last year, moldova followed ukraine in electing a pro—western government.e minister if she was worried russia might pose a threat to her country, too. we are indeed concerned. if international law is violated, if agreements are not withheld, if peacekeeping mechanisms are ignored, then of course, any hypothetical scenario is possible. behind the beacon of the palanca crossing point, moldova's sparse villages have become a refuge. this man's family have taken in nine people since friday. he is one of five siblings himself.

so what we've seen is that the neighboring countries, particularly poland, moldova romania, hungry in these countries, they are setting up facilities, but these facilities will need support and humanitarian agencies like ours, like you and hcr will definitely need to reinforce the existing supplies staff capacity that we have there in the region to help with the outflow. when people have to leave their homes suddenly potentially unprepared. what do they need most was the most important thing at this time. i mean, if you can imagine even, you know, a few days ago, we couldn't imagine the scale of the devastation if you can imagine yourself in a situation where you literally have no time, you have to grab whatever you cat. so do you, if you're out and about, if you're separated from your family, what do you take with you? obviously a lot of people are trying to take their documents passports, any kind of identification cache, but, you know, it's basic supplies. it's how much can you carry on your back as you're literally forced to run for your life? and i think this is, this is why it's

the i need to have assistance in moldova. but moldova, it's mainly one of the cartridge in which we believe that the russian pressure can be increasing on the coming days. also in the west, him balance. as they announce on friday, i decided to mobilize to reserve of the l. c. operation. and up to now $500.00 mansion woman will reinforce this force on the ground. i think the countries who will be providing these the reinforcement of our capacity to control the situation in that through the operation or i think is a proven and proportionate sign of our determination to maintain their stability. and both say, well be now on face possible destabilization activity this by russia in the americans. all that shows that we have been able to react quickly and in unity almost that shows the importance of advancing towards the adoption of this is natasha compass. that when a present, it was a way to stress that that erupt niched awake for on this security and defense, they mention that that wire, further security and defense has to be mo

spoke to another woman just before i here into moldova.sing the border and here we have definitely been seeing family groups made up exclusively of women, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, travelling together without their men and a very difficult time indeed. very heartbreaking. and we see those images of children and women having to say goodbye to their husbands and fathers, to their brothers and all the men because of course men between the ages of 18 and 60 have been asked to stay behind. there is a level of uncertainty for people coming over as to how long they will stay and whether they will be able to go back in the near future.— in the near future. absolutely. almost everybody _ in the near future. absolutely. almost everybody i've - in the near future. absolutely. almost everybody i've spoken| in the near future. absolutely. l almost everybody i've spoken to in the near future. absolutely. - almost everybody i've spoken to said they don't have any clue what they are going to do next. a lot of them are going to do next. a lot of th

now to poland, but there is also the possibilities -- ukraine has a lot of borders with romania and moldovaand we have programs in those countries that can be added to support the refugee flow. so this can be work. ing fi mcan be -- the g-7 is on tuesday morning, and i'll meet with them and the central banks of the g-7, and they can decide a lot of how much aid goes into ukraine. the i.m.f. also has -- we're working with them closely to assess the needs and to think about instruments. >> brennan: is one of the decisions to be made what to do after the government falls? what will happen if this is a government in exile or this is an insurgency? does the help to the ukrainian people continue? >> i'm not at all at that point. we're not trying to look at lookat hypotheticals. we're looking to support the people of ukraine, for the people of the region. and also for the people of russia. you know, they didn't choose war. the phrase in russia is no to war. so it is not clear how this is all going to play out. one thing is, you know, the ark of history is for russia to be closer to europe. there i

moldova has just declared a national emergency. they have 26,000 people.o, very sadly, i think, you're just going to see more anre of this as the fighting increases. and keep in mind, the troops, the 190,000 troops we've been talking about on the borders of ukraine, the russian troops-- only half of them have been deployed so far. so we expect there will be other attacks from other directions. >> sreenivasan: what about the people in kyiv that you were reporting around? people who are deciding to sleep in subway stations and bomb shelters and basements? >> it's-- i think that it's been terrifying for many of them. you know, when you and i last talked, which is just a week ago, i was downtown in kyiv and it was a lovely evening and people were out at restaurants; and now it's a war zone. i talked to one parliamentarian and i said, how are things in your neighborhood? and she said, "i just had armored helicopters fly past my-- you know, fly past my window." there's another woman we know who spent the entire night in a bomb shelter, but she doesn't want to le

former soviet socialist republic of moldova. they also have a breakaway republic inside of moldova that most americans don't know about called tranistra. i can go along with steve saying the appetite for mr. putin is much bigger than that half or two-thirds of ukraine that you just talked about. maybe steve can talk about moldova as well. >> we'll talk about that in just a little bit. steve, general, stand by for one moment. back to brianna in washington. >> joining us now is democratic senator mark warner of virginia, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee. chairman, i thank you so much for joining us at this moment as we're watching this attack broadly on ukraine. what is your assessment now looking at how big this is of what the goal is, is the goal to topple the ukrainian government? >> i think it goes beyond toppling the ukrainian government. i think putin has an insatiable appetite. he wants to reconstitute a -- the former soviet union in many ways. and the -- we should point out that the american intelligence a

british foreign secretary, britain is one of the most important nato powers, seems to imply that moldova is part of nato mold of her is not part of nato. she also says we have to fight for ukraine because otherwise we will be threatened. well, nato does not have to fight few crane nato has to fight for its members states. it doesn't fight for other countries. it fights for its members states. so every one is losing their heads at the moment and are therefore, it's entirely understandable that russia should be raising the stakes in this way by saying ashley vaughan, delay on the european commission president. and i am saying that, so the, you, i'm just reading your, the quote will ban russian media outlets. that's r t and sputnik accusing us to spreading harmful dis, information. we try our best of put a balance across and we know we're licensed by off. com in the u. k. and europe, they've deemed us to be okay to license. we are, of course, going to put the russian point of view or i'd say, let's go to alive, news event nervously to bends. as so king the russian representative at the u. n

many have crossed into poland with thousands more arriving in hungary, romania, slovakia, and moldova, the you and hcr is preparing for up to 4000000 refugees. if the conflict drags on, most of the new arrivals are women and children, as ukrainian men up to 60 years old had been told to return and join the fight, volunteers, and n g o s are doing what they can to help. as in bas ravi reports from a train station in eastern poland. beyond the reaches of the russian army, refugees from ukraine arrive in the safety of poland. forced to take only what is most important, only what they can carry. here friendly faces, open arms, and as much comfort as can be had sheltering in a train station. vladimir sherman ski was working in the netherlands when the war broke out. he's waiting for his 5 sons to arrive from across the border to take them to safety. he'll then return to ukraine, where he says he will join his wife a soldier in the national army. ukrainians are prepared to die. he says before ever surrendering their country to russian president vladimir putin, i can say when you grinning lo

so you think moldova is most susceptible? >> i think in the first instance that what the model, i would assess, that putin has in mind is another state like belarus. and they are just a little further along. a compliant, obedient leadership in ukraine. and, you know, you just look at the map and you can see why this is a big deal to putin. and then you look south to moldova, that seems to be an obvious focus. >> it's scary, quite frankly. but so important to talk about, sir. really appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, brianna. >>> all right. breaking news cnn told just moments ago that u.s. intelligence is concerned that the capital of kyiv could fall to the russians within the next day to four days. there is great concern about what might be unfolding there. our next guest has been on the ground witnessing the violence firsthand. a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic counsel eurasia center. we have been doing great work. thank you. i hope you are being safe. i want people to know what is going on. this is the city

it seems to imply that moldova is part of nato motive, or is not part of nato. she also says we have to fight for ukraine because otherwise we will be threatened. well, nature does not have to fight. few great nato has to fight for its members. states, it doesn't fight for other countries, it fights for its members states. so everyone is losing their heads at the moment and are therefore, it's entirely understandable that russia should be raising the stakes in this way by saying are still yvonne delay on the european commission president. and i'm saying that, so the, you, i'm just reading your, the quote will ban russian media outlets that are to in sputnik accusing us. so spreading harmful dis information. we try our best to put a balance across. and we know we're licensed by off. com in the u. k. and europe, they've deemed us to be okay to license we're of course going to put the russian point of view. what's wrong with that? well, and what's wrong with it is that it's totalitarian. if you don't suppress media outlets, that's a basic principle. if the e u is g

for example, ali, we know that in moldova, they have set up tent cities. people are having to stay intense over there, in the cold. but over here in poland, the infrastructure is a little bit more solid for people who are coming in from ukraine. >> kelly, thank you very much. we will stick close to you through the course of the morning over there. kelly cobiella for us in eastern poland, on the ukrainian border. now joining me, is curable rick, a member of the ukrainian parliament. also, she is the leader of the political party. thank you for joining us this morning. i wanted to just read a tweet of yours that caught my attention. it is you, holding a weapon. you have said, i planned to plant tulips and daffodils in my backyard today. instead, i have learned firearms, and i'm ready for the next night of attacks on kyiv. we are not going anywhere. this is our city. this is our land, our soil. we will fight for it. next week, i can plant my flowers, here. tell me about what has happened with you in the last few days. because we are hearing these stories of e

poland, slovakia, hungary, romania, moldova. they are all expected to see a sudden influx of refugees crossing the border and in the today that started. there are huge lines and gas stations and at atms today. ukrainians are trying to fill up on gas and get cash on the way out of the country. those lines translated into bumper-to-bumper traffic on the road -- outbound traffic lined up for miles. this is a radical dislocation of what will end up being tens if not hundreds of thousands of people in a semi permanent way. it is not just a humanitarian crisis for the people directly involved. it is not just a economic races for everyone whose lives are touched by this. it is also potentially a diplomatic challenge for europe. i mean, so far and europe in the rest of the western world has been quite unified, surprisingly unified in its response to putin's aggression towards ukraine. if you were going to be critical of lots of things about the biden administration right now, uniting the world against what putin is doing is not somethin

ago that more than 100,000 people have already left their homes with a few thousand crossing into moldova in this point in time for people to just up and leave the place they've lived their entire lives and try go somewhere else? it's heartbreaking. loads of ukrainians already had emergency bags packed and their documents and water. but even the thought of leaving possibly forever into the unknown is heartbreaking. including the challenges of leaving, not enough petrol at the petrol stations, there is heavy traffic on the roads. people are challenged all the roads. people are challenged all the way through. the roads. people are challenged all the way through-— the way through. we've seen sanctions _ the way through. we've seen sanctions coming _ the way through. we've seen sanctions coming into - the way through. we've seen sanctions coming into place i the way through. we've seen - sanctions coming into place from the international community, a day enoughin international community, a day enough in your view to stop what russia is doing right now to ukraine? i russia is doing right now t

more than 40,000, as we've been hearing from lucy now, to moldova.ther 15—20,000 there, so ukraine is leaking in all directions. just to give you an image of what i can see here close to the hungarian— ukrainian border, i will try to pan slightly to the side here. so people here waiting at the roadside. most of the people here have crossed on foot this morning from ukraine, people telling me that they've waited about eight hours just to cross on foot this morning. they are also telling me, i was just speaking to a 14—year—old boy who said his father had dropped his mother and himself and himself and his sister off, he is rather obviously his father obviously having to stay and fight, and the rest of the family dropped off. and then they were waiting eight hours to cross the border to safety here on the hungarian side. the other thing to point out, these tents behind me here, there is obviously the red cross tent, this is new infrastructure built since yesterday. one of the biggest hungarian charities, the hungarian order of the maltese cross, that is

so ga, for instance, on the other side of the black sea, there are russian peacekeepers in moldova is trans, nice dressed, which is just across the border to the french west. assert potentially more actions, but i think i think it's appropriate to have some high competence that nato and click the defense. and the concrete moves that nato is been taking, moving troops to the eastern nato members, should be. it should be a solid to turn against that particular action. who now ukraine is showing unity and determination, but nevertheless, it, it does same as a david and goliath sort of battle. what chance does the ukrainian military stand against brushes, old? i think, you know, there's definitely an over match in terms of the capabilities that russia has, despite being on the offensive in the invading force. we saw that from the very beginning, with the initial strikes that opened this special military operation that preceded the troops coming across the board. i think i saw something like 160 missiles fired on ukrainian targets. and so they were able to get at some key capabilities, air
