dictatorship's oil with the other, and we need to be replacing it american oil. and it's -- it just blows your mind that this is the strategy that this administration. it's unconscionable. >> carley: the solution seems so simple, congressman, and yet there is absolutely no willingness to reach that goal. got to leave it right there. ♪ [bleep] >> brian: wow, we start with a fox news alert. day 12 of russiaens war in ukraine beginning with blast you just heard, rocking a city outside kyiv. >> while you were asleep russia vowing a cease-fire, a third such promise after two failed attempts, nato allies getting the green light to deploy those fighter jets go and support ukraine. >> then what happens is the question. this morning secretary of state antony blinken is in europe after claiming there is credible

evidence putin has committed war crimes. >> brian: do you think so? >> steve: it is 1:00 in ukraine and ben hall leads our coverage from ukraine early this afternoon. >> brian, steve and ainsley good morning. russia has aflowfns tud will wil open a corridor from for cities. there was immediate backlash their plans entailed taking people straight to belarus or russia. and of course over the last few days, russia has also pretended to have humanitarian corridors out in the city of mariupol, the red cross saying the reason they couldn't get in those humanitarian corridors had been mined. meaning the buses couldn't come in to save the 200,000 people who had been trying to get out. indiscriminates across the country in numerous towns and cities. aging at airfields. pipelines, communication towers. in the city of mariupol people have been without power for six days now and food and medicine

there is almost gone. secretary blinken said war crimes could also have been committed. >> 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. right now we're looking at these reports. they are very credible. and we're documenting everything. >> ukraine's president zelenskyy has accused russia also of murdering civilians after a russian attack on sunday. killed a young family as they were trying to flee. it is one of the many attacks that left civilians and children dead. not to mention hospitals and schools bombed. >> we will not forgive the destroyed houses. we will not forgive the shooting of unarmed people. destruction of our infrastructure. and god, we will not forgive not today, not tomorrow, not tomorrow and instead of forgiveness there will be a day of judgment. >> meanwhile russian forces

prepare to take ukraine's capital city. their jets flying sorties and their tanks moving evercloser shelling closer. the capital was their next target. the ukrainian official said they thought last night would be the night they hit this city of kyiv using airstrikes, cruise missiles and helicopters. the sense is it will happen shortly. putin is looking to syria to hire mercenaries. the morale among his own troops so low calling on allies to do dirty work. that's what it will be when they hit this urban street o. street fighting which is expected. >> brian: what are they doing in terms of supplies. what have you seen visually? do you know if food is flowing if arms are flowing in and out of your city? >> it's very -- yeah, it's very difficult to get any supplies into the city we are in now. we were at the train station yesterday. we saw some supplies coming from the west of the country. passing straight through the

city. because where they are really needed is out east. right now kyiv is hunkered down. it's waiting for thin evident tillable attack. but there are more important places to focus right now. mariupol that we talk about hasn't had power or any supply for six days or show. surely as the russian troops move along that humanitarian crisis ever crisis reach kyiv as well. as for weapons they continue to come in. reports we hear they are getting in the hands of the ukrainians who need them. that's important. that's why there is also a concern about russian forces trying to cut off the west of the country trism. at this at the moment free flow of weapons and supplies coming in. lviv. that's where we are looking as well. >> steve: indeed or they haven't had food or water for three days. becoming desperate and tanks have moved into the city. benjamin, regarding something you were talking about a moment ago. that is these cease fires so people with get the heck out of town. now russia is proposing, as you

said. six evacuation corridors. but they lead to belarus or they lead to russia. now, russia says that president macron suggested this was a great idea. and he was behind it but president macron of the country of france has said i don't know what they're talking about. i said cease-fire. i didn't say these people from ukraine should go to russia. >> it all seems to be a big game for putin. you never know what he is going to do. that's what is so worrying. two humanitarian corridors have been announced and plans mariupol, they were shelled. they have been mind. it's clear that pult wants to sow fear new england the population. soften the targets before he goes in with ground forces thereby making it a far easier target. we have spoken to ukrainian leaders who say whatever happens, whatever whenever you sit down with putin at the negotiating table do not believe a word is he going to say. if you want to see how serious is he taking the negotiations he sent the last round the former

deputy secretary of culture. whereas the ukrainians sent some more high ranking foreign ministry officials. everyone is saying that so far these neg are merely a ploy he can continue escalating while pretending that he is talking there seems to be very little hope diplomacy is going to work. they are desperately needed. humanitarian crisis here is becoming an absolute catastrophe not just for the country but for all the european countries around it romania, hungary, poland, moldova they are suffering too. no doubt that's something putin wanted to achieve as well. the destablization of western europe. >> ainsley: how do renegotiate with putin. this is a guy killing innocent women and children on the street. the family, it's been circulating here in the united states, this picture of a family dead on the street. they were gunned down in the middle of the road when they were trying to escape. zelenskyy right on the road as in a shooting club when they were just trying to get out of town to escape.

how much faith and trust do the ukrainians put in putin when he says is he going to open humanitarian corridors in several areas? >> very little. maybe none at all. but it doesn't mean they are not going to keep trying. all along president zelenskyy has said we don't think there is going to be much faith or much coming from these negotiations but we won't stop trying. because the only way out of this eventually is going to be some kind of negotiated settlement. that's what we think we are seeing at the moment both sides moss tureg for that negotiated settlement. the feeling is among experts putin wants to be holding far more territory before he negotiates so he has more to bargain away. if the ukrainians can hold him back for a week or so they come to the bargaining table. your forces aren't moving forward and you far quagmire. neither side feels they are in a place to negotiate with a strong hand. eventually one side or another is going to get that stronger hand. sapped thing is it feels like the russians. despite the bravery which the

the ukrainians are fighting. despite the fact that they have javelins and stingers. you simply cannot hold back the army of 190,000 plus people. putin's force also keep on moving and taking those losses there is a window right here. the next few weeks, perhaps. where one side or another will get the upper hand. >> brian: prettyia maized at the casualty rate russians suffering maybe we got in all of the war in iraq and afghanistan. and the amount of aircraft have that have been sky. and the stingers are pouring. in the russians when they take a hard look at this. they cannot be pleased with their military performance. >> georgia. the numbers are quite remarkable. bare in mind that these ukrainians are saying they killed around 10,000 russian troops. they have shot down around 100 helicopters and planes. so, imagine that figure is a little bit low. even still that's a remarkably high figure. yes that death tool will have a effect domestically for putin.

the reason he can't occupy this country in the long run is because as a death toll continues to rise eventually public opinion will turn against him which is why he is trying to complete the first stage of this war very quickly. look, what they really need here are planes and this has been a discussion going on in the last couple of days, whether or not poland can supply these megs to the fighter by boss, the lots, these are russian planes this any know to you to my. the polls wants their jets to be backfilled by the u.s. they want f-16s. >> they don't want to give away their jets until they have got some more to protect their own skies. it can d. seem yesterday that was happening. moving forward slowly and they were trying to find a compromise, the yes is how do you get those jets to ukraine. vladimir putin said yesterday if any planes or jets came from another country to this country and used, he would consider that an act of war. if that threat from putin is enough to make countries back down, certainly everyone has a big problem because it seems every time putin makes a threat

no one reacts to it because they are too afraid what might happen. meanwhile his armies keep marching across this country. >> brian: put the pilots no poll and let them fly them out. ukrainians planes, fly them out. they can't handle this war they are going to expand it? i don't know. >> ainsley: thanks, benjamin. talks of three way deal antony blinken was on the shows over the weekend talk about sending our fighter jets to poland. as long as poland send their makings into ukraine. how do they send these jets into there? do we get the pilots from ukraine to go across the border. [. >> brian: they go across the border and fry them out. >> steve: the reason they would use the polish plane they know how to fly those meigs. if they are going to be replaced by american airplanes, who going to teach the polish how to fly those in short order? you know, when you are talking about the numbers of the official ukrainian numbers are in the last hour or so they released the number 364

civilians have been killed thus far today is day 12 of this war in ukraine by russia. they are estimating that the russians have lost 11,000 of their troops. in other words, putin is losing about a thousand of his troops a day. it's the indiscriminate bomb as you look at civilian areas. that's why mr. zelenskyy is calling them war crimes of the international criminal court is meeting this morning our time, this afternoon in the hague. and that is where the ukrainians are making their case. look. there are war crimes being committed here. there are these atrocities, but as it turns out of. ukrainians showed up and russia did not. so, effectively they are boycotting the international court at the hague. >> ainsley: yeah, zelenskyy, he has been talking since the beginning of this almost every day, if not every day on video. and you can tell his tone has changed.

is he getting madder and madder at the west for not putting tough enough sanctions on russia and he is asking for more of these missiles for more equipment. he is asking for the no-fly zone over ukraine. listen to what he said. this is is his latest video. >> think about the sense interest of the invaders. they announced their planned atrocities. why? because there is no reaction. because there is silence. not a word. as if western leaders have dissolved tonight. the audacity of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough. >> brian: right. but there is a lot of major companies that have pulled out of russia. we know that there is wide range sanction once a banking suspect. they are going over to the swift system. the chinese version of the swift system we will call it the union system. probably go over there as much as people say china will supply a lot of what the west has walked away from not nearly as

much as many people thought. so china is kind of looking back and evaluating where they go from here there is a school thought there that things are going so terrible for the russians that their only way out of this because they can't win militarily asking syrians to fight. telling the belrusians to fight with. they colonel a former deputy secretary of state came out said from his point of view a negotiated peace is the only thing that can be done from former u.s. envoy to ukraine he sees this russian invasion as just the beginning. >> is this a scenario where can you see someone sitting down and negotiating the way out? >> not at all. we have to understand that putin is bent on a military victory. he wants to destroy ukraine, decapitate the leadership, he doesn't care about how many casualties this causes, what happens to the civilian population. this is a messianic mission that is he on. this is why he has to be stopped. >> steve: right. but there is no stopping him because he wants that piece of

territory. at this hour, even though russia is waging war with ukraine, as it turns out, russian gas is still flowing through ukraine, through pipelines into europe. and now that the united states, particularly over the weekend. has been saying that we're considering ways to ban russian energy exports, that is why the fears of supply shortages have changed what you are going to start paying very shortly after gas pump if not, you know, if you didn't notice it over the weekend. did down in the lower right-hand portion of the screen, you will see the dow futures. they are way down. and why? because for the first time in a decade, oil is now topping 1 $0 a barrel. the stock futures are down. natural gas in europe surged 60%. 6-0% today after the united states said, you know what? we are going to have to look at

cutting off the supply from russia. because that's the only way to pump, you know, they are getting all dough frows run the war. let's cut it off. >> ainsley: we are not only sending aid and missiles and equipment over to ukraine and humanitarian aid. we are also funding putin doing this. listen, we buy oil from russia still. there is pressure in washington from both sides. now joe manchin is getting on board and saying we need to stop buying oil from russia. we are financing this war. we are helping putin get rich. the west is making him so filthy rich. he makes so much money a day. billions per day. the wharton business school did this study before all of this and said this is the main reason gas price is surging for inflation a 40-year hire high. the wharton school of business said this is before where gas prices got today it's costing you the american family anywhere between 3500 and $5,000 a year. extra money that you don't have. >> brian: right. so we have 6 hunks million barrels roughly of russian oil

coming in here. and with the administration keeps saying only have. we are their number one customer. and that's enough. and meanwhile i think that people have to understand this democrats like nancy pelosi, senator murphy are getting on board. and saying yeah, let's ban russian oil. what is going to fill that gap? the president is going to be going over to saudi arabia begging them, are you kidding me? he is going to go to venezuela. are you nuts? dirty oil from that horrible regime. >> ainsley: or iran. buttigieg is talking about iran. >> brian: iran deal whole other thing we are sitting down with russia asking to leverage iran to get together a worse deal than we walked i away from in 2015 which democrats in the senate didn't even sign on for. what we should do is we should drill. >> we have simple we should drill. people gone green crazy, you say this is temporary, we evaluate in six months, that's what true leaders do. one true leader is senator joe manchin, listen to him. >> people in my state of west virginia, believe it's basically

foolish for us to keep buying products and giving profit and money to putin to be able to use against ukrainian people. we have the energy. we have the resources here. we have the technology. we don't have to put any more pain on the american people that are already suffering with inflation now. >> brian: senator murphy of connecticut came out i'm for cutting off russian oil. let's get the other energy from winds the long island sound. are you nuts? we are going to power our cars with wind from the long island sound? to me that's the foundation of our vulnerability is this push to green technology when the technology is not there. that's why europe is being on the crack pipe of russia on natural gas and oil. we have to put l and g there right now. and backfill them, a massive manhattan like project to to be the number one supplier of russian oil and gas. >> ainsley: either way we are going to buy the oil. better here to it manufacture in

america. the environment list thousand it l. effect our environment. what about russia's environment we are buying it from them instead of here. >> steve: dow futures down 600 points. brian, you mentioned liquid natural gas which we have a lot of over here. unfortunately what they are saying is because the shipping costs and everything else would be such a burden on europe, it would just be more expensive. so there is another idea that elon musk floated earlier today, and that is this. there are a whole bunch of nuclear power plants throughout europe. they have been moth balled. turn them on. he says, you know, some people are worried about the leaking nuclear power plants in ukraine. he said you've got power plants all over europe. turn them back on and you don't have to worry about vladimir putin who is blackmailing the world. >> brian: there is a way to get affordable l and g over there we

were working on that and that goes disrailroad. >> ainsley: six ukrainian flags up in support of ukraine and say i support the people and i support the people in russia who don't agree with this war. >> brian: i like when smart people try to help out the world. meanwhile up next, breaking down the latest russian troop movements in ukraine as we wait to see what vladimir putin's military will honor a cease-fire. >> the peoplen's cob i have desdee sending on the capital how they hope to get biden's acontinuation and quest for freedom -- attention and quest for freedom.

advances. leaving citizens with two choices either going to fight or flee. many, about 20,000 outside foreign fighters already poured in to fight for the ukrainians. take a look where we stand right now. obviously the red area is occupied by the russians right now. take a look where they are making gains and where they're struggling? right here. and struggling right here. what they are doing is they have great forces as they shell kharkiv they are not able to move in they need forces here. they are chelsea leaving early. envelopes they go and try to disorm this area, they're leaving early to surround kyiv. meanwhile they are getting word that the meigs might be coming. in trying to blow up as many airport as possible. over here they just blew it up. it seems to make no sense and leaves scenes to be on its owns a the northern campaign seems to be struggling. keep your mind though on the south as we look ahead in the north as we mentioned here, this

is actually controlled by the russians. but the problem is 99%, 97% of all their forces are already in country. and they are still not making that much progress. what they are doing is becoming increasingly brutal. when the russians get frustrated they don't move they get brutal. that's why they are loads ago lot of people and killing a lot of civilians and any type of semblance of support they might have had around the world is disappearing. and the northern campaign is struggling. so do you know what else they are doing? they're starting to harass these people doing these things like working in nuclear power plants this one has been hit already. this one has been stopped already. and now they sit in there and say 54% of the entire country is powered by nuclear power. we are in this season called winter. this is freezing. so we have cut out power in some major cities and threatening to cut out power here. also, shaking the world because we know if they start blowing up nuclear power plants, the nuclear fallout is all

throughout europe which is key, this is what everyone is concerned about today. in the south, crimea where they're heavily fortified and moving out. the russians are moving out this way. kherson is occupied. but do you know what is so heartening? kherson is occupied by the russians? do you know what the ukrainians are doing every day? protesting and harassing the occupied russian troops. when they sit there and say should we occupy another city? this one is not going too well. >> this is the big worry right here. as we stay in red. we got about six warships and they are going to try to pour into owe des. is a the goal is to make this country landlocked and shut off the ports. if they go and take odesa, too they have the troops to hold it? this is where they are indeed the strongest and finally, let's take a look at the good news. they have a lot of support everywhere. i want you to keep your eye on is this little corridor here. if they decide to expand russia says this is going terribly i

want to distract. go to weapons depot and start pulling in forces into nato areas at which time we got to go in. rule 5 article 5 says we have. to say then you are talking about another world war. where the russians desperate to save face start spreading out the conflict. that's the key. all right. that's a quick look at what is happening here. meanwhile, i was able to spot without a touch screen carley shimkus making her way through back channel through your other path to your news position. >> carley: expert walk and talk toss to me, brian. >> brian: what a jock. >> carley: i will pick it up from here. an armed suspect arrested at joint base andrews and anoth suspect still on the loose after they drove a vehicle through a security check point that breach crossing a lockdown which has since been lifted. all this happening shortly after vice president kamala harris arrived at the base on marine 2 from a three-point selma, alabama. no shots from were fired and no

go ahead. evacuate. and what does he do? he kills people who are trying to leave. do you trust putin? >> no. and no one trusts him and neither should russian nation. because even with the news from russia and the people think that putin is doing great and they agree with him, yeah. they scared and a lot. it's quite embarrassing. me staying here and that can see people dying. can i see the tents. can i hear the explosions. all the time. you know. that's really scary. the situation is bad here. and i'm very grateful that you having time here and you have attention to which is going on right here. thank you for showing it to the whole world. we highly appreciate it because, yeah, a lot of people are dying

here. and not only the armies. not military, but also the small kyiv. they just shoot everyone. they kill innocent people here. >> i know, gerbert, i know you are staying to fight for your family and for your country. other portions of your family, the women and children have left why is if you want to stay? i just read a story that 140,000 international citizens have come to ukraine to pick up arms and fight with you. but they are starting to turn people away because they don't have enough weapons have you been able to get enough arms to feel like you are protected and you can make a difference? >> yeah. that's true i have group of

people who providing the citizens with and there is and pulling them a few days to get something to i can defend my country but they don't have enough, you know, because everything goes to our army like for the people who are trained well and know how to deal with the weapons here. and we do not have enough. so i'm here and my father is here. you know, no one of us want to leave the country, go to a places, you know, if the things are going to be really bad here, we have wanted to go to the war and defense of a country. because we have no other way than here. that would be the best way like, you know, it will be very silly just to die somewhere not defend the country. >> steve: i have one final quick question that is without giving up how the resistance works, you

know, a russian unit moves towards an area. how do the people of ukraine know that they are there? is it via social media? there r. there texts or phone calls? thousand do you know they are right over there and we need to go try to take care of them? >> yeah, sure, forearm in the cities we have the sirens so, they are very loud. so all the people can hear them. and also, yeah, we have the social media, social networks. and there are some specific groups for some villages, for some cities and the people, you know, who are in charge of these places, they just -- so for example we have the people just go and hide, you know, in some safe places. and everyone is leaving their places to go there. >> steve: absolutely. gerbert, thank you for joining us from ukraine and telling us your story. stay safe. >> yeah. thank you. we appreciate. >> steve: you bet. all right.

or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. why do people who live with generalized myasthenia gravis want a new treatment option? because we want to be able to get up and get ready for work. because the animals need to be cared for, and we like taking care of them. because we want to go out to dinner with our friends.

three, brian. i mean, they have bogged down in the convoy's coming down from the north surrounding kyiv. they have a logistics problem. they did not anticipate that joe jis sticks problem. they should have. that's the achilles heel of any army i'm glad they didn't. those thanks, those trucks, though armored personnel carriers are sitting ducks out there and ukrainians are doing a good scwob job with the weapons flowing into the country contradicting those coming into the cities. >> brian: the red areas being occupied by russia i know you know that what people have told me to do is to divide the north and south campaign. i mean, in the north, they have been totally inept in the south they seemed to be fortified, communication seems to be better. you want to focus in the south is that where there is going to be movement this week? >> president zelenskyy has told everybody that probably the next port city. they have lost carson. right now mariupol is being

flattened by artillery and by missiles up in the sea of aziad. russians took control of the sea really after 2018. the ukrainian navy, which we were helping to train came upy w. an idea of the mosquito fleet. they went up there with three ships. they were fired upon. 27 sailors taken prisoner and in the a dungeon in moscow violation of the geneva convention. that water connects to the black sea controlled by the russians which is why they have the freedom of movement and doing what they're doing to mariupol. carson is gone. odesa is next. president zelenskyy washed about that next week. the russians have a preponderance of force in there. they have six amphibious assault ships full of troops and bmvs personnel carriers and tanks. they could go ashore and move inland. >> brian: what do you believe the ukrainians have here to stop them? >> they don't have a lot, brian.

and that was part of my thesis in that article with foreign policy, we probably should have started manning them up with lethal weapons back in 2014. but everybody was afraid of exacerbating russia at the time. this is across all administrations. nobody wanted to, you know, provoke a fight with vladimir putin. well, here we are. so, now we're playing a catch up game but it's gone actually pretty well. i mean, $350 million of aid is flowing in there. so a lot of the effective lethal tools that we're sending the javelins, the stingers are being used quite well. but they don't have the you know, the same kind of system that israel has. this iron dome system to protect their territory from incoming missiles and they don't have a lot of coastal defense batteries. so this is going to be a tough fight if it comes from the sea. >> brian: my point in relates yeah they have kherson, right? in realities the ukrainians are

sitting there in occupied city and fighting back and protesting. they are having trouble in the cities that were supposed to line up this invasion in red here and here. so they might have the force to take odesa. might not be much resistance are you shocked at how the resistance are getting into the smaller cities leading up to take odesa? >> oh, yeah. i think they are going to fight for odesa, brian. if the russians come ashore there, they may get ashore, and the purpose of those amphibious ships is just to move tanks and infantry into the main objective. once they get in the city, this is urban warfare, this is fallujah, this is mosul. the russians are going to get bogged down. every ukrainian has a molotov cocktail on balcony. every ukrainian if they want one has been issued a kalashnikov. causing damage. it's not going to be easy for the russians once they establish a beach head if they, in fact can do that. >> brian: they always say after

a conflict there should be after action report. this is called after inaction. this is why we have this. admiral, have you been calling for this five alarm fire for about five years no. one is listening. now the whole world is listening because president zelenskyy is demanding it and now people are listening. thanks so much, admiral, we will have you back. >> brian, thank you very much. appreciate it and it's great to be on the show. >> brian: meanwhile also appreciate carley shimkus answered the call to deliver the news right now. carley, take it away. >> >> carley: thank you very much, brian. start with this. firefighters battling several dangerous firefighters across the florida panhandle after evacuating nearly 1100 homes. the wildfire taking the lives of at least six people, additional resources have been brought to the area to combat those fires, some first responders suffered injuries. investigators are working to determine what caused the fires. former new york governor andrew cuomo is now blaming cancel

this and how successful is it? >> obviously given the circumstances, you know, we as americans we have to pitch in somehow to send a message out there that what is happening out there is not okay. obviously don't have anything against russian people. but the sisht regime. if you change simple drinks name from moscow mule to ukrainian mule, i think that will send a message out there. and that will -- hobnob neighborhood tavern planning to don't some of the proceedings of those drinks into a-to-a charity that will benefit the ukrainian people. >> ainsley: these very kind of you. you were born and raised in turkey settled in atlanta 1997. owned several restaurants there hobnob, atlantic station and also cattle shed which is in al alfred da. >> this is a decision we made a few days ago. however i have talked to several guests yesterday just to have some sort of data to tell you

with guests and staff especially are also very appreciative that we're just sending a message out there that what's going on is not okay. so, everything has been very, very positive so far. and then i'm looking forward to just making some difference from our industry and just do something that we can do. >> ainsley: definitely raises awareness. when you order a moscow mule you don't think about it now you will when you see ukrainian mule on your menu. inflation is up. 40 owe-year high. food price have jumped 20.7% year after year. record high in february. how is this affecting the restaurant business for you? >> i mean, the restaurant business has been in trouble for a while. because of the pandemic, in addition to that obviously gas and oil prices have been going up. it's going to continue going up and affect the supply chain. that's going to affect the definitely the many prices going up. however, i have to mention, this

actually, that this is nothing compared to what ukrainian people are going through right now. >> ainsley: yes, you are absolutely right about that. the images are just horrible. prayers with them. thank you so much for coming on with us, sean. >> my flesh. good to be on the show. >> ainsley: so good to have you here. if you live in the area, go check out his restaurant. coming up, a young refugee lifting the spirits of many with a performance of let it go ♪ which leaves us to wonder, where does it go? does it shoot off like a rocket? or float off into the clouds? daddy! or maybe it takes on a life all its own. perhaps you'll come up with your own theory of where the stress goes. behind the wheel of a lincoln is a mighty fine place to start.

>> ainsley: a fox news alert. ukraine and russia set to resume peace talks in turkey. set later this hour. refugees increasing to 1.7 million now. >> steve: unbelievable. last few minutes president zelenskyy has released a new video on this, the 12th day of the war. >> brian: subtitles underneath there russia reportedly declaring a cease-fire a third attempt after the first two failed. they were fakes. benjamin hall is live in

ukraine's capital of kyiv. benjamin, as you look around, what are you seeing today? >> well, brian, steve, and ainsley, good morning. so far it has been peaceful today. this city is bracing for an invasion. many people feel that it was going come last night. many feel it will come tonight. so far the attacks seem to be taking place elsewhere in the country and many cities now being besieged. you talked earlier about those russians, the russian office for humanitarian corridors. cynical ploy because russia's offer involved taking people out of these places and sending them it belarus and russia. a nonstarter for some of them. the red cross said that the humanitarian corridors set up in the last few days to try to get people out of mariupol, those had actually been mined. people couldn't get, in and people couldn't get out. indiscriminate shelling continues across the country both in towns and cities, not just civilian areas they are hitting. they are hitting the airfields and pipeline, the communication towers. hitting critical resources which means people, for example, in

the city of mariupol have been without power now for six days and food and medicine there is almost gone. secretary blinkens who has been touring european countries trying to find ways to support ukraine. while also discussing the nato response to the conflict. and he reiterated his firm commitment to article 5. >> the united states commitment to article 5, an attack on one is an attack on all. that commitment is sacrosanct. no one should doubt our readiness. >> ukraine's president zelenskyy has accused russia now of murdering civilians after a russian attack on sunday killed a young family as they were trying to flee. one of many recent attacks that left civilians and children dead. not to mention the hospitals and schools that have been bombed. meanwhile russian forces prepare to take ukraine's capital city. jets flying sortie, the shelling ever forward toward the center. with ukrainian officials saying the capital was their next target. >> the figures coming from

ukrainians are quite remarkable. they say they have killed almost 10,000 russian soldiers. that's about 1,000 a day. they destroyed about 280 tanks. they shot down around 100 helicopters. and jets. nevertheless, the feeling is that the russian forces continue to push forward, shearly by the shear scale of the invading army. brian, steven, ainsley? >> ainsley: when you look at all the images, we have seen the aircraft carriers and seen people fleeing and interviewed a lot of people leaving and moms saying goodbye to husbands at the border because the husband has to fight. when you look at the video i'm not seeing many of the troops on the ground. are you seeing that when you are walking around town? >> you don't see battalions or large groups of troops in the city. smaller groups preparing for urban warfare. we gather when they go out and attack the con i haves, for example, it's very much hit and run. so they go in with, you know, with javelins that they take out some of the first tanks and they

disappear again. this is really a country that is gearing up for resistance movement. there aren't large targets, that russians can strike. i think that's one of the ways they have been so successful. we're not privy toward the ukrainian military movement, but certainly they are doing a lot better than was previously thought. >> steve: right. and speaking of targets, benjamin, president zelenskyy the last couple of hours said that he felt that ukraine's major defense industry production sites, which are in major cities will be bombed again after russia pretty much stalled because of the resistance and suffered heavy losses. the worry is that when night falls, that's when the bombs are going to fall, too. >> generally a lot of the shell takes place at night, yes. as for targets, yes, they will be aiming for the weapons factories but they will also be aiming for the civilians no, targets is off limits now is what it appears, and we have

seen evidence of cluster bombs being uses and it seems like putin has taken the gloves off now. one of the things about the sting is that russian forces been using dumb bombs as they're called their planes are taken out. you have to fly relatively low to get accuracy. what's happening is planes are flying higher when you drop dumb bombs higher a lot less accurate and leading to civilian casualties. >> brian: when you talk about fighting. i guess the russians aren't great at fighting at night. they don't have night vision glasses that we left in afghanistan, sadly. benjamin as you look at what is happening right now. experts say and it's hard to think about the big picture capital city under siege that if this conflict ends now, this is russian humiliation. when you look at the loss of aircraft and lives, their plans, their lack of coordination in the north and the south, they still have -- they still don't own the skies. whether those meigs come in they will still be able to fly.

lights are up in most of these cities. do you get the sense that the russians understand from the extent the information flows that this is going terribly for them? >> well, no, two things there. i don't think the russians have a full understanding of what is going on here. you know, putin has such control over the media there that it will be difficult for them to understand the true scale of, you know, of what is happening here. on the other hand, because putin has been -- has suffered such losses, is he not going to give up now. you know, everyone says that he is the kind of man who cannot suffer a loss like this. and that's why is he going to double down. so, you know, the ukrainian victory so far have a flip side and that is you can expect putin to keep going. is he certainly not going to negotiate a settlement at this point. he is going to double down. >> steve: yeah. benjamin, we have been talking about how yesterday and the day before there were these cease-fires where for humanitarian purposes where the people of ukraine could leaf but

putin using the dumb bombs or whatever wound up killing a bunch of those people, and now he is -- he, mr. putin, is proposing i-and they are having talks today, the two sides, third round of talks, and what is he proposing is six passengers of safety from these major cities that are about to be shelled even more. from these six cities, into either belarus or russia. obviously the people of ukraine don't want to go to russia. how many people are going to take him up on, okay, if i have got to go to russia to be safe, i'm going to go to russia or belarus? >> that's simply a nonstarter. and there is no doubt that putin will know that on the other hand it, makes it appear as if he is offering humanitarian corridors, on the other hand, he knows no one is going to accept it. it gives him the sort of victory in one sense while at the same time keeping the civilians just where he's them. that's in the targets of his weapons. so, no, look, for the last few months, in fact for the last 10

years, putin has on the one hand offered negotiations and appeared to be talking while at the same time escalating. you look at the last year, he massed his forces around the country while continuing to meet and discuss with the americans to try to find a solution. well, it's now apparent he was never looking for a solution but that's what he does. he pretends to talk on the one hand while at the same time escalating on the other. >> ainsley: thank you so much, benjamin. some of the stories that fascinating the knee over the weekend. nine aircraft shot down russian pilots. they were tied up their hands behind their backs and interviewed and one said i was just ordered to fly. said he was on a rescue mission. another one said he was not told anything about his mission. holocaust survivors, they recorded a video. they live in a jewish elderly home in kyiv, and the women were older, they were sitting on chairs. and they made a video for putin and it said putin, i hope you die, leave us alone, you blank. putin withdraw your army and get out. and then also this was a story

that we were all talking about over the weekend. it was on "new york times" home page, when you clicked on the web -- on their website and then this is the front cover of the "new york post" this morning. it's this family that is killed, you can see they have a carrier to carry some sort of a pet with all their luggage. they each have a bag and the whole family is just wiped out. the "new york times" was reporting and so was zelenskyy that the father, the mother, and the two children were all killed. but now if you read the "new york post" article, there is a question about maybe the father. >> steve: the father had a pulse when those two guys were working on him. >> brian: 1.4 million have already left the country. it's a country of 41 million. it's basically the size of texas. they are fighting, 120,000 there they say rauf roughly have come back to fight. to ukraine which shows tremendous courage about. 20,000 foreign fighters roughly according to the ukrainian people who have accepted the invitation from president zelenskyy. says if you want to come, come one, come all. be like the it foreign legion

and fight. on that convoy that we were watching so much last week, word is they ran out of gas. and maybe it was because they were puncturing their gas tanks, don't know, but now they are getting gassed up. and the question is are they going to to roll forward and also are we going to get the meigs in time to start blowing up that convoy because they are so close, they are so tight, you blow up some of them and there will just be a chain reaction before they start rolling into the city. >> steve: they have got gas right now. but for how many days in the russian supply chain is what's really screwing them at this point. we were talking earlier to a fellow who has moved out of kyiv, and he and his father are somewhere in the country. and they have taken up arms to defend their mother land. the rest of the family has gone to safety. but they are there. he, gilbert was with us and he described what he hears and what he sees when the russians are heading their way. watch this.

>> can i see the tents. i can hear the explosions all the time. >> you know, that's really scary. a lot of people are dying here. and not only the armies, not the military but also the women and the small kids. they just shoot everyone. they kill innocent people. we are going to go to the war in defense of a country. we have no other way. >> ainsley: that's why people wonder how do our western allies think they are going to negotiate with putin? he is killing innocent women and children in the streets as they are trying to leave. >> pete: i think president zelenskyy has woken up all of europe. is he about to be a member of the europe pine union which was impossible before. motivated nato given them a single sense of purpose. single-handedly changed the policy in germany. they are nuclear power plants and put aside $750 billion to build up their defense to get to that 2%. the polls said we are up to 3%.

now there is a sense of coordination and mission among nato and this is everything that presidents and especially biden was unable to do. so let them know that ukraine needed support. to let the american people know that we have to flood the ukrainians with support, with aid, with weapons, there is no missile defense system. they weren't able to replenish their navy since 2014. now, because of the leadership of this one man, and his constant berating of the west to do more and shaming, along with the protests around the world, that has forced action amongst our leaders. think is what president zelenskyy has done. who would think that this type of leadership would come from the ukrainian president? >> steve: he has asked for nato no-fly zone. but i saw that general kellogg was on our air yesterday answered suggested well, forget about nato. what about a united nations no-fly zone? when it comes to the united nations, today both sides apparently are -- were supposed

to reported to the united nations world court at the hague. and ukraine is arguing there are war crimes being committed. russia didn't show up. ukraine urged the judges to issue an injunction to end the invasion. they said millions are in danger and while, you know it, would be legally binding, anything by the world court, there is no way to enforce it so, you know, they could find against russia and all they would be able to do is say hey, russia, have you got to knock it off which as we have seen the world said that for the last 12 days. they are not knocking it off. >> brian: got to stop them here and he will spread this evil throughout eastern europe and then forge it on western europe. there is no doubt about it. >> ainsley: a few days ago we were saying a little more than a million have been leaving ukraine. thought numbers are higher than that new numbers are just in. they are revealing 1.7 million ukrainians, almost 2348 have left their war torrential

country. collin mcshane fox business live from slovakia. many are fleeing to slovakia, too. what's it like there. >> they are. by the thousands. you are right. we were in poland as you guys know, ainsley for a week plus, and they do have more than a million refugees there. with you but it is every nation that borders ukraine and buses from these types of countries into in many cases western europe. they are coming across this border crossing. and it's all women and children. you see some people have just come across getting a hot cup of tea here. and by the thousands, about 150,000, probably the best guess right now come into slovakia all with stories. what's more unbelievable than the next. young woman speaking to been in the some of the hartest hit areas of ukraine. and she was actually telling us, this is her second war that she has been through. take a listen to her story. >> i was in bomb shelter at night. as it was my second, so i wasn't

so [inaudible] i started before but it was hard as well, but people they fear and they need support. >> it was her second war because as a teenager she was in donetsk.as she came in here shes doing some remote work for a company that's based in prague from ukraine. that company is doing well by her. they will put her up in prague for a while. that's wife she came through this border crossing. come back to live pictures in slovakia. so many volunteers hard at work trying to get food from these folks as they come across the border. one of the colder days since we have been in region. people have come across on foot. guys, they're freezing cold. there is ukrainian city about three miles from the border crossing. a pretty big city before 100,000

plus. get a train from lviv in there that's how some people are traveling. many cases it takes them a long time, days and days. we thought at first that young woman, guys, was telling us quicker than poland to get in here. i spoke to someone a few minutes ago that told them took them two to three days to get. in depends on when you come and all kinds of different variables. there seems to be no formula to it. people are coming across here in slovakia by the thousands. >> brian: do you know where, connell, they go after they leave the camp? are there any type of cities or opening up hotels, being dedicated to them? >> yes. all of the above, brian. all of the above. so, there is actually a tent, we were showing you these tents there are tents up the street where it literally says housing. can you read it in english. written in three different languages. you goal to that tent, volunteers waiting where through social media and other avenues they will get a host family to come in and say yeah, i will take some refugees into my home and they are mixing and matching and doing that way. mentioned another young woman had a company helping her out.

she is in a pretty good spot. the first degree way is they will just get on the bulls and go to one of the bigger cities here in slovakia, a big train station and then they filter out to other places in europe. but a lot of it, there are some large organizations, the red cross i just spoke to someone from the red cross this year. but a lot of it is really grassroots stuff. volunteers, social media, host families, jewels people stepping up and, you know, try to too it on their own. >> ainsley: it's interesting. we have a guest coming on at the end of the show who actually rented out an airbnb for a month so some of these refugees could live in that house. i know a lot of people are doing that on airbnb sights. sites.>> airbnb stepping up. americans and others that's a good way i will buy the house even though obviously i can't stay in it on the flip side of it you see airbnb stepping up in these countries to make homes

available. >> ainsley: they waived all the fees too. >> steve: all right, connell the exodus from slovakia. >> ainsley: left all their belongs at home and cross the border and bhet a warm meal. >> brian: 17 minutes after the hour. go over to carley for the other headlines. >> carley: that's right. take it interest from here. new york city is dropping indoor mask requirements for restaurants and businesses. and for school children over the age of 5, mask also still remain in place. and a variety of places. including healthcare facilities and public transsits. the city also scrapping its vaccine passport following the footsteps of other major cities including boston, philly and washington, d.c. progressives are reportedly preparing a 7-figure budget to promote the confirmation of supreme court nominee kentanji brown jackson. demand justice already announcing a $1 million ad campaign in support of jackson. that is 13% of their entire projected 2022 budget according to irs documents.

which is back in 2008. >> steve: that's the natural average. >> it is. >> steve: in los angeles right now, there are gas stations selling regular gas. >> there are. >> for seven bucks a gallon" my opinion even worse is the jump in deville prices. energy runs on deville. we now have an average price of deville $4.16 per gal ron. some of the truckers with the big rig, up to 300-gallon tanks. that means to fill up for those guys cost about 14, 1500 bucks. >> steve: oh my goodness. >> a month ago it was 1100. can you imagine that kind of cost increase. >> steve: like a big tax. >> gets factored into the inflation situation. one more for you, the price of gheeted chicago has gone up 50% since february the 24th, the day the war began. 50% that ripples out through the whole food chain. you have inflation big time and here it comes. >> sure, when people go to the grocery store and buy a loaf of

bread. they will incrementally notice the change as it goes higher and higher. then again, you have got all of those things like myelo and barley and sar gum and wheat that come from russia also go into our -- the price of beef goes up. chicken goes up. everything is going up. >> now on thursday of this week. we will get the latest consumer price index, that index will not include this weekend's energy price spiral. but it will still show inflation increasing. that gives president biden an enormous political problem. because it's his constituents feeling the brunt of what is going won inflation. >> got to wonder whether or not vladimir putin has a political problem with his people because now over the weekend it was announced that master card and visa along with american express are pulling the plug so if you are in russia, can you no longer do business with those card companies. but it sounds like they're hooking up with the chinese card

companies. >> hold on a second. they are talking about, considering russian bank hooking up with the chinese payment system. they're just talking about it it's not that easy to plug yourself into a completely different system that system is nowhere near as one as the being kicked out of russia visa and master card. >> steve: what do you think the average person on the street in moscow is thinking? something like 5,000 people were arrested over the weekend. and 49 different cities in russia antiwar protest even though vladimir putin has got a blackout on the news. people know what's going on. >> sure. they know what's happening. precisely so. russia is foonelly isolated. and it is getting worse. i think they face a depression. but they have got no way in a dictatorship of expressing their discontent. besides, russian consumers are used to be down trodden big time. putin doesn't care about the economy in russia. could care less about that. that's always been the case in russian history. i don't think they are going to

turn around. i don't think putin turns around because of the pain his own people are suffering. >> steve: we have placed 100 sanctions on him over the last 10 years. sanctions are nothing new. >> but if we sanction all of the oil and gas coming out of russia, that would hurt. that would really hurt. >> steve: of course it would cut off the supply and our prices would go up. >> it would hurt us, too. precisely. >> steve: double edged sword. joining stuart 90 minutes on fox business. varney and company 9:00 a.m. eastern. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: coming up, hear from iranian -- rather, ukrainian student in the united states who is desperate to rescue her family trapped in that war-torn country. you are watching "fox & friends." ♪

safe here in america in columbus, ohio. but your family is still there what are they saying? >> yeah. it's the last i want to say the last days have been so, so hard for me and all my fellow ukrainians and, you know, seeing my mom and seeing the fear and anger in her eyes have never been so devastating and i almost feel bad that i'm not there to help out and, you know, i just know how hard it is for everyone in ukraine and i pray every single day for everyone who is in danger right now. >> ainsley: i know you say you are very worried about your mom you fear for her life because she is a well known army volunteer. what are some of the stories she is sharing with you. >> i mean, a couple days before the invasion, she has told me that dishee talked to some of the active army members. and, you know, they have been on alert. before and they are saying, you know, this does not look good. maybe you should start packing a

little bit of your clothes and just, you know, just in case you have to get out. you know, just have that suitcase ready for you to go. and, you know, just hearing that from her, was already so, so scary, because, you know, over these last 8 years, my mom has never left my hometown of mariupol. and, you know, the attack has been going on for 8 years. so, you know, it's really bad when your mom basically packs up her clothes within two hours and gets out of town because of how bad the attack is getting. >> ainsley: they don't have any water? i'm reading some people are drinking out of the puddles on the street. they are drinking rainwater. >> yes. last time i have had contact with someone from my hometown, was on march 5th, and it was my best friend. and last thing i heard from him was a bomb exploded in the house next to his. he sent me a picture which was

given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

>> i fear that china will be emboldened by putin's invasion of ukraine.

the biden administration thought sanctions and tweets would be enough to deter but they failed to apply the kind of hard power that would have deterred putin from launching his war in the first place. if the biden administration remains wedded to this strategy, i fear deterrence will fail again in an even bigger stage, our best opportunity to deter china is by arming taiwan and arming ourselves now it just comes down to our willingness to invest in hard power as well as our willingness to abandon all this anti-america woke nonsense. >> brian: good combination. love to see both things happen. g.o.p. congressman mike gallagher warning deterrent strategy will fail in taiwan like it about d. in ukraine. here to react fox news contributor former speaker of the house author of "beyond biden" newt gingrich. do you understand gallagher and do you understand his worry about taiwan. >> exactly right on both count. if i recall, president biden first talked about the danger of

russia invading ukraine. in answer of last year so they this 10 months when they could have built under the ukrainian military, created what admiral has called a poor could you pine strategy. which is what he has recommended for taiwan. make it so powerful, so expensive to try to conquer that it's just not worth the effort. i would say one, they ought to apply that right now to taiwan and they should be rushing to taiwan all the equipment that they would try to to them later on if the economists invaded. remember, jay xi jinping. look at him in hong kong and tibet in western china with the eagers, this is a very tough guy. i think we need to prove that we're prepared to defend taiwan not just talk about it. in addition, the insanity of the biden administration first of all in allowing the russians to be involved in negotiating with

iran at a time when we are trying to isolate russia newt gingrich newt gingrich going to lead to insane deal given money by the u.s. in order to be able to pay for terrorism in the wonder where are the biden people psychologically in reality? second, why does wind want to appeal toe venezuela, which is a communist dictatorship. >> brian: terrible. >> to saudi arabia which is a monarch dictatorship. against oklahoma, pennsylvania, texas, et cetera. there is an anti american pattern to this administration that is really weird. >> brian: the pro-green stuff is killing europe. they are waking up. they are going to go nuclear and we have to let them know we will be there l and g partner. let's get together on it? >> absolutely. >> brian: i know it's bothering you as much as it is bothering most of america and the free

world to see these innocent people killed at dizzying rate. we seem helpless because we are so afraid of starting world war iii. many cases understandable. ant no-fly zone. general keith kellogg came up with this. >> i kind of understand what everybody is saying about, you know, a no-fly zone, don't want to use nato because article 5 concerns. but i have said all along, what if you made this a united nations no-fly zone? and there are ways to actually get there. you don't have to work hard diplomatically to do it. you get the whole world on you. we have got make it so hard on putin, so hard on the russians they have got stop. >> brian: what about that the feasibility of that? >> well, i mean i worry about any kind of no-fly zone because in the end, it means you are shooting down russian aircraft. and i think once you start -- we went through the whole cold war and we were pretty careful on both sides, russians didn't kill americans, americans didn't kill russians even though at the margins things went on but we never got into a direct overt

fight like that. they got 6,000 nuclear weapons. and i think it's a lot better to crowd putin day after day. i think there is a brand new book out by her man perchner called post putin and it walks through the ways in which putin could disappear. and i think the longer this fight goes on in ukraine, the weaker putin is going to get back home amazing new tweeted out of a russian pow talking about the fact that he thought they were coming to ukraine as saviors. he had no idea. i think putin is in derek and we ought to maximize the pressure on him but not do it in a way that leads to world war iii. >> brian: 7,000 russians have been arrested. 4,000 over the weekend. 4300 over the weekend protesting. imagine if they actually got the whole truth. thanks so much, newt. thanks for putting in perspective and always offering solutions. absolutely as well as on the dangers. steve. >> brian: carley shimkus has the other news.

accusing of russia of murdering civilians after an attack on sunday killed a young family as they were trying to leave the town. that is one of the many recent attacks that have left civilians and children dead. not to mention hospitals and schools bombed. >> it means that sanctions are necessary. cut off russian export, oil from russia. they shouldn't get goods and services from civilization. >> russian forces prepared to take ukraine's capital city. eric thinks i'm moving ever closer. that shelling continuing further into the center appeared with ukrainian officials saying the capital was indeed the next target. here in the capital, we've been hearing the air raid silence a few minutes ago. around the corner, there's a big plume of black smoke. no more than i would say less than a mile from where we are. certainly the sense that the

noose is tightening around this capital city. and the countdown is on until they try and take it. >> steve: absolutely. benjamin, we've been hearing about how these ukrainians from around the world have flooded back there than ever this morning, it's 140,000 ukrainians, mostly men never returned from europe to join the resistance. also, other people from other countries. the problem is now, some are being turned away, because we would love to have you, but we don't have a gun for you. >> yes, that is our problem. i think a lot of them are being repurposed. there are other jobs to do other than fighting. civil defense, setting up barriers and preparing cities. you know, there is work for many of them. it does not necessarily front lines. you mention that figure in though foreign fighters coming. 20,000 foreigners have so far joined up to, and fight here. a remarkable number. it really is galvanized the world. people wanted to come and help.

what they can do that work weapons remains to be seen. they can't put everyone on the front lines. >> brian: benjamin, what about that convoy? most people think they ran out of gas whether they were puncturing their own gas tanks, i don't know. since they are still there and it's 40 miles deep and 15-20000, what you think is happening with them? what is the best estimate of what they are up to? >> i just spoke a few minutes ago with the commander who leads to some ukrainian troops in the northwest of the city. he said that the ukrainians are continuing to it that convoy. if you put a drone out right now, you would see quite a few at the front burning. every day they continue to manage to hit them. he couldn't explain why they had moved other than to say they were just simply suffering the logistical supply issues that we keep talking about. soldiers have a low morale. in some cases, they think they

can get some of the vehicles working. he was saying it's absolutely true. the stories we are hearing suggest that they are not making progress because they can't supply it. meanwhile, we are picking it off. we, the commander -- >> brian: the good guys. >> "the good guys." optimistic look. this applies continue getting to us. there's been no difficulty in getting what we need. when every time we kill russians, more just keep going. that's the problem. they have a endless supply of people. domestic pressure builds an rationale that persuades that. for right now, he's putting forth 16-year-old kids. these guys, these ukrainians have been finding russians for the last eight years in the east, many of them. they been touring in and out. these guys are quite battled hardened. you've got a russian army that is in many cases undertrained,

undersupplied, and the young versus an army that is actually many of them have been fighting for years is well-trained and getting everything it needs from the west. >> ainsley: is so hard to look at all the images. if you imagine walking out in front of our building here on sixth avenue and seeing debris everywhere in buildings on fire, we know what it look like in lower manhattan at 9/11 but now you are seeing images with just a distraction in buildings on fire, people dead in the streets all over the country. city after city. are people hopeful? do they think that america or our western allies can negotiate with putin? there are a lot of skeptics here in america they don't believe that's even an option. >> steve: no one here thinks you can negotiate. president zelensky says it will be through negotiation. the east of ukraine. none of the negotiations they missed an agreement wherever held to.

no one things that can be achieved through negotiation. yes, you talk about the cities being demolished. two months ago with secretary blinken. this city was bustling and vibrant and young and wonderful and cafes. it was just an amazing place to be. i can tell you the shock of coming back and seeing the streets empty and demolished. it is truly tragic. it's only going to get worse. some of the images we are seeing, those cities have been raised to the ground. small villages have been raised to the ground. this is an indiscriminate war against ukraine. >> steve: benjamin, you started this report from kyiv by imagining that to your right about a mile, there was a plume of smoke. can you tell if that is from a bomb that was dropped from an airplane, probably would have been more plumes of smoke or is that just people on the ground -- how do you explain what that is?

>> there is no doubt that's an attack. that's not just a fire. you do occasionally hear the thud of artillery. it hasn't come right into the center yet. putin's forces have been taking out critical infrastructure. this is only started the last 1. we are trying to figure out what is out there. there's a big complex of buildings. up there. we are going to see if there's anything strategic. it is just a reminder that it is inching, inching ever closer to where we are into all the people who are still stuck a. >> steve: as grim as it may sound, they are. holding out fighting so fiercely, taking that whole image of this monster russian bear army that is impossible to stop, they are looking more more like a paper tiger. there's a story in "the wall street journal" that the general seems to be paying the price. he is the one who assured vladimir putin this would be easy. we are walk right through the

ukrainians. how could they have been so wrong, benjamin? >> steve: it's remarkable. they have held their military drills year in and year out to planning for this kind of invasion. everyone thought they had been using their dollars to build up an incredible force. you look at chechnya. you look at georgia pretty look at the attacks in the east year. they were shown to be lacking. back then, they were not terribly successful and they threw the full force of their army and armed forces watches why they rigidly won. everyone seeing that they'd seen spending money improving their military predicted on the number of soldiers so they could train up soldiers to a higher level. none of that is actually turned out to be true. you see the pictures in the video so that thanks in the artillery and the armed vehicles. they are old. they are resting. where is modern military that everyone feared? merit is gone, -- right now we are not seeing it.

we are seeing the numbers. that is what russia can rely on. >> ainsley: it we down nine of those aircraft -- i say we, ukrainians, because we support them. the pilots were tied up with her hands behind their back to one of them said i was distorted to fly here at he was on a rescue mission, he thought. another one said he was not told anything about his mission. thank you. >> yeah, thank you. i've got a colleague who is embedded in the russian forces in the east of this country. he said that when news broke out that russia had launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine they were horrified. these were people in the army. they certainly didn't see this coming. this is not what they signed up for. >> steve: is he around? can we talk to him? >> we will definitely be in touch with them. >> steve: benjamin, thank you very much. stay safe. >> ainsley: --

>> steve: absolutely. putin doesn't want people know what's actually happening. i was talking to retired admiral james earlier about what the ukrainians are doing with the aid we are sending them. to try to fight the russians. watch this. >> we are playing a catch-up game. it's gone pretty well. $350 million -- this is urban warfare. this is -- the russians are going to get bogged down. every ukrainians got a molotov cocktail on his balcony. every ukrainian if they want one has been issued -- how ironic is that? they are going to fight. they have been fighting. causing a lot of damage grid is not going to be easy for the russians was the establish a beachhead if, in fact, they can do that. >> brian: former nato commander based in italy. he focused in 2014 the russians

kind of wiped out the ukrainian navy. they were sharing a base rate they off crimea and they just wiped them out. they urged everybody. let's replenish the navy and they didn't. let's go make sure that these are armed. the russians are going to continue their force. they didn't. today, there's a great fear that they resort town of odesa is going to get rated and they will start moving in with an amphibious assault. he doesn't think there's much ukrainian resistance there. if they move past -- they are having trouble they are prettily already have kherson. if they go take odesa, there's going to be real trouble. they will be a landlocked country. >> ainsley: record high in february producing gas prices go up. what's ironic is we are helping ukraine by sending over weapons and humanitarian aid. we are also helping putin.

we are financing putin's war. billions of dollars are flowing into russia daily. we are making him very rich. we buy the most amount of oil from russia. >> brian: 600 million barrels plus. >> ainsley: if we were energy independent, we would have lower prices on everything good we would have high-paying jobs in the energy sector. instead, we are begging russia, a country who hates us for oil. >> steve: because, at this point, the administration is sanctioning everything coming out of russia except oil. and if you notice the futures are way down today. because apparently, the administration is now thinking of ways to ban russian energy exports. and what that means is, then there would be a shortage in europe for the most part because russia is europe's gas gauge. it would take a little while. also, liquid natural gas will be

great but we don't really have the infrastructure to get it there. what they are saying today in "the wall street journal," liquid natural gas would be great for europe to fill the hole that russia is cut off. but it is very expensive at this point. that is why elon musk, the richest guy on the planet is talking about how we've got to increase oil production here in the united states, which is delicious irony given the fact that he owns tesla. he also says that there are 120 mothballed nuclear plants in europe. bring them back up. it turned those things back on. suddenly, europe would not have to be beholden to russia. because right now they are. just turn them on. flip the switch. >> brian: russia said we don't want those nuclear power plants get swamped like they would in japan. they just moved away from it and they got more dependent on russian oil and gas. it made no sense.

norm stream 2 getting online and joe biden basically lied to us said that it's impossible to stop it. and really do anything. the germans did something after the invasion. they said we are going to not do it. even the liberal media is baffled that president biden's reluctance to shut down russian oil. speaker pelosi over the weekend. senator said not only should we stop it, we should drill here at home. these people come out and say things like i want to stop getting russian oil but i don't want to replace it with ours. that's not really good for the earth. i would like to use long island's town wind. that's really going to help us when it comes to immediately impacting the price of oil that makes absolutely no sense. we are actually calling venezuela, that horrible terrorist country, venezuela and asking them to backstop us. the president's got a trip to saudi arabia plan. it's going to ask them to

continue to pump oil. why can't we it? we do it more responsibly than anyone else on the planet. >> ainsley: we are going to use it anyway. we met as well use it -- make our own. don't buy it from russia who is our enemy. gas prices are through the roof. one gas station in l.a., almost $7 a gallon. that's a regular unleaded. a year ago it was $2.77. one week ago, $3.61. guess what it is today. $4.07. >> steve: as the national average in the price of wheat has doubled in the last 20 days. senator joe manchin of the energy producing west virginia had this observation about banning russian oil. >> people in my state of west virginia believe it is foolish to buy to be able to use against their kenyan people. we have the energy. we have the resources here. we have the technology.

we don't have to put any more pain on the american people that are already suffering with inflation now. >> ainsley: he's a democrat. >> brian: he is an american. he says i want to give up russian oil. chuck schumer to his credit as helping to do make sure that deal gets through where the ukrainian fighters get the f-16s. we don't have any laying around right now. >> ainsley: we are not sending it directly into war in ukraine. in poland, and we ship our f-16s over to poland. >> steve: to teach them how to fly. >> brian: know how because they've been trained. they joint work with us in afghanistan and iraq. 16 minutes after the hour. the war in ukraine, bengals tight end drew sample and his wife. >> steve: most of her family is stuck in the country, and they are looking for a way out. a safe way.

>> ainsley: they join us now. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. thanks for having us. >> ainsley: we're so sorry that your family is still there in ukraine. tell us he was there and what they are going through. >> so my mom's sister, my mom's parents, her entire family, her kids, and then my dad's out of the family, his mom, his brothers, their family are all still in the ukraine. >> steve: you particularly want to get your 7-year-old grandparents out. it describes what life is like for them. they hear the siren, what do they do? >> so my grandmother, my dad's mom, she lives in the village. have as many basements and what they do have is a little bit more crude. just for storing their cans the winter. so it is definitely cold. it's winter here. it has snowed there in the last

couple of days. the conditions are pretty miserable for a 76-year-old woman to be hiding in a basement at her age is just dangerous for her to even get in and out. but to be in her house is even more dangerous with air raid sirens going out. >> what have you been to try to use the leverage of powers being an influential athlete like yourself and the most powerful league in our country to be able to use some of that influence to try to get some answers? >> yeah, i mean we have been doing, you know, what if we can. obviously, we understand there's a lot of people that are similar so situation. how hard it has been on these people. for us, it has been hard because there's really no good answers. you know, the ukrainians are proud people. for her family without any concrete plan of what could happen when they leave the country, they really don't want to leave. we are really their only other families in the united states. even if they flee to these other

countries boarding ukraine, they are not leaving it to anything better. there's a lot of refugees. there's no want to stay with. they don't have any family. for us, we've been trying to see if there's anything we can do to set up a plan where we can get them to us so they feel comfortable leaving. it's obviously dangerous for them. many of the unknown they're at least being at home is for them right now better than the unknowns in a different country where they don't know anybody. >> ainsley: i hear the u.s. visa process could take months to get an interview to get them to come over. i know you have an aunt and uncle. they are first responders over there. your two cousins and one just turned 18. he might have to pick up again and fight. >> yeah, that is pretty true for a lot of young men in the country who we are so lucky we haven't had to worry about a world war or the draft. and now that's coming in --

a lot who have never held a weapon know how to potentially go fight in the army. -- >> we hear so almost out of touch year. we watch it on the news, but by me to let you know, just be putting my girls down for a nap in the afternoon and i want to call my grandpa. i called him up on the phone when the answer it, and they are sitting in the dark in the basement. what's going on? >> brian: there are some private groups out there that can help. i'm sure they will reach out to you. things were telling your story. >> ainsley: y'all are a beautiful couple. thanks for coming on. >> brian: 20 minutes after the hour, the biden administration considers banning russian oil. did the push to go green enable

putin to invade ukraine? we will discuss it in detail next. why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's slider sunday! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! these chicken parm sliders on king's hawaiian rolls are fire! slider sunday! i want that. everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. mmm! out here, you're a landowner, everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. a gardener, a landscaper

of that is the last thing you need. >> brian: 26 minutes after the hour. growing calls for -- as a war crime, ukrainians join us live up to make in their case to secretary blinken. >> what we are asking american people, american congress, please provide military assistance. please provide protect our sky. d with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. 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. ♪

>> steve: secretary of state antony blinken confirm the united states is looking into incredible reports of russian war crimes this weekend. >> we have seen very critical reports of deliberate attacks on civilians which would -- a war crime. these are very credible. >> steve: our next guest actually met with the secretary by lives on poland on saturday. the former chair of the affairs committee in the ukrainian parliament. the executive director of the

anticorruption action center in kyiv. and on the board of directors, they all join us from poland. good afternoon, ladies. why did you tell her secretary of state yesterday? >> well, i told secretary of state that he knows need for our fighting corruption. last night of organization and the rule of law. i told him that now ukraine has been executed for these reforms. that rash is actually punishing ukrainian people by eliminating ukrainians, by conducting against ukrainians for actually believing in democracy. i told him that i don't believe in rule of law anymore if america will not help us now

with protecting our sky from russian bombs. and i don't get it. i don't understand american g and nato of not providing weapons and antiair defense missiles. antimissile's air defense systems. i can under stand why it is so high. >> what did you tell tony blinken? >> antony blinken mention the u.s. is not ready to support ukraine now. then went to see the same story with you felt like afghanistan. i told him don't compare ukrainians in afghanistan. it's not fair. it is in kyiv. the mayor in kyiv. members of parliament, they are all in kyiv. they are defending our country. actually, the fighting spirit of our nation is so higher. we will defeat russia.

we ask american leadership, don't be afraid. help us, because america was promised ukraine when they give up with the nuclear power to protect us. i now write a letter to president biden, because i met him the first time in 2014 after the revolution. and at that time, he told me that the u.s. and is very thankful for a building in ukraine. and what is going now? our civilization to build a new ukraine. >> steve: i know that one of the things that's going on right now is the ukraine and russia were supposed to show up at the world court. ukraine showed up, but russia did not. your people made the case that my vladimir putin is doing is genocide and war crimes and

millions are in danger. while it could be binding legally, nobody if their world court says okay, vladimir putin's got to stop him, you've got to stop, no one's going to stop him. >> actually, the fact is that putin most when he is stopped. if we are hearing from the whole world that we condemn the actions of vladimir putin, vladimir putin, please stop doing this, and will work this way. because what we're seeing right now and that civilians and sufferers, kids and suffers, kids are dying. civilians from the besieged towns, they are simply shallow. they are sinking bombs. vladimir putin will be stopped by the force. vladimir putin will be stopped by the strength. this strength means investing in

ukraine's defense. in this strength, ukrainian military managed to stop and to repel the aggression. one of the largest armies in the world. on the land, on the ground, ukrainian army is doing miracles. ukrainian civilians with the ukrainian resistance movements making molotov cocktails stopping russian tanks barehanded. they are doing really truly miraculous things. but we need our sky to be protected. because even cyber and not stop bombs and missiles which are falling on the heads of ukrainian civilians. that is why we critical, we demand all the nato countries to provide ukraine as soon as possible with the air and missile defense with the jets, with the drones, with everything which might protect ukraine from the skies.

at this point, ukrainian military will be able to stop putin on the ground. >> steve: all three of you made your case to the secretary of state over the weekend in poland and just made the case right here on "fox & friends." thank you very much for joining us today from poland. god bless you and good luck. >> thank you. >> steve: still had on this monday, gas prices surge era known. even though media are questioning why the white house hasn't yet banned russian oil. >> all of the sanctions that have been imposed and they have been unprecedented on russia to sanction everything about that thing that drives their economy. >> steve: dan agrees completely. he's coming up next. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years of active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served, they'e been in leadership positions, they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary

and they come to us and they say, "i need some financial help at this point in time." they're not looking for a hand out, they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan.

>> ainsley: as gas prices surge to the highest in over a decade, even the media is babbled on white on white house is sanctioning everything but russian oil. >> the question of banning the import of oil and gas from russia, you know, it is not insignificant. we actually take in more petroleum from russia than we do from saudi arabia. it's extraordinary. for all of the sanctions that have been imposed. and they have been unprecedented on russia to sanction everything but the thing that drives their economy. >> then, the numbers don't lie. it does kind of make your head spin to see how many people agree with us. >> i'm going to take a big juicy fat hard pass on anyone in the left. sorry, guys. really, just now coming out, oh, my gosh. we get 8% of our oil from russia. that's 8 million barrels a day they are exporting.

putin's a pretty bad guy. this is one of those back to the future hello mcfly moments. all of a sudden, you just figure this out. really, i include the left-wing media in the whole leftist activist cabal because they are not serious media people. really, brian, they should said this when out and go sit in the corner with a dunce cap on. this is the same party for decades by the way. "the new york times" and others that were soviet apologists. this is the same party that that it would be a good idea given the glowing, growing global threat to sequester our military. this is the same party that thinks it's a good idea to buy my 8% of our oil from a mad man in russia why we are floating on a sea of petrochemicals in the united states. we could be the energy capital of the cosmos. i'm really sorry again. they have no seat at the table now. you know, the fact that they also were the same people

invented the whole collusion hoax which made vladimir putin and his foreign policy analysts laugh at us, made as an international laughingstock. all of a sudden, we are supposed to take your opinion seriously about the ukraine russia crisis. you can all sit this one out. we would never be in this crisis if he would have built up our military and in the world's leading exporter of oil for everyone. we would never be in this spot now. yeah, they can sit this one out. i'm not interested in their opinion. >> brian: weekend for field at 7% immediately. >> ainsley: joe biden sign i got rid of the keystone pipeline on day one. they are saying stop buying oil from gas. he quoted john mccain is said it was a gas station. masquerading as a country which is a great line. as a new report out this morning on yahoo news that oil traders are betting that price will pass $200 a barrel this month alone. right now it is $130 a barrel. >> brian: i was getting gas at a local station.

i kid you not. it is not one of the stories you tell for tv. on my life this happen. they guy right next to me, you can't see because the pump is in the way. the guys filling it up and is on the phone. i don't know who's talking to. he said i don't know how long i can continue to do this. as he is watching the thing to come. this is happening -- i swear again on my life that happen. i'm thinking to myself, i grew up very middle-class even on the lower end of middle cross. i can handle it. i don't want to handle it. it's the middle class and then lower people in the income scale you are getting hammered. the fact that the american left, guys come off of most exclusively got us in the spot where we painted ourselves in. they will never have to apologize not one bit. the media will find anyway to blame anyone but themselves or the leftist activist community that put us on this soul. >> given the fact that this is

an election year, at some point, you know, now gases national average of $4 a gallon. if he gets to $5 or $6 a gallon, at some point, joe biden is going to have to talk to the american people and say, you know what? we are going to have to revisit our pipeline situation because the decision is made at the beginning of the administration no longer appropriate given the fact that we were relined so much on soviet gas or rather russian oil. >> you are such an optimistic god. i'm telling you, that's not going to happen. right now given our present pipeline infrastructure capability, we can probably do 1.5 million more day of joe biden where to change course. without building without finishing keystone, without onshore domestic garments, there is no way we are going to replace the 8 million barrels a day. there is no way. joe biden does not have the

intestinal fortitude to stand up to the aoc wing of his party and say i'm going to do a build out of our infrastructure. he's not going to do it. he doesn't have the guts. >> brian: senator murphy says he's going to get wind from the long island to help us. >> good luck with that. go to martha's vineyard next. >> that's obama. he's out there now. >> it ruins his point of view. all right, thank you very much for joining us with a gas report from stuart, florida. all right, meanwhile out on the streets, a new friend. >> what's your name? >> adam. >> where you from? what's the weather right now in new york? >> mostly sunny and pretty warm. >> there is dad making sure everyone sees it at home. let's take a look at the maps. 58 in new york. it's mostly warm bubbly on the cold front is mostly cold. that's why we have the potential from some severe storm stretching from the southeast

>> ainsley: as the war rages on in ukraine, our next guest turn to airbnb buckingham month long stay in kyiv with no plans to check in as a way to send

money immediately to those who need a place to stay. in tampa, florida. good morning to you. it's so nice of you to do that. >> good morning, thank you. >> ainsley: what made you want to do that? >> obviously, the war in ukraine is the hearts of everybody's discussion. airbnb business down here. we donate already to organizations. we have a discussion the other night about what's happening there. the topic just led to the war in ukraine on airbnb. we went online right away. we saw the airbnb had waived all their hosting fees. i figured, hang on. if someone booked with an airbnb with me and i could get paid right away, here's a way of getting money to folks instantly. so i went online and picked a random airbnb's day and excursion or an experience and just booked them and the money

went straight to these folks hands. i started a dialogue with them to find out who they are and where they are going what's happening there. everybody wants to try and help. i think it's a great way of that the individuals themselves to standing up to putin's what's going on. here's a way instead of going down to a great organization like the red cross and omitting your money is going to take a while to filter through. here's a way of instantly getting money to folks who are in need. >> it is such a great idea. you've been in touch with the family. first of all, how did you choose the family? do they have that option? what are the family say? >> don't know, i just randomly picked up an airbnb stay. this is as good as anyone. so, yeah, you know, for them, they have moved out of kyiv and they are holed up with family

about 150 miles to the west. and they said they are taking on their friends and families. the houses growing. they said there is something like 11 adults and i think six children in the house right now. trying to stay safe. they managed to get kyiv the day after the bombing started. it has been interesting to find out from boots on the ground the stuff you don't normally see in the media. for example, the fact that they are all safe and their families are safe is great for the funds are well needed which is the whole purpose of what i was doing. as much is that the russian troops are advancing on kyiv, they actually are taking out all the small villages on route, which is something i didn't realize that. also a lot of the smaller villages that are in their way that are just being flattened. so that's pretty heartbreaking to hear.

the good thing is the family at this stage is old up and stave tell mike safe. speak out they get that money directly. they can help them as they are trying to possibly escape ukraine. as ceo of airbnb. i was so impressed with lily's heart and what he's doing. 614,697 booked in ukraine. that's $1.9 million going to host in need. such a cool idea from our community. thank you for doing this for another family. god bless you. >> thank you, you're welcome. >> ainsley: more bill hemmer moments away. mer) [reading] save yourself?! money with farmers?
