>> everybody know that aircraft defense is the best. everybody knows that arms are strong. we can ask why we cannot get-- why israel didn't introduce powerful sanctions, why russian businesses-- but, you have to make a choice. you have to choose the answer and you have to live with this answer, people of israel.

mike: that was president zelensky speaking to the israeli , urging israel for more help to fight the russian invasion as the battle in the port city of mariupol intensifies. welcome to "fox new live". ima mike emanuel with fox team coverage near the border in poland and mark meredith at the white house but let's start off with mike tobin live on the ground in lviv, ukraine. reporter: the civilian death toll gets worse every day as russian forces pounded the city of mariupol which is on the precipice of falling under russian control. most of the housing in the city of mariupol is said to be destroyed, to buildings used as bomb shelters to direct hits with women, children and elderly inside. there is a so many civilians killed, leaders of the town are having trouble handling the burials as they are burying a loved ones next to their home. one resident described the escape and what the assault was like.

>> they began to destroy our city completely, house after house. battles took place over every street, every house was a target. at first there was no fear. gunfire took out the windows. it was below freezing temperatures. reporter: with reports russian troops are pushing closer to the center of mariupol. we have video in the next town. it's a town russians said they controlled early on in the invasion and now russian leaders say they are tightening the noose on a mariupol. further west, a key city of russians moving west to odessa, a ukrainian marine barracks were hit with as many as 40 killed and that could make it the most deadly strike on a military target since the invasion began. back to you. mike: mike tobin live in lviv. my, i'm wondering, i don't see you worrying a helmet, which is great,

relatively's peaceful at least so far this evening there in lviv? reporter: in lviv it has been relatively peaceful with airstrikes in the western side of the country, but primarily military targets. you don't see the indiscriminate fire of civilian structures that you do to the eastern part of the country. mike: we are in the fourth week of the russian invasion and i'm wondering interactions with ukrainians you have come in contact with and how their spirits are at this stage. reporter: it's a terribly sad. it's terribly dark. they know in order to prevail they will have to endure a lot more death, a lot more civilian death, not just soldiers dying on the battlefield. they can see from mariupol that civilians will pay with their lives before it's over and before the russians are repelled, but here in the west, thus far they know the work could come this way, but thus far they don't see any signs it's coming this way. mike: mike tobin doing a

phenomenal job live in lviv. stay safe, brother max thank you. mike: president biden getting ready to head to belgium for his summit with nato leaders and mark meredith is live at the white house with the latest reaction from the biden administration and the growing humanitarian crisis in ukraine. reporter: good afternoon. president biden should be leaving delaware in a minute making his way back to the white house for what will be a busy week as he leaves wednesday for a big meeting for a nato headquarters meeting thursday. the growing threat to security across eastern europe that rationale poses with the administration insisting it's doing all i can to boost ukraine fighting forces, but critics argue that administration is moving too slowly and should reconsider sending ukraine fighter jets that poland has offered to give up and other offers from nearby nato countries. among those urging the us to urge-- do more is

the republican senator who spoke to fox news earlier this sunday. >> the biggest problem here is that the administration has a bunch of lawyers who are treating this as if it's a cya pr crisis instead of the national security crisis it is so my messages to the president is a simple, stop listening to your advisors who say belinsky is a dead man walking and stop listening to those that say ukraine will lose. reporter: the president is expected to consult with other nato allies with what can be done to bolster ukraine's military and we will also watch the fallout that the president had friday with xi jinping in which he said warning china could come with serious consequences. the china-- china has been speaking out against some sanctions. un ambassador says that they are still very-- they are potentially urging russia to pull back. >> they have to decide where they will go from

this point and not sit on the fence and call out the russian aggression for what it is and not put themselves in the position of defending what is indefensible. reporter: we will look to see if china may change its tone going forward after the president's phone call. the president will be going to nato headquarters but white house officials announced there are no plans for him to step foot in ukraine, but they continue to have a open dialogue with a ukrainian president as he continues to ask the world for help. mike: we heard president zelensky basically call on president biden to lead the world in this crisis. any sense the white house will go to europe with the president bringing a different tone with them? reporter: i think the white house would argue they've done a lot of pointing to the money that's gone out the door, more than a billion dollars this month alone and military aid, but you have heard from a number of critics from both parties that have said is it possible more could be done, cord more

aid get into their or more assistance from nato countries. in terms of a tone, i imagine the president can speak more about united bully from the nato alliance and the us commitment to the alliance remains as firm as ever-- ever. mike: thank you very much. russia's heavy shelling of ukrainian cities the been a massive humanitarian crisis as many residents are trapped by russian forces and face potentially fatal shortages of food, water and medicine. we are in poland where a staggering 2 million refugees have flooded in from ukraine. reporter: hello, mike. every couple of minutes i look around and see brand-new faces because it's just a constant sea of people that move through here. command walk with me over here. we had a train route-- load of refugees that just got off the train and you can see they are trying to figure out which bus they will get on.

some are actually taking a seat in the hallway with their families and you can see they are pretty much all women, children and elderly. they are just exhausted. you can see on their look at they are exhausted, they are tired and truly they can't believe they are in this situation. this weekend, humanitarian cord court order for his evacuation and supply deliveries was opened up. it comes after days of indiscriminate attacks on eastern ukrainian cities. that doesn't necessarily mean security for everyone is always a safe and for those who cannot leave things are even more dire. un is reporting residents of mariupol are now facing potentially fatal shortages of food, water and medicine. meanwhile, in odesa officials are pleading with the rest of the world for food for some 450,000 residents there. i have got to see

firsthand stockpiles of un aid getting across the border to teams embedded in ukraine. here's the thing, aid workers there are struggling to reach these displaced people and they are often times taking shelter with ukrainians under constant air raid with a flurry of congressional activity on the ground on the poland side. two to delegations, senators yesterday and house members today who believe the fastest way to stop the humanitarian crisis right now is to help the ukrainian win this war, to arm them with whatever it is they need. republicans, you heard over and over on this channel say that includes jets. they want to get those two that ukrainians as quickly as possible and i want to remind everyone, early on in this in the first couple of days of this war the united nations predicted , expected up to 4 million people would flee the country of ukraine. we are about 20 some

days into this and we are almost reaching that number. this is just going to continue to get worse as the situation deteriorates. mike: we see so many angelic little faces, these children who had left home with whatever they could grab, perhaps saying goodbye to their dad. how are they coping with this uncertainty and this stress? reporter: it's unimaginable, i mean, i think back to my family when they were refugees after the partition of india and pakistan and i can imagine what these little guys and gals are going three, i mean, the look on their faces is, where are we, what are we doing here and there is this one little boy here waving. there are people here, volunteers that are trying to make them smile, make them laugh, trying to take their mind off of it. some of these folks will wind up at refugees centers for a night or two and then onto a more

permanent place where they can enroll their children in schools. we have met some of the families that have children going to school now, but they come home and they ask their parents why are we here, what are we doing here, where are my friends, where's my father, why can't we be home. they just don't quite understand and how can you ask them to understand? it's a traumatic life experience and i personally pray that they don't remember any of this when they get older because this is just beyond imaginable for any family to go through. mike: heartbreaking stories. you are doing a brilliant job of bringing us those stories. thank you, my friend. 25 days into russia's war on ukrainian russian forces continue to target civilians indiscriminately bombing cities, destroying homes, but hope is on the horizon. turkish officials are reporting russia and ukraine may be nearing a agreement on critical issues. joining me live from kyiv's gift-- ukraine's

situation in mariupol remains tragic. remains surrounded by russian national jurors and the people who remain are trying to say there is live is. we still don't know the exact number of how many ukrainians have managed to abandon the ct, but a huge amount of people are fighting for their lives because of lack of food, water, facilities, warmth and basic things that people need and what i have heard from different people in mariupol, that families are berating their kids near their houses because people have been dying. mike: turkey claims russia and ukraine are close on critical issues that could lead to a cease-fire. do you believe that? >> it's quite difficult to assess. the possible outcome of several tracks of negotiations we have both under the mediation

of turkish republic and i think of course as far as ukrainian committed to the pool manic resolution and have been vocally many times including my president is open saying we need to have a conversation, we need to have a meeting and he can insist on the meeting with president putin if he is not scared. i'm quoting him. let's same there is a frame we've managed with the meetings and negotiations. still, there are issues that have the potential of negotiation and we are doing so, but still there are issues that probably may not be compromised and i'm talking about the territorial integrity because international laws may not be compromised so this is probably the biggest obstacle. this is exactly why president zelenskyy insists on having the meeting with president

putin and let me be frank and clear saying that ukrainian diplomacy is building upon two elements. armed forces of ukraine that are bravely fighting and resisting and including people when they stop russian tanks with their bare hands. i will say human bravery, amazing bravery. the second issue is the international community is pretty much consolidated. i have never witnessed these level of consolidation when it comes to the sanction policies, isolation of russia and it's something that should be kept on because while we have children killed, why we have ukrainian people killed, sanctions must not be stopped and should not be stopped. mike: my understanding is that you are from crimea so my guess is this is very personal level at mayor putin is trying to keep your part of the country. is that correct?

>> absolutely. i have personal trauma since 2014 when i traveled the peninsula and saw it with my own eyes and i knew it was a crime. let me give a personal feeling that i think that our inability to give a proper decisive response to putin in 2014 and when i say our, i referred to not only that ukrainian authorities, not only to the ukrainian leadership , but also the international community so the direct consequence of that inability and numbness is this war and i think it looks like you know the second world war issue when the territory was occupied by hitler when the international community and some countries were thinking they could appease hitler by giving him a piece of land that belonged to the czechoslovakia republic and i think that parallel with crimea

when we believe we can silence putin, we can appease him or reconcile his aggressiveness, i think we are wrong and we have to be clear saying that if we aren't able to stop this pure evil here in ukraine, it will become larger and bigger because it's always about the nature of aggressiveness it. it's always bigger when it's not stopped. mike: i'm sure you have family and friends who would like for you to leave and go someplace safer. i admire your courage. why do you stay? >> absolutely. this is a very difficult issue. i just had a phone conversation with my kids, with my two daughters 10 minutes ago. i kept myself just not to cry because i miss them a lot. i am staying in another place for the safety reasons we cannot tell the exact places where we are staying, but we are in ukraine and the ukrainian government is operating.

the system of administer of foreign affairs is truly operational so my whole coordination is so far myself and what i would say, it's because it's crucial for all diplomats to be strongly coordinated and we are doing our best to perform the level of coordination. i think we are doing a great team job and what actually amazes me also a lot even though i am ukrainian and i have seen it for eight years and even though i was having my personal story with crimea having ukrainians united but it's what we have so far is unprecedented level of humanity and i think our nation is actually going through this stage of rebirth and what we have so far even though we have aggressiveness, cruelty, barbaric treatment with people killed and today for example when russians were just bombing the nursing homes and 55 seniors that died

because of these barbaric actions, i mean, the cities have been just swept away by missile attacks and of course it's difficult to see, but from another hand i believe that we are paying the highest price for independence, the price our people and the life of our people. i believe that at the end of the day, we will become stronger because we are ready to fight and we have been improving not only to all others, but to ourselves that we are a nation, we are united. mike: god bless you, your family and the ukrainian people. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much. mike: the number of ukrainian refugees seeking asylum at our southern border is increasing and us officials there have been told to consider allowing the refugees into the country by exempting them from the title 42 restrictions put in place to combat the coban pandemic. christina coleman has the details on that

story live from los angeles. reporter: a number of ukrainians are healer in california after arriving at the us-mexico border. him and his 13 family members including his three young children are safe in san diego after escaping ukraine. they traveled before flying to mexico across into the us from tijuana. he said the long trip was both physically and emotionally draining. for many ukrainians who have escaped the war and left everything behind. >> and they are tired. they face sleeping on plastic. they don't know what to eat. it's very bad. reporter: marinas cousin and her 6-year old son are now safe in beverly hills after her relatives escaped gunfire, bombing and starvation in kyiv.

they traveled through six countries in nine days before they could get into the us last monday through tijuana. in a dhs memo authorities were constructed to consider exempting migrants with ukrainian passports from title 42 entering the us to seek a silent-- asylum. they are happy to be here. they were granted one year vanity aryan parole allowing them to stay in the us for now. mike: christina, thank you. russian forces pushing deeper into ukraine intensifying attacks on the western side of the country while trying to gain control in the south. on sat with me now to help break down russian military moves is former national security adviser keith kelly. now serving as the cochair of the center for american security at the american first policy center. in general, welcome. >> thanks for having me. mike: let's look at the map.

you are talking about some of the fighting in the south and east. where you want to go? >> if you look at the fighting now predominantly in the eastern portion of the country, the western is actually intimidation by fire. the dnieper river which goes down in that area, that's really the eastern part of the country. a lot of russian speaking, not russian supporting. i think if you want to know the truth he started this operation and made a huge strategic error. he started with five-- five main attacks instead of one. he should have concentrated on kyiv. if you look at a chessboard, kyiv is backing and the queen. is the central part of government, the center of gravity because it is their government and it's where president zelensky is and if you don't take kyiv and get president zelensky you lose. right now it's stalemate. he's probably in plan c so while all of this import on the southeast

part of the country where he's connecting crimea with the breakaway republics, he really hasn't got a chance to take the rest of the country. he doesn't have troop and task to go further to the west. he may settle for what he's got and try to go for negotiations. mike: he wants the ports of the black sea and there's great focus for humanitarian disaster with heavy fighting and people running out of food, water and medicine. >> this is a crime against humanity. there is no tactical operational region-- reason military speaking to shelled those cities. it's purely intimidation and it's interesting this week at the international center for justice in the hague on a 13-two boat they basically said it's approaching genocide if it's not genocide already. we have to make sure he understands that you have gone way beyond the pale, not just you, but your military officers as well. mike: the map here shows us some

areas we are looking at. here is the northern region, chernobyl and concerns about that and fighting to the northeast of kyiv in the northwest of kyiv. >> he has not been able to take the city. the city is going to fight. he will have to go into the city that used it to be 3 million and now it's about 1.5 million. there is generally a troop ratio and offense of operations and you want to like a three to one advantage and if you going to the city is about 10 to one, street by street, block by block, house by house and they said they will fight and it will absolutely waste his forces because he doesn't have the forces and what i understand he's moving forces from around moscow into the fight. that means he's committed his reserve and if he started to commit his operational reserve, he cannot move to the west. he just doesn't have the troops and task so he will have to figure out how to get out of the mess he created. mike: as a 36 year military man,

talk to me about the fight of the ukrainian soldiers to defend their capital. >> look, everybody's got to stand back and admire what that ukrainian people and their soldiers have done. they are fighting hard road late. when you look and some said it would end in three days, remember general millie said kyiv would fall in three days and four weeks later here we are. that other cities are the same way so you have to stand back and admire how they are fighting. military is fighting smart. they are not taking them on take two tank, they are fighting individually in the field, in the force and they are doing quite well. they have stymied the russians and i think the russians have been taken back because they are used to fighting like this. we have seen incredible pause of how the russians fight. they are no longer 10 feet tall to me. they are about 5'4". mike: thank you for your service and your time today. we will have more on russia's military moves

find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com mike: refugees that escaped from the battered city of mariupol describing the russian bombing. nick joins me now with the latest. reporter: thanks for having me. horrible story. we know how bad things are in mariupol. this woman hopped on a train with her 13-year old son and explained what the conditions were like when they left. >> we left because shells hit the house. there was no roof. there were people injured. in our building in the cultural center class began to shatter. we were forced to leave to that's marina right there she fled with her 13-year old son along with a couple hundred more people. marina and her son were sheltering in a basement for three weeks with limited or no access to

water, electricity or gas and said the communications were also down to the point where her own mother and father don't even know that she has left the city, so i do want to show you mariupol, where they last-- left as conditions continue to get worse and worse with 80% of the homes destroyed. ukrainian officials estimate at least 2300 people have been killed there. we know the artist school that was a sheltering 400 people was bombed. we don't know how many people were killed from that, but today we know regional governor says of russia quote they keep attacking, bombardment, airstrikes, shooting in the city's constant. he also says more civilians tried to evacuate are getting killed and he also-- we also have new video after a bombing in kyiv. in the past hour we showed you the mayor of kyiv walking around and surveying that damage addressing its people and we are now taking you inside the building where you can see extensive damage.

unbelievable. according to the mayor, no one died, but he does say a couple people were hospitalized as uc with an apartment there totally destroyed after that bombing. he believes the russians are attacking civilians trying to wear down the defense and decrease morale. however, he believes that it's a doing the exact opposite and it's inspiring his people to continue fighting. back to you. mike: nate, live in new york city. long week. thank you very much, nate. as heavy russian shelling out artillery fire continues to rain down on ukraine one way the us is insists-- assisting the country is by sharing intelligence. let's bring in former cia chief of station, dan hoffman. welcome. there has been talk about weapons of mass discretion inside ukraine. is that all russian propaganda? >> yeah, the kremlin propaganda machine has been spewing disinformation about

ukraine having chemical biological nuclear weapons and nothing could be further from the truth. that was refuted last week during a us intelligence community testimony in front of the senate. russia does have those weapons and they have used them before. vladimir putin used that band chemical nerve agent to try to kill his opposition figure. he's used other chemical as a russia military is bogged down as you and general kellogg just described vladimir putin has grown more risk tolerant and there has to be a legitimate concern as unlikely as it might be that russia would resort to using some weapons of mass destruction and in ukraine as horrific as that might sound to all of us. mike: from your experience, what kinds of things would us intelligence bid-- be doing right now to help ukraine and the site cracks.

>> us intelligence community is on a full court press collecting tactical intelligence on russian military movements, on threats to president zelenskyy. he is reportedly faced down at least three of those, detected those threats and preempted them before they could materialize in causing harm. the us intelligence community has to be focused on russian ministry of defense and deployed units, nuclear weapons or chemical weapons. we know that chain of command and we are focused-- i'm sure the community is focused on collecting information about plans and intentions for the russians to use the and the follow-up is for president biden and his team to message the russians publicly and for the department of defense to contact their counterparts there's a lot of interaction between us military and russian military to wave them off. this is vladimir putin's war and it's important to remind the russian military that they can

stop these horrific attacks on ukrainian civilians and not have to pay the price for doing it. mike: so the russian people are not the enemy, it's vladimir putin. are you struck by the struggles of the russian military cracks most would have thought they would've had an easier time. >> so, after russia's invasion of georgia in 2008, they drew a lot of lessons about hybrid warfare and embarked on at least what they thought was a modernization program, but it hasn't really gone that well and reminds me of the words of a former prime minister who used to say you want everything to be better, but it kind of happens to be the same every time and as try as they might the russians are facing the same problems they has faced since going back to world war ii, bad supply, bad logistics, ineffective military commanders on the ground, bad morale and then on the other side ukraine might not have water, electricity and food and a lot of their cities but they have a lot of heart and the will to fight that

russia has appeared to underestimated. mike: a big part of the intelligence work is trying to assess world leaders thinking. what do you assess in terms of vladimir putin's thinking at this point? >> all indications are that vladimir putin is escalating, not to de-escalate, but escalating. he doesn't see any offramp as he is barreling down the ukrainian highways raining down hell on civilians in the process, but i'm reminded of a story that vladimir putin used to tell when he was a child and he confronted a rat and cornered the rat and the rat went out and bit him and boot was the one who had to run away. it still might be good idea so as my friend used to say that served with me, likes to say it's important to leave the russian bear a weight out through the forest and don't corner vladimir putin so that's why the negotiations are important, how we deal with vladimir putin's status as a war criminal is a separate matter,

but having a way out is probably a good idea. mike: former cia station chief dan hoffman, thanks so much. >> thank you. mike: surprising finish for a transgender swimmer lia thomas in her final college race. more on that next life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar. live every moment.
