high level it is out of their hand? >> no, the average citizen must act and defend itself like private companies. update your systems, continue to use multi-factor authentication, make sure your family is using it, as well. act as little companies, little platoons in and of itself. you may not be interested in

cyber security, but cyber security is interested in you. update your system, patch and test those patchs and do whatever you can to inoculate yourself against what i think is probably coming whether from russia or lone actors or hackers. >> todd: frightening, good advice. kara frederick, thank you. carley. >> carley: yesterday white house press secretary jen psaki being mocked for something she said about president biden track record with putin. >> the president was vice president last time russia invaded ukraine. this is pattern of horror from vladamir putin. >> carley: jimmy failla is coming up next.

>> carley: i'm ashley strohmier. city officials blame historic staffing shortage and police spokesperson says 30 officers left the department just in january alone. san francisco police department saying it has 1600 officers right now, well below 2100

recommended by a consulting group. senate confirm agsz hearing for supreme court nominee is set to begin on march 21. senators will decide whether or not judge ketanji brown jackson will replace judge stephen breyer. several republicans insisting they will treat ketanji brown jackson with dignity unlike democrats have treated republican nominees in the past. >> carley: white house press secretary jen psaki's comments pointing to president biden weaknesses on the world stage are raising eyebrows take a listen. >> press sect. psaki: the president was vice president last time russia invaded ukraine, this is a pattern of horror from president putin and from the cronies around him. it is more than frustrating. >> todd: jimmy failla joins us to react.

his own party rebuts his state of the union and now jen psaki making arguments against him, can it get worse for old joe, jimmy? >> jimmy: jen psaki is the yogi bera are politics, nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, it is way too crowded all the time. and to borrow from yoshg gi, when it comes to biden administration, it gets late early around here, todd. it is a mess right now. it is true. what jen psaki was trying to say, biden understands putin. what she was saying issue putin understands biden. career pol tigszs are easy to read, they are more concerned with politics than the actual people affected by what they are

doing. he saw biden do this in afghanistan, tried to tell us it was a success, instead of own it. and saw biden do this in ukraine. sanctions, sanctions, sanctions and when putin invaded, he said, i never said sanctions would work. how could putin not be laughing at him. >> carley: i wonder what you think about the conversation surrounding putin's mental health. high-profile people like condoleeza rice say they think something is different about him. he has always been menia cal kgb thug and found window of opportunity to act out now. >> jimmy: who are we to accuse another country's president to be out to lunch. like bob marley saying somebody smokes too much weed. >> carley: no president should

be compared to putin, you are not saying that, are you? >> jimmy: no, i'm saying we're calling putin mentally unstable when we are being mocked around the world for having a president that's elevator doesn't go all the way to the floor. putin, riding around shirtless on a horse is embolden by what he sees in the white house. we are buy thanksgiving guy's oil left and right. he does not take us seriously. never get in a fight with someone and say before we throw punches, do you take venmo. that is the problem we have. we are not hitting him where he might respect us. i'm not calling for war, i'm calling for boost in energy independence to show him we need

mean business. >> todd: democrats decided covid was over march 1. when did democrats get the jesus-like power to heal? >> jimmy: so brazenly obvious, but what is funny about the transparency, we've known this was the case for a year. how many times have we talked about a democrat violating their own mask mandate? they never took this serious. democrats have been the person who comes over to your table, excuse me, sir, this is a no smoking section and they light a cigar and walk away. we always knew it was politics and that is part i think is hilarious, they thought they were fooling us at any juncture, that is the problem they have now, people see through the transparency of it all. we are just dumb. people who are upset about

ending the mask mandate, you have option to wear your mask so leave us alone. i don't make you put on a jacket so i don't get frost bite. >> carley: you have to wonder, 2-1/2 years of mandates and democrats treating unvaccinated people like they are evil, lepers, you can't get near them. will it work in time for this to matter, when it comes to mid-term elections? people don't have short memories when it comes to these things. >> jimmy: they took it too far, what happened, especially with kids, this became a parental thing, not a political thing. people have seen brazen disregard for kids and for us. that is the thing. this point in new york, only people who want to wear masks are knicks fans who want to cover their face in public. >> todd: 100%. jimmy failla issue great to see

you on thursday, as always. congresswoman aoc looking to expand with two candidate necessary texas, fighting to keep the lone star state red joins us live. >> carley: keep it here for coverage of the latest breaking news out of ukraine. congressman jackson and peter meyer are joining us live, don't go anywhere.
