Into the country. i think that they can do. it but that would decidedly change the balance of power inside of the country if the ukrainians have large numbers of the first class and detects and anti aircraft weapons. and with respect to the nukes a lot of people say it s saber-rattling. it may very well be an indication that putin cannot figure out what to do what to say. but most people think that it is an attempt to scare nato into not imposing the kind of strict economic structures that we have. yasmin? yes, which by the way is what we know is not going to happen. colonel, jack jacob, thank you so much for your analysis on. this is still ahead, everybody, hundreds and thousands of ukraine s are feeling the country seeking refuge in nearby countries. we are going to talk to an official with the un refugee agency. stationed at the border of ukraine in poland next. you re watching msnbc reports. we ll be right back. msnbc reports. we ll be right back. ....
Ukrainians, they are willing to fight for kyiv for their country. until the bitter end. but at the same time, this is taking a huge toll. especially on the civilian population. i was just speaking to a keep wyden who is taking park in territory with all hands on deck effort. he was telling me that, yesterday, his wife was driving their three children during curfew time through the streets of kyiv. it is unclear exactly what happened, but she was shot and seriously injured. she is now in hospital. he is now taking care of their three children, no longer able to partake in the territorial defense effort until their grandparents can arrive to take care of the kids. it is just one story that just shows you the human impact of this invasion. yasmin? the impact, the desperation, what an incredibly tragic story there. erin, thank you so much as always for your incredible reporting on the ground. i m gonna let you go. ....

Forces on high alert, i think it s the most extreme example of that. the view of u.s. defense officials talking to nbc news, our colleagues at the pentagon, is that this is likely saber rattling rather than a real side the vladimir putin has any intention of launching a new color weapon. we don t know what s his orders mean on the ground. we don t know how many additional warheads may not be on high alert. the united states does not comment on his defense posture, on the new color posture. so we don t know what the u.s. is doing in response to this. but, this is certainly, an unlimited moment outside of what is happening on the ground in ukraine. yasmin? rat, it s quite a saber-rattle. if in fact that is what it. is saber-rattling, so i guess i followed that up with who s advising. and we know that he has an incredibly close knit circle of people that advise vladimir ....
