now control that strateically important city. he's agreed to a number of conditions to keep the ukrainian flag flying. he says he's asked russian forces not to shoot civilians and asked for time for the people of kherson to go out in the streets and in his words, collect the bodies. kherson, it is in the middle of the southern part of ukraine between mariupol and the port city of odessa on the black sea. both of those cities, russian forces are moving toward. if they take control of those two and kherson, they control pretty much all of southern ukraine, important bridge for them, they would push forward to encircle kyiv from the south. the president of ukraine says every ukrainian will continue to

fight to defend their nation. listen here to the president. >> they have orders to erase our country, our history and all of us. >> jonathan: russian forces continue their offensive, refugee crisis worsens. united nations high commission for refugees telling us more than one million ukrainians have sought refuge in countries like poland, maldova, romania and that number increases daily. thousands upon thousands of ukraines, mainly women and children because men age 18 to 60 are being told they have to stay here. women and children getting in any vehicle they can, some fleeing by foot in cars, on buses and cramming into train stations just trying to get to safety. a clear signal from the people

of ukraine while it is being bad enough over the last seven to eight days, they believe it is going to get much worse. carley and todd. >> carley: jonathan, we spoke to a woman from kharkiv last hour and she said life is hell right now with constant bombing and rocket fire. i'm wondering, how are peep nel lviv doing right now? how is their mental state? how are they handling this? we are on day eight of this war. >> jonathan: yeah, it is a very good point, carley. lviv is western side of ukraine and is as yet untouched by the physical scars of war. the mental scars are very much present. they are very deep and many people here are preparing for what may be to come. we met a group of foreign residents, among them, americans and canadian, they don't want

tos go to the front line. they are working out how to stop bomb shelters, working out whether to make homemade vests to send to the front line. everybody wants to do something. lviv has not been touched by physical elements of war, they are preparing for a lot worse to come. carley. >> todd: thank you, sir. white house discouraging americans from getting involved in the war in ukraine. >> so ukrainians have shown their courage and they are calling on every resource and lever they have to defend themselves. we ark mraud -- applaud their bravery, u.s. citizens should not travel to ukraine. >> todd: president zelenskyy calling for peep toll take up

putin agreed with xi not to launch the attack until after the beijing winter olympics and he complied. no holds barred. kharkiv is under assault by russians and area bombs hitting neighborhoods and forcing flights of refugees. one million people have fled in the last week, describing it as an exodus. one million people internally displaced according to un and earlier estimate might see four million leaving the country before it is all over, that could be an underestimate and it could be more. we are preparing as we watch the battlefield, todd and carley, worst fighting might be coming up and exodus might ramp up, as well. back to you.

perspective, this is one individual and we've heard stories over and over again of people galvanizing and bringing items to the region, if not to ukraine, poland and romania, beautiful to see. >> carley: we were speaking to the woman from kharkiv and i asked her, do people have food and blanket? how are they staying warm? she said that was a big problem when the war started, but now shipments of food and blankets are coming in, even for people live nothing subways. >> todd: ron has affinity for the people of ukraine, has been there a few times. we have ron back. can you hear me? >> yes, i can hear you. >> todd: go back to the are you getting the items to the soldiers? >> a lot of times we would send boxes, ship those over to a

location that would allow us to save cost as far as not sending suitcases on a plane. i took 10 suitcases recently. it is people in community and across america, individuals and churches are responding and helping with cost of the items that we're purchasing and to get things over there. >> todd: what is reaction when a soldier gets a care package? >> unbelievable. friends immediately. we went over there four years ago, we had no idea how far we would get as far as the front line and showed up down there 300 meters from the fighting and where the enemy was located. we get out and we're able to gather guys around in a circle and open the bible and start talking and trying to encourage

them and we immediately made friends. we had a great time and that has been the response we got. soldiers welcome us, they are glad to see us. we are there to encourage them, give them the word of god and encourage them so they know what they are doing is right before god, standing to defend sovereign territory. >> todd: ron jackson, beautiful mission you are undertaking. thank you for talking with us and sharing with us. over to you. >> carley: can we get him back up? go ahead. >> yes, someone mentioned there be opportunity to be able to send to america as well as to the world, opportunity to be part of this and we are with gifts and go, god loves ukraine and anything that is given is going toward gifts for the soldiers and refugees we're

odessa. >> todd and carley, good morning, statement from rusian prime minister lavrov says russians are ready for talks that is essentially statement of obvious given talks were already scheduled for today. unclear if the talks will go ahead. they points to second part of lavrov's statement the russians will continue targeting military infrastructure here in ukraine as something of lie, because it implys they are targeting military infrastructure as we have seen and as ukrainian authorities have said russians are doing far more than that and hit many civilian targets, in fact, ukrainian authorities say 2000 civilians have so far died as result of this russian offensive. russians have taken the southern

city of kherson, that may be strategically important. if they are able to connect with mariupol in the south but further east and odessa on the western side of ukraine in the south. those three southern cities could form important land bridge for russian forces and from which they are able to supply their line and move forward toward kyiv. move forward and encircle kyiv from the south. they are coming from the north, in the meantime, humanitarian crisis grosss, united nations confirming one million people, 2% of the entire population of ukraine have fled seeking safety in countries like poland, maldova, romania and warn that refugee crisis will become much, much worse. carley and todd.

>> carley: thank you so much. let's bring in congressman peter meyer. i want your reaction to what the russian foreign minister just said, ready to talk won't stop targeting u.s. military. sounds like more of the same, what say you? >> seems like a stalling tactic. if they want to talk about russian forces that invade ukraine, forces pulling back and coming to peaceful resolution, that is wonderful. as we've seen, their conditions are no, we're happy to stop fighting if we can maintain the territorial gains and try to demilitarize or whatever their excuse is to lock in the momentum they have had in invading ukraine. >> todd: it is ukrainians will not go for that, that is 100%

obvious. china sending a clear message. what should we have done to stop this china-russia partnership, relationship from flourishing in the first place? >> if we could go back 20 years and maybe have more conditions before china joins wto fantastic. where we are now, limited set of options, this makes it challenging. on the plus side, united way the nato countries have come together, it surprised a lot of us. it gave china a lot of pause and trying to figure out where they come down ultimately between supporting the west and supporting russia. they have made their bed and this is a long-term trend, we'll have to deal with, ultimately between china and russia, two geo strategic threats and challenges for the united states in the 21st century. >> carley: so much coming in on

the china front, they would not consider sanctioning china and will continue normal trade cooperation and we are learning china asked putin to delay invasion of ukraine until after the olympics and putin complied. here is john radcliff on this relationship between russia and china and what it means for us, watch this. >> if anyone was under any delusion china and russia are not working hand in glove against the united states. china shared our intelligence about his invasion plans with putin underscores the approach we are take withing our greatest national security threat. >> carley: this is monetary partnership between china and russia. how much does china swoop nothing, buying wheat and oil

undercut the sanctions we're putting on the country? >> it undercuts them, but it is no saving grace, not a lifeline. china needs oil. they do not have the energy they need, that is where we see that partnership come up. there are ways of isolated that, we forget how much strength in the west because of dependeny on oil. the biden administration sought to undercut american energy upon independence. we hobbled ourselves there. >> todd: we appreciate your time and pointing out this has been a 20-year unforced error. thank you for your time. the same person who inspired us with profound statements like like...

>> it is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is everyday. >> todd: back with more words of wisdom and vice president kamala harris is helping americans understand why the white house is still buying russian oil. >> carley: and we'll talk with joe concha coming up next.

ha, can anyone form a precise response to question that presents facts? the baseline or should be the baseline for being number one and two in the united states? >> joe: it appears to be quite the challenge these days and messaging is important and that is maybe why we're seeing poll numbers in the 30s across the board on major issues when it concerns joe biden and his team. many voters, including democrats, are having buyers remorse offer the choice of kamala harris as vice preside 38% of approval in her state of california. now she's supposed to be plan b or was going into this presidency and now she is plan z. if joe biden doesn't run, it is hard to see any scenario where

she replaces him because of answers like this, which seem to happen on a regular basis, guys. >> carley: in that sound bite, on the issue of energy allies stood firm and unified. energy is a domestic issue, if our allies buy russian oil, it doesn't mean we have to. florida governor ron desantis had interaction with college students over masks. watch here. >> you don't have to wear the mask. if you want to wear it, fine, this is ridiculous >> carley: joe? >> joe: ron desantis would be going away, favored to win the republican nom nagsz. he is consistent in his principles.

i am glad you played the whole sound bite. smr reporting -- choice, freedom, hell of a concept, hearing ron desantis demanded they take them off. no. this is theater and he is right, we saw during the state of the union. straw poll showed ron desantis getting 61% of vote, next competitors were in the single digits and that's it. he is the one candidate if trump were to run, trump supporters would embrace as warmly. he is another trump, except a younger version of him and perhaps without some baggage the former president may pring along. >> todd: new time magazine cover

honoring volodymyr zelenskyy. can you remember another leader galvanizing the world so quickly as zelenskyy has? >> joe: kudos to time magazine, thanks to solid reporting on the ground and social media, the world has learned how unselfish and courageous the people and their leader in president zelenskyy is. russia is targeting children and women, it is becoming crisis before our eyes. we are praying it could end sooner rather than later. the world is rooting on ukraine, it is inspiring and not much else to add to that. >> carley: translation of the headline is quote from what

volodymyr zelenskyy said during his speech to the european parliament. life will win over death and light will win over darkness. thank you for joining us. >> joe: have a good one. >> carley: russian billionaire oligarch says bon voyage to his $800 million megayacht, we'll tell you more coming up. talks set between ukraine and russia. >> sanctions don't seem to be stopping him, so what will? congressman ronny jackson is coming up next. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. cut. liberty m... am i allowed to riff? what if i come out of the water? liberty biberty... cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance

♪ >> todd: let's bo get to this fox news alert. ukraine hold peace talks for a second time. moscow says it will still not halt offensive as tanks encircle many major cities. ronny jackson member of the

house foreign committee and house services committee and navy veteran. congressman, i want to tap into your military experience because russia just took control of the port city of kherson. it's a critical location because it has access to the black sea. does this signal that the tide is turning in favor of the russians? >> absolutely. they have had a lot of difficulty, one thing we have learned throughout this whole process they are not as capable as we thought they were with conventional warfare. they can't fight at night. they have not air dominance conscript fighting unmotivated. tanks and awrmingd vehicles all over the roads run out of gas and abandoned. they are doing a better job. throwing more resources and more forces at this. but, yeah, this is a sign that they're going to continue to push these talks that everybody is talking about in belarus with the ukrainians and russians. this is nothing more than an effort to slow the process down so they can have more time to gather their troops troops and

move forward. they will slowly move in and surround all of the big cities and choke them out. eventually the ukrainians, unfortunately run out of ammunition and supplies and be in a bad spot and that's had when things will start to turn. we will have a difficult time getting stuff in there as time goes on as the russians occupy more and more of this country. >> todd: congressman, have you been outspoken against the biden administration and it response to this conflict. how do you say the biden administration botched it from the get-go? should have put the sanctions in place off the bat. whenever they were amassed on the border tough sanctions. started by sanctioning oil and gas number one. sanctioned putin, sanctioned the central bank. all of the big heavy sanctions some of them haven't been done like oil and gas right now. those should have been done immediately and the agreement should have been you pull your troops off the ukraine border and stop threatening the ukrainian people and we will release the sanctions. that hasn't been done. we are currently still buying, we, the united states, are

buying 600,000 barrels a day of russian oil $100 a barrel. globally they are getting a billion dollars day in oil revenue. selling their oil. it's unbelievable that we're allowing this it happen. we are actually financing their efforts to kill ukrainians. it's shameful. >> carley: despite president biden so far refusing to sanction russia's energy sector, you are seeing the private sector stepping up like companies in your home state of texas, exxon mobil, shell, they are cutting ties with russia and yesterday, fox business reported that over the past two weeks the u.s. has imported zero barrels of oil from russia does that mean oil and gas are doing the right thing even though the biden administration is hesitant to do so? >> yeah, i think they are. i think they see the writing on the wall a it's going to be a little bit dangerous operating in russia as time goes on. they see that this is not the

right thing to do to be complicit in providing funds and resources for this crazed dictator, this bloody dictator has no respect for human life to continue to kill ukrainian people. a lot of the people see a problem with that and i think that's what's going on with texas oil companies, too. they see this is absolutely not right. >> todd: before we let you go, you are a texan. texas had a big primary there on tuesday. what are these results of the primaries tell you so far about what we can expect come november when the actual elections take place? >> i think they are exciting win a lot of seats the democrats hold in texas especially down around the border area. we had a lot of great candidates that got elected and won their primaries that will win their general election. morgan luttrell and we had wesley hunt, monica delacruz down there. really exciting candidates. the other thing is that a lot of the candidates that won not just in texas but going to win other
