hey, everybody. good afternoon. following major developments in russia's war on crown. president biden wheels up any moment from warsaw wrapping up a visit to the region that ended with a major speech by the president. that speech coming almost simultaneously to the series of russian missile attacks on the ukrainian city of lviv. a place not far from the country's border with to land. the timing and the attacks hard

not to see as at least partly a message to the american president with a mess and to vladimir putin about his war. >> notwithstanding the brutality of vladimir putin let there be no doubt that this war is a strategic failure for russia. >> moments before that speech the president taking the stage there explosions rocking that western ukrainian city. right now first responders are fighting to get control of fires believed to be caused by russian missile strikes. we want to go to ali arouzi. we have been hearing multiple explosions and another air raid siren. bring us up to date. >> reporter: hi, yasmin. at about 4:30 local here, there

was a series of loud exploess on the outskirts of lviv followed by plumes of dark smoke which you can see on the screen right now. and we learned after that from the officials here in lviv that it was an oil depot that was hit by two missiles. and the fire started to rage from that pretty quickly. you can't see it behind me right now because it's very dark but you can see the dark smoke rising from there and there's a red glow above it which means the fire the still burning. a couple hours later there were two more missile strikes in a different direction to the south of lviv. and that according to the mayor of lviv hit a defense structure. there have been no fatalities reported but five people reported in the fuel depot strike and the mayor says no

houses were destroyed but the windows of a school nearby may have broken from the reverberations of the shock. lviv is meant to be a safe place. that does seem to be changing somewhat here. these are different to the attacks of a couple weeks ago because it was fairly isolated. at an aircraft repair facility about four miles from the center of the city and this is not a city under attack. this is not surrounded by russian forces. prema which you shall to say that the war is raging in lviv. that is not the case after missile attacks, the air raid siren warning went off. people trying to go home. after that now on air another

air raid siren came back to go back and hide and nothing happened since again but it does shake people up. people fled the east of the country under serious attack. you have seen the destrix and that makes people scared here. there are young mothers with infant children, elderly people who left brothers and husbands behind in the east and when the air raid siren goes on in the hallways of the motel you see the look of anxiety on the people's faces. wondering if lviv will end up like the battered cities in the east. it is a relatively safe place but they'll tell you vladimir putin is capable at anything and could change at a moment's notice. >> let me ask you about

logistics. do those air raid sirens go off upon contact or whether the missiles aren coming? >> reporter: in my experience they have gone off a little bit before. good ten minutes before you hear the explosions. so obviously the ukrainians have intelligence, they have the radar and see something coming and the big strike that would happen at about 4:30 causing the smoke and the fire burning at the depot was an air raid siren good ten minutes before it. you are getting a good warning. that's happened every time the outskirts are hit with warning before they have come in. maybe some -- you hear the sirens and maybe things have been intercepted and you make a

very good point because they are pretty far away. there are no russian troops around lviv. if you hit this city or the outskirts they're using mid or long range missiles or a bomber. that's why you see the ukrainians really fights hard on the eastern front so the russian artillery can't move to the western side of this country. >> all right. my friend, please stay safe. well'll check back with you ahead. thank you want to bring in josh letterman in warsaw, poland, also former ambassador bill taylor. josh, what a powerful speech we heard from president biden. calling vladimir putin a criminal in this speech, a liar

saying in part this. putin has the gall to say he is denazi if iing ukraine. it is a lie and on scene. talking about if russian forces move into nato territory. we have a sacred obligation to defend every inch of nato territory with the full force of the collective power and ending on this note which is getting a lot of play online. for god's sakes, this man cannot remain in power. walk us through some of your highlights and the walk back we're hearing from the white house with the final moment from the president's speech. >> reporter: yeah. that last moment catching people off guard and raising questions whether there's been a change in u.s. policy, whether removing president vladimir putin from office is now the formal u.s.

position. it is not. a white house official clarifying that president biden was talking about his disdain for the actions of president putin and the leadership cannot be tolerated in the 21st century and not suggesting that regime change is the policy of the u.s. government. the president's anger and true disgust for what president putin has done in the last month clearly came through in this speech which also had elements of a pep talk as this war is entering the second month. president biden trying to make it clear that the steps are working. he said the russian economy is in shambles. the ruble is like rubble. they have a brain drain from russia and the steps to take militarily to try to help the ukrainians have been fruitful in enabling them to put up much

stronger resistance than anticipated and also elements at the nato allys. here in poland and elsewhere so concerned about the security president biden making clear once again right here on nato soil that all of that territory will be defended but most importantly perhaps president biden had messages for putin and the russian people. >> don't even think about moving on one single inch of nato territory. we have sacred obligation -- [ applause ] we have a sacred obligation under article v to defend each and every inch of nato territory with full force of the collective power. vladimir putin aggression have cut you the russian people from the rest of the world and it's taking russia back to the 19th

century. this is not who you are. this is not future you deserve for your families and children. i'm telling you the truth. this war is not worthy of you the russian people. >> reporter: and yasmin, president biden just left on the way back to washington where in a way the hard work really now starts because while president biden able to use this speech to lay out the stakes for the american people and for world citizens and why this fight is bigger than ukraine there is so much work ahead with the new task force just announced to try to wean europe off russian energy and trying to turn up the pressure of sanctions and 100,000 ukrainian refugees that biden is pledging the united states will accept. president biden will have to figure out ways to make that happen and figure out what

additional military assistance the world is willing to prepare ukraine for even as president zelenskyy's government is calling for a no-fly zone and no indications the u.s. is willing to enact. yasmin? >> stand by. i want to play the moment i mentioned, the moment at the end of the speech to say. let's listen. >> ukraine will never be a victory for russia, for free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. we will have a different future, a brighter future. hope and light. of decency and freedom and possibilities. for god's sake. this man cannot remain in power. >> all right. ambassador, so here's the

clarity from the white house. putin cannot exercise power over the neighbor or the regions. he was not discussing regime change. talk to me about what you make of that moment and the speech overall. >> the speech overall as you characterized it correctly was very powerful. it was also delivered in a high emotional way. a very, very poignant way. a very powerful way so he clearly was determined to let europe know, poland know, let ukraine know and let mr. putin know he feels very strongly about this. your point -- it is a good question about the last line. there was no indication that i could see that this was not part

of the speech. i mean, it was -- he gave it very directly and determinedly. >> seemed unscripted. it did. >> it was right there at the end. but it went very smoothly from the rest of the speech. it was not -- it was a change, of course. it was a change but it was -- it was clearly heartfelt. >> ambassador, we are not directly going to be hearing from vladimir putin in the next few minutes or so but we did somewhat hear from him just five and a half hour drive away, bombs dropping in lviv, a space supposed to be relatively safe in this war. we were part of ukraine where so many ukrainians from the east fleeing to to seek refuge and safety and now it seems that

city being attacked. i cannot help but think this was a direct message to nato, and to the president of the united states from vladimir putin. >> the other thing is, yasmin, a demonstration that this -- that this strategy that the russians put out yesterday that they were going to start now focusing on the east, the eastern part of ukraine. that that was the real objective. it wasn't kyiv. it wasn't the west. you are exactly right. here are four or five direct hits on lviv in the western part of the country. clearly the strategy has not changed. clearly this was not lie from moscow. so this was a message and we take the message. we understand. they're still after the country.

>> all right. ambassador, you'll stay with us. i'll see you at 4:00 p.m. thank you. josh, thank you the president reiterated the commitment to the ukrainian people. let's take a listen. >> these international sanctions are sapping russian strength. its ability to replenish the military and the ability, its ability to project power. the western world has come together to provide for the people of ukraine with incredible levels of assistance. we stand with you. period. >> our next guest says more can be done. with me is a member of the ukrainian parliament. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. give us your reaction to what you heard from the president today. >> to be honest i agree with the previous speecher that is the

speech was powerful but unfortunately we have heard in this speech what has been done but not what is going to be done so there was nothing for ukrainians. trust me. every ukrainian probably is watching this speech trying to get at least two words. the air defense system or the jets or at least the no-fly doan. there was nothing new that was done previously and president biden did seem to be committed to support ukraine in further actions but the message to stand with ukraine as long as it has to be done means this is going to be a very long war for us. and unfortunately if we are not getting the air defense systems and the jets which means creating our own no-fly zone. we have not asking for boots on the ground or soldiers to fight with ukraine why that means he will continue to shell the

cities with the missiles like today in lviv and that was a very good example of how you can negotiate with putin because yesterday they came up with a statement that it's only the eastern part that will be focusing on and this is the new strategy. it seems it is not. that was a message to president biden. because he was 500 kilometers that was shelled today. i will as far as i want to go. >> what did you make of what wechb seeing in lviv today? supposed to be relatively safe inside ukraine, instead today missiles dropping in that city? >> unfortunately there is no safe place in ukraine anymore. that's why i have questions and i have people asking me how's your family doing? are they safe? i don't know what to say because it is not safe in kyiv or

mariupol. every city is bombed or shelled. yesterday there were more than 4,000 ukrainians, polish people with a great rally in front of the -- before biden had the meeting with the polish president and asking only one thing. no-fly zone which means give us the air defense systems. president biden, it was almost ten days ago that came out publicly after the president zelenskyy gave the speech in the congress and he said that ukraine will have the air defense systems and the s-300 come there to protect the civilian population because they can put down the missiles. unfortunately it is almost ten days and nothing is coming. there are still negotiations going on and for us it means thousands of people dead every day and we already see that he is not going to stop in the east

or kyiv. he will go as far as the polish border lettings him go and they will hit the polish border. they accidentally will hit poland or slovakia or another country and the world and nato has to be prepared for this. i heard biden saying don't be afraid. this is what is ukrainian nation keeps saying every day to the world. don't be afraid to stand up against putin because so far putin was the one drawing the lines for the western world saying you shouldn't be doing this. this will be an escalation why it is not nato or u.s. when we gave up the nuclear weapons and we were promised that we will have guarantees for protection. they're not telling putin if you kill one more child in ukraine this is the red line. it is putin telling them if you give them the jets it is a red

line and escalation. air defense system is an escalation. so unfortunately when i hear president biden saying don't be afraid i want them to truly do this and to believe in this because that's exactly what ukrainians keep telling the world. don't be afraid to stand up. we did. >> we thank you for joining us. ahead, i will be joined by the first deputy mayor of lviv to talk about the attacks on his city. don't miss that interview. also coming up the possibility of russia using chemical and nuclear weapons in ukraine as the kremlin seems to change the mission on this war. retired u.s. lieutenant general steph twitty joins me next. ing every business, our best deals on every iphone - including the iphone 13 pro with 5g. that's the one with the amazing camera? yep! every business deserves it... like one's that re-opened!

joined now by retired lieutenant general steph twitty. thank you for joining us on this. i appreciate it. a first question to you is, give me your assessment of that speech. a powerful moment for the president directly addressing vladimir putin calling him a criminal and a liar. what do you make of it? >> so first of all i thought it was a great speech by the president. probably the best speech that i heard from him since he's been in office. there are three things that i think that we should all take away from it. number one, the president reaffirmed u.s. commitment to article v of the nato treaty which means if there's an attack on one there's an attack on all and includes the u.s. and the other 29 nation that is make up nato. the second one is he reaffirmed our commitment to the

ukrainians. he said we will stand by you. i read that to mean the continued support with military aid trying to get in there and doing the best effort in pushing military aid and assistance in there to the ukrainian forces. as well as to continue the support of the humanitarian effort. you heard him announce 100,000 would be coming to the u.s. and then the last one is as you know he told putin that he had to go. you could take that either way, anyway you want to take it. i believe he was talking to the russian people. russian people have enjoyed 20 years of prosperity and putin is putting them back to the days of the soviet union where they will be isolated. that's a strong mess ablg to the russian people that you can live the type of life that you lived

or 20 years or back like in the soviet days. >> general, what did you make of the split screen moment? 500 or so miles from where the president stood in warsaw. there's missiles dropped in lviv, ukraine? a message from vladimir putin? >> what i will tell you is when you take a look at that it's no different than doing the past month that he's been in ukraine. he is terrorizing the people of ukraine. there is no strategic or tactical object i to attacking the people or infrastructure in ukraine. he could have been sending it as a message to the president, absolutely. but at the end of the day when you take a look at what he's trying to achieve it is hard to imagine that killing innocent people, grand parents, kids and

so forth should be a part of anyone's war strategy. >> we know the white house assembled the tiger teams to come up with responses if in fact chemical attack does occur. want to play what the president said about a potential of a chemical attack. >> have you gathered specific intelligence to suggest that president putin is deploying the weapons or considering the use? would the u.s. or nato respond with military action if he did use chemical weapons? >> i won't give you intelligence data, number one. number two, we would respond. we would respobd if he uses it. the nature of the response depends on the nature of the use. >> talk to me about what you heard the president say there by saying a response in kind. >> sure.

first of all, let me hit on the tiger teams. the tiger teams, that's nothing new. we form tiger teams with a crisis or a complex issue we need to solve why that's normally whole of government representation. military in there, the cia, the department of treasury. whole of government. they put together flexible response options that the president will sign off on. in those flexible response options, they provide whether it's the diplomatic instrument or military or economic instrument of power options for the president to use in the event to counter something such as what you hear with the nuclear or chemical weapons. the respond in kind is i don't

see the u.s. using chemical weapons if russia uses chemical weapons. what i do see is that the flexible response options could go anywhere from kinetic down to cyber based on the menu of options at his disposal. >> retired army lieutenant general twitty, thank you. we are live on the ground in lviv with the latest on the explosions. i'll be joined by the first deputy mayor of lviv why don't go anywhere. go anywhere. the dove beauty bar, is gentle. it not only cleans, it hydrates my skin. as a dermatologist, i want what's best for our skin. with 1/4 moisturizing cream, dove is the #1 bar dermatologists use at home. you're pretty particular about keeping a healthy body. what goes on it... usually. ♪♪

residents in lviv ordered to shelter in place after russian missiles struck the city. they're racing to control the fires while thousands brace for another strike. nbc's cal perry is in lviv with

us for more. cal, let's talk through this. you have been there since the very beginning of this thing. now it seems these missiles hitting lviv proper. talk us through what we know so far. >> reporter: absolutely. these sirens hearing now is the all clear from the air raid why this is the second air raid of the day and the all clear. the first rockets hit just after 4:30 and closer than a week ago at the airport. our cameraman heard the concussions much closer than a week ago at the oil and fuel depot. and then three hours later a second series of explosions and a defensive factory and vague because they do not want to give

away operational security information to the russians about the site of the strike. likely cruise missiles. pinpoint strikes on what the russians would call military infrastructure. the deputy mayor can speak to this. this was a city preparing. as you walked around the city you saw hardening of positions. sandbags out at the government buildings, the cathedrals in the town, statues are bundled up and they have been bundled up. there was an anticipation the air campaign would widen. the refugees here some on the way to poland or staying in the city and the now consistent sirens going off in the city and certainly changing the posture of the city.

>> all right. cal perry, for now, stay safe. i'll talk to you again. thank you. want to bring in first deputy mayor of lviv. thank you for joining us on this. let's talk about some of this and what's happening inside your city right now. is lviv, was lviv prepared for this type of attack? >> today early we had like a quite tough evening and afternoon. several hours. so we have two attacks, rocket strikes on targets of critical infrastructure. first fuel storage. and factory. hopefully there are no -- about five people were wounded. so the mayor just checked. residential buildings. hopefully they are not damaged. so today what we see right now

on the moment and checked that once cool and so windows and broken. so right now our rescuers walk on the locations. two locations from different districts of our city in order to work on the fire because it still burns and all services on location and so this russian missiles are closer to -- so it's quite -- so close the sky and to help ukrainians. this fight when russian troops kill children and kill women. >> are you anticipating more attacks like this one on your city? >> for last weeks. it's second attack on our city.

first was also fact ri. today also factory and fuel storage. critical infrastructure. because we as russia want to destroy not only residential but destroy economy in order to receive what would happen in mariupol and 21st century and want to destroy the route to don't give fast chance to fight and we ukrainians real heroes and keep fighting. so it doesn't matter what happen. it is our land. >> are you able to track the origin of the strikes? >> so just like was mentioned it was sirens. also was another strike. today we can't predict what will

be tomorrow. in one hour. because today it was like a cold morning but this afternoon and this evening was quite tough because it means that for the cold night the services will work because it is also the districts. very close to residential. so where live quite a lot of people and hopefully. we don't have any information about the people. who were like seriously wounded but right now we work to be ready for different strikes. >> how are you advising residents there, the displaced ukrainians that have left the eastern part of ukraine to seek safety in your city now it seems under attack? >> so today we have in our city more than 200,000 people.

it is how the ukrainians live in native term because of like quite a lot bombing and so seeing in kharkiv and other great cities so today we have more than 500 locations so it's comparably changed and so not that what we see in kharkiv, kyiv, mariupol and other ukrainian cities and it is an obligation to provide them and aware that school, very close to also that location where live our adps so quite important for us and our services will work to provide safety in that tempses and conditions which we can and so also that we have a lot of

residents who patrol during the night our city together with police and state security services. can't predict russia. more than 130 children were killed in our country and so our main aim to try to db different locations, different strike from russia and to defend our country. >> andre, first deputy mayor of lviv, thank you and please stay safe. our coverage will continue but the look at other stories and the details in the sudden death of an induct tee into the rock n roll hall of fame. we'll be right back. be right ba. it not only cleans, it hydrates my skin. as a dermatologist, i want what's best for our skin. with 1/4 moisturizing cream, dove is the #1 bar dermatologists use at home.

. . welcome back, everybody. a short time ago fighting was reported in the streets of the besieged southern port city of mariupol. that news coming after some 300 people were killed in last week's russian bombing of a theater turned shelter in that same city. nbc news has not been able to independently confirm that claim. this disaster, though, making it the single deadliest civilian attack since moscow invaded more than a month ago.

joining me is maxim, the mariupol city council member. max even thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. i want to get your reaction from what we heard from president biden an hour or so ago. he addressed the ukrainian people directly and said no matter what, essentially we are with you. >> it's good to hear these words. but we need more than words today. because even two hours ago we get another air strike to lviv. and without any modern system of anti-rockets and anti-plane systems we get more and more damages. if you look to my city, mariupol, it's totally destroyed. it's even more than three weeks ago it was prosperous city.

it was peaceful city, without any fascists, without any troubles. but today from my city it's only rubble. and it's total ruined. >> talk to me about the ongoing effort to evacuate every single person from your city, mariupol, especially when we think about the horrendous attack that took place a week or so ago, reports of 300 people or so being killed by russian bombs, russian missiles. >> russians -- russia still bombing and shelling the city. there is every day battles on the streets and corridor. examples of people where russians take control of the city a and they make a proposal.

and not even a proposal but they take the people from the city to russia. and most of the people, they have no choice. they go into russia not because any love it or because they want to be there. but when any have choice to die in the basements without food, without electricity, without heat and without water, they choose to go anywhere. so if they get proposal get to russia and from there back to ukraine they take this ticket. but if there are a lot of tries from ukraine and government from the mariupol city council, to get real green corridor. but there are no green corridor. russians don't let ukrainian buses and trucks go to the mariupol to get real humanitarian convoy and humanitarian aid, medicine, water, food.

they don't allow it. and they want the city to totally surrender. they need this propaganda so they can say they liberated mariupol from the fascists. but in reality they liberated mariupol from the peace, from our parks, from our buildings, from our homes. we today, more than 500,000 of people of citizens of mariupol were homeless. and today there is no hope for us to get back to our homes. and today's main aim is to get our -- get all the citizens, about 100,000 citizens, which are staying in mariupol, to get them from this occupied territory from the war to the peaceful ukrainian cities. but it's without help of our allies which can push on putin

we can't get them out. because they only allow to move from mariupol only small parts of the automobiles. but they don't allow to get here buses. only to the d. urdansk only 80 kilometers and only some people can go on foot. and people do this because the situation is terrible. >> devastating situation, maksym, thank you for sharing and joining us this hour. coming up, everybody at the top of the hour, we we are live back in lviv where explosions have been heard throughout the day. we're going to get reaction to president biden's address from poland, his commitment to ukraine, and his strong message to the russian president. >> the reason we want to make

clear is their movement on ukraine. don't even think about moving on one single inches of nato territory. en. a restorative shower fo. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. and it's easy to get a quote at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu? limu? sorry, one sec. doug blows a whistle.
