airstrikes are actually emanating and never coming the aircraft are never leaving russian airspace or belarusian airspace. they are not venturing in to the ukrainian airspace and if they do, they don t stay long. of, course a lot of the airstrikes are missile strikes. they re being watched from air fields and insides inside russia or belarus. the ukrainians have been very effective in how they are trying to defend their skies. we assess that the skies are contested. here s the other thing, we re also working with other allies and partners who have long range air defense systems that we know the ukrainians know how to use, like the s-300, and we try to work with them to see if they can provide some of those systems to help replenish the stocks of ukrainians. admiral, to the extent that russia has said and might be really refocusing some of its efforts on eastern ukraine, which is where this all started, what are your concerns about that? this is an area that has been a hot water
0 empty stream and the next second chaos is erupting around you. we don t know the extent of his injuries but we re praying for him and his family that he comes back to us. sandra: we should have an update soon, we hope, from the hospital there. thanks for joining us. i m sandra smith. john: and i m john roberts. the story with martha starts right now. martha: thanks to you both. we re all praying for ben hall at this hour as john and sandra just told you. i m martha maccallum at fox headquarters in new york. right now on the story, as questions are raised about america s role in the world, putin is knocking at nato s door and president zelensky says what he said all along. and now i repeat again, if you do not close our sky, it s a matter of time before russian missiles fall on your territory, nato territory, on the homes of citizens of nato countries. martha: with that in mind, keep in mind our rivals are forcing closer ties today as china, russia and iran simultaneousl
0 official, i asked him if president putin is directing this himself. and he said yes, that is how it is going. that is not surprising. we know that president putin makes all of the decisions. in the end, he will have had advice from that small clique around him, that ultimately he is the decision-maker. and another element of his televised address, which to reiterate, if russians will be stunned by. waking up and seeing now, another man from that televised address, which is chilling frankly. is that president putin requires russian s nuclear capability. and clearly, openly threatens western leaders. even after the collapse of the ussr, losing a significant part of the nuclear potential. today, russia is one of the most nuclear powers. and he says, i think that this is a direct message to the west. in this regard, no one should have any doubt that a direct attack on russia will lead to defeat and dire consequences for a potential aggressor. and so, i just want to say all, just before t
