The assault the optics and it appears to me hes going to commit armor and infanti forces to try to seize and putin is desperate. on an earlier show, a genuine expert who was studying performance. >> ari, i think he is going off the rails. he had a tremendous grasp of nuclear capabilities in russia and the united states. his statement implied these are usable weapon indicates to me that hes having serious difficulty and decisions. >> explain what you mean by that. his assertion in the operational...

Square miles through europe, through russia. there is no way to contain such a meltdown if you are cutting off the electricity, cutting off the control mechanisms. >> joe, just two days ago when we heard putin had his nuclear capabilities at the ready, when exactly does that mean? >> yeah, its a very obscure phrase he used, we never seen that before. elevating to special combat status. but what we believe in may need, beyond the signaling, beyond the message to the west to back off, is that ther...

Perilous moment for his country. is it fair to say he is an unlikely candidate and improbable wartime leader? >> i think it is fair to say. hes a man of extraordinary achievements and capabilities. >> reporter: capabilities widely noticed through his recent example of leadership. his videos from the streets of kyiv are being watched everywhere. calm, determined, insistent the world must do more. and he has provided the most memorable line of the war so far, responding to a u.s. offer to get him ...

That they could achieve that objective and not occupy it would be to install some kind of puppet regime, which also could be at risk from ukrainian resistance elements. so, i think this russian occupation is going to go on for some period of time, regardless of what president putin wants. but every day there are troops on the ground, they will also be targets. some people have been saying theyre slightly surprised that russia hasnt initiated more cyber attacks on ukraine. it is obviously somethi...

Right now. >> at least 95% of the russian forces amassed around ukraine during this massive buildup of forces over the past several months, at least 95% of them are inside ukraine. we hope to get another update. we suspect the number may be higher than the 95% we heard about late yesterday. the vast majority of the russian military forces and many of their capabilities are now inside ukraine. an overall operational picture of what were seeing here, theyre really focused on the capitol city kyiv,...

Become sort of now imminent? have you seen russian troops move in to donetsk and the donbas region and move further into ukraine beyond those regions? >> a lot there. on the donetsk and luhansk as you have heard administration officials say before, we believe that marks the beginning of an invasion. we certainly believe that russia -- additional russian military forces are moving in to that region, not beyond that region that we have seen. we cant confirm with any great specificity the numbers. ...

In the bucca direction. we lost a hero yesterday. and the day before yesterday. with this situation, definitely we still are keeping the russian troops on the position. but we have 17 cruise missiles for kyiv, together with airborne and definitely we need to protect our capabilities from the air. but definitely the situation is quite difficult. and we need for the weapons. and by the way we need for the sanction. again, 50% of americans consider a sanction is not enough. and every single day, wh...

That is in russian hands after three days of fighting and four nights of air campaign in for the night being tonight. in the second thing, their air campaign that theyre running themselves have been somewhat effective which is surprising given the advanced capabilities that they have in the overmatched that they have of the ukrainians ability to defend and what am i talking about, they are still viewed that ukrainian aircraft flying from the russians have not shut down and control the airspace a...

Muddy ground is also helping. march is when the ground thaws, so the russians are in trouble. >> talk to me more about this idea of using the drones. obviously, the calls for a no-fly zone continue. they have been rejected by the u.s. and nato. i was thinking about what you just said with this idea of not using the fighter jets, but using our armed drones. so the ukrainians have the capabilities of learning quickly how to operate these drones and using drones? >> some of these take only a few ho...
