whole world that everybody is watching 24/7. how our kids get killed. how our cities are being bombed and this is in the middle of europe. we had memorandums and treaties. we re an associated member of the european union so we were promised the protection when we gave up our nuclear weapons in the 90s. what happens now? nobody wants to even help us with the support to protect the sky, which means we need air defense system to shut down the airplanes if they enter the ukrainian space. otherwise we cannot protect from the bombs. we cannot protect our civilian population. we aren t talking about the army bases. he is not bombing army bases he is targeting civilians. he wants to kill as many ukrainians as he can so we will negotiate. this is crazy what s going on. when i see the world watching this 24/7 and telling us we can support you with sanctions but
peninsula. a town of kherson where the battle is pitched over the last couple of days because there is a bridge spanning the dnieper river to connect crimea to the mainland. the russians say they have dominance in that town. ukrainians dispute it. the town of mariupol, they re out of water and been without heat and electricity. harris: you know, mike tobin, before i let you go there have been areas and you mentioned the holocaust museum. we know part of the propaganda of this war because we don t really know what to believe coming out of the kremlin, is that they want to denazify the world. that makes absolutely no sense when you consider that the president of ukraine is jewish by faith.
him in munich at the security conference with leaders from a number of countries. and i looked at the crowd and i said i know he just made me feel uncomfortable and a lot of people thought he should stay in ukraine. that is not his style. he came here and pushed the envelope on behalf of his people. and there is a reason that ukrainians gave us flags when the bipartisan group visited. and he is motivating his country against all odds to stand up in whatever way they can. and people see that. they see the authenticity of leadership. and we may not agree with everything he says, that is okay. the point is he is rallying his people and he is staying where he is supposed to be and he is putting it forward in a very forceful way that vladimir putin is a thug and he should go home and stay out of their country. let me ask you about the supreme court and the
said that he felt putin had gone off the rails. and then now this call for a high alert, you know, combat readiness of nuclear forces which is really crazy given that the west and the united states has repeatedly said we re not getting involved militarily. so you raise, you know, an interesting question. is this an existential fear for him that ukraine that is open, thriving, free, become as kind of symbol of everything russia is not. and maybe that is at the heart, the nature of the threat that ukraine poses to russia. it seems like ukrainians, they don t want to become russians but you have a lot of russians who i suppose if you gave them the choice might want to be more ukrainian in terms of their way of life and the way that they have freedoms in ukraine that they don t have in russia. you know, the ukraine delegation has agreed to meet with the russians at the border with
layering this on top of all of the days of intense russian shelling here. they went after this second city when they couldn t get into kyiv and they haven t gotten there yet. she is in the center of kyiv and that 40-mile long convey, that blood thirsty killing convoy of russian forces is still headed in her direction. in other areas like kharkiv people have had to flee. they do not stay. fighting has reportedly killed dozens there. i don t like to talk about numbers like that but it is hard to come up with hard numbers and i know people are not eggs but we are trying to give you a context that it is more than one, more than a few. despite the relentless attacks ukrainians are holding steady against the onslaught now. and a senior pentagon official is telling us that there is evidence morale is starting to wane among the russian soldiers. ukraine foreign ministry tweeted this shows some russians reported losses.
