south/southeast? reporter: well, it s the small hours of the morning. but don t expect too much of a reaction, anderson, to the latest line of propaganda coming out of moscow. those sorts of statements go back to the original intent, as outlined by vladimir putin, that this was a program of denaziification and an effort to demilitarize ukraine and return it to its neutral status. all of these justifications, so-called, for the war or outlining of the war aims taken with a bucket of salt here in ukraine. i think from the ukrainian perspective, what s most important to them is that they are now, certainly when it comes to the battle around kyiv, getting on the front foot. and they believe that they have held off successfully, the russians, to the west, northwest, and recently to the east, where we were earlier on yesterday, to try to force back this russian attempt to
trains pushing further into europe tend to take off this time of night here in poland. so, we re still seeing that. if you re at the border check points and the incoming trains, the flow of refugees has slowed down a little bit, but it is still steady. and anderson, one about a week ago people would tell us it took about two days to reach this point. but now we re hearing it s taking some families four or five days especially from eastern ukraine where they re navigating dangerous conditions on the roadways, bridges blown out, russian forces essentially picking civilians off of the road. check points and curfews they ve had to deal with. and because of that it s taking these refugees a lot longer to get here to poland. president biden is going to be meeting with refugees tomorrow. have you heard much about that? reporter: there hasn t been much release, but the president tomorrow afternoon is expected
decapitate the administration, to overrun the capital. and that now looks like it s been held off until at least the russians can get more reinforcements or more weapons. and that, they re seeing here in kyiv, is something of a success, anderson. how much are people able at this point to move around? i mean, the you know, there has been reporting from you and others that ukrainian forces, it seems have pushed russian forces back past their artillery range. so, are things quieter in kyiv? reporter: things are quieter in kyiv, although we can hear the ferocious battles that have been going on over the last few days, if you like, sort of on the outer ring of the capital. but in terms of attacks on the capital, they are down. the attacks now are very much the long range cruise missile type weapons that are still absolutely devastating, whether they re ones that get shot down but the war head survives and
people see something and they want to get involved and they actually get up and do it. zachary, it s really i appreciate talking to you and a remarkable thing you ve done. thank you so much. appreciate it. you the same. i really appreciate you having me on. if you want to help donate to the cause we re doing, buying medical gear, tourniquets, and gear, they can go online and they can volunteer. thanks, anderson. appreciate it. coming up, president biden s message to u.s. troops and the message he s sending to the world with the announcement coming out of his european visit. that s next. ers offers investors a broader view. we see companieses protecting the bottom line by putting people first. we see a bright future, still hungry for the ingenuity of those ready for the next challenge. today, we are translating decades of experience into strategies for the road ahead.
because it redraws the energy map, changes not only how they face. they face west now instead of facing east if this can be accomplished. it really does change the financing picture potentially for russia. we re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars every day that flow to russia from countries in europe for oil and natural gas. president biden also spoke with president duda about the humanitarian crisis out of ukraine. united states said they ve agreed now to take in 100,000 ukrainian refugees. that s been a very slow process so far. do you expect that number to go up? well, i think in the meantime it may well go up partly because poland is and you can t overstate it anderson. poland is really bearing a tremendous brunt of this right now. and they are at the center of this in multiple ways. a lot of the weapons transfers that are going into ukraine are coming through poland. and obviously now they re absorbing these refugee flows. so, poland and the united states have t
