If the russians flyjets like these into ukrainian airspace, then nato planes would directly engage them in combat in the skies. but it also means taking out threats on the ground to nato planes so they can enforce the zone, so potentially attacking russian surface—to—air missile sites, and russia has advanced s400 systems which could, in theory, shoot down nato planes even from over the border in belarus. nato has been building up its air power in the region but its secretary general yesterd...

Arthel: okay, if they do that -- how do they do that? if they declare that as a hue humanitarian zone, russian forces keep coming. so if they declare that, now does that put nato troops perhaps in direct contact with russian forces coming in prosecute east? >> there is -- from the east? if. >> there is a risk in that nato troops, including u.s. troops, would be a part of being in that humanitarian assistance zone and protecting it within western ukraine. and what that does, it puts president put...

Then nato planes would directly engage them in combat in the skies. but it also means taking out threats on the ground to nato planes so they can enforce the zone, so potentially attacking russian surface—to—air missile sites, and russia has advanced saoo systems which could, in theory, shoot down nato planes even from over the border in belarus. nato has been building up its air power in the region but its secretary general yesterday ruled out a no—fly zone because of the risk it would le...

Theres more to come from our side to include higher altitude. you heard the stinger goes up to about 10,000, 11,000 feet. that wont get after the russian jets that are operating at a higher level. so weve got better missiles we can offer our ukrainian friends that will get up into that zone. then ultimately, wolf, although we are kind of going through a little bit of logistic challenge i would call it with getting these polish fighters, these mig 29s into the hands of ukrainians, that would get ...

Zone? weather over the whole of ukraine, or as you suggested by some people, a limited zone of here and the humanitarian corridors? >> theyve ruled it out in the most essential thing is that the western alliance remains together. it has done so because establishing a no fly zone will mean shooting russian fighters out of the sky. it will do too little to protect ukrainians from the arterial missile fire going into civilian neighborhoods. and the big risk is that it gives putin the grounds to rap...

Ukrainian forces where you are today? >> yes. i am currently in kyiv. the ongoing battle for the airport is something that everybody has in mind. the airport is near kyiv. its a military airport. it has been taken by the russians. the ukrainian military was able to take it back but alleged reports right now say that theres ongoing fighting and we expect this airport to be the hottest zone of the war near kyiv in the coming hours. >> so what will you do if the air sirens go off again? will you st...

As everybody wants to move together. so thats critical. but those sanctions will have an impact. i also noted in that release from the white house that we and our allies are going to be going after the oligarchs, going after their mansions, going after their yachts. this is very good news and the kind of thing we should be doing. i also think limiting the humanitarian zone and the no fly zone, keeping people from leaving, is a good idea as well. >> i dont know if you just heard my interview with...

Kyiv, the capital city here. minister of defense for ukraine is saying russian forces have technically entered the capital city in the region of oberone, six miles south of the city center. it is not clear if they will advance toward the center or not, certainly a lot of frightened civilians, people are running for shelter, as close contact and fight suggest going on along the outskirts of the russian forces came from the north, had to fight their way through chernobyl before taking control of t...

Shelter dogs and had made a pact to stay together. safety in numbers. it was impossible. we were told repeatedly — and we showed our british passports — we were told no. we received help later on from the british consulate in romania, who were amazing, but again ukrainian border guards refused them into the dead man zone to help us cross. over the course of seven hours i saw about ten cars cross and no more than about 50 to 60 people. women and children only. we have lost that in the ukraini...

To 60 years old, yeah. lviv, a beautiful city, rich with history, pretty close to the polish border 50 miles away. stay safe, we understand why people are trying to flee the more dangerous zone in the east of ukraine. we will leave it there, mike and pick back up with you as the news allows and we will take a broader look at the eastern european region. russia, we will show a map here, i believe. as we know, russia is the massive chunk in red. ukraine is second largest city in europe. it is the ...
