the world is responding to this in a positive way. >> bill: let's hope. the point you make about the resiliency of children is one we'll take with us forward today. though. thank you, doctor. >> dana: thank you. all that new video is coming in and more throughout the day. "the faulkner focus" is coming up next. i'll see you on "the five" in a little bit. here is harris. >> harris: a pop lick particular scenes in the city of mariupol as the world' pariah, russian dictator vladimir putin, has raised the pain against ukrainians. we are entering the third week of this. hundreds of thousands of people trapped without any food or water. so here is what he is doing. he is going to starve them out. it is terrorism.
8:01 am
a maternity hospital destroyed. more images continue to come in as people have made their way, journalists have made their way into this section so we can see even more of the video and the pictures coming in. and you know this is the hour that we see much of that as the sun sets with the seven-hour time difference. the city there resorting to mass graves to bury the dead in mariupol. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". nearly constant shelling bombardment, artillery against residential buildings and human beings. just yesterday a maternity hospital bombed. breaking news as it happened this hour and now more pictures. children and moms who were even in labor, some of them they fear are buried beneath the rubble. it has been almost 24 hours. they can't get to everybody but they're trying. so far, at least three people
8:02 am
confirmed dead including a child. i want the warn you now the images that have come in that you are about to see are graphic and disturbing and so we want to give everybody in a room a chance to pull away who might be a young person that you want to protect. people in mariupol again are having to bury the dead, their loved ones, their neighbors, in mass graves. they want to say goodbye quickly and not leave them above ground because we know the grotesque reality is animals come. they want to do the respectful thing now. the constant slaughter is making private burials impossible. putin's forces have killed some 1200 people in that one city alone according to the ukrainian government. ukraine's president zelenskyy is calling it genocide. >> they want us to feel like
8:03 am
animals because they blocked our cities and they have blocked because they don't want our people to get food and water. yesterday, children, i don't know if mariupol the child was dead. that is the idea of this operational. >> harris: the one child he is talking about who is a 9-year-old who couldn't find water anywhere and not enough adults to help that poor little one. that one died of dehydration. the ukraine people are still fiercely, like their president, fighting back. let's bring in some of that brand-new video now outside the capital city kyiv showing the stiff ukrainian resistance now
8:04 am
three weeks in. ukrainian forces stopping a fleet of russian tanks in its tracks. fox team coverage now. in "focus" republican senator john kennedy this hour. retired u.s. army lieutenant colonel daniel davis, combat vetance from iraq and afghanistan. our team of reporters on the ground. mike tobin in lviv, alex hogan in poland where vice president harris spoke. we'll get to what happened with that coming up. let's begin with benjamin hall in kyiv. >> look, every day atrocities were committed we didn't think possible. the attack in mariupol shocking the world. 10 days since the city has been cut off from food, water and heating. and from medicine. it is despicable right now. yes, people now moving, russian forces moving on the capital of
8:05 am
kyiv and people saying the assault itself has begun. tanks around a few miles away from the outskirts and the battle ranging. the video suggests ukrainians are holding them back suck is cessfully. putin's forces face a long and bloody campaign now to take the capital. ukrainian's estimate russia lost 335 tanks, 1100 armored personnel carriers and 12,000 troops. those numbers can't be verified. russian meanwhile says it has destroyed almost 3,000 ukraine military facilities but claim that the maternity hospital hit yesterday was one of them and had been used by militias, to justify their atrocities. the pictures suggest otherwise. president zelenskyy called for help. >> don't wait me asking you several times. a million times close the sky. no, you have to point us to our
8:06 am
people who lost their children and say sorry, we didn't do it yesterday. the world did nothing. i'm sorry, but it is true. >> talks between russia and ukraine made no progress. they sought a cease-fire. it appeared russian lavrov couldn't make that decision. 1200 alone have been picked up from the streets of mariupol. similar themes are repeated in kharkiv and others. similar scenes will be repeated here is feared. when the siege begins here if all sides are cut off there will only be supplies for 10 to 14 days. the fear is this city is now bracing for the worst. >> harris: just hearing you say lavrov lacked the ability or the authority to make any cease-fire or any sort of important decisions lets you
8:07 am
know what a dictatorship we're dealing with now. even the people that you send on your behalf can't do anything for you because it is all about putin. >> absolutely. if you see the evidence of putin over the last few weeks he is always alone and isolated as opposed to previous conflicts he led. this one is exclusively appears to be him. >> harris: thank you very much. it is tough. great reporting by our correspondents. today's "new york post" cover shows the utter devastation of that children's hospital with this headline, atrocity. lieutenant colonel daniel davis retired u.s. army senior fellow with defense priorities. also a veteran of four combat deployments including operation desert storm, iraq in 2009 and afghanistan twice. colonel, thank you for being in
8:08 am
"focus" today. for everyday americans we're in the 15th day of this and seeing things that only, well, colonels and generals and those in the field in combat have ever seen. what do you make of what putin is doing now? it's war, yes, but it seems so far afield from anything human. >> it is so far afield from anything that we've seen in most of our lifetimes. although going back to desert storm when i was in the biggest tank battle up to that point since world war ii i saw extraordinary levels of destruction and civilians that had been knocked out of their homes in kuwait. it was just horrifying. and that was maybe a fraction of what we're seeing now. it is not just mariupol but it is also kharkiv and several other cities and probably more to come. it is just heartbreaking to see a lot of that and it is just -- this is total war and one of the reasons why we should avoid
8:09 am
it at all costs and do everything we can to prevent it but it all failed and now we are where we are and we have to do the best we can to contain it so these kinds of images don't expand beyond ukraine's border into warsaw or paris or berlin or washington if it expands to nuclear. that's a real possibility we have to contemplate. >> harris: i'm hearing that more and more now that word nuclear and the possibility because the person is running all of these make believe propaganda and we'll get to the biokem weapons and all of that in a moment. but because of all of that rhetoric now from putin, much of what we're seeing now began as rhetoric. i want to get to this. it is a plea to the west that we have heard so many times from ukrainian president zelenskyy. let's watch. >> we are speaking about
8:10 am
closing the sky. if you are united against this terror you have to close. you have to point us to our people who lost their children and say sorry, we didn't do it yesterday. one week ago. >> harris: you know, it is fascinating he speaks many languages, president zelenskyy. he is speaking in english there to sky news and he knows we're paying attention as americans. >> yeah. and if i was in his shoes i would be verbatim saying the same things and doing everything i could to get anybody else to come to help us. but we have to be really strong on this and understand that to do what he is asking brings us into war. the scenes of devastation could fall on us and all our nato allies and we absolutely can't permit that to happen. we can help him with ways of arms and other kinds of material support but we just can't enter this conflict
8:11 am
because then it will expand and the suffering will be orders of magnitude higher. >> harris: what do we need to do next? generals and colonel daveis there are things that we can do even with those migs in poland. so what's next steps look like? >> you know, i mean we would like to say we can do this and this next step will stop putin. i'm just telling you, harris, the harsh reality is that probably only negotiations are going to stop him at this point. he has weathered the sanctions and committed to this. mariupol shows you it is utterly committed and won't stop until he gets the objectives. what we have to do is just again prevent it from going beyond the borders and understand other than escalating to larger war, there is probably nothing we can do to stop it. i know no one likes to hear it but it's the harsh reality. >> harris: worries about the
8:12 am
russian attack using bioor chemical weapons press secretary jen psakiy said we took note of russia's false claims against u.s. chemical weapons development in ukraine. it's the kind of disinformation operation we've seen from the russians over the years which have been debunked. an example of the types of false pretexts we've been warning the russians would invent. from everything i'm reading, the falsehood of this would be to make it look like the u.s. and ukraine were in cahoots in a biolab which wouldn't be true. but for that to be the precursor or the reason why putin would go in and use chemical weapons or take it north to nukes. your take on it? >> yeah, without question everything that we know is completely debunks this as being untrue. we've been there, these first agreements that we had to go back to 1991 because of the kem
8:13 am
bioweapons program that is ussr had. we've been working since 2005 formally to help demilitarize a lot of these things and we're helping to prevent the thing he is claiming we're doing. there is no truth to that. it is something that we need to be very clear about and broadcast it out to the world to show this is something that has no foundation is a very important thing for us to do and i'm fully supportive of that. >> harris: wow, he is such a kgb agent. he may have a dictatorship but he is a killer spy. >> he is. >> harris: thank you very much for being with me today. we want to continue now to bring in that brand-new video. we stend to see a lot of the first of it. evacuations from some of the hardest-hit places in ukraine. these images from the town just on the outskirts of the capital. people there crossing over a river on slabs of wood because
8:14 am
russian shelling has destroyed the bridge there. so some of them can't -- look at that little one. you have to carry some of them and some of the elderly can't walk and some people hurt in the shelling can't walk. much of the city is just rocks to stand on. smoke is rising from the wreckage. more images as we get them. vladimir putin ramping up his brutal assault with more atrocities against civilians. it won't quit so he says. >> we saw the house next to us in flames and all people who were staying in it were dead. bodies were lying on the ground. >> harris: ukraine begging for help and arms and the biden administration trying to clean up a big bung will over fighter jets that could have gone right to putin's forces. our own mike tobin is live on

8:21 am
liquid or causing them to rupture or explode. >> weapons that putin is using weapons to -- prohibited in the geneva preventions including cluster and vacuum bombs which cause severe suffering. this is the beast that putin is. >> harris: speaker nancy pelosi there hitting russia for their use of illegal weapons. however, critics now tearing into the biden administration for not supplying ukraine with the weapons they need to defend themselves. >> i'm beginning to think that putin is really getting inside the head of some of our leaders in the administration here. we didn't give them the stingers until last week. other nato countries have been giving them stingers for months. why are we afraid that we are going to provoke the russians here? it is nonsense. if we keep going down this ladder, it will tie our hands when the ukrainians need everything that we can possibly give them to help them.
8:22 am
>> harris: that's just not a guest, that's general keane, four-star retired general saying that. he is calling for the government to get a spine. mike tobin is live for us in lviv. mike. >> harris, when you talk about all the humanitarian corridors opening up. essentially those are escape routes for people to get to the buses and get to the railways. when they make it to the railways so many are coming to the western part of the country and it puts them here at the lviv central train station. this frankly is an ebb in the traffic that you see here. this place gets swamped sometimes and you see them by the barrels with the fire trying to get warm. there is a lot of donated food. a lot of the world aid organizations are out here trying to make sure that people have a hot meal in their belly, that they can stay warm, that they aren't suffering too much in what is still a wintertime type cold. now in addition to the rails and people getting here, a lot
8:23 am
of people come by the road. you know that trip from kyiv to here normally six hours is now 18 hours. here is a very difficult complication with all that. you have the children who are sick. you have the children's hospitals in these embattled parts of the country. when you try to get these kids particularly say the cancer patients who need to be hooked up to their medicine on that 18-hour drive, it is just too long. the kids are suffering and they get sicker in the process. doctors are saying that you've got to come up, the people will have the come up with some type of a better solution, possibly the rails could be a solution to that and you look again with all of the people that are coming in here, most of the trains are here are heading in the direction of poland but not everyone can get on them. harris. >> harris: you talk about that ebb and flow and how some of the corridors across the country are starting to close. part of the slowdown you see is people can't get there. if the suffering is mighty
8:24 am
where there are few fires and heaters around imagine what it is like if places like oh my goodness, where the hospital was hit. >> yes. >> harris: it is just -- >> that's mariupol. and you know that they have just been under siege throughout this process. they haven't had access to food and water. again today it sound like the people in mariupol could not get out. some of the outskirts of kyiv people made a break and ended in the western part of the country today. >> harris: thank you, mike tobin. >> listen, we have a war. we don't have time for all these signals. this is not ping-pong. this is about human lives. we ask once again solve it faster. do not shift the responsibility. send us planes. >> harris: ukraine's president tearing into the west saying his country needs more help. solve it fast. meanwhile, the biden administration claiming a
8:25 am
breakdown in communication is the reason for them blocking poland from sending those fighter jets to ukraine. vice president kamala harris in poland today was asked about the embarrassing incident overall with the planes. >> what kind of alternative plan does the united states have to get materials to help ukraine defend itself especially now that you have declined poland's offer on jets? >> the issue facing the ukrainian people and our allies is something that occupies one of our highest priorities. it is a dynamic situation and requires us to be nimble and to be swift. >> harris: what dressing do we put on that word salad? the "wall street journal" editorial board out with nato's polish mig 29 fiasco, quote,
8:26 am
the white house divides the alliance and signals weakness by refusing to let warsaw send fighter jets to ukraine. senator lindsey graham he is dumbfounded the biden administration supported poland, a nato member, transferring the jets but all of a sudden it is untenable when america is involved in the transfer. senator john kennedy republican from louisiana, top line thoughts from you, your reaction to the back and forth over what truly, truly would help zelenskyy in ukraine. >> well, harris, as human beings, we all have gifts and gaps. i think it's obvious to most clear-eyed and fair-minded people that one of president biden's gaps is that he is not
8:27 am
a wartime. he is leading from behind. one would hope at a time like this that vice president harris would help fill that gap. her performance in my judgment has been more akin to fredo's. we can't look to the u.n. for leadership. they are impotent. i with like to see the senate play a bigger roll. i'm suggesting that all 100 senators jump in the middle of this. i would suggest two from each side. i'm thinking senator rich and rubio, menendez and warner could advise the president and vice president if they accept the help. the president is just not a wartime president. too immediate problems. number one the ukrainian people and zelenskyy need planes. they need planes. he made that very clear to us
8:28 am
on the telephone saturday. he is not asking for american planes, our pilots or troops. he is asking for european planes. some european countries will provide the planes but the biden administration can't make up its mind. once again, it continues to lead from behind. give the man his planes. number two, we're in an economic war with biden. we can't win this economic war with biden -- i'm sorry, with putin. maybe with president biden, too. i'll explain that comment in a second. we can't win this economic war with putin without cutting off his cash funds. we can't cut off his cash flow without stopping buying his oil and gas. america can do that. europe can't because they have gotten themselves dependent on russian oil and gas.
8:29 am
we can fill the deficit left in europe. if it stops buying putin's product, by producing our own oil and gas. there is just one problem. the wokeers refuse to let us do it. if you turn them upside down and shook them. >> harris: i will bring you back as soon as we can. we have a senate hearing going on now talking about exactly what you are talking about. let's watch. >> if we have a transfer of these aircrafts as opposed to anti-aircraft missiles that shoot russian jets out of the sky will be viewed as an escalation. >> i will provide to you a written product to give you the basis for that. >> the pentagon spokesman said it is the same intelligence they had last year that delayed the transfer. no new intelligence. the same intelligence he had last year. is that the case? >> no, senator. i am not aware of what it is
8:30 am
that he was referencing but this is a recent assessment that was done by the intelligence community. i'm happy to provide that to you. >> i'm saying do you have new intelligence? >> so when analysts -- i know you know this but they are looking at a body of intelligence and then they are also providing their own knowledge and experience and i don't know whether or not there is -- >> so we can address this in a closed setting. here is my opinion. you don't have new intelligence. this is opinion and in many cases this is policymakers looking to the intelligence community to provide them cover for their hesitancy. general, could you explain as an intelligence officer how vladimir putin might be okay with us transferring missiles that turn their tanks into burning piles of rubbish but transfer aircraft is unacceptable. why is the latter escalation and the former not escalation.
8:31 am
>> i will take a stab at that. when you look at anti-tank weapons and air defense shoulder-fired kinds of weapons there is a range of escalation and i think in our view that escalation ladder doesn't get checked higher with those weapons versus something like combat aircraft. >> i have to say i don't think there is a lot of common sense between this distinction and a lot of farmers in arkansas wouldn't understand it either. your own assessment says that russia doesn't want a direct conflict with the united states, end quote. that was from january 21st that that assessment says russia doesn't want a conflict to the united states. do you think they want a conflict now after he has seen the performance of his army? not just against the ukrainian army but with moms with molotov cocktails and grandmas with a.k.47s. do you think they want a piece of us now than two most ago?
8:32 am
>> i don't think it's an issue of whether or not they are more likely to want a conflict. whether or not they perceive us as being in that conflict with them. i think we're in a very challenging position, right, where we're providing enormous amounts of support to the ukrainians and we should and need to do but at the same time trying not to escalate the conflict into a full-on nato or u.s. war with russia and that is a challenging space to manage and they're trying to provide their best assessments of what is likely to be perceived as that kind of escalation in the kir couple stances. >> seems to me vladimir putin simply deterred the u.s. government from providing the aircraft by saying they would view it as escalation. if that's our position we might as well call the come yarnding general at fort lewis and tell him to take the flag down. he won't stop in ukraine and go to the west coast.
8:33 am
every time he raises a threat we immediately back off. one other question i want to ask in this area as well about intelligence sharing. last thursday the house armed services committee chairman adam smith said we're providing some intelligence. not providing the realtime targeting because that steps over the line that makes us participate in the war. just a few hours later the white house press secretary contradicted him saying we have consistently been sharing intelligence that includes information the ukrainians can use to inform and develop their military response to russia's invasion. that has been ongoing and reports that suggest otherwise are inaccurate. who is correct? the democratic chairman of the house armed services committee or white house press secretary. are we or not providing that realtime targeting intelligence to ukraine? >> we are providing enormous amount of intelligence to ukraine. happy to get into in closed session the details of what
8:34 am
we're providing and i think maybe if there is anything else. >> can you at least tell me who is correct between the chairman of the white house committee and the white house press secretary? >> it would be getting into it in closed session and explain what we're providing. i'm happy to defer to my colleagues. >> we'll address it in closed session. >> senator blunt. >> harris: the director of the national intelligence may not want the public to hear it but i'm glad we got to hear some of that because that was some truth telling right there and senator cotton was really going after it. what is the difference, he said, between giving them weapons that can shoot stuff down and giving them the planes that they are asking for? what an incredible moment. when she came back with a challenging place to manage right now, who talks like that?
8:35 am
say what it is. the president doesn't know what to do and he appears to be afraid of putin. let's go back to john kennedy the senator from louisiana and get his reaction and the person they sent to solve it kamala harris. >> i think senator cotton asked probing and good questions. it's obvious that president biden is not a wartime president. president zelenskyy has asked for our help. he is not asking for our planes or our pilots or our troops. he is asking us to give the okay to european countries that will supply the planes. and the president can't seem -- this is the most charitable interpretation. he can't seem to make up his mind and the vice president has not helped. i don't even understand what
8:36 am
her statement means. >> harris: let's give people a taste of the vice president. a cringey moment, another one when asked about the ukrainian refugee crisis. just watch this. >> is the united states willing to make a specific allocation for ukrainian refugees? and for the president, i wanted to know if you think and if you asked the united states to accept more refugees. >> okay. a friend in need is a friend indeed. [laughter] >> harris: did you see him put his hand out like stop, seriously. senator. >> well, i don't speak stupid. i'm not calling the vice president stupid, i'm saying what she said from poland is stupid. i don't think anybody
8:37 am
understands it. i'm not sure she understands it. there is not a lot she can adhere. i just think the senate and some of the house leadership perhaps we are going to have to get involved here. i don't know whether it means passing some bills. i think if we introduced a bill today to give president zelenskyy the planes, i think it would pass. i think most republicans would support it. i think many democrats would support it. i don't know if speaker pelosi would bring it up. that's what we're down to. the biden administration, whether it's our energy policy or helping president zelenskyy seems unable to make a decision. i mean, our energy policy is being dictated by the woke people who refuse to accept an all of the above energy policy. only accept wind, solar and pixie dust and we'll lose the war with putin if we continue down that road. >> harris: senator john kennedy
8:38 am
from louisiana in "focus" today. thank you for sticking around for the breaking news. thank you. >> right now we have a crisis. >> gas prices are crazy. >> the gas prices right now are ridiculous. >> short term it is despicable. long term, hell no. >> you can run but you can't hide from inflation. >> harris: americans complaining to fox news digital about the skyrocketing gas prices as we caught up with them. inflation just hit a new 40-year high with consumer prices jumping nearly 8% over the past year meaning it is not just gasoline that has gone up. it is everything. still americans are paying nearly $2 more at the pump since the first day president biden took office. 1.92. of course we're in day 15 of putin's war. so you see what proceeded what, right? the white house is not taking any of the responsibility,
8:39 am
though, for the spike. >> a lot of it has to do with vladimir putin. the reality is that russia is one of the three largest oil producers in the world. and the fact that they have started this conflict and invaded a foreign country and such a big producer of oil in the world is the reason why the global oil markets are disturbed right now and why your gas prices are going up. >> harris: you can find the resume tape on her twitter. biden administration is running with that premise and rebrands the soaring gas costs as #putin price hike. president trump and co-founder of committee to unleash prosperity is in "focus" now. steve, i talked about what preceded this 15-day war, the massacre that's going on by vladimir putin. talk to us about how this began, how maybe we could even be in a better position right now in dealing with putin. >> well, harris, great to be with you. you know, i think we're all saddened by this news about
8:40 am
these new inflation numbers and let me just add one thing to what you were saying about them. you are right, over the last year inflation has been growing now at 8%. but if you just look at the last couple of months, harris, we're now at close to a 10% annual rate of inflation which is something we haven't seen since the late 1970s when jimmy carter was in office. these are frightening numbers. they aren't getting better. they aren't temporary, they're getting worse. i work with donald trump on energy policy. i remember when we would talk about this and he always made this case about making america energy independent and one of the energy dominant countries in the world. 14 months ago, harris, we were there. we had achieved that. the last month that donald trump was in office, we were actually exporting oil and gas. my how the world has changed in 14 months. the biden people came in and they declared war on american
8:41 am
oil and gas. some of the people in the administration said they wanted to bankrupt the american oil and gas industry and we're now paying a high price for this. you put it very well, harris. this spike in oil prices began almost the month that biden entered office. the russia situation has made it much worse but americans are paying roughly 20 to 25 dollars more every time they fill up their tank. >> harris: this is how the white house is responding to starting the keystone pipeline. >> that's a distraction, willie, keystone is a pipeline, not an oil field and doesn't produce additional oil. even if it had been permitted last year it would have been years away from completion. >> we are already getting the oil. the pipeline is a delivery mechanism not an oil field. it does not provide more supply to the system. >> harris: you could almost overlay them and the words would come out of both people.
8:42 am
a white house talking point. >> well, look, let me address that issue that jen psakiy mentioned that you have to transport oil somehow, gas somehow. she is right except if you are an environmentalist it is much safer to transport oil and gas on a pipeline than on a tanker or truck. they aren't even -- this policy isn't even a green policy. the fact is they don't want that oil and gas to come from alberta, canada and north dakota down to houston so we can transport it around the country and the world. we should actually be getting that oil and gas down to houston. should make it liquid and export it to european country. the war was in no small part that russia had taken over the oil and gas market in western
8:43 am
europe. they have been addicted to russian oil and gas when we should be -- they should be getting it from texas, alaska, and north dakota. you can tell i'm frustrated because they're self-imposed, self-inflicted wounds. >> harris: three thursdays ago they found out that addiction will be really, really hard to keep now. that's what they are finding out. i appreciate your time today because what you've done is broken it down on really where we are right now. last quick thought. >> just a last thought. i have a piece with newt gingrich and steve forbes and k.t. mcfarland and many other prominent conservatives arguing we need an operation warp speed to regain american energy independence. the best way to fight against this russian war machine and to provide aid to the ukrainians. >> harris: steve moore, thank you. appreciate your time. ukrainian refugees who fled
8:44 am
putin's brutality say they're in shock over what is happening as they look back at the ones they left behind. >> my life was happy with no problems before putin invaded us. everything changed. our city was bombed. it is terrible and it is happening right now at this moment when i'm talking to you. >> harris: poland is doing all it to take in 2 million plus refugees but it is a lot. what's happening on the ukrainian/polish border. thousands of people are still trying to get there. we are on the ground next. ♪ ♪ learning is hard work. hard work requires character. learning begins in faith. it must move upwards toward the highest thing, unseen at the beginning - god. and freedom is essential to learning. its principles must be studied and defended. learning, character, faith, and freedom:

have gotten out. the majority have found their way to poland leaving their entire lives behind and in many cases loved ones. alex hogan is live at a polish border city near ukraine. alex. >> hi, harris, 1.4 million people have come to poland. more than any other country and many people continue to arrive here. you can see the flow of people walking through this train station in poland. a lot of these faces are just kids who have been traveling days on end before they can finally get here and everyone has their own story, everyone has their own soros of what they left behind. at least now they're safe. we're seeing some smiles and some kids playing with toys that have been donated by people in poland who want to do something to make their day brighter. most of the people say more than anything they're exhausted and traveling for days on end,

sometimes on the trains. they weren't sleeping. they were holding onto everything that they owned so they could not let that out of their hands but now they've arrived here at this train station. from here they'll be bused to either refugee centers if they don't have friends to call on in other countries, or they will take trains and buses to other cities where they can stay at least for a short while. this small city has about 60,000 people. usually it's a very quiet train station. it is the polar opposite of that today and every other day since the russian invasion. a lot of the residents who live in the small town have been taking people into their own homes for free. a remarkable act of kindness in such a tough time. >> harris: alex hogan. thank you for taking us inside there. beautiful survivors. let's take a look at this. it's the aftermath of a russian missile attack near kyiv.

8:53 am
bad for the invaders. in fact, the direct contact with the military russia has lost those battles. however, we all see that it has changed its tactics and it is employ more and more air strikes on just civilians and civilian districts and infrastructure. >> harris: when you talk about tactics changing, the world is looking at that hospital now in mariupol and i know that is a distance away from where you are but the news travels. and it's my understanding that that particular tactic of hitting hospitals and children in particular just is meant to break the spirit. is putin able to do that? >> well, definitely he is getting the opposite because it is getting more and more
8:54 am
ukrainians enraged and if that is the tactics meant to frighten us, then he is reaching absolutely the opposite. however, it's just one more indication for something that ukrainians have known for a while, that russia and putin is just a terrorist. he now has control of the nuclear power plant in zaporizhzhya and chernobyl station. so he is a dangerous terrorist and he is a danger not only to ukraine but to europe and possibly to the world. >> harris: thank you very much. as a warrior, a soldier, a ukrainian our prayers are with you and we appreciate you giving us first-person report of what it is like to fight russia on the ground.
