and what will ukraine to -- and what will ukraine do? will it work to liberate the boss and crimea -- dumb boss -- don bass and crimea? mr. yermak: especially when you are fighting this war against one of the biggest armies in the world. i have the following position, let's talk about specific things against this war, adopted after this war. every minute, every hour, then you still need a lot of things to win. [indiscernible] the chief of the army is doing his job and given the opportunity for everyone in the world to make their opinions and decisions. i keep the same addition. john: we have a question from ira strauss, "would this war have been over already if the west had? provided for batch weapons before it started? -- provided all of the right weapons? how soon would it be over if we provided all of the necessary weapons now?" mr. yermak: i don't understand the question. can you repeat it. john: the question is -- you provided a long list of weapons you think crane needs -- you think ukraine needs. if we had provided all of those th

and we are supporting ukraine because ukraine is right. and we cannot accept that there would be the result, which is not saving to the ukrainian side. it's up to ukraine to decide on that. missy: you say it's up to ukraine, mr. president. but at the same time, there is a possibility the agreement in ukraine, if there is a negotiated settlement between president zelensky and president putin, between russia and ukraine, could impact european security in a significant way. for example, if there was a scenario where putin believes that his military offensive had led him to advance his political objectives, sort of neutralize ukraine as a threat, that that would encourage him to take further steps in georgia, in moldova or a different state, is -- even a nato's state, is that something you're worried about as well? the outcome of the ukraine conflict could actually lead to greater likelihood of war between nato and russia in the future? president levits: we know that it is not only an attack to ukraine. it is an attack to democratic europe, to

forces continued the taxes across ukraine, south and east, and a ukraine army chief has warned that russian troops are preparing to stall the capital. a warning this report contains images. some viewers may find distressing. the people of your pin just outside give our leaving their city has become the latest front line moved on us. there's a huge column right now around $200.00 men up to 50 light armored vehicles. several tanks, literally 2 kilometers from here on the main street of your pain. after negotiations for a safe evacuation route out of european failed, many of the city's inhabitants decided to flee to the capitol. europeans, mayor, said 8 civilians were killed on sunday alone. many are angry at the west for not stepping in to tell the whole world that they should help. why aren't they helping the americans and the british? where are the plains shout to the world, get every one to help france germany, britain should help young. i live with guy, far to the east of give in ukraine's 2nd largest city. her give the emergency hospital is full of wounded civilians. most of us i

garrison control ukraine. much larger than the force he sent to invade ukraine at the moment. and then there would be the risk of guerilla warfare. remember what happened in afghanistan in the 1980s it could be a similar situation where a steady flow of body bags home is going to undermine putin's role. so i don't understand how he thinks this is going to work out. my best guess is he was deluded, basically drinking his own cool aid and he thought that the russians would be welcomed as liberators from the quote/unquote noo nazis and drug addicts that he claims rule in kyiv and would welcome the russian army. so i don't understand how he thinks he is going to win a long-term victory here. he can certainly inflict horrible death and destruction. he can certainly destroy ukrainian cities. but i don't see how he controls ukraine in the long-term. host: back to our phone lines and talk to john from florida on the republican line. good morning. caller: hi. thank you for taking my call. so i have a question in 2008.

the official said china wanted to see a peaceful settlement in ukraine. ukraine's human rights monitor has accused russian forces of using phosphorus bombs, and an attack on a city in a don. this region, phosphorus weapons are heavily restricted by international law. the allegations have not been verified. the mayor of the southern ukrainian city of the neighbourhood num has reportedly been kidnapped by russian forces. it's the 2nd case of a mayor allegedly being seized. and the head of the international monetary fund has warned that russia may default on its foreign debt, but says it would not trigger a global financial crisis. hundreds of thousands of people across europe have rallied against russia's invasion of ukraine and the german capital berlin. 60000 of them attended a peace march, organized by trade unions. they gathered near the brandenburg gate the symbol of a divided germany during the cold war. ah leon pack streets in berlin as thousands marched for peace and ukraine on fines and banners. they demanded solidarity but the ukrainian people gotcha politics though the alleged

. ukraine has a pretty small air force. so i think it would be quite a significant sign, and ukraine has demanded many times that the nato would a in store a no fly zone. effectively, meaning that nato would engage in disguise over ukraine. that's with nato has refused. this could be a way out of without engaging nato troops in this war, which is something, as i've said, that nato is really trying to pretty attending to the humanitarian effort now. and of course today the humanitarian satisfied to allow for evacuations. there have been reports that people are already starting to leave those areas. is this see far more likely to hold than the one that was planned for yesterday? likely in as a something is that's very hard to operate with now. we haven't heard that it had has been broken yet. that's already a good sign. and we've also heard that it seems as if people have already been moved out of there. however, all of this leaves confirmation on the one side. and it needs confirmation by the ukranian authorities. the fact t

ukraine, sovereign ukraine, mostly russian speakers are hating this putin regime. i don't know what putin thinks what is the calculation, because he is living in a nightmare. he is living in a great illusion about ukraine. he doesn't understand anything about ukraine. and of course ukraine and society you see it in small towns and villages how they greet the russian occupiers. and it's unthinkable for us that, you know, we come back to any kind of totalitarian regime. ukrainian democratic traditions is very strong. it's going back to centuries, to 17th century, to 16th century, even back to middle ages. ukrainian political identity, political culture has always been focused on anti-tyrannical values. and that's what makes it so different from the russian political culture. >> right. we're almost out of time, but i wanted to ask you this. and of course the fact is there was no reason for this invasion. putin claimed that his concern is nato expansion. but i know you said it's not about nato expansion. it's about russian expansion. what did you mean by that? >> i mea

these ukraine retake ground and leave rush us plans for lightning offensive in ruins. ukraine says it has sunk a russian supply ship audience as intelligence reports say it as we've taken ground elsewhere. but the price paid by ukraine's population has been high. also coming up u. s. presidential biden wants russia kicked out of the g 20 as nato g 7. and you leaders try to increase pressure on moscow and support the people of ukraine and feeding refugees instead of fighting at the front. if i take the gun, i will be like just the, one of the war soldiers in the world. but if i take the knife and then go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best in the world. ah, i'm assuming someone's gonna glad you could join us. we start with some signs of ukrainian forces, gaining ground and pushing back. russian forces. intelligence reports, a ukraine has retaken ground west of kias and destroyed a ship in russian hel territory. when russia launched its invasion, a month ago, it expected to take ukraine in a lightning offensive against all odds. ukrainian forces continued to keep one of the world's

a lot of belarusian people came to ukraine to defend ukraine on the side of ukrainian army, and they understand that one day they will be ready to defend belarus as well. this is the precise moment may be, the scenario in the situation. you know, it's difficult to predict something. >> and do you have an estimate of how many belarusian exiles or volunteers i guess we could call them are fighting in ukraine on the side of ukrainian forces? and what are they reporting as a take part in the conflict? >> there are different groups of belarusians, but it may be about five, 700t people. some of them are in kyiv and in regions where difficult fights areul going on. a lot of people are training at the moment in ukraine, because our people are without any war experience and they just wish to fight on the side of ukrainian people and they have to train. some more and more volunteers want to join army. and have to say that ordinary belarusians who once led belarus because of oppression state in ukraine and help and other different ways like with medics, food, clothes. they help ukrainian people

if somebody comes from east of ukraine or central ukraine, they would pass through different cities first. also, they haven't sleep for a long time. they couldn't eat anything nutritious on the way. they usually have a headache. they have flu. they're also telling us the majority of them, they want to come back to ukraine as soon as possible. >> of course they were already humanitarian needs in ukraine over the last eight years of war. this is really adding to what was already a bad situation, isn't it? >> yes. even before this current war erupted, there were severe civilian needs. we were working as a humanitarian organization in ukraine for the last eight year, and right now just before the invasion, the needs were estimated to be 2.9 million people in the east of ukraine. right now they are much, much bigger. but the basic, it's the same because access to, you know, to dignity, to humane conditions, to electricity, to water, to psychological help, support. to food, to medical help. so this will grow bigger and bigger. there will be billions of dollars to ukraine and address the needs t

or outside of ukraine?y planner, that's what you did, what kind of options could they be looking at because you know they're going to look at them next week. >> i'm sure those options have already been worked out by the nato military staff and supreme ally commander to europe and might include artillery strikes, some limited missile strikes, maybe even a couple of air -- if russian forces in ukraine are in russia strike onto nato territory. but i think the biggest issue that i think is going to be -- i hope it will be discussed is how much risk we're willing to take to keep ukraine in this fight because in truth the best defense for nato is a strong ukraine that's resisting russia and bleeding russian forces down to nothing. if ukraine goes, it leaves just the thin red line of nato, and that front is four or five times larger than there was during the cold war. there are already plans published by russia how they're going to take the baltic states, and so there's no easy answer by saying, oh, well, let's ju

russia invaded ukraine without justification. russian forces known circle multiply creating cities after having destroyed much of the critical infrastructure leaving people without water, without electricity, without access to food and medicine. and russia's relentless bombardment including civilians trying to flee prevents people from safely escaping the hellish conditions they have created. the criminals proposal to great him entering corridors leading to russia and belarus are absurd. it is offensive to suggest they should seek refuge in the very government that demonstrates its disregard for their lives. the civilians who were able to escape yesterday through others core doors another city in ukraine, shows this is possible but must be allowed to happen on a much broader scale. it is not only in europe or the united states and uk are working together to address the threats to international peace and security. we also share great concern about iran's nuclear advances. together we discussed our work to achieve a mutual complian

troops are not going to be fighting in ukraine. and there is a good reason for that, because the united states getting involved in combat in ukraine right now or over the skies of ukraine right now leads to war with russia. and there is very little that you can see that would make sense for this war to be escalated between two nuclear powers. >> the pentagon spokesperson there. now i'd like to bring in from london the director and research fellow. thanks for joining us. so, what options do the ukrainians have right now? the no-fly zone is a non-starter for western allies and nato countries. they've been quite clear about that. what do they need the west to do in order for their fight against russia to have -- in order to be able to repel the russian invader at this point? >> well, look, we are moving in a critical -- what is -- from the east, odessa, and eventually the battle for kyiv. and i think what is critical is that there is more forceful imaginative military assistance. a couple of principles are important. obviously ukraine
