shannon. >> shannon: peter doocy from the white house peer thank you. for a first-hand account of the ukrainian point of view on tonight's of elements, let's bring in a member of ukraine's parliament, alexi gunter and cho. he has life in kiev or it is thursday morning. can you tell us how you're doing tonight and what is the mood there in the city? >> hello. cannot say good morning. there are explosions in the city. our military infrastructure, reports are bound. and it is not only about kiev, it is odessa, the big cities of the country and in smaller too. there is a false grant ohmic scale attack on ukraine using heavy artillery and rockets. that is the situation. can address the american society now. i want to to push your government to the top as possible sanctions against putin now. i'm speaking about please, richard push them out of the global economy. ban on russian oil and gas. something which can stop russia because more than half of russia's budget is oil and gas. that is all. that is just a very -- and it should be stopped now because they are

for the latest on the biden administration's response, we turn to peter doocy who's live at the white house. peter, what has been the reaction thus far after president biden's appearance today at the press conference where you got a few really good questions in? the response from some of your colleagues -- i know you all talk -- about the president's inability to really give us answers about what china's response has been to this. and even india's response has been to russia's aggression. >> peter doocy: it's interesting. the response, once you -- especially once you go back and figure out what people are asking of the president versus the press secretary is that a lot of folks did not getting the answers they were looking for from the president because they had to follow up with basically the same exact questions to jen psaki which is why isn't the president doing more? why isn't he sanctioning vladimir putin directly? what's really remarkable about the president's event earlier today, earlier this afternoon, he basically said, we're going to stick with the sanctions, even though we

peter doocy tracking the white house response. tomlinson is on the ground with what's happening in western ukraine. we begin tonight in the middle of it all again tonight from kyiv. what is the latest there, steve? >> steve: several loud explosions here in kyiv. one major fireball, unconfirmed reports that a ukrainian fire jet was shot out of the sky with a surface-to-air russian missile. what is clear, the debris of the plane set a building on fire. the firefighters sent to build that out. the big question here is at this point seems to be when, not if they'll arrive here in the capital. according to defense officials, they say the forces are now 20 miles away. 20 miles of tanks and armored vehicles outside of the capital. as far as the president goes, he says that russian sabotage teams are already inside the capital. he said that he and his family are targets number one and two. the president of ukraine said his death will be the destruction according to russia. he's coming to kill him and kill his family. here's zelensky. >> a

let's bring in peter doocy. the white house is asking congress, we understand, for billions of dollars in aid for ukraine. >> $6.4 billion, which they say will be for humanitarian assistance for ukraine and nato allies that they think might be in trouble with food and does not. also, for efforts to counter russia's cyberattacks and misinformation -- that is with what we know president biden promised -- they had a 40 minute phone call earlier today. on the call, biden promised humanitarian, economic, and security assistance, but we know that there is a limit to what the united states is offering the ukrainians. under no circumstances will joe biden, while he is president, send american troops into ukraine to fight russians. they are going to send more troops to nato and nato forces have been activated for the first time to make sure that, if putin is going to take over ukraine, but that's where it ends. they have basically admitted that the sanctions that they have been focusing on so much are not meant to deter

peter doocy is at the white house. but we can with trey yingst at the ukrainian capital of kiev is about 8:00 p.m. what is it like? >> good afternoon the russian defense ministry said they've hit over 1000 ukrainian military targets. but they haven't talked about the civilian targets getting hit by russian missile threat the city entrapped the country referred air raid sirens like benjamin and levin has heard the capital under attack. going for cover whenever ended ever they can. this comes as russian missiles in the past two days have hit significant infrastructure, not only in the city but across the country. you mentioned the oil depot south of kiev causing flames in the air and blow up the entire night sky. yesterday morning there was an apartment complex that was sent here killing two people after the russian missile slammed into the residential building. we hear these reports of fighting outside of the city often sporadic gunfire as those ukrainian forces tried to push back the russian troops attempted to enter t

peter doocy, thank you. we'll cover it as it happens. here is a retired u.s. general and author of the book hunting the caliphate. america's war on isis and the dawn of the strike cell. general, thank you for being with me. i don't know if you can hear peter doocy then but there was a line that talked about we're waiting to see what the white house would do if they want to wait out and see if putin will make a bigger move. what's bigger than invading a nation? >> good morning, harris. obviously invading a nation is huge and this is a time we need to get behind our president and we as americans get behind the country on this. what we're seeing is an unprovoked attack by russia, a powerful nation, against a less powerful nation ukraine. and there are a number of things we can be doing. >> harris: like what? what are we not doing general that we should be doing at this point? are sanctions really going to work? i've had other generals tell me they may not be fast enough this time. we need something more expeditious. what is your plan? >> i concur. sanctions were

peter doocy will also join us with more from the white house.ked joe biden a number of questions. rolled out another round of sanctions today during his speech. how that will be effect off or not? he said we will see in 30 days. he did miss the mark in a big way. take the look. >> my administration is using every tool to protect american families and businesses from rising prices at the gas pump. we are taking active steps to bring down the cost. american oil and gas companies should not exploit this moment to hike their prices. >> is he threatening a nuclear strike? >> i have no idea what he is threatening. i know what he's done number 1. number 2, no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening. >> you said in recent weeks the big nations can't bluff when it comes to something like. this you said the idea of personally sanctioning president putin was on the table. is that a step you are prepared to take? >> it's not a bluff. it's on the table. >> why not sanction him today. >> last question! >> [shouting questions]. >> mr. pre

>> shannon: peter doocy, thank you very much.e are going to check in now, bret baier is with us as we digest all of this information leading up to this now -- here we are at this moment i think you have a couple -- >> bret: we are monitoring social media and all of these people weighing in from around the world. you're getting a lot of interesting comments from democrats, republicans on capitol hill that world leaders as well. a little taste here, this is the chairman of the foreign relations committee, the senate foreign relations committee bob menendez from new jersey. "this unprovoked attack has brought into sharp focus the need to expel the current kremlin leadership from the international community. today must mark a historical shift in how the world views and deals with the despot in moscow." pretty clear there. representatives rogers, mccall, and turner, the top republicans in the house services committee "the last few hours have laid bare for the world to witness the true evil that is vladimir putin. "senator mark warner

>> bret: peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thanks.et's take a closer look what the russians are doing militarily. you heard a little bit from the foreign minister there in ukraine heading to ukraine. national security correspondent jennifer griffen at the pentagon tonight. good evening, jennifer. >> good evening bret. this was not shock and awe last night but senior defense officials warn this is just the initial phase. putin has used only a small portion of the forces he has a raid on ukraine's borders. what we can report tonight is that russian forces began by attacking on three axes from the south, from the north and knepper river which by sects the country. from the north russian forces moved south to ukraine's second largest city kharkiv heavy fighting tonight and assault on that city of 2 million. then and most important two lines of attack from belarus with russian soldiers on route to the capital kyiv some russian forces just 45 minutes outside the capital attempting to take that strategic cargo air base that minister kuleba d

bret: peter doocy life. thank you. that's forget the british and passenger to the united states dane karen pierce. thank you for being here. it is a dangerous time, how do you perceive this what putin is trying to do and how the world was responding. >> people are coming out in support of ukraine people around the world in places like libya, even in asia had been moved by what they see at the ukrainian existence. nobody at the un voted with russia on the security council resolution. i think people are seen a false narrative that jen psaki was referring to. bret: if you look at the protest in berlin, 100,000 plus in the streets of berlin. we have images of that. we have the german chancellor coming out saying it is time to not only funneling weapons but also increase germany's defense budget. this is changed the dynamic in your neck of the woods. >> that's exactly right. those around putin should be evaluating at this point what his actions are doing outside of ukraine. bringing nato together has brought the u.s. and eu

. >> harris: peter doocy live at the white house. know if you caught general kellogg a couple of minutes ago act 1, russia, act 2, russia, act 3, potentially russia and we'll get in on the game. we are already behind according to the general. >> something else he said was sanctions take too long. the white house obviously disagrees. they are telling us more sanctions are coming today against russia. but there are some republican lawmakers in town very skeptical that that will be enough to stop what is coming next. senator marsha blackburn says vladimir putin wants nothing more than to return to the days of the old soviet union and made it clear he will attack the national security of the west and our partners to make it happen. there are some democrats who seem to agree. >> we see the biden administration impose sanctions on anyone doing business or involved with these breakaway regions. but we need to go further. >> germany now says that after yesterday they are not going to let putin pump oil directly to europe via the nord stream

thanks very much, peter doocy. following how the white house plans to address all of the above. we want to go to general patard, author of "the caliphate." general, help me with what you see vladimir putin doing. i caught this shop with his top two generals. they didn't look thrilled to be there. he didn't look thrilled for them to be there either. i wonder what you think is going on inside russia. >> good afternoon, neil. obviously the russian forces have lost operational momentum. what i believe vladimir putin and his generals are going to try to do is regain that operational momentum and initiative. what they didn't expect is the ukrainian soldiers and people to resist like they're resisting and defending their country. they have the will to fight, the ukrainians. the russian troops have lower morale. they do have capability. they still have lethality. so i think what we'll see from putin and the russian forces will be an escalation of more blunt type of tactics. they hoped i believe to take major cities of ukraine without much of a fight. so they did something that was diffe

peter doocy has that angle covered.d evening, peter. >> to the point about sanctions, the white house is admitting it's going to take about a month for them to really bite putin. no longer talking about sanctions as a way to deter a russian invasion. they are talking about sanctions as a punishment for an invasion. so i asked the white house press secretary today, what's up with that? >> saying the sanctions will have an impact on russia. but what good does it do these people in ukraine? the u.s. intel assessment that kyiv is going to fall any day. >> peter, where the largest provider of humanitarians assistance, security assistance in the world. the president is doing nearly everything in his power to lead the world and stand up against the actions of president putin. >> we know president biden started his day with a virtual meeting of nato members. nato leaders. then right afterwards he got on the phone for 40 minutes with the ukrainian president zelenskyy. we don't know what they filled the full 40 minutes with but t

peter doocy, thank you so much.ere now is ian bremmer, group president and author of the upcoming "the power of crisis." you heard our conversation there with our very own peter doocy, white house correspondent. if he gets his throat slit, zelenskyy, that's got to weigh heavily on the president of the united states so so far has given stinger missiles and anti-tank weaponry and some sanctions but besides that i don't think rallying the world while the world does nothing really means much. do you agree? >> well, it doesn't mean enough to stop putin, right? i mean, he has not been deterred. and the question is there anything plausible that the americans and their allies could have done that would have stopped putin and i have to tell you that, on the basis of the fact that there was no one plausible in the democratic or republican leadership that was saying that ukraine should be brought into nato or that they should be provided with american forces to defend them and no other allies were saying that either. in terms

peter doocy asked the president if he underestimated putin. joe did not look pleased. take a look. >> [muffled audio]. >> do you think you under-estimated putin? >> thank you. >> sean: the answer, let me pick at me teeth. joe biden did say in 2020 you're absolutely right and on a number of occasions, peter i am the only one that went toe to toe with putin. under his watch as vice-president, we know what happened with putin and crimea and with zero experience hunter to get an investigator fired for visiting his son. he knows all of the players here. -- investigating. >> i know the president heard me. i heard him making a joke about my question. he said for people on zoom, oh did i under-estimate putin? after a full day of being away from the cameras and after the white house announced tomorrow's schedule, i said what is the president doing? will he be pulled into the situation room late at night if ukraine invades like the secretary of state says will happen by morning. the president is being briefed by his national security team. this is a crisis not just happening ove

peter doocy is live at white house tonight.rter: despite all those sound bites, officials are no longer trying to use sanctions to deter putin, they are uses sanctions to punish him. if this is it, the financial punishments bit by bit, ukrainians are saying, they want a lot more. >> i will not be a diplomatic. ? countries are trying to leave loopholes, exclude a number of banks to apply measure with their left-hand and continue to parade with russia with their right hand, stop do this now. reporter: this afternoon, i pinged that they were raising nuke. >> we're affirm that a nuclear war cannot be run, and jen psaki said she believes this about nuclear readiness is following a trend. >> this is really a pattern that we've seen from president putin through the course of this conflict, which is manufacturing threats that don't exist to justify further aggression. global community and american people should look at it through that prism. reporter: there are speculation that putin could be motivated by declining mental or physical h

we have peter doocy at the white house jennifer griffin life from the pentagon. lucas thomason in lviv in ukraine but we start with trey yingst on the ground in kyiv where they are fiercely defending their homeland for russian invaders, trait. >> good evening. air raid sirens sound once again in the ukrainian capitol of kyiv it. as troops and siblings alike try to push back this russian offense of, some ominous words from the mayor of kyiv's amazing evacuations are no longer possible. he said people will have to stay put and fight back against the russians. moving forward, the critical part for the city will be the continued support of the international community. they are looking not only here in the capitol, but across the country for tougher sanctions on russia. and also defensive weapons in the form of antitank missiles and antiaircraft batteries. just yesterday, russian missiles slammed into an apartment building here killing at least two people in overnight an oil depot south of the city was hit also with a russian missile. officials are warning civilians w

i want to play back and forth between our own peter doocy and the president and get your response. >>r confident that these devastating sanctions are going to be as devastating as russian missiles and bullets and tanks? >> yes. russian bullets, missiles, and tanks in ukraine. yes, i am. >> trace: yes, i am. russian bullets, missiles, and tanks in ukraine. that's a bold statement and if you're the ukrainian president right now watching that, you have to be a little taken aback. >> i think biden, you know, he's very confused actually. he's all over the place. this was a press conference that was a train wreck in many respects. the reality is that sanctions are not going to stop russian tanks rolling into the capital city of kyiv, another ukrainian decision. the sanctions the president spoke about the day, they the toughest sanctions that could be implemented. as we know, russia will not be eliminated from the swift international system as a result of the sanctions. basically, biden is kowtowing to european opposition sanctions, the germans are moving towards moscow because it's so heavy

peter doocy, thank you very much. as promised, and our econ panel is joining us not to digest this moment. stephen moore, robert wells. i like to tell everybody that you use to run ups. but he also oversaw the major bank globally. big discussion today obviously is sanctions. and whether or not the president is going far enough with the sanctions he just imposed on russia. >> i thought obviously your conversation with bret and neil covered a lot of it. it's not up to president biden. the swift bank is neutral. it's run by the g10 plus the european central bank. so there is actually over 25 more members as you mentioned. so it's not something that president biden can just put the hammer on and say yes, we are unilaterally banning them. that would be the hammer as well as combining it with control, which i would say president biden -- did not go fully there because fully there would be where we have export control, banning everything the u.s. does and everything russia is importing that has any u.s. type. we still have a

white house correspondent peter doocy joins us live from the north lawn with that part of the story. good evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. we learned this afternoon that president biden is no longer trying to get out in front of vladimir putin and just punish him to make it impossible doing anything moving forward. instead the president's plan is punish putin bit by bit. >> russia just announced it is carving out a big chunk of ukraine. >> and this is only the beginning. based on recent movements of russian military and medical supplies. >> you don't need blood unless you plan on starting a war. >> the president's plan to stop putin in his tracks financial punishment on russian banks and oligarchs. >> i agreed to meet russian foreign minister sergey lavrov this week but only if russia did not invade ukraine. enough to that we see the invasion is beginning and russia has made clear russia's wholesale rejection of diplomacy it does not make sense to go forward with that meeting at this time. >> republican critics are not impressed. >> joe biden is not going it toe to toe with puti

arthel: peter doocy live at the white house, thanks peter. meanwhile the u.s.nd its european allies taken the dramatic step to financially cut off vladimir putin and russians oligarchs by expelling some russian banks from the swift financial system. how does this new sentient worked and what effect will it have? let's bring in liz she's the claimant count on a foxbusiness also with us is jim walsh international security expert and senior research associate at mit security studies program. so first if you could, liz, break down how this works? how sanctions could impact putin, the ruble, his economy as well as his oligarchs? could? it already is pretty want to make a moment the stock exchange open about nine and half hours it's going to be widely watched because it could plummet even further than it did on thursday but down a third of a percent because of what we saw yesterday specifically yesterday would confirm that russia would be kicked off at least some of its banks not all but some of its banks would be kicked off what is a major financial chokepoint for g

let's go to peter doocy at the white house right now. is back and forth on sanctions, whether they are strong enough and whether these new measures targeting vladimir putin are going to do enough. peter, what are you hearing russian mark >> we are hearing, neil that the latest is that president biden is not going to talk to vladimir putin anytime soon. not while he's in the early stages of this invasion. but, as i just found out from those white house press secretaries, that does not mean that the u.s. and russia are not working together in big ways. listen to this. >> the state department, the u.s. and russia, there are still some areas in which the fulfillment of our national security priorities and imperatives require us to engage and coexist. how is it that we are still engaging and coexisting with the russians? >> up here, i would say that diplomacy around the world requires us to engage with countries, even where we have strong disagreements. strong opposition, strong condemnations. we have been very outspoken and taking actions aga

more from the white house, our very own peter doocy.he $10 million question today, and that was, with all the sanction they put in place, the one sanction that would hurt putin the most, a sanction on oil and gas and energy, they didn't do that to putin, they did not do that to russia. why not? >> the way they see it, it's going to cost americans so much more at the pump just with these sanctions that they put in place over the last three days. they think sanctioning the russian energy market and mass would be too disruptive, and jen psaki has been asked -- once by me yesterday, and buy something else today "what about increasing domestic energy production?" she did not -- they don't see that as being a biden administration thing. they see that is something that an oil company should address if they want to. "there's a lot of unused leases on different parts of the oil-producing lands in the united states, so if you have a question -- talk to the oil and gas company." this is a complex issue, but that doesn't sound like it's going to ha

peter doocy from the white house. he is spectacular. the administration added some sanctions they sort of share a common theme to go after oligarchs rich guys, not vladmir putin himself, banks, lending that sort of thing, it seem to be focused on the money, doesn't. reporter: it is focused on the money. they are not going into russia to drop all sanctions they can to stop further movement. they will escalate as russia escalates. officials here flirted with the concept of a meeting between biden and putin. we're told that is off even though putin is on camera today saying he is still up for a chat [speaking in native tongue] reporter: so he is saying one thing but doing another. sanctions from the u.s., uk, germany, japan, australia and others on be russian banks and elites have not led the russian leader to back down as widespread reporting reveals that many russian interests spent the last few years reducing exposure to western banks anyway. so the impact there may not be what the biden white house wants and the impact here is somethin

stated by an washington peter doocy. ter i would say you have some interesting news on thoughts about vladimir putin's mental state and health generally. >> this is not just wild speculation. this is based upon intelligence assessments that are to classify for lawmakers to share broadly that republicans and democrats are walking up to the edge of saying something is not right with vladimir putin. it started with marco rubio, the top republican on senate until. i wish i could share more but for now i see it's pretty obvious to many that something is up with putin. he's always been a killer but his problem is different and significant. it would be a mistake to assume he would react the same way he would have five years ago. that is top republican on intel. a few hours ago the top democrat the chairman was asked about that. >> i will not comment on the specific intelligence. what we do know over the last couple of years putin has been more isolated. he is not been the kremlin for most part is dock outside of moscow. >> it is

john. >> sandra: peter doocy if you no reaction from the white house in this moment.y. we are all just trying to digest what we are hearing. tomlinson over there reporting for us. just thought putin's ukraine was never a true nation. i am reading the words of france's foreign minister right now at a parliamentary hearing earlier today saying that "recognizing the two breakaway regions which he is doing would be an attack without weapons." do you expect that we will get any further response from the white house as we work our way into the afternoon here, peter? >> we do expect a response, and part of that might be to come out informally say that the president is not going to meet with putin anymore. they were calling separately. president biden and president putin. and macron claimed and the white house said that this was true, that he set up a meeting. but the way that the u.s. described it is putin just could not take any aggressive action. so when they are talking about a meeting, it's not like somebody from the white house rushed out to switzerland to do a site sur

after the president's address, he faced tough questions from our peter doocy. >> peter: did you underestimatend would you describe him the way you did in the summer as a worthy adversary? >> president biden: at the time, he was, i made it clear as an adversary and said he was worthy, i didn't underestimate him. he has larger ambitions that ukraine, he wants to reestablish the former soviet union. >> republicans are hammering biden for letting putin -- >> crown jewels are belarus, he has that, ukraine, he's takeing that and next are baltics, joe biden has been all bark and no bite. everything he's provided has been too little, too late, no expectation, he would be better in terms of deterrence when it comes to those countries. >> griff: 56% of voters say biden is not being tough enough and 29% say he has it about right. carley. >> carley: griff, thank you. we'll check back in with mike tobin now. air raid sirens are going off in lviv. mike, what are you seeing and experiencing right now? >> mike: well, 12:21, the air-raid sirens started going off and lasted -- they just wrapped up right now. t

here with more from the white house peter doocy is with us. i found it weak and baring the minor sanctions on the two providences. i didn't understand the white house saying we are sending 3,000 troops over to europe and putting 8,500 troops on a heightened state of preparedness. what would that mean? absolutely nothing. was that for show? >> not sure if it it was for show, but it was interesting do see president biden who cancelled a trip to delaware for president's day to stay off camera all day long. he had high level meetings with the secretary of state and the intel chief. the only time we saw him was a tweet they put out where he was signing those very limited sanctions that do not really go as far as they promised. the president who said there were going to be swift and severe consequences is going to announce new sanctions tomorrow on moscow want . the reason we haven't seen him they are trying to get everybody on board. he is trying to get allies to sign on to the statement with him -- something very interesting. as we have been heari

thank you very much for that, peter doocy. you can understand the confusion. peter elaborated on here, from vladmir putin quoting here, i did not say our troops would go there immediately. that seems to belie that he has not sent troops in there or he could be referring to the build-up along the ukrainian border many months ago. that troops were not going to go in there immediately. indeed they have not. now the big question is, is he saying they're not in there now because that means that no troops are in there. there is no invasion going an. it's a mess. no one knows. it is all in the interpretation, right? so far the oil markets have decided it is still scary. they're bidding up the price of oil again, nat gas, almost everything energy related again. to that part of the story. phil flynn what do you make of all this? >> oil prices are reacting headline to headline what is coming out of ukraine. the market realizes, neil this could be the most significant event to impact energy prices probably in a generation if not more. if you look what is happening, when y

peter doocy is following the story and live at the white house this morning. hi, peter. >> bill: after president biden came out yesterday to warn that a possible conflict with russia could lead to an increase in energy prices here in the united states, the press secretary came out to clarify the president is not making foreign policy decisions based on the prospect of higher gas prices. so they are clear about that. but that's about all that they're clear on. this is an administration, the biden team, that has warned for a long time about russian disinformation and possible false flag operations. so they are trying to figure out right now and struggling to figure out what exactly is true. >> we have not yet verified that. we have not yet verified the russian military units are returning to their home bases. indeed, our analysts indicate they remain very much in the threatening position. >> fox news has been told u.s. intel assessments are putin has been putting troops in firing range of ukraine for the last five or six days. >> i think it's hard to know exactly

. >> martha: one last thing, peter doocy asked about how this would hit the u.s. economy.sident biden's answer said this won't last a long time. >> [laughing]. two things that were surprising. one was his comment about china. he didn't want to talk about what he was telling the chinese. this will be painful for you too. if you continue to support this thug killing innocent ukrainians we will put costs on you. i was surprised there. second, this may well drag on for longer than president biden said. he could he could deter this and when president trump left and the smart guys were in charge and putin would fear them. that's not true. this will go on longer than president biden allows and he won't do the things he could do. turning on american energy across the world to reduce the cost to americans here at home. >> martha: a massive change in energy policy would get a lot of attention. thank you very much. secretary pompeo. the attacks under way 5,000 miles away in ukraine. now felt here. a live look at the dow. it's well off its lows but took a serious hit on the rising of

peter doocy at the white house with more. what next from the president, peter?ent biden was open to the idea of a meeting with putin down the line as long as he did not invade ukraine. while that hasn't happened yet, the events over the last few hours may be putting a biden putin sit-down in jeopardy. who will happen next is a very narrowly targeted group of sanctions. she said this. president biden will issue an executive order that will prohibit new investment, trade and financing by u.s. persons to, from or in the so-called dnr and lnr regions of ukraine. this eo will provide authority to impose sanctions on any person determined to operate in those areas of ukraine. it is president's day. the president chose to be here instead of delaware as expected. we understand that he's been working the phone and meeting with advisers. we've seen the secretary of state going in, the defense secretary, the head of the cia. so far nothing on camera from the president. there is a possibility that that could come, but as of right now, we're not expecting anything. neil? >>
