standing by live at the very latest. jonathan. >> good morning again. breaking news this morning, the empowering establishment of humanitarian corridor doors in the southern in and around the southern city of mariupol. that is in eastern ukraine and also in another city north of that. we first got word of them by a brush and state but they are asking -- citizens can take advantage of those so-called humanitarian corridor doors and we wait to see now how safe they are and how long they stay in a fact. obviously there are still many civilians trapped, which has been under such intense compartment the last ten days.

they desperately need and want to get out. whether they will trust the russians to respect those quarters that they have declare and not fire on them as they begin to move, but clearly it i an important development if there's any kind of a cease-fir in any part of ukraine. in the meantime the city of kyiv , the capital is still under intense pressure from russian forces and north and west of kyiv, certain towns there have been the scene of very strong fighting indeed as the russian forces appear to try to squeeze kyiv. we saw the convoy and it's been sitting north of the capital city, perhaps waiting to lunch but the russians would hope would be the final decisive set assault on the city of kyiv. in the meantime as we've been

talking about for several days, the humanitarian crisis continues. 1 million plus refugees have ru out of ukraine terrified of wha is unfolding in this country. that number is increasing exponentially. i would not be surprised to see that we hit the 2 million mark as we go into next week. when you look at the devastatio with so many ukrainian cities, this one in particular, it is n surprise that these people have no choice but to federally run for their lives. >> and the aid workers say this could be a humanitarian crisis they could never seen. president zelenskyy he's says h expects fighters to come to ukraine. luke thomas and spoke to some o them already on the ground. >> we are getting hit by every site but not all the soldiers a

the same time. this volunteer medic, one of several to fight the russians. when the invasion began, they came under attack. the ground starts to shake. you feel like an earthquake is going on. you can even feel sometimes think your body is rushing through. the georgian national legion ha been on the ground since 2014. it's lead leaders have been fighting the russians since 1993 . he was later freed during a prisoner swap. >> he also has a platoon of americans, some 30 and all. >> this is not the place for americans to be in ukraine righ now. >> the russian offensive by the

capital% -- the convoy leaving one soldier questioning vladimir putin's strategy. i'm surprised how fast they wan to throw their troops behind enemy lines to die. >> of all the things of russian of lost a lot more than 500 soldiers pretty said the russia leaders don't want the world to know the true number. lucas tomlinson, fox news. >> the european union wants you going to become a member state as soon as possible and ukraine president president has signed an application for ukraine present membership in that european union. zelenskyy is urging the eu to allow ukraine immediate entry into the union but it is not expected to be a quick process. with us now is the ukrainian parliament, alexey goncharenko. your thoughts on the breaking news from russian media at that

these were doors in the country are now open and can be use. what you know about that and what do you think of the news coming out of russia? >> it is not only for russia. it's the official announcement -- a city of half million people are suffering and suddenly i am very happy that people now can leave the city. they have time and they will have five hours today to leave the city. they can do up by buses, by municipal buses and also by private cars is that people can move their own cars to leave th city and i'm just very happy about this. thousands of them just suffering . just a bit of a don't have electricity, no connection,

mobile, nothing is there. 14-15 hours per day bombs. so that's very good news. this is a very uncommon situation. people will have the possibilit to leave and save their lives. >> what did you make of that european union commissioners sa he once you grade to become a member as soon as possible. >> that is absolutely right. it is just not good, the best option, that we don't have any other option. i think it is clear that you created is a european nation. we will be stronger. we will probably have the strongest army on the continent. you see how we are fighting the monster.

europe will be stronger with ukraine and ukraine will be stronger with europe. so that this fax volute made th right decision and we need to g this way. speaking about the corridor, what i want also say, to help u with airlifts. also maybe to help people get out of there. it is help for some entity in ukraine. >> i'm wondering if you feel th same way because the guardian wrote this in and quoting here, unless the eu makes his rages move, the message from western capitals to besiege europeans -- thank you for the weight break your home broke struggle is making a stronger europe but there is no place in a freak yo and this moment of. >> potential challenge, your ca

do better. do you think that they're capitalizing on your country's exceptional fight and that they should do more instead of just any denny back and applauding? >> we are not fighting only for us prefer the whole free world. if ukraine should fail there will be other european countrie and it is not going to stop. so that is important for the whole free world i think more t be done. the decision was made. now [indiscernible] sorry, it's nothing. that will not work. [indiscernible]

during the last day europe etha decreased the volume of gas fro russia. the stop the right way to go. we always appreciate you come on . thank you, sir. >> thank you so much for covering. >> and we are going back right now to the ukrainian journalist who has been showing us the damage in kyiv. is the former television journalists and a world-class athlete and runner and he was o its way to a turn that when the bombing started. do we have him? yes, we have him. let's go to him. sergiy, show us around. >> hello. this house was hit by a missile.

there was a 67-year-old man and he says that he -- it helped him to survive and somehow he stayed alive. right now i'm entering his house . it is dark because there is no light and all the windows are broken and glasses everywhere s they had to close the windows with simple stuff. you can see it is a real disaster here. there is glass all over the room . the roof is in very bad condition. and the whole remains of this house looks just like this. this room is a little lighter.

this is some glass just inside the wall. i don't know how this man survived this. he was inside his house when it blew up. this is terrible. >> this is terrible. said your back outside now. is this the same neighborhood w saw you win earlier? >> it's the same neighborhood. i will try to get to the school a little later at city center. this man needed to talk to somebody. he talked to me for about 40 minutes telling me about himsel and all his life and his family.

they've really been support and help.

the senate has a virtual meetin hours from now with ukrainian president zelenskyy. let's get to kevin corke in dc.

>> good morning. this is a very important moment. is obviously a very important moment as well for the presiden of ukraine. here is what is going to happen around 9:30 this morning. is going to be a virtual meetin between the president of ukrain and all 100 us senators. we've had that conversation and it is a number of different things. what might us senators say and do coming out up that virtual meeting with the president of ukraine to pressure president biden into doing more to help the people of that country. will president zelenskyy continue to urge us and its nat allies to enforce a no-fly zone once again? and well will the senate look a the multimillion dollar aid package.

this been a number of circumstances where they kicked around the event of giving ukraine more that of already has . how much are we talking about? take a look at november of 2021. $60 million in us security aide to the country and then in january just this year 200 million more. in february $350 million more. encompasses 2014 you look at those numbers, they are staggering. $3 billion by the us to take ukrainians in security aid. that number will obviously grow as the us another nato countrie continue to try to get armament and try to get other materials into the hands of the ukrainian so that they can defend themselves against this unwarranted an unprovoked attac by their neighbors in russia. what exactly will happen in the call. >> how might that change but th us posture already has been up to this boyd point is anyone's

gas. it will take place in a few hours in washington and we will have the latest. for now, back to you. >> we watching your show at the top the hour. thank you. and let's get back to our chief correspondent jonathan on. kevin makes a great point about the hold usaid coming in but every single guest we've had on from ukraine tonight says something about the no-fly zone. everybody is pushing the no-fly zone trying to move public opinion in the direction of ukraine. >> i think that was one of the fascinating things that the press conference yesterday with the nato secretary general. and he was very clear. nato was not getting involved i this. he set nato will defend and protect our allies, but by saying allies he means those wh are firmly within the nato

alliance. ukraine is not. that's one of the main reasons is for this war. ukraine put ever be allowed to join nato. in the meantime nato is that going to put in the no-fly zone. that us is that going to suppor a no-fly zone. both saying that they cannot do it because it would put nato it pilots in direct conflict with russian pilots and aircraft and that could lead to a much wider war. also are using russia of using cluster bombs. those kind of bombs explode midair and with these dozens of many munitions over a wide area. their use is widely banned. and air force veteran general, the c-17 commander and cofounde

of restored liberty. bring it in, general. it's great to have you here. that me first get your thoughts as somebody who is obviously obeyed the rules of war. we have always abide by them an you have in your time in the ai force. how do you feel when you hear about cluster bombs and the lik being used in the war zone? >> jonathan, it's great to be with you and trace tonight. i will tell you over 30 years, most of it in war and conflict, unfortunately. cluster bombs are off the list and against the geneva convention with respect to civilians for a very good reason . these are bombs that come out o a cassette and they spray acros a wide array and they're actually meant to harm and woun people and they are excruciatin punishment on civilian populations and we've seen it

play out here. is absolutely disgusting. it is moving to me that many around the world are calling fo putin to be tried with war crimes. >> do you believe that the worl will follow through on that, brigadier general? his war crimes seem to be comin greater and greater and he does not seem to care one iota what the rest of the world thanks. >> so he doesn't care. he is in a bunker. he is surrounded by maybe up to 15 loyalists and then there is his country. i don't mean ukraine. i mean, his country would brush up that is being yanked out of the world community after 33 years of trying to integrate into the global system. all of these rushing companies that are just being destroyed right now as a result the this war, which is not a war of russia versus the ukraine, it i

war of vladimir putin versus th ukraine, in which ukraine never provoked it. ukraine pregnant -- ukraine's acus in is [indiscernible] >> let me ask about this question of no-fly zones. as an air force veteran, do you agree with the us and nato decision not to get involved in enforcing no-fly zones? and if they ever were to change that, how difficult would it be against the russian air force? >> well, i believe that you never shirk from checking aggression where it exists. if people believe that vladimir putin's appetite stops and we all have to give up the nato partner that thought alongside us in afghanistan and we allow this country to invade territorial sovereign borders and subjugate and murder people

because we are witnessing with our western ballad use a genocide occurring right before us. so i certainly would support a well designed and well engineered no-fly zone that protects the ukrainian civilian and sends a strong message to russia that we have seen your horrors of war and we have seen your violations of internationa law. this is that simply about a nat membership card. what did we do and coasts of zero? what did we do in bosnia? we've had no-fly zones all over and they don't have to be nato. it can be a coalition of the willing. but if we don't stand here righ now, we will stand elsewhere because this won't stop. >> brigadier general, we thank you for your service and for your time this morning. obviously no-fly zone is a complicated issue.

ukrainian president, president zelenskyy says the world has an obligation to do everything it can and that was clear to make difference when it comes to it. >> it does have great risk but the general is right with what he said, there have been no-fly zones before and they did not lead to further force in those countries. you get the debate on both sides . back to that more in a moment. meza ukrainians passing over th borders and the need for shelte is tremendous. we will -- and a missionary about what he is doing to help right now.

it is now date 10 of russian war . one ukrainians see part of the trying to capture a second.

this also continued bombing of the nation's two largest cities kyiv and kharkiv. for life with an update in lviv with jonathan hunt. >> were getting more informatio on the so-called humanitarian quarter horse and the cease-fir that the russians have declared in the areas of mariupol and th city north of kharkiv team. that been getting hammered of the last couple of days, the scene of some of the most intense fighting up the last 48 hours from now we are being tol that the cemented. corridor has been put in place today plus something like 200,000 civilians were still stuck in mariupol to get out anyway that they can, whether that is by vehicles, if there's any of postal operable or on foot, but you think of it,

200,000 people trying to get ou of that city. how long is the core door in plays that will allow them to d that? where do they go to? does the corridor extend all th way to the polish border were s many people have flocked across? you're seeing some of those right now. this a lot of questions as to how these so-called you met a turn quarter horse will operate and how safe they will be for the civilians trying to get awa and how long they will be. intense fighting in many areas of mariupol. up around kyiv this been intens fighting north and west of the capital in several towns and villages. from what we have seen with the more recent pictures, depressio the russian approach seems to b simply to flatten at free singl town or village that they go through.

they are leaving very little behind. you have this incredible pictures with the ukrainians sergiy, you were interviewing i the last hour. there's really nothing left whe you see those pictures. it is extraordinary that they are simply laying waste everything in that may be the other side of these humanitaria quarter horse. they get everybody out of mariupol another cities and the they, the russians can declare anything left in their is a military target and they can shell it and knock it into it. >> and just to give you the time , this is coming off the wire that in the eastern town, the transport, the humanitarian work your will last for beloved: 00 moscow time and that will last for about five hours. the top official in mariupol mariupol said it will last unti 4:00 p.m. and the evacuation

would begin at 11:00 p.m. so -- 11:00 a.m. so 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. are talking about five hours for each of those cities. >> that's not lot if you've got to pick up all the belongings that you have left and start th truck out. also 10:00 a.m. moscow time was that -- was about an hour and a half ag so some of those people should already be on their way out so you've got five hours to run fo your life in these five hours. >> very fast. >> you do while the. people around the world are coming to the aid of ukrainians and joining us this guy barkley. he's a former marine and missionary with here is hope ministries. is on the ground helping those in need. last time we talked you you you had not yet used your medical skills of the former marine. has that changed at all?

>> i have to clarify first, there are no marine corpsman. i get my medical training afterwards. i have not changed here. i'm trying to coordinate medica supplies coming off the ground and another big need is people getting transported and getting out of these areas where the fighting is occurring and we ar doing all can to coordinate tha and then trying to go assist th more we can implement ourselves into the current existing medical structure in kyiv or elsewhere. >> tell me very quickly one of the medics called in the marines ? >> they are called corpsman. i was -- it all the back. >> copy that. you were saying that you were surprised because they literall militarized overnight. you been there for a while now. how do you think these people are faring. how are they holding up?

>> first of fall i'm impressed at their sense of patriotism an people are showing up everythin from military defense sources and others picking up a rifle and standing oppose. they are drawn together in a time of need. it seems like we haven't seen this type of thing since world war ii and they are standing between russia and the rest of europe right now, as far as i'm concerned. >> and how are you and yours teams, how are you getting safely from placed the place. >> first of all i think that safety is a relative term. we don't come here to be safe. we trust in god. we plan our rod as best we can. we negotiate checkpoints carefully and taking into consideration that people here are frightened. some of these guys have very little training and need to mak sure that your movement and the checkpoints are slow and that you're not going to freak them out because these guys are

worried about russian saboteurs. >> i can imagine. worker you getting the best information that can guide you from place to place? >> we are drying up from many different sources, everything from constantly ready beats and social media and some of our contacts who might be in kyiv are some of our contacts you might be in lviv and everywhere. >> you've been to iraq and syria . can you give us an idea of how this is different? clearly that topography is different but how does the figh of the ground differ from those places. >> this is conventional warfare. this is is not a slow and simmering insurgency. as formidable as isis was in 2016 and 2017 when i was fair, they are running car bombs with 2,000-pound explosives in them. this is a war with extremely

advanced weaponry pick you talking about the russians dropping missiles on a precise location. there are purports of these cluster bombs being dropped. on civilian parties. that is a humanitarian rights violation. what are we doing. why are we allowing this. people are having to pick up an fully and for the humanitarian quarters five hours to get that amount of people to pick up everything that they need to ge out. five hours isn't enough. >> and what happens those peopl caught the middle trying to get out. you give them five hours and have to stay in tell these quarter horse open up. are there plans in place to handle these people? >> that is my prayer because otherwise we are going to see the civilian body count just pile up. >> guy berkeley, best of luck t you. next time we talk i'm going to

have exactly what the terms are for your position. thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> got bless you, brother. >> has vladimir putin guarding -- going -- gone from targeting these two citizens. we weigh in on that next.

welcome back to our continuing coverage of the war on ukraine. that's get live to our chief correspondent jonathan hunt on the ground. we now have confirmed that two up the humana core doors happen open and that will last for fiv hours. as our other guests said, five hours is simply not enough time to get that amount of people that want to get out out of these various cities. >> we are now hearing directly from officials in and around mariupol that the cease-fire went into effect just coming up to two, got hours ago and the actual movement of civilians will begin in about 15 minutes and then we will go on for five hours. so a total of seven hours of

cease-fire. five hours up move been up civilians. one interesting point that i want make quickly is that we ar told the route has them ending in -- that is the site of that huge nuclear power plant now controlled by the russians. so it's a pretty extraordinary route to come out of this city, mariupol, which has been bombarded by the russians and w will take you safely to a nuclear power plant being guarded by the russians. anthony blinken downplaying the impact that sanctions would hav in russia. as the war rages on in ukraine, gas prices are spiking in the us . joining us now, a former state department official and foreign-policy adviser to the obama campaign. things for being with us. asked jen psaki at the white house. we are paid for russian oil, financing the board and that is a very straightforward a

reasonable question. are we financing the russian war ? >> well, about 8% of our oil comes from russia, so it's a pretty small percentage. as i understand it, russian oil already the price of russian oi is going down because nobody wants to buy russian oil. so there is over complaints wit sanctions. even the russian oil has not been sanctioned you by the us and by the u. buyers and sellers believe that maybe sanctions or they think that they worry that because of the of the sanctions on russian banks and russian entities, companies, that legal they coul buy it. therefore they are not buying it . that is one reason might actually people are not buying that much russian oil and russi is losing some of those revenue already. the reason why the us governmen

would not sanction russian yet is because they are also wary o the back that by sanctioning russian oil and taking it completely off the market, prices will go up. therefore russian you could get the same amount in revenue -- >> is it time for the american people, david, to say we will deal with whatever gas prices g to because we want to be on the side of right and stop this war. we don't have as -- we don't as a nation have to sa we will put up with it. >> we should be ready for that and i also believe that we should not be buying russian oi but i'm trying to explain key with the calculation is by the us government and the us government does need to be responsive to the american people and i think it is fair t say that the american people do not want oil prices to go up even hire. it's got up a lot of of the pas few months in any event. so that is the balance i think that the us government is

starting to find. >> great to have you. we are pressed for time. thank you very much for being here. and i just want to go back of those units in -- humanitarian quarters. in ten minutes time the people of mariupol will be allowed to start moving. they will have five hours to move along the humanitarian cor corridor. a terrifying and arduous task a everybody is about to undertake that. >> thank you. concerns are growing that vladimir putin's main target is not just cities anymore. maria, thank you so much for coming on. our secretary of state said the following. listen i will get your response. >> we say it is likely to get worse. unfortunately based on everything we know about

president putin's methods when it comes to subjugate another country to his will. >> putin will stop at nothing. well, we are already combating for eight years so it's not a secret that putin says somethin and changes his mind. [indiscernible] we are very happy -- [indiscernible] it's not the only city which suffers. i'm in the heart of the city which is in the east. it was the largest.

it is like one and never-ending day. so we are trying to reach out and we managed to do so to the international red cross who are present in ukraine. only the ukrainian division remains. they are working from geneva an elsewhere. i had myself direct contact wit the chairman and all other from parliament all over the world. i'm trying to issue because now people in the basement don't have electricity, hot water, gas . we are trying hard to restore all that because it is about safety. there was a comment about the power plant and i would like to

talk but an issue all the world today and tomorrow, not only ukrainians but everyone who supports us to come out in the streets whether it is small or big city. and we understand the position -- [indiscernible] this is not the point right now and the concern for ukraine. putin is as mad as he can be a now the targets are not only th centers, but also the nuclear power plants. >> we are out of time. best of luck to you.

thank you for coming on. >> thank you very much. >> continuing live coverage wit the war on ukraine. kevin corke will have all the latebreaking updates. remember the humanitarian corridors are now open for the next five hours. kevin will update you on that and the progress of russian troops. jonathan hunt in kyiv. thank you.

♪ ♪ >> todd: russian troops are advancing on multiple fronts in ukraine as fighting enters its tenth day. and launching 500 missiles since the beginning, vladimir putin underestimated the willingness of ukrainian citizens to fight back. however, the days of war continued to mount. the 1,000 civilians have died so far and they expect that
