and china meeting in rome on monday, the talks come after the white house national security advisor, jake sullivan, told china not to help russia avoid the impact of sanctions from the war and ukraine. allen fisher, as more from washington d. c. at this meeting has been planned for some time, it evolved out all the summit that was hell between present by the present. she back in november, there was always the intention to have several of these meetings. it comes, of course, against the backdrop of ukraine, and as you've heard, jake sullivan's intention is to express in the strongest possible terms that china should not seek to gain a strategic advantage out of helping russia in all of this. what they won't see publicly. but what is clear from the biden white host is there is an element of frustration with the chinese. the believe that while the world has condemned what has happened, china while calling for a cease fire hasn't been as strong as the americans and other members of the international community would like. and that in some way is giving support to vladimir putin so they wo

the white house national security advisor jake sullivan confirmed yesterday he has tasked a special tigerm of experts to conduct contingency planning for the possibility russia uses chemical weapons in ukraine or strikes nato territory. president biden promised after a summit in brussels thursday the alliance will respond if russia uses weapons of mass destruction, which officials fear has become increasingly likely as ukraine's resistance continues to stall russian advances. we are taking your calls, asking what you think about president biden's handling of russia-ukraine. the phone numbers are on the screen. chad, benton city, washington, republican line. caller: good morning, thank you for having me. couple things i would like to share my opinion on. one. as the ukrainians resist the russians and continue to fight the way they are, and they are doing a great job, nothing but respect for them and their endurance, but the problem is if you know anything about putin or study his thinking, at least to the best of my ability, putin is the type of guy, the longer it is taking, the more he is

it comes as the white house national security adviser just met with his chinese counterpart in rome. cnn's kylie atwood is live at the state department. kylie, what are you learning about china's role in helping russia here? >> listen, what we're learning is that russia has asked china for economic and military support as part of their invasion into ukraine. and there's two timing aspects of this that are significant. but first of all, russia asked china for the support after their invasion began. so it wasn't like they went to china at the onset before in their planning and said we're going to need your help. they went to them after they had already began the invasion. and it's significant because we don't know exactly what prompted this request, but we have been reporting on the ground that russia has run into logistical problems, they run into fuel shortages and the like. so it appears they're going to china when they've come up against some challenges as their invasion has occurred. the other significant timing aspect is that these reports are coming out from u.s. officials as th

the white house has said that the discussion will center at least in part on the situation in ukraine, and russia's invasion of ukraine. this call will come after the white house national security adviser jake sullivan met with his chinese counterpart in rome on monday. and just before that meeting, the u.s. put out information, you know, leaked information about the fact that russia had requested military and economic support from china, a move clearly designed to put pressure on the chinese government, and following that we saw the u.s. officials repeatedly warning china against providing support to russia, whether that is by helping them invade the u.s. and european union sanctions or by providing military support and the u.s. made very clear there would be serious consequences for china, should it choose to take that route. so very interesting that the chinese president is going to be on this call, with president biden tomorrow, indicating that perhaps he hasn't entirely made up his mind yet about his position on this. we know while china and russia have grown closer together in recent years, with xi calling putin his best friend, just a couple of months ago, the u.s. -- ch

the white house national security adviser is warning any attack on nato territory will trigger a fullsponse by the alliance. a warning as well from the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. he said it's only a matter of time before russia's military assault expands into nato territory and he's calling once again for a no-fly zone in ukraine. the pentagon spokesman reacted to the expanding russian offensive. have a listen. >> this is their third now military facility or air field that the russians have struck in western ukraine in just the last couple of days. so clearly at least from an air-strike perspective, they're broadening their target sets. >> and this right here is mariupol. the video shows russia as you can see there firing on apartment buildings. officials in the besieged city say more than 2,000 people have been killed so far. the red cross is calling for an urgent solution for the hundreds of thousands of residents trapped in mariupol for a worst case scenario as humanitarian aid remains stalled. and we are seeing more devastation east of where a school in one village w

white house right now. mj, the administration tonight is announcing there will soon be more sanctions coming out against russia. tell our viewers what you're learning. >> that's right, wolf. white house national securityg tonight that the lust be announcing a new round of sanctions aimed at russia, and that this will be announced in conjunction with other u.s. allies. thursday, of course, is significant because that is the day that president biden will be attending this extraordinary nato summit. he will also be meeting with leaders of the g7 and the european council. now jake sullivan was asked at the white house press briefing a few hours ago for details on these sanctions. he said he isn't going to get into the specifics, but he did signify that there were two ways of thinking about the new round of sanctions that will be announced on thursday, that one, they be new sanctions and a broadening of the sanctions already announced. and two, it will have a lot to do with enforcement of the sanctions. so we are talking about countries that might want to evade sanctions, and then countries that might want to try to help russia evade some of these sanctions. take a listen to what he said. >> one of the key

white house. >> pull lizzer prize winning journalist, cnn political and national security analyst, as well as whiteational security correspondent for "the new york times" and it's good to see you. okay so in his address to u.s. congress, president zelenskyy pleaded for a no-fly zone over ukraine yet again. so what he is really asking for here is air supremacy over ukraine. means like blowing russian air bases, anti-aircraft batteries, so when he asks is that too much, at this point, the answer seems yes but under what circumstances could that change? >> well, the answer so far has been yes and that's pretty understandable. if no-fly zone sounds pretty passive, you know, sounds like you are sort of mapping out an area, telling everybody don't go there but somebody's got to enforce it and when you enforce it, you ehave got the risk that you would have american or nato planes in dog fights with russian pilots coming in to go over ukraine presuming those russian pilots don't respect the no-fly zone. and part of enforcing a no-fly zone means, as you suggested, taking out the anti-aircraft batteries on t

the white house national security adviser authorized a team to create contingency plans in case vladimirreme move. we want to get a closer look at this with the ceo of the counsel on strategic risks. and also a professor in the global security studies program at johns hopkins university. thank you very much, professor, for being with us. first and foremost, how concerned should we be about russia actually utilizing a chemical or a biological weapon? >> thanks for having me. i'm extremely concerned about his use of chemical or biological weapons. unfortunately, he illegally possesses these weapons, we believe, and they've crossed that line before. they've used chemical weapons with the poisoning of navalny and the attack in the united kingdom and russia really held syria's dictator bashar al asad's hand as he was slaughtering his own people with chemical weapons. so we're very concerned that they don't fear crossing that line, the way that they should, and that they don't fear the illegality of that. and that also, the conflict is just not going the way the russians had calculated, clearl

so back at the white house, national security adviser jakes sullivan addressing the war in ukraine where the people that live there who did not pose a threat to russia are being killed, they're being starved and china so far has really done their best to sit on the sideline here. they have not condemned the actions of the russian military and they have not endorsed putin's war. >> we have not seen since those meetings or since the president's conversations with xi to provision of military equipment by china to russia. of course, this is something that we're monitoring closely. we will continue to monitor it. the president made clear to president xi the implications and consequences of any such provision of equipment. they well understand one another. >> jake sullivan, the national security adviser on what is going on in terms of china's position here and the potential that they could weigh-in with military assistance. it's not happened yet. let's bring in peter schweizer. how american elites get rich helping china win. the title of your book has a picture of president biden on it. it poi

while the ukrainian people fight to defend their nation white house national security advisor jake sullivan willing not say if president biden believes ukraine can win the war. watch. >> does the president believe that you ukraine with win a military victory? >> russia will never take ukraine away from the ukrainian people. >> it should eject russia and regain sovereignty. >> we've said from the outset we are unwavering in our commitment to ukraine sovereignty within the recognized borders of ukraine. we remain committed to that as our proposition for this. >> harris: nike haley former u.s. ambassador to the united nations is in "focus" now. i want to start first with this idea of winning. we heard mitch mcconnell say win should be the objective. yet the white house will barely say the word. the president won't indicate to us whether or not that's the goal. are we stuck in a quagmire of messaging right now? >> good morning, harris. this shouldn't be that hard. winning is hugely important at this point. you aren't just winning for ukraine but for freedom. you are winning for sovereignty and

. >> reporter: ahead of president biden's departure for europe, white house national security adviserng that the u.s. will announce a new round of sanctioning against russia, and that this will be done in conjunction with other u.s. allies. thursday of course is the day that president biden is going to attend this extraordinary nato summit. he will also be meeting with leaders of the g7 and the european council. sullivan telling reporters that while he is not going to get into the details of this new round of sanctions, that you can think about them in sort of two buckets. that one will be the actual new sanctions that will be announced, and that second will have a lot to do with the enforcement of sanctions. here's what he said. >> one of the key elements of that announcement will focus not just on adding new sanctions but on ensuring that there is joint effort to crack down on invasion, on sanctions busting, on any attempt by any country to help russia basically undermine, weaken or get around the sanctions. >> reporter: jake sullivan saying that the new sanctions to be announced on

>> joining us from warsaw is matthew miller, special adviser for communications at the white house national security council. mtthew, good morning to you. it's good to have you. i do want to start there with what james longman was talking about, these new russian claims they are now only interested in the eastern part of ukraine and completely liberating the donbas region. does the white house actually believe this, and what could it signal for the next phase of the war? >> well, i'll say two things about that. first of all, we always wait to see what russia actually does and not take for granted what it says because from the beginning of the conflict they have never been honest about their aims. you have to remember before they even invaded ukraine for months we were warning the world about what was to come, and russia kept saying to the world, no, this was all fearmongering and did not intend to invade at all. so we're going to watch and see what they actually do. that said, it is very clear that russia is frustrated that this war has not gone like they planned. the ukrainians have fought bravely

but white house national security advisor jake sullivan said today moscow will never truly win the war russia takes the city or takes a town or takes more territory, they are never going to be able to achieve the purpose that they set out, which was to subjugate this country, to bring this country to heal, because the ukrainian people have made it clear that they will not subjugated, whatever it takes. jane: and president volodymyr zelenskyy is also willing to do whatever it takes to defend his country. last night, he said ukraine could consider dropping its bid to join nato if russian troops withdraw and moscow guarantees ukraine's security. but he said any peace deal must be approved by the ukrainian people. >> to be honest, the issues of security guarantees, we are talking here about constitutional changes, change of ukrainian law. never happens, this will not be the decided only by the president. judy: and jane ferguson joins me now. so many fronts to watch here. we know that the capital city has been in lockdown again tonight, the mayor saying they anticipate more attacks. tell us
