>> is it too late? that is something we have to grapple out through the show as we look at new developments. retired u.s. mb bomb tech is here and fox contributor to look at the maps and give us more insight into what is happening.

beco all right, joey break the developments for us. >> and i think what we have seen on this first map, what you are seeing is this core door to lead to the west and polin is being shut down. you are starting to see this core door take place around key up. when at the things we heard last week they are establishing and choking it off from the outside. it looks a lot like this convoy and supposedly stagnated, waiting for the seventh earned troops. and if i were drawing battle plans, that make sense to me. speak with them next map takes us broader and speculations along those line troops from the south may make their way up to solidify that encirclement. they have been advanced as quickly in that direction. >> they are fighting hard. if you go to the next map real

quick, you can see where the troops are advancing and the black lines, the troops from crimea are coming up and we have landings in places. the black sea, and what we are seeing is these troops are getting more kinetic and i believe trying to choke off the troops to the east, but also bring troops up and to great this border is what it looks like and in this case, shall go left and right now right now evacuating people. this will cease fire with zaporizhzhia and for the next, i think three hours that we have left of the cease-fire, people are literally evacuating to the city for this nuclear plant is that we had about a day ago. how frightening this must be to the people who knows but all the way to odessa, essentially cuts off of the country, which is a

huge tactical advantage, and a lot of support in this area, they have pretty much already taken. so, i don't know if putin has a grandes prodigy and this is a part of it but you come in on kyiv real quick, and appear, will he come steadily make way down here or may be, thought he could take kyiv. and start to think, a sprint to the capital city that we saw. but ultimately whatever reason the amount of combat power in crimea has allowed them to advance and dominant so much more discriminant like mariupol and kharkiv, they have yet to do discriminant bombing and kyiv which leads me to believe must bring forces around it before they do that kind of bombardment. >> one thing you need to know, if you go in and topple everything, you give them a

reason to fight you forever. but if you go in and fight the government essentially and leave them they are culture, there is an opportunity to assimilate them under your control. i can't believe that putin, that is not a part of what he is doing. i think going after he have hard and fast but that didn't work. to coalesce around the idea of the country and making it a fight everywhere they go. i don't know if putin is ready for that but i don't know if the ukrainians have the ability to sustain that. in a insurgency work it is not easy to fight no matter how big the military is. >> pete: you are absolutely right the next phase before attempts to hold it. enhancing the vast majority of combat power, effectively committed and moving as slowly as they have become a kind of the kremlin. >> real quick before we are done, this is the nuclear side that became news over the last couple of days. like i said, zaporizhzhia, there

are six reactors there. the first reactor, the second and third shut down appropriately, and the sixth reactor in reserve low power mode. what does that mean? that means people are working this nuclear side, doing what they are supposed to do. most of what is sensitive is tons of concrete underground built to withstand airline crashing into them here the idea that just going to choose rocket and a nuclear is not feasible. but this is the largest nuclear power site in europe. and just control of the power is what is important. >> pete: just such a great point, one thing to add to that, joey, the one city kharkiv, taken so far by the russians, taking a similar approach may give us insight to how the russians are holding the city. they are not holding it but moving through it and allowing the ukrainians to administer it. the flag still flies and they

move onto the next target pier that has been a russian strategy. >> that is a strategy. if i am putin, that is what i would do. >> pete: joey, will you stick with us all morning? >> i have nowhere else to be. >> that is important with the nuclear reactor. a lot of concern, justifiable concern over the nuclear reactor for a couple of days, but important critical knowledge to know that is up, working in safe and as you pointed out last night the bombing at that nuclear reactor site was not on the reactors themselves. but a training facility just adjacent. >> no, we do news and you hear the words "rocket attack" and "nuclear attack" and you have news for hours. first reports are incomplete and administrative building that didn't affect the administration. >> can i ask a question?

as i see you and joe we look at all of these maps and i'm trying to figure out. i'm not a military person but is what putin trying to do is he actually trying to move to a city, right? is he trying to take land or just trying to break the ukrainian leadership to say, fine, we will remain neutral and then keep what he has? i mean, what is his end game? is it to occupy or just get the west and ukraine particular leadership to agree to be neutral and say we won't enter nato and we won't try to enter nato and have some sort of peace agreement? >> as usual 5-13 in the morning nus the most important questions. my sense is decapitation of the regime and a friendly regime on his boarded. whether that is wholesale of the country and he was wrong about

that, which means you shift to creating the circumstances for a political development that is advantageous to him. and doesn't need to stationing troops. it isn't what he believes to be a threat. at this point, it means zelenskyy would have to go. soone else would have to be installed that is more friendly to the kremlin. but i also think, this is a country that is elected its leaders. pretty unlikely to turn around and elect someone friendly to vladimir putin. and so far moving into areas that they would have to assume would be more likely to associate that some level historically with russia. the further you push in, especially into kyiv, territory. it is the million-dollar question, rachel and when we have to ask over and over, what are the feasible limits of vladimir putin?

we will keep our eye on that. you need to have an eye at 10,000 feet. you need to pay attention what's happening on the ground. it is odd, the footage on the ground somewhat surprising to me has not been slowing and a volume you would expect modern day but there are still images that we see in some of them are actually terrifying. this is sky news, british news agency, sky news group ambushed by russian shooters. in fact, two of the reporters took shots. now, we want to warn you this video is graphic. let's see what happen on the ground. >> the government has worn four days of russia who has infiltrated the country to bring terrorism. and attacking civilians and the times that they flee. they do exist as we found out. >> [bleep].

[screaming] >> stop, stop! >> they identified themselves. >> british journalists! journalists! >> it is a professional ambush. the bullets just don't miss. >> stop! stop! [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], stop! stop! >> i'm hit but escaped. the camera operator richie was taken to corounds to his body but still stuck. he runs for it. the five of us have made it out of the car down the embankment. we cannot believe we are alive.

>> wow >> pete: an amazing report. do we know exactly -- maybe we can get this and bring it next hours but exactly where is this occurring inside the country? and you see barriers there and how you speak about or define who is who is really important in this, obviously russia shooting and it looks terrible. but i always put myself on the other side of that having been in combat situations approached by civilian vehicles. that civilian vehicle could also contain, you know ukrainian troops in civilian clothes with weapons. so, you probably have a 19-year-old russian -- i mean, whatever it is come i don't know who is on the russian side shooting. again, they are occupying a country and already in the wrong bed at the same time, there is just so much ambiguity in situations like this and the lack of. who do we call?

there is nobody to call right now. >> no. >> these russians have decided you are a threat indiscriminate shooting at journalist. we don't know. >> rachel: the ukrainians were saying russians pretending to be ukrainians, be aware of that spirit and also russians worried other people, are they oppressed or civilians, as you said many armed, many of them by ukrainian government? so war is terrible. this is why the out to try to find some peace here. >> pete: thousands of ukrainians fling kyiv and a 40-mile convoy at the capital city. >> rachel: the next guest stranded in the country as a former tv journalist term professional trail runner who has been on the front lines since this invasion started. >> he joins us now from a town outside of kyiv. thank you very much for being here, sir, i mean the visual behind you is staggering and powerful in and of itself.

if you would come i share with your viewers what you are experiencing on the ground? >> hello, thank you for the invitation. right behind me is a school that was bombed by russian airplane just yesterday. you can see that the building is totally destroyed. books and papers everywhere and so the library, the kitchen, so fortunately, there was nobody in this building when they struck it. >> you said nobody was in the building but are you finding civilians are able to get out of the way of some of these, you know, tax? we heard earlier of the russians were allowing civilians to go to another area.

is that happening or is people in great danger right now, civilians? >> well, you know, i really don't know and a safe place. the russians always tell that they don't shoot the civilians and don't go to the provincial area but this is not true. here, almost every day we hear some monks. right now in this moment, there is alarms in the city. i don't think you can hear it, but actually it is right now. and nobody knows where the next missile will hit. we don't have active battles in chernobyl. but shooting from airplanes or

from the territory of belarus. but actually there is no laws, no guesses why and where russia comes from next. so i don't think it is really possible to run away from it. there is no place where you can feel safe. >> pete: what is life like there, serhii popov as a resident a small town of speed domain kyiv and no battles directly around your town right now. missile strikes, air strikes that are arriving in your town. so i know the civilians living in that city, what is lifelike and capable of continuing normalcy or bunkering down and expecting the worst to come? >> well, authorities come i

think were quite well because of the food, a place to enter and working quite good, but all the time, sirens, and all the time we have to hide from bombshells or in the basement and just wait to do something. there are a lot of volunteers from the ct and a lot of people to help, soldiers that want to help the army preparing some food and to help to build some certification. so from this point of view, everything is quite calm. so life is good. i'm sorry to interrupt you. you said something that piqued my curiosity. how do you continue to access the internet? is that your local provider that

you used before the war started or even long must, how is the internet being provided in your town? >> welcome at the moment, local providers. and for now, it works quite well. it is good. we have warnings that russians will try to cut the internet for ukrainian people. but for now, it is working and as long as it works, we should tell the world what is really going on here. >> pete: circum- if the russian army were to make advances where you are, what you said they are not there yet but the southern part of kyiv, what would you do as a member of the citizen, as a man there, what is your role? >> well, i am not a soldier, but

mobilization, and my turn will come and i may have to fight. >> pete: there you go. all right, serhii popov, thank you so much, god bless you. and thank you for joining us. thank you. >> rachel: thank you, serhii. that is incredible that the civilians are still there. i was reading an article of a woman who said, i can't leave because my grandparents are here and they can't leave. who will get them some food? who will take care of them? lots of reasons why civilians would stay behind. it is not always cut and dry but complicated. >> it is interesting that he said the internet services as we read a report the internet was out. >> pete: it depends what town. >> the elon musk service was the one providing internet. you are right, pete, i'm sure it is a town proposition but a go as we move forward to really to

continue to question and search for the truth for the american people as we share these details bit by bit. >> rachel: there is a lot of war and propaganda on both sides. it is our job here to try to clear through some of that. meanwhile, we have a guest here, president of the international paralympic committee denouncing russia's invasion of ukraine overnight during open ceremonies in beijing. >> the 21st century is a time for dialogue and diplomacy, not war and hate! the parliament government calls the authorities to come together and promote peace and understanding and inclusion. speed to several ukrainian athletes protesting as well but chinese broadcasters censor the antiwar speech and refused to translate it. here to discuss the message that was sent, heritage foundation

fellow dean chang. dane, welcome to the show. what do you make of all of this? how are the chinese with a sense of this speech, but what are they -- as they observe what happened to russia during this invasion, how are they absorbing this and deciding what they are going to do perhaps with taiwan? >> so what we see but the chinese as the russians go into ukraine is an interesting set of mixed messages. the public message that they are sending at the u.n. and elsewhere is, let's have discussions here at this is terrible, territorial integrity and sovereign matters. then they turn around and basically sign contracts with the russians for brain sales, for coal sales. so basically they are taking, they are trying to occupy both sides. they want to be able to say look, we are not enormously on russia side, but when it

matters, when it comes to money, when it comes to eventually sanctions, it is pretty clear that no one was really expecting beijing to enforce sanctions against russia. but the paralympics the same sort of thing. they are basically going to sensor and limit the message to the chinese population that the world is standing against russia while china is saddling up to russia. >> rachel: you know, i heard an interview with one of the paralympic athletes from belarus. she was visually impaired and won the gold medal in the last olympics. now, she is not allowed to compete and this one. she was very sad and said, listen, i have nothing to do with the politics. what do you make of that? is this the right way to punish russia with paralympics and not permitting these athletes to perform? >> well i'm a we have a problem here of how do you message the russians that their behavior is

terrible. >> rachel: right. >> rachel: at the same time, it is obviously unfortunate for the athletes. but i think it is important to recognize that there is a very broad international reaction to this russian aggression. china is actually sort of the exception to all of this. it is not at all clear that other athletes would have been even willing to compete. i believe there is a number of events, not the paralympics per se necessarily where athletes say i won't compete against russians, i won't compete against russians. at the end of the date they do reflect and represent a government that is engaging in the first european war of the 21st century where we are watching outright invasion, not just green men kind of thing but full-blown world war ii style invasion back on the european continent. >> rachel: you are right, the world is united in so many ways, economically especially against russia.

is china looking at this and saying, we better be very careful because so much of what they do, they have business interest as well. i know they are aligned with russia but is this causing them to pause especially with taiwan? >> i think one of the big lessons the chinese are willing to learn from all of this is the impact of the swift sanctions and international transaction. if it is effective, you should expect the chinese are absolutely going to try to create their own network to bypass economic and financial sanctions, even if it doesn't work but simply impacts the russians, the chinese are watching this eagerly to learn lessons at someone else's expense. and the russian success against ukraine will apply against taiwan. >> rachel: very interesting and huge implications for us as well, thank you so much.

>> thanks for having me. >> rachel: coming up two more russian commanders reportedly taken out by ukrainian forces in a major blow to the kremlin attack. and it requires navy captain to join us next on what we can expect to see when the cease-fire is over. a whole lot g with farmers. ♪we are farmers.bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum♪ ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪ ♪cold beer on a friday night♪ ♪a pair of jeans that fit just right♪ ♪and the radio up well i've seen the sunrise...♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's

commissioned an officer in the american armed forces and joins us now, captain, thank you very much for being here. you know, great to see you. as best as you can, you've got a couple of top russian generals that have been killed here and you've got a very large convoy seemingly bogged down and a lot of intense fighting across the country. what is your sense overall what the rational military looks like? >> it doesn't look very good. large and lethargic. and of course, all of us, it is typical all of us have seen hitler sitting in the bunker yelling at his generals saying, why are we losing the war? and they are all standing there to tell him know to not attack in the middle of winter. it is not a good idea. but they didn't realize that the guy has lost it and doesn't listen to anybody. he is a paranoid psychopath and they are afraid to face him, the true enemy so they go out in the

field and start taking commands themselves instead of from the headquarters. they are starting to do the job of a colonel or a major. and of course, the way that i know the soviet mentality, the generals yelling, screaming and everybody is running and it only takes a few seconds for a sniper to realize who is in charge and take them out. i also heard that one of the generals committed suicide. so that is not a good sign. that is not a good sign at all because it shows there is no command on the field. the mid grade level. that they are just standing by idling and waiting for orders that never come here are the orders that do come change in a few minutes. so they are lost. it is a poor discipline of soldiers. it is a poor organized military that is going in and true fashion thinking it will work out but things don't work out the way they do. and of course, the dictator is

going nuts, blaming everybody and willing to blow up the whole world in order to prove himself right. >> capped and that is a stark assessment of where we are today. a definitive, maybe that is the word i'm searching for it, a definitive of where we are today but are you confident that will play out in the coming days? it certainly appears the russia is a superior advantage around kyiv and ukraine. i don't have military expertise to say whether or not this has been a success or bogged down. but from your perspective, you have suggested they are bogged down and incompetent. will that play out the coming weeks as we watch the advancement? >> so far we see it. and again, it all depends on the commanders and they have different kind of -- it seems they are pushing forward in the north. of course they are bogged down because very good, and some

ancient like world war ii, korean war equipment. but by our standards, so come of course, they didn't expect resistance that they faced from the ukrainians. but of course, no matter how the fire power and the sure strength is not equivalent. the ukrainians, they need help, even though we are very proud of their fighting skills and very proud of the president who has taken the command and they expect probably the clown or whatever they told them to give up work he shows stamina, he shows quinones. they didn't expect that. i don't know how it will play out, but i know it will play out well because we are dealing with a psychopath lunatic firing at reactors and i know scientist say it is safe but sitting in a

tank firing, it is showing he is not well. or burning down cities with civilians. and may be our leadership doesn't want to get in world war iii, but i think it is my personal opinion we are in world war iii. it has started and if we don't start modern age hitler, he is not going to stop. we need to provide more weapons to ukrainians and we need to provide air cover and aircraft weapons. we need to do something about it instead of sitting back and watching it and saying yes, in spirit we are with you. and we condemn what putin is doing but we actually have to do. >> rachel: wow, thank you, thank you captain. >> thank you. >> rachel: he is calling for a no fly zone and i have no doubt when he describes putin as a madman or somebody that is unstable, perhaps that is true. it certainly looks like he is

definitely doing some evil things. i just wonder backing someone like that into a corner, someone who has weapons, escalating and calling for the no-fly zone, it makes me very nervous as an american mom. i just don't know. i just don't know if it is backing like someone in the corner is the right thing to do. but what will he do because he is a madman? >> pete: it is interesting how he described him. but incompetent but overwhelming capabilities today so it doesn't mean a foregone conclusion that the russians are bogged down forever. but very interesting insight. still head from inflation was already out of control before russian's invasion of ukraine. now actually it will only push consumer prices are higher brian brian burke next.

confusion or memory problems, muscle pain or weakness, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant or have had radiation to your chest area or a nervous system condition. it feels good to be here for them. living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda from merck. ask your doctor about keytruda. >> pete: as russia's war on ukraine, gas prices are searching nationwide and aaa warns you could see prices over $5 a gallon. but the white house says, "don't blame joe." to be very clear and i heard the president and his speech, the reason why we are seeing volatility in the global oil market and the reasons the price of gas is going up is not

because of steps the president has taken peer they are because president putin is you don't like invading ukraine. >> pete: here to wait and come up fox news contributor fox news contributor and kings college of manhattan executive vice president and associate of business and former neighbor of mine, all around good guy, brian brandenberg. this is all about work. it is what president biden is not doing right now. he uses to amp up supply in america and that could make a big difference and the price is pure just to be clear $3.40 a gallon at the end of january, $3.84 and if we go to $4 next week that is $600, $700 additional cost for an average family over the course of a year. you think about families and how slim of a march and they are on right now, $600, $700 that is how painful this could get. >> pete: the price has have gone up and now they are going up further, all of this has to do with the war when obviously -- >> there is a lot going on at

war but we can change the game with u.s. energy. the president refuses to do that. >> pete: talking about price is at home what about food? >> this is a real concern because russia and ukraine are big bread baskets a lot of grain, especially wheat. this is one you may not see prices go up right away but as the year goes on and hip at the gas prices first, then you start getting hit with the food prices, that supply contracts, that is a double whammy for families. if you think about a family but for kids it is gas and food and you know this could be in store for not just america but globally because these are big exporters. >> pete: we start with the basics and then move over to higher ticket items. >> again, this has been a problem all year with inflation but the interesting thing about the territory, ukraine, russia a lot of important metals for technology, semiconductors which are in everything. so again as the year goes on the car prices we wanted to see come down, they have been so

expensive's, they will not do that and phone prices. you have gas, food, technology. every part of your life where you are seeing prices go up already, they will keep going up. >> pete: does this add to the supply chain problem? >> it continues to add to the supply chain problem and all of these areas, by the way and affected by energy, oil, gas. every single thing you by services or goods are affected by that. it is a person pervasive problem that feeds into all of this. >> pete: how about tickets on airplanes? where does that land? >> if you want to move and get out and live life again and again you are talking about all the petroleum products that go with moving people, it is not just you and i getting around on business, it is cargo, freight so all the goods we want to move, can you think about holistic effect of all of this, to solve it you have to get energy under control. again just to be clear because

the white house wants to say this has all russia and ukraine, but they were things in our control. we can build pipelines. we can pump. it will not change right away, but you set the expectation for the world come america is to step up and take care of energy needs. that changes markets today. the president won't do this, elon musk tweet, even the electric car guy has got to pump oil. we don't have to hate it, by the way if you can promote peace and justice using resources responsibly, you don't have to hit that but love it. >> pete: we don't hat you, brian, we love you. >> you bet. >> pete: coming up a 40-mile long convoy tank remained stalled outside of ukraine's capital city. but the next guest says you should not underestimate russian troops. all sides this morning, some think they are failing and some say we are underestimating them. more insight on putin's playbook coming up.

installing a 40-mile caravan into kyiv but the next guest says do not underestimate russia. senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracy and infantrymen in the u.s. army, bill. great to talk to you this morning. there has been a sentiment and there has been a lot of conversation about russia's failures in the past ten days going into ukraine. is that your assessment? are we watching essentially incompetent putin and russia failing in ukraine? >> i disagree with that. i know that is the common narrative out there, however, look, and we say look at the maps. the maps don't lie. what you saw, the russian certainly had hoped that the government would collapse with the quick strike on kiya, but they were prepared and plan for a military invasion of ukraine. the attack from three directions on five different fronts. the capital is close to being

encircled right now in the south the black russian forces or the black sea or close to taking the entire region over and advancing northward. but if the russians can take kyiv and link up with forces from the south, they are going to come to my cut the country in half and that will be end game this type of operation doesn't happen in days or even weeks. keep in mind, the u.s. tried inn the second world war to take out saddam hussein. it didn't work. but the u.s. also had ground offensive plan as well. and it took three weeks in the u.s. forces to take baghdad. wife would we think it would take the russians to codays to take kyiv and take over the country? these assessments, there is a lot of wishing out there. people want the ukrainians to win and i want the ukrainians to win back and saying they are doing well when they are not is not helping the situation at

all. >> pete: telling the truth and understanding what is opening to happening on the ground. i talked to jason castille and he said not every enemy of saddam hussein. we are ten days into this as well. one more quickly, bill, is your assessment vladimir putin incompetent and a madman? >> we are going to find out if he miscalculated or not, but i don't believe he has a madman. he certainly did not launch this operation on his own purity had to have the support of all of the parties that needed the military, political leaders. he needed them on board. you know, again the question is did he miscalculated here? what i am watching here, and how divided nato, that is a calculated cold, calculated individual. i don't see the actions of a madman. we, again, if we fail to recognize the situation on the ground.

if we fail to understand who putin is and his motivations, this could come back to bite us. if it makes you feel good to say that putin's crazy. >> pete: they were lat is what we need to deal with, bill we appreciate your reality. thank you for talking to spirits young men listing in ukraine's military to protect the homeles, and inside the war zone at the top of the hour. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

[background sounds] rachel: it's 6 a.m. here in new york k and we begin with a fox news alert: russia is reportedly not observing the ceasefire it claimed is in place this morning, that is according to the bbc just moments ago. will: overnight the kremlin offering a way to escape, president zelenskyy asking

people to stay and help fight. later■ç this morning he will spk to members of the senate, united states senate. pete: zelenskyy also thanking the overwhelming support from around the world. rallies across europe. benjamin hall leads our coverage from kyiv. benjamin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, it appears that despite the ceasefire, russia continues to shell civilian areas, the death toll also continues to rise. we now gather that russian troops are moving in on the country's second largest nuclear power station one day after attacking the largest power station. significant control over the population and also their energy. secretary blinken made it very clear there will be no fly zone. >> the only way to actually implement something like a no-fly zone is to send nato planes into ukrainian air space and to shoot down russian planes, and that could lead to a

full fledged war in europe. we are not going to get into a war with russia. >> reporter: on the ground putin's sources continue to mor■ forward despite russia saying it will observe a ceasefire. 840 children are believed to have been wounded and about 100 people could be trapped underneath rubble outside kyiv as putin continues to insist he is not hitting civilian areas. president certificate linskey -- zelenskyy has torn into what he calls a weak nato. in the nato we wants? if. >> translator: is this the nato we wants? the alliance could -- our sky, but i do not know who you can protect and whether you can protect nato countries. >> reporter: ukrainians are doing their best to fight back with and without weapons, and they are having some success in

picking off russian attackers, unclear how long they're able to hold them off. so many here are defiant. >> they are losing, that's why they are shelling our cities, try to strike fear in our hearts. but that's not going to happen. >> reporter: and president zelenskyy is set to speak with u.s. senators at 9:30 this morning. it's unlikely he's going to get the support he's asking for. pete: benjamin, thank you. we're trying to get a sense of what's going on. you know, the shelling seems a lot more intense down in the south, and based on what you've seen -- we've got joey and benjamin. benjamin if, the shelling is more intense in the south than where you are right now, although we know they would like to get to the capital. does that give you a sense of where their priority is just this many talking to, getting the information you're getting? has the main effort shifted to the south right now for the russians? >> reporter: yeah. look, there's no doubt that in

the first few days they made a direct push on kyiv, and i think they hoped to decapitate the government here. that convoy remains stuck about 50 miles outside the capital, so instead they've focused on the north, the east and the south, and if you look at the map, they've managed to control lots of oaz borders, and it's pretty clear they will soon control all of the black sea areas of ukraine. yes, it■ç appears that's their focus now. they're actually moving down from the northeast of kyiv, coming at the city from two direction, but they've got a couple of major cities. they're surrounding mariupol, they're flattening kharkiv, odesa seems next on the list are. they're now taking a more slow, you know, labored way because this is not going to happen in days or weeks. it seems that this is now a plan for months. rachel: benjamin, we've had several guests on at the last hour, we started at 5 a.m. this morning. some of our guests have said,

listen, the russian military's very disorganized, the people -- there's a lot of, you know, disillusion. and then other guests have said, no, no, they're very strong, this is plan b, they're moving forward. when you talk to ukraine koreans, what -- ukrainians, what do they think? do they think the russians are strong, or do they think that they're disorganized and not doing well? >> reporter: they know that the ukrainian -- that the russian army is the powerhouse here. they know that, you know, they cannot face directly to them. but tiuy're also aware that this is their land, they can move more freely and pick them off. yes, they are hopeful and, of course, buoyed by these reports that russian tanks and armored vehicles are getting bogged down, logistical problems, morale problems and, of course, the fact that con join remains stuck -- convoy remains stuck or at least it's not moving to the northwest of kyiv gives them hope. but when it comes down to it,

the sheer scale and size of the russian army manes that, yes, they might be set by logistical problems, but they will just reassess them and keep moving forward: it's why it's so important to keep the supply lines open, to keep getting the ukrainians these javelins and stinger, and for the moment there are some decent supply lines through poland. they're hopeful, and i think much of this depends not on what happens in ukraine, but what happens back in russia and whether or not putin feels he can't proceed based on public opinion there. he has very rarely cared about public opinion or even sanctions, so they're being hopeful, they're being strong here in■ç ukraine, but there's a sinking feeling. and you can tell it from the way that president zelenskyy appears to be demanding and criticizing the west more and more just how badly they realize they need more help here. >> hey, benjamin, we report on russian troops, we show their ballot lines, we can see they

come from belarus, crimea, russia, we don't really report a rot on the ukrainian troop movement. and i guess my question is as they're starting to attack more from the south now as opposed to just keefe or as the east -- kyiv, are there these movements of ukraine korean battalions or ukrainian companies of fighters? is there anything happening to where they're chasing where the russians are attacking from? because we hear serb cities like in mariupol, there were hardly any troops there. >> reporter: the it's almost exclusively defensive. there are no troop movements on the ukraine side. we see them being able to lay a few traps for, you know, the invading russians, but you're not seeing large scale ukrainiaç movements, and that's because russia has the strongest air force. surprisingly, the ukrainians do still have an air force, they have not given up air

superiority yet, and there's a big call for more fighter jets to be given to them byes tone ya, list -- by estonia, lithuania, latvia that the pilots here are used to flying. it's a defensive movement, certainly. will: benjamin hall live from kyiv, thank you. i want to focus on, if we might, on something that we said before we started talking to benjamin, and that is president zelenskyy of ukraine will be speaking to united states senators today. he had some harsh words for nato countries who are unwilling to go all in on a no-fly zone. and i should mention, and he already asked the question, but joey jones joins us in the conversation on the couch. i think we have to be able to praise zelenskyy's bravery, his valor and say that he is also not in charge of making decisions for the united states of america. a no-fly zone, make no mistake about it, and i think we're beginning to throw that term it has to be enforced.

it sounds benign, but when a russian jet is flying over ukraine, how do you insure that is not done? that is done by shooting down russian planes, and that means an act of war. that means united states planes shooting down russian planes, and i don't think that's zelenskyy's decision to make. the people of the united states of america need to make. >> i think we need to be a part of it. just take that even a step back. there are a lot of people that are critical of president zelenskyy as far as how he's ran his government, things of that nature. about half of americans would say they thought president trump was corrupt, the other half would say president biden's corrupt, but if we were at war, i think most of the world would support us. there's a difference between saying ukraine has to be pure in nature for us to say that's the right side we want to be on than sit here and paint somebody as a larger than life hero. i don't think anyone has to be a hero to say, hey, does it or does it not make sense to defend

if ukraine. i think people need to take a step back and say we're not under any■ç preconceived notion. just because president zelenskyy , there's a class of americans that are idolizing him, there are other geopolitical things here. as far as him coming to our senate and talking to them, listen, i'm an american. i don't want to be preached at by any world reeder, but i understand where he's coming from. he's fighting for every opportunity to save his country. pete: if i was him -- >> exactly. exactly. [inaudible conversations] and that's what i'm saying. i think americans need to be able to digest this from both sides, right? we understand why he's doing what he's doing, but we still have to do what's best for our people, our interests and what promises have we made if in that order. rachel: and who are the voices calling for? what i find very interesting is some of the strongest, most bellicose voices calling for a no-fly zone and even --

>> i'd love to see lindsay graham in camo, how about that? because he loves war. rachel: listen, i agree with you 100%, and i will say this, some of the most bellicose voices coming for the no-fly■ç zone are people who had ptsz from january 6th -- if ptsd from january 6th, you know what i'm saying? they talk a big game, but it's other people's children who are going to fight. >> maybe war unites congress before it unites us, i don't know, it seems that way. i would say this, those senators are there to represent us, but i'm glad they're listening to him -- rachel: sure. >> i'm glad they're getting a firsthand look at what the president of ukraine has to say. but at the end of the day just like will started this segment with, a no-fly zone, no matter how you do it -- i've heard general kellogg you could do it in a tapered way, listen, at the end of the day, russia spends narratives to justify -- spins narratives to justify their next

move. if we're involved in the air space in a kinetic way over ukraine under any guise, that's war, and i don't think we're prepared for it. pete: and you mentioned international agreements, that goes back to 1994. ukrainians could say, well, you made us give up our nuclear weapons and said you would defend us,■ç and you're not. rachel: that's true. pete: war crimes is another way in which the international community can feel compelled to get involved. our jacqui heinrich asked jen psaki about the prospect of are war crimes being committed. here's what was said. >> if the review finds that putin did commit war crimes, then what happens? >> we have our own internal review going on. we also joined 44 other countries in establishing an expert mission through the osc to investigate possible violations and abuses of international rights and humanitarian law by russia. >> is there anything that can be done if putin is committing war

crimes? >> obviously, determination about the future role of any country in an organization would be up to the member countries of that organization. we are one, we are not the only one. but certainly, accountability would be a part of that process. pete: first of all, joey, i don't believe russia is a signatory to many of these treaties. [laughter] which actually does matter whether or not they apply to you. but the idea of designation of war crimes can also come with the trappings of, say,■ç obligations. you know, from the international community to say, well, war crimes are being committed, now we need to do more. >> i think at the end of the day the big concern here is we can't stop them from what we mow they're doing wrong and believe they're doing wrong, i don't know what comes after that as far as war crimes or anything else you're really going to be able to stick. and you made the point earlier, and i just made it two seconds ago, russia's going to take whatever narrative makes sense for them, and it's going to be hard to push back because it's

going to be an international they said/we with said. now, regardless if that's true, i don't know we have enough there to prove that's not true. and we'll kind of go down rabbit hole of that. meanwhile, the country of ukraine becomes, what, you know, a battlefield? and that's all it becomes? i get the point of asking the questions. i don't know that the administration is in a place right now to answer that question. rachel: yeah. will: to your point, pete, what starts out as a red line, you will not invade an article v country of nato, you will provoke an american response, starts creeping r closer. war crimes, humanitarian aid, no-fly zone. our line of involvement is getting tight ther around vladimir putin. if. pete: the red line can end up getting smaller, and finish the all in the name of preventing crossing the original red line which keeps moving. >> you know, the really sad thing about all of this, and

with we can go back and blame ten administrations in a row if we want to. but the sad place is we sit in this place today, and the whole world knows russia gets to do this because they have nuclear weapons, and there's two people that see that the most, and that's north korea and is iran. that a says -- will: joey, that is so right because that's what's lurking in the background of everyone who proceeds with caution. you're talking about a nuclear power here as your adversary, and you're absolutely right. the lesson should be stop iran, deal with north korea. that's the leverage you give away when you let a tyrannical regime have a nuclear weapon. >> and when we have fight over the iran deal, it's an ideological fight over how we sprint this with them -- prevent this with them going after israel, which we know they want dodî9ñ pete: yeah. it should be a lesson, yet another lesson, when someone says -- putin's been talking about this for years. >> absolutely. will: thank you, joey. rachel: thank you, joey. all right. as russia's brutal invasion continues, the world has been

stunned by the impressive bravery of ukrainians stepping up to protect their homes. will: our next guest, ceo of students for freedom for ukraine, daniel humpkin -- lumpkin joins us now. tell us your thoughts this morning as you see these events unfold. >> good morning being, america. so i was living in kyiv for all of my life, and two days ago i had to evacuate the city because there was too many people who want to be a part of defense, so there would be no place for me. so eventually i was just left out, so i moved to rural area. same situation, there's too many people who want to fight for their country and not enough actually weapons and protective gear. we have a huge problem with that. so id had to flee home, and i'm waiting to be drafted. and just to draw a■ç line down here, ukrainian men, we just don't want to run away. this is our house.

the soviets came, we just want to protect our way of living. so i'm here, and i stay in ukraine, and i will fight as soon as possible. pete: daniel, it's amazing to hear more men than guns to provide them the opportunity. so what can you do to contribute? let's say you don't get a rifle, other people are not able to have a rifle, how do you see your involvement in resisting the russians? >> yeah. it's wonderful question. so we have, basically, several opportunities. one is fight the army, as we know, ukraine has a lot of folks who are in big tech companies outside of ukraine and 100,000 people who are using their laptops actually to shut down russian web sites, to have cyber attacks on them. so, basically, you can sit at home, i mean, on your couch and still contribute to the war. me and my organization, we criminated a web site which is called congress help

ukraine.org, and you■ç can actually access your representative and ask them to send more help in a a way which is usable to you. i believe that u.s. has to have more support of ukraine. it's really important to underline. so -- [audio difficulty] many different things, and we're doing that, and we're just waiting eagerly to go and fight and protect our country. there's many ways to do that even if you are just couch potato. [laughter] rachel: one of the things that's being discussed here in the united states is, obviously, oil and energy. right now we spend about $22 million in terms of the money we give to russia to get their oil. what's your message to joe biden and those in charge of that decision as far as us buying oil from russia at this point? >> yeah.

sost really, i would say -- so it's really, i would say, pathetic how the u.s. administration are dealing with that. instead of stepping up and■ç giving more oil and gas to all the countries around the globe and actually stop -- biden has to stop fighting oil and gas industry in the u.s. just to replace the russian oil, and in the end everyone will be happy. right now we're going to sanction them here, sanction them there, but it's not doing damage. the biggest damage, as you rightfully mentioned, is oil and gas. if would say, you know, stand up and say we will not import bloody oil to actually sponsor this blood bloody war, it will send a signal to international companies. no one would like to trade with russia except some crazy regime. and it's really important. banning russian oil is priority number one, i would say, right now in terms of sanctions because you are basically, i mean, american people right now

are sponsoring bombs which are killing children which, in my opinion, is morally unacceptable. >> daniel, you see these cities and important buildings literally get reduced to rubble. it's a tough question, but i think it's important. does it strengthen your resolve to■ç fight until the end, or do you begin to feel defeat when you see it happening in your backyard or an important building in your life? when we see these before or and after pictures and it becomes a war zone. >> yeah. thank you for this really important question. so thing is we have attacks here almost every day. we have air defense, but they usually fly above and, of course, any human being would be frightened for themselves, for their family,inging for their loved ones. just imagine leaving your house because it was bombarded. it's just mind blowing in 21st century. but still i would like to underline ukrainian people want to have their families in

safety, and ukrainian men and women want to fight until the end. russians will face horrible insurgency on the ground. pete: daniel lubkin, thank you so much, appreciate your insight. up next, former cia station chief dan hoffman. he knows a lot about are russians, and we're going to ast him aboutia it coming up.■ç then own it support your immune system with a potent blend of nutrients and emerge your best every day with emergen-c ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪ ♪cold beer on a friday night♪ ♪a pair of jeans that fit just right♪ ♪and the radio up well i've seen the sunrise...♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's - [female narrator] they line up by the thousands. each one with a story that breaks your heart. get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. like ravette... every step, brought her pain. their only hope: mercy ships.

♪ ♪ pete: as war continues to rage in ukraine, many in the west are asking what can be done to end it. our next guest says the biden administration committed a strategic failure and that we're only now playing catch-up. here to break it down what the cia could do as well, former station chief daniel hoffman. what was strategic failure that led to this in your mind, and what can be done about that, first. >> yeah. so, you know, we ran the equivalent of a live twitter feed declassifying cia intelligence on how the russian invasion was imminent. and that was fine, but we didn't have a policy designed to make ukraine stronger and deter russia's invasion. now, that is the fault of many u.s. administrations. we never made it■ç sufficiently clear to vladimir putin that it

would be prohibitively costly in terms of spilled blood and treasure to invade ukraine. that's the essence of deterrence. vladimir putin got away with a lot. he invaded georgia, and for that he got a reset policy from the obama administration. he invaded ukraine, annexed crimea in 2014, we did not follow true effectively after that to enhance ukraine's security and give them the military equipment that they were asking for. and then you take it all the way to today, and the situation that we're in right now we are playing catch-up. the russians have 200,000 troops in ukraine, and as you've all mentioned, you know, the nuclear weapons and the clear policy, strategy from russia to keep the west out from any if correct, direct action in ukraine. pete: okay, daniel. how do we walk that tight rope? how do we both support the ukrainians in their fight against the russian invasion but also not create a condition where all that matters is vladimir putin's perception on

this, whether we like it or not, his perception that we've crossed a line that creates, you know, american■ç obligation or american involvement in this war? >> if you go back even to the cold war, the united states and the soviet union engaged in a lot of proxy wars, but we never engaged in direct combat, kinetic operations against one another, and that's the needle a in this administration is trying to thread and i, frankly, think any administration would be doing that right now where we're going to give as much assistance as we can to ukraine. we should have been delivering javelin, stingers, patriots and harpoon antia-shipments, we should have been doing that for months starting back when russia put 70,000 troops on the boarder in april. they got a summit out of that. so the key is to give ukrainians assistance. right now, according to admiral kirby, we're able to do that especially through western ukraine. at some point the russians are going to try to shut that down. the other thing we needed to be

doing, and i think biden's asking the intelligence community to tell him about the morale of those russian troops. at what point cowe see them say, you know what? we can't take orders from the■ç kgb guy in the kremlin. what does putin's inner circle think about how we've -- crateredded their economy? the fsb director and his national security adviser. pete: what are we to believe of that? because we're getting, you know, earnest guests on with very different perspectives about the actual capabilities of russian defends. defenses. what's your assessment? if 200,000 clearly bogged down at some level, but ultimately overwhelming firepower. you factor in 40 real, you factor in, you know, geography, if you're assessing the russian military effort right now, what are you seeing? >> yeah. so i'm, you know, my heartbreaks to have to say this, but

russia's strategy is not like ours, pete. you know and i know from our experience in the war zones we do everything we can to adhere to the law of armed conflict, proportionality and discriminating between civilian targets and legitimate military targets. russia doesn't do that. look at how they decimated aleppo.■ç their policy is scorched earth. they don't have enough troops to fight an a insurgency. what they want to do is subdue ukraine and destroy ukrainians' will to fight, that's why they're trying to remove zelenskyy who's been so effective at mobilizing international support and inspiring his followers. so that's, ultimately, that's going to be the question. at what point do the russians realize that this is not going to work for them. pete: when that calculation comes. dan hoffman, thank you so much for your time. all right. russia is waging war on its own

we've been standing together in support of ukraine and against russia's unprovoked, unwarranted, premeditated invasion. in nato, the european union, the osce, poland is doing vital work to respond to this crisisment it's hosteded an increased nato presence, supported robust sanctions against russia, and it has done a great deal to facilitate security assistance to ukraine. nato allies, defense cooperation between poland and the united states, i think it's safe to say is closer than it's ever been. since january 30th the united states has more than doubles the number of our military personnel in poland to now more than 10,000 including a brigade of the 82nd airborne decision -- division, and we've significantly increased the military capabilities we've

positioned in poland. as president biden has said, we will defend every inch of nato■ç territory. poland is also a leading responder to the humanitarian crisis that russia's invasion of ukraine has sparked. as of today, more than 700,000 people have been forced to flee the violence perpetrated by russia by crossing the border from ukraine to poland. with more coming every single day. i'm going to have the opportunity to speak to some of the folks who have come over just recently from ukraine, but i have to say it's an incredibly powerful reflection of poland's values that vulnerable people know that here they will find refuge. finish to help support the needs of ukrainians in poland and other countries, the biden administration just requested of congress 2.5 -- excuse me, $2.75 billion in humanitarian assistance. that that's to meet the need of vulnerable people and

communities inside crew -yard line -- ukraine as well as to support refugee services including here in poland. that's in addition to the more than $54 million that we announced just last week. we also sent a■ç disaster assistance response team to poland working very closely with humanitarian agencies to provide the critical health care, safe drinking water, sanitation, hygiene supplies, protection for vulnerable people, especially women and children. we've delivered nearly 20,000 thermal blankets suited for cold climates, provided funding for emergency supplies to sustain health care for up to 100,000 people for three months and up to 500 emergency surgical procedures. embassy kyiv has temporarily relocated to poland as well, and i'm grateful for that, that poland is hosting them. they and our embassies and consulates in poland and across the region are working hard to assist american citizens and their families departing ukraine and to help them with the influx

of u.s. military personnel, humanitarian workers as well as assistance. we establish a u.s. welcome center close to the ukrainian border. it's been operating 24/7 since hostility began. we have support teams as well stationed in romania, hungary, slovakia, moldova to assist any if americans who are■ç leaving ukraine. at this moment of crisis for millions of ukrainians and as the security of europe hangs in the balance, poland has stepped forward with generosity, with leadership, with resolve. we're grateful for the strong foundation of friendship and cooperation we've built together over many, many decades which so many are now relying on today. thank you. >> thank you very much. time for some pictures, please. pete: that was the secretary of state in poland speaking in brussels, actually, with the polish foreign minister as they

discuss ongoing diplomatic efforts. if there are additional questions worth taking, we will go to them. but now we're going to bring in joey jones and retired u.s. marine corps bomb tech as well as will cain to break down -- we were just talking diplomatic, now we're talking military. will: yeah, let's talk a little tactical. joey, we have a zoomed-in map of kyiv. give us a sense of the lay of the land right now. >> we have several major storylines this mnbning. i think what this map really shows is although most of the news has been down south, and we'll get to that, the assault on kyiv is not stopping. as a matter of fact, if you kind of look here, i think i've got the pointerrer, you can start to see a cordon come in around kyiv. and the only route they have is from poland, essentially, because the north is secured, the south is being secured, they're coming from the east, and i guess what this really shows is the russians are starting to move their way in. will: i don't know how much

detail is on your screen, but this is the outline, sort of the suburban population of kyiv. there are reports that the russians made quick advances from the east, but it's slow down now that they've reached those suburban buildings and area. and this is when it gets really messy and can get rough. let's move forward here, joey, and let's take a look. we've heard a lot about these nuclear power reactors. there was a lot of news about this one, you and i talked off screen about this. it's still critical, it's still important but perhaps not the nuclear meltdown we were originally fearing. >> and this is where you'll■ç se on twitter, you'll hear americans say finish it sounds like propaganda from both sides. we had the ukraine ukrainian president tell us radiation leak. if you understand how reactors are built, most of that is underground and under concrete. these things are designed to take a jetliner crashing into them. the people that operate these reactors that are necessary, and

some of that is from what happened with chernobyl, the operations are a little wit different now, they were under stress, and they were worried: they had already shut down the first reactor for may not chance, the next two being shut down for regular operations. the fourth reactor is at 60%, and the other two are in reserve for low power. so what that means is they're operating this reactor. and so much less about a nuclear explosion or a steam explosion that creates spillage like a chernobyl. it's the idea that russians can take control of this and weapon nice the production of power. you've talked about why can't they just use cyber or to shut things down. that's not how nuclear energy works. you've got to put it somewhere, you can't just shut it down with the■ç keyboarder, but the people at the facility can, and that's the scare there. bill. will: vladimir putin's aim as, his ambitions, his tactical desires are multifact tomorrow, but something worth pointing out, pete and i have talked about this, this is all russian

advance at this point. >> yeah. will: as you point out, this is odesa, one of the last remaining holdouts along the black sea. if you can cut off ukraine from the black sea, you do get a tactical advantage. there have been since 2012 massive oil and gas deposits found in the black sea. what happened after they found that out in 201? vladimir putin took over cry crimea and the majority of those territorial waters and right to that oil and gas. when we're looking at offramps to this war, when we're looking at something a putin may want beyond occupying the entire territory, watch this. watch for this desire to take over essentially every territorial claim to oil, gas and power in the black sea. that is if his am a biggss are less than -- ambitions are less than occupying the entirety of ukraine. >> and real quickly, there have been■ç marine landings which mes troops came through the ocean and onto shore in this area. that's a very dangerous and scary -- as a marine, that's not

easy to do. so the military operations the russians have done in the south have been impressive considering how they've done it. will: one more mask. we just heard from tony blinken, by the way, 10,000 u.s. troops now in poland. >> i think what's important here as this continues to go on, benjamin hall told us morning probably months long, not weeks or days, these are where americans will be. we have close -- colleagues providing medical support. these countries are where you're going to see a lot of american money and people go to help these refugees, and as you can see, the mass exodus of more than a million people, i don't think a million people are backfilling coming in to support the war effort, so you'll see this when all this is said and done, where do those people go? we interviewed somebody just a few minuting ago, and i said when these big, important buildings become rubble, does that challenge your resolve. he said no. so these million people may be back in ukraine rebuilding if their keep their independence.

will: huge■ç number. 1.2 million people leaving ukraine. pete, over to you. pete: well done. the united states slapping sanctions on more russian oligarchs including some with close ties to vladimir putin as the war rages on. who are these oligarchings and how are they connected to russia's president? here to break it all down is national security and military analyst and international relations expert dr. rebecca grant. doctor, thank you so much for being here. we hear the term oligarch all the time. we know wealthy, powerful, influential, some directly connected to vladimir putin. let's talk about some of these oligarchs, if we can. first one is usmanov worth reportedly $18 billion, tied to vladimir putin, multiple business investmentings. how significant is sanctioning of him? >> very significant. these are putin's best buddies from back in the day. remember, these crafty crooks got rich two ways, east by

taking over old soviet industries or by doing federal business with russia and putin. and so these sanction ises are there's no place for him to hide his money. and believe me, these guys aren't putin's friends any longer. treasury's been a little slow, but i am glad to see them rolling in behind the european union and putting some sanctions on these -- pete: so you think this, you made a pretty stark statement, not his friends any longer. do you think their financial interests are the only way in which they're tied to vladimir putin, and if that gets cut off, they're going to turn on him? do we have any indication of their investment in his overaround a. ing cause? >> well, you can be sure that if he thought he had their support before, you know, usmanov, that was his yacht that was seized up in hamburg, that big, ugly 500-9 foot yacht, so you've got to know they are blowing up his phone saying why did you do

this? now, is that going to help ukraine today? i don't know. you've got to remember, there's sill that russian energy sector. pete: let's get to that. the next oligarch you mentioned energy, he is the president of russia's oil company. 90%, he's responsible■ç for transferring 90% of oil extracted in russia. he's likely not happy right now. >> yeah. he's the pipeline guy. and tokarev and putin were best friends back in germany. they were kgb officers together. so i think his reaction is going to have some impact on putin, no question. but here's what's disappointing. as satisfying as it is to see the yacht being seized and all the sanctions, biden has still put no sanctions on the energy sector, and that -- and i quote treasury -- means that the sale, purchase and transport of russian gas and oil is still going okay. pete: he may not be feeling the pinch. the last one is dmitri peskov,

vladimir putin's press secretary and kremlin spokesperson, someone very, very close to putin at this moment. >> very close. and that proves to me9 that the sanctions mean you can't hide behind any kind of diplomatic immunity just because you're part of that russian federation government. heck, they're all close to being war criminals at this point, and that means peskov is in that group as■ç well. pete: real quick, is this meant to pressure if putin, or does putin himself have direct financial ties to these oligarchs' business interests? >> he does have some direct financial ties. in fact, we think tokarev pays the bills for putin's summer house, so this may start to get to some of putin's personal wealth too. pete: interesting. dr. rebecca grant, thanks for breaking it down for us. >> thank you. pete: coming up, ukraine allies vowing to hold on to the very end as russian troops advance. the commander of the georgia began battalion january --

rachel: benjamin hall, what are you seeing on the ground there? >> reporter: yes, like you, we've heard the cease fires are not being observed in mariupol at least. there will not be an evacuation from that city today, and as such we're seeing them continuing to attack civilian areas and seeing that death toll continuing to rise. we also gather russian forces are move willing in on the country's second largest nuclear power station, this after they took the largest power station just a couple days ago. putin able to turn off the gas if he sees fit in the ted of

winter here. secretary blinken has made it clear there will be no fly zone. >> ukrainians in poland and other countries, the biden just requested of congress 2.5 -- excuse me, $2.75 billion in humanitarian assistance both to meet the need of vulnerable people and communities inside ukraine as well as to support refugee services including here in poland. >> reporter: on the ground putin's forces continue to move forward despite russia saying that its military would observe that ceasefire. 840 children are believed to have been wounded, dozens perhaps killed, and around 100 people could be trapped underneath rubble outside kyiv. putin continues to insist though he is not hitting civilian areas. president zelenskyy has torn into what he calls a weak nato for refusing the no-fly zone.

>> translator: is this the nato we wanted? is in the alliance we were building? today the alliance and leadership gave the green light for further bombing of ukrainian cities by continuing to make -- refusing to make a no-fly ozone. i do not know who you can protect and whether you can protect nato countries. >> reporter: ukrainians are doing their best to fight back both with and without weapons, and they're having some success in picking off a russian attackers. it is unclear how long they'll be able to hold them off, and there are many who simply can't leave. >> i can't believe because my family's here. my family's here, my mother, my grandparents. they're pretty old. we can't take them. >> reporter: president zelenskyy will speak with u.s. senators at 9:30 today. one of the big points has been, yes, nato may not impose a no-fly zone, but was with it necessary to be so equivocal about this and insist cyst it would not happen.

thatted idea of strategic ambiguity which the u.s. has with taiwan at least ought to make putin think twice. taking it off so clearly and so early some people here are saying was a mistake. pete: interesting, benjamin. the idea of taking that off the table while also choreographing -- we knew what vladimir9 putin was doing and sort of broadcasting from the sidelines but not necessarily saying we would do anything other than sanctions. what is -- based on your understanding of the ukrainian government, zelenskyy and other, what do they seriously believe america might do at this point? there's a lot of things that are seemingly off the table. what is their biggest ask, you know, as far as support for real? is it the weapons flowing in, they just need that too? >> reporter: yeah. it's weapons, it's financial aid. you know, the economy here, of course, has crumbled, it needs to be shored up. medical aid, food and supplies, those are all dwindling here.

it is everything they can get their hands on. i was speaking to an mp yesterday who said nothing is enough. they need as much as they can get, and they'll take whatever they can get as well. rachel: benjamin, we hear so much about how bravely the ukrainians are fighting, and i think a lot of people are inspired by that. do you ever hear talk among ukrainians about a desire for a negotiated settlement of some sort, or is it like they're in this to the end and the end game that they believe it's not going to stop until they are either defeated or they defeat the russian millionaire -- military? >> reporter: everyone says they're willing to talk to russia. president zelenskyy himself says the only way it'll end is through negotiation. but putin's demands are nonstarters. he wants independence of the even regions in crimea, he probably wants a lot more. look, they've sat down twice already, they've had some sort of small level negotiation, but neither side are close to

agreeing, and it seems both sides are hoping they might if end up in a better position when negotiations finally happen, because the russians want to control far more territory, and i hope the ukrainians hoping -- i think the ukrainians are hoping they can hold the russians back for even a few more weeks so that the forces appear to be stuck this a quagmire, then perhaps that's a better place for them in negotiations. right now both sides think they might be able to get into a better negotiating position. will: real quick follow-up, benjamin. sounds like putin's desires, his requests are maximalist and something ukraine simply can't accept. what are ukraine's terms? are they maximalist as well? nothing short of full russian withdrawal? or is there some type of compromise that you get the sense from the ukrainians they would be willing to offer? >> reporter: well, they are maximalist. they want a complete withdrawal,

but in reality i'm sure they could perhaps, there could be some flexibility and more autonomy in some of the eastern regions, more awe on theny -- autonomy for crimea with, more recognition of russian influence in crimea. that's not going to be acceptable to the russians either. so at the moment, in any negotiation you take the maximalist position and hope you can meet in the middle. it's unclear when negotiations can move forward. this is going to be a long, drawn out battle, no doubt about it. rachel: the art of the deal. benjamin, thank you so much for all your insight and for being there on the ground. i know it's not easy, thank you. pete: yeah. tough to negotiate with a gun to your head. you have to say you're willing to and hope you can create conditions where it's advantageous, but right now it's a street fight. and it's unclear that vladimir putin cares one bit about any if international condemnation he gets from civilian targetses being hit. if anything, the experiences show you he takes pleasure in

the idea of bending the knee of his opponent especially in the way that he will characterize it, through a totally state-controlled media. and he will characterize it with his own twisted spin of the fact that the ukrainians have taken up arms, civilians, and as a result they've made civilian targets military targets, and if you're going to hide amongst women and children, maybe we'll give them a little time to flee, but we're going to level your cities. you can bog down our logistics to the north, we still have artillery, cruise missiles, bombers, and we can bomb you all today long many these cities until you submit. and then, will, as you pointed out, we can take kohl of your -- control of your energy resources. we didn't focus on this at the beginning, we were focused up north on the capital, but if you look at the bulk of their power distribution, it is in the south where they're making huge gains. they've already taken over the one nuclear facility, they're close to taking over the oh one.

you do that, now you do what we've been discussing for a while, you turn the lights out which turns the internet off, which creates a whole other dynamic of a war where you don't want these images being seen, and you want carte blanche to do what you want to against the ukrainian population. that's why when you hear military experts say we're in the first phase, that might be the case. rachel: i spoke with a member of parliament who said she thought nothing would change unless the russian people turn on putin. that's what you've been talking about, will. pete: tall order. rachel: it is. more than one million ukrainians are fleeing their homes this last week to's chain what has quickly become a dally war zone, but there are thousands of people including our next best making their way to ukraine. pete: joining us live is a battalion commander from the country of georgia. thank you so much for being here.

share what you can. absolutely. i know you have operational security concerns about things that you can talk about and your location, and those are all completely justified. what can you share with us about your fight against russians right now, the morale of your troops and the prospects for success. >> you know, we have -- the russian troops are permanent. they're doing 24 hours. ukraine today needs more action. we need more participation of world community. we need more moment of humanitarian organizations, and we need support because we are fighting for the world's security. you have heard a putin's forces have strike nuclear power station. so the guy is threatening the world's security not only ukraine. and we have all together to stop what is happening many ukraine and don't watch it live on

television. will: mamuka, you, as we mentioned, are from georgia. georgia has had its own war against russia back in 2008. was it -- what was it that drew you to this conflict? why go from georgia to ukraine and join this fight? >> russia invaded georgia in '90s first, and we had no means to resist russia by that time. the second assault georgia was in 2008 and whole world has seen what russia did to a peaceful georgia. you are speaking about, you are trying to spread the information what is going on. our ex-president said what is going on today in georgia is going -- ukraine is going to be next. and unfortunately, the world society, they won't listen to him. we have a war in the middle of europe, full scale war.

none of us should be watching this on television. we should participate and help ukraineed today to defend its freedom, to defend it people, defend civilians that are getting killed while i'm speaking now live. we need support from united states, we need ukraine's sky to be non-fly zone. we need support right now. rachel: mamuka, you say that you were fighting when you were 14 years old. is that correct? >> yes. i've been in captivity, in russian captivity when i was 14 years old, and i became 15 when i was in russian captivity. i know how and what russia does to captives, i know what russia does to civilian and how they are killing georgians upon the region of georgia. they're doing the same exactly today in ukraine, ask we're here for eight years fighting russian aggression and fighting russian arms. pete: what is your, what is --

what type of -- what's the capabilities of the russian army a you're facing right now? you've talked about their willingness to kill civilians, and that's clear. but are they more well trained? are they more well equipped? are they willing to be aggressive, or are they relying almost entirely on aerial bombings and hoping that softens upper the four -- territory for them to take. >> they are better equipped, they have more weapon but we have more motivation because we're protecting our families, we're protecting our children and women. therefore, they cannot step even one centimeter towards our positions. we are holding them. but ukraine is already having humanitarian disaster. we need organizations to help ukrainians to give them green corridors to countries that are on the border with you yard lino

help from united states. we need more anti-tank system, more anti-air systems and do, generally we immediate your help, guys can -- we need your help, guys. will: having the experience of having fought the russians in 2008 in georgia, how similar or different is it today in 2022 in ukraine? do you see similar tactics? are they deploying -- for that matter, by the way, there's been talk about how sophisticated their weaponry is and how aged it is. what do you see that compares from 2008 to today? >> i see two exactly similar parallels between georgian invasion in 2008 and invasion in ukraine. they're using the same techniques, they're using hybrid war, and they experiment hybrid war on georgia and start using it on ukraine. you were speaking about it, you are warning the world, and you are warning, unfortunately, corrupted politicians especially from france and germany that

were saying that georgia started the war with russia. we were warning them that russia is a big threat to europe and security, is a threat to world security, but nobody will listen to us. i hope now all the world will see what russia is doing. rachel: really quick, the world is seeing this, and i want to get your response to this. a lot of americans want to help ukraine, they want to give them weapons so they can fight their fight, but when you say no-fly zone, that we should enforce that as nato, as americans, some americans are worried that this could escalate the war, that we could get world war iii. what is your response to that? >> you know i would say that putin was bluffing many times in threatening ukraine, and today we see the full scale war. i think today we all have to risk something to save world. every nation has to risk something. we're risking our lives, and

we'll be standing here til death, and we will not let russians enter ukraine. enter the areas where they are assaulting now. but we need your support. we need everybody to sacrifice something for this fight. it's a fight for the world against barbarians. will: well, if anybody would know, it's you having fought the russians since you were 14. pete: commander mamuka, thank you so much for your time and godspeed. godspeed if. >> thank you, sir. rachel: wow. sounds like a tough fighter. pete: i mean, can you imagine? can you imagine also sort of having seen the barbarity of russian troops, which is infamous, their willingness to level civilian areas and and not have any concern about the -- they fight war complete arely differently -- rachel: he was held in captivity as a teenager. pete: held in captivity as well, and you've been saying this is going to happen, this is going to happen, and now it is

happening, and if you're him, it's certainly from his perspective probably feels like already the beginning of world war iii. will: it's existential for him. pete: correct. will: i think the great debate that rachel is introducing and that many americans may share is, is it existential for the world. do vladimir putin's ambitions end in ukraine, and the answer -- if the answer is no, then, yes, it is existential for the world. but his perspective is certainly clear. pete: correct. he's saying world war for has are -- world war iii has already began. from our perspective, it could start if we introduce a no-fly zone. rachel: that's why we need information, we need more, you know, information on the ground, and we need to be able to trust our leaders, and i think that's one of the big problems that we have right now. pete: the lack of trust for so much of what we get in the media

here. imagine being in russia, being a free thinker and knowing you're being lied to. at least one russian news network the staff has now walked off the set to end broadcasting because there's a crackdown from the kremlin. you know, a studio not unlike what we have here broadcasting quite different things and, apparently, they're had enough and said we will no longer be a part of the propaganda coming from vladimir putin. will: so we talked about this throughout the morning -- by the way, that's what's happening as pete described it, that's a newscast walking off the set. so we talked this morning, and, rachel, you just brought it up once again, what can you trust, what can you believe. rachel: right. will: there is so much information coming out of this war, this russia/ukrainian war that simply has not been true. and i believe many of us sitting at home today probably aren't even aware of how much falsehood we have consumed. i want to say while we've talked about the snake island story

which the ukrainian navy has confirmed those soldiers are alive and well, there is neither side in the war that has a monopoly on propaganda or the truth. everyone. they say the first casualty of war is the truth, and whether that's through propaganda or the fog of war, i want to be clear as we look and criticize, russia as well is a massive perpetrator in propaganda. rachel: for sure. pete: and think of the courage it took for those broadcasters to step off that set. they could be stepping off that set straight into an arrest warrant or worse. rachel: yeah. pete: because they're not willing to be complicit -- rachel: and the owner of that channel, of that network has called for peace, has said they don't want war. we saw that russian tennis player who wrote that on the camera after he won, you know, no war, peace. so t not clear exactly, you know are, what is happening on the ground in russia because there's a lot of information we're not getting. are the people of russia getting

enough information? are they on the side of this war or are they against it, and we're just not hearing it. this is -- will, you brought this up very early on that you thought that the russian people could be very decisive in how this war goes. will: they need to know the truth in order to make a stand. pete: i think they just shut off facebook in russia as well. yeah, if they can get that information at all. right now they've got 200,000 troops surrounding the country, and they're all in. for continuing coverage on ukraine, check out worst case scenario a quick episode we put together on fox nation where we talk true if things go sideways, if the u.s. gets involved, if nuclear weapons get involved, what is the worst case scenario. we pray to aa void that, but foxnation.com and check it out. there's a lot of great stuff on fox nation, by the way, between that, who is vladimir putin, also a quick overview of all the russian military capabilities. just if you want to get quick

caught up to speed, it's worth checking out. we'll be right back. rachel: worst case scenario. real cowboys get customized car insurance with liberty mutual, so we only pay for what we need. -hey tex, -wooo. can someone else get a turn? yeah, hang on, i'm about to break my own record. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

will: russia's invasion of

ukraine overshadowing the biden administration's attempt to salvage the 2015 iran nuclear deal. after missing their deadline this week, senior diplomats have any doubts that any agreement is in sight. a visiting fellow at the independent women's forum joins now. dr. ahmed, thank you for joining us. it appears what we're watching take place in ukraine has,s i guess unsurprisingly, emboldened iran's demand for nuclear weapon. >> that's exactly right. i mean, iran is holding all of the cards. it's very unclear how much leverage the united states has,s and the window is narrowing because iran has continued to enrich your -- your rain uranium, and according to reuters maybe just weeks to months away from a nuclear weapon capability. at the same time, iran is reading the region very closely as is much of the middle east

that the russia-ukraine conflict is spinning beyond the influence of western and nato alliance and the united states government. our collapse in afghanistan told iran that the united states has a very low threshold for military intervention, and iran is insisting no limitations on any deal and no future american president could ever take, move away from the deal. so it's really a shocking development at a time that oil is reaching $125 a barrel, u.s. shale energy leaders have told us oil could go to $200 a barrel, and russia will gain now access to an oil-rich iran while the west is trying to sanction russia, and russia will have support from the if chinese and iranian economic freedoms. iran could stand to gain $90 billion immediately and $55 billion annually. and this is the state sponsor of

hezbollah, the irgc, the quds forces, hezbollah that's now devastated lebanon, has fought with russia in syria and has corrupted syria and has made iraq effectively a satellite state of iran. will: right. yeah, the lesson's clear, by the way. we're in this position of having to proceed cautiously with russia because of their nuclear capabilities. imagine a nuclear-capable iran. i want to follow up on what you just said about iran's relationship with russia, and you also brought china into this unholy alliance. what's the nature, in your estimation the, of the relationship between those three countries? >> well, i mean, much of this we have been watching unfold many if plain view. when the syrian civil war began, there was a very lukewarm response by the west.

our own government decided not to respond to red lines crossed by assad when he used chemical weapons on his people. you should shah decided to step in -- russia decided to step in. he saw access to the mediterranean with syrian warm water ports and decided to fight alongside syria with russian forces, alongside hezbollah. so russia is battle-hardened at war in syria with, fighting isis and with hezbollah they have a very deep military engagement and almost a decade of experience of that. will: wow. that is incredibly concerning relationship to factor into this complicated world today. dr. a meld, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, will. will: coming up, as secretary of state anthony blinken says, there is no strategic interest in russian energy sanctions, the white house is not taking anything off the a table.

us. stuart, thanks for being here. >> good morning, all. pete: break it down for us. >> can i start with the real news of the day? spiraling energy inflation, it's happening right now. we are in the many middle of it. i don't know whether you saw it, but i saw guys changing signs on gas stations overnight. instead of a 3 handle, it's got a 4 handle. the average price of a gallon of gasoline, regular gas, went up another 10 cents overnight. it's now up -- pete: 10 cents overnight? >> yes. pete: and it was 11 cents yesterday. >> 8 cents the day before that. you're now looking at a national average for regular gasoline tomorrow morning of $4. it's going to happen. rachel: and this has not taken into account russian oil being taken off the market which we expect to see her of. >> some russian oil has been taken off the moments because refiners won't refine it and the shippers won't ship. but that's not very much at all.

if antony blinken were to get onboard stopping all russian oil coming out of russia, you would have the price spike enormously from here. that's why he's reluctant to do it. pete: would that actually lead to forcing vladimir putin to hold back his ambitions? >> i don't think he can. he's already reck whered rush -- wrecked russia's economy. the russians have never had a particularly strong point about supporting their consumers. they don't really care what happens over there. and believe me, they are crashing as we speak. the ruble has crashed can which which means anything that russia has bought is going up in price dramatically. they can't touch it. the banks can't transmit money, there's no trade the going if on. russia's economy is crashing. i don't think i putin cares. so whatever extra we do, we -- he doesn't care. i think he's going for the whole

thing. will: then you ask the question of what, what then becomes the pressure on putin. if your economy is crashing, there has to be an inflection point at some point, is that simply people on the street experiencing this crash in the economy? >> it would have to be. but i don't know how that happens given authoritarianism in russia which clamps down on everything including jail sentences of 15 years if you put out misinformation. the dilemma is that the west really does need russian oil and gas -- rachel: we have our own oil and gas. this is the green new deal's war. i'm sorry, the people responsible for this, the people trying to run this crisis are the same people that brought us these policies. >> we are paying the price for green energy dreamings. that's what we're doing. we should immediately have an immediate process of drilling for more oil, fracking for more gas, building pipelines and getting it out there. can i just do one more thing here? i was talking about the price of

gas, record high $3.92, national average. did you see diesel? if diesel runs trucks and farm implements and industry, diesel went up 41 cents in the past week to an average price now of $4.41. those big rigs often have a tank of 300 gallons. that means a trucker will pay $1300 to tank up with diesel on his truck. he was paying $1100 three weeks ago. will: you said to us before we went on air, we're in it. inflation is a spiral. >> it's happening now. you can feel it and see it happening now. go outside and look at the gas station. everybody's filling up their tank because they know the price is going up some more. think what that does to america's inflation rate. you're already close to 10% at the consumer level. it's surely going higher than that, and it's not going away because throughout the economy you've got energy price inflation that's just getting moving. pete: we're already seeing the white house say, real quick, this is all just because of the invasion. >> no. it's because of america's energy

policies and the energy policies of western europe. will: before the invasion, to be clear. >> we're reflect stricting the supply -- restricting the supply of fossil fuels, demand's going up -- rachel: if they wanted to change, how quickly could we turn things around? >> that's a very good question, and i'm not sure of the answer. if you made it clear that a we are going for maximum domestic production, you made it clear to everybody, i think you'd change the tone of the market because you know that the cavalry's coming. rachel: there's no cavalry when it comes to green energy.

titled ukraine's war revives my nuclear nightmares, but zelenskyy's courage gives me hope. dr. siegel, good morning, and your op-ed is in "usa today." you say this is bringing back some really terrible childhood memories for you. >> rachel, when i grew up, we were hiding under desks, we had air a raid drills and, you know, a lot of time was spent in school with this idea that we could be facing a nuke around attack when i was a kid. and i believe that hummed under the surface of people as they grew up. it never quite went away, until the cold war went away. i think vladimir putin is deliberately bringing this back by putting nuclear force on alert, by fear and intimidation, by the type of weaponry he's using, report reportedly cluster and vacuum bombs. you just heard in the last segment about trying to shut off power. this type of fear and intimidation can only be responded to with courage and

humor and resilience and resourcefulness like we're seeing from zelenskyy. that also is inspiring us. and i'll tell you the most important thing, rachel, our brains work in a certain way, and in the brain, deep in the brain fear and those powerful emotions occupy the same place as courage does, as laughter does, as love does. so we can fight and, certainly in ukraine, they would fight the fear and intimidation of putin with the inspirit story leader of zelenskyy and the courage and resourcefulness he is showing. rachel: yeah. well, dr. siegel, for the last couple years our leaders have been putting fear and anxiety not just on our society, but specifically on children. now that the ukraine war is here, suddenly covid's over, and mayor adams has lifted the covid mandates, the mask mandates on children in schools for k-12. however, really weirdly he's

left it on for the least vulnerable, children 5 and under. why is he doing that when he knows that this is exactly the age of kids that are trying to learn to speak and get social cues? how bad is that? >> that's very bad. and, rachel, i love the comparison you just made because, again, it's politicians using fear to control. intimidation. and it's not based on science here because i'll tell you why. the 5-11-year-old group, the vaccine that we just showed in new york state that the vaccine does not decrease transmission, so why would you make under 5 wear a mask when, as you said, they're not even wearing them properly. child psychiatrists say they're not even wearing them properly, and socialization is affected dramatically. it makes no sense, it's inconsistent, and that leads to no inspiration from leaders. we won't follow that. rachel: no. shame on them. set these poor preschoolers

free. dr. marc siegel, your op-ed is in "usa today," and we thank you for joining us this morning. >> always great to be with you. thank you, rachel. rachel: great to see you too. still ahead, a news crew leaving kyiv ambushinged by russia's military. the horrifying video you won't believe.

thought of artillery close to the capital of kyiv. a team northwest in the last few hours, heavy shelling. there is a definite sense they are making these moves despite reports of cease-fires in some cities. as a result the death toll continues to rise. vladimir putin's troops moving towards the second biggs nuclear power station after he took control of the largest in the country. control of these nuclear stations gives control over the population. that is a real weapon in his arsenal. secretary blink and is speaking. he made clear there would be a no-fly zone.

>> ukrainians in poland and other countries. the biden administration requested $2.75 billion in humanitarian assistance to meet the need of vulnerable communities in ukraine and support refugee services including in poland. >> reporter: on the ground vladimir putin's forces move forward despite russia saying it would observe the cease-fire. 840 children have been wounded, others trapped outside the city of kyiv and vladimir putin insist he's not hitting civilians. volodymyr zelenskyy has torn into a weak nato for refusing this no-fly zone. >> translator: is this the nato we wanted? the alliance's leadership gave the green light for further bombing, refusing to make a

no-fly zone. i do not know who you can protect. >> they are doing their best to fight back with and without weapons and they are having some success picking of russian attackers where russia is occupying. it is unclear how long they can hold them off. many cannot leave. >> they feel they are losing. they are showing the city to strike fear in our hearts. that is not going to happen. >> reporter: a haven't moved ground groups into those cities they are trying to take over. people are fleeing. the humanitarian crisis is enormous was 1.2 million people have fled. will: one quick question.

you talked about russian troops getting closer to kyiv. evacuation routes shut down. it doesn't seem the outside come into or out of kyiv, what that makes life like in the city. you need food, you need deliveries. have you noticed a big change in quality of life? in anticipation of a battle but in terms of being surrounded by russian troops? >> reporter: there is no life here. this is a bustling city of 3 million people usually. there is not a single person on the streets. we walk around, soldiers are getting ready for streetfighting, sandbags, concrete barriers was we don't see a single person except pharmacies and food stores. many of those running dry. most people stocked up already but i can't impress on you how

quiet this city is. i was here two months ago, vibrant and full of life, it feels surreal and it is bracing for a russian invasion. they made clear they will have the full force of their army. they will find resistance was people are going to fight in part because they have volodymyr zelenskyy to follow. as a result the russians will be brutal. it is there modus operandi. the question is not if but when. will: thank you. rachel: two months ago when he was there a lot of people thought this invasion would not happen and that is why we saw the bustling around. let's bring in joey jones. what are your thoughts?

joey:we have more questions than answers. if you go on social media the first thing you hear is why don't they bomb that convoy or use the javelins they just got? there are a couple reasons. we don't know the size and scope of their current air force, or if that is fully defense if. pete: how many jets do they have in the air? i haven't seen good reports. joey:we keep reporting on russian troop movements but say nothing about ukrainian forces moving, do they have strategic battles? they are not putting that information out. we have been saying this since

last week, the opportunity to cut off ukrainian forces is what is happening, they consolidate everyone around here, i don't think we will find out? rachel: we had one guest say the russian military is not organized, it is a mess and another one going don't underestimate them, this is their plan, we don't know. pete: it seems we were too quick to dismiss the competence and success of the russian military. it does seem, what we are approaching is a siege type situation. stores are running low. we talk about civilians running low on the necessities of everyday life but factor in

they are already off the streets. what happens without food and medicine? you could soon lose electricity. some ways that appear to be the russian advantage. joey:he was open about his mother-in-law in kyiv who got out last week, brought that out to the public. and blowing up bridges, and evacuating cities and defense of measures to slow down to stop the russian advancements. we talk about emergency services, how are they able -- a lot of questions, some are

just curiosity but it shows it is not easy. pete: we talked to a ukrainian student. >> too many people want to fight for their country, we have a huge problem, this is our house. we just want to protect -- ukrainian men and women want to fight to the end. russians have a horrible insurgency on the ground. pete: they don't fight the western way of war. they don't fight by rules or care what international institutions say and if civilians are arming themselves the russians will view civilian targets as military targets.

joey:we talked about a fine line of us being part of a narrative and being invested in it, when the president calls civilians to arms, people are going to die. not saying it is not good they want to defend their country but the idea is it is not a celebratory rallying cry to know that untrained civilians, to protect what is theirs, a desperate place to be and civilian lives will be lost, something that complicates this, why can't we send planes and bullets, to get 1 million rounds over there, but international laws govern how you ship ammunition and explosives and weapons in the private company, still got to play by the rules and that slows things and changes

things. so much at play that people aren't aware of. it is not like we can load a ship full of stuff and everything is good to go. will: let's talk about that. we referred to different regions of the country. to recap, in the north we believed it would be vladimir putin's main effort. the attempt to take the capital has been installed was one of the videos we are showing is a russian helicopter shot down by a stinger missile. the ability to get those reinforcements is critical to holding off russian advances and multiple avenues from which, those tactical approaches have stalled and we

have seen it. the majority of ukrainian forces were in the east upwards of 60%. they've been at war for eight years. how quickly and a number of them have gone to reinforcing kyiv or the south and you have to make military decisions based on finite resources. these games moving to control energy affect one powerplant, are those gains a product of ukrainian saying let's fortify kyiv? we don't know what those movements look like or defending your homeland so you are staying in cities that are closest to you. i want to break down the south a little more. to go to the third stack focusing on the south.

this is a major staging area. they took crimea and have the ability to protect power and critically important, they want the reserves and access and push east, they want to go to odesa and push east to consolidate this land bridge so russians feed their war machine from the mainland of russia as well as the black sea. look for amphibious landings. i'm mixing up all my colors but amphibious landings from the russians which creates potentially another axis of advance toward kyiv, we are seeing absolute carpet bombing of cities like mariopol. we've not seen the indiscriminate bombing in kyiv yet but it could be coming. will: what does it tell you there are some cities you

pointed out earlier in the show where russian troops have marched through further north towards kyiv and other cities like kharkiv, the site of more civilian sieges? pete: a great point worth considering. if you look at kharkiv in the northeast, they haven't been able to take it yet. if you are the russians and we will bomb you into submission they may be bombing the city into submission. we don't want to allow resistance behind you, but make it submit and move past and we've seen the same in multiple places, doesn't mean they want to hold melitopol, the flag of ukraine flies over kherson. the russians control it but the

russians are moving past it for their next target. vladimir putin knows, that is the house to house high casualty, spending a lot of resources and playing on the home tour of the ukrainians. he will buy posts those as much as he can to get volodymyr zelenskyy off tv appealing to the world more and more resources could come in. rachel: you have a show called worst-case scenario. representative walt brought up a worst-case scenario, trying to rally his people to fight and go against the russians and is making appearances, announcing where he is going and what could change the game is they take out volodymyr zelenskyy the more he is on

zoom calls come making meetings, you need to stay alive. every time you go on air to senators or the european union, press conference, they could send a cruise missile through the window. george washington kept the revolution alive by staying alive. the safety of volodymyr zelenskyy is critical. will: his decision to stay with critical. vladimir putin probably calculated he would flee and they would be demoralized. at least three attempts to assassinate him. he is target number one. i've got to believe through sophisticated means would help based on technology, no one knows where volodymyr zelenskyy is more than 90 minutes and moving him to different secure locations but it is anyone's guess. joey:human intelligence, spies,

getting the word before it happens through observation and everything out here. and traveling to places like poland, the way the international community is helping is top of human intelligence. and that was 40 years ago. we don't have spies in the information flow, we don't get to make headlines. >> we are up against the clock. are you surprised in the age of information we don't see more images, whether or not journalism embedded in the firefights or ukrainian military or in cities with

iphones we are not seeing the quantity of images. joey:i went to war twice, i didn't stop before i shot back so maybe there's an element that the only people out there, civilians on the corner, but i feel we should be fully inundated -- pete: it's hard to capture in that moment. i don't think at this moment, reporting is sparse, we are not seeing a lot of that at this point. joey:there is heavy fighting like they pushed back the assault was one person with an rpg or a full platoon, we don't know what that means.

rachel: welcome back to "fox and friends". american truckers bring their

own convoy to the nation's capital. the anti-mandate demonstrators taking a page from students traveling to washington dc and expected to arrive this weekend. one of the groups, the people's convoy is making their statement clear saying covid is well in hand and americans need to get back to work in a free and unrestricted manner. lawrence jones, good to see you. we were talking about this, with ukraine's invasion was how has that hurt this convoy? lawrence:the entire world's eyes is on ukraine. even the state of the union didn't get as much coverage as it typically would. the reason it is important is there has been a movement looking at the state of the

union to bypass what happened over the last two years. automatically the science changed overnight. there were no new numbers, and a new data and all of a sudden they feel we should get back to work. the government saying no science to support it. the reason the convoy is important as it let the american people know never to forget what happened, to shut down the schools, they knew the science that was going on and to isolate them and they start it was a huge problem to begin with and how far the kids were behind with it, didn't allow people to pay their rent. we cannot forget that moment. they should be held accountable.

rachel: i'm always telling people this was not normal. the mayor has basically dropped mask mandates for students k-12 but for 5-year-olds and under, the truckers are fighting for, little preschoolers masked and heard, tortured because of this. lawrence:there is another component of this, truck drivers provide for families, they are isolated much of the time. this has become a liberty call. a lot of people have no clue about politics or wants to be involved. it has become a liberty mess.

you will see people get involved with mauritius not just with the covid mandates but looking at politicians in a different way and this is a rallying call, they have the ability to make stops on the way. a lot of americans are working 9 to 5 every day, speaking for the silent majority. rachel: i don't think it is a coincidence it came from truckers. we are grateful to them and we will cover their convoy and you will too. lawrence:a breaking news hour, a lot of stuff happening across the country, live at 10:00 pm eastern. rachel: as russia rains terror on ukraine many are asking how did we get here? will and pete breakdown vladimir putin's power and the policies that enabled this next.

>> president biden: throughout history we have learned this lesson was when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos. they keep moving and the cost keeps rising. pete: president biden's words describe what is happening with russian president vladimir putin. let's breakdown vladimir putin's power moves over the years and how responses from the us and the world contributed to the current crisis was we will go back to 1999. vladimir putin not yet the president of russia, the prime minister has designs on the power he has today. when you look at this map this

is a contested area in russia. 250,000 people between two chechen wars, a preview of what urban warfare could look like. the capital of chechnya destroyed. >> president biden: -- will: they are making their way across a devastating impact, could that come -- pete: the other side of the border, vladimir putin 2008 a decade later, not turning his gaze from the places that are important to him. will: russia roles in and it took place in 2008. the georgian fighter in that

war, i asked tell me about the similarities between 2008 and now. >> i see two parallels between the georgia invasion and the invasion of ukraine, using the hybrid war, we are warning them, with wall security. i hope the world sees what russia is doing. will: hybrid war, economic war, sanitize, whatever vladimir putin needed to do he is willing to do. here is the black sea. on the other portion of russia. pete: the annexation of crimea. i find this most instructive to

what is happening. we talked about the south of ukraine. in 2002, huge oil reserves found in the black sea. they make oil deals, they annexed crimea. what is ukraine's response, no water flows into crimea outside the dnieper river. they shut it down. blow up the dam and get it to crimea. will: if vladimir putin is calculating it, a muted reaction across the board, talks were canceled, we moved f-16s into poland. in 2012 was did barack obama say? there is this view that

vladimir putin didn't have the ambition he has now. will: now let's go to 2015, funding proxy war in essence, a war in syria with bashar al-assad, what is interesting about that is this is where we heard about war crimes, now potential war crimes in ukraine. will: he did not change the dynamic. if you are vladimir putin and bashar al-assad is willing to go all in on behalf of his guy, a lot of people in the west but was defeated and done. as well as russian troops, russian boots on the ground in syria willing to back up bashar al-assad.

pete: it is worth pointing out syria, the black sea, ukraine, crimea, georgia, chechnya. gun will: if he doesn't mind having access to the mediterranean sea. up next ukraine's president tearing into nato for ruling out a no-fly zone. that's next. we gotta tell people that liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need, and we gotta do it fast.

>> translator: is the the nato we wanted? is this the alliance you were building? a green light for further bombing for refusing to make a no-fly zone. i do not know who you can protect and whether you can protect nato countries. will: that was volodymyr zelenskyy slamming nato for rejecting his pleas for a no-fly zone is the west is standing from with anthony blink d blinen saying it could lead to a full-fledged war. you can't fault volodymyr zelenskyy for attempting and wanting a no-fly zone. he is seeing his country being destroyed. what would that entail when

looking through an american lens and our interests? >> exactly right. volodymyr zelenskyy is an inspiring leader, leading from the front, had multiple attempts on his life and holding strong and trying to get every resource to protect his people and his nation. i would like to contextualize when i hear about a no-fly zone it is spoken of as if everyone agrees we should be on the ground, just be in the air. if you want to input a no-fly zone you take out enemy defense artillery on the ground, putting your own defense artillery on the ground, conduct combat search and rescue missions on the ground, coordinate with the ukrainian air force and air defense on the ground so you don't just operating the air and nothing

going on the ground. will: what if those their defenses are in belarus and russia? we would risk american pilots to that enemy fire as well. >> those air defenses are absolutely there. the other thing, war is a battle of the narrative and vladimir putin's narrative is for years nato has been closing in on russia to attack russia, nato says we have no designs, and in mother russia, playing in putin's narrative. will: these images are jarring, and emotion can take a role in this. do you think emotion can

overtake the logic you are talking about? the appeals grow louder and louder. why isn't anyone doing anything about this? the military and others stay firm in understanding you do know a no-fly zone could mean direct intervention with russia which could lead to direct war with russia? >> war is a very emotional activity. people being killed. it is a blunt force instrument. when i hear people talk about surgical strikes, you have never been to war if you think it can be contained was what leaders are responsible for doing in nato and volodymyr zelenskyy is laying out their case and the things we talked about, those policy decisions need to be made before you

implement -- if you want to do something in the air you go through a wargame if i miss was fired from russia. are we going to go after it in russia? don't wait, talk about it ahead of time and be clear what this involves, it brings a sense of reality and clarity when you ask tough questions and expect tough answers. will: the tough answer might be we are at war with russia which is what vladimir putin predicted and we have to show restraint to prevent even if we have an amazing amount of empathy for what the ukrainian people are going through and can support them in other ways. thank you for your expertise and service. rachel has additional headlines. rachel: turning to headlines starting with a fox news alert was north korea launching

will: twitter and facebook banning their media platforms in russia as a stand against the war in ukraine. vladimir putin's account remains active. the hypocrisy. there is plenty of hypocrisy was one of them is the former president of the united states, donald trump, is still banned from social media platforms but vladimir putin has access. >> vladimir putin restricted access to facebook, restricted access to twitter. he band the bbc from reporting. there is a hard philosophical question whether we use the methods of dictators in fighting against dictators. it is a hard question. i say we did not. we should not practice censorship in response to dictatorial regimes because that separates us from them but i acknowledge the hard question.

the funny part is we don't get to that hard question. in the united states, twitter and facebook not exercising censorship with respect to vladimir putin or the taliban but exercising censorship in the name of misinformation, hate speech here at home with the 45th president of the united states does not have access to twitter or facebook today. they are using censorship to weaken us at home without the hard question of whether to use it against dictators abroad. will: it mirrors our production policies as well. hamper or censor or reduce our production and speech at home but let it flow freely. you said you would not employ the same methods as a dictator,

yours is the same as elon musk, starling was told by some governments, not ukraine, to block russian news sources. we will not do so at starling unless held at gunpoint. sorry to be a free-speech absolutist. >> at the end of the day it will take leaders with a spine in the private sector to stand up to dictatorial methods here and abroad. fighting a terrorist and adopt the methods of a terrorist, if you are fighting a dictator and adopt the methods of the dictator you lose what you are fighting to protect and at the top of the list in the united states is our culture of free speech and open debate and we should give a platform to voices around the world, even bad actors in countries who won't do the same in return but the double irony is powerful platforms like twitter,

facebook, working with state actors in the united states to exercise rampant censorship and at home we become the enemy here at home. will: we don't have much time. how do they justify that? let iran speak freely, silence donald trump, that information flow out of russia, silence this information. >> let oil and gas flow out of russia while cutting production at home and we can the united states geopolitically because it uses weapons against itself in this apologist culture in the united states without using that in the service of actual value in fighting autocratic regimes in china, afghanistan, iran, and russia. we are only beginning to rear its head in a small way today. will: great perspective, thank you.

[background sounds] rachel: we start this final hour of "fox & friends" weekend with a fox news alert. russia's military reportedly firing upon the escape route after claiming fighters would cease fire. will: new this hour, 1.4 million ukrainians have now fled their country. president zelenskyy will speak to united states senators later this hour. earlier he addressed the world.

: pete: that was president zelenskyy speaking out and later on today he's going to be talking to u.s. senators about his continued appeal for more american involvement. we're going to talk to benjamin hall who is live on the ground in kyiv to give us the latest. benjamin. >> reporter: yeah, pete, good morning. we are seeing attacks continue around this country today, the death toll continuing to rise. vladimir putin continues to insist he is not targeting civilians. that simply is not the case based on what we've senior. just north/northwest of kyiv is a town that we know the russians have been constantly shelling today and for the last few days, forcing thousands of civilians to flee to the relative safety of the capital. how long it remains safe though, or nobody knows. that is because russian forces are increasing their push towards kyiv as well, and it's believed to be just a matter of time until they take it.

across the country they have been surrounding and besieging other cities too, but despite these russian gains, secretary blinken made it clear there will be no no-fly zone. >> the only way to implement a no-fly zone is to shoot down russian planes, and that could lead to a full-fledged war in europe. we are not going to get into a war with russia. >> reporter: putin's sources continue to bombard civilians. even many mariupol where a piece psi -- ceasefire had been announced. the true pirgs likely to be -- figures likely to be far higher with both sides claiming thousands of opposing soldiers have been killed. president zelenskyy has been tearing into what he calls a weak nato for refusing the no-fly zone. >> translator: is this the nato we wanted? is this the alliance you were building today?

the alliance's leadership gave the green light for further bombing of ukrainians by refusing to make a no-fly zone. i do not know who you can protect and whether you can protect nato countries. >> reporter: ukrainians are doing their very best to fight back, and they have had some success. this remarkable video shows a russian helicopter being shot down. it was posted with the caption welcome to hell. it is giving some people hope, and as a result, we continue to see defiant scenes and hear defind voices. defiant voices. >> they feel they are losing, that's why they are shelling our city, trying to strike fear in our hearts, but that's not going to happen. >> reporter: as you say, president zelenskyy will speak with u.s. senators in the next half hour or so, he will be asking for more support, particularly those javelins and stingers. i think he knows now e won't get that no-fly zone, no sources

will become involved in this war. pete? pete: benjamin, thank you very much for the latest. we appreciate it. all morning long we've been getting more information, and we're trying to get clarity what's really happening on the ground. as we know in a war, paris reports are almost always wrong which is why we're starting at this nuclear site, the largest in europe in the south of ukraine which yesterday we reported buzz struck -- was struck likely by an errant russian rocket or artillery. what was not immediately reported was that the reactors themselves, thankfully, were not hit. it was an administrative building where the fire happened and was later contained. what we do now know is that the russians control this particular site, and ukrainian technicians are in charge of it which means they have complete control on what kind of energy resources ukrainian people affected by that nuclear site have access to. and that's kind of revealed another portion of the fight that we're seeing this morning,

a fight over these nuclear sites. you've got the one that was just mentioned which has been taken over. there's a second site just at the end of this -- if you check this, the approach of the russians, it appears to be going straight to that next nuclear site which is in yellow. if they control these two nuclear sites, they control the power, the lights, the internet, the water for the ukrainian population across huge swaths of ukraine which is an all-front warfare, it's another form of warfare. make the pain, bring pain to the civilian population and make them submit. and that's the way vladimir putin fights. we also talk about mariupol which benjamin hall talked about. they've seen 48 hours of relentless bombing. there was a ceasefire that we were told was happening. the population started to leave that particular town, and then the bombing continueded, so the mayor has said return back to that. strategically for the russians, they're trying to connect

russian mainland to crimea, and can this has appeared to be one of the more effective routes for vladimir putin as he pushes to odesa and potentially consolidates control of the black sea which is strategically significant to him. sometimes you work with the advantages you have, and it appears vladimir putin has seen advantages in the south and is continuing to push those advantages. so we'll push further out on the map, again, we were down south, now this is the entirety of the country. and while russian forces have been, you know, limited in their advances in kharkiv, very limited in their advances in the east because of huge portions of the you to crane military is here, they made advances in the south, and the siege continues up north in kyiv. and leapt me focus, if i may, in a little bit closer to that if i can turn i off that function, we'll move to closer into kyiv. and, guys, capital city, we know where it is. we know where the airports are that have been contested. there are some inside the city center, some outside.

the main airports are still controlled by the ukrainians. vladimir putin wants them. but what's happened is that tank column, famously, that we've talked a lot about is stalled. they have made, though, significant efforts on the east side of the capital to come in in that direction. you're seeing as joey jones pointed out earlier in the program, it's slow, it's bogged down and it's unfortunate, but they're consolidating an a encirclement of kyiv hoping to even bring in further reinforcements from the east and the south. the minute russian troops meet resistance is when they come into populated areas. they fight well in the open areas. and one last thing before i head over to the couch, time works against vladimir putin in a sense here too because benjamin hall has talked about how additional fortifications have gone into kyiv. while the city has not been bombarded the same as others, civilians and the military focused on protecting it from tankings and, frankly, at this point protecting their president

as well who, as we understand, is still in the capital. will: great job from a wide scope and bringing us in tight to what's happening in kyiv. let's go in even tighter now, if we may. let's talk to dan bongino, host of "unfiltered," and a former secret service agent. continuing to sort of zoom in on our scope, dan, i know you're hot on this. you have particular insight on this. all of this conversation about potential assassination attempts on president zelenskyy. you hear those stories come out. what are your thoughts? >> yeah. i mean, it's obviously a concern. it would literally decapitate, you know, the government if zelenskyy was to be taken out. it would be, obviously, again, an enormous morale blow to these valiant ukraine ukrainians who have been fighting back. now, the problem here they have, will, is, learning they're outnumbered by these russian forces. traditional concerns you would have with, say, a secret service

detail on president about saying there's a big few threats you have, a tactical threat, medical emergency, chemical-biological threat, bombs, explosives, ieds and something coming from the air. those things stand out, right? if we're taking, when i was on president bush and president obama's detail up to new york, if you see a tactical team moving around new york city, right, with d bdus on and heavy weapons, they kind of stand out like a sore thumb. see, that's not an issue here in an empty city, it's a war zone. i mean, the soldiers are there, they're walking around. they wouldn't stand out like before. also you have other threats from the area, potential for drone attacks, you have potentials, again, for a medical emergency. i mean, little things you have to think of, right? even a medical emergency with certificate hen sky right now. you know, where's he going to go? what we would do is we would take the president to a level i

trauma center, and that would be, obviously, secured. how do you do that in the middle of an active war zone? these are things that really concern me. i'm going to have a former colleague of mine with specific expertise in special operations teams on my show tonight to address all this. and it does have me concerned. obviously, the immorality of the killing zelenskyy, but secondly, just -- it would just destroy the morale of these ukrainians right now who found a cause in zelenskyy who, you know, bravely stayed behind. rachel: yeah. it's a dangerous situation, and it could change the course of this entire invasion and war. here's michael waltz last night on "hannity" saying, telling him how important it is for zelenskyy to just stay alive. listen. >> president zelenskyy, you need to stay alive at this point. every time he goes on air whether it's with a group of senators tomorrow, the european union, an hour-long press conference, the russians are trying to geolocate him and put

a cruise missile through the window. george washington kept our revolution alive by staying alive, and i hope president zelenskyy at this point now that he has seized the narrative and rallied his people will shift out of kyiv as soon as he can so that, hopefully, the biden administration can get off their rear end and get them the arms and the weapons that they need. rachel: dan, earlier in the show i interviewed a member of parliament in ukraine who said they had a secret meeting of 300 members of their parliament -- >> right. rachel: i just thought what a rich target. at the same time, i was also really impressed. we have members of congress who were afraid to vote for the last two years because of covid, and these guys have clearly a target on their heads, not just zelenskyy, but also the parliament meeting. >> no, you're right. it takes a lot of guts, but guts sometimes, you know, isn't strategic. and it pains me to say that, but

this isn't a comic book, you know? it's not a 1980 action movie. i mean, this is real. we need the ukrainian government to operate, and i want you all to keep in mind the 1984 attempt on margaret thatcher's life in the u.k. in the grand hotel where they had placed an a explosive bomb a long time before she arrived and nearly killed her, i mean, afterwards the irs said, you know, you guys have to be lucky every day. we only have to be lucky once m keep in mind that's what, again, a civilized society not at war, think about the segment you just talked about, about the cruise missile. we can do an airborne picture to protect the president of the united states, but to be candid, nobody's really worried about a cruise missile on the capitol. it's not the kind of thing that triaging your threats is number one. this is the kind of thing in a war zone how do you defend against that? we develop an air picture against the president, you're looking for errant flights, people who violate notice to airmen and things like that. you're not liking -- looking at

a nuclear strike or a cruise missile. it's on your mind, but it's not your first threat. that's the kind of thing zelenskyy has to worry about right now. and again, you want to talk about an escalation of this, what happens then? if our goal here, guys, and i'm glad pete addressed it before, number one for the united states right now, remember, we don't only have to worry about ukraine, we have to worry about the united states too. zelenskyy needs to understand that as well. our goal as a nuclear power, our number one goal in our ire. arthel: key of needs -- hierarchy of needs is staying out of a nuclear war. and anyone who tells you otherwise is insane. it doesn't even benefit the ukrainians for us to escalate this into a potential mano a mano with a nuclear-powered russian government because they'd likely nuke the ukrainians first. i mean, this is the kind of thing we have to be very care. -- careful. some of the talk out there is just unnecessarily escalatory. everybody needs to turn the

temperature down to the best we can if we can. but keep in mind, putin has his finger on the oven, so it's not really our choice. pete: that was my next question. you can honor the courage and the since, prayings -- and the inspiration of zelenskyy and the people there and recognize the horrors of what russia's doing -- >> yea. pete: -- while at the same time saying what is america's interest, and how do we avoid being entangled by getting ourselves too far involved. i mean, what is that line, dan? because he's screaming for a no-fly zone because he wants to protect his country, but that doesn't mean we should do it. >> yeah. and you know what, pete? it's so fascinating, i find that my colleagues in law enforcement and your colleagues but some of my, who had done military time and seen the horrors up close and personal, they get that point that, again, this is not a a superman comic. this is the real world. and you have to ask your -- you

know, i love economics, one of the best questions you can ever can ask a leftist is, okay, and then what? that applies here now too. a no-fly zone is, okay, then what? then we have to enforce it. okay, and then what? we shoot down a russian mig. okay, and then what? we find ourselves in an escalating nuclear conflict. it's not just icbms. they have tactical battlefield nukes too. and what happens if western supply lines coming from a nato country are attacked in nato territory? is article v invokedded? what do we say then? the last time article v was invoked was during 9/11 when those countries invoked it for us. are we going to say no? how does that make us look? are we asking these questions? it's reason no matter how much putin, this main maniac, is trying to turn, you know, the oven up super high, we've gotted

to do our best to cool this thing down and not play into it. you know, i could not agree with you more, the then what question's critical. our only goal is the rule of war, don't go to war unless you absolutely have to, and i'll add rule three, if they have nuclear weapons, never go to war unless you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely have to. and we're, we're just not at that point. and zelenskyy who's been very heroic, he has to understand that. will: absolutely right, dan. something the three of us have been talking about. ray e ray we have. will: this prospect of a potential nuclear war cannot just be hand waved away -- >> no. will: asking questions every step of the way. and those tactical nuke hard weapons, pete and id had this conversation, what if he deploys a tactical nuclear weapon? that's not the kind to blow up cities or hit the united states. what if he uses a tactical nuke inside the borders of ukraine? does that provoke the united

states of america? these are the questions to ask today before we go to war tomorrow. rachel: and i just add one other thing? it's all of the things we're talking about, but i can't help thinking about who's in charge. so if we were to take these steps, i don't have any cfd in biden, i don't have any confidence in his cabinet or his generals who put us through what we went through in afghanistan. all of this brings up so many questions for me, and i think we just really need to cool things down. >> we do. and i think we need to send a message to higher-ups in the russian military -- which, by the way, i'm sure the happening right now. i don't think they need to hear it from me, certainly. you know, our intelligence community's actually done a decent job here. they said there was going to be a russian invasion. a lot of people said, ah, that's not going to happen. the russian ministry of foreign affairs was trolling them on social media with john travolta videos, they were, and then a russian invasion happens. but i'm pretty sure the message is going out in that a chain of

command, whatever it is, he may have said it's just me now, the reality is, as you well know, pete, someone's got to push a button, and it ain't putin. so we have to put the message out, listen, don't do this. whatever have to do, provide you safe haven in a nato country, but if you refuse to do this, disobey that command, you know, we'll take care of you. we have to do something to send that message out there that if you do this, you are going to cause annihilation. we've got to remember these russian soldiers at the highest level have kids too. they have kids, they have wealth, they have property. you say to them, hey, listen, nuclear war, we are doing everything in our power to avoid it, but make no mistake, if you start this, we have to finish it. we have to finish it. it's not bravado, it's not tough talk, it's the hard reality. and if we finish it, your country's going to be a parking lot. that includes your kids, your grandkids, your dog, your house, your car and everything you own. we don't want to do that. it's not a chuck norris movie,

it's the real world. but you will force us to do this if you start launching nuclear strikings. keep in mind we can give you some safe passage. i'm sure that's happening through some kind of intelligence channel, if you know what i mean, now. florida president yeah, and rachel mentioned who's in charge, but kamala harris is headed to europe next week to display strength and unity to our nato allies. >> problem solved, pete. it's all over. just like the border, problem solved. by the time my show areas -- airs tonight, don't worry, it'll all be fixed. glad you said that, i feel better now.

russian forces lay siege to major cities including executives from the more than 100 start-ups with offices in the war-torn nation. our next guest is the ceo and founder of her own vr company working to secure the safe passage of not only her family, but her kyiv-based business team. olga joins us now. welcome to "fox & friends." you're young, you're with under 30 years old, you're a ceo and now all of a sudden you're a ceo in wartime. how is that affecting you, and what is your team doing right now? how are they in terms of their safety? >> right now my team is in kharkiv, in kyiv, in mariupol. all of them are men, so they can't leave ukraine at the moment because of the general mobilization. so even if they get to the west, they won't be able to leave. they're holding up. they are wonderful and very

brave people who are ready to defend our country. at the same time the, we continue to deliver on the projects that we have in the pipeline, and i just applaud their cool heads right now who are still thinking about about their safety and how to run the business. rachel: and your family is also still trapped in ukraine, is that correct? >> yeah, it's correct. my family is next to kyiv, and we are not sure what is the safest way out. they are not fully confident to start traveling by any of the routes because there are reports of civilians being shot as they try to make their way to the safe territories in the west and, obviously, the railway stations are overcrowded, so right now their still in kyiv, and i'm hoping in the next couple of days we'll forget out how to get at least my mom and my grandma out.

rachel: oh, boy. and they're in bomb shirts, is that correct? >> no. right now they have a underground space that they're using as a bomb shelter. i managed to get them out of central kyiv. i think i would go insane knowing that it is being stormed from the north. rachel: are the men who work for your company taking up arms and working with the ukraine, you know, military right now, or are they working for you? >> so some of them, the ones who are based in kharkiv, are taking up arms, and they are joining the volunteer forces. kharkiv is a hot spot right now, mariupol, all the volunteering organizations are oversubscribed. there are no guns, there is no ammunition to protect them from anything. so my 3-d modeler is currently on the mission to make as many molotov cocktails as possible. rachel: unbelievable. >> yeah. and then at the same time, yes,

they are -- they still keep the work when they can, and it's fantastic to see this kind of dedication to the company and to this mission. rachel: absolutely. it's hard to believe. olga, thanks so much for join us. -- joining us. our prayers are with you and your family and those who work for your company as well. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. rachel: still ahead, who really is vladimir putin? >> putin embarked on a pr campaign centered around the perception he was young, strong and a manly man. rachel: manly man. brian kilmeade has been digging into the polarizing president's past, and he joins us next. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long.

pete: back with a fox news alert, a threat from vladimir putin, he says moscow will consider any third party

declaration of a no-fly zone over ukraine a, quote, participation in the armed conflict. rachel: this after ukrainian president zelenskyy slammed nato for refusing to declare a no-fly zone. will: alexandria hoff as zelenskyy is set to address u.s. senators via zoom any minute. >> reporter: good morning. we knew this idea of a no-fly zone would likely be brought up in today's meeting with president zelenskyy. it should be starting right about now. all u.s. senators have been invited to take part in this. the other thing that senators are considering is a larger aid package. congress as a whole right now is considering $10 billion in additional humanitarian aid to ukraine, and that is something that a student there said this morning that they streetly are in need -- desperately are in need of, weapons, protective gear all in short supply. take a listen to this. >> the ukrainian people continue to fight as brave as they are, i think eventually the dam will

break in russia. but i want to say this crystal clear without apology, without equivocation -- >> reporter: so that there was actually senator lindsey graham, unclear if he will be part of that call today. while the no-fly zone does seem to be something that the u.s. and other world leaders are not ready to agree upon, the united states leaders have pledged their support for the fight. and this morning president zelenskyy posted on instagram. he said in the message that he is hoping that all of the refugees, the over one million who have fled across borders into poland and other nations, that there will be a time in the very short-term future that he will be able to say they are ready to come back because it is safe. we do know that vice president harris will be in poland on monday. she is scheduled to speak with troops there. but again on this no-flyish issue, previously the thought was if there were to be a no-fly zone established the concern would be if it was breached, what would nato countries do. and once they got involved in

that point by shooting a plane out of the sky, that could escalate this to a world war iii situation. what president putin said this morning, simply declaring a no-fly zone, he would consider an act of aggression. will: thank you, al sand alexandria with. let's bring in the host of one nation with brian kilmeade. let's get you right in on that breaking news, brian. if we did invoke a no-fly zone, would that provoke a war, if you had to enforce it by shooting down a russian jet, now vladimir putin's saying, don't worry about that, if you declare a no-fly zone, we'll continue you an active participant in this war. >> look, i've heard -- i have not heard a plausible way to do a no-fly zone in this situation. there's not one person who knows military operations and understands the scope of this conflict that a says let's just do it. i get it. and what general perkins told

you earlier is 100% on the money, he's considered a brilliant military mind, and he's doing some private work now. there's a reason why he became a four-star general. people who do this every single day, to get weapons to a bunch of people that know how to fight and want to fight at all levels from the rudimentary with no school to the ones with extreme skill who have been hardened in the battlefield. do you know these guys demanded to fight with us in iraq and afghanistan, pete in i'm sure that's not news to you. what they're saying is i'd like your help, i know it's not going to happen, but could you give us the weapons? we're going to have a story, and i'm not into looking back that much, but why we told everyone this attack was going to happen, how it was going to the happen, and i give them credit for that. but at the same time, why weren't they flying in massive amounts of weapons and supplies that they could have put in that subway system in the capital city that would have supplied tens of thousands of people and allowed them to live a life for

a long period of time under a siege of attack from russian forces, many of which are not in in the full duration. they don't want this conflict. there are professional fighters that want it, and we're going to see some of that and we've seen some of that horrific battlefield footage and accounts, but most of these russian fighters seem ambivalent about a conflict they pretty much know they shouldn't be in. pete: yeah. from not just weapons, and i agree with you, we've had many opportunities to help the ukrainians and did not -- >> for years. pete: for years, but also on energy and our unwillingness to do what is necessary to minimize vladimir putin's leverage in this case. but i want to get to that, because the key question here is what is the going through the mind of vladimir putin. no one can know that, no one knows precisely what his intentions are. you can listen to what he says and history teaches us to listen to what people say about what they intend to do, but you created a special on fox nation called who is vladimir putin.

i want to play a small clip from that and get your latest reaction. >> to inflate his image, putin embarked on a pr campaign centered around the perception he was young, strong and a manly man. >> the horseback riding, deep sea diving, treasure seeking, that person is designed to appeal to that core constituency. pete: it's an amazing piece of work only on fox nation, it's going to air on the channel as well sunday at 10 p.m. brian, in putting that a together, you know, what is in the mind of vladimir putin right now? >> well, put it this way, we have to stop pretending that he is just a guy that wants russia to be successful and he's just russian-centric. the guy is an evil guy but he's not dumb, and he's extremely cunning. we have to stop dealing with him like he's a western leader that got off the rails. this guy is ruthless.

he doesn't understand the outstretched hand, he doesn't understand compromise. he's never been for thed nor is he -- forced nor is he willing to take a backwards step. in georgia? i don't care about sanctions. i'll take two provinces in the donbas region in crimea, doesn't matter to me. knocks on the door of the iraqi embassy and says we're going into syria to help assad, i just want to tell you that. now they're suddenly back in the middle east thanks to president obama doing nothing. there's always been outstretched hands and bad reset buttons. we have to stop dealing with him as if he wants to come to the table. and he does not understand when we come back -- he does understand when we come back and say we're not going to do this, we're not going to do that, he does not take anything off the table including a nuclear attack. we have to get and start acting a little bit more belligerent, a little bit less predictable, and we've got to take this unity that we feel right now and start

coming up with massive strategies of air drops, of convoys to get in to supply these people to fight for their lives because the one thing that is happening is he's beginning to be choked off. i do believe the russian people and the tens of thousands9 and the millions there are feeling it from a-z. but for you to think that vladimir putin cares about anything other than vladimir putin, he doesn't even care about russian history, is to get the wrong profile. that's what's pretty clear to me. rachel: wow. i mean, you don't want to see this backed into a corner though, do you, brian? >> yes, yes. rachel: is there an offramp for him at this point? >> he doesn't want it. what people have to understand is he doesn't want an offramp. he has to suffer losses. he has to be kicked out of power by his own people, i 100% agree with lindsey graham, and we have to set up the scenarios to pressure him to the point where he is ousted. but giving him an offramp that leaves him in power and gives him half of the ukraine and

hopes this doesn't happen again is not something that is for people seeking peace. it's for people seeking a delay of war. this guy's gotta be stopped right here or else three years from now we're going to be sitting here on a saturday saying good-bye, poland, estonia. latvians, we don't even know where that country's located, and is it really that big a deal if half of germany goes back? do you understand what this guy is capable of? when are we going to get that message? it's on fox nation now. we expanded it on saturday, even more elements on sunday. you'll see it and get the backdrop as this nondescript kgb agent and moderately successful judo expert made a deal with yeltsin who drank too much and had a corrupt family to take power, had an economic revival, stayed in power and never plans on leaving power. the only mindset we should have is how to get him out of power by his own people by massive

sanctions. 70% of the sanctions are on him now, go 100%. this weekend bill prouder, who is his number one enemy, is going to be on. david satter who reported from moscow for 40 years, when you talk about energy, vladimir putin's got a massive green campaign to get the west on green energy so he can supply the fossil fuels. it's, that is a devious but ingenious move. rachel: all right. will: we'll be watching, brian. pete: your takeover of the channel is complete, brian. monday through friday, then your show on saturday nights, then a special on sunday nights -- well done. brian: 8 and 11 tonight. and, will, i'll see you later. will: you will? is that confirmed? all right, i didn't get the e-mail.

pete: we're back with a fox news alert, a new one. vladimir putin is now threatening third party nations and other countries against creating a no-fly zone over ukraine as deadly russian attacks continue. will: here's a live look at poland, the border along ukraine where ukrainians are fleeing to

safety. rachel: alex 40 michigan is in poland right now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i am inside this train station just filled with people who have arrived coming here to safety. once they walk in, they're greeted by volunteers who have the language that they speak written on their backs so that anyone can walk up to them. they're given a similar card so they can finally reach out to anyone that they know and ask them for help, where do they go from here. they're given hot food, warm drinks, water, clothing and for kids even toys, anything that they could need to make today even a little bit better, to help the suffering that they have been through, the difficulties that they've seen within the last week, something that 1.2 million people have suffered, forcing all of them to flee ukraine. >> really hard.

we were in kyiv, four days in car. >> reporter: maria is a mother of a four-month-old child, and she made that the journey with her niece, with her mother, with her sister. but when she talks about her husband, it brought her to tears, the reality of having to leave him behind as he fights for ukraine. it's too soon to talk about the pain of what that grief of is like for that family. now back here live, that is the reality that every single person you see here is experiencing and feeling, that just about a week and a half ago life was completely normal. they went to school, they went to work, they saw their family, they saw their loved ones, and now they have no idea if or when they will ever see those places and some of those people. pete: jarring reality. alex, thank you so much. as russian troops close in on

kyiv, a british math teacher and his fiancee and several colleagues were able to excape the -- escape the city using their school's mini bus. but after safely dropping the colleagues off, paul and his fiancee decided to turn around and go help more people. wow. we just showed, probably couldn't see it, but we showed a map of the route that you took. with every passing day, that route gets more precarious, yet you're planning to continue to do it. why? >> well, we're staying here, the bus has gone back now for people who need to get across the border to moldova and romania with, to help the people who are in need in that area. it certainly was tricky getting across the country, lots of checkpoints as you can imagine,

lots of, lots of danger really in terms of the roads and what you're expecting. it needed to be done. we needed to get our colleagues across the border to moldova a, 16 of them altogether. so, yeah, it was very much well worth doing. pete: good for you, making your contribution. as you crisscrossed the countryside of ukraine, what does it look like? talk to me about the fortification or the readiness of ukrainians who just two weeks ago were not carrying rifles, now we hear they are. >> yeah. it's very interesting. obviously, everybody has been armed that can be armed. when you're traveling around and and driving on the roads, even all of the back roads, pretty much every intersection that you come across, every small village everybody is chipping in to dig earth works and make defenses, concrete blocks, tree trunks, sand, whatever you might find that could make some sort of defensive position. it's everywhere, absolutely everywhere. so you can imagine if and when

russian troops, you know, penetrate deeper into the country, there's going to be massive, massive resistance absolutely everywhere. it's, you know, testing something to see. it's absolutely something to see. everybody has picked up a weapon or is kind of making, you know, helping out to make defenses along the way. pete: paul, is the sense one of desperation? is there, is it fortitude? is it some level of optimism that they can hold off the russians in i mean, when you get a sense of talking to ukrainians who are, you know, the red army effectively is staring them down, what's their mental mentality? >> i wouldn't say desperation. i'd say there's definitely a pride in fighting for your homeland: that's something that a i guess, that's an element that the invader doesn't have. so, yeah, there is stoicism in that people are going about their daily lives as best as they can, and for the most part

you'll see -- [inaudible] you start to get signs that thing had beens are, you know, things are starting to bite a bit, stocks are empty, diesel, petrol is starting to get very short supplied. but certainly, i think there's an element in -- of pride in what these people are doing. everybody is determined not to give in and fight until the last. the things i'm seeing -- coming in from all over the place. so, you know, even cities that are under russian control now, even now with that the spirit of the ukrainian people is just amazing to watch. pete: well, they're in our prayers, and we appreciate you sharing your story and the contribution you made. paul hodgeson, thank you so much. >> thank you very much, cheers. will: great interview. president zelenskyy making a

plea for more firepower as his country stands its ground against a massive russian offensive, rejecting the biden administration's quote to evacuate. offer to evacuate. finish our next guest is the ceo of -- and he joins us now. fred, great to have you on the program. first, tell me about your efforts to send, i believe it ie million rounds to ukraine. what inspired you to take step? >> well, first of all, i'm a big second amendment guy, freedom and democracy, and i just believe these people need help m and i reached out to my board of directors. we're a public company, so the outpour of support was unbelievable. will: fred, a couple of logistical questions for you, if

i might. as a gun owner -- >> pardon me? will: as a gun owner, and i think anybody watching that is a gun owner will know, ammunition is in short supply here in the united states of america. there are lines outside most stores on a daily basis to purchase ammunition. i'm curious, was it hard, is it hard for you to produce this amount of ammo and get it overseas? >> no, it wasn't. and we just -- everybody worked hard to get it done, and the ammunition is in europe right now. and we've been working with congresswoman victoria spartz out of indiana, and she's a ukrainian and very sympathetic to the cause. so we're excited about this. and our product is ready to be delivered probably within the next few days. paperwork being put in place,

and it's going to get to the right hands. will: i hear you about the pape aerwork, because shipping ammunition, i believe, internationally has all types of hurdles you have to jump through. i'm curious, how will you get that million rounds to the hands of where it needs to be in ukraine? >> it has to go through the ukrainian minister of defense will receive the ammo from us, and it will cross the border within a few days. will: all right. fred, we appreciate you sharing your story with us. i'm sure the ukrainian people appreciate your contribution of a million rounds of ammunition. >> thank you. one other thing. will: sure. >> we've been outpoured with donations, and we've set up a fund now, care.org. people want to donate money to the ukrainian people, and we've got probably 3,000 donations right now, and i'm talking people are from $25,000, $5,000,
