there? things have changed in the last few hours. he is highlighting the movement in a couple of hours. when we went on the air this morning steve was saying they were 2 to 6 miles outside the city of kyiv. whatever is happening amphibiously and in the east seems to be a preoccupation for the ukraine army because it seems the intent to decapitate. decapitate the ukrainian government which means take kyiv, take zelensky. bill: if that happens then you start to wonder and you ask yourself the question. we aren t there yet by all means but hypothetically speaking for all the ukrainians who picked up arms, do they continue to fight? all indications are they will at the moment. harris: i want to get to this. president biden said for putin ukraine is part of a bigger plan. let s listen together and i ll
back to our lives. they have more than just a little bit of hope. they have a tremendous resolve. i have not talked to a ukrainian yet who has disagreed with the notion of picking up arms and fighting. when we talk with the veterans. i ve caught veterans on their way down to an office where they are receiving that weapon being given out by the national police. we went down to that office today and the line was long with people volunteering to pick up a weapon and fight. the mayor of kyiv, you probably know him as a fighter. he and his brother have joined the fight and they are really encouraging people to a man i have not spoken with anyone who was interested in leaving the country and the young men who are headed for the polish border are being refused to come back and do their part for their home. what i hear from ukrainians as well is this isn t 2014. it is not a situation where putin can take over the crimea
cpac in florida. i want to get to the point where we are where we are waiting 30 days for the new sanctions. senator cotton says not that much from this president. what is he waiting to see? harris, i think it s unexplainable. a day late and a billion rube else short the whole way. we have allowed him to dictate the pace and speed. we responded with weakness. we can all argue but make no mistake vladimir putin won t change his behavior. you can see what s happening the tragedy on the streets of kyiv and other cities and in the south. we can see the tragedies unfolding and we see a president say we should fire up american energy and provide it and give resources and capabilities so ukraine can continue to fight as long as it takes. harris: one of the videos we ve seen is from the
peninsula and pay no consequence. they want to fight back. harris: many people describe they have been at war for eight years since crimea. they could see something coming and went on with daily lives and hope to again. great reporting as always. thank you very much. we want to bring in more of the video that we have that shows an apartment building in kyiv demolished in a russian air assault. ukrainians surveying the damage. you see the guy standing pointing at all of the walls that have fallen away and the windows. the city s mayor said the damage was caused by rocket fragments. three people were hurt in the attack. russian troops are moving closer now, we re told, to the center of kyiv. they were in the northern part of the city when we had jennifer griffin on earlier with trey yengst as he was describing it. they are on the move. putin seems to have a new focus
bill: just one thing on ukraine. about the size of texas, all right? big state. there are at least five cities with at least a million people. population of kyiv is 3 million alone. having more demand is well taken already. dana: good to be with you. we ll see those reports throughout the day. here is the the faulkner focus . harris: breaking news, russian forces have breached kyiv, the capital of ukraine. this is day two of vladimir putin s brutal and blood assault on a sovereign nation. i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus .
