Outnumbers what russia has brought to the fight. about 50% of russias combat power is already committed to this fight. of course, theres a huge difference between big numbers and quality. what were discovering is that russian armed forces are not nearly as good as we thought they were. i overestimated their capability. they dont have -- they dont demonstrate the experience or training that you would expect from a modern force. they dont have what we have, the secret sauce, which is sergeants, no...

>> can you give us a sense based on your conversations with ukrainian officials of where that fight stands? "the wall street journal" and the "new york times" reporting tonight that the ukraine not just holding ground but planning counteroffenses now in effect to push russian forces further back. do they have that capability? do you see the battle on the ground turning in their favor? >> well, i dont see it turning right now, although they seem -- theyre very determined and very capable, but the...

Will view that as escalation. do you think thats the case? you agree with that? and i dont know, why do you fathom we are not -- we are not aiding in sending those in? >> i think its a function of leadership. and again, i applaud the administration for what they have done but they have to go further and faster. i dont think it was hearing from vladimir putin, because they are not talking. i dont think it was even a message from what i know. i dont think it was something where they said it would ...

Thats what president zelenskyy asked for. he gets a lot more, too. the lethal drones, we need more of those in the country as well. he talks about a no-fly zone. they can create their own if we give them the military and wea -- military weapons. >> that raises the defense to a high altitude given the s-300s capability. to your point, the combination of that, stingers which have a lower altitude capability, other systems we reported earlier this morning, theyre medium altitude. can that add up to...

About the structure of whats taking place here and we can do better than this, americans deserve it, the ukrainian people deserve it as well and i think president zelenskyy spoke to that very nicely today. >> sean: why, when poland wanted to give the migs to ukraine, the person that vetoed that idea was joe biden. it went right to him. why wouldnt he say to poland do whatever you think is right? >> hard to explain, sean, why he would take the posture that a european country wanted to provide wea...

Only this night we have 12 attack by cruise missiles. seven of them reach the residential building. and with this situation, we have -- this is the disastrous way how putin provide the war against ukraine. and i am definitely confident that ukraine do a miracle. and the battalion and troops and ukraine armed forces due a miracle to stop russian forces on their way to surround kyiv to attack kyiv. armed forces was created in 2014 and 2015 under my presidency. we see effective it was to increasing...

Not pursuing their territorial ambitions. they even have them. but vladimir putin is and putin is keeps threatening. oh , i may use nukes or other weapons of mass destruction, biological chemical weapons. now putin is the guy that has nuclear weapons pointed at this city, new york city, washington, dc and other states in the united states and not ukraine. and like most bullies, putin will only respond to strength. so biden needs to stop bubbling and fizzing every time vladimir makes a threat lik...

To gather those instruments that will allow him to increase the human suffering inside of ukraine. >> i think you and a number of other people are seeing opportunity in this moment because its almost unfathomable that the ukrainian forces have still held off the russian advance, right? i mean, its not at all what was predicted from the beginning, and so by opportunity, i mean the fact that theyre doing their part, right? can you put this moment into context, just how ukrainian forces are doing a...
