we have got more lines coming out that anthony blinken is giving out in moldova. has been saying that civilians had been deliberately attacked based on information they had been receiving. he is also now said that the us is documenting these attacks and will be keeping a record of everything that is taking place in this country. earlier i had spoken to a ukrainian mp who said they are filming and taking photographs because they feel that there are war crimes that have been committed in this country by russian forces, by vladimir putin and they are curating that information. anthony blinken also said that they are documenting all of the attacks on civilians that they say they're getting information. especially in densely populated areas. let's get the latest on the diplomatic front. anthony blinken has also been saying that the united states is considering sending ukraine war planes from poland to assist them in the ongoing battle. president zelensky is believed to have requested russian aircraft because the pilot human ukraine can better operate than that we're he

one final thought, anthony blinken - don't know. we will see.an attacks. attacks which have targeted civilians in potential war crimes. could that threat, that thought not change president putin in any way but act as any kind of restraint do you think on some of that military officers on the ground? some of the people that are given the day—to—day orders. people that are given the day-to-day orders. ~ ., ., ~ ., ., �* orders. well, hard to know. i don't know what — orders. well, hard to know. i don't know what they — orders. well, hard to know. i don't know what they are _ orders. well, hard to know. i don't know what they are personally - know what they are personally thinking. i was in the former yugoslavia when it was announced towards the end of the word singing 7? transmit towards the end of the word singing 7 7 transmit 7 7 towards the end of the word singing 77 transmit 77 capnext war in bosnia in the mid—90s that there will be a un war crimes tribunal. mil there will be a un war crimes tribunal. �* ., , there will be a un war crimes trib

anthony blinken talked about possible evan dozens of war crime.? >> absolutely. and this is something that i think has been sort of proven without a doubt, at this point. the strategy that the russian military, and its proxies, have employed in conflicts across the globe over the last decade. it's one that's not unfamiliar to most modern militaries, including the united states. although it very much has become a hallmark of russian military strategies, specifically, when they are trying to pacify or forced to submit a civilian population that resists them. we saw this in syria and we are certainly seeing it in ukraine now. there's civilian air raids in ukraine that are just being leveled. most acute example right now is mariupol. but this is certainly happening in kharkiv, as well, where there's shelling and rocket fire directly on civilian areas. there's artillery fire on these places. these are not precision strikes. these are not things that can even be through any shadow of a doubt claims to be aimed at military installations or mill that targ

nato has ruled that out, but tonight the us secretary of state, anthony blinken, said in an exclusiveew he's convinced ukraine can win the war with russia over time. more on that in a moment. but if we take a look at the map, the areas in red show the gains russian troops are making. they control large parts of the south, and are targeting the city of mariupol, which if captured would cut off ukraine's access to the black sea. another key target is kharkiv in the east, ukraine's second largest city. our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, has this special report from inside kharkiv, which has been bombarded by russian forces for much of the week. as we drove into kharkiv, it looked like half the city was heading out. a flow of families who have endured days of bombs and explosions. many wrote the word "children" on their cars, hoping they wouldn't be targeted. a few miles on, others stood with bundles of belongings, waiting for a bus to take them out — any bus to anywhere. svetlana told me shells had been landing close to her home. i asked how she's coping. she said she isn

secretary of state anthony blinken is in israel where he addressed the president's remarks.he u.s. and western allies with a heavy sanctions campaign against russia. administration officials have very answered whether the u.s. was trying to oust vladimir putin after the president's remarks, secretary of state address that again. >> as you heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in russia or anywhere else for that matter. >> western leaders are walking a fine line, there try to provide as much support to ukraine as they can without provoking a work with nato and you nuclear armed russia hola scholz says of regime change is not nato's goal. the french president emmanuel macron said he would've chosen different words and president biden did yesterday. >> i think we should be factual and first of all do everything so the situation does not get out of control. i would not use those terms because they continue to speak to president putin. what do we want to do collectively. we want to stop the weather russia launched in ukraine without war and without e

anthony blinken saying he was looking at how to backfill or perhaps send u.s. jets.t takes some time you cannot just hand over f-16s you need to prepare them to handover the third-party countries. there's a little bit of a delay ukrainians say they cannot way they did it today or tomorrow. it's one thing in the pipeline. also a lending program which was all during world war ii with the u.s. lent military equipment to european allies. that is a possibility. we don't know how it's going to happen but that's important because ukrainian need a train to fly those russian bricks. that seems to be the only solution at this point if they were to get a hold of planes. dagen: it is dagen mcdowell, we've seen pictures of dead bodies laying next to suitcases as ukrainians are obviously being killed as they tried to escape. talk about the prosecution of war crime potentially against vladimir putin is on the horizon and soon? >> it certainly is secretary blinken spoke about that today, they are gathering intelligence on it, and he was gathering evidence on it. i'm sure down the li

secretary of state anthony blinken also said today the u. s and its allies are discussing whether to ban oil and natural gas from russia. secretary blinken said president biden had already talked about a possible ban with his national security council the day before. until now western allies had been reluctant to ban oil and natural gas imports from russia out of concern that such a move would negatively affect their own economies. russian oil currently makes up less than 10% of the oil imported to the u. s as russia's attacks in ukraine continue to intensify charities now say they cannot send humanitarian aid through normal channels. because of the danger that comes with it. organizations like the international committee of the red cross say they're worried attacks in densely populated areas are putting children and the elderly at risk. ports are blocked and roads that have been bombed or making it difficult for charities to send humanitarian aid. the u. n says aid is getting to refugees in countries such as romania, poland and hungary. and

. >> today, secretary of state anthony blinken said this. >> we've seen scenes like this before in europe. every russian has lived or learned about the horrific siege of leningrad during world war ii, in which that city was systematically starved and intentionally destroyed, over nearly 900 days, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths a. that siege affected millions of russian families, including president putin who's one -year-old brother was one of the many victims. now, russia is starving out cities like mary opal. it is shameful. the world is saying to russia, stop these attacks immediately. let the food and medicine in. let the people out safely and end this war of choice against the ukraine. >> for the latest from ukraine we go to nbc's cal perry in lviv. cal, what were the highlights of today's day and combat and what are people expecting next? >> so, starting in the east of the country which is where we are seeing the war continue on unabated, those black sea cities from cure sean, which is on the western tip of the black sea, to marry-able which is on the eastern tip. we are

long and painful journey for these people. >> then there is the question from secretary of state anthony blinkenia should even remain on the un security council, considering the human rights abuses through the invasion. and what is to come. let's play a little bit of secretary blinken. >> reports of russia's human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian are mounting that by the hour. when can reasonably ask whether a un member state who tries to take over another un member state, while committing horrific human rights abuses, should be allowed to remain on this council. >> what do you think, elise? >> i agree. and this is the problem. this is a real irony of the un system, right? when you look at why the u.s. has gotten on the un human rights council for years, it's because of the hypocrisy's if some of these nations. zimbabwe weighs on it, china was on it. but i want to say something quickly, yasmin, about the idea of how this is going to end. the more that you sanction and that you isolate russia, obviously these moves are designed to make a u-turn. but the more that he doub

. >> he anthony blinken is just not a factor. assess these kinds of things, wars and geopolitical posturing through the lens of diplomacy information, operations, military and economic levers of national power. our diplomatic level of national power is weak, it's ineffective and i will tell you the afghanistan debacle really has had lasting impact as we all suspected it would on our nation, our country and the world. when you think about-- two things, one is demonstrated incredible incompetence and weakness in our national command authority and number to it and messaged it to the world that there was an opportunity here and that's what putin sees. thirdly, i would say the failure to account to acknowledge that there were mistakes made, that there was failure there and the fair winds and fallacies of the corporate progressive media to paper over the colossal failure that was afghanistan has given this administration on arrogant craven attitude that they can do anything and get away with it and it's also much what they do, it's wha

we heard it from the secretary of state, anthony blinken. vladimir putin is a war criminal. do you agree? >> we agree that there are warcrimes being committed in ukraine. they have to be investigated, of course, by the relevance authorities. but the main thing that we need to do now is stop the war, get russian boots off the ground, and return ukraine to that piece. >> at the un, russia has called a meeting today, about what they say are u.s. file weapons in ukraine. it's a baseless attempt to deflect the atrocities being done on these people. sky news, new york. >> let's just bring you a little more on our top story this morning, the news of at least four missile strikes on the ukrainian western city of lviv. the mayor of the city has put a message on the account, i will read out what it says because it says what is happening. the missiles are near lviv airport. he called out the address in realtime. but it's definitely not important. the windows in the building are damaged. the situation on the spot has been clarified, it will publish later. they need to follow the instruc
