bret: jacqui heinrich live in bali, thank you. the latest we know that there was this barrage from russia into ukraine of missiles. some 90 of them. according to authorities. reuters is moving the front poland russian produced rocket fell on polish village and the polish foreign ministry has summoned the russian ambassador; however, it s important to point out that this could be a ukrainian surface-to-air missile that did or did not hit a russian missile targeting inside ukraine. so, we don t have all of those answers as of yet. but that is what authorities saying and there are a lot of meetings trying to find out exactly what hit inside poland. we re less than three hours away from what sources say will be the start of donald trump s third white house run. former president is scheduled to make a major announcement at 9:00 p.m. eastern time at his florida compound mar-a-lago.
tried to get away, it has not been an easy job to do. if you are in the eastern part of the country certainly. we caught up with an american who managed to escape and we spoke with dave chapman from maryland a couple of days ago saying living in central ukraine for the last year with his ukrainian wife. he managed to get out. take a listen. air raid sirens at night and rockets and my wife said that she heard from her brother yesterday that they shot down some rockets over the city. stores that were actually open had empty shelves and little else but unlike so many other ukrainians, his family decided not to take a train to escape. we paid on a van, 18 passenger van and drove all night to the border and then volunteers picked us up at the border and took us across the polish border and then they took us to a village school there and there was a bus here.
it has been a fast three hours. we re back tomorrow. the latest on the president in poland. tomorrow is friday. this week flew by. dana: moments from now president biden will meet with g-7 leaders one month after russian president vladimir putin ordered his troops to invade ukraine. good morning i m dana perino. bill has time off. i have trace with me. trace: i m trace gallagher. this is america s newsroom. new footage coming in overnight in what could be a major setback for russian forces. ukraine navy claims it destroyed a russian warship packed with ammo. the latest blow to putin s war and comes as nato leaders meet to form a united response against him and his invasion.
announced the u.s. will accept up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees and provide $1 billion in humanitarian aid. 3.6 million people have left ukraine since the war began a month ago with thousands more arriving daily. many neighboring countries are reaching cap as at the. ashley webster joins us from poland with more. hi, ashley. hi there, dana. it is good news. that announcement from the biden administration they ll take 100,000 refugees either through the refugee program or fast tracking those refugees that may have relatives or friends in the united states. to be honest with you, it s just a drop in the ocean when you consider that 2.1 million refugees have already come across the border. it is slowing down. with every further attack by russia on ukraine we see a new wave of refugees come across the border. of course, for those that have
said they can t cope. are they doing it? it is difficult, trace. i think that s the next phase of the story. it seems like many stories we cover. it happens in phases. the first part we show up at a border crossing and surprised to see the story developing there. people more going back in than coming out and now it s a story widely reported but it s shocking to see people going back to defend their country and stories like you see now. this young woman she and her mother and grandmother have traveled from kharkiv. took them five days. went through kyiv and bombs falling at the train station. they get to poland when we met them and talking about maybe we ll go to germany. they didn t know where they would go. so happy to get out of ukraine. i ve stayed in touch with that family. they are in their third or fourth kun tree. ended up in prague for a couple of weeks but couldn t find work.
