situations. so that is why telling the truth, i mean, so many war crimes and we really, that is why, for example, our president and former president suggests the plan to president zelenskyy, we are now all united and we are asking our russian friends to provide legislation, no-fly zone, we need air fighting jets, really, to defend our air, and you know, and not bombard again the humanitarian corridors, so that is why, and we need as much weapon as to defend ourselves. i think that it s, you know, humanitarian situation would be better when we can defend ourselves. gillian: you and president zelenskyy have made that case clear and beautifully to the west. we will let you get back to your son. i m sorry. gillian: no, don t apologize.
seems like mr. putin is deterring us and allies more than we are deterring him and unfortunately time is on his side because he s just going to keep coming, keep grinding this out until he s stopped. president biden is on his way here to warsaw. before he left his last stop, he sat down with troops from the 82nd airborne, and a piece of pizza that was apparently so spicy he s been clearing his throats at events that followed and blaming it on jalapeno peppers. gillian. gillian: oh, dear. hope he feels better soon. thanks so much. john: bring in rebecca grant, the president of iris independent research, analyst and fox news contributor. a lay of the land around kyiv, chernihiv up here, going northwest in kharkiv, and
