the u.s. leadership because we know the sanctions and everything else in order to be effective, we need all of our friends and allies to be together. and as we know, our european allies are at the same place where u.s. is now. neil: all right, ambassador. i want to thank you very much for taking the time. again, much depends on the day by day and the talk and whether it ever gets to talks. >> it's very difficult for us especially as jews to see those sights here. it reminds us what happened 80 years ago. i used to see refugees only in black and white pictures and now i can see in color. griff: israeli doctor describing what he is witnessing trying to help refugees escape an unbelievable scene, the horrors of the russian war on ukraine

this as ukrainian forces make some advances on territory that have been taken by the russians. this video taken in the recently liberated kyiv suburb of irpin. jacqui: a week ago today i was in poland when there was an air strike around where you're standing right now in lviv what is it like to be there. what's the energy of this place, have you been hearing sirens, tell us a little bit about how it is over there? griff: it's really quite something to be on the ground here, jacqui and you're right, it was exactly missile struck one mile to the east of where i'm standing, just a reminder is on the western side, the rear, the front lines are in the south where mariupol is in kyiv and

donbas region and long-range missile shout-out of crimea region and hit nearby and reminder of the danger that this country is at war and to get on the ground here and spend a few days learning just the defiance and sincerity of the ukrainians, men, women, children all coming together to stand up against what is now been 38 days of combat and they are feeling momentum as each day we get a little tidbit, today's tidbit ukrainian forces in the east driving russians back from kharkiv, a city pounded since it began. we know obviously that the russian forces are withdrawing particularly kyiv area to regroup and launch new offenses and everyone is aware and to be

here and tell the story of the ukrainian people is quite something. obviously lviv being the center point of refugees trying to get out and all the aid coming in. we will have a lot more to say about that a little bit later. jacqui: we are excited to have you there. we have to stop meeting like this, separated by the ocean, so happy to have you on the other side this time, we have a lot to get into here. griff: we do. let's start with the ukrainian president zelenskyy telling fox news he will not accept any outcome besides victory and claiming we are russian forces are leaving mines behind kyiv, alex hogan live on the ground in lviv. alex, what is the latest, you have been in the ship for last several hours. alex: what we are seeing what has changed russian troops are pulling around the north capital of kyiv to tunahiv, 2 miles from the capital, we are seeing going

to territories that they have not been to weeks and what they are finding decimation, a count outside of the capital has been completely destroyed. looking at the north eastern side of the country in the last day outside of kharkiv russian forces have now managed to take the tom of izia, contested for the last 3 weeks, heavy battle, russian troops have manage today take that town but the one area of focus that really that everyone is looking at now not only now but in coming day what is will happen in mariupol and whether it will poll, it's been largely surrounded by russians forces and caught in the middle of all of this and the people who live there, 90% of the buildings in mariupol have been flattened and we have area footage of what it looks like, take a look at the shot, home after home and structures remain, there are shells of what used to still be there.

about one hundred thousand people had been living there this week and only 6,000 people managed to get out in the last couple of days which is a horrifying number given the situation that we know on the ground. people do not have food, they do not have running water. people have been melting snow just to survive and humanitarian aid is not able to get in there because russian forces are simply not letting it in. griff: a hundred thousand are believed to remain and the city has population of 430,000. that means over 300,000 have fled and you began this at the beginning of march, you were in poland, you were in romania, hungary, what is it -- first of all, how long have you been here? you have done amazing, incredible job and what is it to reflect now on the time that you have been here? alex: we have been on the ground for about a month. we started in poland, move today eslovaquia and hungary and romania and lacking at the

international response about how countries are approaching this and welcoming refugees in. more than 4 million people have left and as you just mentioned mariupol is one example of people fleeing their homes in droves and in our time on the ground we got to meet so many people and hear the horrifying stories of not just leaving their homes but leaving loved ones and the difficult decision for so many parents who had to grapple with the fact that they want today leave the country to save their kids but often it meant that they would have to leave mom or dad back home because they. >> too frail or too old to make this dangerous journey especially when we know that there are land mines and strikes continuing to happen. so we've been talking to people for a month now and when you're covering a story like this, we are not just looking at it, we are really living inside of it. every single person that you see even here in lviv they they will me, well, this is a safer city in ukraine. the people who live here do in the feel safe.

other people coming from other parts of the country might feel the safer city. for them it's not. i met a man yesterday, one of the many father who is stayed behind, wife and son are currently living in austria. he has no idea when he will see them again and right now he's making molotov cocktails, the only thing he can do to feel like he's fighting back. griff: jacqui, i want to bring you in if you have a question for alex and i believe that you can talk directly to her. jacqui: alex, i've been watching your work and i'm captivated as you covered so much territory. in your mind, what are the differences between how people are responding in areas like poland versus in eslovaquia and romania, what's the difference country to country in terms of humanitarian situation and how people are responding and then also what are the fears in those countries that this might spill over the ukrainian border and -- and end up impacting people in

that area? alex: what we saw, jacqui, initially, the majority of people are still traveling to poland, the vast majority. so it has been an overwhelming response the polish people going to support their neighbors to the east. now in eslovaquia what we saw it was extremely organized. they had basically built a tent city, every tent was separated with food, clothing, medical supplies, psychological care to help people deal with the emotional baggage of what they are bringing with them. we didn't see as many people arriving in hungary in our time there and in romania, again, it was a trickle of people that would come in immediately. they were bussed off to other cities, mainly going to larger cities and then from there traveling to other parts throughout europe but every single city that i visited, every little border town, the volunteers there say that they are completely overwhelmed. they do not have the infrastructure to help support all of these people and often stories that we are hearing from

refugees that left, they say that they have absolutely no idea where they are going and that's the uncertainty that we are feeling not just on the other side of the border but really here and all throughout part of europe. people don't know if this war will trickle out to the neighboring nation and the people who have left have no clue when they will see their loved ones again. griff: such an important point. we will talk to a refugee who was fleeing just yesterday. alex hogan, amazing work. thanks for being here. jacqui, back to you. jacqui: we will talk to you again shortly. millions of refugees are fleeing the war raging in ukraine, some ukrainians are heading back home despite the the russian attacks continuing to pound their cities. alexis mcadams with the latest on that story, alexis. reporter: hi, jacqui, as you mentioned millions of people fled ukraine and thousands of people are heading back to homeland, why? they tell us it's pretty simple, they had to leave behind family members, some of those couldn't

leave because of disabilities or too old to be able to travel like that at the drop of a hat, when the russian shelling started, they didn't have a chance to say good-bye to their families. they had to leave their husbands, kids, some of them had to fight in the front lines and take younger children and the moms and some of the other people had to flee into poland. i want to show you what it looks like right now in ukraine as we are talking about people going back. some people say it's safe. these are recent imaging coming out of ukraine, the shelling continues and the russian troops on the ground in different areas of the countries. the unpredictable russian attacks have continued by the day. you can see the buildings damaged and troops have been targeting apartment buildings, aid centers, you name it. they are going after it there. this comes as volunteers at the border crossings tell fox news that misinformation about russia allegedly withdrawing troops is what's leading thousands of ukrainians to think it's safe when it's not. listen. >> i want to see my family.

i want to see my grandmother, my grandfather, my father. and i don't see any dangerous in my town. it was bombed 3 times but i -- i just want to go back home so bad really. reporter: they want to go back home so that's why they are taking their bags they packed at a moment's notice and levering poland and border countries to head back home. volunteers telling me each day thousands of refugees are getting on trains going onto lviv and kyiv. they are all trying to find the same thing, food and supplies and space to stay in the long term. back here busy areas as people pack their bags and head back to homeland. as they do that, as we mentioned, workers are on the ground right now in mariupol trying to get people who have been trapped there for days and bunkers out of there. it's just a big contrast to see

people heading back and people that cannot get out of there for several days that don't have food, they don't have water, they don't have supplies and other people are heading back, jacqui. jacqui: alexis, there are still refugees coming to poland every day. how is the country keeping up with it? reporter: well, they are doing their best. depending on who you talk to, the mayor of warsaw says they can't keep up with the massive flow. officials on the ground say they want to help, of course, we want to help, our hearts are open, people are opening home to let refugees stay with them. the infrastructure in poland wasn't build for this and all of the kids coming with their moms need to sign up for class, right, they don't know polish. that's a whole other aspects in schools that weren't set up to have hundreds of kids added to those classrooms. still a lot more work that needs to be done in poland but we are talking with so many american companies, jacqui, that are helping up and poland depending

on the companies and also in america to step in and help. jacqui: alexis mcadams, thanks so much. the pentagon is announcing that they will send ukraine another 300 million to strengthen the defense systems while that administration works with allies to transfer soviet-made tanks. this as the president job's report despite concerns over record high inflation. david spunt in wilmington, delaware where the president is spending this weekend, hey, david. david: good afternoon, a lot on the plate. the u.s. providing 300 million in additional assistance to ukraine. the president has been on the spoken speaking countless time to ukrainian counterpart volodymyr zelenksyy substance russia invaded ukraine. also on the list are other important items that the united states is provide to go ukraine. ukraine saying they are gritful for those items. some of those items include

laser-guided rocket systems and other types of artillery and the new york times first report, jacqui,soever yet-made tanks, the europes and allies working to get the tanks immediately. in special report, the ukrainian president says he's grateful for the u.s. help and appreciative of more help and he says the two talk quite often, listen. >> we are saying that ukraine would like to see among the leaders of those gurantors those who are joining the peace process and we would like to see the united states lead by the president and those leaders. david: the president in wilmington commissioned a warship, submarine. the president praised the u.s. defenses of the united states, talked about the importance of having allies and security across the world.

he did not mention ukraine directly or go even more on that topic but clearly as i said busy for the president. he continues to get updates from his national security team. there's been $2.3 billion that u.s. has put forth to ukraine. you mentioned some of the job numbers and inflation, right now those jobless claims right now are the lowest since they've been unemployment claims since before the pandemic began which is significant for the white house and on the other hand, reporting every day inflation it's highest it's been in four decades, a difficult, difficult time for this president hoping something pans out especially with releasing those 1 million barrels per day for the next 6 months to help ease the pain at the pump, jacqui. jacqui: inflation has certainly been a thorn in the president's side, david spunt in wilmington for us, thank you so much. griff. griff: jacqui, over 10 million ukrainians have been forced to run for their lives, 4 million

have fled the country and another 6 million have been displaced internally according to the united nations, my next guest has experience firsthand. she was forced to leave her home with both her kids and is now helping others safely evacuate from war zones. joining me here is lucienna, thank you for taking time. tell me about your journey, you were rescued with your kids and your husband remains behind. >> yes. i actually leave on the north of kyiv and my village is very close to the -- this territory which is -- which was occupied and actually yesterday russians went out from the territory and so it's irpin and we move to the second day of war because it was very -- the fighter planes and

we spent the first night in the shelter and, of course, my children were scared. i have two sons, 4 and 10 year's old and we decided to move for the first time near kyiv on the south but there we spent several days in the one room, flat on seventh floor and when the air alarms were and we all of the time we moved from seventh floor to the shelter downstairs and it was very difficult to -- also to explain my children why we should do this, there are enemies and we spent also two nights, we are sleeping in this very cold shelter and -- it was attacked and bombed from the air

and that's why we decided to go to lviv and now we are in lviv. it's quite safe but actually several days ago lviv was also attacked. griff: a week ago today and your husband, luciana, stayed to fight in. >> returned back to our village and he's in the territory of defense and all men who stayed there, they are volunteer and they all the time, like they control the situation, what's going on and in order to be stay safe, so to defend our village. griff: now lucianna, you are working to evacuate others and you have particular interest to the libraries have been damaged and destroyed? >> yes, i'm working for 5 years in the charitable foundation library country and we are supporting the ukrainian libraries and now their main problem that more than 10

libraries are already damaged, in kharkiv, mariupol, of course, and we help them, collect donations and we give them money because they are -- went out without anything. just with the documents, passports and that's why they need really money for the essential things and also besides this we are shooting the videos and we want to show that ordinary people, ordinary ukrainians that are doing their best to close up this victory. for example interpreters, volunteers, librarians who make special events for children, refugees, it's a special project and my motivation is so i'm a refugee now but i don't want to go abroad.

i want to stay in ukraine and do my best for closing this victory. >> we just have about 15 seconds, but what would you like to say, what's your message to the american people, what do they need to know that are watching? >> i really want to appeal to american -- to help ukrainians because ukraine is now fighting for the whole world and really need more reps, more military assistance. we will win, of course, but please help us in this. griff: thoughts and prayers with you including your husband. thank you lyusiana shum, incredible interview and one of the countless millions struggling in the country right now. jacqui. jacqui: griff, we will take a closer look at the latest military moves on the ground in ukraine. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪

jacqui: russia is accusing ukrainian helicopters hitting an oil depo north of ukraine in russian territory as ukraine has denied. joining me to discuss latest military movement in ukraine,

daniel davis who is also a senior fellow for defense priorities, thank you very much, colonel for being with us. >> thanks for having me. jacqui: you're the expert and i will let you lead in showing on the map what we have been describing earlier in the show with griff and recent movements in particular. >> right here in irpin and north of kyiv, couple of spots, rumors that russian troops are withdrawing or evacuating from the area. as we heard from the pentagon recently, they say don't believe, this is not any kind of withdrawal or that they are leaving but repositioning and new that we are seeing that's pretty much the way it's working out. there were a couple of different russian troop movements that we have seen in armored columns north of sumy and it's crucial where they head from there. what you will see is an evolving danger for the ukrainian armed forces is that the artillery

shelling in kharkiv and probably the mop-up operations in mariupol is key. this keeps from going into donbas. this is critical. you see a couple of large concentrations of ukraine troops, about 40,000 so far. what it appears that russia is trying to do is to move troops down here to attack, join the other forces and this area to try to go around the northern shoulder of developing pocket and then take the troops up from mariupol to try to go in this direction here. if russia knocks those two things out it can trap a massive number of ukraine troops and make it much more difficult for ukraine to continue the war. now, what we also have just this morning heard that ukraine apparently recognizes this and they are sending reinforcements down this way, south of this area to try to prevent this from

going and blocking both of the directions and i think that's going to be the key to what happens in the next part of the war. jacqui: it's been difficult to predict what russia might do next. obviously it claims that they are withdrawing and the pentagon has said, don't believe a word of it. we think this is a redeployment, you just showed us what is going to happen. this is -- which plan is this? we see the russians move there -- adjust their strategy so many different times. so what did they scrap and why? >> well, one of the major mistakes that russia made strategically in addition to the tactical problems they had is they tried to do too many things all at once. they tried to come in this direction, they tried to come in from here and they tried to attack here. that's too many things at one time and all that ends up doing is dispersing your -- your combat power. they had to have repetition of what they could do and now realizing it's not.

so now that it appears that they are learning and now they are basically putting a hold here, here and here and they are putting all their power in the donbas here because i think they correctly recognize if they can defeat the -- the ukrainian forces in the pocket here, that could almost give them a chance to win the war or at least get a better negotiating position and now it's going to be up to the ukraine to prevent that from happening. jacqui: that's what we want to see. you want to mention there's an important aid organization that's doing some really great work out there, can you tell us about it? >> bret bi lacovich on the ground here and has got remarkable information but he's also part of an aid organization that brings medical supplies and you see that address on the screen there and i advise anyone to go help because it will help. jacqui: it's right there on your screen. we will have you back again soon.

thank you. for more on the russian war in ukraine and the u.s. response we are joined by democratic congresswoman from pennsylvania and member of the house armed services and foreign affairs committee chrisy, congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us. >> i appreciate it. jacqui: we appreciate you coming back. ukraine has denied attack on russian oil depo, they have are having success, seems to open a new question, ukrainian strikes on russian soil, is that something that they should be pursuing, the white house refuse today weigh in on that yesterday? congresswoman: it's an interesting question and i think right now ukrainian -- the ukrainian people are in defense of their cities and their country. when you are bringing the war

out of the country itself that it is a different situation. that being said i think what we are seeing is a transition in this particular conflict that may be indicating that we are in this for a longer time than any of us anticipated as this conflict started many people anticipated that it would be very quick, what we see in the fifth week of the conflict as you mentioned ukraine is actually gaining ground for the first time in the war and that we may likely be settling in for a very different kind of war for a very different time stance. jacqui: do you think the administration has shifted its strategy for helping ukraine since they started to have some success there? the white house has been touting today more aid but ukrainians have said that they need as many as 500javelins and stingers per day and we are not supplying anything near that amount? congresswoman: in fact, these are conversations that we are having in the armed services committee and with the

administration and it's been a really interesting period of time because bipartisanly we are having a very dynamic and interactive conversation with the administration to push all of us to make sure that we are doing everything that we can for ukraine and for the democracy that they represent and for the world order. and certainly they are, i think, pleading many of the things that we already provided in terms of javelins and stingers. we have asked as congress and i have led the ask to make sure we are thinking of all the things that they are asking for, s300's, longer-range missile that they have been asking for, some of my colleagues myself included have asked the administration to think of longer term, weapon systems and aircraft, not all formerly russian that we could train up the ukrainian army in if this does end up being an extended war that they are prepared to fight the extended war. jacqui: yesterday ukrainian president zelenskyy told our bret baier in an interview that

the slow process of transferring weapons has caused people to question at times whether the u.s. wants ukraine to win. he hedged a little bit when he was asked if he think if the president is afraid of vladimir putin and putin will respond if russia loses, what do you make of those answers of zelenskyy? congresswoman: what i would say we are speaking two different audiences. president zelenskyy needs to make sure she's pushing for the populist and also for the people who he's speaking to, nato alicense and the president and this administration and the congress. in my opinion, this particular time president biden has been doing effectively everything that he can be doing. i and many others of us are pushing to make sure the timeline is aggressive as possible but it's complex situation where we are moving weapon systems from one nation to another, exchanging weapon

systems from one nation to another in exchange for being able to bring them to ukraine so the complexity is very, very deep and it is a complicated situation that we are all involved in and i think that that's something that maybe lost to do general american public. jacqui: we have run out of time but i want to ask you a real quick one more question, the ruple is back to near levels and does there needs to be more done for russia mitigating sector and does energy loopholes need to be closed. congresswoman: i was heartening that this administration is releasing 100 million barrels of oil this month, something that we have been calling for consistently over the couple of weeks. that's a good start to open the flood gates up so to speak in our country.

other nations are doing the same thing to make sure that this global market of oil and gas is exactly that which is global. by us releasing those -- those resources and other nations that too it is providing pressure on russia as not being a provider any longer for places like germany, for places like european continent in general. jacqui: okay. all right, congresswoman christy, thank you very much for coming on the show again, appreciate your time. we will have you back again. congresswoman: thank you, appreciate you. jacqui: thanks, give. griff: jacqui, we will go to the other side of the aisle and hear from republican senator steve dayne from the great state of montana, that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪

you're a member of the energy and resources committee, but before we talk about energy and i want to talk about the historic release of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve but your thoughts on where we stand right now 38 days into this war? senator: well, just two weeks ago today i was standing on the border in poland just a couple of miles from ukraine. we saw firsthand what was going on with the refugee crisis. we, of course, met with the 82nd airborne who were there. the bottom line is this, the humanitarian crisis is not going to end until ukraine wins this war. we need to do everything that we can to provide lethal aid to ukrainians as fast as possible to get in their hands and let them win this war. frankly they are under whelmed by the way the russians are

fighting. most ukrainians are doing an amazing job fighting the russians. good to see the russians on their heels. now is the time to lean in and make sure they have all the lethal aid they need to win this war. griff: senator, your colleague representative on the other side of the aisle was calling for perhaps more to be done, to be thinking about this in a long-term possible scenario in the incredible interview with bret baier with president zelenskyy, he had a simple message, give us missiles, give us planes, we want a simple peace. why do you believe the administration isn't on the same page as you and your colleague representative hullan and representative zelenskyy? senator: well, they need to get on the same plane. the ukrainians came from kyiv,

ten u.s. senators, bipartisan, miles away from the ukraine border in poland two weeks ago, very clear message, give us the planes, give us lethal aid, giver us what we need to win the war. they were critical of secretary blinken and president biden. that sent the wrong message to the nato allies and ukrainians and president biden does not have moral clarity on this war and how important it is to give the ukrainians what they need to win it. griff: senator, your thoughts on the historic release of oil reserves from the strategic petroleum reserve. you've been critical of it, why? senator: well, president biden tapping into the oil reserves while at the same time refusing to unleash made in america energy is like the captain of the titanic offering discount on

dinner while the ship is sinking. remember the petroleum reserves are designed to protect our national security and not biden's sinking polling numbers. so this is a political move because the democrats and the biden are desperate because the american people are seeing right through it. they know the right answer, to unleash american energy and not doing what biden has done, killing the keystone pipeline, stop oil and gas leases, appointing the woke judges and regulatory official who are antimade in america, that has got to stop, a desperate attempt by president biden to reverse what's going on right now at the gas pump and it's failing polling numbers. griff: senator steve daines from the great state of montana, senator, thank you for taking time today, jacqui. senator: stay safe. jacqui: will smith is making a

[shots fired] griff: series of explosions and flying debris near ukrainian nuclear plant in southern ukraine, no word yet on any damage in that area. it was clearly yet another attack. welcome to fox news live, i'm griff jenkins in lviv, ukraine. jacqui: and i'm jacqui heinrich in washington. griff, it's great to have you giving us on the ground look, what can you tell us real quick about your time in ukraine or president obama listened and poland and ukraine so far? griff: one week ago today that

the air raid sirens had been going off shortly before noon and then we, of course, had a missile strike that came from all the way out of the crimea region and when you see musicians performing, the people here in lviv trying to go about their daily business, alarms go off throughout the day, they went off twice today but what was difference a week ago is that a long-range missile capable of killing hundreds if not thousands destroying buildings like we've seen in eastern and southern parts of this country, it's stark warning that vladimir putin is capable and willing to strike anywhere at any time. jacqui: that strike you're mentioning near lviv it's hard to believe that it was a week ago, feels like it was a month ago. i was with the president in warsaw when that happened and it felt like a clear message from vladimir putin that biden better

listen up. griff: yeah, that's exactly right. and, you know, we should talk also about the big news that happened in the last 24 hours and that was ukrainian president volodymyr zelenksyy telling fox news that the only outcome he will accept is, indeed, victory. jacqui. jacqui: ukrainians are fearing that they are not getting enough help. ukrainian president zelenskyy telling fox news the only outcome he's going to accept is victory and he's going to need support to do that. jeff paul is live on the ground in lviv, ukraine with the latest on that part of the story, hey, jeff. jeff: yeah, jacqui, we continue to see people arrive here in western ukraine from some of the hardest-hit areas. they are coming from cities like irpin and kharkiv and if they change to escape non-stop

shelling like mariupol, some progress has been made getting people out to safer cities like zaporizhzhia and they aren't allowing them to leave due to constant bombardment and not allowing aid into the city and the red cross is trying yet again today to enter mariupol. those who have managed to get out say, say it took them days by foot, random rides with strangers and sleeping in fields to get out. >> i have only one question, why? we only lived as normal people and our normal life was destroyed and we lost everything. i don't have any job, i can't find my son. jeff: while intense fighting continues in the east ukrainian officials say there's strong proof that russian forces are now withdrawing from in and around the capital city of kyiv

but ukrainian president volodymyr zelenksyy is warning of catastrophic situations there for civilians who are attempting to return. he says russian forces are now leaving mines around homes, abandoned equipment and even in the bodies of the dead. we are also learning some somber news about ukrainian journalist, he went missing in mid-march, his body was found yesterday with two bullet holes and people today remember a fierce and fearless journalist to tell the truth of what is happening in ukraine, jacqui. jacqui: jeff, you were in live lvivwhen the strike happened noo far away, the feeling that this could go to areas that were widely considered to be sort of safe and protected employees comparatively to the rest of the country up until last week. jeff: jacqui, you nailed it on

the head and this is a message to president biden and even ukrainian officials say this is a way for vladimir putin to say, hello, but in the weeks instead, of course, there have been constant air raid sirens but life continues here. we went to a walk today to get a test of the temperature here in lviv and people are still arriving here because this really truly seem to be like one of the safest places and i think there's a part of this that is, you know, defiant, that they will go and live their lives as normal as possible despite everything happening across the country. jacqui. jacqui: great job out there, we will take to you again soon. griff: russian forces are continuing to pound eastern ukraine and booby-trapping areas around the capital of kyiv according to president zelenskyy. alexis mcadams live in poland. alexis. reporter: hi, griff, it is the situation here in poland on the

ground, behind me a rail station and leaving poland to head back to ukraine saying they are heading back to their homeland because it's dangerous because they want to reunite with their families. thinking about their loved ones that they didn't have a chance to say good-bye to because as we have to remember at the beginning of the attacks from russia and ukraine, they had no time to pack a bag or say good-bye and didn't know that they were going to see their families again. >> the whole country was scared because they didn't know how many bombs russia have. so now people can see in their city it's safe so they can go back home, so i'm going to. reporter: yeah, but how safe could ukraine really be? look at the images we are talking about, very clearly it is not safe. this is a look at some of the horrific damage in ukraine right

now. that's an oil facility in lviv which was hit by a russian air strike just days ago and that's in the western part of ukraine where people are traveling back into because they think according to them and families that are still there that it's becoming safer by the day. fire crews were there at the facility for hours trying to battle the blaze as the unpredictable russian attacks had continued. also vol veers at the border crossings are telling fox news that this misinformation about russia rather allegedly withdrawing troops is leading thousands of ukrainians to think there's allow in attacks. also volunteers in rail stations that you're seeing, thousands of refugees boarding trains and returning back home. some refugees tell us they ran out of money and others can't find a place to stay in poland because it is crowded here with refugees and they are all trying to find supplies in places to stay. back out here in front of the rail station i can tell you that there are more than 2 million refugees here in poland right now. the polish government is doing everything they can to help

those people. they are welcoming them with open arms and giving them food and supplies and health care without any payment necessary but the question is how long can this go on in poland with so many people that are leaving by the day, griff. griff: alexis, many refugees are still crossing into poland. what are they telling you about what is happening back home? reporter: well, i think this would be no surprise to you, griff, when you talk to these people as you just did at the rail station where you are in ukraine, the stories that they have are so horrific. you can really not have tears in your eyes, you can't help it by listening to the things that little kids have seen and when you talk to the people by mariupol, they are trying by the day, red cross is trying to get in there, those people have seen things that are honestly are so horrific. we couldn't even say on tv. they were sitting in bunkers, no food, no water, no supplies, they don't know if their families are alive and they they don't know if they will make it out. try to think about that when we are thinking about constant

attacks in ukraine. they can't go to see what's happening outside because the shelling is constant, griff. griff: the uncertainty all part of this humanitarian crisis, alexis mcadams live for news poland, alexis, thank you. jacqui. jacqui: griff the biden administration is working with allies to transfer tanks to ukraine while the pentagon announces 300 million in aid heading there. david spunt has the latest from the white house in wilmington, delaware where the president is spending his weekend, hey, david. david: hey, jacqui, $301 million announced by the pentagon is significant and adds larger chunk of money this administration has up forward to ukraine so the country can defend itself. little bit over $2 billion since president biden took that oath of office in january 2021. some of the items on the most recent list jacqui include laser-guided rocket system, other types of artillery and as you mentioned the tanks,

soviet-made tanks, the u.s. and european allies will work to get the tanks to ukraine as soon as possible. yesterday in an exclusive interview with bret baier ukrainian president zelenskyy says he's grateful for the u.s. help and speaks to president biden biden constantly and always appreciative of more help from the americans. listen. >> we are saying that ukraine would like to see among the leaders of those grantors those who are joining this important peace settlement process, we would like to see the united states among those leaders. david: the president in wilmington, delaware with family. an hour and a half ago he helped commission a war submarine, at the port of wilmington, the uss delaware, that's where the president praised our american

defenses on the seas. >> this latest ship to carry the uss delaware is part of a long -- part of long tradition of serving our nation proudly and strengthening our nation security, security of the united states of america, not just us but our allies and partners around the world as well. david: busy week ahead for the president. not only is he focusing on ukraine when he gets back to the white house he will be focusing on the inflation issue, the highest in 40 years. also he will be watching his supreme court nominee ketanji brown jackson on the senate floor and maybe time to put somebody on the supreme court. high stakes for the president when he returns to washington, jacqui. jacqui: david spunt in wilmington, delaware. griff. griff: jacqui, nikalia has been

under heavy bombardment, the mayor of nikalia shared message on war this week. so many of the people that you work with and work for the government lost their lives and are injured, are you worried about what comes next? >> for sure we are worried because all those people who were hit by the missile were just office workers. so, i mean, they know -- four military people were there let's say guards on the first floor of this building. a lot of people were just office workers who worked on humanitarian situation in the regions and in the transport, everything connected to let's say regional services.

all those people, women, they were there. so it was a hit on the head of regional administration i could say. griff: when you hear of the peace talks negotiations, do you have any faith that there will be progress? >> i don't believe to putin -- everything that he says he does vice versa so when he says that we will bombard only military objects and we see that he is bombarding our city. already 300 buildings were ruined partially and 60 buildings ruined totally. for now i can say that everything that he says is untrue. he said civilians, ukraine plans to use chemical weapons, that means he plans to use chemical

weapons. so he says that ukrainians are hiding civilians but we know that they occupy villages and artillery inside so we can get them and do hits right from the villages where people who live there are like, you know, prisoners or hostages. griff: how concerned are you that he might attack mikolaiv with a chemical weapon? >> i hope it won't happen. anyway, we are trying to defend ourself and everyone who can carry a weapon in territorial defense or in army or national guard. we are ready to fight with them till -- deaths say till the last. griff: do you feel olexandr that president biden and nato leaders fully understand putin's intention?

>> i think the whole world except people who live in russia understand what is going on. i mean, people in russia still think that they are fighting with some kind of nazi, with people who speaks russian. in my daily life i use russian as primary language, russian language. so i think the whole world understands that this is putin's nazi ideas, his idea to ruin countries around his own country and instead of repair and build his own country he wants to destroy all countries around him to be like in a good company. but ukrainians are not russians. even if we use russian language in our communications, we think different, we think in the western way, you know, so for sure i think biden understand that and all european leaders also understand that and

president biden thanks to him he came to poland to understand. griff: you've been an inspiration to the world. people are talking about ukraine winning this war. >> we don't say if we win, we say when we win. for sure we will win in this war and when we will win the whole world will know the truth about putin, about his ideas, about his nazis and humanitarian missions, he hates ukrainians, you know, because we are the ones who win and he's losing with his corruption and all his problems in his country, sources, so that's why he's trying to, you know, to destroy our country because his people are asking him why the country like ukraine with less

resources, less territory become to live better and worst and worst every day. griff: if you could say something to putin. >> save your people, don't send them to ukraine because we ukrainians, we will stand to the last, last person who is able to defend our country and all the people who will be sent here will be killed here just for nothing, just for your ideas. think about it. griff: strong words there from mikolaiv's mayor olexandr, we don't say if we win but when we win. jacqui: thank you so much. our expert panel is joining us coming up next to analyze russian moves on the ground. stick with us. ♪ ♪

killed last month outside of kyiv ukraine in an attempt to cover the ongoing war. when handed a pope of pierre, the pope commented in italian, quote, he is up there. journalist and fox news consultant alexandra also died in the attack, our reporter hall was injured. jacqui. jacqui: griff, our panelists here to help us break down the evolving russia-ukraine war, we want to bring former cia chief of station dan hoffman and former deputy assistant secretary of state for europe and euro asia matthew. thank you for joining us. appreciate getting both sides of the perspective with the intelligence and diplomacy. daniel, i want to start with you. has russia's recent movements indicated that putin has shifted his goals to perhaps just securing parts of ukraine, eastern ukraine, what do we make of the latest? dan: yeah, so one thing we have

to -- they've been doing that but then you have to look at their actions and they are still launching long-range missiles from russia to ukrainian territory. they reportedly left mines behind outside of kyiv and they are moving a lot of their troops to eastern ukraine. they are focused on mariupol which is under siege right now if they were able to capture that city then they would create a land bridge to crimea. it does potentially reflect the fact that russia's war entering now, you know, sixth week has failed utterly failed to decapitate the government in kyiv which was their goal and install a puppet regime. and so we are seeing some realities on the battlefield play out. jacqui: matthew, i want to get to you next. this morning has avoided questions for weeks about whether it believes that ukraine

can win and the pentagon this week said something colleaguer than we have said before, they want ukraine to win. it's not exactly the same thing as saying that it can win, do you think that our strategy for helping yuck rain has shifted at all since they started having some success in beating russia back? matthew: we heard latest announcement of $300 million in various weapons, soviet-era tanks, manufactured drones that can have an impact, but i agree with the premise of your question. i don't think we should be saying, ukraine might win or -- we should be pushing for ukraine to win. ukraine has to win this and what the definition of win is is subjective. it means it can't lose the capital and it can't lose its government and fundamentally it can't be such that russia is

rewarded by being seen as legitimately holding onto ukrainian territory that it seized by force. those messages need to be articulated clearly and i also think the sanctions, i know we will get to this in a moment, but the sanctions that we put in place they are unprecedentedly strong but they could be stronger. jacqui: daniel, i want to get your reaction to that because, you know, saying that ukraine has to win and needs to win is significant and bret baier did an interview with the ukrainian president zelenskyy and i want to read a quote that stood out, i don't know if president biden is fearing president putin. i believe that he doesn't, i want to believe that he doesn't because he's the leader of a big nation. the fact that zelenskyy is wondering if biden fears putin, what does that say and is the u.s. concerned, too concerned about his reaction if ukraine

does win? dan: matt is 100% right of u.s. policy, we do not reward russia, vladimir putin for this war of aggression during which he has rained down hell on ukrainian civilians and targeted ukrainian cities with impunity. i think the concern from president zelenskyy is that this administration is allowing vladimir putin to deter us from doing all that we should be doing to help ukraine. we haven't provided ukraine with s300 air defense systems and we haven't given them the mig fighter aircraft, out of concern this administration says the president says over the potential for a world war iii. i think that's gone a bit too far and i don't think we should allow russia to deter us. we should not -- we should leave everything on the table, potentially even a humanitarian corridor in the west and no-fly zone maybe over part of ukraine to facility that corridor or

even un peace-keeping troops. we shouldn't leave anything off the table and i think that's the concern from president zelenskyy, is that we have been ruling things out and that's just seating the battle space to vladimir putin and we shouldn't be doing that. jacqui: matthew, i see you nodding there. do you think that nato is going to shift its stance in terms of being more receptive to the idea of a no-fly zone or humanitarian no-fly zone and separately, do you think there's a diplomatic path still for ending this war or will it just have to continue until one side wins? >> yeah, i know dan for 27 years and served in embassy in moscow. i agree with everything that he just said. you know, i don't think nato is going to go for an enforcement of no-fly zone, however, because that will get us into direct armed conflict with russia but there's way more we can do on air defenses. get the ukrainians, s300's, mig fighters so they can continue devastating their russian enemy

that's invaded their territory, but getting nato troops directly involved in conflict with russia actually plays in putin's hands. putin has totally controlled the information space in russia. i mean, his support is up to 83% as compared with about 54% two months ago before this operation began. and that's because he simply feeding a diet of lies to the russian people, telling them that zelenskyy, a jewish democratic-elected pollition is a nazi and that the russians are protecting russian speakers in eastern ukraine. it's ridiculous but russians but russians who watch russian tv which is the vast majority are believing it. i think a diplomatic path, it's possible depending on what we mean by diplomatic. i mean, the use of military force is a diplomatic tool. it's a diplomatic tool that shapes the battle space. so i think putin now sees he's losing on the battlefield. he has to adjust his demands and

there's a real risk that the rest of the world is going the lean on zelenskyy to stop fighting now just when ukraine is getting some momentum to reshape the political scenario to ukraine's favor meaning not having to give up territory to russia. jacqui: i could go on for you forever. we have run out of time. thank you so much matthew bryza and matthew hoffman, talk to you again soon. >> thank you so much. jacqui: protestors in atlanta are showing their support for war testify torn ukraine and shining the light on innocent children being killed in the violence. ♪ ♪ ♪

griff: chief ukrainian negotiator david arakamia revealing moments ago that italy is expressing their willingness

to be grantor of ukraine's security, they join two other countries, germany, italy and turkey the 3 willing to do so, a significant development and something that president zelenskyy will be happy about, jacqui. jacqui: all right, well, mothers in atlanta are marching to protest the killings of innocent children as the russian assault continues. they are using shocking imagery like fake bloodstain facts to represent the murdered children to bring awareness to those suffering in ukraine. charles watson live from the protest in centennial park, hey, charles. charles: hi, jacqui, as you can see behind me, dozens of demonstrators out here protesting the war in ukraine as -- protesting the war in ukraine and showing solidarity for the people of ukraine. organizers tell me this is called the mother's emergency and they say this is really an international call to action to

bear light on the atrocities that are happening in ukraine specifically the targeting and killing of young children who have not been able to make it out of that country. you can see over here on the ground they've got children's toys out there, really signifying the happiness that children would normally be experiencing in ukraine instead they are really seeing and experiencing gruesome realities as made evidence by the mocked babies wrapped up and blankets covered in fake blood and organizers out hearsay that the message that they are trying to get across is it doesn't matter what country you're from or what your political preferences or what your religion is, what matters is that you can still and understand the pain of young children. we spoke to an organizer, one of the organizers out here. she just moved to the u.s. within the year. she still has family in the ukraine right now and they are experiencing all of this. take a listen to what she had to

say about what's happening in her home country. >> this killed, sad mothers, you know, how it's difficult to grow your child and in one day russia just kill you. and i ask mothers around the world to support ukrainian mothers because it's not only ukrainian kids, this is our kids. charles: and jacqui, this is what we are seeing from folks out here. they want to stop the energy import from russia. they want to secure air space, they say these are all the things that they believe will be able to help the ukrainian people ultimately protect their country from russian attacks and ultimately protect their people very heartbreaking situation for a lot of these folks who have family there and every day, you know, pins and needles waiting

to hear back fm family members and hoping they are alive, jacqui. jacqui: charles watson, thank you for the story. griff. griff: jacqui it's been a week since arrived in live live and e fighting doesn't seem to slow down in a bit. joining retired army lieutenant colonel chuck, army offer for 24 years specializing in russian tactics, colonel, great to have you. the news today, the ukrainian forces in kharkiv, the eastern donbas area able to get ground and pushing russians back. you have been studying the maps as well, where do you make on where the battle space stands now? >> we have two important developments. first of all, russia has suffered strategic defeat around kyiv and ukrainians are pushing back successfully.

you are only going to see some russians captured and some equipment captured north of kyiv. the area near kharkiv is very dangerous phase of the battle. what the russians are trying to do is cut off one-third of active force, force that's in the east in the donbas area and to seizure of isim is dangerous indication that the russians may be finally getting offensive momentum, so this war is going to see a shift from the north to the south and to the east and we really need to do everything we can to keep ukrainians because they will be burning ammunition and equipment in the next coming weeks. griff: colonel, are you still of the opinion that as we watch the russians shift their strategy and really focus on donbas region, kharkiv to the north but if you come to mariupol, we heard so much about russians wanting to create a land bridge

really across donbas from russia to crimea. do you think that's still the objective? >> i think it is. i think putin is trying to strengthen his hand at the negotiating table because he has suffered a strategic defeat in that he hasn't been able to change the government in kyiv and so his second best option so he doesn't have to admit defeat is have victory in the east, have the land bridge, to own all of the coast and the sea of ozo and, again, what you're going to see is the russians are going to adapt, you'll see improved tactics but from a strategic standpoint, they still have significant weaknesses in sofar as logistics capabilities and what i'm concerned about is we are not providing ukraine with enough equipment fast enough so that they can actually win this conflict with russia. we also need to be repairing and getting back into the battle, the battle damaged equipment,

some of the equipment the ukrainians have captured as well as their own equipment. that can probably be done in poland. we need the s300's antiaircraft missiles and the mig 29's should have been sent weeks ago to ukraine. griff: well, and we saw president zelenskyy in his interview, colonel, with bret baier say give me the missiles, give me the jets. i want to just take us to mykoliav, down in the southern area, we interviewed olexandr, it's not a matter of if but matter of when we win. he's really strategically located for the russians if they are going to advance west along the black sea ridge heading toward odesa. my question is can they, indeed, win? >> i certainly think the ukrainians can win if we properly equip them. they have shown resilience and

bravery, battlefield adaptation, mission command, they pushed down to the lowest possible level initiative with their junior officers. this is something that the russians have been culturally incapable of doing. and so they will make great use of whatever equipment we are able to send their way but if we underresource them, what's going to happen is more ukrainian lives will be lost and the conflict will be drawn out. we don't want to do that. it's in america's national interest to see ukraine win the conflict and maintain its independence. griff: and colonel, just in the last 30 seconds we've got, we've talked a lot about time, whose side is time on, russians or ukrainians? >> i'm afraid the russians. we need to send a very strong message to the people's republic

of china that as they try to assist russia that that's going to hurt them economically. what's happened in recent weeks is the russian economy has begun to rebound because sanctions aren't enough. america has to once again have energy dominance. griff: retired lieutenant colonel chuck, chuck, thank you very much for taking the time, great insight. jacqui. >> thank you. jacqui: griff as millions of ukrainians flee their home country, organizations are hard at work to assist those in need, more on that coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪

red cross teams are working inside and outside of ukraine to distribute necessary supplies like food, bedding, tents, water and those in need. if you would like to join the fox corporation and supporting their cause, go to redcross.com. so far we have brought over $13 million. jacqui. jacqui: to give us an inside look into this life-saving operation we have emergency delegate for the international federation of the red cross and red cross societies gentleman j, janelle, thank you for being with us. you just arrived in poland but you were in romania. i want to bring the map to show people how many people have left ukraine. poland has 2.4 million people,

just much larger number of refugees flooding into poland versus some of the other surrounding countries. janelle, what's sort of the differences between what you saw in romania and what you are seeing now in poland? >> so the flow of people crossing the worder from ukraine is certainly slowing and that's true for all the countries but still there are more than 100,000 people coming per day seeking safety from ukraine. here in poland red cross medical teams are at train stations and are still triage serious medical cases and providing first aids and things like that. right now what we are seeing people are arriving who have less resources who didn't want to leave in the first place, of course, nobody does, but these are people who are hesitant to leave and more needs of people coming across. jacqui: what are some of the

needs that we might not think of? i know there's an issue of potentially sim cards, wheelchairs, strollers, pregnant women are having a particularly hard time. >> that's right, so when people come across the border, a lot of them are carrying what only they could drag in a suitcase and so a lot of people have tons of needs, some need wheelchairs as soon as they cross the border or walkers, other people want to get in touch with their family members back home, maybe they've been separated for days or weeks. the romanian red cross was offering mobile charging and sim cards and that's one of the common things people ask for because honestly, they could have food, they could have drinks, they could have a place to sleep but unless they have peace of mind and they are able to get in touch with their loved ones, people can't sleep. pregnant women too. i met a pregnant woman at a distribution. she's a new mom and she's just

facing ton of uncertainty, her partner is still back in ukraine and she was asking from everything from vitamins to a stroller because she's going to have to face new motherhood in a new country that she just didn't expect. jacqui: wow, we see here in the u.s. images of people getting help at these processing stations but the need continues beyond, you know, just that moment where they are getting blankets and food. what does that look like, you know, long term. what kind of support are the refugees getting? >> so thanks to the generosity of donors to the represent cross and other organizations, we are able to offer some more medium-support to people and we are going to be focusing on task reddick institution in the coming weeks and months and really people can get stuff like you said blankets and shampoo, food, water, coffee, but being able to get cash in the hands of people who are fleeing ukraine,
