Helicopter shot down north of kyiv, one small victory for ukraine against a powerful enemy. orla guerin, bbc news, irpin. were going to show you some pretty stark video now — the alliance persistently refused to contemplate an no—fly zone. russian aircraft had been in the skies over ukraine, outnumbering defenders. thats led to calls for whats known as a no—fly zone to prevent them posing a threat. so far, the western military alliance nato has been reluctant to use its air power to impose...

Nuclear facility, thats of civilian use, and so hes kind of crossed the rubicon, and really put us into a whole other zone of strategy. now, hes probably, yes, trying to terrorize clearly the ukrainian civilians, cut off their power, create civilian pain to lever some victory because hes failing in battlefield but this is a different level of fear. there are nuclear power plants all over the united states. they are also 47 in china. 38 in russia. once this pandoras box is opened, and it has been...

Ukraine to sit idle or not use them. he is going to do more. that is when he gets in to the zone of unintended consequences. right now he is controlling the script. when you start to pull triggers and drop bombs, things can go bad and he wont be in such control. i think we need to anticipate that. >> i think you are right. the biden administration revealed plans of putins plans every step of the way. >> i am all for it. now, there is a down side of course when you reveal particularly on such a t...

Through concrete bunkers, communication systems, headquarters. thats one of the weapons they have out there ready to use. the russians really, historically, love artillery. they use it a lot. and things like this short-range ballistic missile system. we know there are 36 of these, according to ukrainians, on the edge of this fighting zone. important to note here, range of 310 miles. you can fire almost halfway across the country with that. so, without even entering ukraine, they could strike eve...

I think there is a certain rational side to him. which is he wants to have this zone or this sphere of influence around russia. and that includes these countries like ukraine. georgia and others. that he wants really kind of sanitized of nato. so in that sense, he now has decided obviously that he will do whatever it takes in his mind to get ukraine under control. now the problem with the military with the russian military is they have gotten a lot better since the georgiaen war. and a more disc...

Did in iraq when we saved the kurds and saddam hussein was going after them. humanitarian action, it was not perceived as an attack on iraq or attack on anyone else, it was humanitarian action. i understand the objections of people who say look, we are going to be confronting russian aircraft directly and this is where it comes down to rules of engagement that we would have to communicate very, very clearly, that we are not there to attack russian forces on the ground, we will only fire if we ar...

Last few days leading up to this. some of them where staying in hotels around here. some have moved in some plants. they are here because i thought theyd escape, you know, potential carnage elsewhere in the country. they think this is a safe zone but what these unconfirmed reports of troops going south from belarus, there might be no city safe in the country. >> trace: very good point. no city safe. lucas, well get back to you as a news warrants. it should be noted that earlier amy kellogg told ...

Them across the border, lives are being upended, lives that will never be the same not only with the death toll and destruction, the humanitarian crisis. here in ukraine six hours west of the capitol we are seeing thousands pointer, not just the city but surrounding areas trying to get to a safe zone, troops have showed up and it is devastating. jon: you are, among other things, you are a u.s. navy veteran, we know 1000 or so stinger missiles perhaps more are on their way to join the battle on t...

The mayor of this city said strikes came outside of the city as well. as he mentioned ukrainians claim they annihilated russians support for the aircraft. president zelensky said is a russian hit squad is after him and his family. he said hes not going anywhere. things are quiet here. but its past 4 a.m. earlier today we saw fear on peoples faces and long lines at the gas pumps and at banks people getting gas and tens of thousands fleeing the capital coming to the safe zone but there were some p...

So what im looking for, unfortunately for ukraine, is a significant rise in air attacks, missile strikes, more mass being thrown at the problem because thats the russian way of war, overwhelm with mass, do it from the air. it is not working perfectly on the ground. he is going to try to really knock the ukrainians back in the air. last thought, what should we be doing. we need to be doing exactly what the president and his team are doing, which is to say rally the west, push the diplomacy, but a...
