hello everyone, i'm mehdi hassan. it's 10 pm here in new york. at 4 am in ukraine. here is the latest. in just a few hours there will be negotiations between ukraine and russia. the state border guard service of ukraine says both sides will begin talks at 4:30 am eastern time. this comes after a deadly day

of attacks. ukraine says at least 35 people were killed with missiles in a military polish border. 135 people or injured in that airstrike. in the meantime, the red cross is warning of a worst case scenario for a hundreds and thousands of ukraine. the satellite images show the destructions on the ground. the residents entered a week of assault by russian forces. it is city council that has said today that 20 to hundreds of its residents have been killed. tonight, we are also learning about the death of an american journalist in ukraine. the state department confirms an attack filmed maker killed him in -- they say that the ukrainian was working on a film that focused on the global refugee crisis. his friend, fellow american journalist survived the attack. >> we are going to film other refugees leaving. and we got into a car. somebody offered to take us to

the other bridge. once we crossed a checkpoint, they started shooting at us. so, the driver turned around and they kept shooting. at least two of us, my friend, and his friend was shot from behind. >> in a new video statement, ukrainian president, vladimir zelenskyy said that this was, quote, a purse fistful attack of the russian military. and they knew what they were doing. earlier, zelenskyy visited with ukrainian soldiers and awarded them medals at the hospital in an undisclosed location. it comes as ukrainians brace themselves most likely to be a brutal assault on the ukrainian capital. in the meantime, the u.s. officials confirmed to nbc news that the government has reason to believe that russia has asked china for military equipments and other support. the officials declined to elaborate on whether china agreed to the requests. more on that in a moment. but, we begin tonight in lviv. ukraine, msnbc correspondent is on the ground. cal, i want to start by asking you about these new

negotiations between ukraine and russia happening in just a few hours. what can we expect? what should we expect? yes, so the strangest thing about these negotiations that will start six hours ago. we are actually hearing some optimism from both sides. and this is the first optimism that we have heard since the war began. the ukrainian team is saying that for the first time over the weekend that the russian team was, quote, speaking constructively about issues. you'll remember that we had a meeting with the force ministers in turkey last week. that meeting failed. there was nothing agreed on. even the ukrainian foreign minister said that his counterpart, the russian foreign minister, did not have any power. he thought that he was powerless in the negotiations. and that only putin could speak on the negotiations themselves. but there was this optimism that the russian demands have been -- that the ukraine should surrender. they should give up the rights to nato. they recognize that those provinces are there is in the east. it will be interesting what comes off the table, what

remains on the table, and if they could come to an agreement. and >> and, calwood have you learned on the military base? >> yes. this is something that we saw two days in a row. air feels to the west of where i am between me and the polish border with nato, as you said, only 50 miles from that border. at least 34 people killed. another and hundred and 30 wounded. i can tell you also now, we now understand that russian tv is reporting that a number of foreign fighters were killed. so that is the way the russian government is presenting it to the people in russia. that this was a place where fighters were based. it is a place where nato had been training ukrainian forces. that is true. in the past years, the u.s. trainers have been training ukrainian forces on the ground there. but look. american forces have left, it was not clear what was on that site. we do know that the russians accused the western part of this country as being a part of a resupply mission. they say that they will continue to hit sites like this one. >> funny to hear russia talk

about foreign fighters at the same time as we're getting reporting that they want to send syrian fighters into ukraine to fight. cal perry, thank you for your time. stay safe. now, to new reporting from nbc news, the u.s. has reason to believe that russia has asked china for military aid and other support following the start of its unprovoked war in ukraine. that, according to three u.s. officials, joining me now from pollen is nbc news josh laden. josh, what more do you know about this requests from the kremlin to the chinese? >> well, many, we know that this request came after russia began its invasion of ukraine just a few short weeks ago. as you mentioned, we don't know exactly what kind of equipment the russians are asking for. whether it included for example, lethal weaponry. we also don't know whether the chinese agreed to it or if the u.s. knows how the chinese responded to that request. but just the mere fact that russia, a few weeks into an

invasion with all of its military might, would be looking for help from an ally speaks to some of the military challenges that russia has been facing in this campaign. now, the russian embassy washington has not gotten back to me about this new reporting. but i did hear from the spokesman for's embassy in the u.s. said that he had never heard about this. and he said that china has supported de-escalation. they want everyone to exercise the utmost respect for what they are calling a massive humanitarian catastrophe. but, we know that the u.s. has been very concerned about what role china has played in this. we have seen this display of unity between russia and china, including this joint communication that they put out around the time of the olympics where china was warning china about nato's expansion to eastern europe. and there are also concerns, not only about china helping russia militarily but also

helping it to absorb the blow of the sanctions that the u.s. and the west have been slapping on russia we. -- he commented on this earlier today. this is what he had to say. >> it is clear not just to beijing but to every country in the world that if they think that they can basically bill russia out, they can give russia a workaround to the sanctions that we impose, they should have nothing coming. because we will ensure that neither china nor anyone else can compensate russia for these losses. in terms of the specific needs of doing that, again, i am not going to lay all of that out in public. but we will communicate that privately to china as we have already done. and we will continue to do so. >> jake sullivan, now heading to rome where he is expected to meet tomorrow with a senior chinese diplomat to discuss those very concerns, mehdi,

that the u.s. tried to make sure that china understands the isolations it could face if it's seen as helping russia in its endeavors in ukraine. >> yes. all of this conflict needed with the chinese involvement to. josh, thank you for your reporting. appreciate it. my next guest was ambassador to ukraine from 2003 to 2006, john herbs is not director of the atlantic council. ambassador, thank you for joining me on the show tonight. what do you make of this reporting to nbc news that just confirmed that russia has just asked china for military equipment and other support? >> your correspondent got it right. this is a bad sign about preparation for the russian military. only 18 days into this major operation. it is also posting a dilemma for the chinese. the un communicated that the two issues weeks ago seem to be strong chinese support for russia's new invasion. but, it is also true that the

chinese, as much as the russians have been appalled by the slow progress. and the brutality of the russian invasion. so, the chinese have to think clearly and precisely about whether they want to be further associated with this. the answer will be no. it will be a further embarrassment to mr. putin. >> ambassador, just a few hours ago, president zelenskyy called for a no-fly zone. i know you signed a open letter suggesting there should be a-limited no-fly zone over a part of the country. this morning on abc news, john kirby said that it is a nice word. but it's really a comeback zone. and the ruling it out. because that involves shooting down russian aircrafts and having an american aircraft maybe be shot down. that's undeniable, is it not? >> it is. at least partly deniable. although, the no fly zone that we proposed would not involve any preliminary attacks by the united states on russian aircraft or russian anti

aircraft installations. we are trying to say that we are going to protect humanitarian convoys and the people escaping from worsens. in fact, it will all be on the russians. do they want to attack those vulnerable assets in the face of the military power? do they want to attack u.s. planes? i think the answer is probably not. they have their hands filled with the ukrainians. why would they want to be in an air shooting war with nato? and, one thing is certain about not providing this no fly arizona, it would be the deaths and thousands of 10,000 ukrainian civilians. that is something the pentagon does not want to address. >> but, isn't the problem, ambassador, you're right to say that your version of the plan would involve the russians evasion furs. but all be slightly in playground. we want to avoid getting into a shooting war with russia. we want to avoid world war iii here. >> we really want to avoid the

issue with russia. we want to avoid the suiting that of tens of thousands of innocent ukrainians. so let's put those two things on the scale. is putin crazy enough to want a conventional war with nato which he will use in a major way? then the second question is will putin then threaten a new color escalation? and i have no doubt he will threaten a new color escalation. because he threatens a new color escalation at a drop of ahead. but doesn't he know that that's hesitation -- dangerous for him as it is for us? >> it is as dangerous for them as to this for us. but i think the worry is, assuming that vladimir putin carries at some point. ambassador john herbst, thank you for your time. coming up next, congressman on what more the united states can do to aid in ukraine's fight against russia. and what about that no-fly zone that i just discussed with former ambassador herb?

ukraine's president called again for today. here's a member of ukraine's parliament ling out why the ukrainians needs more help from the west. >> the west wants to think that this is the war of russia against ukraine. but this is actually the war of russia against all of the civilized west and they have already started talking in russia propaganda that the next country after ukraine will be falling. they are openly discussion -- discussing this on russian television. sian television we hit the bike trails every weekend shinges doesn't care. i grow all my own vegetables shingles doesn't care. we've still got the best moves you've ever seen good for you, but shingles doesn't care. because 1 in 3 people will get shingles, you need protection. but, no matter how healthy you feel, your immune system declines as you age increasing your risk for getting shingles.

he is the aggressor. putin must pay the price. >> -- with the russians were of choice now stretching two weeks-long campaign, the white house are searching for any sense of off-ramp to get them to pull out of ukraine. reporter from the new york times tonight, interstates accurately predicted the side of the war in ukraine. sounding the alarm that invasion is eminent despite moscow's denials. how am i and will prove difficult, even with ukrainians begging from our offensive weapons and american intervention.

president biden success but then showed that he will not engage with nuclear superpower. so it should be the united states next move? jennings me, now texas congressman joaquin castro. congressman, thanks for coming. on a silver asking you about what we just heard in the a block of the show, from former ambassador john harvest. says there is a possibility of a-limited no-fly zone. where do you stand on this issue? >> it's very dangerous. you're not talking about a situation like libya or syria. you're talking about a country that has 6000 nuclear weapons. nuclear warheads. so it's a very different situation. and also, we are talking about a shooting down of rushing jets. at that, point the united states will be in direct war with russia. so, all the decades that we've spent during the cold war where

people were getting under bomb shelters, are getting under dusts and schools, are going to bomb shelters and spiked this. it essentially have that conflict upon us now, are gonna have that conflict upon us. i'm not surprised that ukraine is asking for every single thing. and we've passed just recently, about 14 billion dollars in military aid and humanitarian aid. we are starving the russian economy. our businesses are pulling on russia, so russian economies as well. the united states on the biden administration are doing a lot, and michigan need to look for other ways to help. but i don't think that a no-fly zone would rescuing down russian blames is the most important thing. >>. so, state department not price was on msnbc, i will listen. >> president putin as an

option. he can continue to face stiff resistance in ukraine. he can continue to face unheard of opposition. nazi can continue to face these consequential economic measures. he can choose the path of genuine diplomacy. he can choose the path of genuine de-escalation. and he'll be met on the other end of the table by ukrainian partners. and we'll be standing with them in the. >> in a few hours time, russians and ukrainians will meet for negotiations, 4:30 am eastern. are you optimistic that that could be genuine diplomacy? or the start of a? >> my whole is that at some point, very soon, the russian will engage in genuine diplomacy travesties fighter saw this invasion in this war. the problem that we have with vladimir putin on the russians

is that they obviously have been very duplicitous, and it's hard to trust anything they say. but as i mentioned earlier, we have been supporting them militarily. the world is starving the russian economy right now. and they're basically on an island by themselves. and that's why they desperately reaching out to china, and over the count to try to get help. note also be important for china to help. because they will take a clear side with russia. they also be ostracized and risk sanctions of their own. but, either they will come to their table in earnest, and vladimir putin will solve this war. >> congressman, you mentioned ostracizing him sanctions. it has been unprecedented to see the way that russia's been cut off on the global economy, from the financial system. cultural boycotts. and yet, there is this reporting about the chinese being asked for help. and the chinese were to get involved, militarily, financially, you can sanction

or isolate china on the same way you counteract a? it would be a whole different ball game. >> we certainly would be in a different ball game. and section china's more difficult because the chinese economy is marta tine two of the world on the russian economy is. but, look, look at your did with russia. there are some countries that more than 50% of their energy resources and europe coming from russia. china has an aggressive initiative that's been underway for a few years now. it would hit a brick wall if they decided to go that route. >> congressman, last question. you and i have talked about immigration, refugee, border situation. is it weird that we have a united states government saying, we need to support ukraine rvs, and the, sometime this administration title 42 on asylum border, blocking asylum

seekers from coming into the country there. >> yeah, when you down title 42. i support taking and ukrainian refugees. but, again, this is something that i've said for several years, which is, and the american mind, i think our concept of a refugee is still stuck in the 19 50s or 60s. if we still think the refugees as people who are fleeing an active dictator of war, don't get me wrong, we'll certainly do qualify as refugees. but, there are other people around the world who are also experiencing very dangerous disasters situations that are in a kind of slow burn, and not an active war. and we have to recognize their humanity as well. an exit those refugees as well. >> congressman joaquin castro, thank you for taking the time, i appreciate it. >> thanks. >> next, our breaking news tonight, a new meeting between the ukrainians and the russians

is just hours away. we look at the diplomatic efforts to china and russia's aggression. and, the growing a monetary crisis on ukraine's borders. its neighbors are asking for elbows more than 2 million refugees flood into their countries. also, ukrainian civilians bracing for another long week of russian attacks. sky news is nick martin has the story from the historic city of odessa. -- >> behind me is the famous opera allison on the. so the last time it was protected like this was the second world war. history really is repeating itself. >> on the streets, remain an elderly couple, i want to know they think about russia's chances. >> odessa, no go to the russian army. no go. only back in russia. back in russia.

citizens are seeking refuge in poland. many have now have no place to lay their heads at night. this has prompted people to open up their homes. our msnbc correspondent reports from poland. >> tonight, emotional at the border. families safe from war but exhausted and worried. >> [interpreter] my husband was so afraid for us. she forced us to. leave [end of translation] >> more than 1.6 refugees have enough blood to pull. in warsaw enough their big cities are overwhelmed. at this temporary shelter on border, refugees only stay a night or two. volunteers matching them with the host family or a ride to another city or country. natalia christina and her family are headed to spain to stay with her daughter. >> are you worried about finding a place to sleep until you are able to go to spain? >> [interpreter] we are not worried, she tells me. we are just happy no bombs are

falling. [end of translation] >> the un says 304,000 refugees have not moved on to other european countries. 109,000 in germany were volunteers greek refugees at the train station in berlin to help them find a place in the home. 35,000 in italy, where a woman fleeing the war was killed earlier today when a bus carrying refugees injured her. but the vast majority are staying in poland. just five miles from the border, the small polish village of 500 have taken in 80 ukrainian families. like 17 year old, and his family. they fled kharkiv nearly a week ago. >> we've crossed the border. there was a very big line. we waited for one day, i guess. >> for a day? >> maybe even more. because it was a very, very big line. there were thousands of people. >> retired couple offered their

homes after seeing the thousands of families with nowhere to go. >> [interpreter] when i see the mothers of the little children, it breaks my heart, he says. he and his wife are telling me that they are worried poland could be next. [end of translation] >> you're afraid that russia could attack pollen? >> [interpreter] we feel very threatened, she says. i think about it every day. [end of translation] >> in a few hours, russia and ukraine will meet for negotiations. this is the fourth round of talks between the two countries since putin's inpatient begin. in a call with french and germany this weekend, putin gave no indication he would stop the war. that according to a french official who witnessed the composition. french president also discussed the crisis earlier today with president biden. joining me now to discuss what could come of these negotiations is catherine's donor, she's us -- and she is the author of russia

resurrected, its power and purpose in a new global order. congresswoman, thank you -- excuse me, thank you for joining me. congresswoman jackie spears says diplomacy will work on putin on one condition. take a look at with the congresswoman said today. >> we've got to craft a win for putin which is disgusting to have to even say that. but for this work to come to an end that is what we have to give him. some sort of think that he can take home and say that i am victorious. >> do we have to give putin a victory as the congresswoman put it whether we like it or not? >> well, it depends on what our perception is for the future of ukraine in particular, right? the whole point of this war is really a good question for ukrainian sovereignty. if mr. putin doesn't absorb ukraine which appears to be the

gold then what is a face saving victory short of that? and i think that is quite problematic. one thing a lot of people have talked about and seems to be something that's debatable or negotiated right now it, is whether or not ukrainian would give up any aspiration to join nato. it wasn't enough before this war started but maybe it would be helpful now. i think there may be some other things that putin would want. and probably, in the ukrainian position, given their losses they may have switched as well. >> there was this furious debate including here in the u.s. and the u.s. media about prior to the war. about whether the nato expansion, the whole debate whether ukraine should stay neutral would be allowed to join nato in the future. was there a factor in putin's invasion? many people pointed out, no there's not.

look at what vladimir putin icing. he is saying that he doesn't even accept ukraine's independence. but you seem to be suggesting that it could be a factor in resolving this in giving putin some kind of win for himself that he could take back and say, see, see i stop them from joining nato. >> let me clarify. i don't think that this is actually really about ukraine joining nato. it's about ukraine being drawn more into a west because it's a sovereign country that wants to modernize and have its people live better with the success of governments in ukraine. they have wanted to join the european union. and the north atlantic treaty organization or nato. so now we can see why that might be, right? because clearly mr. putin, as he's told us again and again. doesn't recognize russia as a sovereign state. we he has his existent separate from russia. but the problem is 44 million ukrainians strongly disagree with that. and in the 21st century we live

not by the rules of the 19th century, nor the 18th century. where you could just sees someone else's country and absorb it. so, would that be enough of a win? given his rhetoric, maybe that would be helpful but i think there would probably be more than that. because remember there is these regions in eastern ukraine that mr. putin has recognized on russia's behalf as all front or independent from ukraine so the next question is what happens with them. no one else really in the world recognizes those as independent countries besides our friends in belarus. sarcastically, not obviously. we but he is another dictator we. so that is another issue. and then we think about war reparations. a lot of damage has been done. how are ukrainians going to struck that off? who is going to pay for that?

peacekeepers is another issue. >> that is a very good point about what would happen post if the world and. there's still a lot of issues to resolve. what is your expectations for the coming meeting between russian and ukrainian diplomats, and in just a few hours cal perry suggested earlier in the show that there is an optimistic rhetoric from both sides for one yeah, that's interesting. we're seeing it on twitter, and wendy sherman the deputy secretary of state from the united states indicated today that there was some kind of hopeful movement. i hope that's true. and, it is going to be politically tricky for mr. zelenskyy because he can give and maybe on some things, but not others. so, for example, perhaps, saying okay, will drive the demand to join nato. but, we won't demilitarize. well, if he said that they would demilitarize, and i think there are a lot of the

ukrainians who would say, no, they killed my family, are they killed my father, my child died. they are not going to go along with that. we have to be a careful to see what mr. zelenskyy could actually pull, off politically. because the ukrainians, as i said, their interests have changed, and experience i was worn on them. >> the craziest part of this whole wars that if vladimir putin really didn't want ukraine to join nato, invading was probably the worst thing you get along for the argument. because as you point, thought it was madness to have them not join. >> right. >> catherine, thank you for your analysis, we'll leave it there, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> after the break, my conversation with a one of the nobel peace prize, she sponsor career trying to read her world of nuclear weapons. well she has to say about the new nuclear threat from russia. and, inside ukraine, thousands are still struggling to escape the violence. here is sky news as alex

your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire leah last month, vladimir putin

ordered his country's nuclear forces to be on higher alert. some leaders say putin was blowing, including president zelenskyy of ukraine. and now the war hasn't intensified, and so isis threats to u.s. nuclear fights. putin has become backed into a corner, with dwindling options for military success in ukraine. so, how might he decide to say face? and if we escalator

intervention, will he lash out? with nukes? earlier i spoke with beatrice fin, and won the nobel peace prize in 2017. >> beatrice, thanks for joining me on the show. how worried are you that given the conflict in ukraine, and given vladimir putin's nuclear forces on high alert on the very beginning of this conflict, the world may now be closer to a nuclear exchange than ever before in our lifetimes? >> i'm really worried. it's a dangerous. a confrontation that we haven't seen since the cuban missile crisis. it's extremely wearing not just because we see russia threatening to use nuclear weapons in case of anyone interfering with this one ukraine but also because it hinders us from helping in ukraine. they're making us paralyzed and making us watch.

and the consequence of any weapons used not just catastrophic with where it happens, but also for the whole world. it's really a lot of fear around the world's and anxiety about this. and it's very rio. >> do you think people, especially younger people in the west, whose only real experience of observing wars in recent decades has been the u.s. taking out small, weaker nations like afghanistan, iraq, libya. do you think they understand what i'm east escalate, by a no-fly zone, against a former superpower, which still has low largest nuclear weapons stockpile on the pop? >> this is fitting, we see nuclear weapons are being used not and how people -- it's really to blackmail the whole world. and we're seeing that putin as using it to get everyone to stay out. meaning that we have to watch

these events unfold. a triggers this incredibly difficult question for us. for example, how much are we prepared to watch ukrainian suffer before we dare to intervene? and of course, these ideas of no fly zones. i mean, i want to protect ukrainians right now. i feel frustrated watching this unfold, terrified of the consequences for the ukrainians. but the fact that also the west has importance, means that the stakes are so high, we should risk war. and it would be for nothing. a >> and you mentioned blackmail, which is a good word. on the one hand, or seven in ukraine as a reminder of the dangers or nuclear weapons, how easy it is for one, mom vladimir putin, the blackmail us to possibly and life on planet earth. but on the other, hand is not also an incentive to smaller countries like iran or ukraine to get nuclear weapons in the future to protect themselves from the bigger nuclear armed powers like russia or like the

u.s.? >> it depends on how we respond to this crisis. if we continue to legitimize nuclear weapons and behave like this is rational behavior and totally fine for alvarez to do, then we're going to encourage proliferation. and for selected to survive this, we will see it again, and again, and again, and every time we get to close a nuclear war. there's also masovian a gangster. even in the un general assembly, we saw countries with nuclear weapons condemned these threats from russia to use these nuclear weapons. recognizing that this is not sustainable. we can't keep doing, this and well on your corpse of this power and exist, we also leave the power than the vigils. like he was going to do this next time? yes, and one last question to you on the issue. you are pushing the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear

weapons. with more than 60 states abrupt fide this issue. is it a fantasy to talk about total nuclear disarmament? given the state of the world today, how was a utopia without weapons on nuclear free world? >> i am convinced that we will see. that the question is are we going to do it before or after we see nuclear weapon uses again? there is really no options. are we comfortable in allowing people like putin, like kim jong-un and also trump -- we were super worried about trump last year with the nuclear weapons in his last face. how longer are we going to keep doing this? so really, we have options. the prohibition of nuclear weapons is what bans this type of behavior that putin is doing right now. and i think that is the future. we can choose to do it now or after nuclear weapons have been used. and i know which one i would prefer. >> yes, i know which one i'd prefer to. and i'm glad you are reminding
