if there is one thing i know about jennifer griffin she is coming prepared.d how countries were willing or not willing germany to put in what they needed to, to help ukraine 62 days ago. he didn't just punt but made it look like the rest of us not seeing europe the way it should have and could have from the beginning to save so many lives? what was that? >> that was the first thing when i'm listening to that i was cringing because number one even during his press conference why do you want to bring that up right now? that was one of the primary drivers that led russia to invade in the first place because they literally are terrified of nato right up into their border and especially in ukraine into the russian country actually the way it is in there. now they are trying to get this resolved. the best thing for the united states is that we need to contain this where it's at to prevent it from escalating further >> i don't understand why they would be talking about that now. >> harris: i know i don't know what we don't know and i know you know more and many of t

>> neil: thanks, jennifer griffin. jennifer at the pentagon. we can tell you this battle in mariupol where the russians say it's over, they have complete control. you might have heard president biden convinced that is not the case. we know that 2,000 ukrainians are holed up in this essentially a steel plant that is being used right now as sort of their only defense against the russian onslaught. it's very hard to penetrate that. vladimir putin has made it such that it's very hard to leave there as he was putting it, not so much a fly could get in with the tight grip that they have on this facility. how do the soldiers get out? vladimir putin said you should surrender. there's others in there, a number of civilians as well to say nothing of thousands of more around mariupol that don't have a safe passage way out. in the middle of this, we have a special intel officer on the plight there. the russians haven't provided this safe passage way, brett. that leads to the likelihood that the soldiers will have to wait it out. nobody is coming to help th

let's bring in national security correspondent jennifer griffin. she is the only u.s. tv reporter traveling with the secretary during this trip. can you give us an idea how this entire trip came together? we know president zelenskyy leaked information. but the white house would thought confirm any details given the sensitive security. reporter: when we left the united states we were told not to even tell our families we were coming. it was a very, very -- they said if anything leaked they might have to call off the trip. they we have been holding in a position inside poland on the border with ukraine while the principles went forward, and that's basically that's why we have been in a bit after huge blackout. we just had a press briefing with the secretary, and we heard some of what they told to zelenskyy. and the biggest thing is the u.s. embassy is going to be reopening in kyiv. it will start with u.s. embassy officials going back to lviv starting this week. they will start with day trips and overnight, and they will move in the next couple weeks. second terry blinken
