barrel. >> could easily replace the russian supply. domestic supply if this administration did. >> the pentagon just announced that a scheduled u.s. nuclear missile test has now been postponed. >> we do not take this decision lightly but instead to demonstrate that we're a responsible nuclear power. >> brian: all right. here we go. straight to a fox news alert. a russian missile slamming into an oil depot north of kyiv. this happened overnight sparking a massive fire. russian foreign minister vowing the shelling will continue as russia and ukraine prepare for a second round of peace talks today. >> kremlin forces are taking control of the first major ukrainian city. as negotiations to maintain order in kherson are underway now. >> pete: russian warships zeroing in on moscow's next target the city of odesa and the important port there. jonathan hunt joins us live from lviv with the latest.
3:02 am
jonathan? >> pete, brian, ainsley, the russian forces now have control of their first ukrainian city. it is the strategically city of kherson in the south. the mayor of that city confirming the russian forces are there, saying that the ukrainian flag still flies over city hall in kherson. but he is only being allowed to do that by agreeing to a number of conditions. the mayor also saying rather grimly that he has asked russian forces not to shoot civilians and to allow the people of kherson time to take the bodies off the streets. in the meantime, russian forces are stepping up their assault on several other cities, mariupol also in the south and then as you come across the southern coast to odesa, that critically important black sea port, we understand the russian warships are headed there. they may have already arrived. and the russians clearly want to
3:03 am
take odesa, kherson and mariupol, control the entirety of the south that gives them a land bridge from russia right across the south and from which they have could then push forward and complete the task of encircling kyiv from the south. but president zelenskyy of ukraine says the ukrainian people will fight for every inch of their country. listen here. >> they have orders to erase our history our country and all of us. >> in the meantime the united nations high commission for refugees has now announced that the number of people who have left ukraine seeking safety in countries like poland, romania, and moldova have passed the 1 million mark, a full 2% of the ukrainian population in just the first seven days of this war.
3:04 am
and clearly as the russians continue their bombing of what ukraine says are military and civilian targets, that humanitarian crisis is going to get much worse. pete, ainsley, brian? >> you know, jonathan, it looks like they are taking, when you look at the map, it looks like they're taking all of their border towns, they started with crimia, then they went to the east. but even up at the top at belarus they have belarus in their corner it looks like they are taking the top all the way down to the bottom. now they in the back see. trying to get those cities around the black sea the next step is odesa. are they going to try take over all of the eastern portion of ukraine and then move west? what happens then when poland and slovakia and hungary and romania are in trouble? >> well, obviously, it's very difficult to read exactly what president putin's end game is here. but clearly he is trying at the moment to encircle kyiv. if you come in from the east and
3:05 am
then you are coming in from the southern cities now, odesa, kherson and mariupol, you can encircle kyiv. what he has to do from his point of view is force the ukrainian government to give up. something president zelenskyy has said will never happen. but as they begin to choke off those southern cities, the eastern cities, then they can press forward and try to choke off the capital city itself that is the end game for now. but where it stops after that ainsley, is frankly anybody's guess. and clearly, they could be in the position, if they take kyiv, to move furnished west. that will make countries like poland, moldova and romania very nervous indeed. remember, there are already russian forces very close to moldova had in the area. so that will be a great concern, too. the bottom line, ainsley, nobody knows where this end if the russians are indeed able to take
3:06 am
complete control of ukraine. >> ainsley: we know it's bigger than what they thought it was in the very beginning. thank you so much, jonathan. do you all have questions? >> pete: john thanks i have one more question. the bombing at the beginning appeared to be focused on military targets targets of interest to the military. it's become much more indiscriminate. as far as you know is it a targeting of civilians? a more broad bombing of civilian infrastructure and what's psychological impact on ukrainians there who maybe thought at first it was a military campaign and now it's becoming directly at civilians, it appears? you hit the nail on the head. the psychological impact of hitting civilian targets cannot be under estimated. sowing terror among the ukrainian people is a use of way of moving forward for them. let's face it, we have seen it before from president putin look
3:07 am
at the war in chechnya indiscriminate bombing. this is straight out of president putin's playbook. you go after military targets because, of course, you want to degrade the military in the country which you are trying to invade and control. then you start the campaign of terror by taking out civilian targets, too. those are twin prongs of putin's program that we have seen before. and we appear to be seeing playing out now here in ukraine, pete. >> brian: i see this report in the daily mirror, jonathan, that they have radio intercepts of russians defying orders to shell towns, screaming that they have no food and fuel, on camera captured soldiers saying they had no idea where they were going. they have no idea where they were heading. and one of the calls was we were thrown in as gun meat. have you heard some of this confusion among russian soldiers and if you haven't, it's okay.
3:08 am
i'm just telling you what the british have found out. >> yeah. right, brian, there's a lot of this out there on social media, obviously it is very, very difficult in these circumstances to verify a lot of this. but, certainly there are posts out there showing russian soldiers who have allegedly surrendered and who appear to be staying and there have been texts as well back home saying that they did not know what they were doing. they thought they were going on training exercises. for instance. they thought they were coming into ukraine but that they would be welcomed with open arms by the people here. problem is verifying any of this. as pete will tell you, very well, in war, both sides want to use the weapon of propaganda as well. so, sorting truth from fiction here very difficult. i would always urge caution in looking at anything on social media. we are approaching it in the most response sin a we can. but certainly from the amount of
3:09 am
information we are seeing there would seem to be some truth to the idea that some of these russian soldiers did not know what that what they were headed into. and now that they're here, do not want to be here. he brian in a big picture i think there are a few things going on. the russians tactic is very simple. total annihilation. they are looking to raise all these cities and the best they can the ukrainians are going to look to hold on on the other side their best hope massive sanctions that isolate russia in a way that vladimir putin can no longer rule. and it doesn't seem that time is on ukraine's side. >> ainsley: there are so many of those videos that jonathan is talking about going around on social media. i think yours is source because it's from a newspaper.
3:10 am
but for ours, many of us here in america are seeing things online. i saw one video of a man crying because he says he was a russian soldier. the ukrainians were feeding him. he said he didn't have any food. and didn't have shelter. so they were taking him in and loving on him. and facetimeing with his mom back in russia. he was crying. he was saying, mom, i didn't know what i was going into. who knows if that is a propaganda video. i know there are two russian news outlets the media regulator in russia says he is going to block their coverage if they do not remove the coverage of this invasion. he says it contains false information of terrorist attacks. one is a tv station and one is online. >> pete: these reports of russian troops the question is whether those are the exception to the rule because you see these -- the columns of tanks continuing to move across the country. so the bulk of russian forces continue to stay in the fight. we are hearing reports of logistical complications, food fly supplies that's all real. putin's army is more bogged down
3:11 am
than an tis baited. the sorry how quickically stingers, javelins, the small can use against the big to dis -- to take out tanks, to will take out helicopters. how quickly can they get there a race against time. brian, you mentioned this the other angle how do you isolate vladimir putin. [does he care is a big question. there was a resolution at the u.n. yesterday condemning russia. and a couple of countries around the globe, i think we have a map, stood with russia. and there weren't very many of them. and they are predictable. it was, you know, cuba, venezuela, belarus, north korea, and then china abstained. and we continue to see this alliance between china and russia. ultimately condemning what's going on in that country. so, can the international pressure come quick enough to change putin's calculus while delivering putin's weapons to balance out the battlefield this onslaught is real and not stopping. columns of tanks are coming.
3:12 am
bombs are raining down only so long can you hold out when you are outmatched. >> ainsley: russia voted know all allies of russia. north korea, syria, belarus a close ally of russia and eretria. the eu is saying that china has asked russia or did ask russia to delay the invasion until after the olympics. we have heard this probably wouldn't happen until after the olympics. well the e. is confirming that and saying china asked for that they are working hand in hand and that's what john ratcliffe said. listen. >> if anyone was under any delusion that china and russia aren't working hand in glove against the united states, this episode regarding the fact that the china shared our intelligence with russia on -- our intelligence about his invasion plans with putin really underscores the point and shows the naive approach we are taking with what is our greatest national security threat. it's really inexplicable and it
3:13 am
does not portend well for the next three years. >> brian: it doesn't. one thing i have noticed and has been reported i don't have a small camera on the ports in china but they are not rushing to buy russian oil where a lot of these other countries are not refining the oil, sweden, separate countries i mentioned yesterday. you the "wall street journal" will texas and finland. i'm not going to refine it send the russian oil here we are not going to get it the chinese have not rushed to fill that gap yet for russia to kind of back stop them. also as important about an hour ago, the foreign minister lavrov spoke to the appreciation even took a question or two from the american press. where he essentially says, america is looking to dominate europe like nazi germany and knappen and we are not going to let that happen. he also said we had to go into ukraine because of the natsification of that country and the horrible things they were doing to russian speaking
3:14 am
people. there is nothing more fictional than what i was witnessing and transmitting with the world press by a guy clearly smarter than that this is not even a coy and cunning way to try to sell your side of the story. this is telling i'm telling the most ridiculous thing can i possibly say that not a person in his right mind would believe and the hell with you that's how saudi arabia justifying their act? >> pete: that's their story and they are sticking to it their actions are ultimately cold, calculated. looking at what is happening in the south. crimea start, needed a staging area. going after all the ports, black sea to strangle ukraine and try to bring to its niece. that's all propaganda rhetoric and lies as you pointed out,
3:15 am
brian, it's the rationalization they are going to continue to use. >> they are shutting down media outlets there because they don't want the russian people to know the truth. they're lying to their soldiers as to why you are going. in just going for training. oh by the way now that you they're you need to start a war. they're arresting people who are protesting against vladimir putin. and this invasion. and charging them possibly with treason there was a holocaust survivor, the elderly lady who was holding up two signs and she was arrested. she looked like she was maybe in her 90s and just peacefully protesting and arrested because she disagrees with us. >> brian: it gets worse. watching this morning on sky tv where a best of your knowledge of children were arrested outside the ukrainian embassy in st. petersburg for putting signs that said no war and putting flowers on the doorstep. you see 7-year-olds in -- behind bars right now crying. not a real thing it's a complete
3:16 am
aokay crazy you don't get to protest. shallow graves all over eastern europe due what the communists are willing to do. >> our reporters were talking about in kherson that town next to the black sea captured by russian the leader came out of city hall and pleading with the soldiers please do not kill our civilians those dead on the streets allow their family members to go out and gather their bodies. >> pete: that is a new nugget. that footage we are seeing is this kherson. the city taken over by russian troops. they stormed a city council meeting and said we are in charge now interesting to noted jonathan say the ukrainian fly still flies as agreement between the russian troops that are occupying it and the government there it does suggest that as vladimir putin indicated they know they can't occupy this country. they are trying to capture it and cut off the current ruling
3:17 am
zelenskyy and ruling government there and replace it with a stooge a stooge can be in charge under ukrainian or russian flag like we see in belarus. >> brian: they had a snooj 2014 and people threw him out. 16 minutes after the hour still ahead the biden administration is pushing us to buy american for every product except oil. and it turns out even they don't understand why. >> understanding that right now on the issue of energy, our allies have stood firm and unified in a way that many of the pundits didn't predict would happen. >> brian: thanks for that the confusing explanation still ahead.

be. >> brian: president biden traveling to wisconsin to pitch his buy american initiative but as oil prices surge to more than $110 per barrel, his vice president is struggling to explain why the u.s. is still buying oil from russia. >> is that something that the administration would continue -- would consider in terms of further sanctions, cutting off the oil and gas part of the economy for russia? >> well, as you know, on this issue, for example, we applaud germany, in terms of what it has done as it relates to nord stream 2. as it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have reevaluated what we are doing in terms of the strategic oil reserve here in the united states to make sure that it will not have an impact or we can
3:23 am
mitigate the impact on the american consumer. but, let's -- let's take this one step at a time understanding right now on the issue of energy our allies have stood firm and unified in a way that many of the pundits didn't predict would happen to ensure we are unified in our issue. >> brian: don't adjust your television or bang the side of the set. she didn't answer the question she answered a different question. here to react -- i'm not sure what that question would have been -- the most of varney and company stuart varney. >> i'm not sure what she said. >> brian: she didn't want to answer the question. >> the administration does not want to ban russian oil coming to america okay. but it's being not banned but restricted already. refiners don't want to take it shippers don't want to ship it. there is a restricted supply already. look what happened in the market. energy inflation surge. overnight the price of oil from texas, texas oil has gone from
3:24 am
$115 a barrel. the price of gasoline has gone up 8 cents overnight. and it's up 30 cents in a month. just as important, diesel is now averaging $4.11 a gallon can you imagine a trucker with 100-gallon tanks. $500 for a fill up. a month ago $400. $400 gasoline can coming to america this month and that's for regular and 10% inflation is almost certainly coming to america because of what is going on in the energy markets. >> brian: we have been over this. we are the best customer russia has when it documents oil and use for. use. canada says i don't care, i'm not taking it europe has not said that china has not backfilled like everyone thought they would right away. but, when you look at -- if you are president biden, and you do what i think is the right thing and say goodbye russia oil and gas, what does that do to the price of oil and gas? >> price of oil and gas goes up.
3:25 am
gasoline goes up. that's what happens if we cut off the supply of oil coming to america from russia. >> brian: can we just get it somewhere else. mexico, canada, america? >> the obvious answer is that we go get our own oil. start drilling again. start fracking again. open up the pipeline. that's what we should be doing. and everybody knows it. but he can't do it because the greens won't let him. >> brian: so russia is really not going to fill the pinch because most of these contracts have been signed and money paid what out there right now. correct? >> wait a minute. they are feeling the pinch big time. their assets, their $620 billion worth of foreign currency is frozen. that central bank is frozen. they can't get at it. so they can't get paid for the oil which maybe is on the high seas right now. they are in absolute financial chaos. their economy is crumbling. that's a big deal. >> brian: can you imagine how big a deal it would be if we would sanction the energy -- the banks that have the energy --
3:26 am
have the energy company as clients? >> then russia is almost immediately bankrupt. default on its debt. you are back to the 1998 situation. bipartisan. >> brian: europe says then we don't have any oil and gas to heat our homes. >> right. it's a tradeoff between energy from russia going to europe and america versus energy cut off from russia, raising the prices in europe and the supply. >> brian: just so you know the people and can you back me up or refute this, that if you pledge and lay out the plan to drill here more, buy differently, while laying off of russian oil, that would also mitigate the amount of damage increased in prices because we would have the plan for people who are betting on futures. >> if president biden announced the plan this morning, that we're going to drill again, frac again, and pipeline again, that would change the market significantly. because you have got a plan to raise supply in the future. it would mitigate the current surge in energy prices. he won't do it because the
3:27 am
greens won't let him. >> brian: stuart varney 9:00 to noon fox business. thanks so much. go up to carley shimkus who has more breaking news. >> carley: certainly do. we are going to start with a fox news alert. a hours long manhunt in georgia coming to dramatic end as a man suspected of shooting a police officer turns himself. in clayton county police say the man issonned of shooting an officer and another man during a robbery at a shopping center. both the officer and the man are expected to be okay. at least 71 police officers have been shot in the line of duty so far in 2022. that's a 61% increase over the same time period last year. at least three people are dead after a major 25-car pile up on a florida interstate. video capturing a massive fireball that police say may have been sparked by a semi-truck involved in the crash. police say children are among the injured, but it's unclear exactly how many people are hurt. police believe smoke from a

>> it is my moral obligation since we live here in ukraine, these are some of the best people in the world. they are as good as any of our allies and friends in america. i love this country, and when it invasion started, i considered it my obligation to stand up and defend these people. >> pete: when you say what are you actively doing? are you training? are you prepared? and the extent to which, you know, what kind of combat, how close is it to you? give us a situation of what you are involved in right now? >> yes, we are in a combat zone right now. in fact, overhead right now we do have russian aircraft. we have had helicopters intercepted today. if sirens come on we might have to take shelter. we have been, georgia legion has been in ukraine for many years since their own country fought for. they say next. i joined them a month ago to help train civilians and also fight if necessary here in ukraine. >> pete: what's your sense of the resistance on the ground,
3:36 am
paul? we hear reports of so much of the ukrainian army is tied up in the east in the anticipation the attack would come in the donbas and it has. the extent to which you can and i understand operational security. but the disposition of forces is it mostly the ukrainian military joined by civilians or what does it look like. >> yi, so the ukrainian military. the regular army fighting tooth and nail to defend their brother sisters and families. they have been fighting extremely heavy on all northern eastern fronts. they have been holding back fighting and fighting extremely bravely. ukraine is also activated their all civilian military aged males to join the reserves. the georgia foreign legion is training hundreds every day. out there. there is americans, there is brits, can a made yans and all people from free countries of europe and america beyond are here training i have been basic

fighting alongside and there to support his country no matter what happens here. it's obviously devastating to watch. the saddest part of all of this is that so many of us think that this didn't need to happen. that it was because of bad decisions by the biden administration that russia was able to invade ukraine. they had the money and leverage to invade ukraine because of the terrible energy decisions made by the biden administration. so, it's horrible to see it come to this. and sadly, i think we're going to see more of this continue. this is just the beginning, i'm afraid. >> ainsley: our hearts break for all of the folks there in ukraine. we are all praying for them. makes us grateful that we have our freedoms here in america. ronald reagan said we are one generation away from extinction. i know you left new york so your kids could be free from the masks and other reasons down in florida. there is no secret that governor desantis has been opposed to the mask mandates and said i'm going to defund some of these school districts if they continue to push them. he was speaking yesterday at the
3:47 am
university of south florida about funding for signer security education. there were some high school kids behind the podium. there were seven of them. some of them were wearing their mask and he called them out for doing so. said you are allowed to take those masks off. watch this. >> you do not have to wear those masks. please take them off. honestly testimony not doing anything stop with covid theater. if you want to wear it, fine. but this is ridiculous. >> ainsley: lara, the cdc did say that millions of americans who have been masking no longer have to do so. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i mean, that's governor desantis. that's why so many people love him. he generally says what i think so many people are thinking and he has been really steadfast in how he has approached covid from the very beginning. he said this is a free and open state. if you want to wear a of course that, you can. but i'm not going to force you to do anything. i'm not going to force your kids to do anything. you think about the fact that as you pointed out, ainsley, the cdc has said people don't need
3:48 am
to wear masks anymore, right? look at the state of the union address. loosk at the president of the united states standing up there in front of the country no mask on in the chamber full of people with no mask on when just hours earlier this man was walking through an open field by himself with mask on. it has all been theater. we know from the beginning so much of this has been theater. we know the efficacy of mask unless it's an n 945 mask it's not going to work. it wasn't wrong there a lot of masks those kids had on wouldn't provide them any protection. i think about the detrimental effects to our future generations, younger generations. we he know how bad the masks are for them. can't concentrate in school. socially impediment to them. then is, it really living life if you are living in fear? sadly i think so many people continue to live in fear so, i'm going to say good on ron desantis. he said he you can keep it on if you want but you should take it off. i think we can all agree.
3:49 am
>> ainsley: the superintendent said the students and parents finance their choice if you want to wear the mask or not. is he a favorite among conservatives. you saw cpac. your father-in-law number one if he wants to run. they support him. if he doesn't run, they support ron desantis. thanks so much, lara, for coming on. >> thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: you are welcome hand it over to carley for headlines. >> a stanford soccer star is found dead in her door room. katie meyer goalkeeper and named can't of the women's soccer team twice. she credited with leading the team to a 2019 national championship. her family taking to instagram to say they are heart broken. her cause of death has not been released. at least 14 people are dead following one of the worst floods scene on australia's southeast coast in more than a decade. authorities estimate 500,000 people have been evacuated after days of excelsive rain fall. thousands under evacuation orders today as recovery efforts begin. clean up efforts being made

worse by landslides triggered by that rainfall that have made some roads impassable. all right, ainsley, sending it back to you. >> ainsley: check with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. hey, janice. >> good morning, ainsley. take a look at it a little chilly in the northeast. northern tier of the country are colder than average temperatures. the rest of the country enjoying warmer than average temperatures. take a look at the maps. show you what's happening. 40 in new york. feels a little colder than that 30 in chicago. next b system arrives into the west. we have a couple of strong storms that are going to move into california and then spread across the rockies and then the plain states bringing quite a bit of mountain snow. we could get 1 to 2 feet syria nevada heading into the weekend and the rockies and plain states. winter is not over yet. your forecast can you see where we have above average temperature for the southern planes in towards the southeast and cooler temperatures remain for the northern tier including the northern plains, the great lakes and the northeast. we will get there, ainsley, i

pete poet more than half of the ukrainians fleeing their war torn country. >> brian: joining us live now on the ground in poland. connell, i hear the number overall about a million. a million refugees. >> just topped 1 million refugee camp the bus came in from the border. every so often they come about a 20 minute drive from the border to hear. more women and children moms [inaudible] these people long journey we have have heard two
3:56 am
days three days four days. one woman was saying who travel with, take a listen it's sad money paying people go. there are many cars on the road. near the border a lot. >> did it take you a long time to get across the border? >> yes, but the people help us with because we have children but without children it's really really so many kill meters you have to wait. >> young children with their moms. maybe you get across faster if you are traveling with children. one thing that's important to realize. you guys were talking about the numbers in poland. somewhere between 500 and 600,000 officially that doesn't tell the whole story. that's not the end of the journey for many of these
3:57 am
people. this is a europe wide story. when you get to a camp like this. there are other buses here usually from volunteer organizations offering to take you to germany, czech republic you name it free of charge for ukrainian nationals. these refugees will end up dispersed through the european continent not just in the border countries. guys, back to you. >> ainsley: when we were live with you a few days ago you some didn't speak english. you found one man who did he is from ukraine. he is going back into the country i'm here in poland i need to be there. that's my homeland and i need to go fight. have you encountered any more like that. >> yes. two different types of people like that, ainsley. that gentleman that you referred to obviously was as you said he was getting back in the fight. had been living somewhere else in europe. the ukrainian government said the other day that there were 08,000 people come across their border back the other way since the fighting began. that was the estimate they gave. the other type of person we met
3:58 am
yesterday was mother came across with two sons and her mother dropping them off to safety here in poland but she was going back. her husband was still there she didn't want to lee her husband. leave the kids with family members here and she was going back today across the border. so we see that as well. >> pete: connell i know we are a long way from a resolution of this. as you are talking to these refugees, what are the conditions in their mind of when they would return? i mean, who is in charge? how safe is it? what's their calculation? >> >> so, you know, it's funny you ask that, because, you know, as you as you might expect i asked that question to a lot of people. the answers are all the same. i don't know quite frankly how realistic their answers are or what they're basing it on other than hope and pride in their country. but every single person says yeah, we will be back. as soon as this war is over. most of them, at least half or more add we will win.
3:59 am
in other words ukraine will win the war and we will go back. that's their expectation. now that said, we have talked to some families who are preparing for the worse to the extent that they can. they are bringing as much with them as they can. the ones that have family members or friends in a country like poland are obviously in a better position than those that don't. for ukrainian nationals at least we have seen europe, poland like we are stepping up and a lot of volunteers in places like this offering to take people in to their homes. we so that a lot as well. >> as farcical as this sounds the foreign minister of russia said they had to go into ukraine because of the natzification of that country and their nazi leader. does anyone believe this stuff on coming out does anybody believe this propaganda. no, nobody from ukraine is talking that way. these people are just -- they are trying to get through the day on a day-to-day basis. they are not even speaking too much strategically for lack of a
4:00 am
better term about the war and what's going on. they are talking about their families, their husbands and their fathers. i mean, that's what comes up. if you speak right now to one of these women who came in and one of the children yesterday, the mom gave us permission to speak to her teenage son. they are okay when you start talking to them. when they get emotional is when they start to talk about the people they left behind. my dad didn't come with me. my husband. then you see the emotion. that's what they are thinking about. not talk about what's going on in the ground in detail. >> brian: doesn't make any sense. con nell check n again with you. >> ainsley: hard though believe your belongings school and friends but to leave a loved one behind, unimaginable. >> brian: second hour of "fox & friends" starts now. must missile sparking a massive

4:02 am
entire villages in the latest attack. >> a russian missile slamming into oil depot north of kyiv overnight. sparking a massive fire. there it is. the violence escalating as russia and ukraine are preparing for a second round of peace talks today. >> pete: russian warships taking aim at their next target the city of odesa after kremlin forces take control of the first major ukrainian city. ukrainian president zelenskyy vowing to rebuild after the war. jonathan hunt joins us live from lviv with the latest. jonathan? >> pete, ainsley, brian, good afternoon from lviv, ukraine on this 8th day of russia's war against the ukrainian people and the ukrainian government. those russian forces are pressing what they consider their advantage around many cities, take a look at this map which shows you more and more ukrainian territory turning red
4:03 am
as russia moves forward. in the east, in the north or along the border with belarus and in the south in particular we are seeing intense activity. russian forces taking control of their first ukrainian city. that city in the middle of the southern border there. you see it kherson. the mayor of kherson confirming russian forces do have control saying that he has asked those russian force information a meeting at city hall not to shoot civilians and to give the people of kherson time to get, as he put it, bodies off of the street. we also hear that russian forces are moving via the black sea towards the critical port of odesa. that is a 300-mile straight shoot north then to kyiv. and it would appear that the russian aim here is to create this land bridge across the south and then press forward to kyiv, encircle it from the
4:04 am
south. they already have that huge column of troops to the north of kyiv. president zelenskyy in the meantime says that all the russians want to do is completely destroy his country. listen here. >> they have orders to erase our history, our country, and all of us. >> in the meantime the humanitarian crisis worsens the united nations high commission for refugees now confirming as you saw with connell mcshane a few moments ago that more than 1 million people have left ukraine for the relative safety of poland, romania, moldova and other countries seeking refuge wherever they can. getting out however they can. by foot, in cars, on buses, cramming on to trains. just desperate to seek safety. brian, ainsley, pete?
4:05 am
>> brian: jonathan, a couple things going on right now, i mean, is there a sense that the ukrainians are being resupplied with food and weapons? we hear about these pledges and i don't want to know the details but is there a sense that things are still flowing because i know in kyiv they blew up a bridge, which i can understand it, but the negative side is it's hard getting stuff in. >> yeah. now, the obvious way to get material in, be that humanitarian supplies in the way of food and fuel, or be it military supplies, is via the west, obviously. across the border with poland is the easiest route and this is a route that we took as we came in, for instance, brian, with the amount of weaponry being offered, by european nations from the u.s. too is significant. you are absolutely right, the supply chain is the critical factor here. yes, to be perfectly honest,
4:06 am
brian, we don't know how that military supply chain is going. but i can tell you this on the humanitarian side. there is a constant flow of vehicles coming in from the border with poland, i have not been there but i presume that it is a similar story with the border with romania. a lot of people, a lot of organizations trying to get splice to people who are increasingly desperate. now, the other point is, brian, you can get them here as far as lviv going much further east is very difficult and obviously getting any supplies into the capital kyiv becoming more and more difficult by the hour. not never mind by the day, brian. >> ainsley: jonathan over the last few days we have been showing large tanks and trucks 40-mile stretch. now i'm hearing it's 15 miles. north of kyiv on the border. reports this morning that it remains stalled. it's not moving right now. what's the latest there? >> that large convoy miles long
4:07 am
is indeed north of kyiv. we talked about it being stalled. the u.s. intelligence has talked about it stalled. but, again, the truth is hard to get at here, ainsley. and while clearly there have been some logistical supply issues, some morale issues, perhaps, among the russian troops in that convoy at the same time it is very difficult to second guess to what the generals have in mind here. and there is, of course, still the possibility that they simply have decided to sit there they obviously feel safe from ukrainian air power. that convoy has not been struck, perhaps they are just waiting, perhaps they are waiting for more russian troops to approach from other sides of kyiv from the east and as i mentioned from the south and then they will make their move. perhaps the intention is to lay siege to kyiv and make
4:08 am
conditions inside there increasingly intolerable for the people and, of course, the ukrainian military who remain there fighting as best they can, ainsley. >> pete: jonathan huntington on the ground. we appreciate it. >> ainsley: thanks, jonathan, stay safe. >> brian: keep asking for air cover set up a no-fly zone. imagine if they can get air force. remember those pledged by neighboring country think that fell apart. f-15s and 16s moth balled. other have fighter jets. put them in poland ukrainian pilots show up and fly out that would change things and give them air cover a shot. >> pete: the russian military still don't have complete superiority over the skies. whether it's stinger missiles that circle the air. >> brian: couldn't you bomb that convoy right now? >> pete: absolutely.
4:09 am
i thought about that before if that was a u.s. will military it that convoy would have been gone. right there in open april air on satellite images very little they can do about it. >> ainsley: you feeleek. we can't really do much about it other than sanctions, right? if we get involved and nato gets involved and we start a world war iii. is there anything we can do? can you put planes in poland or surrounding countries have those pilots come into those countries? can you do that. >> brian: the deal fell apart. >> pete: to include weapons that equalize to level the playing field. look at afghanistan, the right type of weapons in the hands of the little guy can take out tanks, can take out helicopters, can take out transport planes that is what germany finally. the ability to get the supply lines in exception through the
4:10 am
air is becoming more and more limited. >> ainsley: could be happening behind the scenes. they don't want putin. >> pete: publicly announced they are going to do it. the next step is actually doing it and how quickly can they do it? i will say this. there are some americans in the mix as well. we had a former member of the 101st airborne actually my outfit, his name is paul. intentionally not using his last name. served in iraq and there in ukraine fighting alongside ukrainian forces. take a listen to. this it's my moral obligation here in ukraine these are some of the best people in the world. as good as any of our friends and allies in america. i love this country. and whether this invasion started i considered it my obligation to stand up and defend these people. their country is having the first generation that's grown up in independent and free ukraine and they want nothing more than to keep that freedom that they so long wanted for hundreds of years. it's their 1776. this is their fight of their
4:11 am
generation. and they are not going to let this moment pass without fighting to the end. please, these people are fighting the best they can but they need everything they can from our commander-in-chief and our people to take the decisiveness to the arsenal of democracy or the decisiveness of the cuban missile crisis. this is another epic time in history that america needs to show military leadership and courage and stand with our european allies and brothers. >> pete: amazing individual standing up. this remains a david vs. goliath scenario, guys. brian, ainsley feel free to chime in as we go the to maps. you mentioned the nature of the geography surrounding ukraine. some have used the analogy of a boa constrictor. vladimir putin using military advantage to move on all sides. we knew he would come here we knew he would come into the donbas. crimea come from the south. belarus wild card and all in
4:12 am
state of vladimir putin. the outnumbered ukrainian military is at the beginning of this conflict 60% of the ukrainian military was on the donbas border. 60% of what the ukrainians have. so if we know that vladimir putin's main effort is kyiv and encirclement and siege of kyiv to try to topple the government, the ukrainians still have to fight on all of these fronts in addition to that. because the biggest fear here, ainsley and you pointed it out is if the russians are able to punch through here and head north. >> or they're able to punch through here to the capital or even as you have seen right here punch in this direction, pretty soon you are cutting off. which is what they want to do. they want to cut portions of ukrainian army off from their ability to reinforce kyiv or elsewhere. when you are surrounded you have very little options, resupply becomes nearly impossible. especially if the russians coal the skies. >> ainsley: that 60% still over to the east. >> pete: i have heard 50% now. obviously they're making changes
4:13 am
in realtime trying to reinforce the capital where they see the main siege happening. you can't remove all that combat power. vladimir putin says thank you very much for these so-called independent republics and moves from the east. warfare is about use of limited resource was based on what's changing on the ground. and this has becomes a we have noted the main effort in the north. this is where the convoy exists the 40-mile convoy that has been bogged down and the control of airports is critical. there are two major airports around kyiv still controlled by the ukrainians. the smaller regional airport which has been taken and retaken multiple times is contested. but the siege of kyiv is actively on and the bombing continues. finally guys i will focus in on the south because we have talked so much about it what vladimir putin has effectively done and wants to do is create a land bridge here, and a land bridge to odesa, a warm water port, you know, it was called the pearl of the black sea is how the soviet union referred to it a very
4:14 am
valuable port in the black sea. if russians control this they cut ukraine off completely from the black sea. another place where they can receive weapon supply lines and then from there they would punch north toward kyiv. avians ains odesa is the biggest port city. third largest city. what about countries in nato are they not? they are using the black sea to invade other parts of ukraine. is there not anything we can do when they're uses the black sea to their advantage. >> pete: i know early there were reports that the tuckers may attempt to block off the black sea and those were quickly rescinded. >> brian: a couple of things. turkey came out and said we are considering it then they said we are going to honor this deal the doctrine that we had with ukraine in better times. cooperation of the black sea. the russians asked for permission to use it and then they get back to you rescinded their request. the question is we get up today and find out from lucas
4:15 am
tomlinson that they are sending ships down the black sea now to take odesa and it would happen as early as today would be divlear turkey is allowing and not allowing. they don't necessarily want confrontation with a country bought their defense missile system from want and they don't look at them as a nato member. dislodged turkey. >> pete: also become united states toe conflict. they are a nato member. have been for quite some time. >> brian: we seem to be more worried about that than russia. as the nato members we are worried about having contact with russia. they don't seem worried about having contact with us. >> pete: turkey has been deplus tis. they have been a so so member as of late. >> ainsley: last july vladimir putin released his manifesto saying he was going to do this. nato didn't do anything. the eu didn't do anything. biden didn't do anything. we knew about this. in advance, we allowed them invade slapped them with sanctions. >> pete: we have known about
4:16 am
this since 2008. since georgia since 2004. it was all a staging ground. >> brian: since october they have been yesterday to go. >> pete: we just didn't know where they would go. and the size and scope of this invasion it's not stopping. he may be bogged down around kyiv. he will continue. his forces are overwhelming in their capability. and if the world doesn't provide game changing opportunities ukrainians, it's only matter time. can you talk about morale and it's true. the morale of russia troops is nowhere what it is of ukraineens. that's an important factor. holding out with militia cons or bureaury. shifted from making alcohol to molotov cocktails. this is all out war for vladimir putin. options for ukrainians are limited. >> brian: id like to add this. speaking with senator lindsey graham he spoke to the british at the highest levels. they will be coming out as early as tomorrow when he joins us show with criminal charges. going to the hague with war time charges. not only against vladimir putin
4:17 am
but individual units that are doing things like this blowing up apartment building, killing civilians, they have video. they are putting together case study after case study doing the balkans. hope to get the administration on board today with war -- by going -- putting together a case against these individual units who have perpetrated war crimes and this thing is only seven or eight days old it matters. because there were people that faced charges after the balkans war. >> pete: what else matters is how china views our response and taiwan. it's bigger than just this region. our enemies will look at our ability to muster a collective defense and change their calculus. >> ainsley: they already saw what happened in afghanistan. and now they are watching what's happening in ukraine and our response to that. >> brian: good news is the world has responded 141 countries have responded. massive sanctions and china might be looking at this going is it worth it? that's my hope. especially we seal how it all
4:18 am
turns out. >> ainsley: you would think putin would fear that if his people turn against him. the people in russia going to the bank and trying to get their cash out, they can't. the atms are closed. and when they do get their money out, it's not worth what it used to be. >> brian: 17 minutes after the hour here is carley shimkus. >> carley: start here with a fox news alert. five people injured in a stabbing overnight in chicago. police say it happened after an argument at an apartment. so far no arrests have been made. this after a 12-year-old girl in chicago was shot in the head while celebrating her birth kay. police say the girl was in a car with her family when someone started firing shots down the street. the girl is now fighting for her life in the hospital as police search for the shooter. 41 children have been shot in chicago this year. 12 of them have been killed. san francisco mayor london breed withdrawing request to fund $8 million police overtime.

and closer to traumatic decision will we stay together or will my husband have to go back to ukraine and i will have to leave with my children to poland? >> ainsley: are some getting through? >> yes, fortunately what happened is that in this case they pray a lot and they were hopeful because he is the father of three children, young children that they will be able to go and they did but imagine standing in line for three days thinking if that's going to happen. what's going to happen to you? will would he be together or will we have to be separated and also imagine you know, twral a child 3 and a half years old six or eight hours. that would be a challenge. they had to be in a car for more than three days. imagine what kind of conditions they have to deal with. and these are the choices that they had to deal with these are the challenges that are not of
4:28 am
their choice. that's really what's happening on the ground. we also have the knights of columbus we have the tents by the border where we can welcome refugees, give them some warmth, some food. so that's what they are doing, yes. >> ainsley: you bring up a good point. i can't imagine leaving your community, your elderly parents, your house, all your belongings and then taking your 6, 7, 8-year-old child for three days in a car trying to get to the border for safety knowing that you might have to leave your husband behind and that child is not understanding and crying and hungry and all kinds of things. just the stress and sadness combined. thank you for what you are doing. if you want to donate at home if you are an american and can't go over there to help and you want to donate it's kofc knights of columbus.org. it's at the bottom of your screen. thank you so much for what you are doing. >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: you are doing god's work. pennsylvania congressman brian

4:42 am
what do they do? >> two advantages they have they have people willing to fight and die for zelenskyy. fighting urban environment which is very, very dangerous, we have been there. more than 360 degrees we are learning of the incompetence of the russians. they have been planning this hit for this mission for a long, long time and they basically broke down in a week. they are trying to recover. they have got soldier crying on the side of the street because they are home sick and tanks running out of gas. they will can't fight at night. i can't imagine not fighting at night. i mean, they are a clown show. and i think ukraine has got the advantage with the home turf? >> pete: dakota your take on that as well. you never want to under estimate your army but sometimes we make them out to be 8 feet tall. and in this case as you look at the russian military and some of their con scripts and their advance, what do you make of it? >> i mean, look, you are looking
4:43 am
at the 21st century david vs. goliath. right? i think this is going to come down to the sure will and believing in what they are fighting for. ukraine has that advantage. i mean, look, you can't estimate what russia does have is they have got the money and then they have also got the numbers. the numbers game, right? so it's just going to be how long is russia going to try this? the complexity of street fighting is something that can't ever be overlooked. i mean, we as america know that very well. and you know, what's the long-term plan here? i mean if putin thinks he is just going to take over ukraine, i don't think that's going to happen. i mean can he clear all the cities he wants. but he is going to have 20 years of insurgency. >> pete: we had that lesson and we will see what the memory is of russians vis-a-vis afghanistan and what happened to them there. rob and dakota, you guys have a new book out called "the way forward master life lasting battles and create a lasting legacy." you are two guys seen over the last 20 years some of america's toughest battles.
4:44 am
rob, if you would, what are people going to learn in the book. >> women of my favorite sayings in the book it's a large planet but it's a small world. can you get anywhere within, you know, a number of hours. i was in virginia beach before and then 16 hours later on indian ocean. we are all cut from the same cloth. you can pretty much do what you want in life and, you know, stop dwelling on the past. learn from it. you know, take some lessons and get over it and move forward. that's why it's called the way forward. >> pete: dakota, your sales pitch? >> yeah, so i mean, look, we wrote the book the way forward because the focusing on the way forward is literally the only way forward. right? where there is hope, there is a way forward. and i think, you know, we wanting to inspire people. remind people that they matter. remind people that there is more good in this world than there is bad. you know, i believe that the majority of people are good. you know, and that's kind of what the way forward is about. it's about keeping it simple.
4:45 am
it's about taking the same lessons that we have applied in all the battles that we have taken. and you know, how can, you know, the everyday person apply that as well. >> pete: i have got to imagine knowing you two there are a few stories in there that will pique folk's interest as well. trouble makers, patriots. rob o'neill and dakota meyer. no doubt about it the book is "the way forward" thank you for enlightening us on the way forward as well. thank you. >> thank you. >> pete: you got it toss it over to carley for headlines. >> carley: something tells me that book is going to do very well. get to headlines right now. a manhunt is underway are we checking in with janice dean, actually? >> pete: i think we are. they said go to janice. >> carley: can i do it? is that okay? >> pete: i think you should take it let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean she has got our fox weather forecast. >> janice: hi, good morning to you both. thank you so much. here in new york the sun is coming up. still chilly for the northern tier of the country. a couple of storm systems
4:46 am
watching in the west. >> let's get to it i will show you the maps. fox weather.com for the very latest. two disturbances. both of them are going to plow into the west, including southern california, bringing beneficial moisture, the rain and then the mountain snow could cause some travel problems, obviously. but this is a good news story because we are into a significant drought. there is the potential for several feet of snow in the mountains, and then this will spread into the plains over the next couple of days. so, good news are, bad news in terms of travel. but ultimately it is good news because they need the rain and the snow pack for southern california. there is your snow forecast over the next couple of days. all of this coming through sunday. so he w508 be tracking that ahead of the system, very warm temperatures. we're going to set some records across the southern plains in towards the southeast. look at that sunday. i mean, it feels like summertime for the southeast and parts of florida. so i'm sure they will enjoy it but with that comes the potential for severe storms, hail, damaging winds and tornadoes for saturday we think

4:54 am
why are you taking them on here? >> take russian aggression when i was 14 in 90's when they first invaded georgia after the collapse of the former soviet union. so i remember what they were doing in cities. how far they were raping women and killing children in the streets. so today we are seeing the same modern army 21st century. this is unacceptable for everybody. we are fighting russians for 8 years already. and we just got the full scale war. >> brian: what's their tactic. it looks like total annihilation. they don't care about civilian targets. you are in their second biggest city right now. what are the tactics that you can tell us about? >> their are targeting civilian. they are trying to kill women and their children. they are bombing apartments and just to clean up and then entering the city. so they are -- they are already
4:55 am
bombing the populated area. especially you know, to get rid of the population. i will send a picture that we have taken ourselves of what is happening inside here. >> brian: a bipartisan committee, u.s. senators are combining with the british to start putting together the case of war crimes against the russians and certain specific units, russian units. have you seen war crimes? >> i have seen war crimes everywhere. it is already a war crime. we are seeing a lot of -- unfortunately we have civilians armed forces of ukraine. >> brian: how long can you hold on? >> we will hold onto the end, of course. >> brian: the whole city is surrounded. they want to try to take it today. what your message to people watching on the outside?

5:02 am
go to that country. ukrainian president zelensky vowing to rebuild after their war. russian authorities staying silent on casualties that they've suffered. he did admit to 480 and thousands wounded. there's 5,000 wounded. actually 7,000 wounded -- excuse me, killed for this as we see teams of people waiting for essentials like prescription drugs. benjamin hall joins us live with the latest. benjamin, do you feel like you are in a city under siege? >> absolutely, brian. you can tell the whole country really is now bracing for the full farce of a russian invasion. we got this kyiv today and drove through the country for a couple of days to get here. the whole country is preparing for this. every town, every village has the tank traps set up. there's no one on the streets wherever you go. they come out only to buy food and a buy medicine. that's what they are waiting for. the russians to come in. the big news today that russia
5:03 am
has taken control of his first city. the city of kherson in the south. what we are seeing as how russia is going to use that as a model for how they might occupy other cities. it might get very clear that if you abide by the rules, if you followed a strict set of instructions, you will be fine. if you don't, they will raise the city to the ground, and you will pay a price. don't walk more than two people at a time. to stop when you were told to stop. do not of course approached russian troops unless called upon. that is a message not only to the citizens of kherson but to the citizens of this country. they are waiting for the full force of the invasion. russian troops are moving into the country from three sides, the north, the south going east through the controlled territory and all of three points. some people spoke of an initial setback. i was like a spirit there were logistical problems and supply problems. in the long run, it's not going
5:04 am
to make a difference. this scale means that they will continue to take land. one thing is certain. this is not going to be the quick victory that vladimir putin but it will be. it will be a war of attrition. we've seen him pick up attacks in the last couple of days on urban centers and residential areas. the death toll is rising quite quickly at the moment. nevertheless, president zelenskyy sounding defiant today. take a listen. >> we will rebuild every house, every street, every city. we say to russia, learn words of progression and contribution. you will pay back the full price for everything that you did to us want to our country, and to every ukrainian. >> as you said earlier, that a senior advisor to president zelenskyy's on his way to the second round of negotiations with the russians. there is a lot of hope at this level for the russians want to have more territory before they feel that they can negotiate. the ukrainians want to have held back the russians a little bit longer till they think they are
5:05 am
in a better negotiation position. right now, this country bracing for what comes next. >> i know they were russian air strikes hitting the main railway stations around 7:00 last night. the residents, that's where many of them are hiding where they are saying about a cut out the central heating for parts of the city. it is winter time but aren't you experiencing freezing temperatures? what else can you tell us? i also was learning that there were four explosions at 2:00 a.m. local time. >> the explosions, they come thick and fast. we have been here for a couple of hours and as soon as we go into the hotel you can hear the explosion the background. as for the train station, some people are saying that perhaps that wasn't a direct straight. that may have been air defense systems that shutdown of missile. it is still operating at the moment. it's freezing right now. electricity was to get cut off
5:06 am
if food supplies were to get caught off, this very quickly would become a humanitarian disaster. it's already humanitarian disaster. i have so far fled the country. that number could rise the 5 million a very quickly. it's probably not long until the russians got this city off. one entry point at this moment. at that point, there will be no way of bringing supplies and/or people getting out. >> you described with a bit. as you are traveling to get to kyiv, the fortifications, are these mostly well fortified, well supplied ukrainian troops? it is a combination of local citizen militias? just describe a bit of the status of the defenses. >> out of the countryside around the villages, it's largely militias. you can tell that quite clearly. that turns into the military. as you get to where the center city, that increases dramatically. you can see here in the center
5:07 am
of kyiv, people are preparing not only for the bombardment bout for a brutal urban warfare. the way the barriers are set up. they are not going to roll over despite the russians saying that if you lay down your weapons, we will treat you well, no one here is going to do that. they are prepared to fight and they are bracing to do just that. across the whole country, militias have pick up their weapons. these are people who are butchers, farmers, teachers, they have become soldiers. they will fight and hopefully they will have their weapons to do so. >> pete: the butcher training would help. blowing up a bridge as a dual effect. number one, it's kind of good. you can't get a tank into it may be the gully. the bad news is you can't get supplies in either. it's another major bridge that was blown up. i'm sure this was thought about tactically. do you sense as a command of control there? >> it's hard for me to say at this point. certainly there will be.
5:08 am
that will be a decision was taken right at the very end. you don't want to make a decision until you absolutely have to. u.s. intelligence is also helping them out. they are getting some advice and guidance from them. but, yes, bridges are falling right now. way to stop tanks eventually from coming in and as many chaplains as you be had. is this year's scale of the russian invasion, the hundreds of thousands of troops. if they want even if they keep going, they will eventually get through. the question also is whether or not the domestic issues and the sanctions at home. if ukrainians can hold out long enough to russia really offensive, feels a pinch, good people could rise up. >> ainsley: hopefully blowing up the bridge will stop the convoy that is just north of where you are in kyiv. >> brian: the daily reporting, they've intercepted radio communications with the russian
5:09 am
soldiers. some say where's my fuel, where's my food. others saying i'm not doing it. flat out defying orders that show cities to shell towns. i could have something to do with the 40-mile caravan that's about 15 miles away from the capital city. i think that is something that the story line to follow. you might speak to this better, pete. can you imagine a scenario and an ethic where you leave the bodies of the fallen on the theater. they are leaving dead bodies of soldiers on the theater. they have no interest in recovering him as if they have no families. in america and in the west, you actually sometimes give your life for the remains from the korean war, we are still exchanging with north korea. let alone an active firefight. >> i can't understand from our lands because of how sacred we treat every individual life. it shows i don't care.
5:10 am
>> pete: they don't. these soldiers are chess pieces in vladimir putin's game to be discarded when they are not useful. the more that he has to acknowledge casualties or dents, the fact that even has acknowledge them, he doesn't want to do that pretty doesn't want to report back to the public the reality of this war. that's all put your reporting, brian, as far as -- let's hope that becomes a critical mass. i think benjamin did a great job. you hope for the ukrainians, but you realize that sheer size and scope of the russian war waging, even if five or 10% were to surrender or defect, you still have a massive amount of weaponry. what we're seeing now is artillery being used against city centers. artillery can be accurate. this is not gps guided -- these are not gps guided munitions. these are landing in civilian areas on civilian -- they may have unintended military target. it may be simply terror against the populations there.
5:11 am
it's the slow-moving boa constrictor since that vladimir putin is going to take what he wants unless the ukrainians get more support. >> ainsley: can you put up the map really quickly? we were talking about the eastern part of ukraine. now look at it. they've already taken crimea. now they have the eastern part. now they have the northern part. they are trying to work their way into kyiv. it really does -- >> pete: in the northeast, there's even more red. >> ainsley: there's more red around the border state of russia. in the south, look at the black sea. we woke up this morning knowing that now they had taken kherson and they are moving into the biggest port city. when it comes to kherson, their bodies there that are unrecognizable for the mayor came out of city hall and they did with the troops and said, please can i do not kill civilians, and let us pick up the bodies. let us take on the bodies of the fallen individuals of the ukrainians that are here. some are moms, so my kids, some
5:12 am
are soldiers. but please, just out of respect for these families, let us take these bodies. when it comes to china, it looks like china supporting russia. we had heard that china had asked them, look, don't invade until after the olympics. now that e.u. is confirming that they did say that. the u.n. has passed a resolution condemning russia's invasion. in russia's actions. there are some countries that voted no. we will not condemn in one of them obviously is russia. also, there's north korea. there is syria, and there's been a ruse. all allies of russia. >> pete: some have abstained. the world is against that little guy in that shot. >> brian: john ratcliffe way down the ominous relationship between russia and china and where he could be going. >> if anyone was under any delusion that china and russia are working hand in glove against the united states come this episode regarding the fact that china shared our
5:13 am
intelligence with russia -- our intelligence about his invasion plans with putin underscores the point it shows that type approach that we are taking with what is our greatest national security threat. it is really inexplicable, and it does not portend well for the next three years. >> pete: no, it is not. it's hard to see american companies and other countries step up and try to isolate russia. if china were to move right now and all this uncertainty of taiwan, would our businesses and our ruling class do the same against china, or are we so entangled that we would be unable to do that? at the beginning of this, we were yelling about germany's dependence on russian oil and gas. it turns out we are dependent on russian oil and gas as well. joe biden and his administration seem right now unwilling to sanction that. there are more levers we can pull that do have consequences. >> brian: their greatest hope we have is about massive pressure on moscow.
