nations isn t going to do anything, maybe they will come up with a new alliance and we could be seeing justth bud of that right now. rachel: one thing in the speech that zelenskyy gave yesterday to congress. he basically called out president biden and said lead, leafed the free world. and what we could know that joe biden is doing is in about 10 days he will head out to europe. doesn t sound like he is leading or his diplomats are doing everything they can and that blinken has not gone to europe or joined the other leaders in going to kyiv and hopefully moving peace forward. steve: why? he has a zoom call. rachel: he has a private jet that we pay for that we would like for him to use. a refugee center is going up near the border of ukraine and slovakia. brian: yup, more than 228,000 refugees seeking safety in slovakia over 3.1 million ukrainians have fled their war torn country. steve: that is where alex hogan is now she joins us live
know? strategically, it doesn t make any sense. just think about it. they just finished the olympics, they are heading towards the 20th national party congress in the fall, which is a big deal in the chinese government process. this is where they fully intend to enshrine president xi for auto third term, likely it s indefinite. and certainly everything is focused on that event. they are not going to start a war around that event at all. now, listen, they are paying close attention to what s happening here. certainly they are noting nato strengthening more unified. they are noting the eu coming together. and pushing some pretty hard sanctions on russia. and they are going to look at that their number one trading partner is the eu. and look at what those sanctions mean for them. and certainly they are looking at the ukrainian resistance taking place. they know full well the
systems, the javelin missiles, the stinger missiles being fed from western european nations, some of them coming from the united states. so, they are grateful for the help. they always want more, of course, it is making a difference of weapons that we, the united states, and other nations are supplies to ukraine. rachel: thank you, jonathan, great stuff. all right. well, meanwhile president zelenskyy as we know went to our congress yesterday pleading for more help. he says that the entire civilization of the world is at stake. steve: in fact, he sat down with lester holt and this interview took place on nbc and lester holt asked the president whether he is worried as the biden administration is, that certain actions, like if we give them the migs or do a no-fly zone. if that will start world war iii. mr. zelenskyy says world war iii may already have started.
