all of 2021. and i think this is where a lot of the administration s diplomacy over the next few weeks will be very important because you can t moralize to these countries. they re going to see we ll get a good deal when we see one, but red lines will likely have to be drawn if putin escalates, if chemical weapons or nuclear weapons are on the table. i think that s where the question of not just western unity but global unity will become so much more important. ravi, raf sanchez, carol lee, thank you for being with us. i want to bring in a mariupol city council member. thank you so much for being with us. what are you hearing from those who are still in mariupol about what is going on right now? situation is getting more catastrophic every day.
how do you explain this horrible situation? i have no words to explain. so you need to understand that these people now in mariupol, they have no rights. the only law in the city is russian occupiers with automatic guns. they only tell the rules. and the people who want to get out from the city need to get to the filtration camps. in 20th century, it s horrific and horrible. i just don t know, maxim. what is it you re asking the world to do? it seems like there is so much need, there is so little time, there is so much blood, there is so much death.
is they get mariupol, it s not true. our military is still fighting and putin don t want to, how to say, capture it, it s totally lie. they continue trying to capture and continue to fight. president biden just a few minutes ago we heard him say that he has seen no evidence that mariupol has fallen to the russians. i m just wondering, maxim, you re talking about the 100,000 plus civilians that are there, and you describe a city that has been devastated, no hospitals, no water, no electricity, no way to get food and medicine in. yet those people are stuck there.
the people so you understand, the people who fled to ukrainian site from occupied mariupol, they can t get there anymore. for about a week only they can go to the occupied by russia territories and to the russia side. from there, if they have money, they can get to the european union. so a lot of people can t have choice where to go, and russian shows it s like people choose russia to go out from mariupol. it s terrible. maxim, thank you for being with us. appreciate it. still ahead, breaking news from the biden administration. we re live with the new plan to bring ukrainians fleeing the war safely into the united states. the president talking about a legal way to get to the united states from europe, not having to go to the border. we re keeping an eye on the
what are you asking the world to do now? i think the most problem is to understand to all the world that they need to be united in this situation, like war with hitler, it s the same situation. even if someone don t understand world war iii, it already started. we need all support we can. for most of the people, there are only numbers with death. but for our it s our families, our friends, it s our parents. it s terrible. so people need to understand that it s not only numbers behind this. maxim, are the people of mariupol facing gu lag arc pel low in russia? is that what it s coming to?
