Page 39 - Airfields News Today

Cooperation, maritime domain awareness, information sharing practices and tactical interdiction expertised to enhance the collective capabilities of all nations. thats starting today. with that well take questions. bob. >> reporter: thank you. a couple questions on ukraine. the air strikes in the west on i think two airfields, does that suggest a widening of the war effort by russia? and the second question has to do with the much-discussed convoy north or northwest of kyiv. >> yeah. >> reporter...

And european allies. the good news arrives to the people of ukraine as they face another day of destruction and bloodshed. lets get back to the point where shes respondent jonathan in lviv. jonathan trace, the ukrainian people, the ukrainian government grateful for the help theyre getting. theyll be grateful for those extra billions of dollars. but what they want more than anything and what theyre not getting right now is a no fly zone. they need more cover in the air. they need in the words of ...

Airspace over the area of ukraine that is closest to those airfields. you would not be able to go to the extent all the way to the russian border, so the other issue, you do not have any airfields within ukraine that are likely going to be able to be used because you have to be concerned about the russians actually capturing those areas where the aircraft are used, so it is some challenge for the military to establish that. that being said, we have highly trained and expert folks who could do th...

Ukraines capital of kyiv. benjamin, as you look around, what are you seeing today? >> well, brian, steve, and ainsley, good morning. so far it has been peaceful today. this city is bracing for an invasion. many people feel that it was going come last night. many feel it will come tonight. so far the attacks seem to be taking place elsewhere in the country and many cities now being besieged. you talked earlier about those russians, the russian office for humanitarian corridors. cynical ploy becau...

Asking your questions. world news tonight is next. tonight, breaking developments as we come on the air. russian forces moving in. say the russians have kidnapped the mayor of a key city, and tonight reports the russians are bringing biosuits into ukraine. the images coming in tonight, the mayor of mariupol describing the city as armageddon, where the maternity and childrens hospital was already hit. shelling every 30 minutes. the capital of kyiv, images showing that massive russian convoy clo...

Earlier on today, several hours after the strikes, the firefighters were struggling to put the fire out there. one person was killed, and overnight guard in that shoe factory and then a kindergarten was damaged by a missile that landed about 200 or 300 meters from it and an apartment block was hit badly with severe damage done according to local sources to about eight apartments. that may seem in comparison to kharkiv or kyiv or mariupol fairly light work but this is right in the middle of the c...

Airfields, or at least aimed at airfields. were not exactly sure what the target was in this case. there were pedestrianing walking up and down. this seemed like the most logical place for russian bombs to hit. almost like theyve been expecting it the last three weeks. heres what one man told me. >> translator: there were some explosions. i heard the noise and then looked right away and i saw a column of smoke rising. >> reporter: even with bombing you feel safe to say here? >> translator: well,...

Increasing its attacks on the western part of the country. fire and smoke seen in the aftermath of strikes on airfields near the polish border. its a scene that played out in cities all across the country as russia unleashed a barrage of attacks in the early morning hours. in the central city of dnipro, fire poured out of a factory. another strike near a preschool and an apartment building. in cher cheev, an explosion destroyed a soccer field. in a city near the border of russia, a strike destro...

Fight. so this is part of what weve been told by nato officials as well is that nato as a bloc is not providing that defensive assistance to ukraine. it is actually the nato members and they have actually been told not to even discuss it amongst themselves what kind of weaponry theyre sending and what transit points. nato is playing no coordinating role when it comes to providing weaponry to ukraine. its all because of security, because the russians have made the statement about potentially targ...

Third, biden ought to say if putin is going to engage in a policy of killing civilians, then we are going to give surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles to ukraine. when somebody starts killing your women, your children, destroying your cultural heritage, you have a right to defend yourself by taking out their airfields and their missiles. >> steve: thats such a good idea. nobody is really talking about that. but the point before that where he talked about whether or not the ukrainians ...
