ukraine day 17 in our war with russia. the crews on the ground are reporting heavy shelling in and around the capital city of kyiv. the latest in a series of live reports throughout the next two hours. plus, special report brett beyer is back to western ukraine tonight and ukrainian refugees streaming to poland. we have a crew on the border there as millions are flee and poland is asking the world for help because of the massive humanitarian crisis. our coverage begins with up to the minute reporting from our co-host, benjamin hall live from kyiv. good morning to you, benjamin. >> good morning, shannon. yes, the sun coming up in kyiv, ukraine. a sleepless night for many in the city. ment the shelling, the bombardment, great that we've seen it so far since we've been here. still not in the center of the city, but off in the distance, to the east and the northwest. heavy bombardment, ground rockets or air strikes.

the offensive against the capital city has begun and with it comes hard break, families torn apart. lives, ruined. we were at a children's hospital earlier on. we heard horrific stories. i want to warn you that the image you' are about to see have disturbing images. these young girls sing to each other in the children's hospital of kyiv. they have seen tragedy but resilience shines through. others not so lucky. this boy died on the way in. his body lies in a dark corner waiting to be picked up. children are caught in the middle, more are wounded every day, more families are torn apart. 8 years old brought in badly injured. his family's car attacked when they were trying to flee the city. his father was kill in front of him. his mother can hardly handle the pain. >> it's hard to live without him. we have been together for 15

years. no one said a bad word about him. >> he knows his father is dead, but wakes up and sees him in the room. even at this young age, he wants revenge. >> he understands everything. he says when he gets better, he will go with his grandpa and shoot russians. >> she's 6 and her legs are badly injured. she watched her mother die in front of her when a sheller to through her apartment. she kept screaming, mummy's dead. now they don't talk about it. children, each with their own terrible stories filled the corridors of the hospital moved up and down from the basement each time the sirens rang out. after it came under fire last week, most were evacuated to the west. now most of the corridors lie dark and empty awaiting the next victim. three died here already. in one corner of the darkened hospital we find a baby, 2 months old abandoned at birth.

he was due to be adopted abroad and now the parents have changed their mind. a little life stuck in this hell. a little life without a family. difficult scenes to watch there from here in kyiv. and to continue our coverage today, i want to bring in our senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot live from lviv, ukraine i want to get your view on something happening in the west of the country. we're seeing air strikes around where you are. what is the significance of that? is this a play by putin to shift the attention and move his fofrss that way? -- forces that way? >> maybe not shift ail tension, but direct attention for sure, benjamin. yeah, what we saw friday morning early is two important air bases hit in the west part of the ukraine. ( we haven't seen that in many, many days. a couple of reasons for that, first, these are bases used by mig fighter jets that are still operating and are still in the

skies of ukraine, even at this late date in the campaign, two weeks plus, russia still does not have complete domination of this guy. maybe they're trying to get it with these hits. the second thing is they bay -- it could be used, although it's kind of very top classified information, an as a way station for the military aid that is coming in from poland, from other countries. this could be an effort by russia to try to cut that off, to stem that flow. but just about an hour ago here in lviv, benjamin, we heard sirens again, so there's the sign that there could be more activity. and we've heard of that actually more activity at one of the bases near us. >> it seems the rest of the country is a lifeline for the distance for the ukrainian troops you're fighting whachlt

do you know about westerners coming in. are they getting supplies across? are they getting what they need? >> getting what they need probably is not the correct phrase. getting something is good. it's described as one of the major -- major efforts by allies to move both military and humanitarian aid across the borders here that nato is very taken with it. poland is a major axis for this. there are bases that are kept quiet, bases along the border between poland and ukraine where all of this military aid comes in. we're talking about anti-tank missiles, man based missiles. all of this material that is coming in to really good use by the ukrainian military in the last two weeks. really the reason why you're seeing those pictures of the tanks and the trucks and other

apartmentments, the hit is because of this, because it's getting through. but they want more. ben? >> absolutely. the same thing here. it is never enough. they can always do more. greg palkot live in lviv. we'll be back soon. shannon? >> shannon: let's bring in brett beyer. here back in tracking the russian attempt to widen to western ukraine tonight. hello, brett. >> good evening. take a look at what's happening in ukraine, has been happening in the past few hours and this past day. a little of expansion by the russian air attack. that is to the west here. this is the town of lusk. and there was an attack, a bombing of the airfield there for ukrainian servicemen, killed six woungded. there was an airfield taken out. and also another airfield, no

one was killed here. but it was interesting to see whether it was the mig29 back and forth and whether they didn't want the airfields used but the russians struck that. also here in nipro, a big attack, this was an industrial area. and this was the fourth largest city in ukraine. a major industrial hub had not been hit before. but now seeing a lot of activity. still activity here in the south where you have an area outside of mariopole essentially under russian control. most of the activity here around kyiv in the past day or so. we were talking about the south here, and mariopole, we talked about the movement of russian forces against crimea. there's the armored column coming both ways that has been a serious attack. but a lot of pushback from the ukrainian forces including the

javelins. the video, this is near a school and playground, that's a tank, a russian tank. it looks like it's been hit by a javelin anti-armor missile in this video from the ukrainians. we're seeing a lot of this in a number of different places. let's go back to the map. take you up to kyiv in the north and central part of ukraine. here you can see the capital city again, the similar movement that we saw from the russians from the north and also now coming from the west, looking to encircle kyiv, but we don't know exactly when that's going to happen. it's been slow moving and the pushback from the ukrainians has been significant. so, it's a matter of whether they get the weapons and how much this insurgency that's taken out will be successful. senator warner on a special report last night said russia is losing and see if the ukrainians

can continue that in the coming days, shannon, back to you. >> shannon: thank you very much. see you next hour. in the meantime, the mayor of warsaw, poland is asking for international help tonight. dealing with many of the 2.5 million people who have fled ukraine and arrived in poland. alex hogan is there and she showed us the story from warsaw. >> i must save my child. >> the safety of the 4-year-old was with mother, corinna. >> you can't save your child, it's a terrible thing. >> the women bonded by war, spent six days in a bomb shelter before arriving in poland. >> i'm really thinking about this. >> as food and water run out in ukrainian cities, bombings and shellings increase. and there's a migration of mothers fleeing the country leaving their homes and husbands to save their kids.

>> you can't feel safe. >> the faces of children crossing the border mobilizing volunteers around the world. >> i have a little boy who is 2. i have sign children on the tele, made me think of him. that's why i did it. >> people flee the country in droves. other head back in. there are vans lined up one after the other waiting the long lines herement. most of them with trunks like this, filled with clothing, diapers, food, medical supplies, anything that might be needed for those still across the border. poland said it has accepted more than 1.5 million refugees exceeding any other country. in the border village, buses shuttle them to nearbies and refugee centers. like the others who arrive, little yevi is safe. it's too soon to process everything they've seen and lost.

>> i don't feel safe now. i will feel safe when i will be with my friends maybe in warm house. but right now, it's not yet. >> the three plan to stay in germany with friends but many don't have international connections, the poland government is partnering with a united states aid agency to provide assistance to those in need. shannon? >> shannon: thank you very much. president biden taking steps to cripple the russian economy and punish vladimir putin for what vice president harris is now calling war crimes. the administration is trying to blame putin for a host of domestic political problems. kevin cork is on it. good evening. >> good evening. you can imagine the president and allies are doing what they can to hurt russia, including revoking russia's most favored trade status and another blow to

the economy. the sanctions are the latest in a series of economic measures against russia including an oil band and a tax penalty initiative announced by the senate's finance committee chairman, ron widen. and the white house continues to insist that soaring inflation at home and fast-rising gas prices are not the result of biden energy policies. rather, they're the kremlin's fault. >> through the facts. democrats didn't cause this problem. vladimir putin did. and we are working on to fix it. because of the work we did -- we also know no one -- no one way to increase the standard of living. putin's gas tax has pushed gas prices higher. pushed the prices of cars down. >> he called it putin's gas tax. on capitol hill, republicans are suggesting that the president and frankly those in his

administration are just lying to you. this is kevin mccarthy on twitter. quote, these are not putin gas prices, they are president biden gas prices. now, for context, do keep in mind, the gas prices have been steadily rising across the usa since mr. biden took office,ing although since the russian invasion, yes, they have risen more sharply. the treasury department, shannon, is hitting russia, the oligarchs, and members of the legislature, the entire board of the second largest bank for additional sanctions, half of the financial pressure campaign continues. shannon >> we will see you later. thank you very much. >> you bet. >> back to benjamin in kyiv where we understand there's more activity. benjamin? >> in the last couple of minutes, we had a long volley of gun fire not too far from where

we are and a larger explosion in the city center. not sure what it was. but certainly the feeling here is that the war is getting closer, the offensive is coming sooner than anticipated. we're going to keep an eye on that for you and bring you straight back as soon as anything else happens with more developments. so, for now, i want to bring in my panel. we have nathan sadler, the former director of intelligence programs in the trump white house, a former navy s.e.a.l. and a chief of staff and vice chairman of the america first policy institute. thank you so much for being with us today. fred, if i might start with you. we talk again and again about what it is that president putin is trying to achieve here. there is one thing that perhaps would be foolish for him to try to achieve. that's an occupation of this country. now i want to read something from "the wall street journal" earlier, an editorial that says should he take and establish a firm hold on kyiv and other cities, mr. putin will find himself in an entirely different

phase of the effort occupation. the soviet experience and afghanistan in 1982 and '89 give a sense of how tall an order mr. putin has chosen. you look at that, you look at how the forces are right now. he's intent on capturing more of the country. is he looking for an off ramp between now and then? >> i hope he's looking for an off ramp. in shakespeare'smac beth, i'm going to paraphrase it, i don't want the english professors to get mad. there's a line -- i'm so steep in blood, i have to continue, i can't turn back. i just worry where putin is right now, given how far he has gone, given the scope of the atrocities, given the amount of pride he will lose if he turns back. that's why i think it's desperate we have to create a diplomatic off ramp and press hard for negotiations.

i was disappointed that there was not one word about negotiations in the statement that joe biden made. he wanted to sit up top but he's not doing anything to sofl the crisis. -- to solve the crisis. >> it seems that negotiations might only be possible when vladimir putin feels real pressure. i wonder, we've seen sanction after sanction, does not seem to have an effect. what can put that pressure on him and bring him to the negotiating table? >> putin is going to have to see very clearly that he cannot achieve his original objectives of occupying, seizing and occupying the entire country of ukraine. so, fred is exactly right. we have to be finding offramps. we're in a space of opportunity to find that. there should be so many more discussions about a diplomatic solution here. and i think it's obvious -- i mean, the easiest parts supposed to be the battlefield victory. you look at iraq, you look at

afghanistan. the difficult part is the occupation. if putin is having this much difficulty with phase one, good luck occupying ukraine. >> one other -- one other element that i think we want to keep talking about here is the role of china. i want to play you something that william burns, the cia director said and get your views on that in a moment. have a listen. >> i do however think president xi is unsettled. by what he's seen transpire in the last 15 days in ukraine. i don't think they anticipated the russian military would be largely ineffective. they're worried about reputational damage and the wider economic consequences. >> some european press saying that china could perhaps play a role in mediating it. are they against russia, with russia? how could they play a role? would it be positive? >> i don't think china can play

a role. it's too close to the russians. i think the chinese are conflicted. they want to exploit the situation. they welcome a disruption to the international world order. this one is hurting them, it's hurting their economy and their relationships with their initiative states. there have been some indications lately that the chinese might be calling on the russians to call it off or move to negotiations. we need to press china to move -- >> interesting. i'm afraid that's all we have time for. i wish we had more, we're going to come back another day. thanks for joining us. back after this break. >> thank you. >> good to be here. i've always focused on my career. but when we found out our son had autism,

>> welcome back to our special coverage of the war if ukraine. the explosions we had a few minutes ago are silenced. it's a piercing sound because the city itself is silent. people have fled and hunkered down. it's a city that feels like a ghost town. we're going to keep you updated on anything that happens on the ground. first of all, in the meantime, bring in our colleague, greg palkot, senior affairs correspondent. he's in lviv this morning. greg, another development today which is we saw an attack on an assault in the central city of nipro. i wonner what the significance there is? >> it's yet another rueb con,

the russian military to get control of ukraine. this is a fairly major city, maybe the fourth largest in ukraine. more important, though, it is centrally located between northern cities, like kyiv, the southern regions, like crimea, and it still has not been hit until friday -- friday was the first time. the overall thinking, benning militia, is what the military can do, the russian military could come up and come down from both sides and basically call -- create a barrier, a line of defense using the nipa river which that city is on and other cities are on. and isolate the ukrainian military on east side of the country, basically cut them off from supplies, cut them off from connections with the western part of the country.

if that is successful, that will do a lot to hinder the effectiveness of the ukrainian military, benjamin? >> look at the wider picture. i don't want to put you on the spot here. what do you think victory would look like for vladimir putin. what do you think he would be happy or content with. what do you think his goal is here? >> a very good question. a more important question as we stand here in lviv. a lovely city in the western part of the country. could he live with a -- a state over here -- that is, could he decide not to take the western half of the country and be satisfied with the eastern half. obviously, that would be a huge undertaking for him just on it's own with the major cities and major industrial centers. but after two weeks plus of

watching the ukrainian military fighting back with such strength and the russians faltering on so many fronts on so many ways, you've got to imagine this is going to be a tougher task to go all the way, even part of the way, back to you. >> senator warner telling him at this point, the russians are losing on the battlefield. see how this plays out. but we never know what vladimir putin is thinking or how far he wants to go. greg palkot live for us in lviv, thank you very much. back to shannon? >> shannon: we have new images of how the russian bombardment in ukraine is affecting children. mike tobin reports on that also from lviv. >> in time of war, the most vulnerable face the greatest suffering. melania is the cancer patient from the town of nipro bombed

today. she's being treat in a hospital in lviv in the west away from most of the fighting. the chernobyl hospital is named because it originally treated victims of the 1986 nuclear disaster. now the hospital treats pediatric cancer patients. kids with kidney failure get dialysis here. kids needing dialysis face a unique risk in this war. they need their blood cleaned every two days. a little less than the time it takes to first escape the fighting, then battle the traffic, check points, and crowds escaping over ukraine's western border. those who know stop in lviv. >> they get treatment now in lviv, safer than other parts of ukraine. >> the plane station has been a hub. millions have passed through hoping for a next train to another country to safety. those forced to stop here have no plan, nowhere to rest. often the first contact is an

aid organization like the red cross. >> they need some psychological help at first. because they escape from war and they were totally in panic. >> every act of kindness is doing -- is doing this -- and if we're united, we can stand anything. >> the deputy director of the chernobyl hospital tells me they have enough supplies to keep treating kids for another two weeks. they are running low on i knew no suppressant drugs. they are from the kidney transplants that keep them from rejecting organs in lviv, fox news. >> from ukraine, coming up, the

>> time now for a check on friday's other top headlines across the u.s. correspondent ashley stromyer is joining us now. >> a police officer is cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in the shooting death of a teenager. the columbus police officer shot and killed mikai bryant as she slung a knife, a young woman, seconds after he pushed her to the ground. shot her four times. police are responding to a 911 call made from bryant's foster mom about a group of girls threatening to stab people in the house hold. a grand jury will not indict

deshaun watson following lawsuits filed by 22 women accusing him of sexual assault and harassment. police started to investigate in april of 2021. the fbi was reviewing the allegations. watson's lawyers said some sexual activity happened in the time he was accused but never coerced anyone into it. gabby pitino's parents are -- a suit was file in florida accuse them of being aware their son killed gabby. you'll remember in july of 2021, 22-year-old pitino and 23-year-old laundry took across-country trip in their van. gabby was never seen again. they were seeking more than 100,000 in damages for alleged negligence, pain, and suffering. philly reached a grim milestone. the city marked 100 murders year to date. that's the soonest in the

calendar year that hit that mark since 2007. the commissioner released the report friday morning saying the department was devastated and would continue to utilize every resource they have to stem the tide of violence. philadelphia police reported 562 murders for the entire year of 2021, which was up by 63 from the year 2020. the police officers say the city is neck and neck with the murder stats in other big cities like chicago and new york city. shannon. >> shannon: ashley, we'll see you in a bit. thank you so much. keeping the focus here at home for a few minutes, the ongoing domestic political fallout from russia's war on ukraine. great to have you both back. >> hey, shannon, good to see you. >> thank you. >> i want to start with president biden today talking about rising gas prices. what and who is to blame. here's what he said. >> let's get something straight

here. the keystone pipeline was two years away. it was 2% finished. give me a break. give me a break. headline fact checker in "the new york times" -- republicans wrongly blame biden for rising gas prices and goes on to say why gas prices are so high. >> sorry, aaron, there you have it, president biden and "the new york times" say not his fault. >> well, i will listen to a "new york times" fact checker the same time i want a butcher to be my dog's veterinarian. they've been proven wrong time and time again. this is another example of that. joe biden said the buck stops here at the presidency but wants to be held accountable. but he's not addressing at all that the egregious spending has driven inflation, we slowed down energy production in the united states. the red tape and the bureaucracy for permitting has made it so difficult to be energy

independent in the united states, for a president who said his own administration that was fate acomp li for nordstream ii to come on-line to circumvent ukraine and go to germany was 2% done? two years ago from the last time joe biden said it was almost done, we could be looking at a nearly done keystone pipeline right now, a step closer to energy independence. >> shannon: i want to ask something about something i read. i need to let kevin defend himself and his fellow democrats. this is in "the wall street journal." it's talking about the q pole, the quinnipiac poll asking people what you would do if america was in the same position as ukrainians. most democrats said they would flee, not fight. shockingly more than 52% of democrats would cut and run if the u.s. homeland were invaded. what in the hell has happened in this country? one can hardly imagine the

americans ofiester year with yellow bellyism. where have the minute men gone, the autry murphies, the todd beamer. >> i grew up not far from todd beamer. we're both from central new jersey. i was a junior when 9/11 happened. that struck such a chord with me. i think the world is getting such inspiration from the brave ukrainians on the ground. those numbers are not just startling, horrifying to me that democrats would respond in that way. i'm here to fight, thank god we don't have an inge durings like -- an incursion like we see on the ground right now. aaron would defend every inch of our homeland. every patriotic democrat would feel the same way as well. i don't think that poll is reflective of true american patriotism or democratic pat roitism and the party i'm here

to represent >> shannon: i believe you would stay and fight. >> i'm with you in the trenches, the three of us. >> shannon: yes, also, the three of us are going to stay here, it's red dawn time and we're not going anywhere. another from the q-poll also, how is the president handling inflation and rising costs getting to the whole gas situation, 34% approve, 63% disapprove. quick final word to you, aaron? >> joe biden blamed everybody but himself, he blamed republicans, republicans. they have to look at the fact they hindered energy independence and saying to people buy an electric car? democrat talking points are just don't be poor and that's how you can curtail prices. we need energy independence. we shouldn't be asking venezuela, we should do it here in the united states, joe biden is accountable for this. >> shannon: going to meet one you guys for training and exercises in the woods.

>> let's do it. see you there. >> shannon: thank you both. appreciate your time. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> shannon: going to take you back to breaking coverage on the ground in ukraine, next. ♪♪ energy is everywhere... even in a little seedling. which, when turned into fuel, can help power a plane. at chevron's el segundo refinery, we're looking to turn plant-based oil into renewable gasoline, jet and diesel fuels.

and people will say, it's putin's fault. >> they're trying to blame everyone but themselves for their own policies that have put us in this position. we're already facing inflationary pressures that are hitting american consumers in the pocket. and, yet, this administration, time and again, is pursuing policies to make it harder to build out the necessary american energy infrastructure to provide reliable, affordable energy, not just to americans, but to our european allies right now when they need it the most. >> shannon: how do you respond to what we hear from the white house, there are thousands of leases out there that have not been developed and it's up to american energy producers to get with the program and get things moving? >> yeah, that's a shallow talking point. the reality is, american producers need to make investments.

and these are -- rife with uncertainty. really, really challenging to invest five, ten, 15 years of capital when you don't know what your own government is going to do. my former colleagues at the federal energy regulatory commission, two days before putin invaded ukraine, changed their approach to evolving -- to evaluating applications for natural gas pipelines for the first time in 20 years. and they waited until two days before putin invaded ukraine to do it. you want to talk about a chilling effect on investment that will make it harder to get american energy to market? that's the kind of action that will do that. >> a piece in "the washington post", the price hikes in the putin gas tax. he says they need to tell the

climate radicals that the war on fossil fuels will have to wait until we stop war on ukraine. he's going to deflect blame for his policies at home and abroad. that's a disgrace. we know that those groups have the president's ear. any chance he takes this moment in history and pivots? >> i hope so. here's the dramatic point about this. clean u.s. natural gas displacing dirty russian natural gas, not only has a positive geopolitical benefit to getting our allies alternative to russian gas but it combats climate change. it lowers global carbon emissions. it's a win, win, win. i don't understand why we are even hesitating to have this

conversation. >> we want you to come back. we have these conversations about cozying up to venezuela, iran, saudi arabia, with those who will take our phone calls. there's a lot of pushback on what's happening there. neil, appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> special coverage continues. more live reporting from ukraine, checking in with benjamin, next. the internet isn't all cat videos... be back soon. we all do things that leave us vulnerable to digital crime and financial loss. like using the same password you've had since high school.

>> welcome back to our extended coverage of fox news at night. shannon bream in washington. >> and i'm benjamin hall in kyiv, ukraine. let's bring back greg palkot live for us in western lviv. if we look forward to the next couple of days, what do we pay attention to. what might the moves be on the ground? >> i think the fist thing i would like to say is this is not the first day i have been back in about a month here in ukraine. and at that time, when early february when we left our reporting stint at that time, it was an anticipation. it was worrying. it was not any kind of belief that this could happen if there

really couldn't be an invasion. but, of course, a lot of fear. and now, a month later, a lot has changed. the invasion has happened. the uprooting of humanity now, 2.5 million individuals have left ukraine. 2 million more are on the move. no end in sight. the change at that time is the most remarkable. looking forward to see really where this goes. how far this war goes. i ask a lot of experts all the time what they think. and they give me the answers like, well, it could be over tomorrow, it could be over next week. it could be over in a couple of months. so many uncertainties. so, i think that's the other big impression i have right now, the grave uncertainties facing this country right now. and frankly, it all comes down to one person, vladimir putin over in moscow. >> greg, you know there's continued talk of trying to have the 12 humanitarian corridors to

get people out of the country. and yet, each time, there seems to be not a respect for that. it seems to be people risking their lives every time they try to move. today vice president harris said this is a war crime. any time you're targeting civilians, like you said, this is about putin. does any of that resonate with him, talk of war crimes or what may happen next, to him? >> i don't think it does, shannon. i think he's got a mission. i don't think the charges of possible war crimes means anything to him. i don't think the idea of shankses means anything. he's on an ugly mission getting uglier by the day. we don't know where this is going to go. what we are impressed, that's something else that, again, one month later, watching the ukrainian military, watching the ukrainian people, we heard a lot of value -- valiant lines back in january when we thought about

invasion. but now we're actually seeing some valiant actions. back to you, guys. >> thank you very much. >> yeah, thank you very much. both the bravery of the ukrainians as well as the sense there's no idea people leaving their homes in the last minute. this is a war that took many people by surprise, shannon? >> shannon: it seems that way. thank you very much. more live coverage next.
