what happened in the town is evident of widespread war crimes. by what we have seen, we can conclude that russia is worse than isis, in the scale and the ruthlessness of the crimes committed. we re also learning russian forces have targeted yet another oil processing plant and more fuel depots. this time near the port city of odessa. it claims it fired missiles of both aircraft and ships at that target. black smoke and fire could be seen from afar shortly after the strike. it is a major blow to ukrainian forces who use this port for the navy. farther up the coast there in ukraine, you go to a city like mariupol, steve, and just horrific images coming out of there as well, up to 100,000 people still stuck there, and
latest border fiasco. maxine watters latest political outrage. the white house s latest hunter biden lie. and the democrats latest insane authoritarian corona law extremism. we start with the latest from russia s war on ukraine. as russian forces withdraw from their portions around kyiv to apparently focus on the eastern southern parts of ukraine, they leave behind shocking evidence of war crimes including rape, massacre of civilians and mass graves. russian missile attacks reported in the vital southern port city of odessa while ukrainian forces report a successful counterattack inside russia, a helicopter destroying a russian fuel depot. far from undermining putin s regime, the west s current strategy has strengthened the russian dictator with public support increasing and hardliners condemning suggestions of compromise emerging from the latest peace talks in turkey. let s go now to jeff paul who is
over. you know, the white house keeps brandishing this term strategic defeat for russia, and i think they are getting way ahead of themselves. this is a repositioning. he still has a lot of soldiers, a lot left to really dive in to eastern ukraine, which by the way is the most energy-rich, mineral-rich part of the country. if he has that plus the black seaports, he still has eyes on odessa. in the long run, and you had some previous guests talking about how europe will just snap back into its old habits and its old addiction on russia gas russian gas, and i think in the long run, he still thinks he can come out ahead on this one. steve: what should we be doing now? you know, this is the policy question before the biden administration. are we truly going to help
your social networks on tv. support us in any way you can. bill: this is from sunday as russia retreats in the north. it s bearing down on the southern port city of odessa. missiles blowing up an oil refinery and warehouses that store fuel. dana: general jack keane is standing by but let s begin with alex hogan live from lviv. good morning. good morning. ukraine has won the battle of kyiv but the extent of the damage is now visible with this regained territory. we will not show the most brutal of this footage. i want to warn that these images are difficult to see. bodies lining the streets. men and women who have been recovered in some of these northern territories. ukrainian forces are calling this the scene of a horror morey. the mayor of bucha says more
southern port city of odessa. russians say that they destroyed an oil refinery in several storage facilities. the war seems to be shifting east. russian forces have apparently pulled out of the area in and around kyiv. but we are starting to see disturbing video emerging from that area. in bucha, for example, witnesses say that there are dead bodies on the streets and that russian forces have opened fire on civilians. but a rare bit of good news for mariupol, where several hundred residents have been evacuated on humanitarian buses. this all comes as there is some hope for a meeting between president putin and president zelenskyy. ukraine s lead negotiator says that both countries have come to an agreement on most issues except once. the issue of crimea. and they face to face meeting could happen, quote, in the near future, in turkey.
