stephanie ruhle. the russian invasion of ukraine s entering its 30th day, marking the beginning of a second month of war. today, as russia continued attacking ukraine cities, and ukrainian forces fought back, president biden was at an emergency summit in brussels, meeting with members of nato, the european union, and the g7. ukraine s president zelenskyy spoke to the nato allies virtually, warning the alliance still isn t doing enough to help. he also accused russia of using devastating phosphorus bombs, a troubling accusation the u.s. has yet to confirm. the accusation adds to the growing fear that vladimir putin may turn to chemical or biological weapons in his struggle to take over ukraine. today, biden and u.s. allies warn that that would not go unanswered. we would respond, we would respond if he uses it, and the nature of the responsible depend on the nature of the use. also today, more promises of additional humanitarian and
