2 1/2 weeks ago. gillian, keep an eye on joe manchin yesterday talking about the defense production act. pipeline in west virginia that he could get going now more than 300 miles called the mountain valley pipeline and the talk about energy it may become relevant. have a wonderful weekend and we'll follow news as it goes. thank you. here is julie. "the faulkner focus" >> catastrophic devastation in ukraine. the civilian slaughter campaign getting more intense by the day as russian forces once again set their sights on the capital. i'm julie banderas. thank you for joining us this friday. i'm in for harris today. more than two weeks since rush why crossed the border to ukraine. in that time putin's army has

failed to topple the government in kyiv. they've resorted to terrorizeing innocent civilians. in central ukraine the shoe factory was obliterated. mariupol, 1300 people have been killed. that number likely to rise. meantime kyiv is bracing for the arrival of that massive russian military convoy. new satellite images appear to show the convoy fanning out into towns along the city outskirts. last hour president biden calling for the u.s. to take new steps to punish putin. >> president biden: revoking pntr for russia will make it harder for russia to do business with the united states. and doing it in unison with other nations, that make up half of the global economy will be another crushing blow to the russian he con that that's already suffering badly from our sanctions. putin is an aggressor, the

aggressor. putin must pay the price. >> retired general jack keane is standing by with analysis and fox team coverage this hour. mike tobin is live in western ukraine and alex hogan across the border in poland. but first we'll start it off with trey yingst joining us live in the capital. trey. >> good morning. russian forces are now within 10 miles of kyiv. according to these new satellite images the long convoy to the northwest of the city that includes tanks and artillery units has now dispersed and redeployed. the troops have taken up new positions in nearby towns and tree lines. the units are moving into firing position with the capital city in their sights russian forces are destroying lives and homes in their path and we returned from the front lines and have this report. >> 63-year-old is one of the many vulnerable residents stuck in a ukraine town that is

besieged. he hears shells exploding nearby he can't see the destruction they cause. >> i am absolutely blind and can't see anything. >> with no shops or markets open it is hard to get supplies. for him it's nearly impossible. >> i'm scared as everyone else. what can i do? >> right now we're deep inside the ukrainian town that is partially controlled by russian forces and shelling different ukraine positions in the distance. trying to increase their gains. splintered buildings line the streets the aftermath on russian attacks on residential areas. indiscriminate shelling and air strikes. on the front lines between two towns russian forces are flattening neighborhoods. this is part of a scorched earth campaign used by the russians to kill civilians and push people out of the way so they can move their troops forward and ultimately advance on the capital of kyiv.

ukrainian officials are accusing russia today of striking neighboring belarus. those officials say russia will blame ukraine and then try to drag belarus into this war. julie. >> gillian: excellent reporting. thank you very much. retired four star general jack keane and chairman at the university for the study of war joins me now. you have an update for us. i want to start with the russia's campaign to seize kyiv and force the current dear of ukraine's government. you say it will be a hard fight. that is given the fact that ukraine has had over two weeks to prepare an urban warfare favors the defender. this could take some time. do you have an update on that? >> yeah, most definitely. what's happened is what we thought would happen a long time ago. the combat forces are approaching the city of kyiv and they are now on the

outskirts. one formation is on the northeast side and one on the northwest side. both in contact within the last 24 to 36 hours. likely consolidating and preparing to move south and begin the encirclement of the city. the first time a serious attempt at that will take place. i believe the fighting just to encircle the city and bring down the artillery will be challenging. two brigades from the ukraine military defending the routes and a fight all the way down to the south. secondly, if they're able to encircle the city what they'll do is open fire with their artillery. these are area attack weapons to pummel and hammer the city itself and as you mentioned in the introduction, this certainly is part of their way of war and they will also use aerial come barredment and there are some air defense systems in the city.

the russians will be cautious about the use of that. nonetheless all three will be used to hammer that city. they will try, julie, to get capitulation from the government zelenskyy et al as opposed to entering with their combat troops. if they don't get a capitulation, the likely outcome they will not. they will enter with their combat troops and at that point this will be a very tough fight. urban warfare is the toughest warfare there is. it favors the defense and as you mentioned, yes, they have had over two weeks to prepare for this outcome. this will be neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block and building by building if the russians commit their forces to go into the city. >> putin is raging now. he had no idea of the offensive -- the defensive military operations on the ground in ukraine had no idea they would be met with such resistance.

he rages on over fsp failures and he reportedly fired eight generals for failing to complete the task of taking ukraine in days of ukrainian resistance caught the kremlin offguard. how much fight do the ukrainians have left this them? >> it's hard to tell. i think they have a lot of fight in them. even if putin is able to collapse the regime -- the ukrainians are going to fight for as long as it takes to get the russians out of their country. russia doesn't have enough troops to occupy this country over a protracted. they aren't aware of any generals being fired. i think that may be a misreport you are using that we got from another source. but here is what we do know. it took some time to get information to putin about the details of what was going on on

the battlefield likely because the people that surround him were holding back that information. he has it all now. he has a clear picture from what i understand and you are right, he is frustrated and angry as a result of it. no wonder. his forces have performed margin allly at best and underestimated the ukraine military and people. >> the forces are begging for their lives saying they have no backup. what are we do here? calling family members crying and saying we shouldn't be here. president zelenskyy says putin is bluffing again with his nuke threats. he says this i think that the threat of nuclear war is a bluff. he tells a newspaper. he says it's one thing to be a murderer. it is another to commit suicide. putin's threat shows a weakness.

you only threaten the use of nuclear weapons when nothing else is working. i'm sure that russia is aware of the catastrophic consequences of any attempt to use nuclear weapons. >> well, i don't think i would get into a direct discussion with putin if i was zelenskyy. there is enough emotion and rhetoric out there as it is particularly on a subject dealing with nuclear weapons and how catastrophic that would be. putin has got to understand the international position and the position of the united states and nato that there are consequences for the introduction of any kind of weapons of mass destruction. and while we don't have to have red lines i agree with the trump administration, they did away with the obama red lines. i do think we have to be clear about all options are on the table and everything changes if

weapons of mass destruction are used by putin. but stay away from the back and forth emotional rhetoric. i think it would be best. i have a lot of toleration for zelenskyy letting off some steam from time to time. he is entitled it to. >> he has earned it. general jack keane. always great to see you. thank you so much. americans are feeling the pain at the pump. boy, at the grocery store, you name it. and the white house seems to be keeping to shift the blame. watch. >> nothing has been more politicized than inflation. just let's harken back to all the things we've been through. first it was transitory, then inflation is good, then we went to corporate greed, now we're at putin. >> yeah, those record gas prices and soaring inflation are now all putin's fault. that same inflation the white house has called temporary for

months. fox business larry kudlow in "focus" next. veteran homeowners, need cash? at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value and get up to $60,000 or more. we called and got $96,602. that's more than ever. we called and we got $62,810. home values are soaring. now is the best time in history to turn your home equity into cash. we called and we got $68,201. we called and we got $58,800. use it to improve your home or save for retirement. i called and got $60,300. take ten minutes and call newday usa.

>> are you guys going to start blaming putin for everything until the mid-terms? >> well, we've seen the price of gas go up at least 75 cents since president putin lined up troops on the border of ukraine. >> and last month the statement didn't mention the putin price hike it mentioned inflation because of the pandemic. >> julie: the white house blame game is on. it is so on. president biden is now pointing the finger at president putin for soaring inflation and the growing pain at the pump.

but prices, if you recall, were well on the rise before putin launched his war. the average for a gallon of regular gas today is at $4.33. but people in some areas seeing far higher prices. that average is up almost $2 since biden took office but it was already up about $1.25 before the war started. how is this putin's fault again? a former economic advisor to obama is not buying it. he tweeted that new numbers show this is biden's inflation and he needs to own it. peter doocy is live at the white house with more. hi, peter. >> good morning. prices are up on just about everything. but it is mid-term season now and president biden wants credit for a strong economy. >> president biden: let's be

clear, when america's recovery was flat on its back and the economy flat on its back it was the democrats, not a single republican vote, that brought us back. >> last month the blame for inflation was the pandemic. this month the word pandemic street missing from the president's statement about prices as he blames the #putin price hike. >> the biden administration has tried to invent some laugh out loud -- laugh out loud revisionist history. they want to blame 14 months of gas price increases on the last two weeks of turmoil. the democrats' war on domestic energy long predates putin's war on ukraine. >> another word we're hearing again. sounds familiar. temporary because just like last spring, white house officials are describing rising prices as being short lived. >> we've heard you say it would

be temporary since last spring. so how long do you guys think temporary is? >> again peter what he do is we rely on the assessments of the federal reserve and outside economic analysts who give an assessment of how long it will last. the expectations and their assessment at this point continues to be it will moderate by the end of the year. >> there is a lot going on in the country and the world. but the president's schedule is filled with events. last night and today designed to just rev up his base. last night he spoke at a dnc event in washington and -- he is on marine run heading for a democratic retreat in philadelphia. >> julie: i love you in the press room. i want to say it again. i just have to remind you of how much you're loved. thank you so much. love you. fox business has a "new york post" op-ed entitled inflation is biden's fault and only

biden's fault. larry kudlow host of kudlow on fox business joins me now. i got this mysterious accent earlier. kudlow, who is that guy? let's talk about the feds. federal officials at the white house, repeatedly claiming the gas price increases are solely due to the conflict in europe. we know that's not true. rather than the reckless anti-oil and gas policies pursued over the last year. when is the biden administration going to just give in and give up to the fact that they are responsible? >> well, first of all you have to love peter doocy just in general. that's very important. >> julie: i love him to death. >> and second of all, julie, i don't think the bidens will ever confess up to it or own the problem. that's an issue. an administration that doesn't make the right diagnosis and take ownership it will never move toward solving the problem. so you have a couple of things

cooking here, right? for the pastier we've had massive deficit spending. the federal reserve has -- [inaudible], that's number one. you saw them with this omnibus appropriations bill, another 1 1/2 trillion in spending, 7% above last year's level. that's what i call wrong direction. by the way, the earmarks make it even worse. the second point is this massive regulatory octopus that is strangling the oil and gas industry. and, you know, there has been a debate about permitting and leasing on federal lands. well basically they've stopped pipelines and they've stopped any new leases because they've got this crazy idea called the social cost of carbon, which is an invented makeup thing that goes back centuries and tries to predict upstream, downstream, global. it is all nonsense but it is

serious nonsense because even producers, julie, on private lands, which is what most of the oil and gas comes from, they are being stopped by these new regulatory inventions. some of it is the endangered species, some of it is the clean water, some of it is the permitting. some of it is this social cost of carbon. so we have 2 million barrels a day less in oil than we had at the pre-pandemic peak. and if you actually change the policy like if president biden sent a special diplomatic envoy to midland, texas, to make peace with the oil and gas industry, they could make up that 2 million barrel shortfall very rapidly and -- and if he would send another envoy to alberta, canada, and to the xl

pipeline people, they could finish that pipeline within a year. that's what industry sources say. and that would be another 800,000 barrels. so i can get you to almost 3 million barrels per day if the regulatory octopus could be removed. i don't see that. >> julie: we're more than a million half barrels a day since 2019 when oil averaged $57. 70% of americans are favoring increased oil here in the u.s. in gas production. this is a make it in america goal. the biden administration needs to quickly embrace it. >> look, i mean, instead of going to iran and venezuela and all these dictators, let's go to our friends. but you know if you are

accusing them of price gouging and excess profits. very mean, nasty stuff that is preventing the industry from making new investments, look, the federal energy regulatory commission is stopping any new pipelines period, full stop. let me tell you something. psaki says in the press room yesterday or the day before pipelines don't matter because they don't really produce the oil. well, you can't produce -- you can't produce what you are not going to ship. they know they can't do that. that's why pipelines have to be approved. it would be like milking a cow and leaving the milk on the barn floor. you have to have pipelines and oil production. they don't seem to understand that. it is a rather hopeless cause. the thing is we could be snapping back. all this blaming of putin, look, i would love to blame putin for everything under the sun but you can't pin this.

you will see next month inflation will reflect the putin rise in oil and gasoline prices. but as you noted earlier and others have, this thing has been going on all year, the past 12, 14 months. gasoline prices, world oil prices because we're killing one of our greatest industries, for heaven sakes. my worry is with an 8% inflation, julie, whatever happens it is not going to end well. biden's woke washington is not going to end well. i think this -- the horse is out of the barn and i'm not sure how you will get it back. >> julie: your take on andrea mitchell praising putin's price hike messaging from biden and arguing that americans are willing to put up with surging pump costs to defend ukraine. watch this. >> and talking to members of congress, they now see the politics right now and it may not last, that the american people are behind this.

and more likely are willing to take a hit at the pump. >> if it means not bringing war here, right? another way to message this i might argue. >> and putin's price hike is a great way to message it. >> julie: democratic congressman seems to be right on message. >> my wife and i feel it at the gas line already. we're paying a lot of money and american families are feeling it at the gas tank, too. we have to ask ourselves, what is it we stand for as a democracy, to protect other democracies, and if it means paying a few extra cents at the gas tank, then we're willing to pay that. >> julie: really? what do you make of the dem's message there we're willing to pay the price. it wasn't putin's fault. two weeks ago our gas prices

were up. we're willing to make for biden's mistakes. >> it is not going the fly. early polls already showing it is not going the fly. look. part of this poll collapse -- part of biden's poll collapse over the past six or nine months is directly attributable to excess federal spending, high oil and gasoline prices. inflation is the number one issue out there. so this stuff is not going to fly. look, andrea mitchell is an old friend of mine but i would make this suggestion. she should go talk to her husband, the very distinguished and dear friend of mine alan greenspan who will tell her when you have skyrocketing inflation because you are choking off oil and gas and spending too much money it will not end well. i think folks have this foreboding. i would love it to be different

but i will say this, julie. the cavalry is coming. change is on the way. we just have to get through the next seven or eight months, how is that? >> julie: we'll try, larry kudlow, great to see you. have a wonderful weekend. good to see you as always. president zelenskyy is pleading with the world as his people bravely fight against putin's war machine. >> this is outright terror, blatant terror from an experienced terrorist. the world needs to know it has to admit it. >> julie: putin's forces slaughtering civilians as critics say the biden administration is not giving ukrainians what they need to defend themselves. we've got the fallout from that polish jet fiasco coming up. mike tobin is live on the ground in lviv, ukraine and former c.i.a. analyst buck sexton is in "focus" with us next.

mass general brigham. when you need some of the brightest minds in medicine, this is the only healthcare system in the country with five nationally ranked hospitals, including two world-renowned academic medical centers, in boston, where biotech innovates daily and our doctors teach at harvard medical school, and where the physicians doing the world-changing research are the ones providing care. there's only one mass general brigham.

>> julie: horrifying images at putin's forces widen their brutal assault on ukraine now striking in the west of the country for the first time targeting airports and other sites. analysts believe the new attacks are a message from russia that no one in the entire country is safe. mike tobin is live in western ukraine in the city of lviv with the latest there. hi, mike. >> as you mentioned the russians broadened their campaign the second time since the invasion started that they hit targets here to the west of the country. the town of lut directly north of where we are now in lviv. a military airfield was struck. two people killed and six injured. to the south of lviv another military airport was hit. the town in the center of the country local authorities say it was a missile attack. primary school and apartment

were hit. shoe factory was destroyed by fire and local authorities say one civilian was killed. these next images are tough to see. in the west of the country the chernobyl hospital was established to treat victims of the nuclear disaster. it is now treating child cancer and pediatric kidney patients fleeing the combat. the child kidney patients have acute need. the kids who need dialysis are really at risk with this multi-day trip over the western border especially if they cannot get their blood cleaned. >> we are -- every other day three times per week we should do it. but there is a huge queue on the board and for patients it is a very risky situation really. >> the hospital here in the west of the country is now

doing four times its normal volume. back to you. >> julie: thank you. >> you believe that there is a difference in escalation between anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles on the one hand and aircraft on the other hand. i understand you believe that and director haines believes that and claims the analysts believe that. i don't believe it. i don't believe it and i don't believe there is intelligence to support it. i bet the russian pilot that gets shot out of the air by an anti-aircraft missile and not an airplane doesn't believe it either. >> julie: 42 republican senators now signing a letter to the biden administration urging it to give ukrainians the support they need to battle putin's blood lust. >> we've gone from incompetence by the biden administration to this move that's dishon arable.

so what has happened here all of a sudden it was okay for poland to give the jets but when we're in the delivery chain it is an escalation. here is why it's dishonorable. putin's morale went up and ukraine morale went down because we allowed putin to take off the table. >> julie: buck sexton former c.i.a. analyst in "focus" now. great to have you on. i want your reaction to the "wall street journal." it is reporting that the west is looking at alternative military support after the u.s. shot down the mig proposal. the headline reads this u.s. allies look at sending designed air defense systems to ukraine. sub line with polish jets off the table western countries consider other options to help kyiv fight off russian invasion. the white house claims that allowing the migs transfer would be escalatory. they say it is different than

providing other types of weapons to ukraine. different how? >> well, you get into a gray area here for sure. i think it has to be said the reality is, is it an escalation in the eyes of vladimir putin, right? we could argue all day the semantics weather anti-aircraft missiles are different. lethal aid from sending mission. if vladimir putin decides its a red line there is a concern there could be an escalation from there. the problem is that it was rolled out in a way that wasn't coordinated and was made public in such a way it could agitate again about putin's perception not whether international law or our own congress or members there debate it is an escalation or not. if they could find a way to do it such there was a plausible denyability. more planes that happen to be flown in ukraine. it might be less likely to push putin to something rash in response. i would also point out it won't

be a game changer even if we got them. they have 1500 fighter planes. it has used very few of them so far. ukraine has roughly 100 at the start of the conflict. it has lost some since then. you would have to see a long and sustained air effort. not clear the ukrainians could do that logistically and it might become can we use the air bases to fly the strike? that's part of the concern. >> julie: kyiv is begging more military support. why would a three way fighter jet be different than adding poleish fighter jet to ukraine's arsenal? why is the biden administration putting their foot down on this and do you think this letter that is written by these senators, do you think it will make any difference? >> i think there is going to be a push to get better air combat

capability into the ukrainian's hands. i don't know how they would do it. the biden administration isn't sure yet. they shot down the plan that fell into their lapse. i would say we have to see this as the countries involved. nobody wants to be the one who does something that gets a response from putin of triggering article 5 bringing in the nato alliance. if he launches missiles to a polish or german air base it would happen. from the perspective of tom cotton who has a strong perspective on this issue why don't we do the things we have to do to help the ukrainians to the maximum at the fight at this stage because it will drag on for weeks or months. unlikely vladimir putin will bend to the economic sanctions joe biden talked about this morning. i think it's almost impossible that's going to happen. so do we want to help the ukrainians and get them mig

fighter planes to give them a chance against the russian air force? russians have a lot in reserve, too. the likelihood of escalation is a thing in everybody's minds. can we get them planes in a way that doesn't look like we're escalating to vladimir putin? it is a dangerous game. a very challenging equation we face now. we'll get it to them i'm not sure how quickly and how effective it will be. >> julie: the messaging on the ground. the "new york post" is reporting that russian soldiers are actually saying that they are at war with the u.s., okay? not ukraine. in fact, they got this information from a ukrainian man who fled his war torn town, 55-year-old says that russian troops told him we're not at war with ukraine or ukrainians but at war with the usa inside ukraine. i should add he actually said the russians said this to him after they shot him. >> the war propaganda is going to come at us all in increasing

heat in the days ahead. the russians or whatever is being said by them on the ground is not reflective of the actual reality. we aren't at war with russia thank god and need to avoid war with russia. that said there will be a lot of things that could seem it may be inevitable. cooler heads on the nato side need to prevail. we're getting more involved and need to make sure we hold the line. >> julie: buck sexton. thank you so much. great to see you. >> thank you. >> julie: refugees are continuing to stream out of ukraine fleeing putin's relentless war. for those inside the country fears are growing that this will become the biggest humanitarian crisis since world war ii. we're live just over the border to poland next.

>> we hope that this nightmare will end as soon as possible. >> i left my parents. my parents there and my grandmother. >> i think we're sad and tired. >> i'm alone and i don't know what to do. save ukraine and save my friend and family because i am so -- i

am crying because i don't understand where i see him. >> julie: just some of the more than 2.5 million ukrainian refugees. u.n. says they have fled their country since russia invaded just over two weeks ago and more civilians inside ukraine are running out of food and water. they are hiding in bomb shelters without heat and burying the dead in mass graves. the humanitarian crisis grows, relentless russian selling continues. alex hogan is live in poland just over the border from ukraine. >> this is a growing effort here as more people continue to cross the border. we see the lines grow longer and longer as we approach the evening hours tonight. behind me you can see the masses of people waiting to catch a bus taking them somewhere else away from the border, hopefully somewhere to warmth most of them tell me.

i met a ukrainian man who lives in canada. he was in ukraine getting married and actually fled the country the same day of the invasion. he is just one of the many people who have come here to help after fleeing himself he has now come back to help these many people, friends of his fleeing, get out safely and set them up with housing. >> their apartment building was bombed and everything is loss. now they're here with just a purse. >> now because of the massive influx of people that we are continuing to see there is so much that is set up here to help them. there are pamphlets, to get medical and legal help for everything they've been through. from here the buses will take them to refugee centers. even if you have money and can pay for a hotel there is nowhere to stay around here.

everything has been booked. 1 1/2 million people from ukraine alone have come to poland. if you don't have anywhere to stay refugee centers are available. unfortunately a lot of people who don't know people in other countries say that's what they will have to do. >> julie: thank you so much. at least one civilian reportedly killed this morning when russian air strikes hit the eastern ukrainian city of nipro for the first time. emergency services there saying the strikes hit near a kindergarten and an apartment building. our next guest is sheltering there with her husband and brother after leaving kharkiv to escape heavy russian shelling. she is a member of the ukrainian volunteer journalists initiative and joins me now. thank you for talking to us. thank god you are safe but you have other family members still in kharkiv. your parents are still in kharkiv. is there any effort to get them

out? >> hello, thank you for having me on. yes, my parents are still in kharkiv. they made the decision to stay there but the main reason -- it is very difficult for them to change their -- they decided to stay there. they are telling me they feel themselves more or less safe in our apartment house. the area in which our apartment house is situated in kharkiv seems to be quite safe for now but i don't know what to expect in the near two or three hours and talking about days. i am trying to convince them to move out of the apartment and leave the city but unfortunately i didn't succeed for now. so i am just praying for them

every morning and evening and sleep times of day and checking the news all the time in order to hear news coming from kharkiv. we left kharkiv four days ago after the massive air strike just nearby our apartment house. me and my husband and my brother, we got out of the corridor and got on a bus. it would take some people to the railway station and later on for those who could not effort to rent an apartment or flat, there are refugee centers. those like us who have payment, we found a place of our own.

it is a place of friend of a friend of my parents. >> julie: i understand when you left your apartment, the apartment building right outside the apartment building is where the shelling was occurring. how worried are you for your parents and are they planning on leaving at some point or are they going to hunker down and stay and once they do escape like you are in nipro. at some shelters there is no heat and they want to find somewhere warm and are boarding buses. >> correct, 100%. as for my parents their apartment house is still receiving water and gas and lights and internet connection even. so for now it seems to be more or less quiet and safe place because the area, there are different districts in kharkiv. one of the districts suffered

more from air strikes. one of them it seems to be more safer. the area where my parents are situated is -- receive all the supplies and hopefully it will continue like this. but in case i will find any chance to get them out of there. >> julie: good luck to you and to your parents and our thoughts are with you and we truly appreciate you taking time to talk to us today. best of luck. >> thank you so much. >> julie: fox news with video today from red cross teams. the organization fanning out workers and volunteers across the country and in neighboring nations. they are actually delivering aid of all kinds to ukrainians, food, water, fuel, medicine. through fox more than 21,000 people have donated for a total of more than $3 million so far. incredible.
