and good day, everyone. this is a special edition of "andrea mitchell reports." we're in brussels with ukrainian president zelenskyy is going to push world leaders to take part to do more to help his military forces. he's going to appear virtually and call on them to help him repel the russian onslaught, do more. president biden son his way to belgian at this hour, landing here tonight. belgian time, preparing to join

with other allies in announcing more economic sanctions against russia but holding firm in opposing president zelenskyy's call for a no-fly zone or entry to nato. >> what would you like the say to european partners? >> i'm going to say that to their face. i'm going to say it when i get there. >>. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i have think it's a real threat. >> moments after the warning about chemical weapons, i pressed nato's secretary general about the risk of a chemical attack against ukraine. >> if chemical weapons are used in ukraine, how would it be morally acceptable for nato to ignore president zelenskyy's plea for a nato admission? >> i expect when leaders meet tomorrow, we'll address how to further strengthen support to ukraine. nato membership is not on the agenda.

but support to ukraine is on the top of our agenda. >> president zelenskyy continuing his global outreach ahead of his speech tomorrow. addressing japan's parliament today, as well as the french assembly. he says he's concerned about the safety of nuclear power plants and the stress for help in rebuilding after the devastating attacks. they're responding to overnight strikes against residential buildings and areas. we'll bring you an update on the second day of question for judge scutauchgy brown jackson at her historic conformation for the supreme court. richard, we saw reports of heavy fire fights in nearby suburbs. what's the latest from there? >> reporter: so, i got to brief earlier today from two of the city's top security officials.

one is effectively the deputy mayor. his title is the head of the civilian military counsel and the other is his police advisor. and he showed me an interactive map they are using and how they can track the movements of russian troops, track the movement of ukrainian forces and they were quite confident. he showed me russian troops are actually around kyiv in retreat in some areas. there are two large pockits of the city or around the city held by russian forces. one to the northwest. the other to the east/northeast. and in both areas, over the last 24 hours and last 48 hours but 24 in particular, ukrainian troops have been able to take back significant churngs of territory. so much so that the map, this interactive map, time-sensitive

map, which changes as the battle flow, turning from red when russian forces are in control, to blue when ukrainian forces liberate territory. they have never seen the map turning as blue as it is right now. and that is leaving them very encouraged. so much so that they believe this city is no longer in imminent threat of being encircled. they believe russia doesn't have the fire power to encircle the city with the amount of troops it has at the moment. and as weefr speaking, it's probably too faint to hear on camera. there are more explosions in the distance to the north of here. right around those areas where the -- those shrinking pockets of russian troops, including the suburb of ear peen. it was the sight of the terrible tragedy when families were leaving the subis rb and one

family was hit by an incoming russian fire. and caught on camera. now about 75% of european has been taken back by ukrainian troops. >> let me ask you very briefly, richard. so, if they are managing to hold them off in kyiv, yet in the south, the russians have made advances and there's the tragedy of mariupol. that siege continues, right? >> reporter: very much so. so, if you look at the battle map and you might be able to hear some of the small gunfire now. there's consistent gunfire and then with the occasional explosion, there was another one. it might be too faint to pick up on. so, these are the active battles

north of kyiv. adown unmariupol, the very, very different picture. it is almost completely taken over by russian forces with just the city of mariupol holding out to a degree,all thoe, the amount of resistance -- well, it's not enough necessarily to hold the city but to cause pain and problems for the it russian forces trying to take it over. according to president zelenskyy, about 100,000 people remain in that city and remain there under attack without food, without water and with great difficulty of getting out. they are only able to get out through these humanitarian corridors which have often and

been often been bombed. >> thank you very much for all of that and joining me in brussels, chief white house correspondent, kristen welker and chief white house correspondent, kelly o'donnell. great to have my colleagues and pals here. we'll be hearing some good news from kyiv. they're holding them off. but mariupol in the south is a disaster. what the nato secretary general said is we can no longer take peace for granted. that's what he said at the news conference. >> how unsubtle. >> nato has, for 70 years, been the guardrail against war in europe for the most part. and here you have nato standing guard but ukraine falling piece by piece to russia. >> and that's why there's so much pressure on president biden and thenatedo allies to announce something significant when they

hold this emergency meeting. tomorrow we know they're going to announce new sanctions. we know they'll announce new hume an teargen and military aid. how far will they go? based on reporting overnight, we anticipate the president may announce that there will be a permanent increase to u.s. troop levels innato countries. he wants the polish migs and you have the threat of the use of chemical weapons and the president still won't call that a red line. baltic leaders say it needs to be a red line. there needs to be a plan in place in case that hans. >> we saw what happened when president obama did not enforce the red line he had taken in syria when of course russia helped president assad use chemicals against his own people. >> and there's been i i think a perceived hesitation to draw red lines. this could be a coming together

where leaders will be forced to confront what are the parameters. your question posed that and maybe ea it's coming together. physically being together in europe. somewhat closer to where the conflict is. coming together in a place where leaders can look each other in the eye. so much of their meeting will be behind closed doors. they have different vulnerabilities, concerns and they have to come together on a deliverable outcomes. they've already done a number of things prier to this. they have address things that remain big question marks. it's a huge moment for president biden who wanted to bring this gathering together to show that leadership. obviously president macron of france has been very prominent and then you have the countries like poland who have offered to do so much and now have a new set of challenges with the refugee flow and ongoing demands that they will face and there's president zelenskyy himself, who has found a way to motivate and lead his country and then use

all the tools of modern communication to try to galvanize worldwide support. and he'll bow addressing this group as he has done with different -- the u.s. congress, different legislatures around the world and he'll address this group as well and in each case, he's found a way to have a resinant message and be interesting to see what that will be. >> and the issue of refugees. we'll talk to julia ainsley, who's broken news on this front today. europe has put out the welcome mat. no visas for three years, no need for work permits, no covid tests. come on in. and a at the same time, u.s. is making it very difficult, the red tape. they're considering doing something on letting more refugees from ukraine get in. >> president biden has said he wants to welcome the refugees with open arms.

that's not what's happening in part because of title 42, which prevents refugees from coming in because of the covid pandemic. and we do have the sense -- and you're going to talk to julia ainsley, they may be looking to let in some of the more vulnerable ref ulkes and more targeted refugees. there's a real push sfril the u.s. to ease borders even more, even as this continues to be a growing cries, particularly for countries like poland and it's going to be a real focus when he visits poland and speesks to and thanks the polish president for housing millions of refugees who have fled ukraine. >> and you're going to be anchoring at 2:00. i'm going to 2:00 and we'll see you tonight when kelly you're on all of our shows. thank you. you've been flying all night. >> good to be together. >> it's great to be together. and ambassador julian smith

served as the purnlinant representative for nato. thank you so much. ambassador, it's great to see you idpen. earlier today with, secretary general said again that nato's responsibility is to prevent a larger war between nato and russia. understandably. but even if putin were to use chemical or biological weapons in ukraine, would the u.s. not respond in some stronger fashion? would nato have to respond in a stronger fashion if putin uses chemical weapons? >> well, i think you've heard president biden talk about this and the fact these stated there will be severe consequences if russia decided to use chemical weapons. you also heard the secretary general earlier today talk about far-reaching consequences. i think the allies are prepared.

this world is united at terrible moment. and they are prepared for all contingencies. we're insuring the eastern flank is reinforced. we're flying additional pressure to stop the war and we're insuring we're providing the support we can. to the ukrainians. so, the alliance is excited to have this opportunity to come together and continue to send a fourm message to moscow and think about future challenges that they might face collectively. >> is there any sign that vladimir putin is taking diplomacy seriously or going to yield? he's still grinding down especially the tragedy in mariupol, of course, is the most graphic example. >> unfortunately, we don't see any indication that russia is really negotiating in good faith. we've seen efforts.

there are folks sitting at a table. russians and ukrainians sitting down together but we doencht believe this is a serious effort at this juncture to truly work towards a peace agreement. we all want that to happen and we with will continue to apply pressure on russia to incurage them to go and move towards a political settlement. but honestly, right now, it's hard to see russia taking the process seriously. >> do you think, as jake sullivan seemed to be suggesting yesterday, that it's time to reconsider russia being in the g 20? >> well, i'll leave that to the leaders of the g 20 to determine. but i think this raises a broader question about russia's place in the international system. this is a fundamental shift in european security. what's happening in ukraine is really undermining the foundation of transatlantic security and european security

more broadly. so, there are a lot of important questions on the table about how we will deal with russia going forward in sfruktures, forums, institutions pliek the g 20. and i know leaders want to continue discussing that. but right now what we're trying to do is send a firm signal this war needs to stop and if they do not stop this war in ukraine and stop these senseless attacks, devastating attacks on civilians, they will continue to feel the consequences. >> and we heard today from the state department that a u.s. embassy diplomat finally got to see wnba star, brittney griner to check on her condition. can you say anything about her condition? >> i'm not privy to her condition. i really don't have anything to say but of course we welcome any opportunity for officials to engage with her face to face.

as you've heard the state department has been focussed on her case specifically and has urged russia to resbrauvl this and let her come home. i know that's been a priority for the biden administration. particularly for secretary blinken. >> you said the polish proposal for a peace-keeping force is not out of order. wouldn't that involveputing boots on the ukraine, which is what nato ruled out? >> what i was saying earlier today is in essence, we've asked all amis to come to the table with fresh ideas. poland has been bringing some of the ideas into the discussions here. they talked about a possible peace-keeping mission. of course, we want there to be peace to keep and russia to stop the war. right now it's hard to imagine this type of ske nairio e. we have a number of questions

about that particular proposal. i applaud any ally that comes into the nato alliance with fresh thinking and that's why it's so important to have president biden here in person in brussels. not only meeting with nato leaders and actually meeting with the g 7 and eu as well. this is a great opportunity to come together to put some fresh ideas on the table and think about ways that we can stop this war. >> and do you think we'll be able to cut red tape and get riffugees into the united states? europe is opened their arms to them. is there any way to cut the red tape? >> i think all all of the allies are united in their determination to do what they can to support refugees. i'll leave it to my colleagues to comment on any new steps the u.s. might be taking. what's been remarkable here is really to watch all of the

allies come together and offer assistance and as you noted a few minutes ago, it's been absolutely amazing to watch the countries that border ukraine taken literally hundreds of thousands, if not more, refugees and bring them into their homes and find places for them to feel safe. and be protected. in the wake of this horrible war that's happening inside ukraine. so again, in terms of transatlantic unity, we've seen the west come together to sur offer support to the refugees and i sispect we're going to see a lot more refugees stemming into europe in the weeks ahead. >> thank you so much, ambassador. thank you for being with us. ambassador julianne smith from the nato headquarters. and life in a war zone. as nato leaders prepare to meet in brussels. describing what life is like

as russia continues to pedal disinformation about the invasion of ukraine, in kyiv, the city's mayor demanding the truth and updating the press on the civilian death toll in the capitol. >> russians killed 264 civilians. from 264 civilians, was four children. right now 300 people in hospitals is injured and 16 children also injured right now in the hospital. >> and joining me now is former

advisor to president zelenskyy. we met in kyiv last summer and we were just talking about the threat of invasion and now of course, this horrible reality. tell me about the situation in kyiv, where you are, and how your family is. >> it's a sunny day. so, that's always better. i was thinking before have to describe what's going on. to the north of me, 20 kilometers from where i am. a few days ago. a russian soldier stormed into a private house, killed a father in front of his wife and a small toddler. stayed in that house for a day, continuously raped the wife, then left. south of where i am people starving to death.

hundreds if not thousands, i'm talking about mariupol. in the city where you can still buy lobsters and pineapples and supermarkets, we've had over 200 deaths of civilians and we're getting bombed and shot at with shells daily. that's what life is like and the most troubling thing now is realizing there are two versions. the first is where putin wasn't the mass murderer, wasn't kiln civilians and there's a new reality where some people are beginning to realize the evil that we've been living with. let me remind you.

there are still western politicians thinking whether to continue their business with putin, with a mass murderer and they're only starting to wake up now. let me tell you one simple fact. putin has always been a mass murderer. here's for the people of syria. i want to mentioned the people of georgia, chechnia. and i think the west needs wake up to the fact that their life will never be the same again and what people are going through at the moment is our sacrifice and we need all the support we ecan get. that's my summary of what's going on. >> it's just incredible to imagine what you all are going through. we heard a few minutes ago some shelling where richard engel was

in the middle of kyiv. i talked to the nato secretary general in brussels and asked him if russia were to use chemical weapons, nuclear weapons against ukraine, would that change nato's position on president zelenskyy's pleas for admission to nato? and he said his responsibility is to avoid a wider war between nato and russia. and that's the bottom line for nato. how do you feel about that? >> look, we're going to do what we're destined to endure. there's not much we can do about not being able to close our skies if we're not being helped. what i want people to realize is we're going to fight the war regardless. this is what putin calls a collective west. bombs are not yet falling on european cities. it doesn't mean you're not fighting the war already.

western businesses are under major threats on major fronts. broken supply chains. you name it. your societies are being disrupted by the agents of the russian propaganda and we know because we've been there. are we ecan recognize the patterns and i think the biggest mistake everyone's making, they think provoking putin is dangerous. putin provocation is a non[ inaudible ] if he wants to fight and it looks like he wants that war with you, to paint russia as a victim for russian aggression, he will start that war regardless and the best way is to stop him now. the sooner the better. less people will die. unfortunately, there's only so much president zelenskyy or the people of ukraine can do about that. we've learned our lessons. maybe now it's time for the west to learn theirs.

>> thank you so much. it's hard to imagine what you're going through, you and your family. thank you so much and good to see you again, igor. hope we can talk again soon. and coming up, bogged down. russian forces advancing ever so slowly but still advancing. are they going to sna the former head of the u.s. central demand joining us next. you're watching a special edition of "andrea mitchell reports." we're live in brussels. we're live in brussels wait, that's new wait, you're new too nobody told you? subway's refreshing with better ingredients, better footlongs, and better spokespeople. because you gotta you gotta refresh to be fresh this is the planning effect. if rayna's thinking about retirement, she'll get some help from fidelity to envision what's possible. fidelity can help her prioritize her goals

battleground and how significant is what he's announcing in terms of nato bolstering the eastern flank? >> i think it's very important because it reflekts nato's big response to the new dynamic, which is a more threatening russia and moving essentially the front of nato, the main focus of nato and the risk of nato's borders. and very significant is what's happening on the ukrainian battlefield where the ukrainians, by and large, have stopped the russians short of achieving their objectives, although they're still tightening the noose in the south. the ukrainian local counter attacks being conducted outside kyiv are very significant because it's the signs of the ukrainians pushing the russians back, digging them out of

artillery range that can hit downtown kyiv. in a very clear demonstration the russians are not going to achieve what they thought they were going to, at least in the capitol, and even if they're still making progress in the south. and then if you look at the strategic -- the battle of atrition that is going on in the sense between kyiv on the one hand, president zelenskyy and moscow oand putin on the other. president zelenskyy watching, as even though his forces have stopped the russians pretty cold, still destruction of the ukrainian cities and infrastructure and innocent civilian lives continues. and vladimir putin, who is watching as his economy, his financial system, his friends, oligarch buddies are all being seriously damaged. and over 400 u.s. companies have

either seized their operations, left russia or put everything on hold for now. with the knowledge his forces are on the battle field aren't achieving what they're seeking to do, what they were seeking to do, that they have culminated, if you will and a bloody stalemate, but a stalemate nonetheless. perhaps dollar could be an awareness that on each side there should be a willingness to accept a compromise that was something unacceptable to either prior to the beginning of the invasion. >> and this war of atrition and stalemate, can you see putin ever backing down and accepting a compromise, even though we've been reporting his troops are lacking in fuel and food and other supply and don't have night vision goggles and suffering frostbite. >> well, they're experiencing all kinds of difficulties that should not be the case and it

really highlights, frankly, how various elements of the russian military are. reminds us that 20 to 25% of the troops are conscripts who serve one year and the conskripgsz was supposed to end in april and he is extending the tours. you can imagine what that does to morale on those troops and so forth. and you've seen the totally inadequate command control and the campaign design was wildly unrealistic. and reflected a total lack of appreciation for the ukrainian strength, determination, capabilities and so forth. even he has to recognize that this campaign is going to fall short of what it hoped it would achieve. each certainly on each side is still trying to achieve a degree of momentum, perhaps degree of progress on the battle field that could translate into a bit

on the negotiating table that would give them an edge. but my sense is the russians can't replace the enormous number of casualties they've taken. they can't reconstitute units that have basically been rendered combat ineffective. as he sees the ruins of the financial system and the damage to the economy and again, his oligarch friends, there might be a recognition it's time to get what might be achievable. what could be presented as some kind of success, if you will, that was worth all this blood shed. as on the other side president zelenskyy, wisely, submit whatever he's going to agree to with a referendum in-country. perhaps all of this can come together and finally bring about a ceasefire phase withdrawal of

the russian forces, perhaps-introduction of osce peace keepers or observers or something along those lines and bring this terrible blood shed and destruction to an end. >> before leaving the white house, on his way here, the president warned -- president biden warned there's a real threat that putin could use chemical weapons. what should the u.s. do if he uses chemical, biological or -- was discussed at nato today, talking about nuclear weapons? >> i think what the u.s. has done is appropriate and what secretary general has done and that's issue a very significant warning to put them on notice that the results would be very, very severe. it's unwise, i think, to try to get into speculating what severe would mean in a particular case because we don't know what the particular case is. the hypotheticals are too numerous and too complex to try to again craft what it could be.

but there's a whole tool box full of responses that will be put together. i'm very confident that national security advisor, jake sullivan and his team have sketched out what might be possible alternatives to put in front of the president if that comes out. the hope would be this is such a significant threshold that even if he's feeling somewhat cornered, he'll recognize there's more left to lose. because then the consequences could be very grave. butads long as there is something still out there, perhaps if that can be avoided and again perhaps be some kind of negotiations after this terrible tragedy. >> general petraeus, thank you so much. very good to hear your perspexive. thank you. and nato leaders planning to ramp up pressure on russian's

president vladimir putin, for this invasion, this horrible invasion at an emergency summit tomorrow as we've been discussing and discussing removing russia from the g 20 and adding to nato defenses on the eastern flank and sanctions against russia, more sanctions. joining us is the former british prime minister, gordon brown. it's great to see you again. thank you very much for joining us. we've been calling for a special international tribunal to investigate for this invasion. what signal do you think that would send putin and the world? >> i think in addition to the sanctions, military help, travel bans, the support for refugees, we've got to make the clear he cannot act with impunity and that's why many global leaders, presidents, prime ministers, former presidents and prime ministers have backed the call being made by the european government for us to support an

international tribunal that would try president putin and his inner circle for the crime of aggression. i think we've got to make it absolutely clear what's happening is against all international law. targeting of places like schools and breach of humanitarian corridors, breach of ceasefires previously arranged. the threat of using nuclear power stations as blackmail. as my old friend, petraeus has been saying, even the threat of nuclear weapons. just as nuremberg, in the 1940s, with yugoslavia and where war crimes were tried but president putin is committing these crimes and he's got to be brought to justice. there may be an agreement for peace and i would like to see that. but in the meantime, we have to say these are international crimes that deserve the punishment of the war.

>> often times war crimes, tribunals take so many years to prove and reachviction convictions and could something be done more quickly in -- >> that's why we're talking about the crime of aggression. the international crimmal court can try war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. but that takes a huge amount of time and takes proof and evidence . the crime of aggression is the initial crime. it's pretty obvious that is what has happened. it's the incursion into a sovereign state. the continuation of that by attacking cities. it started in 2014 with the invasion of crimea. and so, you could bring together, if a number of states came together to support ukraine and a number of countries are looking at this. you can have an indictment in a couple of months and play.

and so, i think things could move forwrtd. the important thing is to recognize and the world they're not going to know the truth of the matter. and recing uginize as immoral and they're libel for punishment. and be decided to move and to admit their crimes and help prosecute. and i think it's also sending a strong message to those people prosecuting the war that they will not be able to act with impunity. >> you've dealt with vladimir putin before. do you think there's any way to get hymn to back down and compromise and agree to a

ceasefire? >> i've met president putin on many occasions and he did exactbly what he's done in the last few weeks. he said oil and gas, we can sell to the east or west. it's up to you. and it was threatening and he threatens people and i don't think he's changed in that and he believes threat works. the only thing he understands is strength of the allies coming together, which is what's happening at this nato summit and which president biden is at tomorrow. and what he exploits all the time, his weakness. if we are weak, then he will move forward. if we show strength, then wecan push him back. the action taken under the european convention of human rights and then the more simple way is to say this is a crime of aggression. whenever there is aggression, there's going to be a liability for punishment.

the russian people should know and it's really important we get messages in to tell people that what is explaining what he calls an isolated military incident is actually a war against the sovereign people and i want to respond because in the midst of all the suffering, hearts broken. courage has been unbreakable, unity indestructible and we've got to send a message we're doing everything in our power to give them support. >> national security adviser, jake sullivan, says it's time to consider kicking russia out of the g 20. should that be done? >> when i was meeting, russia was removed from the g 8. they ryed to create a g 8 out of the g 7 and journalany and other countries were keen and they wanted russia to be part of the

advanced economies trying to make for a better world. but they had to be kicked out. and equally, their position at the g 20 is i don't think president putin has attended meetings for some time and he is and will be, as long as he's president, a pariah on the international stage. because to take the crime of aggression and pursue this hatred of the ukrainian people, everything we've taken for granted since 1990, the international community works through diplomacy and international institutions. he's turning it completely on its head and we've got to make it clear that's unacceptable in the international community. >> and what should we do if he uses nuclear -- god forbid nuclear but chemical, biological weapons? is there any way to stop -- >> yes, i think you're right. and in general petraeus touched on this. president biden has made it

absolutely clear, as whether the all the -- as will all the nato leaders tomorrow, chemical weapons will require a huge response by the west. president biden said he's going to call for new sanctions and he'll want europe to do more in oil and gas, more on trade. he'll want more to be done to actually make sure that the oligarchs are riley deprived of their wealth and properties. and there's already a suggestion he's usesed vacuum bombs, which are illegal in the conduct of war. nato will have to take further action. >> former u.k. prime minister and a great leader of the u.n. and humanitarian education

efforts around the world, thank you varmuch. >> thank you. >> and we'll have much more from brussels as president bide make his way. and ketanji brown jackson facing a second day of questions. [copy machine printing] ♪ ♪ who would've thought printing... could lead to growing trees. ♪
