arthel: new evidence russia is escalating its brutal attacks on civilians in ukraine. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations] arthel: this russian strike taking place in the town of irpin about 20 miles north of kyiv for the second day in a row. russia has been accused of violating a ceasefire deal that was meant to help civilians leave safely. welcome to a brand new hour of "fox news live," i'm arthel

neville. eric: thank you for joining us, i'm eric shawn. vladimir so eleven -- president zelenskyy saying cities and towns across his country are being reduced to rubble. photos of dead ukrainian families with their luggage shocked the civilized world as vladimir putin violates humanity. fox news has a team of correspondents across eastern europe covering the latest developments. benjamin hall is live in the capital of kyiv. benjamin? >> reporter: yeah, hi, eric. today vladimir putin insisted his campaign would not end until kyiv stopped fighting. meantime, the death toll enkeeps rising n. a town about 15 miles north e west of the capital fierce fighting continues today and heavy shelling as well as

armed clashes forced civilians to take cover. soldiers and knell residents helped the elderly to hurry out of the town with frightened people. meanwhile, in mariupol efforts to evacuate 200,000 from the heavily bomb barreledded city fell apart for -- bombarded city. the humanitarian corridor was fired upon. buses waited to go in, but the red cross said it was simply do dangerous. -- too dangerous. more than six days of near constant shelling by encircling russian forces has cut off food, water, power and heating supplies. it is one of the cities that is i that is being hit hardest. meanwhile, as russian tanks push forward, putin demanded that ukraine end the fighting in a phone call with turkish president erdogan who appealed for a ceasefire. pilot putin told erdogan he was ready for a dialogue but said any attempt to draw out

negotiation would fail. putin held almost two hours of talks with friend. marrone. some debate about how planes could be backed by the u.s., but that's something ukraine desperate for. they want any and and all help they can get. eric: president zelenskyy has been begging nato and our allies to provide a no-fly zone. the west, of course, and nato says there are fears that that would cause a wider war. what is the sense there on that possibility and the fact that these polish gents, maybe mig 29s from armenia, may be able to join the fight, about 70 available for. >> reporter: every civilian doesn't understand why the u.s. isn't doing more, why there isn't a no-fly zone, why they aren't sending jets and more military support. the government understands the complications, they understand and have said they know why the

u.s. doesn't want to do that, that u.s. troops facing up against russian troops or u.s. jets facing off against russian jets simply isn't feasible. merv theless, they are welcoming all the support they're getting, and they just say hay need more: the ukrainians have been successful at holding back the tanks and the atcs with javelins, and they've been bringing down a number of helicopters and gents with the stingers. but two things are going to happen, those javelin ares will run out, and the russian air force is going to fly higher than it has been using bombs which are not targeted so they can avoid the stingers. more human catastrophe, more civilian deaths. right now the u.s. is doing one thing, nato is doing one thing, expect russia shah to adapt as well. eric? eric: and, benjamin, we are all seen, the world has seen the heroic resolve of the ukrainian people. give our viewers a sense of the people you've met, how they feel

and whether their steadfast resolve will flag. >> reporter: it certainly won't. they say this is our country, we're fighting for our families and for our homes. and they say we have overthrown two russian governments in the last dad. we've done this before, we will certainly do it again with or without help. and they always point to this occupation idea that, yes, russia might be able to move in with troops, but they will stay here. there are 40 plus million of them, and there's no way russia can hold and occupy this country. it is remarkable to see the bravery of people here. farmers, teachers butchers, everyone picking up arms, sending their families, tragically, to safety and turning around. we saw these scene ises at the train station today, dozens of men standing out, waving the trains off as they turned to stay and fight. and fight, they will. and all they ask for is more support. eric? eric: every granny with a gun is

going to be pointing a rifle out the window picking off those russian troops if putin doesn't stop. benjamin hall live in kyiv, thank you. arthel: with russia now laying siege from the knot -- north, east and south, more ukrainians are fleeing to the western city of lviv where sale ises people, tech specialists, chefs and even athletes are signing up to fight putin's forces. mike tobin is in lviv with more on russia's attacks on civilian targets. mike? >> reporter: and this target was both civilian and military, but ukrainian officials say that an airport in the middle of the country was taken out by russian cruise missiles. information coming from the foreign minister. he says that eight russian cruise missiles took out the

vinnystia airport. the airport p is destroyed altogether, and he used this strike to fuel his argument that nato needs to create a no-fly zone over ukraine. he also tweeted a picture he says shows an unexploited 50 kilogram bomb -- 500 kilogram bomb northeast of kyiv. he used it as an example of disregard for civilian casualties in this warfare. civilians in mare if pole are in for another -- mariupol are in for another rough night many. a second ceasefire allowing them to escape fell apart with new artillery fire from the russians. civilians in that town have been without water and power for days. a ceasefire negotiators who have met twice now are scheduled to meet for a third time with another attempt at building a ceasefire, also an attempt to try to put safe zones around the nuclear facilities. arthel? arthel: mike tobin, it is, what, 11:07 there, and the curfew, i

believe, is under effect now. i think it starts at 10, or is it mid night? because i do see some activity -- >> reporter: 10:00. arthel: okay. so mostly people are inside. >> reporter: you hear a little bit of activity, yeah. some stragglers. arthel: yeah. all right. mike tobin live in lviv, thanks, mike. eric. merck. eric: the united nations says more than one and a half million ukrainians, mostly women and children, have so far fled the country. hungary, romania and slovakia are welcoming people with open arms, but most are making their way to poland. nearly 40,000 ukrainians crossed over the border for poland just today. that's where alex hogan is live near the border at a refugee processing center throughout the day meeting and seeing many of these families. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, eric. we are nearing the one million mark of the number of ukrainians

who have now arrived here in poland. we are just seeing bus after bus arriving here right now. these are people who have crossed the border, they are arriving here at this refugee center, and they will stay here until they figure out where they go next. families like this one, all they brought the bags you see there, their dog, their baby's in their arms. it's a stressful situation, it's an emotional situation. a lot of the people we're seeing right now are exhausted. they have been traveling for days on end. this is not an easy journey by any means. we talked with one woman who explained just how long and just how difficult it was for her to get here. take a listen. >> translator: i took all four kids. all roads were closed. we had to go through fields. we got on a crowded train for lviv. the train took 22 hours. people were lying on the floor. >> reporter: and many of these children arriving here, they

have their little backpacks as well. this child here has a small bag and her doll, all that she brought with her. we are seeing these stories preeted time and time again. -- repeated time and time again. it is difficult to imagine the atrocities and the trauma that every single person that you see has experienced in the last 10 days. and how their lives have changed since then. ability a week and a half -- about a week and a half ago they were live anything their homes, and now every single person here is displaced. how long that will last, it's too soon to know. and the reality of how these children will you up and what baggage they will carry with them, only time are tell. eric? eric: alex, it just is astounding that they're going through this. who's feeding them in we see some folks with signs. do these people know where they're going? are they accepting any help? how do they get to a location

they will at least temporarily call home? >> reporter: eric, yes, there are food trucks here, people who have come in from all over to feed these people and make sure they're having an unbelievably terrible week, at least they have something warm and something good to eat. all of the people inside have cots, and people are lined up next to strangers. people who don't even speak the same language, they've never met, but they already have so much in common of things that they have gone through within the last week and a half. all of these people initially only knew that they needed to get out of ukraine. and from here they have arrived in poland. they can stay here in this refugee center as long as they need. they are take buses and trains to other places if they have relatives or loved ones in other international countries who are willing to host them. that's what we're seeing every 10, 15 minutes, another bus shuttling those people away. and there are no tickets to get

on those buses. it is simply people raising their hands, pushing to get through. and often what we're seeing, it is mothers carrying small babies and children who are let on those buses first. whatever they can do to get those children off of the road, onto a bus, that is the priority right now. eric? eric: a reminder of humanity amid vladimir putin's despicable evil. alex, thank you. artheling? arthel: well, eric, russia's invasion is accelerating as vladimir putin tries to cut off ukraine's access to the black sea. president zelenskyy warning the russians may soon attack the major port city of odesa. if you can look, you see it there at the bottom left of the map we're showing right now. president zelenskyy saying an attack on that city would amount to, quote, a historic war crime. let's bring in retired major

general picard, the author of "hunting the caliphate." general petard, first of all, if we could get your assessment of how putin's forces are performing and how does this bode for ukraine, specifically odesa and kyiv? >> good afternoon, arthel. so far, as has been reported, the russian forces started off slow, certainly awkward and undisciplined. and hay did not reach their, the objectives that they initially intended to reach in a timely manner. so now many they're resorting to brute force, to shelling, to bombing cities and civilian areas so that they can attempt to reach their objectives. and it looks like they will probably reach those military objectives over time. just through sheer brute force. but they do not have enough

troops to be able to control those areas. the areas that they have already taken, they're going to have difficulty holding them because they have to leave troops there. the further if russian forces go into ukraine, the more vulnerable they'll be. arthel: and in kosovo you commanded a multi-national brigade which included ukrainian troops, is so you saw them in action. how did they perform? >> yes. in fact, in that multi-national brigade that i commanded included a russian battalion. the russian troops were tough, but the ukrainian troops, said say -- i would say they were fierce and disciplined. the ukrainians are going to fight for their country, so whatever president putin was thinking in invading, he got bad information because ukrainians are going to fight for their country. not only the military, but the citizens are going to fight for their country. they have the will to fight. arthel: and i want to right now

pulmoa map. we have an animated map that shows the time lapse of russia's invasion with putin's forces advancing from the south, the east and the north. while we look at this map, general, i understand it is your position that a putin is not so concerned about ukraine joining nato, but ukraine's independence and democracy. how does that threaten boot -- putin? >> it does threaten putin in that, you know, ukraine has developed this democracy over time. it's slow, it's awkward in many ways also, but it is a democracy that has emerged. and over the last 30 years of its independence from the old soviet union rain russia, it has developed its own national identity. and that's clear. and putin hears that. i mean, these are russian speakers and ukrainian speakers who have a democracy. but that could also happen in russia.

but, you know, there's a number of things i think that we can do, that we can do differently right now that could raise the stakes. massive shipments of military equipment including the fighter aircraft, the mig 29s or su-27s that president certificate eleven ask sky has asked for. we can also provide more intelligence to the ukrainian forces using the entire u.s. and nato intelligence infrastructure. we must be relentless in our diplomatic, informational and economic sanctions to include cutting off the oil sanctions or including the oil exports. and there's other things that we can do like an humanitarian assistance zone, and i can talk more about that. arthel: well, i have a couple of follow-ups. first of all, you mentioned getting the physical military aid to the ukrainian forces there. is that more difficult now? and and then also as far as the

humanitarian corridor, putin can't seem to agree to a ceasefire so they can get to safety. so how does that happen? and what more, you know, account u.s. do? -- account u.s. do? everybody's expecting the u.s. and nato to be the zaevion -- savior in all this. is that possible? >> it is possible in some ways. the polish-ukrainian border must be kept open. if you look at the map at where the russian forces are, they're in the east, the south, the north, and they're in the central portions of ukraine. but they're really not in western ukraine. so i do believe it's time to raise the stakes. either true a united nations -- through a united nations, a sponsored declaration or unilateral efforts by nato to declare western ukraine as a humanitarian assistance zone. currently --

arthel: okay, if they do that -- how do they do that? if they declare that as a hue humanitarian zone, russian forces keep coming. so if they declare that, now does that put nato troops perhaps in direct contact with russian forces coming in prosecute east? >> there is -- from the east? if. >> there is a risk in that nato troops, including u.s. troops, would be a part of being in that humanitarian assistance zone and protecting it within western ukraine. and what that does, it puts president putin on the horn obviously a dilemma. he is focused on the fight in the rest of ukraine. he does not have the force structure or lethality to do anything about that. we will hear from him saying, okay, we're now at war with nato. i'm not sure he will do that, because he doesn't have the forces to do that, and his forces have not performed very well. arthel: but is that -- >> and that no-fly zone -- go ahead. arthel: no, you go ahead.

>> there would be a no-fly zone around that western ukrainian humanitarian assistance zone. and that's a compromise position. it's not a no-fly zone over all ukraine, but it'd be western ukraine. then to allow the international red cross the corridors connecting to that, to allow refugees a safe area. i mean, there are risks to it, but i think it's time for our administration, for nato to raise the stakes for president putin. >> well, i like what you're saying. finish you know, i'm sure that's going to beg some people to is ask then if you're going to do that, nato and u.s. allies will do that, why won't they just go all the way right now and, you know, implementing a no-fly zone, if you could give me 30 seconds on that. >> a humanitarian assistance zone is to protect refugees and

civilians -- arthel: does putin adhere to that, sir, do you see what i'm saying? does he care? >> if he doesn't adhere to that, then we would have the nato troops, air defenses and no-fly zone to insure that it's end enforced. president putin can't afford to do that. he doesn't have the force structure to do anything about that at this point. if. arthel: retire major general dana pit standard, really appreciate your analysis. thank you very much, sir. take care. >> thank you, arthel. ashe. eric: and speaking of the no-fly zone, that wore caulk -- war could be decided by which country does control the skies. up next, live in europe where secretary of state anthony blinken is rally aring support that could be critical in the days and weeks ahead. ♪ ♪

[background sounds] eric: there you can see russian tanks, we are told those are rumbling closer to kyiv as

president zelenskyy and the people of ukraine beg for more support from nato and the west like composing a no-fly zone which the white house and our allies have declined to do. secretary of state antony blinken is visiting countries that belong to nato this weekend as the u.s. is trying to rally its european allies to send more support, and that includes mid war planes that ukrainian pilots can fly. rich edson is live in lithuania tonight with us. hello, rich. >> reporter: hello, eric. what we're looking at here is the administration finally acknowledging that they're trying to get those polish mig fighter jets to ukraine. the way they would do that would be to provide american material to fill in for the polish government to make sure that they weren't having issues with

their piloting. ukrainian foreign minister appealed publicly yesterday to allow poland to supply these mig fighter jets. these are the type the ukrainian military can fly. blinken says the u.s. is working on getting poland other jets give given concerns over this russian invasion. >> we're looking actively at the question of airplanes that poland may provide to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill. can't speak to a timeline, but we're looking at it very, very actively. >> reporter: the secretary of state has just arrived here, he'll travel to all three baltic states. that also includes latvia and estonia. these countries say they're concerned about a potential russian inevasion even though they're nato countries covered under the treaty that says an attack an one nato sun -- country is an attack on all of them. blinken began the day in

moldova, not a nato country. this war has created hundreds of thousands of refugees. moldova says it's hosting more than 120,000 refugees and is requesting assistance. blinken has been highlighting the white house's $257 billion request for humanitarian assistance to help with refugees. that would have to go through congress first. part of this six-day, seven-country trip has been to coordinate sanctions on russia between the and e.u., and it appears they're looking to target energy now. >> we are now in very active discussions with our european partners about banning the 'em port of russian oil to our countries while, of course, at the same time maintaining a steady global supply of oil. the actions we've taken to date have already had a devastating impact on the -- >> reporter: the problem with that is you remove russian oil from the market, prices go up. it's unclear where the administration is going to get those barrels to replace a loss

of russian oil. the secretary of has also added a stop on this trip. we're going to paris to meet with french president emmanuel macron according to the state department. mack caron has already spoken a come p old times with -- couple of times with vladimir putin, so the continued conversations on the response of this ukraineen i vegas. eric? eric: and ukrainians really need those migs. rich edson from list wane what, thank you. arthel? arthel: well, emotional plea from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy after that secretary of state anthony blinken said today that the united states is actively working on a deal with poland to supply ukraine with jets to combat russia's advances. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more details. jen? >> reporter: hi, arthel. it's really not clear how much

impact these polish migs will have if they are delivered, but there was a noticeable shift in tone here in washington after president zelenskyy appealed correctly to u.s. lawmakers on that conference call saturday. the nsc and state department are, as you mentioned, actively discussing how to help poland provide ukraine with the mission and sukhoi war planes that ukraine's pilots already know how to fly. >> when it comes to planes, we are being assured that talks are underway and the solution is close. the problem is that we have no time for talks and solutions. we need them now. >> reporter: originally poland wanted the u.s. to provide it with replacement f-6s, but it takes time to retrofit those for foreign sales. what's being discussed is tearily honing -- temporarily loaning some f-16s. poland is asking for 40,000 nato troops.

former president petro poroshenko. >> definitely, we need the military jets to cover the nuclear power station because nuclear contamination, do not see the border. >> reporter: nato would need to establish saw -- a no-fly zone over all of ukraine to stop the fighting, but nato war planes won't stop a ballistic or cruise missile launched from belarus or russia without expanding the conflict. then there is the issue of nato war planes being shot down. u.s. air force fighter pilot colonel scott o'grady was famously shot down over boss nia in -- bosnia in 1985. u.s. marines had to be sent in to rescue him. the only no-fly zone that the u.s. is discussing right now is a possible no-fly zone over humanitarian corridors if they could ever be established. those would have to be established under the

international red cross. putin would have to allow for them to be established. so far russian forces are firing artillery and have not orrin honored any of those agreements, arthel. arthel: yeah. putin can't commit to a no-fly zone to protect humanitarian pathways, you know, russian and ukraine officials are scheduled to hold more talks sunday -- excuse me, monday, which is tomorrow. that'll be the third round. but you may remember that president zelenskyyed had asked to speak directly with president putin, you know, president to president. so without that kind of direct dialogue, can there be safe passage for civilian evacuees or a diplomatic end to this war? >> reporter: it really is all up to president putin, and there was an important conversation with him from the israeli prime minister today. and so the reason that i think blinken is going to france is that the french president has been in constant cabot with putin. -- constant contact with

putin. but it really comes down to him, and he is showing no signs of wanting an offramp. this talk of no-fly zones and humanitarian corridors, unless he orders his troops to abide by that, it's not going to happen. arthel: and what's your reporting on the notion of banning russian oil imports? >> reporter: well, it's important to remember that the u.s. imto rts an average of 209,000 gallons per day of crude oil, 500,000 barrels per day of other petroleum products. that's 3% of u.s. crude oil imports. by contrast, the u.s. imports 61% from canada, 10% of its oil from mexico and 6% from saudi arabia. the one place they're looking to perhaps get more oil to replace russian crude oil would be venezuela. remember that in 2019 the trump administration imposed sanctions on venezuela, and that cut off u.s. supplies of venezuelan oil.

there's a delegation going down to talk to venezuela about perhaps coming up with some sort of arrangement if they were to find an arrangement to somehow halt russian oil supplies. but i think it's also important, arthel, to remember that when the u.s. sanctioned iran's oil, it set up an escrow account to keep iran oil nowing so that the world oil supplies didn't, you know, strike -- create instability in financial markets, set up that escrow fund so that iran didn't have access to the money, but the u.s. still access to iran's oil. arthel: right. i mean, it's definitely complicated now as well. i want to say that we are waiting to hear vice president kamala harris speak in selma, alabama. i may have to go to that, jennifer k and interrupt you. in the meantime, i want to lay

this out because if your report that you just filed at the beginning of our segment, secretary blinken didn't specify a timeline on those polish war planes getting to ukraine. you've got some biden critics are claiming president biden could -- hold on for me, jen or if, because i want to circle back with that question. let's go to vice president kamala harris who's about to mark the anniversary of bloody sunday. >> -- outstanding passion and purpose, and it is wonderful to share the stage with you. so before i begin, i want to say a few words about situation in ukraine. today the eyes of the world are on ukraine and the brave people who are fighting to protect their country and their democracy. and their bravery is a reminder that freedom and democracy can never be taken for granted.

by any of us. with that, it is a privilege to be among so many distinguished leaders dedicated activists, friends and american heroes. and to be with so many members of congress, of our cabinet who are all representing our nation and representing our administration. it is a particular honor to be join by the families of congressman john lewis and reverend dr. martin luther king jr. [cheers and applause] so today we gather here on hallowed ground. it was a chilly sun morning 57 years ago when 600 brave individuals set out from selma.

they were marching for the most fundamental right of american citizenship, the right to vote. they knew that if they wanted true freedom, if they wanted to claim what was theirs by birth and by right, they had to march. on this bridge, on that day -- arthel: vice president harris mentioned john lewis. john lewis, of course, one of the main organizers and leaders of that march. john lewis suffered a fractured skull that day, would later become a long-serving georgia congressman. and the voting rights legislation bearing his name failed to pass in january after senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema refused to help senate democrats circumvent the filibuster. vice president kamala harris in selma, alabama, on this 57th

anniversary of bloody sunday. we will be back after a break. >> those brave marchers continued to push forward -- inflammation in your eye might be to blame. let's kick ken's ache and burn into gear! over the counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those drops will probably pass right by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what's that? xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda-approved non-steroid eye drop specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait fifteen minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? be proactive about managing your symptoms by talking to your doctor about twice-daily xiidra. like i did. i prefer you didn't.

arthel: okay. want to bring back national security correspondent jen griffin. jen, we were talking about timeline before we went to selma. there are some critics of president biden claiming that president biden could have deployed more military resources before the conflict began, that he should have acted sooner. and i wanted to ask what's your reporting on the state department's strategy and timeline behind troop deployment to europe and serving military aid to ukraine? >> well, let's look at that timeline, arthel. the u.s. has 81,000 u.s. troops across europe. they've had those troops based there for years. 8500 were put on deployment alert on january 24th. those troops were stateside. on february 2nd, 3,000 u.s. troops were sent to poland, romania and germany.

the u.s. has about 10,000 u.s. troops in poland, and on the today of the invasion the u.s. deployed 7,000 additional troops to germany. the biden administration was carefully calibrating sending defensive troops that would reassure the eastern flank of nato and not give putin a pretext to go into ukraine. so there was a delicate balancing act, but they had tens of thousands of troops on standby and already in europe. a u.s. defense official overseeing the delivery of weapons to ukraine spoke to us last week, and i think it's important to remember that a large amount of military aid was already flowing in the last year. a billion dollars' worth of military and defensive assistance to ukraine from the if biden administration, $60 million package transferred to ukraine in november of last year as concerns about russia grew. then in late december, the white house authorized $200 million

worth of military aid, and by the end of january that had been delivered. and in $350 million that was announced a week ago, 70% of that has been -- which included anti-armor capabilities, those javelin missiles, the stinger missiles, that had all been delivered this week. and in the coming days, we expect all of that to be delivered. so there's a constant flow of weapons going overland, and that's why when you hear major general pittard talking about setting up a corridor or taking over western ukraine and creating a humanitarian corridor there, you know, the secret is that that is how those weapons are getting in. so are you going to -- you're going to find yourself face to face with russian troops and the russian air force you start setting up a no-fly zone in any part of ukraine. the president has been very clear he's not sending u.s. troops to fight on ukrainian

soil, and he's not sending u.s. war planes to fight against the russian air force in the skies over ukraine. arthel? arthel: yes. so, yes. i was actually surprised when general pittard, who i thought was excellent, said that. he is very respected and so we'll see how this plays out. your information in terms of the timing and amount of personnel, physical and otherwise, that was sent to ukraine by the biden administration just smacks in the face of those who are saying the biden administration should have done more before the conflict began. national security correspondent jennifer griffin, thank you, jen. >> thanks, arthel. arthel: eric? eric: yeah. thank you, jennifer. if you want to understand vladimir putin's brutality and savagery, just look at the killings on the streets of kyiv and throughout ukraine. stunning new video that exposes the devastation of the country

and what putin is doing, but it also shows the resilience of the ukrainian people. alexis mcadams in united states with the latest on that. >> reporter: hi, eric. yeah, as we watch those videos come in on social media, it's devastating to see what these people are going through. attacks by russian troops have continued again today. ukrainian troops still fighting back. this afternoon troops tried to shoot down a russian drone. gunfire ringing out as people tried to flee. watch this. [gunfire] "money rocks" "money rocks".
