i'll see you at the end of tomorrow! end of tomorrow good evening, i'm mehdi hasan. the russian air or attacks are still confronting ukraine. destroying neighborhoods. it is a battle to see the cities like kharkiv, or mariupol where things are on the siege, and where hundreds of people will be sheltering on the bombardment. scheduling for food and water -- . >> [inaudible] >> the effort to isolate moscow from the global economy continues, with president biden ordering a ban on all of

russian imports. a move that has severe impacts on russia, and to the u.s. as well. russian oil accounts for less than 10% of imports, but americans will feel the squeeze. according to the presidents, there is one person a blame for that. >> [inaudible] >> then i go up! >> [inaudible] >> can't do much right now, russia's possible! >> several major companies joined corporate america's exit from russia. -- announced all 850 of its restaurants would close, starbucks, coca-cola, and pepsi followed suit. ukrainian president zelenskyy sulk to british parliament today, and discuss the urgent need for military support and humanitarian need from the rest. the same day that intel chiefs warned that putin is unlikely

to be deterred. that means more firepower, more shelling, horror and loss for the millions of ukraine strapped in an active war zone. while fleeing for future. 2 million ukrainians! 2 million! have become refugees since vladimir putin began his illegal invasion. 2 million will men and children, for sleeved loved ones fathers! spouses! their parents! to escape putin's bombs. i'm joined now by cal perry in lviv ukraine, and ali velshi in hungary. the border with ukraine. thank you both for joining me again. carol, let me start with you again. what is the current situation in lviv tonight? has there been any change on the ground? >> not in this city. i am in the western city of lviv, as you said, just before i come to you each night, kurt unless. it's a man dash because everybody hits the streets at

the same time to get to the shops to buy what's left on the shelves. because this is a city that is bursting at the seams. you mentioned the 2 million refugees. any number of them would've passed through the city on the main way to poland. this is the way station near the polish border. and folks are as you laid out. we are in the same place that we started for 24 hours ago, hoping for a cease-fire. yesterday, the unilateral path the cease-fire did not stick. there was only one city where we saw actual civilians getting out on the humanitarian corridor. the situation -- in remains wars. there are bodies on the streets, there are people humbled in bunkers for days. they say that young girl, seven years old, died of dehydration in the rubber after a house had been shelled. it is a humanitarian crisis across the country. and these cities are being run by russian troops, cut off, and

strangled. they are shelling these areas indiscriminately, and they are shelling them -- . we have seen this before, we've seen russians do it. and they're doing it now in the northern and southern part of the country. >> and cal, there continues to be reports about poor morale among russian soldiers in ukraine. many don't know what they're doing there, why they're fighting. whether the ukrainian leaders saying they're learning from captured soldiers? what are they hearing from these russians? >> so this is a theme that they are driving home here. the morning news cast has been replaced by war coverage. and every morning, in fact, right now there are russian soldiers being paraded in front of the cameras. and they are hitting on these themes as they are being interrogated by ukrainians. same thing over and over again, they were sent here on a training mission. they don't know what they were doing here. they don't want to be. fighting they are lost, they are giving up, they are

surrendering. it is partly the rally people to the cause. partly a way to get folks to move to the front. but it is very much an information war. it's happening here, justices in happening in russian. and behind it all is presidential in ski. and he is a man that has risen to this moment. he looks the part, every time we see the videos, we see is rallying cries. >> he certainly has risen to the moment. ali, in hungary, 2 million people have now fled ukraine. to neighboring countries. -- the u.s. agency estimates that could double in the next weeks and months. 190, 000, i believe have crossed the border to hungary. wet today from those who spoke into? >> the idea that half of them are children would be borne out by the interviews we've had, the people that we have seen. you can see behind me, on a concert basis there are more families and children coming here. you'll probably see a band behind me in a few minutes,

unloading. one thing that is interesting, it seems like a slow and steady trickle, but there is some hungary soldiers here that are lighting up on the other side of the border. it stretches 10 to 12 hours to get over here. it's called. it's about 25 degrees now. a little bit after six in the morning. and these people, when they come here. to the refugee greeting centers. they got warmth, they are food and things like that. but they have to get out of ukraine. so they are still struggling. it's constant. the numbers are going up every single day. and increasingly, there are people -- i meeting who have been from eastern ukraine, from those parts of ukraine that have been in conflict, but now we're seeing people who are coming in from kyiv, from lviv. i'm not just taking these chances anymore. and when they get here and it shows the destruction in their cities, they are fascinated and heartbroken. and devastated. all of these people have somebody left behind, including some of the man.

>> quick question before we run out of time. i want to pick your financial brain. how big a blow is russian economy is it from biden banning russian imports? >> well, it would be bigger places like hungary and journey, in the eu that decided to ban it as well. but keep in mind, when you look at oil, and coal, and natural gas. it makes up 44% of all the revenue russian makes from other countries. so it is the single, by far, largest part of the company. for biofuels. it's a big deal, it's not far enough. joe biden hasn't been able to convince a lot of these countries that this is worth it. if it doesn't happen, russia will still continue. if the eu bans russian gas, that will be very hard for putin to recover from. >> we'll wait and see what happens next. carol, ali, stay safe. >> with me now is corroded, a

member of the ukrainian parliament. thank you for joining us. the united states and nato countries continue saying that they are opposed to providing a no-fly zone. your president says every day, closed down the skies. they said no, that will lead to world war iii. how long do you think your country can hold out, if that request is not granted? >> thank you for having me. so yeah, the no fly zone is super critical for the country. super critical for ukrainians who are fighting every single day. because i can tell you how the night was in kyiv. it was not easy. we had to go through the bomb shelters three times a night. and this happened over the last six hours. this happens because russia, almost freely, is coming and shelling our cities. and creating the destruction everywhere it can. we do need the protection from this type. otherwise, we will not be able

to have -- to win this war. that is the truth. and this is why the president is continuously asking. and this is why i'm continuously asking for a no-fly zone. or measures related to that. so we have seen from poland, that we will receive additional just to protect ourselves from the sky. this is really worse. this is step one. if we are not receiving any additional aid in the situation, then i can tell you that it will be very hard for us to win. because our cities will be destroyed. as the outskirts of the city, the decency of the -- was almost taken to the ground. i was taking refugees for the last two days, and i can tell you, it is unbearable. you cannot -- . you had peaceful suburb, destroyed to the ground. people are running away, people are fleeing.

and citizens like kyiv are using their cars to help people getting away from getting injured. we are supposed to be getting people away from the danger. just by hitting russian planes while they are taking these cities. >> given that russia has violated a number of its cease-fire agreements, what do you say to ukrainians who don't know if they should hunker down or flee if of evacuation -- was announced? >> it is very cruel thing to say, but we do not believe in -- . right now. it is super risky, and we do understand that russia will most likely not grant the immigration as promised. look at the city of mariupol, where the cease-fire was violated three times. you can imagine people, women and children, who were done

under the siege for a week. or trying to search for his food and water. are trying to get out. and they're trying to get out with a humanitarian corridor which putin said he would let out, and russian soldiers just start firing at them. this is why the boy died yesterday of dehydration in the city. this can't happen. this century where the center of europe, children are dying of dehydration. this is just impossible! >> it's horrific! and kyra, i have to ask, tuesday was international was women's day. and you said, on twitter, this year you're not only carrying flowers, but guns. -- you've talked about have to be trained to use a firearm. tell me about the women of ukraine who are joining the fight to help against the russian invasion? >> so now, only officially we

have 15% of the ukrainian army that are female. so, this is a pretty good number. and we are super proud of women who are joining the army. the resistance numbers are even higher. because women, even the ones who fled, are turning back and saying that we are going to fight alongside our men. this can be a real miscalculation on russian side, on putin's side. the war is not just with the army, it is with the whole ukrainian nation. including women who are fighting as hard as man. but training to firearms, training to defend the country, and stand up, and bigger amounts of people who are opposing the russian army. >> he rudik, i hope you can save safe. and we thank you so much for joining us. >> glory to ukraine!

>> let's bring in colonel jack jacobs, an nbc internal analyst. thank you for joining us. an annual congressional hearing, of worldwide threats. -- despite his setbacks with this invasion, vladimir putin is still likely to escalate the conflict in the coming weeks. how far do you think putin is willing to take his attacks? how far can you take them? >> i think he's going to go as far as he possibly can to take the country's initial idea. which is that he'll be able to roll in is ali over his main supply routes. using trucks and tanks. ukrainians would give up, and in no time with almost no shots fired, he'd be able to take over the country. but as an indication, as a result, he has escalated the violence. because he had no planned other than -- his plan b turns out to be

flying war missiles versatile -- surface to surface and a lot of artillery. which unfortunately, has resulted in enormous number of casualties. most of them civilian casualties. and that number is likely to increase as the russian forces get closer. lay siege to them, and ultimately take them over. the other thing that putin's forces are aiming to do is cut the country in half. forces from the north meaning forces coming up from the south, to isolate the ukrainian army that is in the east. and that is his only plan. his only plan is to take over the entire country. most observers agree that nothing is going to stand in his way, including the sanctions that he will persist until he is taken over the entire country. then his part of rooms will begin, mehdi. mehdi

a lot of people have been saying that the sanctions on russia i've been too little, too late. and even now, we have not imposed all the sanctions that we had. like shell oil, for example. for example.

and they're still wrapped up, and focused on the economic impact of squeezing russia economically. so there is lots more economically that can be done, but it doesn't look like we're gonna have -- doing it from our allies. mehdi. >> and as you are speaking there, the ap is reporting that there is been a lot put out around kyiv asking residents to go into bomb shelters. it's a morning in kyiv right now, so this is pretty alarming for residents of the capital of ukraine. which is being described as a fortress. you have civilian volunteers, you have people defending the capitol, and now you have these alerts around getting into bomb shelters. again, reminding us of what's going on in the skies in terms

of russian bombing. >> well, it's interesting that the russians, they're interested in operating at night. and as a result, the attacks, the artillery fire, the militias sole attacks, typically won't take place during daylight hours. so that the ukrainians attack convoys. and attack russians at night. which is one of the reasons why it's been subject for the russians continuing to move on the supply roads. the other thing that is keeping russians at bay at the moment, is a fact that it is the mud season. so it is extremely difficult time -- it's tough for the russians to secure the flanks of their convoys, because they get mired down. the russians are relying, almost exclusively, on indirect fire. and will probably continue to do so. and we all know, as accurate as it is, it is indiscriminate, at the end of the day since we

know that the russians are firing, indiscriminately at cities. in an attempt to delay siege. and to kill as many occupants as possible. as that is this is, now, it is likely to get much worse, mehdi. >> yeah, and you have reports from u.s. intelligence estimating the death toll among russian troops to be as high as 4000. which would be the higher then the number of americans killed in the 20-year war of f ghana stan. an interesting statistics. does that surprise you of that statistic? colonel jacobs? >> not in the resistance of the ukrainians, there is something else to keep in mind. the russians were in afghanistan for ten years, and lost 15,000 people. if they've lost four or 5000 now, they've only been there for three weeks. betty. >> it's crazy, the numbers are crazy if they're true. colonel jacobs, we will leave it there. thank you for your analysis. we appreciate it.

on the hungarian, ukraine border. i'm keeping my voice lower because people are sleeping. this is not a place where a lot of people are living, but we now know that more than 2 million people have crossed over from the ukrainian border. about 200,000 of them are here at hungry. people have been, generally speaking, coming into this refugee welcoming center all day. it's a little quiet right now, but that doesn't mean that they're not there. just over the border, we were told by some soldiers, there is a line that is 12 hours long. that has people waiting to get into hungry. it's women, it's children, and it's the elderly.

men between 18 and 60 are required to stay in ukraine and fight. meanwhile, today in washington, the leaders of america's intelligence community testified on capitol hill, giving their latest assessment of vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. those officials painted a picture of a russian government that is unsettled. unsettled by the strength of the ukrainian resistance. unsettled by the coordination between western governments, and unsettled by the early failures of russian's own military. >> putin has come into, privately and publicly he -- doesn't believe ukraine's a real country. he was dead wrong about that. we'll countries fight back, and that's with the ukrainians have done, quite heroically over the last 12 days. his military planning in -- on a quick decisive victory. that has not proven to be the case. >> during today's hearings, the head of u.s. cyber command expressed surprise at the lack

of cyberattacks coming from russia. the director of national intelligence testified that she expects russia will find it, quote, especially challenging to hold control of territory, or to install a pro russian regime and ukraine. even though things are so far not going as planned for putin, intelligence officials do not believe that the russian leader will give up anytime soon. the cia director, william burns, who is, himself, a former u.s. ambassador to russia, testify that he believes vladimir putin is angry right now, and likely to, quote, doubled down. trying to grind out of the ukrainian military, with no regard for civilian casualties. vladimir putin may be operating with very little regard for russian casualties as well. the head of defense to -- put a number on the u.s. estimate of russian casualties, saying the u.s. assesses that between 2000 and 4000 russian troops have been killed so far. it's a lower number than the

ukrainians are giving us, but we're not able to confirm either of these numbers. despite rushing losses, the u.s. officials also warned of what they anticipated will be, quote, an ugly next few weeks. that point was underscored after a question from illinois congressman on the siege of kyiv. >> with regard to kyiv, the russians appear to be attempting to cut off food and water to the city. how much food and water -- or how many days, weeks, of food and water to the people of kyiv have, at this point? >> i don't have a specific number four days of supply that the population has, but with supplies being cut off, it will become somewhat desperate in ten days to two weeks. >> wow. >> joining me now, congressman rod not krishnamoorthi the, member of the house intelligence committee.

thank you for joining us. it's remarkable, we've seen 13 days of this. we've seen 2 million people leave ukraine. the international refuse skew committee says it will be upward of 5 million people. that's without starving out the principal city in ukraine, the city of kyiv. what was the most shocking thing that you took from that intelligence briefing today? >> i think, one general said that kyiv can only have about two weeks worth of food and water, that was shocking, because it's a very grim situation. in the face of it, the people of kyiv starting with president zelenskyy on down, have shows such courage in resistance against the invading russians. it's up to us, of course, ali, to make sure that there are corridors open to kyiv, so that

we can supply as much armaments, as well as food and other essential items, so that they can defend themselves and remain where they are. >> congressman, one of the things that was interesting about the hearing today was the testimony -- as colonel vindman said, as bad as things seem through our pictures and discussion of the refugees, the ukrainians are holding out better than anyone expected, including u.s. intelligence. things are still looking possible for them. how do you evaluate this, we've had people say, look, they're performing better than expected, but they can hold out against the russian army? >> i think that is fair to say, the ukrainians have put up a resistance that nobody expected. i think they're over performing all expectations, but at the same time, they need more supplies. they need more intelligence,

they need more armaments. i'm glad that we have provided one billion dollars worth of armaments, just in the last 6 to 7 months. the pace is accelerate to such an extent that there are certain airfields in the eastern part of poland that are diverting cargo flights because they are so full, they're having trouble keeping up with the shipments. we have to continue, with this pace, as long as possible. the ukrainians do have hope of prevailing, maybe sooner than we anticipated, but it's up to us to make sure that they have what it takes to defend themselves. for there is nobody more motivated than the ukrainians to defend their own country, and they're showing that right now. some >> congressman, what do

you think is going to make more of a difference? a conversation i was having earlier about the lethal aid that ukraine wants, either the no-fly zone or this airplane exchange that seems to have come unglued with poland, -- it's a more than 12 billion package that we're looking at, maybe 14 billion dollar package that the house is looking at passing? >> i think all of the above. there are other ways as well to provide the ukrainians with the ability to defend their skies. aside from planes, i think all options are on the table right now. i think, more than anything, we have to keep ratcheting up those sanctions, ali. the president has done a masterful job and assembling an international coalition that is united in that regard. as you know, we upped the game even more with regard to

sanctions, and banning the importation of russian petroleum and the uk file load suit, soon thereafter. i think that is also going to put the squeeze on. i think that something that president zelenskyy told us during the zoom call, last weekend, to members of -- both, shipping those armaments in, the supplies, and increasing the pain of the sanctions, i think is an essential 12 punch, with regards of helping the ukrainians right now. >> congressman, thanks for your time. we really appreciate. congressman raja krishnamoorthi, a member of the house intelligence committee. coming up next, we're going to live to kyiv, where just after 4:30 in the morning. the city remains under attack by russian forces. i'll talk to a woman who sheltering with her women and parents, as her husband defends the country. stay with us. it kills 99% of plaque bacteria

for right now. show up, however you can, for the foster kids who need it most— at helpfosterchildren.com commissioner for refugees announced today that more than two pavilion people have left you cage -- hundreds of thousands of ukrainians still trying to make their ways outside of the country as a fighting intensifies. so far, more than 190,000 across the border to hungary. tonight, i'm standing at a refugee shelter, a border crossing point in hungary. it is just about 4 am here. most people are sleeping. but i was able to write through a reception area where people from across the border, including families in the young children, could go across the border. . take a look. >> this is the buffet, the

place where people who are staying here to come over from ukraine have food. there is an office where they were and there -- we see some people going in their, they get registered, their needs are determined even on the wall of the buffet here you can see train lines, there are routes that indicate where we are and where you can go in hungary or in europe. now, when the refugees get here there is a waiting room over here. and i don't really want to go in right now because it's quite late at night and there's some people sleeping in there, but it's a warm space in which people can rest. there are beds, twin beds, that are in there. there are some people who are lying across several chairs that have been put together. and then, over here, are sort of containers that have been made into sleeping spaces. these are places where people can rest. it's clean, it's warm. it's a very cold night. it's about 26, 27 degrees right now, probably even colder over the night. so that's why this reception

center is here. it's a health center, it's a recession center. it's not built for people to be staying here for a length of time. but it is meant to receive people who are coming over the hungarian border from ukraine, who then are going to go somewhere else. in some cases it's budapest, in other cases it's other points in eastern and western europe. but this is typical of the help centers that are available at the crossing from ukraine over into countries, either nato countries like hungary or other eastern european countries that are not nato, but are refuges for ukrainians that need to get out of the country. this is not a natural disaster. none of this needs to be happening. it's a tragedy whose purpose is hard to process. that human beings still cause each other this kind of suffering in 2022. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you again tomorrow. >> tonight, a new twist in the effort to ramp up ukraine's air power in the fight against russia. poland surprises the pentagon with fighter jets, as our intel
