zelinski spoke from the heart. you've seen the images already at a, you know, military green t shirt on. this new ukraine flag. there was no script. he spoke from the heart. he referred to united states as the most powerful and the biggest hope. zelinsky requested more help in acquiring aerial defense equipment and called on the us to sanction russian oil and gas imports. senator tim kaine told our neil cavuto this i think we should the u. s should shut down imports of russian energy. we should do that we can do it. unilaterally and we ought to do it right away. bipartisan legislation is being pushed to do just that. the white house has said that this could hurt the u. s more than russia since russian oil and gas makes up just about 10% of what we are importing, but a tiny fraction of what russia exports the fear is that the impact would be on already high fuel prices, but the president said he is weighing options on how to make up for that gap. the white house is also requesting $10 billion from congress to assist

let's talk about what zelinski is doing to ask the australians for. how much would it difference would it make if some of the weaponry that vladimir zelinski once, what if that was delivered? we are talking about surface to air missiles, antitank weaponry among others. >> australia has already gotten a small amount of weapons and aid. nothing that australia knows will make a decisive difference. australia will contribute because it is a loyal ally of the united states. it believes, the australian government has said there is a broader principle here at play. australia wants to make a definitive statement that it opposes the unprovoked use of force by the russian side. i think the broader issue of weapons transfers to ukraine now , i mean my sense is that it has made a really decisive difference. it has made a major difference on the battlefield along with the training that the forests has offered over the last eight years which had a major effect on transforming the performance of the ukrainian military and it has effectively made it impossible for ru

media last year or so spoke about to the link of mr. zelinski in pandora papers. we've huge corruption cases and no, it doesn't exist anymore. nobody speaks about that. any more. a reputed cia offshoot, the national endowment for democracy has allegedly been deleting records about financing, ukrainian military forces. an archived web page purports to show the organization has provided more than $22000000.00 to ukraine since 2014. that's a mid claims that the u. s. trained members of ukraine's controversial 8. our battalion ortiz, mary for national, takes it up. they say russia invaded ukraine. they say russia is the aggressor, but work in here in the la guns republic for weeks. we found many things that tell a different story. one discovery was made at a former base of the notorious. i'd. our battalion, it appeared in 2014 as an armed volunteer group that fought on key if side, but slowly fell out of its control. too many weapons money and impunity did their job. now it's part of ukraine's ground forces. those roots have a sinister foreign influence. this is what

president zelinsky made his views clear. this is clearly a — zelinsky made his views clear.l residential area, | is clearly a war crime. peaceful i city, peaceful residentialarea, no military— city, peaceful residentialarea, no military facilities. _ city, peaceful residentialarea, no military facilities. on _ city, peaceful residential area, no military facilities.— military facilities. on the road to the capital _ military facilities. on the road to the capital kyiv. _ military facilities. on the road to the capital kyiv, satellite - military facilities. on the road to | the capital kyiv, satellite images show a russian military convoy far longer than first thought. heading towards the city, shaken by an air strike in the radar communications... and this is where residents are digging trenches to try to protect the neighbourhood. at least 70 ukrainian soldiers were killed in a russian missile strike on this military base west of kharkiv on sunday according to authorities. in the southern ukrainian port city russian tanks can be seen on the streets. ukrainian officials said

and moreover, people and can't say, should zelinski try and push it through. there would be mass process and i was also kill his own kind of career he's facing actually this year. and it's a political suicide to try and push that through. so it's really a bad deal. but as i said, it was the only thing on the table that was the solution, the peaceful solution, unless he's rolled out. and i think quite understandably, but then since reactive, because the decision is pushed and takes it to the next stage, which is not quite the invasion, the war that everyone's been talking about. but it's certainly going well be on diplomacy, you know, the regular sitting around in the pals. and i should just say, obviously london, moscow and what to do support means to still even moscow. parallels with the recognition of kosovo, which russia has always criticize that kicked off. you just love you wore in the cost of it was just unilaterally recognized. right. and bad is western europe. well, i think so. i mean that one of the points here, i mean one, and one of the basic proble

the parliamentarians are really impressed by this speech of mister zelinski. he showed us one more time you quinn. it's not only defending their own county, ukraine is defending so well use off the whole european union. ukraine is defending human rights and democracy, and that is why all parliamentarians stand on the side of ukraine. well, he also criticized a, the german government and also the whole political class really in just not seeing the threat that emanated from putins russia there. and a long germany to become dependent on, on, on russia's energy supplies. were you what, what was your feeling about that? you know, my party is fighting for many, many years to get independent of oil and gas from russia, especially. and she strengthened the when uber and angie and i think this is really important at this time. and minister bamberg and minister havoc are working tirelessly, is that we can strengthen renewable energy. it's also secure to reason and get independent from rush and gas. and oh, but this doesn't work by night or yesterday, president biden gav

we heard that from president zelinski.e says every weeks there needs to be w sanctions slapped on russia. the battle is evolving at this point. i think we can continue to see ideas of legislation move forward but you already have some senators like joe mansion saying the president has taken action here. do we need to pass legislation to codify it. the president has delivered on that front. >> something else that we heard from president zelensky this week was an interview that he did with nbc when he said the world =-- world war iii may have already started. president biden said he will not take military action to defend ukraine because he does not to start world war iii. how does what zelensky's saying connect with what you hear on the ground? >> we hear very oftewhen we talk to people, they say this is like -- about more than ukraine. the soldiers of said this to me. this is not just about ukrnian territory and russian territory. this is very more about russian expansionism, this is autocracy versus democracy versus a nat

zelinsky once again asked for a no fly zone to be enforced over ukraine. however the white house and nato have rejected the request. police departments around the country are sending tactical gear to ukraine to defend against russian forces. the sarasota county sheriff's office in florida recently boxed up 340 ballistic helmets and ship them overseas. the sheriff says the equipment was sent to ukraine through a connection with the department of defense contractor. the helmets are only good for five years and would have been destroyed soon. be destroyed, they can be put to good use. hopefully protecting what appears to be a fragile democracy. it will stop certain rounds and obviously protect you from head shots and falling debris and some of the things that we're seeing on tv. other police departments are also sending helmets as well as tactical vest, body armor and uniforms. coming up standing up against asian hate, one year after the atlanta area spa shootings the event in san francisco tonight to honor the victims and why actor jesse smollett was release

thank you very much. lozano ukrainian president valona zelinski has used a life address to deliver a harsh assessment of germany's political class in a powerful and often pointed speech to germany's parliament. zelinski said lawmakers enabled putins invasion of ukraine by allowing germany to become dependent on energy imports from russia. he also accused chancellor all of shows of failing to recognize the growing threat posed by russia. his country is not far from germany, and it is being destroyed by war blue in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities ross or is committing in ukraine. the 3rd building is only over the past 3 weeks. many people have been killed thousands of ukrainians. the occupiers have killed 108 children in the middle of you who in the year 2022 blighted lot. i said raoul, there were heads in hands as german lawmakers listened for 11 minutes to zalinski speaking live from ukraine. you. the ukranian president did not means his words more strongly criticized in berlin for continuing to import gas and oil fr

it says that president biden joined zelinski in urging russia to cease its military activities in the area and allow firefighters and emergency responders to access the site. now, the concern here would be from the us administration, that this might have been a deliberate attack. this might be some kind of tactic by russia. it appears in the video that we have seen online. there seems to be fire aimed at that facility. now, if that were a tactic of the russians, that would definitely concern the biden administration. they want to find out clearly what happened, why and whether that's going to happen in any other nuclear facilities in ukraine, the by did ministration, has expressed concern about a number of the russian tactics. but this raises that to an entirely new level. well, henry sikowski is executive director of the nonproliferation policy education center . he spoke to us earlier about the consequences of nuclear reactors getting hit in was if they do other military operations, either there are other reactors, something relating to the main power core or the spent fuel fund wou

zelinski again pleaded for the us to enforce a no fly zone over ukraine. i have a need. i need to protect our sky . i need your decision. your help. the white house and nato partners have rejected the calls for fear of directly entering into conflict with russia. my heart bleeds for the people being killed. i understand why there is a need, but i don't think it's worth the risk of starting a world war. i would not take off the table. and no fly zone and i wouldn't my only criticism of president biden is to not lead with what you're not willing to do. now this afternoon at another event in d c president, biden told reporters. russian president vladimir putin is quote a war criminal. the white house press secretary said the president's comments speaks for itself. in studio gregory ktvu, fox two news. okay, greg, thank you for more. we're joined now by political analyst brian sobel. bryant always appreciate your time and your perspective, certainly a very emotional speech from president zelinsky. he harkened back to two attacks on this country, pearl harbor and 9 11 as he c

and moreover, people and can't say that should zelinski try and push it through. there would be mass process and i was also kill his own kind of career he's facing actually this year. and it's a political suicide to try and push that through. so it's really a bad deal, but as i said, it was the only thing on the table that was the solution, the peaceful solution, unless he's rolled out. and i think quite understandably, but then since reactive, because the decision is pushing takes it to the next stage. which is not quite the invasion, the war that everyone's been talking about. but it's certainly going well be on diplomacy, you know, the regular sitting around in the pals. and i should just say, obviously london, moscow. and what you can do support means to still even moscow parallels with the recognition of kosovo, which russia is always criticized that kicked off. you just love you wore, in the cost of it was just unilaterally recognized. right. and bad is western europe. well, i think so, i mean that one of the points here, i mean one, and one of the basic pro

but i think last week, zelinski definitively shut that off and said, we're not going. why would he? i mean, the ukraine is run like the comedy series zelinski was in showing the ukraine to be an utterly corrupt all the god run. her whole country of conspiracy. and this is like the lens. he's comedy series. who is, can, why would you lensky do this to his own country? that what you mean? give up the dumbass? no. why would he not abide by the men's agreements? it's a horrible deal. i mean, you're asking kids to basically give up any control over one of the regions. i mean, it becomes autonomous. and then if there's a vote for night, so session membership, then dumbass effectively gets a veto. and quite clearly with, you know, the 700000 passports that rushes handed out, half the population of that region. russia isn't effectively in control of it. so you give up the ability to make these decisions like succession, which is in, you know, the aspirations join nicer is now in the constitution as a national aspiration in the basic law. and then to give up the power to be able to fulfill t

because zelinski himself is a jew and has miracles, relations. but or the problem is that for 4 or 2, she doesn't pull any kind of rocker are between him and you create the problem is that are good in doesn't want to have a peace deal. i mean the traditional way of understanding of her term. but she wants her capitulation of ukraine. he wants her step down or zalinski and this why are no broker? no, no one knows that aside, i can bring all this things to compromise. this is the difficult that concerning my crop. i think that 8 my personal opinion, but i think all his people just talked i it's of the senseless. ah, because she cannot play any serious role. and her also because i ah, by my say, so because i've been here recently, i know the situation. he's not very much respect that the new brand new credit leadership. that's why he is not the guy who can make her some kind of agreement that separate separate. okay, what are your thoughts about best con manual ido andrews says put in. doesn't want a piece deal, so where do we go from here? natal in

is you gave me that hunt said presidentl gave me that hunt said president zelinsky hasjust gave me thatery state that voted in favour. you have chosen the right side of history. we had ukraine's representative than the un was genocide, there were war crimes. as that assessment, do you agree with that assessment, do you agree with that assessment, do you agree with that assessment from the ukrainians? yes. we have been working very closely with the ukrainians. even in closely with the ukrainians. even in close touch throughout and we are very concerned about what we are seeing in terms of war crimes and the uk hasjoined already 30 seeing in terms of war crimes and the uk has joined already 30 and seeing in terms of war crimes and the uk hasjoined already 30 and i think the number is still growing, member states who have supported a call for the international criminal court to investigate the war crimes and the war in ukraine.— court to investigate the war crimes and the war in ukraine. every single time we talk — and the war in ukraine. every single time we talk to _ and the war in ukrai

what else could zelinski ask for? well, he probably will ask for this no fly zone, which is sir, not gonna happen. i mean, there is nothing he really can say today to convince biden and administer his administration to support that he once more weapons. and we also hear in the background that he just once more military support, and there are obviously a negotiations going on that that joe biden probably will announce right after the speech more aids his, the talks are about another $800000000.00 to cure ukraine. but the big question really is, or how far joe biden really can go. and there is this one red line, which is not negotiate negotiable, even so. so lensky is go, is probably urging again for his european and american friends to allow ukraine to join. not nato, but this is something which we won't see today and probably not in the coming months. now zalinski speech, it takes place after president biden has already signaled a massive span spending bill into law that medicaid's many billions to ukraine at how unit

zelinski address lawmakers here, and him, to tell the americans that he was going to provide an additional $800 million in military gear. listen to what the president had to say. [video clip] >> i am once again using presidential authority to activate additional security systems to help ukraine fend off the russian assault. when additional $800 million in assisted reading the total of new security assistance to ukraine to $1 million just this week. these are direct transfers of equipment from the department of defense and ukrainian military to help them as they fight against the invasion. i thank the congress for appropriating these funds. this new package is going to provide unprecedented assistance to ukraine, including 800 antiaircraft systems to make sure that the ukrainian military can continue to stop the and helicopters that have been attacking their people and defend the ukrainian airspace. at the request of presiden zelensky we have identified and are helping you rain require -- acquire longer-range antiaircraft systems and munitions for those systems. the new munitions package in

yamiche: all week president zelinski has been the face of the resistance.e has been pleading for help, more help from the west. in the meantime, almost one million people have fled ukraine. the situation is becoming a large-scale humanitarian crisis. the u.n. predicts 10 mlion ukrainians, roughly a quarter of the entire population, could be displaced. on tuesday night in his first state of the union, president biden delivered a strong rebuke of russian president vladimir putin. pres. biden: he thought e west and nato would not respond. he thought he could divide us at home, in this chamber and this nation, but putin was wrong. we are ready. we are united. that is what we did. we stayed united. yamiche: the biden administration and its allies are ramping up sanctions on the russian economy. they are targeting oligarchs, companies, and the country's banking system. joining me tonight to discuss all this and more, nick schifrin , foreign affairs and defense correspondent for pbs newshour, joining us from ukraine, and up late sec. leigh ann caldwell, correspond

midway through his address, zelinsky played a five minute video montage. edited with dramatic ukrainian music, the video showed before and after scenes of cities and people terrorized by the war. president biden. you are the leader. of the niche. 49ers. i wish you to be the leader of the world. being the leader of the world means to be the leader. of peace . zelinsky asked again for the us to enforce a no fly zone in ukrainian airspace, but said if quote that is too much to ask ukraine requests other measures like closing us ports to russian goods and sanctioning all russian political figures abroad. well, president, biden said more sanctions against russia are on the table. a no fly zone over ukraine is something nato allies and the us are reluctant to do because of the real and serious possibility it could lead to a direct conflict with a nuclear armed russia. president biden reiterated us support for ukraine in other ways we're going to give ukraine the armed to fight and defend themselves through all the difficult days ahead. congress has already appro

what is more important for us to understand the current state, the state of play, his statement by zelinski himself. so i said the alternator, cold, cold, for russians to be wiped out of premier, and president lansky in, in september last, you said, if you believe you are irrational, if you believe you want to be russian. and if you want to be friendly with russia, go to russia. you said this just few months ago. so coming back to sentence sanctions, we will survive the measures reach, the president and the government are developing, elaborating, and being announced. and this is only the beginning of our economy to adjusting that to get the just adjusted to the new situation after 2014. as i started to say that we did gain experience to rely upon ourselves. and the, the biggest lesson from this spectacle is historic. period is unlike what we saw after 2015 that now even there was any illusion that we can one day rely on less than partners. this illusion is no longer there. we will have to rely, oh no, now a sales and are now lice. who would stay with us? this is the, the, the main conclusio

president zelinsky continues to bag with leaders of the west for more assistance to ukraine. he insists that if nato implement a no fly zone over the country, they can fend off russian troops. that same belief is shared by the majority of the ukrainian people. how about this gut-wrenching decision for a mom to an 11 year-old ukrainian boy traveled 700 miles by himself. >> with only a passport, a telephone number written on his hand in a plastic bag. the boy's mom says she was unable to leave ukraine with him because her mom can't move on her own and she needs to stay there to care for her mother. so she put her son on a train to slovakia. once there authorities were able to call the number that was written on his hand, contact his relatives. slovakian officials are calling the boy a true hero who won them over with his smile, fearlessness and determination. his mother credits the customs officials and volunteers in slovakia for saving her son's life. to get the latest headlines and updates on the war in ukraine. you can use kron 4 dot com as a resource. use your phone there.

now, zelinsky again called on the us to enact and enforce a no fly zone over ukraine, but said if that is too much to ask that the u. s can and should do other things like provide more aircraft and military equipment to ukraine. he called on all american companies to leave russia and to close us ports to all russian goods. that's why today the american people are helping not just ukraine. but europe and the world to keep the planet alive. to keep justice in history. now. in response, several members of congress, both republicans and democrats say the u. s. should provide some form of increased military support to ukraine. no one has said outright that they support the idea of the us enforcing a no fly zone. there are real and serious concerns about that. possibly leading to a direct conflict between the us and a nuclear armed russia. but after zelinsky speech, republicans and democrats said that there are other ways to achieve the same result without the us being directly involved, at least not technically. provide them the plains where they can create a no fly zone, providing the arma

and can you tell us a just a little bit about your conversation with president zelinsky? >> but the conversation was this morning set up by the ukrainian embassy here a few, i guess couple 100 members of congress are on it. i was representing armed services committee of which i'm sure remember so let's game was very, very strong, very clear. obviously in control and determined to beat back the russian aggression and the horrible on slide against civilian populations and the communities he wanted a no fly zone. but he also knows that united states and nato do not want to engage directly with russia. so he suggested that the make. a fighter jets that are in poland, romania and bulgaria, a former soviet rather former east european countries that those yes be made available to ukraine. that has been taken up and the president biden today suggested that it is possible that the jets could be transferred or given to by ukraine. ukrainian pilots were trained on those russian jets. so it's a possibility ukraine will be able to control the skies themselves. and that's under way. th

catherine and grant zelinsky referred to moments in u.s.tory like >> pearl harbor and 9.11 during his appeal to lawmakers for more help. and his message really resonated across washington. >> a standing ovation from congress signal the bipartisan u.s. support for ukrainian president zelensky in his country and their continued fight against russia. then american people helping not just you but you are and the wall to keep the planet they live. and following zelensky's pleas for more help. i see no sense in a lie. if it cannot stop them. the debts president biden announced the u.s. will send an additional 800 million dollars in military assistance to ukraine, including more into aircraft into armor, weapons and drones. this could be a long and difficult about it. >> american people be steadfast in our support of the people ukraine in the face of putin's immoral, unethical attacks on civilian populations. the newly-announced aid will come from the nearly 14 billion dollars congress just approved for ukraine. it is unheard of. >> to hear from a

i think that's meeting zelinski is quite a way off of putin to insist on finishing his operation. whatever that means, he doesn't want to meet the sky because meetings and now would mean that he ran out of the me and essentially that in the eyes of the world would be probably seen at the theater. and this is something that he, a poor, the kind of thing that we could expect is much more protracted warfare, more shutting off city areas. and probably some readiness on the part of the crime in to go into a kind of ma, stagnant more if you wish, stabilized france in which the world continue, but they will not be any major attempts to advance somewhere. especially if mario boat is taken by the rushing water. i do not think that the kremlin will agree to any kind of meaningful speech stalks. now, concerns in the state of use, a rash on the 1st list. thank you. now rash s s that has use hypersonic missiles to destroy your warehouse, a weapons belonging to the ukranian army. speaking on state tv, russian defense ministries, folks, my eager kind of shankar, sadness, the attack had used that

the will desire and ability to negotiate, who have the opportunity to give orders to the troops. zelinski gave the command, but no one began to carry it out. they began to come up with excuses if nato had not been spreading so aggressively to russia's borders, everything could have been adjusted. and now the hatred towards russia is being inflated. if you watch any western tv channel, you'd be surprised by the madness of people creating fakes, which are then embedded in the consciousness of citizens. and then people are bringing to power some insane idiots. i have seen the level of european politicians degrading. they getting crazier a more responsible and why they are responsible because those who choose to elect them have caught the wave created by the military industrial complex. as a result, nothing positive can be borne from hatred only war, which is a game beneficial for the military industrial complex. well, dozens of russian speaking german residents have been demonstrated in berlin against discrimination. they say they're facing over the ongoing conflicts in ukraine. they gathere

also, as is now obvious from the viral videos of zelinski, pre presidential life, his career may have been an entertainment, but he took it extremely seriously, his a workaholic. he's always meant business and he is a team player. these are the qualities forged in a sequence furnace of post soviet showbiz life that gave him the edge. first. vladimir zalinski was a fraud and a huckster, exposed by the international consortium of investigative journalists and their pandora papers. but now he's the symbol of courage. so what can we take from all of this? well, it turns out that according to mainstream media, fax and information are subject to total recall and negotiation. turns out the only truth you can hang your hat on is whatever they decide the truth is to day. gala bobbin artsy new york. meanwhile, ukraine itself has been suspected of trying to manipulate media coverage in its favor and utilizing more than a 100 p r. firms. a new investigation suggests that the countries foreign ministry distributed materials with guidelines on how to cover the conflict in ukraine. the dossier inclu

shifting focus, zelinski compared russia's invasion of his country to its intervention. his city, seeing russia destroyed the euclidian city of mario paul in the same manner. it did to the city of city of ali po, he also called on cut off to increase its output as garcia to the deuce europe's dependency russian supplies looks like. this is also a question of abandoning the usage of russian oil and gas. responsible states like the state of cancer are reliable and solid exporters of energy resources, and they can make their contribution to the stabilization of europe. they can do much to restore justice. the future of europe rests with your efforts. it depends on your efforts. i ask you to increase the output of energy to ensure that every one in russia understands that no country can use energy as a weapon. cut offs, emil shift, i mean, been hammered at fanny, who opened the event a bit earlier. said cut our stood in solidarity with the people of euclid or adding a lot of the war. there is a reminder for the world to reflect your conflict. but if you, jeez, everywhere we

when he talks about zelinski is remarks at the munich security conference this year. when he said that he was going to revisit the budapest men or memorandum on the dean nuclear ization of ukraine. which is, i mean, that's a kind of spell i right there. i'm sorry, that is a legitimate concern for a government on their border. and president was very clearly listening when he said that. but according to the times that makes a conspiracy, the only problem here is that people forget that not only is security indivisible. so his credibility and the new york times also said that people who were saying that there was anything other than a natural origin for stars co be to where conspiracy theorists until a few months later they had to admit, well, actually it looks like it came out of a lab somewhere, you know, a maxime and this is all said and done. it will. all, it will, at least in the west will all be about domestic politics. i mean, you have the, the british foreign minister. she comes here and she basically backstab sir boss. i mean, it was all about her own career abo

our case elliot botanical earlier speaking with my colleague paula switch, says zelinski decision is nothing but a crackdown on the opposition and thus an abuse of his authority. this decision has no legitimate grounds. all accusations are made up by the government to justify their inadequate actions. the only explanation for this move by the authorities as an illegal political takeover and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. all. well, the explanation was actually easy to predict. coming from the president, vol, dimmers, lensky, he has criticized these parties for ties with russia. ties with the aggressor as kia, has constantly been saying, and pretty much he labeled the parties as traders. but you do have to bear in mind that the list is very long, almost a dozen, and on that list, there is the 2nd strongest political force and the parliament. i mean, it has been elected by a large number of people. then besides this, again on that list, there are famous political brands such as, for instance, the socialist party. and you see if this kind of cracked down occurr

we heard president zelinski said that he is willing to give up nato aspirations in return for peace. do you think that that could spark progress towards some sort of agreement? that's the hope at least 4 people here on the ground. but at the same time, this is not the 1st time the presidency. lensky acknowledged that ukraine should renounce membership and ne, to at least for now as a result, since the statement was made already earlier this month. politically, it's not expected that anything is going to change immediately or any time soon. also, we have to remember that within that catalogue of demands by russia, this is just one of the demands that ukraine shouldn't join nato. the also made clear that they are invading this country to den, not to fight and to demilitarize it on the grounds on the grounds of the accusation that ukraine is committing a genocide. also present zalinski and keeps repeating actually for one year. now that he wants a direct meeting with a vladimir putin who back that before the war kept saying, well, this is a civil war in ukraine when it comes to the don
