Capabilities in such a way that leads us to believe that we are potentially close to some sort of action. again, what that action is going to be and exactly on what time line, we cant be sure. what we see is russian forces assemble closer to the border and put themselves in advance stage of readiness to act. to conduct military action in yaw crane any time now. we believe that they are -- they are ready. ill just lever it at that. theyre ready. >> in are report of a chemical plant in crimea that...

Significance of this. i think this is part of russian military doctrine to escalate, to include the use of their cyber unconventional and nuclear capabilities. what i worry about, andrea, is there could be some horrible miscalculation here. you know, a russian ballistic missile attack could go over the border and hit a target in poland or in romania, and then of course, under article 5, under our nato treaty requirements, united states and our allies would be duty bound to defend the territory o...

Operational capabilities. >> we keep hearing about article v where every member agrees it will consider an armed attack against any member state as an attack against all 30 members is an attack on one. article v has only been invoked once in the history of nato in response to the september 11th terror attacks on the united states. what scenarios do you think could trigger article v today? >> well, article v is essentially natos commitment clause. it is effectively the alliances formal mechanism ...

Said, to turn off the lights, to turn off the power. what has been surprising again is the inability to use the tools that we thought they had in overwhelming numbers, their air force, their cyber capabilities really havent been brought to bear. they havent completely grounded the ukrainian air force. so what theyve done is really underwhelming, theyre underperforming. theres a potential they could get their act together, but theyre strung out on seven different axes of advance. they are proceed...

Six years ago when the rushes innovated crimea that the ukraiian forces were using rpgs and they were being deflected off the tanks. now theyre being destroyed. the stingers as well. >> martha: thanks, lucas tomlinson reporting from lviv ukraine. see you later. moments ago, jen psaki saying no need yet to change our own nuclear alert levels. you heard what lucas said about always being at the ready. lets listen in here for a moment. >> i dont have anymore assessments about the presidents view of...

Warfare. cyber is absolutely part of it. mike: any thoughts on the key role cyber plays in this conflict and how big an issue it is going forward? >> cyber is fundamental. you have an equalizee of capabilities that you dont have to overcome time and space for. so you have these abilities to attack in a non-kinetic way or have intelligence in a non-kinetic way that we didnt see 50 years ago. so its a vital part to defend and sadly offense as well. alicia: thank you for your expertise. our coverag...

We heard from the pentagon earlier today that they have now -- that russian has now 90% of their preinvasion combat capabilities inside ukraine. but at the same time, this senior u.s. defense official said there is much, much more that they still have the ability to do. weve been tracking very closely this convoy that has been making its way down from belarus towards the capital of kyiv, 40 miles long, very visible from space. weve seen it in satellite imagery. it has artillery. it has armored v...

Vulnerabilities, too. you might remember the solar wind pack, and the software supply chain, multitude of potential attack vectors in the supply chain and remember, weve seen multiple major cyber attacks under joe bidens watch. the pipeline, jbs, microsoft exchange, china-led state hack. devastating pandemic policies. i think striking another blow to supply chain would be like kicking us when were down. >> todd: do we have the defensive capabilities to stop putin? >> i really think we do. the en...

Capabilities. ukraine says the strike killed five people and wounded several others. meanwhile, explosions are ripping through the heart of ukraines second largest city, kharkiv. >> sandra: a round of cluster munitions hitting an apartment complex, they are not just hitting military targets. >> john: and the citys administration center in the heart of kharkiv, killing at least six. ukrainians fleeing at a record rate, united nations reporting more than 600,000 people have already left the countr...
