benjamin hall in kyiv with the latest on the attack at the nuclear power plant. benjamin. >> right, good morning. the real concern over this attack, as it is europe's largest nuclear station. yesterday they were fighting to control it. russian tanks moved in and shells were fired in the station took a direct hit. a fire broke out i couldn't be put up because of the fighting, firefighters couldn't get close to it. that fire is now out but come as you say, the russians control this nuclear power station. the fire has been extinguished, but it's concern is what might happen next, what they intend to do with that. there are reports that chechen fighters are layering that power station with mines. you heard president zelenskyy that if there is something that happened there there could be a disaster that dwarfs chernobyl. >> to all the people that know chernobyl, who know how much grief the explosion at the power

plant broad commit was a global could not. russia wants to repeated and is also already repeating it come about six times more. >> the head of the iaea a says no radioactive material has been released. but after nuclear put his forces on high alert it's no big stretch to think that he may use nuclear. he says he's fighting to -- >> the citizens of ukraine are intimidated. we are fighting with nazis. >> it is unconfirmed but it is confirmed that the nuclear station is in the hands of these chechen fighters. that is a bad sign. we don't know whether or not be at their team is trying to secure energy sources in this country. but the fact that they control it, the fact they can do anything with it, the fact there

are reports they have mind to add to, means it could potentially change the whole course of this conflict. back to you. >> do you know about this power plant? i know it's being reported that russians who are in control of it. i heard that ukrainians are still inside and 25% of the country realizing this power plant for their electricity. it's 18 degrees there in ukraine. >> yes, that's right. a quarter of all of the power comes from the plant. it's bitterly cold at the moment. people are already struggling with supplies of food, medicine, and the rest. if the power were to go out for huge parts of this country that would increase the humanitarian suffering here exponentially. we talk about the 1.1 million people who have already fled, that number would skyrocket. we also just don't know what putin is capable of holding this power station is one of the most worrying things we've seen over the course of the nine days of this war. but the fire has been

extinguished. the head of the iaea is helping to visit the country to try to negotiate some kind of agreement whereby it's in safe hands. at the moment it's unlikely anybody can get in around. >> amendment come as a door hunt tour at your belief that this is this is ineptness on the russian part? or just flat out evil to do this? >> it's a very good question. even if you did want to control the power station and take over at for the supply of key energy resources, you would make sure that shells are not firing back and forth. if they want to sabotage. the fact is that it's in their hands now. nobody knows what they might do. >> benjamin, we've seen intensified by environments of city centers, especially in the south. what's your sense? is it an intentional approach by vladimir putin did turn off the

lights and turn up the temperature on the civilian population to create a squeeze and populated areas? >> well without a doubt he is still up before in previous conflicts. look, that's exactly how he's taken over. in chechnya he did it brutally, he flattened the entire place. look, if you terrify the people, we are ground troops commended certainly a lot easier for them to take over. we have seen him up his attacks on urban centers. we've seen schools had head, we've seen the civilian death toll continued to rise. there's no doubt that he is aware of what is doing and the impact that it has. it is a tragedy right now, one that is getting worse. some people say he's suffered logistical problems initially, after that fail or slowed, this is when we start to see them take the gloves off and start bombarding. rockets, artillery, air strikes.

i will say here in kyiv the sirens went off but we didn't hear much at all. will wait to see if this is the calm before the storm. we just don't know. we don't know what putin's intentions are. we do know he wants to continue to take large parts of this country. the south, the east, and the north you could see the pincer movement coming in, moving ever closer to major cities. >> you know it's brilliant and you've been in so many war zones come up benjamin but is realizing that media is his ally. being able to tell a story and put a human face behind it, he makes these world leaders pay attention to him and the plight. he asks them thank you, but you're not doing enough. the pressure is coming from the people to help this guy out. i think the way he's working with the press, not using you but opening himself up to any questions, unlike our president, i think it's brilliant. >> it's remarkable.

he's galvanize public support here. i can't help but to think back to afghanistan and away at the first sign of the taliban coming in. that's the thing that started the exhibits. having a leader likes feast 15 get people behind him, that's what everybody's doing peter was remarkable to have that press conference yesterday. this is a man what a target on his back. we were told repeatedly that he is target number one. his family is target number two. he sent a message out to all the media inviting them to a conventional press conference at the presidential palace sitting there boldly. it's remarkable and i think you need a figurehead like that if we can hope galvanized public support. he's done exactly that. the people we speak to here are inspired. they want to carry on and fight against the russians in large part because a good leader leads from the front. >> is asking for fighters and they are coming to. >> have you heard any reports

that the other side is trying to do this to putin? he has one million-dollar bounty -- putin's had arrested him as war criminal. remember when putin said were invading because we want to be -- he says boudin is eliminated free election entities murdering his opponents. speak with the big question. it's one of the biggest questions, whether or not there were some people might turn against putin. whether the oligarchs might turn and rise against putin. if the death toll could tedious to rise. if the sacred. at home there is a chance people that start to rise up against be there to be see their money going less and less far. we don't know. for the moment the oligarchs are rolling around and if you are not sanctioned an oligarchic there, then you are under

suspicion. it's a strange thing, putin was paranoid. we keep saying it again and again. is nowhere near anyone. if you look at previous conflicts, he was always seen side by side with his defense ministers. there were pictures of him all the time. now he doesn't even, and who are close to them. he berates them in public. there is a sense that is out there on its own. he's fighting for his very survival. if this doesn't go well you better believe that there are people lining up to overthrow him. again, the sanctions, although they take a while to kick in, they will kick in. you have to hope that maybe someone would rise up against him. we talk about the media and how the media is being used over here. the question is whether or not ukraine another governments can use the media in russia to tell the people. were seeing them you say we

didn't know we were coming to fight civilians. those messages are trying to get pumped back into russia. people in russia and the early know it's going on. if all you're watching is vladimir putin thing were going to d nazification this country, then perhaps you would follow them. or perhaps you would believe he's doing the good. it is about the information. are you afraid of me? i'm not going to meet you for going to talk about this. but the question here him and benjamin hall got to it, is what is the calculus of vladimir putin. he wanted to be much quicker.

ryan, you have a great special on fox special on who is vladimir putin. each day it is a show called the battle for ukraine live at 6:00 hosted by douglas mary. he had a guest on last night, his name is bella brower. it's been a target of putin in the past. he is the number one enemy of vladimir putin. he talked about where he is right now, and what might be his next term. here's what he said. >> him afraid there's actually no way out. what i know my vladimir putin is that he doesn't have a reverse gear. when he goes into a conflict it always escalates and it just keeps on escalating and it never stops escalating. it escalates beyond your most terrifying scenario. you guys been humiliated in this first week of invasion. he hasn't done what he said he was gonna do. he was humiliated militarily and is humiliated by western governments who frozen all sorts of assets. he never expected and you want

to ask. he shut down passenger planes, he bows and people in england. no consequences. so he's been humiliated militarily and economically. and he doesn't do humiliation well. >> in case you don't know who phil browder is, he was a very successful multimillionaire in moscow. he started to expose the corruption with these oligarchs and vladimir putin to the point where they tried to freeze his money and take his money so we got out and ended up killing his lawyers. his name was her game against keith. crowder said and prevented from killing him and torturing him, because he happened to be representing bill crowder. the mcginn ski act will now sanction oligarchs and put as number one target vladimir putin. that also was donald trump eating about adoption. his answer to that is working to stop american adoptions. he's gonna be on with me saturday night at eight.

will click on the come he keeps going back and forth demanding answers and updates. what he said yesterday in this address come i don't think anyone is talking about. he said we would not take the entire country, but were going to capture dangerous nationals. so is he going to go grab zielinski and the glitch goes? is that his goal? to going to take it? what will we do then? speak of this guy is now a global figure. >> is being reported that ukraine killed a top russian general and zelenskyy has avoided three assassination attempts over the past week. as far as belarus is concerned there working with russia. they revoked their nonnuclear status which opens the door for russian nukes to be

new personal record, limu! ... >> back with a fox news alert. capturing the largest nuclear power plant. the incident they are kind and worst than chernobyl. >> to all people who know the word chernobyl, you know how much grief and victims the explosion of the power plant abroad. russia wants to repeat it and it's already repeating it, but six times more. >> as we bring in fox news

senior retired strategic analyst, four-star general jack keane. i did know they had six separate facilities there. five in the ukraine. i didn't know one had six reactors and was the biggest in europe. as this one right here. were you surprised that russia hit it? is your gut that they did it on purpose? >> well first of all that's 50 nuclear reactors a new grade at four different sites. this is the largest one given there are six reactors there. it certainly part of russia's plan to take control of the power that is in ukraine. they tried to take it off the grid using cyber and it hasn't worked and we don't know exactly why. because they displayed the capability to do it before. this is part of their plan. they want to shut the power down in the major cities. it's absolute insanity to get into a gunfight at a nuclear power facility that has six reactors. now we do know that the

ukrainian nuclear staff that normally works there is still working there. they are cooling down four of the six reactors and according to the normal safety procedure that they would be implemented. hopefully the i aea gets in there to also take a look at what is transpiring. it's reckless to get involved at a gunfight at a facility like this like this. >> i hear you. they got it just said i have nuclear weapons about six days ago, does he want to sam not afraid to take on a nuclear power plant that would actually poison all of europe and be worse than chernobyl? we bring you to the south where we see the red means the russians are having success. this is going to be a big day if they want to take out just so they can probably take it. >> yeah, this is a major success story for the russians. they are coming off ukraine from the sea all the way up there in the east at amera pola is surrounded commits a major city

in the coastline. but speed 18 all the way to the west, that's their next objective. they've taken kherson. though probably move some troops from kherson. i think given the problems they are having in the northern sector, at some point they may make a consideration to move some of these troops to assist in the north. there is no doubt the russians have enjoyed success in the south due to the proximity of where their forces have been, in crimea. also that those forces have been exercising together for years. they are coherent organization that is normally operating at a regimental level. they have experienced leaders up. and that's one of the reasons, if not the only reason, for the excess in the south. >> just to bring you back to the

map for a second. i understand this heavy fighting right here and i'm just wondering if the warships are out here in odesa commode you think the timing is that the russians are looking at the tribe take it? do you have any idea about the four -- oh make it a different color. the four strength of the ukrainians to protect odesa given that it is this major port city in a matter so much to this war? >> well they'll be able to take the city in my judgment. because of the forces involved in it. and there's certainly an over match. it will take a number of days i imagine fred to fall. i don't see anything this can the stop the russians from accomplishing what they want to cut ukraine off from the sea and also build a land bridge all the way to crimea. those objectives look like they will be achieved. >> really quick, general, just before we go.

belarus thinks they are going to get in and start helping out. i cannot believe that lukashenko would bring his country into this and ostracize himself from the rest of the world. i don't know if he has a choice, but is this the only place really that we can resupply ukraine now? poland? >> well we can go from other areas. we can also try to do it covertly. i mean we have the capability to lend that remote airfield at night they don't even have lights. we can airdrop things and use precision guided computers. we are very good at this. but that's a presidential decision to absorb that kind of risk. but i think the russians are likely at some point going to cut off the road that were using to get most of the supplies out of poland. by the way come up in the northern sector, that's a whole operation has been stalled. they've tried to encircle kyiv

from the west and east, can't do it. they brought down another axis out of belarus not failed. kharkiv is surrounded. the troops are outside of the city, they haven't come in. they're pounding the city. but the whole northern sector are installed so much so the russians are moving troops from the far east, as far as a way as. putting the matter railcars starting yesterday in the day before. it's come to take days for them to get here. it's an indication, brian come of how poor these things are going in the north. putin is called up limited reserves. her remains to be seen if he is going to call up more reserves or go to some mobilization, because they clearly are having huge problems in the northern sector. >> i just hope people are creative and the pentagon to offer the president options like you just said. i just hope because the ukrainians certainly deserve it.

general, thank you so much. speak with, great talking to you, brian. >> thank you. meanwhile still have the victim reality of the war in ukraine. more than a million people leave their home behind. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good.

say -- >> it's a nice of them. thank you so much. hearts across the world are breaking as we hear from ukrainians that are forced to leave their families behind. as more than 1 million people have evacuated ukraine just this past week alone my next guest escape to poland, taking her 4-year-old daughter leaving her husband behind to fight for ukraine. good morning. >> thanks for coming on for us. you had to say goodbye to your husband and ukraine aired i don't know how you did it. we want to hear how you traveled across the country, went into poland, and found a refugee camp. >> all right. well i will start from the beginning. we left straightaway on the 24th, when we heard the bombing, wage job to do car and left.

we made the best decision. we took only one car and it was the most correct thing to do. because we were driving for six days to get to the polish border. during the time we were living in the car and when we got to the fee if the people placed us in the home for one day to take a rest. but we were driving all the time nonstop. many people are going like the roads are closed. and jammed. we are just taking turns with my husband while we were driving. >> he was with you at the point. i wouldn't be able to get there myself gate it was really

difficult. six days nonstop we were not sleeping. we got to the border and then we had to say goodbye and he had to go back. >> what was that like for you? >> i was crying all the time while we were driving and begging him to do something, to cross the border and may be a bribe border officers but he was like no, i want to go back. he thinks he has to be there eddie asked if i tell mike fight for our country and for the whole western world. >> okay, wow. so what is happening now? you have your 4-year-old. i'm sure that was traveling. i have a 6-year-old and i can't imagine what it's like to travel that long with a 4-year-old in a car to calm her down. what's it like now? will they allow you to stay there and not shelter? >> not really. it's like volunteers.

they have paid for this hostel for us but then we have to think about what were going to do next. from what i know now like europe accepts refugees of different countries of europe accept refugees. we didn't claim refugee status yet because i was hoping to apply to an american embassy probably because i speak good english and i have been to the united states before and i have close friends there who can sponsor me, et cetera. but at the moment there is absolutely no legal procedure for ukrainian refugees. so it's nearly impossible. there is immigrant and nonand immigrant visas at the moment but they don't have any refugee flights. i was at the u.s. consulate yesterday, we spent six hours there standing out in the freezing cold, my daughter got a little sick, and i found out that -- like we have applied for a tourist visa.

mayra, thank you so much for being here. we heard a portion of what the mayor said at the conference. what is he saying to you as you are in full contact with him? >> first of all, it is incredibly emotional to be able to communicate with him. he is equivalent what i am in the united states, the president of ukrainian mayors so it was emotional to have 50 of the most common mayors in the country from all parties expressing solidarity with the mayor and honestly any underestimation's of putin was that this would unify the world and also unify the country, which as we know is bitterly divided politically. one is that we stop buying anything that has to do with russia. we continue to continue with economic pressure on russia. frankly he asked candidly for

open, there supply lines to open up. shut off and prevent the people in kyiv and far east to get these weapons, you will have to try at some point to close those supply lines. we will wait to see if you make that move, but at the moment the supply lines are open. and it appears they are getting in. and that is where they keep coming. >> pete: benjamin hall, thank you so much. >> i was struck when trey yingst said there are progressions of president zelenskyy yesterday. he was talking every question what his life means, his family means, what the point is and why he was here at the right time. he sounded like a guy that was exhausted and didn't sleep a lot but he was coherent. one of the things he asked, trey yingst, have you talked to the president biden and how is it going? he said, "well, president biden and i have good communication." the support came after russia

invaded ukraine. think about this. the president did a good job making a decision to be transparent about all of the operations and intelligence he was getting that they were really going to invade. why didn't you use that time to arm and get the ukrainians ready? no one told him to put american troops in, but nobody i know said don't -- how could he not get on deck to get stinger missiles for the next 20 years? and javelin missiles and everything but instead, the point of virtually shut off and a day from being done. that is inexcusable and shows one side doesn't know what the other is doing or worse yet, so timid and so when caring thinking the american people aren't going to care about ukraine. >> ainsley: are basically stating too little, too late, thanks but no thanks. he's been a friend now that i'm on the world stage. >> he needs him. sharing that information with an

observer on the outside who knows what will happen and tell the world about it but not doing anything about it. i think there is something fair to say there is a calculation and save the u.s. government that may be eroding at this point, especially a shooting war in europe is the more we escalate or involve nato or the more we justify vladimir putin's propaganda, his views he is at war with nato, nato surrounding him seeks destruction. if we share more intelligence and deliver more aerial weapon systems, troops involved that leads to escalation. the thing is is world war iii what we want to break out over ukraine and it is a viable option right now. >> brian: and urinalysis is western analysis but every time we show weakness or worried about what he thinks, the weakness, the reset button, poland, it will play into what he wants, no, weakness, vulnerability. i will take advantage of that. we are thinking like a western

civilized mind instead of a brutal guy who is not stupid but he is evil. >> ainsley: here is the president of ukraine. he is warning about the nuclear plant attack. it could cause catastrophic effect for all of europe. >> to all people who know the word chernobyl and note the grief the victims at the nuclear power plant brought it was a global catastrophe. russia wants to repeat this and is already repeating this but six times more. >> pete: take cut off the last part of the clip, which was the most important. six times more, europeans, please wake up. i think even more than the americans, yes, leader of the free world. this is for europe's wake up moment just like your of in afghanistan because we believed we were the one attacked. we can provide support but this is europe's moment to say that this is our continent and we

will do something about it and stand behind it. sometimes they are doing it. aren't you encouraged by what you are seeing? i'm encouraged but too little, very little too late. in vladimir putin's against the wall, he will excel late. look for this line of argument by the way as bombardments and city center, can, vladimir putin will frame this. zelinski has given weapons to civilians. tens of thousands of weapons to civilians. if you give weapons to civilians in the eyes of the russians that make civilian targets legitimate military targets. every vehicle could be a male. >> ainsley: not the children. >> pete: you know what vladimir putin will say you are using children as shields to guard your people in those buildings. it will be a battle of propaganda if he says, i'm in this for a total war. you've armed your civilian population therefore your population center and our eyes is a legitimate target peer that

is you see bombardment and to bypass peer they know they can't hold -- here is a photo video of russian soldier holding two grenades. he's walking through a crowd of ukrainians. because he realizes they all hate him. the only possibility he has of living is the threat of dropping a grenade and killing himself if they attack. they know they are not loved in these places here they are hoping to get to the capital. make it so difficult for zelenskyy. >> ainsley: onto front page of the new york press, horrific story, a father who is lying over the head of his son. his son as a teenager. he was wearing it -- if you look at some of the pictures, he was wearing a soccer uniform, brian. he and his friends outside my teenager attacked. the sun died, his legs were blown off and so was reported that his friends legs blown off too but the dad threw them in the back of a car. the sun comes out on a gurney at

the hospital. the dad is crouching over him crying because he's just lost his child. these are children that they are killing. this is a teenager. we saw a little 6-year-old killed. this is just terrific. all we can do is sit back and watch. that is what is so horrific. we can try to send an weapons but if we get involved, if i nato country gets involved, it is world war iii. >> pete: covert and creative. >> brian: you have to be creative and have an imagination. here is jack keane. >> this is part of their plan peer they want to shut the power down in the major cities. it is absolutely insanity to get into a gunfight at a nuclear power facility with six reactors. now, we do know that the ukraine nuclear step that normally works there is still working there. they are cooling down four of the six reactors with the normal safety procedure that they would be implementing.

hopefully the ae i.e. can also see what is transpiring. >> pete: the other big take away we can't miss this moment and it would be the same if and when taiwan is taken by the chinese. the coupling of independence on the russian economy, russian energy and same for the chinese, which would be a dangerous endeavor. we are more entangled and they know precisely that, which gives them leverage. that is something we should and ought to extract and bipartisan. >> ainsley: what about the white house anglo, we have got this and sending kamala harris. there are active discussions about her going to romania, poland to show solidarity. >> pete: is that an intention to inspire? >> ainsley: a supporter and no plans for a president to go there. >> brian: she can answer the question i've been to europe. she's been there a couple of times but meanwhile the other stories, many ukrainian people under a deadly attack from russia or seeking safety anywhere they can hear the wind

saying 1 million refugees, ukraine and 3 million more may follow suit. more continues to escalate. >> ainsley: fox news business where tens of thousands of ukrainians or seeking refuge. >> i heard you guys speaking to benjamin hall from kyiv for a few minutes ago. he was making the point about how challenging destabilizing this refugee crisis could be for all of europe. we see it on this end, think about 1 million people leaving the country in one week. if you look around the train station not far from the border, you see how credited is. some people are waiting to actually get back into ukraine. but the reason we know the numbers are going to grow exponentially from here, when people get off of the train for this one woman come of the western part of ukraine in and around lviv where relatively safe so far, that area is getting really, really crowded h people that eventually could en. take a listen. >> very crowded in railway

stations. everyday, many trains are coming from kyiv and kharkiv and it's super crowded there. people are just back on trains. and the outcome a lot of people came to leave. >> on this side of it, you see the people lined up outside district train station. we were speaking to some of them just a few minutes ago. these people are headed back to ukraine. as we have been reporting throughout the week, many are eager to personally get involved in the fight here and there are rejoining family members or someone woman we spoke to a few minutes ago who works in housekeeping on a cruise ship. as soon as the ship came to port she resigned and made it to this train station because her husband and son are still back in ukraine and she's hoping to rejoin them sometime later today. guys, back to you in new york. >> pete: think is much appreciated. so many people going to poland.

that is the easiest, but it is still tough. 60 minutes after they our. >> ainsley: let's handed over to carly. >> good morning to you all we babe began with fox news alert, in chicago at the police say one officer is waiting in line at a food stand while the other waited in the squad card. the suspect was paying for food when a gun fell out of his pocket. he opened fire braising one officer in the head. he also opened fire on the officer in the squad car hitting him in the leg. both officers are expected to be okay. an undercover officer who was -- who saw what happened was able to trace the suspect down and arrest him. three children are hospitalized after being shot outside of a library in memphis. the police at the shooting started because of a fight at a nearby middle school. one of the three is in critical condition. the police believe the victims and suspected gunman knew each other. no arrest has been made. florida lawmakers voting to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of

russia but the russian spring so to speak where people rise up and take him down. if he continues to be their leader, then he will make complicit war crimes. you're a good people and will never have a future. you will be isolated from the world and leave abject poverty. i'm hoping someone in russia will understand he is destroying russia and you need to take this guy out back any means possible. >> essentially, it is killed caesar but the russian investor reggie marks and antonio said this, i find that the american politicians to be unacceptable. it is impossible to believe the senator of a country to promote moral values from all mankind can afford to call for terrorism as a way to achieve washington's goals of the international arena. we demand an explanation of strong condemnation of the criminal statements of the american appear that american

being you. your response? >> minister and best are you are supporting a war criminal in putin. your country is engaged in war crime in front of the entire world. you are bombing innocent civilians fusing and munitions. you have a record, your country does of dropping barrel bombs in syria. you destroyed massive war crimes and committing war crimes in the ukraine. you need to apologize to the world for how to be has stolen your country blind, how they are dismembering and enabling what is called ukraine. how they are killing innocent men, women and children, indiscriminate use of force in violation of the geneva convention. you, my friend, are the one that needs to apologize when it comes to putin. he needs to go to jail. >> pete: that brings us to something else you are working on. you are about to introduce

international war crimes by russia. but this is lindsey graham's own idea, senator you have momentum behind this. >> i have 39 countries that come out and support what i'm trying to do. a complaint has been filed for the international criminal court on behalf of the ukraine. alleging that putin is committing war crimes against the ukrainian people. what i want to do was expand that complaint. one come i want to get congress on record saying we agree. i want to start an investigation. i'm working with the brits. what we are talking about doing is creating intelligence able to collect information regarding russian units committing war crimes and name names come up with the pictures out the commanders involved in these war crimes, the missions and let the world know who the war criminals are and not just v-8 himself. maybe that may change a calculus because if you follow putin's orders with war crimes against people, you do so at your own

peril. so we need multiple crimes. we need to stop buying russian oil and gas and produce more at home. if we have a vote on that concept, it would be 75 votes. we need to go all in with the idea that putin is a war criminal. those carrying out this plan are war criminals and bring them to justice. >> pete: so you have to put this forward with so many democrats involved. you have the u.k. reaching out to you. you are missing the white house. has the white house said no to you or nothing? >> they said no to the idea of stop buying russian oil and gas, which is about 8%, 10% of what we use. imagine bill said stop buying russian oil and gas, which is doing a lot of damage to the russian war machine and produce more here so we come back table and actually help our allies. the problems with the biden administration as to the left of nancy pelosi. she agrees to stop buying russian oil and gas. it is to the left of the green party in germany who is allowing

gas to be open to peer this coming from the white house, by energy, needs to stop here they are not pursuing green energy, brian, they are pursuing red energy, red policy soaked in the blood. you can hurt his war machine if you went after his oil and gas sector. to my dying day i will pursue war crimes charges against him and all those carrying out these atrocities to a legal process and the way to end this war is for the russian people to stand up and bring him down. i hope and pray they can and will. >> brian: senator, the white house, hopefully they will snap out of it real quick. center tom cotton just wrote i believe negotiations are going on right now in vienna with the russian delegation there appear they are not supposed to be traveling, right? we are sitting shoulder to shoulder to cut zelenskyy deal to put zelenskyy wheel back on

the market and more? >> toe makes a good point. this insanity will continue. we are not only not going to sanction oil and gas sector of putin before he gets all the money to fund the war, but the administration will open a new front with iran the largest date sponsored terrorism. give them sanctions relief to produce more oil and say, this is good for america. it is not good for america to give ayatollah religious not seen more money to murder people in the east and build a bomb. the one thing i want to do, if you indict these people as war criminals, they can't travel. so if you are russian general carrying out this plan, you leave russia at that they may be north korea and you can actually be brought before the hague. let's make it real for those carrying out this war plan that your days are numbered and that a war criminal that we will pursue all over the globe. be three to stop that deal before it is out. that could happen any day. senator lindsey graham,

nodding along, stacey abrams nonsense. you know, it is interesting and i guess the best way to characterize is on the left with the democratic party developing verbal tics that they repeat at nausea him. hey, it is very effective, simplicity and repetition works in the human brain. but everything is a fight for democracy to the point where we reach absurdity where she cast herself in the role of heroic defender of democracy. of course, they cast themselves in that role for quite some time, brian, to the point can i respond and say this? these people say democracy is under attack almost never confront someone who asked how pure it so let invite stacey abrams to "fox & friends" on the weekend. i will do my best to block out more than a three minute segment. i will do my best to convince the producers, this is worthy of

a ten minute debate. and i and pete and rachel will talk to stacey abrams about how exactly democracy is under attack. and i think that conversation would be instructive for america. if morally sound, she will absolutely walk all over the three of us. the three do you think i would welcome that as well? i second that motion. do you think she does believe internally that her fight to, you know, prevent voter i.d. in georgia is the link in kyiv? >> does she honestly believe the words that are coming out of her mouth? you know, i think the truth becomes -- i think truth becomes at some point -- you know, we have talked about this on the weekend. we talk about it off-camera. i think many who are in her position believe a moral truth appear that moral truths exceeds of higher importance than the

actual truth. she believes she is defending something that is not so, by the way. democracy is not under attack. she couldn't survive that conversation with the three of us. it was being sarcastic. voter i.d. is not an attack on democracy. >> is punching and cleansing voter rolls is something we should be doing because people die and people move. >> how about this, brian, the truth is like any other truth, projection because the same people defending democracies are the ones that pack the supreme court. where want to add states to the union want to -- i saw a clip on msnbc, let's just -- at least he was honest about it -- let's do away with the constitution, seriously. let's start from scratch. so i would like -- projection here. at least wanting to do away with a constitutional republic if not democracy. mph, not to dodge her question i believe she believes in moral

general. >> the killing with high-ranking russian will be a bitter blow for vladimir putin. >> a dramatic show of defiance and members of the country's parliament met in secret and saying the national anthem. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> pete: we begin the second hour with fox news alert. three ukrainian soldiers killed and two wounded with attack on europe's nuclear power plant. that facility in the hands of russian forces. >> the u.s. embassy in kyiv calling the russian assault a war crime peer the ukrainian president zelenskyy begging president biden and the world to help to avoid a nuclear meltdown.

>> to all people who know the word chernobyl it was a global catastrophe but russia wants to repeat the things already reputed to. >> ainsley: we go live in kyiv with the latest on the attack of a power plant, what the latest? >> what is clear is it is a direct assault targeting the nuclear power plant. the russian forces wanted to take it over. and yesterday with tanks, schelling involved in one shell hit the city and one of the reactors. at the time of great concern black smoke could be seen all over the area and being extinguished. the -- no evidence of radioactive leaks. in russian forces controlled europe's largest nuclear facility. the reports that fighters allied with vladimir putin are laying mines in the facility.

president zelenskyy warned if something were to happen there this would be a disaster that could dwarf chernobyl. >> the russian military must be stopped immediately. shout out to the politicians, ukrainian 15 power units. if an explosion it would be the end of everything, and of europe. this is the evacuation of europe. only immediate action by you or could stop the troops. don't let them die from a disaster of a nuclear power plant. >> international rules for bed attacks on nuclear facilities. russia has signed up to have these but now that vladimir putin taken over not just for a nuclear power but he can control energy for the rest of ukraine to provide portable energy to the country. he now has the ability to weaponize that energy cutting off power to large parts of the country into many of the civilians here. he spoke yesterday.

and while he was doing this, he said to to nullify ukraine. >> ukraine are humiliated >> boris johnson prime minister called for u.n. security council meetings to discuss the spirit again this raises the level or might you vladimir putin is willing to go to an extreme. we have been hearing reports a school has been shelled together with the shelling of hospital civilians. and now vladimir putin has to shut off energy to many people in the dead of winter. it paints a picture of what might lay ahead. >> pete: it is not even a mystery. i did not know he initiated a call to emmanuel macron the president of france and e.u. and he basically said, use the word war.

in special operation going great. >> ainsley: >> he is not going to stop until the nationals ared and he also said he wants to make sure that ukraine has no basically military left. so that is where his mind-set is right now. >> yeah, he's telegraphed very clearly what he plans to do, not just in terms of military, his military plans, but the broader geopolitical and ideological plans. he made that clear. it is not amusing at all but interesting all along he said and telegraphed what he would do. and no one really thought that he would follow through with all of these incredible, vicious glands. and exactly what he said he would do. and this is going to get worse

>> pete: president zelenskyy of what a three assassination attempts. and i believe in california, now, he is saying i would give an officer or officers $1 million if they go and arrest vladimir putin as a war criminal. he said he's from russia. he has eliminated free election and elmer during his opponent. he says i see my moral duty to facilitate the denazification of russia. any word on any one who going after vladimir person who wants to arrest his people overthrowing that government? >> i mean, it is very difficult in russia to say a negative word against vladimir putin. you're right as a journalist something negative about him and you are killed. so, we certainly wouldn't know of any plots going on but many oligarchs losing billions of their own dollars and maybe this is not the correct way forward. whether or not one is able to stand up against him, we don't know if there is produced

amongst his midst that my overthrow him. you have to imagine the u.s. is trying to encourage that setting up sanctions. i would love to say in the late 90s, early 2,000, putin took his power from the oligarchs. and sort of side lined them and doesn't utilize them now but more on his military leaders. so the oligarchs don't have the power they used to over him. and lindsey graham coming out recently sagging vladimir putin should be killed. and that could be a way to end this. >> very few options on the table right now. >> pete: the indications that vladimir putin not stopping any time soon and willing to target civilian areas, benjamin hall thank you so much for that report. along those lines, targeting of civilian areas you can imagine he would rationalize that by saying civilians are picking up arms and therefore civilian targets will become military targets and women at children

are shields for legitimate military targets peer that is where both sides talk past each other but brian who interviewed lindsey graham and he's proposing new measures. >> brian: he said, why don't you just go take this guy out? with u.s. investor and russian investor to the united states come i cannot believe a lawmaker said that. to paraphrase, an explanation and an apology. here is what senator lindsey graham said. >> the best way for this to end is have a russia spring so to speak where people rise up and take him down because if he continues to be their leader, then he is going to make explicit war crimes. you are a good people. you will never ever have a future and you will be isolated from the world. you will live in abject poverty. so, i'm hoping somebody in russia understands he's destroying russia and you need to take this guy out back as any means possible.

>> pete: when i read to him with the russian investor said, he basically said this guy is killing women and children and poisons his enemies. he has caused a war that has displaced over 1 million. he does not regret anything. >> brian: i would say safe to say not close to apologizing. >> ainsley: benjamin said that putin is not relying on oligarchs but his military. ukraine is saying they killed a top russian general. they did that i believe yesterday. >> pete: the reports are may have been a sniper. different reports on that bubble left and well-known russian general was killed. not often the case and the kremlin acknowledge that which they certainly don't do with most of the troops. the interesting thing to watch here is a prominent u.s. senator calls for the assassination of another head of state that does -- and the question is how does vladimir putin induce

academies? with this being in my mind about being a european led efforts, the delicate balance is pushing the europeans along to do their part is some measure of american involvement. and now, russia, as a result you must defend ourselves and say crazy things like denazification which either believes or is using propaganda. that is for his own. >> ainsley: they were minding his own business. >> brian: he doesn't care about that kind of rhetoric. >> ainsley: they were minding their own business to grow in unicorn pink pajamas was getting ready for bed. and look at the front page of the post. this dad is hovered over his

teenage son wearing a soccer jersey. you can relate to that brian, he's playing a game of soccer and his legs were blown off and dived at the hospital. his dad's crying and hovering over him. that is a man, putin is responsible for that event the doctors and the little girl wearing pajamas. he looked in the camera and said "putin you did this and killed this young child." she married her 24-year-old fiance two months earlier just last week on the 24th because they decided they were going to get married, move up their wedding today, and the very next day they joined defense forces. she is at the base and her husband combat mission. she was unable to give us details for safety reasons but said maybe he will come back tomorrow. she is hoping he comes back tomorrow. here she was on "fox & friends" earlier. >> lee did not want to stay home, you know, my husband, and the russian world, so he didn't want to see it again.

i was born in kyiv. i have my job in kyiv. i have my property, my loved ones in kyiv. not just my land, but my city and i will protect it. >> ainsley: she had a hard time finding a priest. her mother called around because now they are not signing marriage certificates. she found a priest able to marry them so they could get married. they both lived at home. they both live with their parents but they want to be together and then go fight for war. >> pete: inspiring come indeed but you have that young couple up against the biggest war machine on the planet earth with the ability to inflict incredible amounts of damage. to that point, let's break down the maps what the russians have been doing. would not want to be a russian general attempting to brief vladimir putin about advances on the battlefield. and let me share an example of that. this is march 2nd 2 days ago in advance of the russian military. fast-forward to march 4th and not much changes. the explosions go back to

march 2, march 4th, as far as geographical ground by the russian military it is limited. we see serious sieges of city centers as they change the tactic. they don't want to walk into troops with highly populated areas. that is house to house, door to door fight. advantages overwhelming air with their artillery, rockets, or bombs. we see that happen right now in common cities, kharkiv second largest city is rounding and bombarded appear the same in mariupol the land bridge between crimea and donbas being bombarded appear to be so a large port city in a crimea taken over by the russians. again another indication of their approach, guys is that the ukrainian flags still flies over that town, the russian military has no desire to be permanent occupiers but instead, went to ukraine the ukrainian military read retreated, they retreated

to fortified this location and likely to follow because it would like to take odessa in the south. in doing so, great power because basis since 2014 in crimea and cut out as brian pointed out the black sea. so there is likely an approach from the sea and land as it pertains to odesa in the coming days. when we talk about the nuclear power plant, which is the one we are talking about right here in the southeast of the country. and i want to zoom in a little bit on that location. that is one of many. it is the largest on the country in europe. it is now controlled by the russians. we were told an errant missile that set a blaze, and the russians took over the location. the key to their approach across the city's is energy. if you can control one fourth of the country and turn off the lights, the power, the heat, the water, the electricity, the internet, the communications are

all now at the head of vladimir putin. we know the energy leverage across the country but now it pertains to nuclear power. i will move forward to the plant itself. i will note in the south, they've made advances and in the north stalled as we talked about this long convoy. they haven't made approaches but if they can come from the east, punched through the south both instruction and that way, they lay siege to kyiv with overwhelming firepower. and completely control the skies but certainly dominating. b3 pete well done, guarded. obviously the word is not stopping but raging. just talking about what we can do to stop it being we are not getting involved militarily if to stop russia's economy. if you want to stop outside of ukraine you have to stop with oil. there is a sentiment building bipartisan here they are looking to kick to the curb all of the barrels of russian oil. this is a groundswell of my would say. >> ainsley: after the president made a state of the

union address we need to buy american. let's buy american oil. why did you stop keystone? many environmentalists are getting involved and they don't want keystone but bipartisan for pure republicans saying we don't want oil from russia. listen. >> this is a time for america to stand tall. they depends on us, the world depends on the spirit energy has been weaponized and we have the ability to basically counter that weapon. we really do. >> there should not be a single, additional american dollar allowed to finance these atrocities. so the president has said that i will use every tool in the toolbox. mr. president, this is a tool. >> i think it should be all on the table including banning russian oil, not just here in the united states but among the whole nation. we can protect ourselves, we can keep our economy going. we have our own fossil fuels. >> i'm all for that, band it.

band the oil from russia. >> pete: wow, isn't that amazing? the same side of nancy pelosi without checking with joe biden. can we finish that up equation, band russian oil and exploit and use our own which is the next part of the sentence never finished why it is ultimately incomplete but we will take baby steps. >> ainsley: elizabeth warren said i don't want to buy russia from oil but she doesn't want to buy oil at all. she wants electric vehicles. they asked president biden in a cabinet meeting and he didn't answer the question. the press corps, you will need to leave get out, get out and he never answer the question. curious to find out if you will go on with bipartisan legislation to stop buying oil from russia. get this 670,000 barrels a day we buy from russia. with the keystone pipeline, that would have provided keystone pipeline alone 830,000 barrels a day. that is 160 more than what we buy from russia.

>> pete: wow and a whole lot of jobs. you know that correlation because you were out there. i was talking a guy who worked in a refinery and he was saying the biden administration all they have to do is signal that they will start allowing energy independence and the crisis will go down. but i think this is more than just democrats wanting no green -- only green energy but only the big democratic party. so follow the money. we are always about money. >> ainsley: i don't care if i paid $0.10 more a gallon, i will do that if it means no more oil to russia. >> i think a lot of americans feel that way as well. we have to turn to some headlines now. a major story the biden administration inching closer to reviving the 2016 iran nuclear deal after weeks of intense talks, senior diplomats say there are still a number of issues that can make the effort to fail. former senator joe lieberman said they should walk away from negotiations after the ukrainian innovation and fox news op ed he
