important, a lot of good to help kids. man's cruelty to man particularly one particular man, try to make sense of it in these times, it is tough but on kids it raises a question, got to do something better. these guys are providing that. fox news continuing coverage of the ukraine war now. happening now multiple explosions heard in the your critic of the viva. it's 48 miles on post for this is president biden visits refugees and planning for eight major speech on they were coming up next hour. welcome to fox news alive i am gillian turner in washington. griff: great to be with you. we'll start with viewers to map to go up to speed what's just happened what's happened last 24 hours pretty heard the reports the russian forces with phase

two they want to focus on the eastern donbas region producing fierce fighting in the city of mariupol that continues to be pulverize, cut off, food, electricity, water even essentially set shut out from the world for this intense fighting. it is here in the western part of lviv, that city just 48 miles distance with the polish border there. it is where this attack has happened. if you want to know where our president is in warsaw, we were right to lviv or jeff paula standing by. jeff, what can you tell us? >> yes at first we heard the sound of air raid sirens followed by a little bit of a rumbling. that is we finally figured out what was going on behind us as you can see the black smoke billowing in the air. we are learning from the mayor

of lviv there could be more strikes raid on the corner. some say it could be an oil refinery there was some confusion at first this was a communication tower. lots of smoke in the air. i think what's really underscore is the placement of it and really the timing of it all. president biden right now in poland. there's a lot of talk about what could putin do next? was his next target? was he going to focus on the east part of the country it certainly looks but this strike here anything is on the table right now, griff, gillian. >> i want to ask is there any more insight? as we look at the map you see the recent strikes and lviv. the last strike that happen there about a little over a week ago march 18 they struck an aircraft maintenance facilities international airport in lviv. any idea this is anything other than a targeted strike as we have seen in the recent past?

>> i think it really is more of a message but sending the message to the rest of the world that no one else knows what's going to happen next except for vladimir putin. there's been talk it's an oil depot that's been targeted that certainly makes sense judging by all the black smoke billowing into the air. but lviv remains mostly off touch nobody has really touched it so far. most of the people here in the city have felt somewhat safe. a lot of people from the sounds have been hit super hard like mariupol have been coming here at somewhat of a safe haven for people escaping the brutal assaults by russian forces. but, we are learning according to the mayor here of lviv he believes this has happened at the hands of the russian army. the russian army hit this oil depot that we believe with a missile as far as any more information about what exactly happened there the toll that it has had on human life or property around this area it really unclear at the moment.

it is relatively close to the city center less than a mile from where we are standing right now. a lot of the people live here who have felt sort of optimistic the certainly changes everything. griff: excellent coverage there jeff, you mention the people in lviv have been spared from the anxieties obviously happening in the capitol of kyiv. and the southern eastern areas pretty short getting the reaction it seems perhaps they too are at least getting the message that they too could be targeted by putin. he can strike anywhere he wants at any time. >> yes look, griff, this is a war zone. no matter where you were out in the country this is a war zone. just judging by the things that have been attacked, nothing is off the table prepared from the ukrainian government theater have the word children written on the outside of it in russian was targeted.

so to think that any portion of this country is off the table would be naïve. especially see what's happening behind us here all the thick black smoke villas into the area. it somewhat jarring because of the message it sends to the people in this city who i think have been going about their daily lives defiantly because why not they should pray they should be going about their daily lives this is their country. but to see the thick black smoke billowing in the air you see it from all around here. i think it tells everyone be on the lookout, be on guard, anything could happen any moment especially when you have someone like vladimir putin at the controls. anything could be on the table at this point too. as for the people of this city, they really do not know what could happen next. because for the most part they have been watching videos, pictures of things happening in mariupol and kyiv. i have some at this in their own backyard. the question is, what could be hit next?

some people you talked on the ground here, they will say it russian is not known for its precision. it's not known for being the most precise military. and then you see something like this happen you really don't know what could be targeted next weathers in the east, the south, or in the west, griff. gillian: jeff, this is gillian. sounds like based on that you will reportedly list of things we don't know about the explosion right now is a lot longer than what we do know. we'll come back to you throughout the show, every time you get a new development. i just want to ask you quickly about another big story happening in lviv we keep getting reports here in washington about russian forces, forcibly rounding up ukrainian citizens and all of the different cities really. and forcibly deporting them to russia where we hear and see they are being detained in camps. is this something you have seen?

have you witnessed firsthand in lviv? have you heard anything from your contacts in your city about it if you haven't seen it with your own eyes? >> no i don't think that is something that is a topic of conversation here in lviv. in fact i think for most part people here in this city are doing their part to help people on the east and the south. it is not something top of mind. but it would not be out of vladimir putin's playbook to do something like that. but we have no independent confirmation of things like that happening especially here in lviv which is so far away of what has been mostly the east and south have been targeted and now here it is in the west. thirty-six jeff up all innovative with images will check back with the was a story develops. >> president biden will give a major speech in poland at a short while it's coming up next hour. he joins us from warsaw, hi peter. >> gillian, president biden is saying his team would not let

him cross the border into ukraine. instead he's bouncing around poland, serving the places that people in this country have set up to take care of the desperate innocent civilians who have fled that country. >> what is this? you see this you're dealing every day with the vladimir putin. look at what he's done to these people, what does that make you think? >> he is a butcher. >> owe a butcher is a new nickname for putin from biden. ends russian state run media's out saying that comment is going to make it harder for the u.s. and russia to normalize relations again. the president is also now reiterating that while the u.s. won't send troops to fight in ukraine, they are going to keep troops ready in countries like poland just in case putin decides not to stop in ukraine.

he is stressing the u.s. commitment to nato's article five. that is the one that means if one nato country is attacked, they all respond. >> we take article five as a sacred commitment. a sacred commitment. that relates to every member of nato. we take it as a sacred obligation, article five. sacred obligation article five. and you can count on that. and again for your freedom as ours. >> the president is in between events right now. he is preparing for that speech later on this afternoon. and he is at a hotel about 212 miles or a five hour and 20 minute drive from the smoke is in love evil.

usually gets that kind of action, gillian. >> there anything officially or rumblings on the entourage there about this explosion? i know it happened just a moment ago. >> we have not heard anything yet but the principle traveling with the president's gathering for a security sweep in just a few minutes. we do expect to get more intel from the people with the president soon. gillian: great, will check back with you soon. >> the united nations estimating about 13 million people are stranded and war-torn ukraine and more than 3.7 million ukrainians have fled the country. aishah hasnie is in poland where they have flooded since the start of the war. hyatt aishah. >> hey there you have to imagine millions of ukraine refugees are watching the tv right now, watching what is happening in

lviv as it appears to be a huge strategy shift for the russian military and the ukrainian city of lviv were millions of internally displaced ukrainians are hiding out fearfully right now. we are talking about 2 million at last check from the united nations that have moved from central and eastern ukraine into the western city of lviv. basically hiding out there. wondering if they should cross the border. now they might actually make the decision to cross the border because we are seeing this attack just happened a few moments ago. the president today didn't get to meet with the refugees. finally said he was disappointed just about 60 miles of the border yesterday he was not. he visited a soccer stadium he got to talk to mothers, he got to talk to children, some of them stopped him and started speaking to him and ukrainian.

he also got to meet with chef josé from washington d.c. he is here with the world's central kitchen which by the way it is providing practically all of the food for refugees across poland. in the president shared his thoughts with the press about what he saw on the ground pretty think we have that sound. >> had been turned off a lot of places like this a lot of refugee camps. what i have never -- and most surprised by is the depth of the human spirit. i mean it sincerely. it is incredible. incredible. see all of those little children? i just want to hug i just want to say thanks. it makes me so damn proud. >> he also said that one of those kids told him please come up please pray for my father who

was still in ukraine fighting. now yesterday, president biden got a big briefing from aid workers on the ground that are really doing face-to-face interactions with the refugees. we have heard the smaller polish border towns are leading and not uncheck a lot on nonprofits to give the refugees food, shelter, medical attention right you and agencies also reporting mayors of larger cities like krakow, where i am and also warsaw those are struggling mightily to accommodate the new arrivals. on thursday, he biden administration pledged a billion dollars in humanitarian aid. also promised to accept up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees. but griff, as i've said over and over the majority, the vast majority of ukrainian do not want to go anywhere but back home. that is why they are staying as close to the border. that's creating quite the

complication you could say for people on the ground here. these cities are incredibly stressed about ukrainians want to go home. they are trying to stay as close to their loved ones as possible. and now, with the target in lviv this bombing or missile attack again we are not sure what it was. it is going to make those people who were hiding in the city of lviv really start to think about all right, perhaps it's time we make the journey across the border which is only going to be even more of a lift for countries like poland. griff: the crisis is growing indeed. aishah on the live ground and krakow, poland. gillian: for more on the news this morning joining us live from kyiv chairman of the foreign ukraine committee. thank you so much for taking the time for us this morning. what are you making as the images we are now seeing this

attack in lviv? >> this is terrible. putin deliberately targets civilian and residential areas. to me it is a signal which he is trying to send not only to ukraine to show there is no safe place in the territory of ukraine. it is also a signal which he is trying to send to poland, to show what might happen to poland, who can beat next if ukraine falls. it also is trying to send a signal to american president who is right now in poland. he has infamous and likes to blackmail and scare countries. it's his attempt to scare the united states, nato and poland. gillian: 's or are you hearing anything more specific this morning about the target? do we know what came under attack? we have heard different reporting from different

colleagues today. the most widespread impression say it could be a communications tower also hearing it some kind of an oil rig. >> i have not yet received any reliable information of that. i will continue to -- you continue to target civilian infrastructure here we don't have military objects which could be a target legitimate targets in terms of war, here definitely targeting objects and he is trying to destroy infrastructure and impose a chair among the population. gillian: what do you read, sir, if anything into this message? you seem to say this you believe this is putin sending a message to the united states to president biden. what do you believe is trying to tell him?

>> is trying to tell only one thing pretty want nato, poland, and the united states to stay away from his war against ukraine. this is his style, this is his attempt to get nato countries to get scared. gillian: do you think it's having an impact? >> i hope it will not have impact. because putin thanks in terms of strength. he respects strength. to respond to his provocations, nato and the united states should also resort to the same language, language of force, language of strength which is respected by putin. i think such provocations should embolden western countries to be more active in their defense and support of ukraine. gillian: frederick speculation in the wake of this latest attack that it possibly indicates a change and putin's

military strategy. what you make of that? >> it seems to me that putin has realized it is impossible to occupy the whole territory of ukraine. this army is not capable of capturing big cities like kyiv, and even mariupol remains mostly under ukrainian control. he realized to create a victory for purposes. and maybe he was trying to get more territory in the donbas region. at the same time he may be using tactics like targeting to distract attention off of ukraine. gillian: sir, with got to leave it there thank you so much for your time with us this afternoon pretty really appreciate it. we wish you safety and godspeed. >> thank you. griff: gillian, we come back

griff: ukrainian resistance force and the russians retreat in some areas around kyiv a

major victory for the city's defenders of russian now appears to be shifting its focus to eastern ukraine. joining us to analyze things the latest movement on the ground's vice president for defensive pulses of the heritage foundation. james i want to look at the map for our viewers we've learned in the last 24 hours russian forces were looking phase two perhaps re- focus on the eastern region. before we talk about that let's talk about the strike that happen just within the hour and lviv presell the smoke billowing behind the live shot with the drop jeff paul. that's 48 miles from the pole and border were president biden is about five hours away up here in warsaw. when you make of this strike? >> their millions of was called internally displaced people with these people have not left ukraine. what the dentist they fled to the west side of the country and not surprising they consolidate the cities and striking those

targets is called fire maneuver you shoot at something, obsolete try to blow stuff up. you do that to try to maneuver it you're forced to sell objective for we are the ukrainian military. the russian military we are nowhere near this for the not shooting there there try to >> militarily they are shooting there to terrorize people that's of the strike is about. >> interesting point indeed. clear that because the strikes have been targeting -- forces very, very heavily fighting particularly this one seaport obsolete pulverized it's been cut off from the world food, water, electricity. yet the ukrainians will not give up the fighting there. we do not russia's ultimate ambition is to create this land bridge all the way down from russia to crimea. what do you make about the fighting here?

>> if you're going to walk with anything, you want to walk away with controlling access as the sea that land locks ukraine. >> that's the little area here. >> in the to the black sea. that is strategically relevant you never want to give that up. this thing a member of the russian troops started from her they started from this area. if we see one thing that's the easier to defend than attack. part of the reason why you do not want to attack kyiv now is fighting in cities just sucks up everything. they have had tens of thousands of losses killed, wounded, missing in action, pows, guys that run away. the worst thing to fight in their prey. >> let me just change that color, james to blue. it's entering its second week of ukraine forces having we are learning from the pentagon a

real success in the northwestern part of kyiv and the eastern part that's resell the major go to read here advances from russia that came like this. we are told from the pentagon russian forces in some areas moved into defensive positions. also by the way you're getting some resistance in the military pay. >> is a really easy to explain. why the ukrainians are counterattacking there they can counterattack anywhere. the answer is that cuts off the ability to encircle and isolate and invade kyiv for this counteroffensive's are really defending the city. so continuing to attack is harder for the russians are making it harder for them right in the contra's down here if you fall back into defensive positions starts to look like world war i. >> that is what the front line look like before this version of the invasion started. you dig in, you're well-prepared and you hunker down.

>> one thing is clear, james, putin overestimated there would be a quick and get james thank you so much for being here, gillian. gillian: coming up next one to talk to lawmakers on both sides of the aisles here in the u.s. recently traveled to the region they've got very different wish list of what they want to hear from president biden in his address, that is coming up in just moments, stick with us. totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. it■s hard eating healthy. unless you happen to be a dog. hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart

>> joining us now for a live exclusive interview, ukrainian chief of staff and president zelenskyy's right-hand man. thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. we want to get your reaction to the strike that has just hit in the last hour in lviv. >> yes, hello for everybody, hello to your viewers. yes the continues, the war in ukraine. and several hours we received information that now it was a bombing lviv. i'd like to express it is very near of the border of the nato. it means the war now has been in the old territory of my country.

yes, the russians attacked the petro stations. and of course the bombing and attack of course they continue to destroy ukrainian infrastructure and continue to make lockouts of our sieges. it happens and ukraine said it like mariupol, like chernihiv. now the same happens in ukraine. it means this war will continue. and of course, we would like our

partners, our western partners to really like to stop this war. once again, please close the sky. close the sky over ukraine. it is one thing which can protect for the future of the bombing of our city of our civilian buildings, civilian residents and kill our people which happens every day. griff: you talk about what you need from nato allies and from the u.s. your defense minister met with secretaries blinken and austin here in the u.s. the defense minister said he was cautiously optimistic of their meeting, can you tell us more about what transpired and why your defense minister is cautiously optimistic? >> i hear the minister of

defense and foreign variance to president zelenskyy. they really were quite satisfied of this meeting and you know and some part of this meeting, president biden coming to the rooms and having this meeting and spending 40 minutes with our delegation. talk all talk questions. they can say of course because it's kept in poland, we are awaiting the answer for the very important questions for ukraine. we still do not have the answer to this question. i hope that our officials this

answer. we awaiting more than two weeks to settle this question. you know, we need so much from poland. griff: you need those big fighter planes i understand. where are you? where is president zelenskyy in negotiations to end the fighting? >> i can say that the negotiations continue every day. our delegations working practically nonstop. continue the consultation of discussion and i can express very careful optimism that it

feels a lot of very difficult questions. it's still a lot of very difficult issue for discussion. but negotiations continue. i hope it will be made the possibility that happens immediately and president zelenskyy and the president of russia. thirty-six andriy yermak thank you, thank you sir. chief of staff to president zelenskyy, thank you sir, gillian. >> thank you very much thank you. gillian: were waiting by president biden slated to give an address with the white house with a major unrest coming up in just a moment. and get up to $60,000 or more. we called and got $96,602. that's more than ever.

space express and by the schedule to speak just minutes from now on a major address that will quote speak to the stakes

of the moment. as russian forces continue to pummel key ukrainian cities but is his final stop at his european trip to show unity in the face of russian aggression for the president will depart for the u.s. shortly after. we will bring you that speech live what happens, gillian. space and bring our next guest part of the bi- person group lawmakers who traveled to the polish ukrainian border to see the humanitarian cost of russia's assault up close for joy join a pennsylvania publican congressman brian fitzpatrick's but he serves on the house foreign affairs and intelligence committee cochairs the house ukraine caucus. sir, what do you make of these explosions and side lviv we've seen this morning? >> yes, thanks for having me gillian. no surprise. nobody thought there is any territory this part of the nation of ukraine that would be off-limits to vladimir putin. he is coming dangerously close to the nato border, right where we were just about ten days ago were president biden is right

now actually. and you know lviv is considered one of the safe havens in the country of ukraine at least one of the safest places to be in the country right now. and, it is also that entry/exit for most humanitarian efforts and for the defense military equipment like the stingers and javelins that we have been providing. gillian: a moment ago spoke the ukrainian member of parliament britt he said he believes this attack from putin is a direct message to president biden. when you think about that? >> i would not be surprised straight out of vladimir putin's playbook look at chechnya and sierra if you want a playbook for what he is about to do here in ukraine. vladimir putin is a war criminal and by the president has labeled him as such. but gillian, the most important thing we got to be doing and now we just talk to chief of staff things i've been calling for give ukrainians the tools necessary to create and enforce their own no-fly zone. they've said what it is. it's soviet technology, it's

being offered by the countries it does not impact u.s. national security at all. the mig 29 : has exported the drones which turkey has exported and you have the x300 service to our missiles with bulgaria, romania, have asked exported. all soviet technology all things ukrainians know how to use. it is a no-brainer. that will answer the no-fly zone question. give them the materials the equipment they need to enforce a no fly. people need to understand, gillian, the stingers are capped out at 10,000 feet. they are more anti- helicopter then anti- aircraft they can catch it on takeoff and landing but not in flight. gillian: there is some concern, congressman, about the presidents of messaging on this european trip pretty told american troops or. to tell american troops yesterday that they were going to deploy to ukraine for the white house then clarified this

was not the case. you've been told president andrzej duda he was going to accept an additional 100,000 refugees the white house then clarified this is not the case at the same announcement made the day before yesterday. what do you make of that? >> unfortunately it's a mixed messaging and perceived weakness. which was won as the incentives for vladimir putin. it pains me too say that part all the intel were getting on the house intelligence committee indicates that. they were watching closely what happened with afghanistan. there would look at the status of nato and looking at the strength of the person in the white house for the getting more mixed messages but nobody said today, i hope he gives messages of strength and clarity. those of the two most important thing any leader special leader of this country can give pretty's gotta stop telling vladimir putin in the world what he's not willing to do that's

given the best source of intelligence of vladimir putin, getting right inside the head of the commander-in-chief of the u.s. military. what redlines he is willing to establish. weatherby chemical weapons, radioactive bombs or what have you. will cause nato to act. gillian: the president said chemical weapons may be a redline for him. what is the difference between innocent ukrainians dying from famine and dehydration and being embalmed in hospitals while they are giving birth? what is the difference between that and chemical weapons there all acts under international law. it seems like an arbitrary redline. >> i could not agree more that redlines are been crossed for me for that's why it's incredibly frustrating that at the very least we are not to invite u.s. boots on the ground, for god sakes give him the mig 29's the

drones the surface-to-air missiles, not our technology, not our people that would at least mitigate the air bombardment the ukrainians are dealing which which are creating these catastrophes of children's pediatric cancer hospitals getting bombed and maternity wards getting involved and shelters that smart children inside in russia getting targeted. these are all crossing the line. i think the very least we can be doing for zelenskyy and the ukrainian people or 30 years into the independence but we were a young democracy once, gillian we need freedom loving democracies to support other freedom loving democracies especially in the youth. this is not just ukraine's fight it's a fight of all freedom loving democracies across the world. it is dictatorship versus freedom we have to establish freedom but not their words but their actions by. >> thank you for saying us or we appreciate your time. we hope to get you back soon. >> thanks. gillian: were minutes away from president biden's address on the west united efforts to support people against putin's.

democracy and standing up against president biden has correctly called a war criminal and putin. you cannot in any issue that is an act of criminality it was unjustified, unprovoked and continues to disrupt world peace and it's a real threat to world peace in the long term. >> is a great point. we saw the president branching up his rhetoric coming vladimir putin a butcher when he was visiting with refugees. do you anticipate or hope that it continues to increase his rhetoric, namely as we have heard from this administration now saying what vladimir putin has committed and his troops are committed are war crimes. >> or no question they are pretty much be very clear on that pretty think we all are. i think right now there are two

points i want to make right now. one is, we need to make sure the people of ukraine with our allies and other partners around the world have the tools they need to fight this war. but we do not need to necessarily negotiate that on cable tv or the front page of the newspaper. this is national security and our military strategy. i agree with my colleagues we should not be necessarily negotiating in the public. so i don't even know everything that is happening. i don't need to know. many of my colleagues need to give ukraine what they need but we don't want to go to war with russia. the danger of this escalating quickly, the potential danger of nuclear use by this man who clearly shows he has no scruples, he is a danger to all of us.

we need a steady, constant leadership right now and unity. calling him out for his behavior which is totally evil pretty we need to be united around the world and standing up for freedom. griff: we do indeed we have to leave it there congresswoman i want to mention tour viewers you have a piece of legislation the sovereignty act which would allow to sue rush apartments pick that up and take it another day on this breaking news afternoon. thank you congresswoman. >> thank you it's bipartisan. griff: good important unity indeed. thank you congresswoman will take you live too or start here president biden's major speech on the ukraine. that is coming up in just a pmoment. s of protein, one gram of sugar, and nutrients to support immune health. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance

griff: you're looking live at president biden's motorcade making its way through warsaw poland and heading to the royal castle where he is going to make what many are calling significant major speech on ukraine this as the head of the lviv administration saying that 5 people were injured in the two missile strikes that hit near lviv 48 miles from the polish border. the lviv mayor saying that a depo was hit and still on fire as we look at the plume of black smoke. welcome to fox news live i'm griff jenkins. gillian: i'm gillian turner. president biden met with

poland's prime minister and met with ukrainian refugees. there are several of them in the crowd awaiting the president's remarks. let's go to peter doocy traveling with the president, hi, peter. peter: kremlin officials are saying tonight that it's harder for the u.s. and russia to mend relations now that president biden said this. >> he's a butcher. peter: so putin is pounding away at a city roughly 212 miles from the president's current location and if any kind of ordinance crosses the border the president is insisting he will honor the commitment to fully defend a nato partner called article 5. >> we take article 5 as a sacred commitment, a sacred submitment

that relates to every member of nato. we take as a sacred obligation article 5. sacred obligation article 5 and you can count on that and not just -- and again for your freedom as ours. peter: at one point today the president explained to a ukrainian refugee three a translator why it is that he's not going to send united states troops to go into ukraine and fight russia and he met many families who have been broken by this conflict including some women and children who left the men of the house behind to fend off russia themselves. >> wonderful, wonderful. and the ukrainian people are -- each one of those children said something to the effect, say a prayer for my dad or my grandfather or my brother.

he's back there fighting. and i remember what it was like when you have someone in a war zone. every morning you get up and you wonder, you just wonder. you pray you don't get that phone call and there are amazing group of people. peter: president biden is expected at the speech location about 6 or 7 minutes from right now. we expect to see him on camera shortly after that. i'm told by a white house official here in warsaw that there are some people in the crowd for the president's speech who recently escaped ukraine themselves, back to you. gillian: peter there's a lot of concern here in washington about the messaging on this trip so far. he appeared to tell the president told american troops yesterday that they were going to go into ukraine and the white house walked that back and told president duda the u.s. would expect additional hundred thousand refugees and the white house walked that back. are you getting any clarity from

officials? peter: well, the clarity that we are getting is that on this trip even though the president has seen a lot and met with a lot of people, his position on the big things like that has not changed. and they were quick to say that he was not intending to tell u.s. troops that they were going to see what it's like inside ukraine for themselves even though that's what he said. and so no big changes, however, i would say there are teasing this speech that's going to begin during your show as a new way to frame the fight of the free world versus russia, gillian. gillian: griff, i want to make sure you get in here. do you have any questions for peter while we are waiting for the president? griff: if i can hop in there, peter, pick up where you left off on helping the west, help ukraine defend itself. we had president zelenskyy's

chief of staff in the last hour and he was still pleading for tools to effectively create a no-fly zone in ukraine with things like the mig 29 fighter jets, the s300 missile system. any indication that this speech my address those -- those questions and really request from the ukrainians? peter: they hesitate today gives a preview which is usual in a speech like. it's also going to be the length. they are telling us he's going to talk about 30, 35 minutes, much longer than the president goes except for a state of the union, address to joint session of congress. there's going to be a lot of time for him to lay out details like that. but before i left, the pentagon was saying they think ukraines are better aided by javelins and

other antiweapon systems and not with the mig planes but the ukrainians have not stopped asking for them. gillian: peter, it's gillian again. the idea that there's a new world order is well and good, are you hearing anything about any concrete deliverables that the president might announce in this -- what the white house calls major address? peter: not yet. but, you know, it's interesting. white house officials keep saying they think the best thing that this president has done since the conflict in ukraine started is they were able to rally the world around ukraine and against russia as you see the motorcade get closer and closer to the castle where they are going to be speaking. so they think the biggest thing is just framing a fight between the free world, democracies and dictatorships like putin's.

and it's also important, something the president said that didn't get as much attention because some of the slip-ups he made, something he said to u.s. troops yesterday in line with the talk about a new world order. he said in 10 or 15 years the world is going to look totally different and so what they are trying to do is just make the democratic side of the world look more attractive to others than say russia or china which are trying to establish a major sphere of influence but globally, gillian. gillian: seems reasonable griff: as we are watching the president's motorcade getting close to arrive at the royal castle where the president will bring to you speech live, is there any indication from the folks that you're traveling with that the significance of this moment is really being digested

peter in so far this is a wartime president making an address as a leader of the free world, just 212 miles as you said from where we have seen vladimir putin strike two missile strikes that lviv officials say burned a depo as the president is speaking. peter: that's how they see the speech. the president is trying to avoid a world war and he has talked about how nato troops get involved in a fight with russia that would be world war iii. that's not what he wants but they're not -- they are not shy about calling out the war crimes they think are being committed in the country next door and also just the general approach, the warpath that putin has been on. but while the president -- so he's not going to come here today and say that he will send u.s. troops into ukraine.

it sounds like that is just a line that he will never cross as long as he's the commander in chief, but they will emphasize that they've got extra troops in europe, 100,000 troops, u.s. troops in europe for the first time in years and the reason is just to have them standing by if putin crosses another border, an actual physical border. and say launches some sort of an ordinance into poland. that's why there's all the talk about article 5. that means if one nato country is attack, they all respond and that's a big part of the reason that the president is here today just to stress, look, putin, we want you to stop in ukraine, but if you go any further, you're going to have all of nato coming right back at you, griff. gillian: peter, there's the physical boundary but also the moral boundary, right, and the president toyed with the idea of

laying down a red line the other day when he said if putin uses chemical weapons, we promise we will respond and he went onto say essentially, the united states would respond proportionately, appropriately, have you gotten any clarity from the white house on what exactly that means? it seems that there's really only one appropriate response to the use of chemical weapons by a dictator on civilians. peter: we know that the response is not going to be the u.s. launching a chemical weapon right back. the president said in kind but jake sullivan, national security adviser, explained since then that in kind does not mean equally. so it's not a chemical weapon for a chemical weapon. it's something else. the president says it would be proportional and how it's used but that's up to the pentagon planners and they are not spilling the beans on what they'd do yet. griff: peter doocy live for us

in warsaw. peter, i think really as we wait for the president to arrive this is going to go down as one of the most significant speeches the president has made today, we will bring you the speech which will be happening very soon. all right. we want to pause for one moment in one moment to bring in our fox installation first, gillian, just quickly want to address this speech. we are going to pause for one moment to let our fox stations join us. i'm griff jenkins in washington, this is a fox news alert. coverage of president biden's speech wrapping up his trip to europe meeting with nato allies i'm griff jenkins and you're looking live in warsaw poland what president biden will deliver what is address a world

president, talk about the unity of nato allies willing to defend every inch of nato under article 5 after we have just seen in recent hours two missile striking lvi environment, 48 miles from the polish border and 212 miles from where you're looking at the stage where the president will speak. now, one thing that we also are curious to find out is whether the president will address what the administration has called war crimes being carried out particularly in the southern area of ukraine in the sea port sea of mariupol after 31 days of fighting. that city cutting off from civilization, no water, no food, no electricity, they are fighting inch by inch, street by street and, of course, the capitol of kyiv where there's

ukrainian forces entering second week of counteroffensive making some minor gains pushing ukrainian forces into defensive positions as we were told from the pentagon, but what all will be watching and certainly president zelenskyy and members to have ukrainian parliament what the president intends to do to increase aid to continue to support ukrainians who will fight and fight they have in sheer defiance that has stunned the world because obviously mr. putin overestimated the quick capitulation of ukrainian forces. that did not happen. that is why you're seeing the ukrainian forces standing up and fighting every inch. now the refugees will also certainly be addressed nearly 4 million ukrainians have fled the country, some 13 million estimated to be stranded in the country we are told peter doocy reporting there that there will indeed be ukrainian refugees who successfully fled the war in

this audience. you are looking at right there, obviously also there are dignitaries like poland's president duda. we want to go out to lviv, major strikes happening over an hour ago and we want to check with jeff paul. jeff, while we wait for the president, what can you tell us about the latest there? jeff: griff, after what has been a fairly quiet few days, sirens rang out and thick smoke billowing the air. the mayor here in lviv saying the russian army is responsible and there could be more strikes as we continue into into the night. the other thing we should underscore is the timing of this griff. as you mentioned the president is in poland, 48 miles away to the border of poland and for

most of this conflict the west of ukraine has lived relatively untouched by russian forces. that'll change today, griff. griff: jeff, just as we await for the president's speech, we can see behind you there are cars coming down the street there in lviv and downtown where you are and while people are on edge and that has not seemed to stop activity and, of course, we should point out to our viewers you're not seeing the russian forces on the ground in lviv as you are in the eastern parts of the country as well as in the capital -- near the capital. jeff: yeah, this attack happened about a mile away from the city center. it's still lviv, it's a mile away. we are not seeing any change in activity within the city. people are still going about their day. we just saw people walk their dogs by here, cars are still going by, life is going about as normal as possible and it's been like that for essentially the last week or so that we have been here and people here truly believe that that's part of

this, that they are to go on with their life and provide shelter in places for people that are being attacked right now and have nowhere else to go. the community in lviv is accepting people that are cog by train, however they can get here. today's attack was especially jarring because for most of the conflict lviv has been a safe haven, that changed tonight. gillian: jeff, this is gillian. i spoke with the parliament a few moments ago and he believes that this attack on the facility today represents a direct message from putin to president biden as you reported just 50 miles away, well, the president is not 50 miles away but the polish border is 50 miles away. are you getting the sense from people on the ground there tonight that this is a sea change? jeff: yeah, and i think a lot of

people who aren't inside the mind of putin. there's only one putin and he knows what's going to happen next and he's the only one, has been talking about there's a change in what they are targeting. they are not going to look at, you know, they are not going to look at kyiv and the east is what he's after in the disputed area of donbas and tonight underscores how much things have changed. griff: jeff -- jeff, we have to stop it there. thank you, stay safe and keep us updated as you get them we will go now as you see president biden walking out to the stage at the royal castle in warsaw, poland for a speech that's going to have the entire world watching. let's listen in. >> thank you, thank you. please have a seat. be seated. if you don't, come up on stage.

[laughter] >> thank you very much. it's a great honor to be here. mr. president, they tell me you're over there somewhere. thank you, mr. president. be not afraid. those were the first words of the first public address of the first public pope after his election on october 1978. they were the words that would come to define john paul the second, words that would change the world. john paul brought the message here to warsaw in his first trip back home as pope in june of 1979. it was a message about the power, the power of faith, the power of resilience, the power of the people in the face of a

brutal cruel system of government that was a message to help sobber depression in central land in eastern europe 30 years ago, it was a message that will overcome the cruelty and brutality of this unjust war. when pope john paul brought that message in 1979 the soviet union ruled with an iron fist behind an iron curtain. then a year later, the solidarity movement took hold in poland. he couldn't be here tonight, we are grateful in america and around the world for lewalenza. [applause] >> reminds me of the phrase,

faith sees best in the dark. they were dark moments. ten years later, the soviet union collapsed and poland and central and eastern europe would soon be free. nothing about that battle for freedom was simple or easy. it was a long, painful. fought over years and decades but we emerge the new and the great battle for freedom. battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression, between rules-based order and one governed by force and we need to be clear-eyed, this battle will not be won in days or months either. we need to still ourselves of a

long fight ahead. mr. president, mr. prime minister, mr. mayor, members of the parliament, distinguished guests and the people of poland and i suspect some people of ukraine that are here. [cheers and applause] >> we are gathered here at the royal castle in a city that holds a sacred place in the history of not only of europe but human kind unending searching for freedom. for generations, warsaw has stood where liberty has been challenged and liberty has prevailed. in fact, it was here in warsaw when a young refugee who fled her home country from czechoslovakia was under soviet domination came back to speak and standing in solidarity. her name was madeline kobalt

albright. she became -- [applause] >> one of the most ardent supporters of democracy in the world. she was a friend whom i served. america's first woman secretary of state. she passed away 3 days ago. she fought her whole life for central democratic principles and now in the democracy and freedom, ukraine and its people are in the front lines fighting to save their nation and brave resistance as part of a larger fight for an essential democratic principle that unite all free people, the rule of law, fair and free elections, the freedom to speak, to write and to assemble, the freedom to worship as one chooses, freedom of the press. these principles are essential in a free society.

[cheers and applause] >> but they have always -- they have always been under siege and always been in battle. every generation has had to defeat democracy's moral foes. that's the way of the world. for the world isn't perfect as we know where the ambitions of a few forever seek to dominate the lives and liberty of many. my message to the people of ukraine is a message i delivered today to foreign minister and defense foreign minister who i believe are here tonight, we stand with you, period. [cheers and applause] >> today's fighting kyiv and khakiv are long struggle, poland 1956 and again, czechoslovakia

in 1968. soviet tanks crushed democratic uprisings but the resistance continued until finally in 1989 the berlin wall and all the walls of soviet domination, they fell, they fell and the people prevailed. [applause] >> but the battle for democracy could not conclude and did not conclude with the end of the cold war. over the last 30 years the forces of autocracy have resolved all across the world. the hallmarks are familiar, contempt for the rule of law, contempt for democratic freedom, contempt for the truth itself. today russia has strangled democracy, has sought to do so elsewhere not only in homeland.

solidarity is invalidating neighboring nations. putten has regaled to say not define ukraine, it's a lie and obscene. president zelenskyy was democratic elected, he's jewish, his father in holocaust and putin has the audacity like all autocrats that will make right, voiced the opposing spirit in civil war. he said let us have faith that right makes might. right makes might. [applause] >> today let us have the faith again. [applause] >> let us resolve to put the strength of democracies into

action to designs of autocracies. let us remember that the test of this moment is the test of all time. the criminal wants to portray nato enlargement as imperial project aimed at destablizing russia, nothing is further than the truth. nato is a defensive alliance. it has never sought to demise russia and the lead-up for the current crisis the united states and nato worked for months to engage russia to overt war. i talked to him many times on the phone, time and again, we offered real diplomacy and concrete proposal to strengthen european security, enhance transparency, build confidence on all sides but putin and russia met the proposal without interest in any association, with lies and ultimatums.

russia was bent on violence from the start. i know not all of you believe me and us when we kept saying they are going to cross the border, they are going to attack repeatedly, he said there was no interest in war, he would not move, repeatedly say he would not invade ukraine, repeatedly saying russian troops along the border were there for training, all 180,000 of them for simply no justification or provocation on russia's choice of war. it's an example, one of the old human impulses using brute force and disinformation to satisfy craving for absolute power and control. it's nothing less than a direct challenge for the order established since the world war ii and it threatens to return to

decades of war that ravage europe before the international rule-based order was put in place. we cannot go back to that. the gravity of the threat is why the response of the threat has been so swift and so powerful and so unified, unprecedented and overwhelming. swift and punishing cost are the only thing that will get russia to change its course. within days of his invasion -- [applause] >> the west has moved jointly with sanctions to damage russia's economy. russia's central bank is now blocked from global financial systems denying kremlin's access to war and aimed at the heart of russia's economy by stopping import of russian energy to the united states. to date, the united states has sanctioned 140 russian oligarchs and family members seizing

begotten gains, yachts, luxury mansions. we have sanctioned more than 400 russian government officials including key architects of this war. these officials and oligarchs have reaped enormous benefit from the corruption connected to the kremlin. and now they have to share in the pain. the private sector is acting as well. over 400 private multinational companies have pulled out of doing business in russia, left russia completely. companies like mcdonalds as a result of unprecedented sanctions, the rubel reduced to rubble, the russian economy, that's true by the way. [applause] >> takes about 200rubel to equal one dollar. the economy on track to be cut in half in the coming years. russia's economy was ranked,

11th biggest economy in the world before this invasion. it will soon not even rank among the top 20 in the world. taking together -- [cheers and applause] >> these economic sanctions a new kind of economic strike with power to inflict damage that rivals military might and ability to replenish military and project power. and putin, it's vladimir putin who is to blame, period, at the same time alongside economic sanctions the western has come together to provide for the people of ukraine with incredible with military and economic assistance and years before the invasion we america had sent over $650 million before they crossed the border in weapons to ukraine including

antiair and antiarmorred equipment. since the invasion america has committed $1.35 billion in weapons and ammunition and thanks to the courage and bravery of the ukrainian people -- [applause] >> the equipment that we sent and our colleagues have sent have been used to devastating effect to defend ukrainian land and air space. our allies and partners have stepped up as well but has made clear, america forces are in europe, not in europe to engage in conflict with russian forces. american forces are here to defend nato allies. yesterday i met with the troops that are serving alongside our polish allies to bolster nato's frontline defenses. the reason we want to make clear is their movement on ukraine, don't even think about moving on one single inch of nato territory.

we have sacred obligations. [cheers and applause] >> we have a sacred obligation under article 5 to defend each and every inch of nato territory with a full force of our collective power. and earlier today, i visited here the national stadium with thousands of ukrainian refugees who are trying to answer the toughest questions a human can ask, my god, what's going to happen to me, what's going to happen to my family? i saw tears of many of the mothers' eyes that i embraced them, young children, not sure whether to smile or cry. one little girl said, mr. president, she spoke a little english, she said my brother and my daddy, are they going to be okay, will i see them again, their husbands and fathers, many cases brothers and

sisters stayed back to fight in their country. i didn't have to speak the language and understand the language to feel the emotion in their eyes, where they grip my hand, little kids hung up to my leg praying for desperate hope that all of this is temporary. apprehension that they may be perhaps forever away from their homes, almost debilitating sadness that this is happening again and struck by the generosity of the people of warsaw, for that matter all of the polish people to the depths of their compassion and willingness to reach out. [applause] >> opening their hearts. opening their hearts and their

homes simply to help. i also want to thank my friend the great american chef jose andres and his team for helping those who are yearning to be free but helping the refugees is not something poland and any other nation should carry alone, all the world democracies have a responsibility to help, all of them and the people of ukraine can count on the united states to meet its responsibility. i've announced two days ago we will welcome a hundred thousand ukrainian refugees, we already have 8,000 a week coming to the united states of other nationalities and provide $300 million of humanitarian assistance, providing tens of thousands of tons of food, water, medicine and other basic supplies. in brussels, i announced the united states is going to provide a million dollars in addition to humanitarian aid and the world food program posed

significant obstacles, at least some relief is get to go major cities in ukraine but not melitopol, excuse me, not mariupol, but we will get relief wherever it's needed in ukraine and for the people that made it out of ukraine not withstanding the brutality of vladimir putin. let there be no doubt that this war has already been a strategic failure for russia already. [applause] >> having lost children myself that's no solace to the people, lost family, but putin, thought ukraines would roll over and not fight. not much of a student of history.

instead the russian forces have met their match with resistance rather than breaking resolve russia's brutal attack has strengthen the resolve and rather than driving nato apart the west is stronger and more united than it has ever been. russia wanted less of a nato presence on his border but now he has a stronger presence, a larger presence with over a hundred thousand american troops here along with other members of nato. in fact, russia has managed to cause something that i'm sure he never intended, the democracies of the world are revitalized with purpose and unity and founded months that we have once taken years to accomplish. it's not only russia's action in ukraine that are reminding of democracy, it's our own country, his own country, the kremlin,

protestors, 200,000 people have left, shutting down independent news, state media is all propaganda, mass graves, starvation tactics of russian forces in ukraine. any wonder that 200,000 russians have left a country in one month. a remarkable gain in short period of time which brings the message to the russian people, i work with russian leaders for decades and sat across the negotiating table going all the way soviet, height of the cold war and i have spoken directly and honestly to you the russian people, let me say this if you're able to listen, you the russian people are not our enemy. i refuse that you welcome the killing of innocent children or

grandparents or you accept hospitals, schools pummeled with bombs. millions of families are being driven from their home including half of all of ukraine's children. these are not the actions of the great nation. of all people, you the russian people as well as people across europe, still have memory of being in the similar situation and 30's, 40's, situation of world war ii, still fresh in the minds of many grandparents in the region. whatever your generation experience, heard about it from your parents and grandparents, train stations overflowed with

terrified families fleeing their homes, mourning city, these are not anymore, give exactly what the russian army is doing in ukraine right now. march 26, 2022, just days before we are at the -- your 21st century nation with hopes and dreams that people all over the world have for themselves and their family. now vladimir putin's aggression have cut you the russian people off from the rest of the world. taking russia back to the 19th century. this is not who you are. this is not the future you deserve for your families and your children. i'm telling you the truth. this war is not worthy of you, the russian people. putin can and must end this war. the american people will stand

with you and the brave citizens of ukraine that want peace. my message to the rest of europe is new battle for freedom has already made a few things crystal clear. first year must end dependence on russian fossil fuels and we in the united states will help. [cheers and applause] >> that's why i announced the plan with the president of the european commission to get europe through the immediate energy crisis. over the long term as a matter of economic security, security for the survivability of the planet, we all need to move quickly as possible to clean and renewable energy and we will work together to help get that done so that the days of any nation being subject to the whims of a tyrant or energy needs are over. they must end. they must end. and second, we have to fight the

corruption coming from the kremlin to give russian people a fair chance and finally we maintain absolute unity we must among world democracies. it's not enough to speak rhetorical flourish of words of democracy of freedom equate and liberty, all of us including here in poland must do the hard work of democracy each and every day, my country as well. that's why -- [cheers and applause] >> that's why i came to europe again this week with a clear and determine message for nato, for the g7, for the european union, for all freedom-loving nations, we must commit now to be in this fight for the long haul, we must remain unified today and tomorrow and the day after and for the years and decades to come. it will not be easy.

there will be cost but it's a price we have to pay because the darkness that drives autocracy is no match for the flame of liberty that lights the souls of free people everywhere. time and again history shows that, from the darkest moments the greatest progress follows. and history shows this is the test of our time, the task of this generation. let's remember the hammer blow that brought down the berlin wall, the might that lifted the iron curtain. not the words of a single leader, it was the people of europe who for decades fought to free themselves, their sheer bravery opened the border between austria and hungary for the european picnic and they joined hands for the baltic way. they stood for solidarity here in poland and together it was an

unmistakable and undeniable force of the people that the soviet union could not withstand and we are seeing it once again today with the brave ukrainian people showing that their power of many is greater than the will of any one dictator. [cheers and applause] >> so on this hour, let the words of pope john paul be brightly today, never, ever give up hope. never doubt, never tire, never be become discouraged, be not afraid. [cheers and applause] >> a dictator on rebuilding an empire will never erase the people's love for liberty. brutality will never grind down

the world to be free. ukraine will never be a victory for russia. for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. we will have a different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light, for god sake, this man cannot remain in power. god bless you all and may god defend our freedom and may god protect our troops. [cheers and applause] >> thank you for your patience, thank you. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. griff: 6:43 in warsaw poland, the president just finishing a major global address from the steps of the royal castle. he spoke for just 27 minutes in a speech that began quoting pope john paul the second and his words in 1978, be not afraid. ending it there with those same words and talking about the task of our time he says to fight against freedom.

he called out president vladimir putin for what he called obscene and unjustified and unprovoked attack of the ukrainian people that began fighting 31 days ago. he spoke to the russian people and said you are not the enemy and called for an end to putin's war and he spoke to the refugees, the nearly 4 million that have fled ukraine, talking about the uncertainty in fear of the refugees and complementing the polish people for opening their hearts and their homes. please stay tune to fox news channel and this fox station for continuing coverage of this story. i'm griff jenkins in washington. you saw it live president biden giving a major speech there from the steps of the royal castle and now we want to get some reaction. we are joined by expert panel, former ambassador to ukraine and vice president for russia and europe at the u.s. institute of peace william taylor and

margaret thatcher former researcher and british prime minister, margaret thatcher and we have jacqui heinrich standing by live from the royal castle where president biden obviously just finished that address, jacqui, we will come to you in just a second. ambassador taylor, let me start with you, your reaction to what we just listened to. >> griff, we looked at each other as we we watched president biden and we agreed, he was fired up, he was determined and gave a big speech, he didn't go to the details of the where here and there, he went to the big picture of what he was there in europe to say and he said we are with you, ukraine, he was very clear about that and he was very clear about the support that that means, that kind of support for ukraine and he was very clear that this is a long struggle, he made it clear that this is going to be costly and we will pay some price and it's worth it, he said.

he ended up, griff, i was struck, this man cannot remain in power. that was -- that was a powerful statement that president biden ended talking about president putin. griff: now, your reaction? >> well, without a doubt, speech from president biden, strong rhetoric there. better performance from the president than we have seen in recent weeks on the ukraine crisis. having said that, this was a speech that was short on detail. there was no big-picture strategy outlined by the president and at the same time i do think that in terms of real action, president biden is not doing enough to support the ukrainians, he's still not working with polish to send the big fighters. the sanctions that are in place have not been put in place fast enough and not tough enough against russia. biden does not have a clear strategy for isolating russia in the world stage and u.s. partnering with russia over iran

nuclear negotiation. and so, you know, i have to say there's a real lack of, you know, detailed big picture vision and strategy from the president. he has to be stronger and he has to send a tougher message to vladimir putin. he has to match that with real action, not just rhetoric and words that we have seen today. griff: interesting point now because we had in the last hour the chief staff. president zelenskyy asking for just those things and i want to bring in gillian, but before we continue talking with our panel, jacqui, we want to go to you in warsaw, how is the speech playing there amongst the crowd behind you? jacqui: well, i don't know if you could hear it but there was a short chant of close the skies, ukrainians here who fled their country that are in the crowd. it was a lot quieter than a speech that you would here in u.s. and this is a foreign leader who is giving remarks in the square of the royal castle. so it's unusual from the type of

backdrop that we usually see the president where we have crowds of people chanting usually made up of his supporters. this is a somber people, there are people who want today hear from the president what he was going to do. i mean, there has been -- there have been so many calls for more action from the u.s., for more action from nato and having the president here shows how much nato depends on the u.s. to lead it and having this address happen without the polish president at his side, he was in the side but not standing right next to him i think is significant. the president -- he ended his speech with the strongest word we heard yet. we heard biden call putin a war criminal and heard him call him a butcher today and said this man cannot remain in power, for god's sake this man cannot are you main in power. that's the clearest, sort of condemnation of how he sees putin and what he believes should happen next basically

calling for him to be removed in some way or another. he called on the russian people to rise up and said that we hear you and we believe that you -- you do not embrace this war. so that stood out. you can hear behind me close the sky, close the sky. this is the chant, the refrain that the u.s., nato has not embraced yet and this is what the ukrainians want. you heard zelenskyy equates leaving sky open being a weapon of mass destruction in and of itself. he said in his address to the nato leaders that having the sky open and having not enough defenses against it was the same as a weapon of mass destruction which is, of course, a major concern to have nato alliance and why there have been meetings to figure out what does the alliance do if a chemical attacks happen and drifts across the border, what constitutes attacks on the alliance and the president giving a message of support, a message of

encouragement saying we need to be clear-eyed and this war is not going to be won in days or even in months but assuring the polish people and ukrainians and all the nato alliance that the u.s. is standing at the ready and by their side. gillian: jacqui, this is gillian. i want to ask you, did you hear a deliverable from the president there, a lot of rhetoric and commitment to standing with ukrainian people, did he make commitment that you picked up? jacqui: that the rubel has been left to rubble and the president equated that to being of the same -- saying that basically the sanctions have not allowed russia to maintain or will not russia to maintain its military might. he equated the sanctions to

concrete promise. he also touted the billion dollars in humanitarian aid and the refugees that will be taken into the u.s. he did pledge that we would not stop, we would not cease efforts to get humanitarian aid to areas of mariupol that have been closed out entirely, how he intends that to happen without forcing humanitarian corridor or no-fly zone is still unclear. gillian: jacqui, great reporting on warsaw. thank you so much. i want to go back out to the panel. nile, i want to pick up what you said a moment ago, there was strategy in the speech, biden talked about new world order, regions shifting alliances, he didn't get terribly specific. >> one of the problems with biden there's a great deal with rhetoric and we saw that with barack obama few years ago but very little action actually.

i thought what was missing from the speech was any kind of concrete detail, concrete action. i think the biden has been disappointed in the ukraine crisis and sleeping from behind and been slow to move and reactive rather than proactive and also there was no discussion in the speech about victory in ukraine. the ukrainians actually can win this war. and biden did not talk about winning the war in ukraine. he should have done. he's the leader of the free world. he doesn't act like the leader to have free world and differential actually to putin and i thought this was a speech that should have been significantly stronger, tougher with more detail. that's what our allies want to hear. many of the allies feel that the president is not leading on the world stage at this time and he needs to project, i think, a great deal leadership and show backbone and spine and project the kind of leadership that ronald reagan projected during

the cold war. we have to win this conflict against the russians. griff: all right. thank you very much, ambassador taylor, your final thoughts. >> my if i believe thought was he did say that ukraine was going to win. that's exactly the right message. ukraine is going to win. putin is going to be defeated, putin should be pulled out, should go somehow. that was his last message, russia will not prevail, ukraine will prevail. griff: thank you very much for being here on a historical day, the president speing from the castle in warsaw. thank you. we want to turn now to our southern border with the president mentioning southern word near his trip as he was making the way around poland. president biden administration new version for seeking asylum, not just judges will be able to process migrant claims so i want

to go to former acting ice director and fox news contributor tom homan. tom, obviously the president mentioned ukrainians coming to the border along as he said thousands every day, your thoughts? tom: i think it's a bad comparison, right? the people of ukraine are escaping war, they are escaping the killing of women and children. totally different circumstances than our southern border. our southern border has been open on purpose by president biden. he inherited the most secure border i have ever seen in my career and he purposely unsecured it and making promises such as amnesty, no ice detention, be released, free health care, when you make those types of promises, people will come to the greatest country on earth. to make that comparison was just unbelievable. griff: what do you make of the asylum changes? tom: it's a rubber stamp. every week -- maybe they will take some action to secure the

border but they do something to say something stupid. this asylum thing is a rubber stamp, you can come to the border and claim asylum and you don't have to see an immigration judge. you will have a cis employee make the decision and their policy is going to be clear that they are going to rubber stamp as many as they can. this is just a continuation of open borders and it's going to be another magnet just like title 42 to bring a record number of people to our border. we are already on a glide path to beat last year's numbers and with the recent announcement and asylum rules we will blow the numbers out of the water. griff: month of february, we got those numbers, 164,000 on track to be a record year. it's actually up 63% from last year and last year was a railroad year just in the last 30, you see 164,973 compared to 101.

if title 42 doesn't go away, what would that look like? tom: we will see numbers that we have not seen before and put on the latest ice report where ice has the lowest number of deportations in the history of the agency. secretary mayorkas said ice cannot arrest somebody for being here illegally. again, that is -- that's a bull horn to the rest of the nation and to this country illegally, get ordered remove by a judge and you still won't be removed. griff: we have to leave it there. we have run out of time. that's all for us. gillian, past been great to be with you. gillian: very busy couple news hours, griff, we will continue to keep you updated on the war on ukraine. that does it for us. fox news live with eric and arthel. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ with no down payment. and they're holding the line on purchase loans

arthel: president biden minutes ago a wrapping up a major address on the war in ukraine, the president spoke just five hours away from lviv in western ukraine where earlier today multiple explosions rocked that city. less than 50 miles from the border of nato ally poland. lviv is a crossroads for millions of ukrainians fleeing putin's brutal invasion is. presiden
