nick: yes. we certainly see also some troops in western belarus who are just outside of western ukraine, although no evidence that they have entered ukraine yet. i'm wondering if you could talk about ukraine's resistance. i reported a few minutes ago about what ukrainian officials are saying. but what have you seen in terms of ukrainian resistance? michael: well, there's heavy fighting in some areas, particularly outside of kharkiv to the east. i think ukrainian forces may have managed to retake the airport that the russian airborne seized earlier today in the morning. and you see considerable resistance along the eastern, let's say, side of the current combat operations. but to the south, russian forces have broken out from crimea, and they're making rapid progress into ukraine, across the river past to kherson and mykolaiv and melitopol to the east. so there are areas where you see substantial russian advances at this point. nick: and, as you said, under this worst-case scenario, this is only

nick: but u.s.icials say it's the russian army that continues shelling in massive exercises in belarus. russia says it's withdrawing some troops, but senior u.s. officials say the number of russian troops increased by 7,000, and they are poised for invasion. british intelligence even tweeted what it called russia's possible axis of invasion on seven fronts. >> saddam hussein and his regime have made no effort, no effort. nick: and 19 years after one of blinken's predecessors gave a speech based on false intelligence, blinken embraced the comparison. antony blinken: i'm mindful that some have called into question our information, recalling previous instances where intelligence ultimately did not bear out. but let me be clear. i am here today not to start a war, but to prevent one. nick: preventing war requires diplomacy. in moscow, u.s. ambassador john sullivan visited the foreign ministry to receive a new russian document that said, "we welcome the readiness of the united states for appropriate cons

nick: u.s.icials have been warning about a russian false flag, essentially a russian fake story or even an act in eastern ukraine that could create the provocation for war. and we have highlighted some examples of disinformation that's currently in the russian media. are those stories in the russian media effective at conditioning the russian public perhaps ahead of war? andrew: so, i'm concerned that the sort of general argument that people are focused on is the idea that there's this drumbeat in the russian media pulling the russian people towards this war frenzy. most average russians have really tuned out the ukraine issue, and long ago basically have either decided this is a horrible issue, they'd rather not learn more about it, or they had bought into this kremlin idea that russia is being surrounded and victimized and that the u.s. is using countries like ukraine to put pressure on russia. i have no doubt that, in the event of a provocation, we would see some of these outlandish claims li

nick, how has the ukranian government reacted to president putin's decision? whether this was a move, the people hadn't seen coming all along russia stretch. she had been to try and force ukraine to re integrate those separate is controlled areas to turn those russian back separatists into ukrainian politicians as a way for moscow to guarantee its influence over ukraine as to give a veto over ukraine's aspirations. attempts to draw closer with nature in the e. u. so basically by recognizing those self proclaimed churches basic that is dead, the minsk piece purses is dead because that was all about bringing these churches back into the full ukrainian fold. pretty difficult, see if i possible, see how that could now happen, given that recognition, we've heard that russia is also going to drop various kinds of agreements on cooperation with those regions. speculation now that that would mean military cooperation, maybe even russian troops being stationed there to protect those are those territories, at the request of their a separatist leaders that would actually

nick: now, senior u.s. officials who i talk to are as concerned as they are, given the things that you're describing, and the capacities of russia that are on the border, but they do say that vladimir putin has not made a final decision yet. and, certainly, the u.s., the west, in what they say is a united way are trying to come up with a russian off-ramp. but those things that the west are offering russia are far from what russia's core demands are. so do you see any possible diplomatic off-ramp in this moment? michael: i he sadly been pessimistic all along looking some months out at this. and i have seen the likelihood for diplomacy to succeed is not very good, fairly slim. now, of course, i agree. we don't know if vladimir putin has made a decision. that's very true. is there a chance for diplomacy to succeed? well, i think the window for it is unfortunately closing, right? it's not necessarily the russia has to conduct a military operation now that they have deployed, but they do appear to be increasingl

nick, why has president zalinski agreed to talk with russia now? i think 3 important also for the you going to magic efforts, even if this doesn't reach any result, just to show that ukraine is open to negotiation is open to a deal. i think it's a question of what terms of those deals struck and also even what terms of those talks held. so the russian side today arrived in the better and prince go mo, which is just near the ukranian border. it's in the region from which attacks are still being launched on every day. and they were expecting ukraine cross the border into a country bellows, which is basically supporting the thrust of military efforts which supplies regular access to its bases. and the koreans kind of, it was expected by the russians which arrived to find some kind of capitulation and getting into russia demand. that was something ukrainian was going to agree to. i think it's an attempt by the russians to kind of show the world look ukrainian just on interesting congress because dialogue. that's why we have to fight this war because th

nick, thanks for the report. nick paton walsh there. let's turn to katie bow who is with us at the pentagon with more. what are you hearing about the troop flompt? >> yeah, so, u.s. intelligence and defense officials are closely tracking russian maneuvers in an effort to understand the scope and how this campaign is going to unfold and in some cases they're following this in real time. they're piecing together some of the same -- trying to verify some of the same open source reports that you and i and the rest of our colleagues at cnn are watching. one thing we do know that defense officials are closely watching is this movement of russian troops across the border from belarus into ukraine. this is particularly significant because of course this provides them with practically a straight shot to kyiv to the nation's capitol. and what we have heard from at least one senior u.s. lawmaker. senator marco rubio, who is the senior republican and has been receiving briefings on russian planning, he said that movement is part of russian planning

let's go to nick connelly and keith welcome. nick explained to us the significance of this latest announcement from the russian president. well, exactly the announcement as we had it last night seem to just include recognition of those separatist enclaves on the territory where they are now. they currently control the bigger cities in done yet can the hans most the population but only about a 3rd of the area of the regions respectively of done yet kalonski, the 2 thirds that remain are under control of ukrainian government here in care of and basically that frontline hasn't moved since 2015 since the high point of that conflict. so by saying explicitly that russia a recognizes supports the aspiration or the claim to those for the territories. that opens the doors to potentially russian troops that are now moving into their separate cell areas, supporting their separatists in an attack on ukrainian troops to extend their control to entire, to those regions. right, so on that, let's talk about what you've been hearing from those 2
