>> russian separatists controlled the next region of ukraine are describing major lack of food, water and fuel we can see armored russian tanks patrolling the area. welcome to fox news alive i am mike emmanuel para. >> mike is great to be back with you this afternoon. i am gillian turner. meanwhile heavy shelling continues on multiple fronts inside you create including the battered city of kirk eve near the russian border the scale of discretion there on full display in the capitol city of kyiv resident spent another restless
12:01 pm
night they did face periodic shelling. this is where we find benjamin hall, thank you. >> hi that is right this is a city very much on edge. the closer we get to what people believe will be a evasion of the city more people calling out for the international community. it is such a difficult situation because over here people keep talking about a no-fly zone why aren't the u.s. and nato doing more? what else can they do? when you look at from the u.s. perspective we understand you simply cannot have u.s. and russian troops facing off either in the air or on the ground. it is very hard for people over here to understand why more is not being done for they say security guarantees will given to ukraine a long time ago but it's a tricky situation, questionably doing whatever it can. always those questions about doing more. we spoke to very angry and upset national guard soldier earlier on who laid this out quite
12:02 pm
clearly, have a listen. >> i want to say you were president biden, your president trump, your president also obama they are liars. because they have a business. aluminum come to your countries. you are afraid to defeat our skies you are afraid of russia. your nation is a liar. they give you all nuclear power. in our nuclear weapons for your guarantees is nonsense. your supersonic bumble for your guarantees your guarantee is nothing. you give the most passive rockets and where are they? many hundred dead, children, not people, children i don't know where my family is now. you talk about sentient sanctions don't know what it means with bombs.
12:03 pm
you are a not save our lives. and libya, and yugoslavia and sierra your friends are russians that is why you are nothing. you are not superpower country. excuse me but it is true. >> yes i wanted to play that today we spoke to that man earlier that is very much the sentiment over here. the west is helping their grateful for everything the u.s. is doing, but more needs to be done. the big question is sanctions, first of all we hear the president zelenskyy sinks sanctions will put in place early enough to when they were they have not deterred president putin at this point yes the sanctions will take hold at some point and they will be crippling for the russian economy. but it has not deterred him he continues to push forward. now the big issue about no-fly zone is clear of the u.s. and nato have written that off of the other issue being discussed
12:04 pm
right now is providing planes from poland to the ukrainian air force can fight themselves. these would be biggest, russian made biggs the ukrainians could use a been trained on by the sticky point of this they want to backfill its planes of the u.s. is looking at ways to get that to them so they can pass on. there's a lot of anger there seeing their cities bomb their children killed they don't understand by morse not been done. it's a very, very complex situation. it's your seeing a very different angle president zelensky spoken about publicly he understands why is not sending troops inside ukraine. mentor 70 talk to ukrainian civilians over there how they feel about that. do they understand why the u.s.
12:05 pm
is not sending boots on the ground? is that something they would like to see? >> yes. everyone says you cannot give enough support to us right now. they refer back to the guarantee the security guarantee that after the fall of the soviet unions the ukrainians gave up their nuclear weapons are strategic bombers and other weapons programs in exchange for security guarantees and the u.s. they think that meant the u.s. is come to their aid no matter what. the politicians understand the u.s. is not going to come up a boots on the ground everyone understands the potential for nuclear conflict a clash between the world's two greatest nuclear powers. look they understand the predicament but you cannot blame them for wanting more, wanting more help. they've seen the sanctions being toothless sanctions that have never stopped putin in the past so why would they work now? also the big question about why russian gas and energy has not
12:06 pm
yet been sanctioned yes the uss english and by any but they're still hundreds of millions flowing into russian coffers right now. that i think is the next step for the administration is looking at. gillian: 's at like 10% of our imports are coming from russian that's according to jen psaki on friday. >> allow people asking here in over there how does this all end? putin does not have the forces to hold such a long large country long term or the resources with the sanctions. so is he just breaking it to basically make a point? or what is his in game? >> it is the biggest question here. everyone agrees that an occupation of ukraine is not possible. you simply cannot take over the city's and hope to hold in for a long time ukrainians have overflown russian backed government twice in the last decade they will surely do so again. experts say you need half a million russian troops in the country permanently if you try to occupy it. putin will have learned from expenses in afghanistan both the
12:07 pm
russian experience in the u.s. experience recently occupation is a sure fire way to eventually lose a war as death tolls continue to rise among soldiers that will turn public opinion against him at home. as will sanctions. no occupation clearly is not the endgame. unless he is really a different putin today so what is the endgame question because at finding himself in a position he can negotiate a settlement? is it to destabilize a country to the point you destroyed it can never possibly become a western ally and it is a failsafe? we just don't know but that's what you have to understand to be try to understand what his game is and how you can counter brickwork's heart breaking. benjamin hall doing a phenomenal job on the ground there kyiv been wood back to you soon. ukraine airport has been deported by an onslaught of russian missiles as more than a million ukrainians have fled their homeland to escape the escalating violence and russian forces for the load latest on the group ukraine for fox team coverts with alex hogan at the border in poland and jennifer
12:08 pm
griffin at the pentagon let's start off with mike tobin on the ground in lviv ukraine, hello mike. >> yes i want to start off by showing some of the reality of war this in the town of irpin. one moment they're going about their task the next moment incoming fire. [background noises] [inaudible] [background noises] the airport was also taken out today it is about 180 miles southwest of lviv foreign minister said eight russian cruise missiles hit the airport its civilian and military airport president volodymyr zelensky said the airport was destroyed. we returned to his usual request now that he wants the west or nato to step up and implement a
12:09 pm
no-fly zone over ukraine. he also tweeted a picture of what he said was 1000-pound or 500-kilogram bomb that was dropped in turn akiva at an apartment building there he also use that to supplement an argument that need to implement no-fly zone over ukraine. these civilians in mariupol are all in for another long cold, hungry nights. a second attempt at humanitarian cease-fires to get them out fell apart as quickly as it went into effect in buses to call the people out of the fighting are on standby at zaporizhzhia's. try to get the cease-fires into effect and make them happen are for both the russian and ukrainian side they're scheduled to meet again tomorrow, mike neglects it seem so vicious to say civilians yes, safe passage this way and then start shooting at them, right?
12:10 pm
>> that is what happened twice daily civilians were supposed to get up and get moving parade they gave a little time to see if the cease-fire would go into effect. but really before they could get moving the artillery fire starts up again. >> mike tobin doing a phenomenal job in lviv thank you very much, jillian paid. >> that may constitute a war crime we will have to see. putin's bombardment of ukraine calls for lawmakers here at home for nato forces a stand up in a no-fly zone for the top military brass say there's no way to do that without inviting direct military conflict between u.s. and russian forces. this is a third round of negotiation between russia and ukraine are set to begin tomorrow jennifer griffin joined us from the pentagon with the breakdown. >> hi gillian, on that belarus we spoke exclusively to one of ukraine's main negotiators
12:11 pm
summit region has held since 2008. this photo of him went viral because he chose to wear all black and a baseball cap to the first negotiation as a protest will they attempted to negotiate with the russians in their coats and ties as they read from a prepared script. >> it is just to demonstrate the process will prefer to skip and just say honestly to our people this process is not workable and just go back and provide assistance to our soldiers. >> after president zelensky appeal directly to u.s. lawmakers on saturday, the state department are now actively discussing how to help poland provide ukraine with their mig fighter jets ukraine pirates arty know how to flight. >> that looking at airplanes that poland may provide to ukraine. and looking at how we might be
12:12 pm
able to backfill. i can't speak to a time that i can tell you were looking at it very, very actively brickwork's originally poland one of u.s. to provide it with replacements it can retrofit those from some of the 13 u.s. fighter squadrons are asking for 40000 nato troops there telling why the west needs to stop hooch and now. focus right now what do we do to stop him? unfortunately every large war starts locally. >> nato needs to establish a no-fly zone over all of ukraine over 230 square miles. nato warplanes will not stop a ballistic or cruise the initial launch from belarus or russia without expanding the conflicts. then there is the issue of nato
12:13 pm
warplanes been shut down u.s. air force fighter pilot colonel scott o'grady was shot down and forcing eight nato no-fly zone over bosnia in 1995. he had to hide to avoid capture for a week in u.s. marines eventually had to be sent in to rescue him. the only no-fly zone the u.s. discussing as a possible no-fly zone over humanitarian core doors if they could be established by the international red cross. but so far putin has not honored any agreement so far but humanitarian corridors of mike and ben has shown too. >> is there any way that military brass over at the pentagon could try to institute a humanitarian no-fly zone that you talked about without risking direct military confrontation between the u.s. and russia? is that viewed as any less of a risky alternative? >> right now, no. there are some active diplomatic discussions about how that could
12:14 pm
work. but again, it would require an agreement from the russians, russians honoring that agreement both on the ground and in moscow, then also the icrc the international red cross setting up those humanitarian corridors. all of that is going to take time. but i cannot see u.s. a warplanes flying over ukraine the confliction zone but with the various russian warplanes you cranium warplanes flying it is a pretty chaotic environment. i have not heard of any serious plans here at the pentagon to set up such a quarter but i do know the diplomats are trying to explore such an option for. >> alright jennifer griffin griffin at the pentagon thanks so much. >> more than ukraine refugees fleeing the country's russian forces shout major ukrainian cities with many of them flowing across poland's a border in search of safety. alex hogan is alive in poland
12:15 pm
with more details hello alex. >> hi mike this is poland where a makeshift refugee center has been made inside of a massive warehouse. people are bumped in and when they find out somewhere where they can go they bus dicey people are holding up their children think i want to get on this bus. there are no tickets at all for sale part every seat is free it is all hands on deck trying to get these people anywhere to safety from here many of these buses will go to the train station. those trains will also be open and free for anyone who needs refuge to be sent anywhere across the country or across the continent. the eu has opened up for all of these ukraine refugees to be able to live and work for the next three years.
12:16 pm
that is regardless of the fact ukraine is not a member of the eu. but right now all efforts in mind to save these people this baby we are seeing right now being brought onto the bus it is just remarkable the volunteers we have seen here all day long these same men and women who have been working passing babies onto the bus, passing their luggage summit did not even have time to pass luggage when they were in ukraine they just stuffed clothing into plastic bags, grabbed their pets and escape the country. it was not an easy journey. many of them traveled for days on end. the un says right now to travel within 24 hours you are only getting about 60 kilometers. that is just 37 miles in one day of driving. and on trains it is not much better either. a lot of these people here tell me they were on trains from cities not far from here and it still took them about 22 hours people were sleeping on those trains many of the people in the
12:17 pm
building behind me are sleeping on cots curled up together some even sitting on the floor but at least they finally are inside it. it is a cold night and at least they are they have food, they are safe in their warm at the reality they have no clue when and if they will be able to go back to her home country of ukraine, micro. >> alec hogan bring us very compelling images from there in poland, alex thank you very much, gillian pickwick secretary of state entity blinken said they will send fighter jets is gotten the green light from the biden administration. traveling with the secretary traveling joined us from lithuania with the details. >> hey good afternoon jill again for the secretaries acknowledging for the first time publicly the administration is working with the ukrainians here. the idea is that ukraine would take some polish mega jets they know how to fly those.
12:18 pm
and then the u.s. would bolster the polish defenses with some american fighter jets. remember nobody is giving up fighter jets around this time. there's a lot of anxiety in this region for the baltic states right now this is lithuania secretary of state has just arrived here he will go to all three baltic states including latvia and. these are countries that have been concerned about a russian invasion essentially since a re- inception in the early 1990s. earlier today there has been a part of this trip earlier to the secretary going to mulled over trade while he was there also talked to the mulled of it leadership about some more discussion about their concerns about a russian invasion in mulled of it is not even a part of nato like the baltic states are. >> you've seen the response we have helped immobilized about around the world to russians aggression against ukraine. whenever and wherever that aggression might appear.
12:19 pm
we will do the same thing. mulled over is concerned about refugees overstressed caring for people leaving ukraine. so is poland he was helping them they have fewer than 3 million people said that toasting more than 120,000 refugees from the war that is barely a week and a half old. now, blinken also said today the united states is examining claims of war crimes in ukraine. >> we have seen very credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians which would constitute a war crime. we have seen very credible reports about the use of certain weapons and what we are doing right now is documenting all of this, putting it all together. mix a blanket also acknowledge united states is looking into potential oil pan against russia
12:20 pm
working with the european union on that one. part of the problem with that would be if you take russian oil off the market that could lead to price spikes across the world come across the united states they would have to find another way or another place to get that energy on the world market or domestically, gillian, mike and back to for. >> thanks so much. cyber authorities are bringing alarm bells about the threat of russian cyber attacks targeting americans for this comes after russian intel targets american pharmaceuticals. will bring you the details after the break.

>> new video now for the crisis in ukraine. ukrainian refugees describe what it is like to be bombarded by russian forces. alexis mcadams is tracking it all hello alexis we. >> hard to put into words these going through on social media there now being shelled at this point. attacked by russian troops ukrainians done with showing every single day their neighborhood now turned into a battlefield but one woman said she barely escaped from her village which is being bound what others say they have no supplies list a trend left,
12:25 pm
listen. >> there is no electricity or gas, nothing. we live we do not have anything. our daughter is she is in her own we are trying there's no communication. how can we go to find out where she is? they say there's bombings thereto. >> you can hear the people there somewhere able to make it out of their villages. this is a look at the village one of the women we heard from live to see the armored tanks rolling your new you ukraine region. it's been under attack for russian troops for days for the show and getting worse by the hour there. ukrainian members of parliament say today gas pipeline in southern ukraine wasn't damaged by the russians that means more than seven or 50000 people are not left without any heat while it is a dangerously cold outside but you can see that video as it continues people are worried this will turn into a
12:26 pm
humanitarian disaster. over in western ukraine firefighters there continue to search through rubble as they battle a fire at the airport there. ukrainian officials tells more than half a dozen missiles were fired right into that airport. there are no regular scheduled services at that airport it just shows you the russian troops are taking out critical infrastructure every time they can pretty gradient president zelenskyy said in a video state the missile strike has completely destroyed that airports were here again in the newsroom were developing and watching us develop it's on the ground as ukrainian president has continued to urge the west to send more aircraft spurred eyewitnesses tell us three people including a child were killed today during the shelling which is a town right near kyiv. >> alexis mcadams the new york newsroom thank you a president by the spring the weekend at his home in delaware here in washington lawmakers are pressuring to band russian oil in points after ukrainian zelenskyy passionate plea for more aid from the u.s.
12:27 pm
alex hoff joins us from wilmington, hi alex. >> height gillian that was an impactful zoom session. on that call president zelenskyy called credit card companies to suspend their services to russia just hours later visa mastercard obliged and american express has done so too. this call to cut off russian oil, that process has been a bit more tedious. today sitter chris murphy wait on fox news sunday. >> russian imports into the united states are relatively eager if united states did this together with europe, that would have a significant impact. a lot of people what president biden to rush out economic sanctions on russia without europe. he was right to wait and do it together with europe. >> deputy secretary of state blinken said the u.s. is active talks with banning a russian oil bipartisan legislation been pushed to do just that. according to the white house russian oil and gas makes up
12:28 pm
about 10% of total u.s. energy imports. the concern has been securing an alternative source to make up for that without pushing fuel costs higher. republicans have largely pointed back to the keystone xl pipeline that was suspended by president biden last year. they think the resource that could have supported energy needs during a time like this. >> i recognize we are in a difficult position. but his choices the administrations choices when he first came into office and put us in this tenuous position with energy independence in the united states. instead of being an exporter of energy we became a consumer of a russian oil. >> last night president biden spoke with president zelenskyy by phone for more than half an hour. their discussions included the additional aid that will be sent economically in humanitarian as well for. >> alex hoff for us this afternoon thank you. so an interview with ukrainian

12:34 pm
people and try to get away with it. but at the moment, he's betting all he can that he can get away with it. show him that he cannot. help us everywhere that you can especially in terms of closing in the skies. we try to prove he cannot destroy a big estate in europe without consequence. >> the youngest mp in ukraine's history. it's that sense of defiance we saw from him that is so important in this battle. it comes from the very top down. you look at what it i cut it president zelenskyy has companies galvanize people to stay and defend the country purdue cannot help but think about the leader of afghanistan he ran so quickly and possibly open the door to a taliban takeover. that will not happen here. see their leaders take up arms, fight back and be willing to pull the country together is such an important part of the ukrainian resistance right now. it is truly inspiring to see. the truth is a good leader, leads from the front. that as we are seeing here that's why the reason people
12:35 pm
have hope. as long as there are american weapons coming in this country can really perhaps hold back some russian advances. gillian: putin has had a series of missteps during the first ten days of the war. you could argue is the biggest mistake so far as underestimating the will of the ukrainian people to take this on. benjamin halt thanks so much will check back with you in a moment. cyber experts are warning of escorting threats now from russian cyber attacks appeared here to tell us what to be on the lookout for his former state department senior advisor, he's also sent one chief security advisor, morgan right. so far we've seen these large-scale russian cyber attacks targeting ukraine, government infrastructure. already seen the smaller scale attacks we learned friday they sent russian intel sent a series of phishing attacks targeting american pharmaceutical execs. what is more worrisome to you? >> there will be a lot of low-level attacks i call those ankle biters for like harassing attacks.
12:36 pm
they are still trying to get information out of us, penetrate our infrastructure. my biggest worry but without the takeover of the nuclear power plant as you want to bring a nation to its knees requested to thanks power and water. so i'm very concerned putin is not when these people you can put into an icicle box and understand what he's going to do next. he may decide sanctions on active or pretty may decide now i just heard standing jet fighters through poland that may be enough to ask lights and were going to start taking on higher value targets it. that to me as a power, water, food, things like that in banking till you want create chaos cluster banking. gillian: so there is the social media blackout that is another component of the cyber picture here. but the ukrainian people and russian speakers in russian inside ukraine are fine these ingenious ways to work around the blackout too. we saw people communicate their whereabouts through google maps. take a look at this this is president obama former ambassador to russia he tweeted
12:37 pm
out yesterday, russian speakers who are against putin's war are posting on the interview pages of russian restaurants inside russia, flood these pages with the truth. another example of great maneuverability but how long can they keep this up i guess is my question before the government start shutting down these photos app by app. >> rush is not china they do not have the same great firewall. they don't have the same monitoring infrastructure. here is the danger if he takes everything down they also affect their ability to communicate spread they also affect their ability to get information out for their offices shutting down a lot of independent news organizations fertility left with? state propaganda. if you start shutting everything down, he's got this balancing act too. i love the creativity is a slight other gulp 200 rf.com where ukraine is doing their own version of psychological warfare. there posting pictures of for. i was for russian families to go see if this is one of my loved ones? you've got all these things,
12:38 pm
look this is a war unlike anything we have ever had. in world war ii you could not go after bank you could go after supply lines like the north atlantic this is completely different war to war intern in trenton what elon musk assumed the startling terminals giving people access to this information. but as with the russian population need they need access to unfiltered information. gillian: when it comes unfiltered information prop snow but is doing a better job of communicating that ukraine's rail then president zelenskyy. he has been speaking out on platforms including instagram, pretty much on a daily basis now part also making direct pleas to u.s. members of congress through zoom yesterday learned from some intelligence sources late last week that there are serious concerns about zelenskyy's traceability because he is online during this crisis. are you worried about is traceability? is the trade-off kind of communicating in this wonderful way with ukrainian people worth it would you say?
12:39 pm
knowing what the risks are? >> i think he knows what the risks are i'm pretty sure is getting assistance from u.s. intelligence from some other very well-placed sources including they got the neighbors cyber security center there i think they're lending them some capability. his biggest thing is eight moving a target is harder to hit if it keeps moving does not have predictability. but with the startling terminals russia has great capability to identify radar admissions originate from where the signals are going but some of these things could be targeted. i think with him, as long as he stays on the movie songs keeps mixing it up he'll have satellite communications of vpn, you have cellular data, meant to switch out your phone all the time. he is doing what spies do. you make it hard to trace him. gillian: we've got to leave it there i could talk to you all afternoon though thanks so much. heavy shelling is continuing to better major cities will play where the russian forces are advancing on the other side of the break.

12:44 pm
for a deeper dive into the situation on ukraine senior fellow for defense parties and retired lieutenant colonel and that u.s. army, daniel davis, colonel welcome brickwork thanks for having me. mike: this a lot of fireworks here on the screen when you see is the parties now? >> we are starting to see really take shape as russia's focus not so much on capturing the cities as they are and destroying ukraine ability to defend themselves. that is why you have not seen them taking kharkiv for example they've not gone after that yet other than lots of shelling. mariupol is surrounded it is under heavy shelling but they are not investing with lots of people. and the same thing i expect that did happen in kherson and probably mykolaiv the next town over that leaves right to potentially odesa they can literally cut off the entire sea of azov and black seacoast it
12:45 pm
cuts them off from getting anything from the south. once he does that it's possible to take this access and go to kyiv go to helping kharkiv from the back or they'll eventually go on to kyiv it. let's clean up our mess and go to the bottom line huge amount of focus on ukrainian capitol, right? also the seaports as well to make sure he can cut off the black sea that is a huge strategic advantage for his forces but otherwise we've seen a focus on energy the nuclear plant in the cold fire power plants explained that sir. >> the one zaporizhzhia that was attacked a couple days ago was 25% of all the electric generation from the entire country. there is another one just a little bit to the west of that. it's now in the sight of the russian troops are moving towards that. those are the 33% if you add in the coal plants which are more
12:46 pm
in the area, that's another 30%. so 84% of all of their electricity for the entire country are in coal and those powered generations. if he takes those he can literally cripple the country it makes it so hard to defend. if they do not have the ability to power electricity, to recharge your batteries, to have phone calls it makes it much more difficult for the defenders. >> needless to say cold weather pretty cut off power it is a miserable time for the people who have stayed behind too. >> that it's exactly right for all the different people. it makes it so much harder for them. mike: obviously there's talk about creating humanitarian core doors. let people go out. but we've also heard the russian forces have not honored that. >> coming out of mariupol there is a quarter here but look for russia's perspective they get a lot of civilians out of mariupol that make it much more of a military target they do not have
12:47 pm
to worry about collateral damage. but then they apparently change their mind and shut it back off it. that is happened twice now. and it shows you the brutality of forts were the horrible aspects of this. mike: sound like building frustration along the ukrainians they love a no-fly zone from the ninth eighth and nato. i was to the concern for the u.s. and nato's not getting drawn into a shooting war with russia, right? >> that is the absolute must be the overriding concern for the united states right now is to keep this contained within ukraine. as bad as it is because if we let our hearts get to us too much, we let some these aircraft come in from poland, we think about doing a no-fly end zone that could draw us into the world won't just be ukraine suffering could be you are up in the protection early the united states and god forbid a nuclear strike. arthel: to push for poland to give the mags in the u.s. replenish poland sounds like a smart one. >> just flying planes is not going to really help. you have to be trained for these
12:48 pm
kinds of things. actually getting in the air is the problem there's lots of fighters in ukraine still operational according to their government. the issue is not the number of platforms that the ability to get them in the air and to train people on them. but putin today added he said if any fighters take off from polish territory or anywhere else and they attack russian forces he said he will consider them belligerent. that itself could spread the war. so again something to be very, very cautious about. mike: colonel thank you for your service to the country and your analysis today brickwork think of a much my pleasure. mike: appreciated sir by the largest mass migration seen in decades more than a million ukrainians have fully the country where they are fighting assistance, that is next.
12:52 pm
gillian: more than one half million refugees have fled ukrainian just in the last few days. that number could climb to the 5 million over weeks or months organizations of the u.s. are stepping up to support ukrainians along their journey and once they reach safety and other countries. for more on how americans can get directly involved to support you created refugees we bring in the present of united help ukraine. marina, thanks so much for
12:53 pm
taking time for us today. you've done an extraordinary job so far raising more than $4 million as i understand it since the crisis are wrapped up a. >> that is you for having me here. or small organization were based in washington d.c. area, group 4 million larger pretty much overnight. in the past week we have received outpouring support of american communities, global communities as well. it is a daunting task to make sure the money goes directly to support ukrainians in need. our initiatives focus on supplying medicine, life saving medical equipment to front lines. we supply hospitals with needed equipment and supplies as well. we also are a second initiative is to help refugees find shelter, transport, food and evacuate from the areas where we
12:54 pm
