the administration is trying to assess is how is the best what is the best way of getting these weapons into ukraine given the complexities, given the fact that russia is targeting now closer to the polish border. and that is one of the things we believe that if president biden does come here next week, does come to brussels to meet with other nato leaders, will be on the agenda. nato says it is not providing these weapons to ukraine as a whole, the member countries, they will need to figure out the best way to keep this assistance flowing. secretary of defense lloyd austin, of course, also coming to brussels to discuss that with his counterparts here. brianna? natasha, thank you so much for that report. appreciate it. again, we have been looking at these pictures right now of these residential buildings, apartment complexes, in kyiv ablaze. at least four separate attacks in the city over the last 24 hours. civilians there suffering. and word now that a two-day curfew is in place
allies in that recent speech. now beijing has to measure, is it going to be the worth the potential economic pain, secondary sanctions haven t kicked in yet, but those could really impact china. and europe, the u.s., and asean countries who largely are honoring these moves against russia, they re china s largest trading partners so what i m watching for is when china starts distancing, well, if it starts distancing itself from putin, then he s really politically finished. kim, you look at these measures that david culver was delineating there, allowing the ruble to fall further, denying air craft parts to russia, and keeping its banks, at least one of its banks out of russia and belarus. those sound to me like sanctions. certainly nothing close to the degree of u.s. and western sanctions on russia. but those aren t just neutral steps. those are negative steps. are they not? from china towards russia?
on hall later today. kim, you know all too much about this type of situation. you were severely injured in iraq in 2006. it was a car bomb that hit you and your team right now. what must it be like inside that community right now? well, i can understand why fox is being careful about what details it releases because you ve got to let the families know what you know and since ben and his team are still inside ukraine, that information is going to be limited. i m also thinking about ben waking up and his team possibly injured in a hospital bed without family around them, possibly not everyone speaking the same language. you re already dealing with a severe injury and painkiller and out of it. my thoughts are with him and his family. i m worried about the fact that the hospitals in ukraine are having trouble with electricities, water supply, things like that. so, ben is now facing the situation faced by so many
than 2 million ukrainian refugees who crossed the border remain in poland and it has proved to be a massive strain. the number, the nature of the female and child population that makes it particularly difficult to deal with. what has been extraordinary is the outpouring from ordinary people who wanted to help. we ll show you the images here of people who continue to trickle through this border. one of the other points is that though there are bottlenecks that europeans are trying to iron out now to try to help, the vast majority of people want to stay here next to the border because they believe this is a war that will be won and all they want is to go home. melissa bell from the poland/ukrainian border, thank you very much. let s dig deeper on this conflict with time magazine contributor kim dozer. we re joined by mark kimmitt, the assistant secretary of state for political and military
leaders in kyiv with the knowledge there might be a nato meeting next week, president zelenskyy addressing u.s. congress tomorrow what pressure do you think will be on the united states to perhaps increase the already substantial aid in weapons and whatnot going into ukraine? well, i ve spoken to diplomats very frustrated with the biden administration. you know what, we should have tried to get them those mig 29s just as a psychological boost. i think there will be a lot of pressure on the biden administration to get maybe s300 missile defense systems in. everything short of those fighter jets to make zelenskyy and the ukrainian people feel like we might not be on the ground with you, but we re behind you and doing everything we can to help. kim dozer, thank you so much for your help on all this. great to see you this morning. these european leaders, prime ministers, traveling to kyiv, we believe, at this moment to meet with president zelenskyy. this comes just as nato leaders ar
