also have to keep my citizens safe from a foreign war? that's what's happening in ukraine. it has been a tough couple of years with the pandemic and the economic, inflation and factors going on. what we're focused on here in the midwest and cincinnati is fighting for democracy and standing firm with our brothers and sisters in kharkiv. >> bill: i like your position. thank you for coming back. >> dana: harris faulkner is next. here she is. >> harris: you hear in the distance there explosions just outside of the capital city. the air raid sirens were going off as well a short time ago. putin's terrorists are closing in on ukraine's capital. people finding routes to get out of kyiv safely are finding that those routes are evaporating. and as they try to run, russian forces fire indiscriminately on them, their homes, everything.

the water cut off. no food, electricity, heat, nowhere to be found. they are suffering. i'm harris faulkner and are you in "the faulkner focus". president biden says he is bringing more pain to putin with his ban on russian oil and other energy imports. ukrainian president zelenskyy thanking the president in a tweet and imploring others to follow suit. now the white house is facing even more pressure to unleash domestic production here in america to offset the deficit. you know he can do it. you know we can do it. he won't do it. it is political. the administration is turning to countries, not friends, venezuela, iran, saudi arabia to fill the void. and there are plenty of biden critics. >> he doesn't want american oil, he doesn't want canadian oil, but he is talking about

venezuela oil? who in their right mind is thinking like this? this is outrageous but becoming an insult. why outsource this, for god sakes, to iran or to venezuela? >> we're out bargaining with madmen. it is in the u.s. worst interest to be sitting down with venezuela, to be sitting down with iran when the fact of the matter is the answer is right here right in front of us. >> harris: fox team coverage trey yingst live on the ground in kyiv. in "focus" mike gallagher republican congressman, armed service committee member, iraq war veteran. we begin, though, with white house correspondent peter doocy on the north lawn. the pressure is on the president now. peter. >> and if you are looking for good news about gas prices, don't look here.

>> president biden: they're going to go up. can't do much right now. russia is responsible. >> can't do much right now but that's not what he said only hours earlier. >> president biden: i'm going to do everything i can to minimize putin's price hike at home. >> the house confirms reports that part of their conversations with saudi arabia are about asking the saudis to pump more oil out of the ground. but the white house strongly denies reports that the saudis and uae are letting it ring when biden calls. a spokesperson for the national security council says it's a mischaracterization and does not reflect reality. no rebuffed calls. president biden spoke with the king salman on february 9th and where they discussed a wide range of issues in our affirmative agenda. no requests for calls since that conversation. likewise with the uae. biden officials keep telling us there are unused oil leases

state side but oil-producing states and oil companies are complaining their hands are tied by new regulations and they are just asking the president to cut red tape. >> let's get as much energy online as possible now and make this a national security issue not just for us but for our allies as well. include renewables. we're not against renewables. >> we do expect to see the president early this afternoon at an event about fixing the supply chain. harris. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. we're going to get into more on this with mike sommers, the president and ceo of the american petroleum institute in "focus" bottom of the hour. russian forces advancing toward kyiv. you can hear it in the distance. east of the capital people are getting hit hard in the city of

sumy. efforts there underway as housing complexes targeted in russian air strikes have killed at least 20 people. hard to get a true count because you have to get in there. russia has taken control of three ukrainian nuclear power plants including chernobyl. the power there is off sparking radiation fears. despite russia's advances a top u.s. intelligence official with this. >> are you able to say in open session how many russian troops have been killed? >> with low confidence somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000. that number comes from some intelligence sources but also open source and how we pull that together. >> harris: pentagon, however, warns despite strong ukrainian resistance, russia still has 95% of its combat power. let's do the math on that. 95% of 150,000 or more they

have plenty to fight. trey yingst live in kyiv. trey. >> good morning. we start with some new video into fox news. according to ukrainian president zelenskyy, this video shows a maternity hospital in the southern town of mariupol that took a direct hit from russian forces. you can see the complete destruction here. i want to read to you a tweet by the ukrainian president. he says people, children are under the wreckage. he calls it an atrocity how much longer will the world ignore terror? close the sky now, stop the killings. you have the power but seem to be losing humanity. the destruction here if there were indeed civilians and people under this rubble is significance. family members and innocent people caught amid the crossfire of this conflict. it comes as russian forces say they are not targeting civilian areas and allowing evacuations from five different locations

they claim today. one of those locations, the port city of mariupol with a population of 400,000 people. this also comes amid some other concerning news. the ukrainians say russian forces have disconnected the chernobyl nuclear plant from the power grid. while emergency generators are turned on one ukrainian member of parliament called it a dangerous situation adding if russia will not cease-fire they expect radiation leaks. nuclear power operator added wind could carry radioactive substances the other parts of europe. the international you atomic energy agency says they see no critical impact on safety at this point. ukrainian people prepare for bloodier days ahead. look. >> we are going to fight for our country, as i said. we'll fight for our values. it is necessary for all of us. >> ukrainians are working

around the clock to fortify the capital of kyiv. sandbags in roads and using hedge hogs to block the streets ahead of a possible russian advance on the city. using donated steel, artisan keefshs are welding hedge hogs making 40 of them each day but plan to increase production as russian tanks and trucks get closer. >> you can see these boys working all together. it is all volunteers. some of them didn't know how to work with steel and we taught them. >> everyone in kyiv is helping where they can. this isn't just a city. this is home for nearly 3 million people. >> i'm living here starting from 7 years old. i grew up here and got married here. i think most of us will stand until the end. >> following that last interview we saw ukraine's air defense system active. russian forces continue to target this city from the ground and the air but the majority of their troops remain just outside the city limits. >> harris: before i let you go,

we have an idea of them moving closer, the russian forces, and the percentage of them potentially that would still be available to putin to fight. do we have an idea of how many civilians out of those three million are still in kyiv? >> yeah, the mayor says about 2/3 of the civilians who reside here are still in the city. so while a million have been able to get west to safety or other rural areas of ukraine, we have a significant population center remaining and that's part of the reason you saw those barricades in the streets. every block when we were out today we were stopped by ukrainian soldiers and asked for documents. the only way to distinguish who is who in the city look at the arm bands. yellow tape means they're ukrainian. white would mean they're russian. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. congressman mike gallagher, republican from wisconsin, member of the armed services committee and an iraq war veteran in "focus" now. thank you for being with me.

you heard those numbers and how many civilians were left in the capital of kyiv. putin is now from our own u.s. intelligence going to do anything to take that city. >> well, thousands and thousands of ukrainians are still in a very precarious position. we tried to get precise estimate yesterday in open testimony and classified testimony. the honest answer is we don't know. i think it should be a reminder that we are still in the very early stages of this and though the ukrainians have put up an incredibly brave resistance, the russian military throughout its modern history has proven quite good at absorbing losses and moving forward. putin is a kgb thugs who thinks human life is cheap. so this idea that the biden administration is going around already touting this as a success is premature and even in the best case scenario, if ukrainians maintain their brave resistance, the fact is deterrents failed in this case. we failed to deter putin

because we relied solely on sanctions and tweets. we did not put hard power, sufficient hard power in his path. we need to understand that. we need to understand why we delayed lethal assistance to ukraine and why we abandoned the black si and launched the war on american energy that was a gift to putin. if we don't learn the lessons from that failure we're doomed to repeat it in other parts of the world. china will take advantage of us while we're distracted and weak and too preoccupied with woke domestic priorities. this is an important issue. we want to do everything we can to support people of ukraine but also learn the right lessons of deterrence failure for future conflict. >> harris: former warrior yourself. i am curious to know what it would take to get putin to hold a cease-fire. president zelenskyy of ukraine has agreed to some sort of cease-fire with the russian military. i don't know how that works out when none of them are holding and this one is supposed to

hold for 12 hours. >> well, a few things. first we have to maintain this increase and expedited stream of lethal assistance. there are still missile systems, body armor, sniper rifles the ukrainians need. without that hard power on the ground the ukrainians don't have a good negotiating position. we're doing a ban on russian oil. as we do the global economic war against putin which i support, we cannot maintain the war on domestic american oil and gas production. that is the fatal flaw in our approach right now. the president has gone around the world begging venezuela and iran to produce. you know where he isn't going? here. we've had sanctions on our own domestic producers for the pass years and need to lift the sanctions on american oil and gas and how you undermine putin over the long term by unleashing the power of

american energy. >> harris: i saw what you did there. you tied in where you are exactly in this moment with what we can do about oil. it also sends that message to putin is they are willing to suffer in order for something to change. does that make that country, meaning america, look a little more unpredictable, which that's what we need in this instance. we have a president who forecasts everything he is not going to do and do. we don't have the leverage of surprise. you mention russian oil and i want to get into it more now. some of the republicans are accusing president biden's reversal on russian oil of being a political ploy. the president is taking a lot of heat for this. let's watch together. >> it is going to go up. can't do much right now. russia is responsible. >> harris: congressman gallagher you told us what all can be done at this point.

the president actually thinks only putin is to blame for the spike in gas prices. the numbers tell a very different story on the big wall now. since the day biden took office americans have been paying $1.83 more for a gallon of regular unleaded gas. democrats don't seem concerned about how much pain americans actually feel. let's watch together. >> what's the reaction of your colleagues to things like diplomatic outreach to countries like venezuela and saudi arabia in terms of increasing the global oil supply? >> that issue hasn't come up. increasing the global oil supply at the moment to the extent that there are implications, particularly for europe, which is more heavely reliant on russian oil than we are in the united states of america, you know, is an important discussion. >> harris: it's like watching somebody throw a sponge at the wall and missing the wall. there is such a disconnect.

why? >> well, gas prices were skyrocketing prior to the outbreak of war in ukraine. for the president to blame it on putin's invasion, which has contributed to the energy crisis, but the crisis pre-dates the invasion and the fact is the fact is on day one when biden took office he launched war on domestic production. canceled the pipeline. put in radicals and democratic donors on wall street launched a global esc campaign which made investing in energy in america toxic. very counterproductive and driving prices and putting us in a weak geopolitical position. harris, if you add onto to absurdity with russia the fact this administration is contemplating reviving the iran deal. they may say we need to bring iranian crude into the

international market. don't think about they're close to getting a nuclear weapon and they win in the deal and russia wins and china wins in an iran deal. it makes no sense. the administration is being held hostage by the climate change lobby led by the high priest of climb all change john kerry and it is undermining our national security. >> harris: i don't understand how they could be more frightening than a mad man who is literally razing and entire country. how can the politics of the far left be more frightening than that? backbone, imagination we've had guests say it. representative gallagher always great to have you if "focus." thank you. energy executives in this nation pushing back on president biden for putting blame on them when it comes to oil prices. if you feel pain at the pump

point your finger to them. we'll get into it with the head of the american petroleum institute. he has a lot to say. and this. >> putin is unpredictable. he is going to look for some kind of off ramp soon. it doesn't seem to be in his nature. it is hard to imagine he will accept less than half a loaf right now. >> harris: we don't have an idea what's in a kgb agent's nature other than killing. that's what we know. experts say putin is going all scorched earth on this and will now do anything to get ukraine to bend to him. lieutenant general keith kellogg in "focus" next. no one deserves the american dream of homeownership more than veterans. with the newday zero down home purchase loan, you can buy a home with no down payment. and they're still holding rates in the 2s. already own a home and need cash? the newday100 loan can get you up

>> putin feels aggrieved the west doesn't give him proper deference and perceives he can't lose. >> he is determined to dominate and control ukraine, to shape its orientation. he has been stewing in a combustible combination of grievance and ambition for many years. >> harris: we're watching some of that intel community testifying on capitol hill from yesterday. they told us that putin is growing more desperate and predicting that he will double down on his brutal assault. in other words, do whatever it takes to get a win. ukrainians on the ground report continuous shelling, further complicating their efforts to get out. mike tobin is leave in lviv, ukraine. i was reading late last night the mayor of lviv is saying they're at capacity for all the people who have gone there to wait until they can cross the border. >> this town is really stressed in terms of resources and just

fluidly getting people in and out of this town. i'll start you out with some of the refugees coming. a bright spot in dark times. one of the humanitarian corridors worked in sumy near the russian border near kharkiv. the university there and a group of international students that had been pinned down since the start of the fighting, there was a brief cease-fire in the international students made a break for it making it all the way here to the western part of the country today. >> it is crazy. explosions every day. armed men around you. it is not really the best sight for anybody especially for someone who just came to study and do something good in their life. >> there was an explosion, a loud one close to where we stayed. it was terrifying. everybody was paranoid. we are happy we are finally out of the city.

>> no plans for what they are going to do next or where they are going to go. just get some rest. meantime you have foreign fighters showing up here to join the resistance. it gets complicated when you think of the former soviet state georgia. its leadership is allied with vladimir putin. the opposition, some of them are joining the resistance. >> at a secret location in ukraine volunteers with the georgia international legion train to join the fight. they believe if russia takes ukraine, all former soviet states are at risk. >> this is one angry, crazy man putin. >> their trainers include a u.s. combat veteran. >> these men have the will to fight and we'll teach them as much as we can in as little time as we can to kill anyone who is trying to kill ukrainians. >> they're ready to fight and

give their lives on soil that is no georgia. >> i am ready for any consequence. we are coming here for fight. this is not only ukraine. this is for georgia. >> and this is a very secretive group. they do technical military drills while training but only let us shoot the digging. >> harris: you started with a bright ray of life and hope even just a few people. talk to me about maintaining that corridor in sumy for people to be able to get out. those university students, how long did that last? >> you know, it wasn't really clear how long it was but they made it all the way to a town about an hour and a half south and able to catch the train to kyiv. in kyiv you have the chaos but effective train system that got them to the lviv. >> dana: a blessing in all of this. thank you for showing us the

georgia soldiers. >> harris: israeli officials now saying ukrainian president zelenskyy is facing no good options. number one, accept the russian proposal which is very tough but preserves ukraine's sovereignty. number two, reject the offer and risk a massive escalation of putin's violence. putin's demands include ukraine must cease all military action. amend the ukraine constitution to enshrine neutrality. acknowledge crimea as russian territory and recognize donetsk and luhansk as indid you pen den states. >> he wants to overturn the entire post world war ii order. his hatred for the united

states drives his foreign policy. he wants the world not based on values of freedom and democracy but on dictatorship on a world where might beats right. >> harris: a report from the dni from before the war began found that putin does not want a direct conflict with the united states and that moscow wants u.s. recognition of its claimed sphere of influence over much of the former soviet union. she was just mentioning some of that. lieutenant general keith kellogg, former national security advisor and fox news contributor is in "focus" now. general, thank you for being here today. let's start with this idea of neutrality. i'm confused. i think they may already be there. that means that putin doesn't want ukraine to be able to join nato or e.u. but he has already said look, if you help this country, he will consider it an act of war. so what's the difference? >> yeah. harris, thanks for having me. look, i may be the contrarian

here but i think that zelenskyy is actually winning this fight. putin is losing the information war and losing the diplomatic war. he is losing the economic war and if this was a prize fight right now i would say he is behind on points. it remind me art imitates life and i remember the rocky movie in the 15th round when rocky is looking at creed and says come on, come on. what putin doesn't want to do and forced into it. he will have to assault kyiv. kyiv is a city now of two million people. used to be three million. 2,000 year old city. he will have to go in and street by street fighting. he committed over 90% of his combat forces. this was a city that air chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said would fall in the first three days. if he goes into city it will eat up his forces. he is not only an international pariah now but become a war criminal if he does that. zelenskyy is actually in a pretty good position to dictate

terms to the russians. now he may say neutrality okay but he can push back pretty hard. this is very similar to what happened in 1939 and 1940 when the russians invaded finland. eventually they had to do a peace treaty in moscow and the finns did well. you are looking at what happens with the russians. they aren't performing well. the entire world is seeing that. the military forces are having difficulty in the east. >> harris: you're right. you are seeing that zelenskyy has that bit of leverage as something we're not hearing enough of and that is really important information. it may speak to the issue of why he is so confident to go back to his office to work. it is not over yet. you know, you mentioned what happened in 1939. what happened to the russian fighting forces? what is going on today in 2022 that they look like this

150,000 strong? >> that's a great question. they went through a huge modernization plan, the russians did. here is what they forgot to modernize. leadership capability and how they fight. they do not fight well at the joint and combined level. it is independent forces. they call them battalion tactical groups. they don't fight well in combined arms. when you look at nato, nato should be going oh, these guys would be easy for us to take. i think putin is seeing this. the reason he is nervous and that's the reason why he is pushing peace talks between bennett from israel and you've got macron and franz and sholts from germany. putin is getting backed into a corner. every day that zelenskyy survives and every day they cannot decapitate the government is a loss for putin. and this is really playing bad for him. >> harris: quickly, general, no

fly zone ever on the table? i know the president took it off, his administration had. wished they hadn't talked about it. >> i don't think you need one, harris. right now one, if you give them the jets from poland the mig 29s, there are 29 of them. you don't need a no fly zone and they can do their own. it is even in the air war. they aren't losing it. it is even. i think right now you don't need one to go forward so i would say you don't want nato to put a no fly zone up now. >> harris: should we be part of what poland does in terms of the migs? >> absolutely. there has to be a way. nato bread aircraft. i can give you creative ways how to use the aircraft. there has to be some way that we can get those aircraft transferred to ukraine. they're fourth generation aircraft. top of the line. there is equivalent to our f-15. a good airplane. used the flying them and figure out a way to get it to them.

>> harris: i trust you when you say you can get a number of ways. i trust the generals in afghanistan before we exited there who gave the president a lot of ways. i just wonder what he listens to because we legitimately are running out of time. general keith kellogg, always great to have you in "focus." your time and expertise, thank you. >> thanks. >> harris: republicans say the president's ban on russian oil is nothing but political theater. >> he has now realized that for him it is a political problem. that's the only thing that has changed between day one of the war and today is that it became a news cycle problem for him. >> harris: a lot of americans support it. what they didn't count on was how the president and politics might be used in it. plus what the energy sector says biden is getting wrong as he points the finger at them when it comes to rising gas and oil prices. american petroleum institute

ceo mike sommers in "focus" next.

>> president biden: in the united states, 90 percent -- of the remaining 10% it occurs on federal land the oil and gas industry has millions of acres leased. they have 9,000 permits to drill now. they could be drilling right now. >> we're one of the largest producers with a strong domestic oil and gas industry. there are 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used. so the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate. >> harris: you saw that, right? in their few minutes long announcements and briefings on the fact the u.s. will no longer get oil and energy sources from russia both president biden and white house press secretary went after u.s.

oil companies for any surges in energy prices. a new piece from the "wall street journal" editorial board says this. talk about a misdirection play. it is almost a miracle that any oil and gas production is occurring in america amid this political hostility. an energy expert phil flynn says it's the administration that has been standing -- has been standing in the way of more oil production. >> u.s. energy industry has been leading the biden administration on shutting down russian imports. they did it long before the biden administration said they would. so the biden administration is still behind the energy move and they are discouraging u.s. energy and gas production. >> harris: in "focus" is the president and ceo of american petroleum institute. thank you for being here today. i want to get your initial reaction to hearing the pushback that it's the oil

companies that are making the prices go up once we get off russian oil sources. >> great to be with you. of course what the biden administration is saying now is a complete red herring. they don't understand the process when it comes to leasing. it takes a long time to develop those leases and get them permitted. we're at a point now where over 2/3. the highest level in two decades. over 2/3 of leases that are out there are being developed right now. they have their facts wrong and we want to make sure we are producing as much american oil and natural gas during this time of international crisis as we can to support american consumers and of course to support world consumers during this terrible time. >> harris: you know, i want to bring this up just so that people can really understand how invested the american public is, the oil companies are. at the base of all of this we're -- a new "wall street journal" poll finds 79% of americans are in favor of a ban

on russian oil even if it increases energy prices in the u.s. just 13% said they are against it. what's your reaction to that? >> the american people know how important it is that we support the people of ukraine during this terrible time. american oil and gas companies know that, too. in fact american oil and gas companies cut off their russian imports even before this ban. eia said recently there are zero imports of russian crude into the united states last week. the only reason the united states is able to cut off russian crude coming here because we have a strong domestic supply of crude that we produce and natural gas that we produce right here at home. the issue that is going on in europe is they don't have that supply. they can't cut off russian imports into europe because they are so dependent on it. we cannot be in the pos that europe is in today and i fear

some of the policies that are being pursued right now by this administration are putting us on a road to more dependence, not independence from an energy perspective going forward. >> harris: two powerful things you said there. you have been topping off the resources so we wouldn't have to spend money on the estimated 670,000 barrels a day of crude from russia and it started last week. even before the president spoke there were things in motion, the market tairking care of itself is how i like to put it. the other thing you said that hit me there was how much domestic supply there is that we can tap into. why doesn't the white house acknowledge that first of all and why don't they use it so we don't have to beg from venezuela, iran and saudi arabia? >> the one thing that the president got right is one of the reasons why we have a strong domestic oil and gas industry is because we developed the resources mainly on private lands in this country. and that production is surging right now. in fact, the energy information

agency here with the u.s. federal government estimates that we will hit record levels of production in 2023 and we need that production online as quickly as possible. there are things this administration can do to encourage that production getting online faster. we want to make sure that we're putting those policies in front of the biden administration but so far the proposals that we've put forward have fallen on deaf ears. >> harris: i think you are talking about red tape. when i hear you say that i think about one thing, operation warp speed. come on, we can do this. we did what the rest of the world couldn't in operation warp speed and wiped away the red tape. we as americans, right? then we got vaccines. why can't we do that with oil? >> we actually have an example of it happening with oil here in the united states during world war ii. we know that we have the resources here. the american forces in world war ii and our allies were benefited by american oil that

really fueled the resistance in europe. we can do it again and we're proud to do it because the companies i represent want to step up to this moment. we want to supply the world with american natural gas and oil during this critical time. >> harris: i hope the white house and biden administration start to listen to wiping away that red tape because again -- i keep saying it -- we don't have enough time to deal with it in the slow motion that we're acting now. mike sommers, great to have you in "focus." we look forward to an update from you in the future. >> thanks, harris. >> harris: the frantic mass exodus from ukraine, civilians running for their lives and that one ray of life and hope that mike tobin gave us up in sumy some university students were able to get out in an open evacuation corridor that is now closed. more than one million refugees managed to cross into poland. we know two million or more now

have fled the country and gone to other places with a plastic bag of belongings if they were even lucky enough to have that. we'll talk with an aid worker on the ground about what the crisis looks like now. and his group and all that they are doing to make a difference. stay close. no one deserves the american dream of homeownership more than veterans. at newday, you can buy a home with no down payment. and they're holding the line on purchase loans with rates in the twos. already own a home and need cash? with the newday100 loan, you can get up to $60,000 or more and lower your payments $615 a month. no bank, no lender, no one knows veterans like newdayusa. ♪ ♪ i'm on medicare and i take medication for high blood pressure. the one prescription with the best results

>> harris: the united states and u.k. as secretary of state blinken is holding a press meeting with the u.k. foreign secretary elizabeth trust. let's watch. >> millions trying to flee prevents them from escaping. corridors leading to belarus and russia are absurd. offensive that they should seek refuge from the government that has disregard for their lives. the civilians able to escape yesterday through one of the corridors from sumy to another city in ukraine shows that this is possible but it must be allowed the happen on a much broader scale. it's not only in europe where the united states and u.k. are

working together to address threats to international peace and security. we also share a great concern about iran's nuclear advances. we discussed our work to achieve a mutual return to compliance, the iran nuclear agreement. either way, we are committed to insuring iran can never acquire a nuclear weapon. president biden is steadfast in support for the good friday agreement which he views as the historic achievement that must be protected to insure the peace, stability and prosperity of people in northern ireland. the united states continues to support both sides' efforts to engage in dialogue to resolve differences. beforehanding it over to liz, let me make one final point. it's not just the british government that is stepping up to help ukraine. we are oh seeing solidarity and compassion from the british people. people like this person leading a local campaign to buy second

hand ambulances and drive them packed with supplies to the ukraine border. people like yorkshire resident who on the second night of russia's invasion sent a message to a facebook group called polish moms of leeds appealing for donations to help people in ukraine. within days she received enough to fill three 18 wheelers. i believe one reason we're seeing such an outpouring of support from the british people is because they've been through something similar. the blitz during world war ii inflicted great suffering on the country's people killing more than 60,000 and wounding 86,000 more. it's impossible to see the images of people seeking refuge in kyiv's metro in 2022 and not think of those who sheltered in the london underground in 1942. the grit, compassion and

determination british exhibited that inspired the world is what we see in the people of ukraine today and it is why we need to stand with them. with that, liz, over to you. >> thank you very much, tony. it's great to be here with my friend and ally secretary blinken and we've certainly seen lots of each other around the capitals of europe over the last week working very closely with our allies. putin's illegal invasion of ukraine is causing immense pain and suffering. yet he is not making the progress he planned. since the build-up on the border, the united kingdom and the united states have led work in the g-7 and through nato to challenge his aggression. before the invasion, the united states and u.k. called out his playbook with false flags, attempts to install a puppet regime in kyiv with fake provocations. we warned he would face severe

costs and determined ukrainian people. we have surprised putin with our unity and the toughness of our sanctions. hitting the banks, the ships, the planes, the oligarchs and oil and gas revenue. >> harris: we've been watching the breaking news at the state department now led by the secretary of state blinken and his guest from the foreign minister of u. kment and important for the world to see us united as he was talking about but to stop pushing for both sides to try to reach a deal for a cease-fire and safe corridors for people to flee but to put pressure on one side. the putin side. we'll continue to watch this and bring you the latest out of it. >> i told my kids to pick up documents and we're leaving. we have no other choice. the house where my daughter lives was destroyed.

>> we will come back, i hope. my mom and my husband and just all our relatives. >> it was scary and it was cold. >> harris: telling there are stories. so many stories we'll never know about from the people who are trapped and may not make it out alive but they want the world to see they need help and some are making it out of ukraine. people scrambleling to escape with whatever they can carry. some having to leave it alongside the roadway and train stations because they can't take it all with them. an estimated 2.1 million refugees now have fled the war. all in need of desperate help, immediate help. ken ice -- samaritans purse. what are you able to do? >> well, thank you for having

me on today, harris. i would just say that the need is absolutely overwhelming. i've been in this line of work for 35 years and i've never seen this kind of a wave after wave after wave of people. i have spent over a week in ukraine where samaritan's purse set up a hospital in the town of lviv and we're putting clinics out in the area. we went to a train station yesterday, the central train station. there are 65,000 people a day coming through that train station, getting off trains and then going back and getting on other trains to other destinations. you go to the border crossings. we spent a lot of time there and thousands, tens of thousands of people coming across every day. people who are fearful, broken. it is heartbreaking to see a family come there and the father tell his wife and children goodbye as they leave and he goes back to fight the

war. the resolution, the conviction and commitment of the ukrainian people is extraordinarily high and i believe that the russian army has met much more resistance than they anticipated. but it certainly is a place where things are tense and very edgy. >> harris: there is -- you are seeing the other end of all of this. the desperate side that all of that conviction inside the cities of wanting to stay and fight. the true cost of that. because out of those 2.1 million we understand that 50% are young children. and some of them are -- have hypothermia, dehydration. the things you are seeing in your whole career in helping others you've never seen anything like it. with no electricity in major cities now, it's painful to be dehydrated. that's a horrible way to go. it is painful to be that cold

and to literally freeze. are you faced with -- you mention the hospital. are you faced with maybe some of the realities that you just can't get to everybody? >> we won't be able to get to everybody. that's just the fact. i've talked with people who were up at kyiv and up at kharkiv and talked to refugees from that area. and to leave -- people are in a siege mentality. the city is getting ready to be attacked and it is -- it's just heartbreaking to imagine that in the 21st century that -- anyway, history repeats itself and here we are again on the

verge of a continental war. >> harris: samaritan's purse doing so much. we'll get the information up across all of our social pages across the screens of fox news so people can give and we'll give other people the options for red cross and all of that. you are doing your part. god bless you and samaritan's purse. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus". "outnumbered" is after the break. >> vladimir putin's attack as he seems to be targeting babies commit the most vulnerable among us, after russian air strike apparently destroyed children's hospital in mariupol, as explosions rock other ukrainian cities despite promises of cease-fire, leaving millions drop in dire conditions. all
