general jack keane is with us today. i have a question for you.t in terms of looking at the map now, what happens if and when russia territory gets bigger? what happens for putin? >> well putin, as we all know, this is about his personal legacy. that's why he wants to bring this land, ukraine, back under the orbit of russia. something he believes was a historic mistake to ever become an independent state. certainly he was aghast in 2014 when the very people we are talking about here, the ukrainian people, ran his student out, who fled to russia peter wasn't the military that dead ed, there was nobody shooting at him, it was the people that did it. the size and scale of their demonstrations against him ran him out of there. and ever since then, despite free anti-russian government that came into power after putin's stooge was run out, every one of those governments has turned to the west and not to the east. he believes that his presence in eastern ukraine after annexing crimea would actually put so much pressure on the ukraine government that they

let's bring in general jack keane. fox news senior strategic analyst, former vice chief of staff of the army and chairman of the institute for the study of war. general, very good to have you with us this afternoon. your reaction to what we just heard from national security adviser jake sullivan in terms of the time frame and the intensity and urgency of what he's talking about now. >> yeah, clearly i think what is happening is certainly they have additional information that is indicating that it's -- there's a likelihood of a russian invasion in the next few days or sometime next week. that's number 1. i don't think they necessarily have intercepted an order from putin to his generals or anything. it's still likely an analysis and conclusion that they've come to with all of the events that have taken place and where the troop dispositions are and what they're doing and how close they are to the border. that's one thing. the second thing that has happened, the diplomatic phase has ended. it ended yesterday by a couple

want to bring in general jack keane and dan hoffman. joey jones retired u.s.e and fox news contributor. gentlemen, welcome to our coverage. we have seven or eight minutes left in our program today. general, start with you. what are you hearing since we last spoke 90 minutes ago? where are we? >> well, pretty much the same. four axis of advance certainly into ukraine proper itself. some of that resistance is having some impact on the russian advance but the outcome is predictable. they will be able to achieve all of their military objectives. it is just a question of time is a factor here. ukraine military doesn't -- they have the will to be sure and they have a fair amount of skill but they just don't have the capabilities and resources that the russians have. the thing that i have always said that where putin is involved i believe in a little bit of a strategic overreach here and one of the factors i think that it will undermine him rather seriously is the same thing that happened to him in 2014. remember, it was the people of ukraine that threw out his stoog

general keane is not the only one concerned. nato allies worried ukrainian president zelensky leaving his country this weekend to attend that munich security conference in germany. to jennifer griffin at the pentagon. so jennifer, what are you hearing? >> charles, very grave concern right now that all of the pieces for a large scale invasion are in position. we have commercial satellite imagery. you don't have to have specialized intelligence to know what has been arrayed on ukraine's borders. you have up to 190,000 troops. it's the missile units, the numbers of war planes, fourth and fifth generation war planes. it's all of the tanks put in position and all eyes on the nuclear exercises when putin is there. it's also putin's words themselves. we heard that putin has called up the russian reserves. we were told to look at that as an indication that he would need an occupation force if he went with the invasion. we see him standing next to lukashenko of belarus. there's indication that putin will move military equipment behind th

and as jack keane and jennifer laid out, does he continue. i think there's some realities here that he does confront. as always, he's setting out to make russian great again. he's also done along the way, make nato great again. he's the greatest gift to nato since the end of the cold war. i was just at the munich security conference. i have never seen the unity that we saw there except back during the cold war when office speechwriter for the allied commander of europe. i was very critical of the decision to withdraw from afghanistan and the conduct of that withdrawal. but i do feel that the administration in this case has done quite an impressive job in conveying the reality on the ground in the sense taking intelligence and quickly turns it into information for the public and also gathering the nato allies, the e.u. countries, the u.k. together. you can see an impressive array of sanctions announced by the german chancellor. nord stream 2 is on hold. the prime minister of the u.k. has announced sanctions. president biden various sanctions a

let's bring in general jack keane, former vice chief of staff of the united states army.al, i want to talk to you about the evacuation potential. i'd love for you to respond to steve harrigan's report there. i'm hearing that as well. that people in the ukraine feel an invasion is not imminent, so you have these competing forces of this massive build-up around their borders from russia, a lot of alarm on the u.s. side and some on nato's -- from nato's perspective. and even from president zelensky, there's an effort to tamp down the tension and anxiety over this. >> yeah, well, we have to recognize that the people of the ukraine are conditioned by the fact that they've been dealing with putin and his forces since 2014. we're talking about eight years now. this goes back to when he annexed crimea and when he put forces in to eastern you're crane all in 2014. he continues with harassment. there's 14,000 casualties as a result of it. so i think that's a different mindset entirely. when the drum beats of war are beating certainly, but they're conditioned to this. many of them h

>> martha: general jack keane is here with us.gree with the president's assessment that it is very close and that an attack or an invasion by russia and ukraine could happen in the next few days? >> yes, i'm associated with the institute for study of war. their assessment is similar. we're on two paths here. one is a diplomatic path where the russians are trying to extract concessions from us and obviously when you're in the 11th hour like we're prone to be here, i strongly suspect the likelihood of those concessions of becoming more real in the minds of putin. but also, while he's disclaiming he's not conducts an invasion and in fact he's sending his troops home, he's lying again. the administration has come forward again with the facts that he's moved 7,000 troops in to the area, attack helicopters, more combat aircraft, medical units and blood units as well. certainly the tank bridge that jennifer mentioned, all of those leads to one conclusion, that he's planning to conduct an invasion in the next several days. that's kind of

as general jack keane established. ukrainians citizens are resisting am keep if mind they had double digits numbers of brigades and partisan brigades. will the military and the citizen fight? we are have the answer. what we are going to see is russian frustration. i suspect they will start going after ukrainian infrastructure to take down the power infrastructure. the electric generator and the telecom's. as general jack keane identified they have not completely taken out the ukrainian air force.s. as general jack keane identified they have not completely taken out the ukrainian air force. this is already difficult for the russians. that's a military commander's worst nightmare. in baghdad the people applauded. there was resistance. at the end of the day we were an army of liberation in iraq. they didn't like saddam hussein. he was a dictator. a brutal one. now you have a half-life. they are here. they are the nazis entering poland in world war ii. ironically to have putin say he is mounting de-nazifying the country le
