>> multiple gun battles between russian special forces, moving through this capital city of kyiv so it's clear that some level russian forces are in the city center of kyiv and they've engaged with political forces. doesn't appear to be a major push. shelling on the outskirts of the city several miles away. the president of ukraine announced that last night it's going to be the big push. he expected russians to try to take the city paid he said the fate of ukraine hangs in the balance. that did not occur overnight. the russians are still out on the outskirts. we've seen a number of videos from ukraine's president zelenskyy posting in front of the presidential palace really in an effort to show that he's still here, he's not leaving. he and his cabinet and tend to be here as a symbol of the state not running away from the russians. as far as damage goes here, we did see another apartment building hit by what seems to be a missile. no reports of any deaths from that but several people injured and also people are leaving. the train station, it's a real scene of chaos. soldiers had to fire i

there is a real understanding here in the capital that if the russian forces entered the city, it willnment. it will look very much like guerrilla warfare where you see ambushes by ukrainian forces who are still left here trying to defend the ukrainian capital, and it will be quite bloody. it will be a different battlefield than what these guys have been fighting in the past few days, past 36 hours since this erupted. we are also seen reports in the south near crimea of a bridge that is currently contested. the russian forces trying to take control of this, as the ukrainian line trying to hold strong in the southern part of the country. this scene is playing out not only in the south near crimea and here near the ukrainian capital, but also in the far east, in the region in the donbas region, and also near kharkiv, the second largest city in ukraine. much of the country is at war, at the russian forces currently fighting on behalf of president putin, who ordered this invasion, are only about at a third capacity from what we understand, according to u.s. defense officials. so they have

we know there were some missile strikes in the capital city of kyiv. the fighting has been pretty intense in the area -- i should say lviv, the fighting is intense in the area around kharkiv, that is close to the city of kyiv. the russians have advance from three sides. from the north of the border of belarus, up from the crimean peninsula, and they've come west from the border with russia and that's where you get that intense fighting that has taken place around the city of clark kharkiv. you see the flow of refugees as people try to get away from all that fighting. the road that goes from kyiv to where i am now in lviv, it's usually a six-hour drive. it's taking up to 18 hours now. the committee on refugees say that more than 50,000 refugees have poured more over the border of poland and will dole we know they've established a medical train to take the injured to hospitals where they can get some care. and we've got some new images of people crossing the border which is south of where i am now and that is the border into romania. also we know as far a

thank you for joining us. >> want to take you now to a live picture from the capital city of >> in ukrainethere is smoke that can be seen from at least one camera angle. we have a few of them. and that is the capital 7th, the biggest city in europe, bigger than rome, bigger than paris. and here's that shot where you can basee the smoke wafting int that blood will the sky. bevicki, just minutes after president putin effectively declared war saying that military operation is going to unbe happening in dunn boss there were reporters that we are watching live in kiev, where you could hear explosions in the background. yeah. suggested those explosions were coming from the international airport >> and there were about i from what i could tell in the hour or so that i was before they began. there were about 8, 11 throughout the city of of keith. also much more a concerning development. then what was talking about relative to what he announced tonight that, quote, special military operation in dunn boss, that's an area that's been controlled by pro-russian for many years. now, the key of is obviou

city hockey eve. as rushes invasion of the country enters its 4th day and near the capital key of an oil depos a blaze after being hit by a missile strike. residence in the city, i spent the 3rd night hunkered down under ground. like these people in a bomb shelter. ukraine says a radioactive waste sight near keith was also hit by shelling. but so far, no threat leaks has been detected. i'm joined in the studio now by dw or border hannah, whom all has blue, has been monitoring the news coming out of ukraine and t of specifically hannah. what can you tell us about the latest developments in the capital city? well, it's again under really heavy attack. we're talking air raids, rocket attacks, gunfire. heavy shelling fights on the ground and there is even an aisle the pull that's been on fire for the last few hours. and there was 40 kilometers south of care. but still in that region, and it's quite difficult to confirm exactly what and where and when everything is going on because there is limited communication, it's all happening so fast and bear in mind everyone there is obviously just trying to stay sa

they want to take over the capital city. they tried last night. they were unsuccessful. so they're going to be really throwing in all of their forces going and filled for us. and it's going to be really tough night for people who are in kiev. and just a reminder, i mean here is a city of almost 3000000 residents. and these are people who, up until a few days ago, we're still going about their everyday lives. probably not really thinking that it was going to actually come to this and they are now hunkered down, staying in air raid shelters bomb shelters. like we just saw there with no lights, probably limited communication to family and loved ones. so since really quite unimaginable. now many ukrainians are fleeing as we know, but others are staying behind in order to help the war effort. what are they doing? so 1st of course men between the ages of 18 and 60, i'm allowed to leave. they have to stay behind in case they need to be there to fight. but other people are also remaining behind. probably because it's their home . maybe they think that am ukraine really stands a

the battle is underway for control of ukraine's capital city kyiv. they have now breached the city, the northern part of the city. trey yengst is reporting in detail now. the biden administration is looking at next steps to bolster our allies. critics say the president simply is not doing enough to support ukraine at this point. what more could he do next. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. >> harris: brand-new information coming from our own lucas tomlinson currently in the western part of ukraine. u.s. officials are telling lucas that thousands of russian marines are assaulting a breach in southeast ukraine near the russian border and also telling him that russia has fired more than 200 missiles into ukraine and that the ukrainian resistance stronger than expected. also the russians are behind their day one objectives in th

where ukrainian troops are going head-to-head with russian forces outside of the capital city. >> afternoon the russian defense ministry says they destroyed more than 1000 ukrainian military targets but they haven't talked much about the civilian targets that have taken direct hits here in ukrainian capital. more than two people were killed and a russian missile slammed into the side of an apartment building. overnight the russians targeted an oil depot south of the city. fighting continues outside of city limits with satellite images showing russian troops approaching. we know over the past two days there have been street battles between what's been described as russian saboteurs in the ukrainian military and the streets of the capital city within the city limits. this is significant as both the army and civilians are preparing to battle. the russian troops as they approach a city. many civilians at this hour are waiting underground in kyiv metro and other bomb shelters. we hear the sirens throughout the day and night. the sirens piercing the air warning people to get underground because t

i have faith that we have what it takes to make jackson a city that is a hub for business and capital investment. a city where jobs are plentiful and opportunity is only limited by how hard you are willing to work. [applause] reasonable citizens must take back control from those who only wish harm to their neighbors. their day is ending jackson. the men and women of local law enforcement will always be the first line of defense. the front-line officers who feel abandoned cannot be left to their own at -- to their own devices. that is why i have championed an expanded scope of our capital police force to support local law enforcement and to bring peace back to jackson. tower law enforcement officers who wake up every day, put on the badge and risk their own personal safety to protect and serve, i say thank you. [applause] i will do everything i can to provide you with the tools and resources you need to keep us and to keep yourself safe. that is why i want to work with the legislature to get you the support you need. it is why a proposed doubling the size of our capitol police force so

sound of explosions in the capital city. what is the latest? ore explosions in the ukraine capital of kyiv. the russians condition their air offensive. they continue to make efforts to come into kyiv from the north and according to ukrainian officials there are and member of the russian army operating within the city limits. a spoke to a member of parliament a few minutes ago carrying a gun with him. he is headed to the northern part of this city tomorrow to fight back against the russians and we saw images of the mayor of kyiv with an automatic weapon to defend his city. this is what we expect in the coming days or hours within the ukrainian capital. it will look like urban warfare. they won't be able to use the air support as much as they have. they will have to fight the ukrainian army and it will be a bloody battle. >> sandra: we are waiting to find out what happened on this phone call with zelensky and president biden. we are told it lasted about 40 minutes. we have not seen the readout. zelensky sounded somewhat optimistic that the united

we are alive - - life and also standing by at the white house for reaction also tonight in the capital city what have you been seeing on the ground? >> good evening a russian missile hit and oil depot just south of the city causing a massive fire. this guy behind me is orange as the fire rages on just south of where we are at right now. the russians are hitting targets throughout the city sending civilians running for bomb shelters. earlier in the day an apartment building was hit injuring a number of people we were there and saw the destruction of these homes where people lived. is such a familiar scene as were has erected following the russian invasion into this country. civilians are taking things into their own hands and arming themselves as best they can we were in the city today in the reliance of people at police stations waiting to get weapons and we spoke to one member of parliament who said he picked up the ak and they were handing them out like candy. there is a real understanding that if the ukrainian will be successful to push back the russian offensive they have to fight tooth

capital of kyiv. this is significant because we talked about chernobyl. north of the cityian troops to move on a key road after defeating ukrainian forces. it's a multi-prong attack on the ukrainian capital. in the russians move forward with this assault on the city. what we can expect in the coming days, likely a deterioration of the situation. the ukrainian forces said they are successful using anti-tank missiles but not using any air dense. we have not seen any air defense around the ukrainian capital. it was sig significant today they took back the airport. russian forces attacked this air field with helicopters. the ukrainians were able to it take it back. this is only go on for so long. a limited amount of military supplies and forces. according to ukrainian president zelensky 137 people were killed today in less than 24 hours following this russian invasion into the country. the ukrainian capital is receiving strikes tonight want not sure if they are cruise or ballistic missiles. >> sean: stay safe. with the latest from the senate intel committee florida senator rub

the capital city has been hit by artillery shells. the most intense fighting in the second largest city of kharkiv. russian forces entered that city. street fights "shoulder mourn the weapons and rpgs. ukrainian forces still in control of kharkiv. after five days of invasion russians still do not control any major population center. and it in command and control center still exists. potential talks under way this morning. they are expected to take place at the border between belarus and ukraine. low expectations from ukrainian officials. there is still a hope. they will pursue sit if possible. another thing to be concerned about is vladimir putin place his nuclear forces on high alert saying it's due to aggressive sanctions from the u.s. 3400,000 refugees have fled. it's a complete disaster. people freezing in cars overnight. a 24-hour plus wait at the border. the numbers of refugees could stretch into the millions if this goes on. griff: you mentioned the humanitarian angle. that's what everyone is watching. the plight of grandmothers

city. the capital has a population of nearly 3 million people. pretty soon they will run out of these things and when they do it will add pressure to this situation. the international community won't have any way to get humanitarian assistance into the city. when people are hungry and worried about the survival of their family it changes everything. dan: stay safe, trey, we really appreciate it. vladimir putin. did he walk himself into a guerrilla war? it's one thing to take a city like kyiv. but it's an entirely different thing to occupy a group of people that have a strong sense of national identity who don't want to be occupied? you have to ask yourself, is this guy sane? is vladimir putin the same person we were dealing with just six months ago? what calculus was he going through in his head thinking a city of 3 million people with a strong national identity. educated group of people with a long history. armed now, 3 million people, many of them armed. did he think taking the city was going to be as easy as occupying it? did he walk himself i

day two is underway at the ukrainian capital city of kyiv under siege. it with air strikes. officials say it could fall in a matter of days or house to house, building to building, street by street fighting for some time. i'm bill hemmer, it is friday. good morning. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." we have new video showing the immense damage inflicted on the capital of kyiv. ukraine says the invasion has killed nearly 100 people so far. pentagon warning it's part

the capital city of kyiv still remains in ukrainian hands.trol of the ukrainian military still remains intact and we are seeing an operation happening here as far west as lviv. the russian military still does not maintain air superiority. the air defenses of the ukrainians are intact and the command is intact and the ukrainians are still very much in this fight, which is clearly surprising the russian military. trace. >> trace: i just want to know for my own curiosity because i can see cars driving behind you and i know the countries under martial law. i'm curious how it's working. is it being policed on a regular basis or are people being told to go back inside the whole covid thing? are businesses open and is there some kind of feeling of normalcy was mack how would you and your crew be able to get stuff to eat if things are closed up and martial law was in total effect? >> initially while the invasion started, there was the appearance of normalcy and a lot of foot traffic people riding the buses, but when you talk to people, their attitude

russian forces closing in on the capital city there, there each hour raising concerns, of course, of city will in fact fall to russian control. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is appealing for a cease-fire. but the same time, warning that this day is the decisive moment for the future of his country the, future of his people as well. russian troops have now moved in from the north, south, and east of the country. coming in from all sides, really. the washington post reporting that the u.s. is ready to help zelenskyy get out of kyiv, to avoid being captured or killed. so lewinsky, though, is telling ukrainians, they will never lay down their weapons, facebook's parent company meta said, it's barring russian state media from money as on any of its platforms. they also say they put labels on any content that comes from russian media, this is -- so many access for facebook. as battle for canvas and temps -ifying, i want to bring in congressman brad sherman of california, senior member of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thank you very much for joining us, this mor

hour in ukraine's capital city of kyiv. this is a large picture right now of ukraine. russia's declaration of independence for those states is seen as a sharp escalation and possible precursor to russia invading ukraine. let's bring in nbc's alice barr with the very latest. >> reporter: in a move many experts see as a potential trigger for further violence, russian president vladimir putin today recognizing as independent two breakaway regions in eastern ukraine where russia has been backing separatist it is surrounded right now on three sides with 200,000 troops. >> you're right about that. let's call this step one. i think after this happens, he is going to take a long pause and see how the world reacts, what kind of sanctions are really put on, because the u.s. has received a lot of criticism from allies in the past for having menial sanctions. are these sanctions with teeth? finally, how about the ukranian resistance itself? is it going to be strong? is it going to cost russians lots of lives? and we can't forget, what about germany? what germany? germany is the we

what is happening there and what happens when they get to the capital city? >> thank you.t's a part of the dangerous phase. i think we saw a pretty significant from ukrainian forces for the initial day of invasion and obviously russian forces, we are not anticipating significant resistance. now that they are trying to enter kyiv an effort to decapitate the government to take out president zelensky and install puppet regime and hope resistant trades. i think we are concerned about urban warfare we might be seen. significant attacks against civilian forces. i think this is where we enter into probably the more dangerous parts, even only in the first 48 hours of this conflict. >> carley: congressman, i was hoping you could speak to this moment where vladimir putin could very well order and assassination of ukrainian president who is democratically elected by 70% of the population. now, he is staring down the barrel of political fascination and a modern european city come i don't think our lifetime we expect to get something like this would happen. >> certainly not something a

city. but certainly on the outskirts. and that's what people here in kyiv are waking up to this morning. and it's not just kyiv, the capitalit's a number of eastern cities like dnipro, kharkiv, closest to the russian border, if you like, in the northeast corner of ukraine. just over the border there, there have been russian troops massing over the last week. also odessa in the south, a crucial port city, again, reports of explosions. nothing yet from the ukrainian president. if i can read you this, this comes from the ukrainian foreign minister who of course has been at the u.n. in new york. he's also been in washington holding meetings. saying putin has just launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine, peaceful ukrainian cities are under strikes, this is a war of aggression. ukraine will defend itself and will win. the world can and must stop putin. obviously we've heard other statements likely to echo those sentiments. the reality is after all those weeks, all those months of rising tensions, many people finding it difficult to find vladimir putin in the year 2022 would launch a war in europe. nevertheless, that is what uk

they've been battling ukrainian border guards, heading this way towards the capital city. what happens next is not clear. will those tanks, the armored vehicle stopped outside the city? will there be a siege operation? it seems likely there is the extent and widespread nature of this attack that this is about regime change. it's a change regime, the decapitate this regime. the russian forces are going to have to come here to kyiv. that's what we are waiting for, that's what we expect. >> trace: as you look at the screen, live pictures, 10:04 a.m., coming west out of kyiv, it's bumper-to-bumper. looks like it'll come take a really long time to get these people to where they are going. we aren't saying all of them are fleeing but certainly some of them are and i wonder if you know, i don't know, i don't want to pin you in on this. if you know there are any policies in places like poland on what they would do, they would allow these people to come in, are they allowing refugees to come across the border, do we know any of that and has that been talked about? >> it has been tal

explosions have been echoing through the now go sleaze streets of the capital city after those streets were bustling. normally just a couple days ago, the ultimate objective, according to u.s. intelligence is for vladimir putin to try to overthrow ukraine's government. meantime, nearby cities are also under attack from air strikes and ground assaults. there are many ukrainians who are fighting back more than 150 ukrainians, including soldiers and civilians are now dead in what is the worst crisis europe as seen in decades and first ground war. it is the first that we have seen of this sort in more than 80 years since world war. 2 kron four's correspondent nicole bri lee is tracking the latest developments on the battlefield and the efforts by the prideful ukrainians to defend their homeland. day 2 of fighting. ukrainian tanks in the streets of the capital as invading russian forces moved closer to the seat of government in central kyiv. heavy fighting was reported as russian forces approached from the north. >> this bridge on the outskirts of kyiv was destroyed to keep russian troops o

city. we are setting checkpoints in the capital. so moment around the city will be limited. she could be all critical infrastructure is working with public transport is working to transport workers of the critical infrastructure of the city. the metro is working except for the red line, but the stations are available to shelter people. well, alexi hutton is a political analyst, is also a professor of comparative politics, the kia marie academy. he tells us now what he's been witnessing close to where he lives. it seems that now there are no fights in the street. during the night. rush, rush, him better through his eyes, and they also send subversive groups into the gales. they try to do it, but they are destroyed. they're destroyed. so basically, what we can ukrainian army is the founding. they are trying to approach to the see the approach, the see the but the, i believe it's in the veins. they try to see if it's a round key the key, you know, it doesn't happen now. now about my own experience, basically i am, i am all the time when tv a do, a commanding will what's going o

it's here in the capital city. if people are going to have to make this decision about to stay or leave, now you have to know that the board of the barrow rose, it's just the last 200 kilometers from here. ukraine said that the explosions. in fact, those of you have heard this morning that was initiated from bella. ruth, for dollar rou, said he never participated in any military support with regard or assault and support of russian troops. this is a problem at this point. a lot of things are blurry in terms of who were things originate from what we can see, of course, that the aggression from russian troops is going beyond the region of don't boss i way beyond with the board of don't boss. and the question really is just how find how intense this is, what's being called an invasion is going to continue and what that will trigger in terms of ukrainian or panicking and what that panic actually means for security here on the ground. what it sounds like there is the development of information for the sewing of mistrust

. >> ukrainians holding onto the capital city and fighting for their lives. >> this is our country, our choice, our freedom. >> new video appearing to show ukrainian drone taking out a russian missile system. >> we are fighting and we are becoming stronger and stronger from day to day. >> fallout is hitting russia's economy very hard. >> the ryu bell is under absolute pressure falling 30%.

back to you. >>> this morning, russian troops are storming towards ukraine's capital city as city officials urge residents to take shelter. air raid sirens echoed through kyiv this morning as we enter the third day of conflict. it's unclear how far the russian soldiers have advanced. reports suggested the small russian units might be probing the edge of the city attempting a clear path for the main forces. the ukrainian president zelensky claims the ukrainians have successfully rappeled enemy attacks. >> and this is a look at russian infantry vehicles further east near kharkiev. the fighting is fierce and contained to the outskirts of the city. the reporter is seeing a lot of military activity across the border in russia. >> reporter: you can see in the distance, that is the final checkpoint that the russians have on the way to kharkiev, and one of the main battle fields. that is the way there. this morning, we're seeing a lot of russian armored convoys moving in that direction and some coming out of there as well and seems they're rotating troops through that area, moving them in and out t

there seems to be a picture in the capital city, kiev of spontaneous residential citizen driven militia springing up all over the city. people ordinary, i hate the word ordinary, but it's appetite ordinary ukrainians, prepared to fight for their country. is that what is happening as well in concave? well, i see that now it's mostly military who is fight in the russian coupons because we have my new military here service because we have 2 major military universe at this. and a lot of people was military background. so i think that's for now, what just happened in the military operation. citizens are advised to stay at school because they, there might be a fight on the streets and also the rush and get to also the the power power facilities here because they blowed of the, the guess pipeline. and so they apparently trying to threaten the population and the be in the, in the eastern city report. so i'm not sure if you heard the conversation, but i reported that i was discussing this with just before we started this conversation, she was making the point that there was a perception. there i

taking out all of the ukrainian air defense systems but just yesterday, we saw one active near the capital cityis indicates the ukrainians still have some ability to push back these air raid assaults on the capital of kyiv. they are asking for more. nato general young stoltenberg indicated today that nato members are going to give the ukrainians more air defense systems, because they understand how heavily this country has been getting hit in the past two days, from the air, by the russian air force. these air raid sirens indicate that they're going to continue hitting the city and the explosions off the distance right now, likely a few miles from where we are standing, martha. >> martha: all right. trey, it is probably hard to talk from where you are, but give us a sense of what some of the likely targets would be in kyiv? >> we note yesterday, when the russians targeted a building very close to where we are standing, it was an intelligence office for the ukrainian government. just stay with me here, martha. i need to listen here. you can hear the jets in the sky above us. some of the building

unlike anything since it was attacked by germany in 1941, and here's a live look right now at the capital city of kiev. it is now eight o'clock in the morning. there you can see the streets are nearly empty, with very few cars or people out. journalists in the city report hearing multiple blasts that reverberated across the city right at dawn, ukrainian president vladimir zelensky said that 137 ukrainians have been killed and 316 others wounded, some in fierce battles. russian troops are now believed to be just 20 miles from the capital of kiev, and us secretary of state anthony blinken said he believes russia's intention is to overthrow the ukrainian government. let's go live now to ktvu is amber lee joining us from san francisco with more of the message from those who rallied earlier today in civic center, amber. alex. the rally here in san francisco was emotional. there were passionate speeches and people were crying . they tell me they want the world to know ukraine needs help. don't isolate them on the international arena. speakers address a crowd of hundreds in front of san francisco cit

of the capital city. it's used as a cargo airport. fierce battle into the day and night. it is unclear where the russians overcame the ukrainians. why is that important? if the russian air force has control of this cargo airport you can fly in troops and materials and machinery. you are only 24 miles from kyiv the capital city. another area up here. this is chernobyl. you might remember from april of 1996. this is where there was an enormous nuclear disaster in 1986. the russian collusion military moved through this area. this is an exclusion zone in red. the ukrainian military held them off for sometime but were unable to keep the russian military out and moscow was able to claim victory in that area there. let me clear this and go back one time here. this is what mike was talking about. the area where the russian military chose to go in. you can pinpoint 3 areas. from the north in belarus. this is a border now. this is not russia up here. this is not working great. what a senior defense official said earlier today from belarus they

>> hi lawrence, it's the early hours of the morning here in kyiv and people here in the capital city are waking up to the sound of booms. we have heard any number of what's sounds like explosions in the distance. just moments ago, i heard when -- any sirens go off. however, in the city -- i've been told by city officials that there is a siren system here in kyiv and they should think that the city was under military attack, the sirens would go off. they had said they tested them. we have yet to hear any sirens, but we are hearing booms. this is following what has been a sleeveless night for any number of ukrainians who have been watching these -- we heard a heart rending plea from the president of ukraine, making an appeal directly to the citizens of russia, he was saying that he has no longer able to communicate or talk to russian president, vladimir putin. but that is been ruled out at this point. so, he is appealing to the last resort. that is the russian people directly saying the truth is, that we need to stop before it is too late. and if the russian leadership does not want to

and even in a capital city like kyiv. will not be easy to simply just walk through the city and take over. they will face resistance. again, not only from the armed forces but also the civilians here. jesse? >> jesse: before we let you go, how exactly far away right now are the russian soldiers, not the saboteurs that have been inserted already into this city, are they two miles? five miles? give us some perspective. >> they are within 10 miles of the city. i don't want to give an exact number because they have been moving and the frontline moves each and every hour. but they are close. they are getting closer by the minute. there are reports, also, that in the south there are russian troops trying to land and basically make their way from another direction. it would be very, very difficult to basically take this city and corner it without seeing any resistance from the ukrainian forces but, again, the russians have an estimated 200,000 troops participating in this offensive. only about a third of them are actively in thi

if you look back at the breakaway republic of chechnya, putin absolutely leveled their capital city. os of it. i'm worried he will do a similar tactic against ukrainian cities. >> bill: i want to take you back to a statement he made last week. it was on video and apparently it was recorded three days before the invasion began but played to the russian people and the rest of the world at the moment that the invasion started. he talked about warning other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to consequences you have never seen. and that is a quote leading many people to think he was talking about nuclear weapons. he made a move with regard to that on sunday. can you explain the significance of the move he made and how concerned we should be? >> well, we should be concerned because vladimir putin -- you know, he was always very aggressive but he has seemed shakeier in the last few weeks as we've analyzed the speeches that he has given. we should take it seriously. i think most of it honestly is him trying to get more leverage in negotiations that he wants to be seen as atte

fire fights on the outskirts of the capital city indicate that these forces are now moving in. u.s. intelligence had predicted -- overwhelming fire power in the proximity of kyiv to the belarus border that russian forces could likely take the capital within 48 hours. that didn't take into account the fierce resistance that russian forces have encountered along the way including the russian war plane that was videotaped as it was shot down over the capital. remember those stinger missiles and anti-aircraft weapons that nato states like estonia provided to the ukraine government. britain's defense minister ben wallace said western intelligence assessed that the russian army failed to deliver its key military goals on day one of the invasion. russian tanks and troops encountered more resistance from ukraine fighters than anticipated. take a look at this russian tank that was destroyed likely by one of those javelin anti-tank missiles the u.s. has been providing ukraine since 2018. the pentagon won't say how many javelins were provided. that number is classified. these weapons could beco

political leaders, but we begin live here on the ground in ukraine with steve harrigan who's in the capital citykyiv. it sounds like the russians are moving closer and closer. >> it is, and you can actually hear them on the outskirts of the city and it sounds like steady tank fire in the distance. for right now, we are not hearing anything 8:00 a.m. in the city of 3 million people. it should be rush hour now and if you look around the city, there is practically people out on the street, deadly silent. it's a very strange situation right now. earlier today, we did hear air sirens just after dawn and before that a major explosion in the sky a real fireball. a plane was shot down, not clear whether it was russian or ukraine plane and it's not clear who shot it down. but it's clear that some of the debris because an apartment building to go on fire. as far as the president goes of ukraine, he is still here in the capital and he says he's not going anywhere. he says it's clear that the russians intend to target him. here is zelenskyy. >> [speaking non-english language] >> he says he's enemy number on

to tighten the noose on the capital city.g has manifest did largely overnight in a small arms fire street to street come battles and some artillery fire. we also have from the ukraine video of people seeking shelter underground in some ways we've seen that across the nation as people, as the gunfire comes in, as artillery fire comes in, as air strikes come in, they're trying to find most protected spot they can get, they go to basements of their home and into the subway. the sirens are wailing periodically from time to time. the different places here to the far west we have heard sirens go off a few times. also want to say here to the far west this is where a lot of people are fleeing. the russian push on the ground is coming from three directions. from the north, from the east, and from the sale. leaving the west open as an escape point. we talk a lot about people trying to flee through the polish border. we know that upwards of 50,000 refugees have poured over polish border but also directly to the south of where i am now i

the senior defense official saying the russian advance somewhat slowed down into the capital city of kyiv, that those northern approaches into the city, the russians have become bogged down. the ukrainian military, ukrainian forces fighting back. ukraine still having command and control and air defense in dispute. russians have some air defense control but the ukrainian forces also have some. so while they say that it's slowed down, some of the videos the world is seeing show russian forces very much on the advance, continuing to pour troops and vehicles into ukraine. this is a battlefield that, to say the least, is very fluid. >> to say the least. let's get to what is that battlefield, the country of ukraine. erin burnett is in lviv to the west of that country. erin, what are you seeing and hearing there? >> in the past few moments, president zelenskyy, president of ukraine, just appearing, doing a facebook sort of selfie video with four of his closest advisers and coming out of the bunker that we understand he's been in under kyiv. appearing with his defense minister as well, which

this was the capital city of georgia today, the nation of georgia to lacey. it was also a former soviet state, a place on vladimir putin expects to be under his thumb. putin invaded georgia, took parts of it in 2008, playing much of the same playbook he is playing now in the much larger nation of ukraine. today, tens of thousands of people in georgia turned out to say no to putin. to say no to this war that he is waging against ukraine. watch what they said here in this clip. >> [inaudible]. >> these are -- in the capital of georgia, and they are saying zelenskyy, zelenskyy, they are chanting the name of the president of ukraine. late last night in the video call with leaders of the european union, -- told the other leaders on that call, quote this might be the last time you ever see me alive. u.s. intelligence has been oddly prescient during this whole crisis, u.s. intelligence has said publicly that in fact, one goal of the russian war is to kill president volodymyr zelenskyy, to hunt him down personally and kill him. today, he posted this video to social m

that an assault is going to take place on their capital city. now, we have seen around noon local time, around a fire or smoke rather rising over a building very close to a row. yeah, right now in the city center. it turns out that this is the headquarters of the intelligence service of the defense ministry. it could not be verified at this point whether there is any damage to the building or an adjacent part to it. what we can confirm only that this was another yet another explosion, and we have several of them ourselves as you are actually waking up to those explosions early this morning, shortly after 4 am local time. and shortly after bloody be a put in, in russia, made that announcement that he's going to, and he's going to declare a quote, military operation of ukraine. now this is not what it is at this point. in fact, it's a full scale invasion. and people are bracing for the worst people that are panicking actually at this point, those who are leaving or trying to leave keith. it's very difficult actually to leave right now towards the

intelligence thought the capital city of kyiv might fall more quickly. that country is holding its own despite being out manned and outbeguned and out numbered. the rest of europe has joined the united states to rally around ukraine president zelenskyy and his people. he is a hero, very active on social media. the people in the streets are expressing he is one of them. former national security advisor h.r. mcmaster. >> i think putin got a lot more than he bargained for. he is in a very difficult position. anything we can do financially going after his international criminal enterprise with sanctions is important. the support for ukraine's ability to defend themselves is also important. >> harris: the house foreign affairs committee is in "focus" and fox team coverage. jennifer griffin reporting from the pentagon. let's go first inside the war as we do each day. trey yengst is on the ground in kyiv. trey. >> good morning. there were peace talks today along the border between belarus and ukraine. russian and ukrainian delegation showing up. a stark contras

the concern the last few minutes has largely been in capital city kyiv. there are reports that russians are moving into the northern outskirts of the city. there are fears that city, the capital city could fall within the next one to four days. the civilians, the population of that city has been told to take to the streets to defend themselves with molotov cock cocktails. a few minutes ago we spoke to the former president, petro poro poroshenko. he was armed himself. listen. . >> we shall teal with putin like the man with the lost reason. he's just simply mad. he's just simply crazy. he's just simply evil to come here to kill ukrainian. ukraine onwho is -- we lost now about 130 ukrainian soldiers. that's exactly why we shall secure ukraine today and support ukraine tomorrow. i have a feeling that i am specific target of the russians for already eight years. and this is me is just a symbol. we are not afraid of them. and just now, while we are here, we have a report for our civil defense that in five minutes we will have a russian bomb in the center of kyiv

,, orchestrated the capital city, , orchestrated across the capital city,, orchestrated across thent of another country comes out and says we are moving troops into your country, how is a person living peacefully in ukraine, how do you deal with that? how are people going to cope with that? this is it. the most striking thing is how used ukrainian art to such sustained period of aggression. more than 111,000 ukrainians have lost their lives in eight years of war, especially in the ease. but misinformation, the country infrastructure coming under attack, the finger usually pointed at russia in those instances and eight years is a long time to be shocked by that and they are used to it. they often talk about their desire to fight. some have upped sticks and moved west to people like lviv that that is just the sound of screeching car over there — but in a city quite lively, people walking, filling pavements but this morning it is quiet. the signature cobbled streets here are quiet. the light have just gone out, the sun rising over saint michael's cathedral over my shoulder but given t

and by the senseless acts of mayhem we need a capital city governed by laws not abandon.e all have an interest with the deadly cycle. [applause] and we all go down to be a brighter road. and that capital city where residents don't have to fear for their safety and they can run around in the yard without having to fear if they will be home for dinner. i believe that still exist. i haveve faith we have what it takes to make jackson in a city that is a hub for business and capital investment where jobs are plentiful and opportunity is only limited by how hard you are willing to work. and then those that want to wish harm then there are pending and then and women of law enforcement will always be the first line of defense that they cannot be left to their own devices and that is why i have championed our capital police force to bring peace back to jackson and law enforcement officers who wake up every day and put on the badge and risk their own personal safety to protect and serve us, i say thank you.
