air targets have been on the outskirts of lviv s second largest city in ukraine. what was on the first night of the sirens sound, they airstrip one of the north and one of the south of lviv. it takes a little while for the information to filter back so we don t know what triggered the sunny runs and what caused that and what it. what we are seeing on the ground to end lviv big run on paint. every bank has a line in front of it and every atm has a line in front of it, waiting for the banks to open up to get the cash out. i tried to withdraw money from an atm here and it would only allow me to do a withdrawal 50 ukrainian which works out to be $1.50 spirits away big run on the banks. martial law is imposed. we see the soldiers walking around on the streets. we have video of that. and also at the same time, you know the national police made an offer to hand out weapons to any veteran who wants to take up
commodities. todd, we have seen on february 4th the announcement of $117.5 billion in new oil and gas deals, just a couple of days ago russia announced the sale of 100 million metric tons of coal to china. these are ways that china can pour more money into russia. in other words to help brush invade ukraine, the baltic states and whatever is in putin s mind at the time. also remember they are resisting oil and gas deals. the flow of money from china to russia is substantial. carley: you know whom i think the u.s. and europe have learned a lesson when it comes to ukraine that we need to provide more aid to them. when it comes to taiwan, is the u.s. providing them enough aid right now in the case that china does eventually invade and try to take over? no, we are not providing
sirens. we know the first night there was an airstrip to the south of lviv that was targeted and went to the north. we don t know what triggered them last night but the residents are terrified, hunker down and what ever kind of shelter they could appear as lines are forming up at banks once again as there is a run on cash. as soon as the banks are opening, people are piling and trying to get as much cash as they can carry. there is a line in front of every atm. i tried to get some money out of the atm and all i could withdraw is the equivalent of $1.50 in ukrainian money. the streets here are not the parent appear they are quiet as martial law is in effect. you see the soldiers out on the street. also what you see, while the soldiers are out on the street, ak-47 and also volunteers, retired military, i should say the national police announced they would be handing out
and i m not going anywhere. they need me here. i am going to go wherever i can be useful. i don t judge anybody who is leaving. it is okay, especially if you have small children and everything. it is not a problem. but i m staking because i can be a help. carley: i understand you are in touch with ukrainian troops. what of those conversations like and what is the morale like among them right now? absolutely amazing. i m very proud of my military. it is the best military in the world. i don t called him. i wait for them to call me. that is our agreement. they give me what they need and sometimes they need equipment and try to find that with the civilians around here. people are sending money. they are all hopeful and sending us videos, smiling cheerfully. so, you know, it has been good to talk with him. todd: do you feel the ukrainian government prepares
but we are scared and people don t know what to do. we have run into more issues concerning supplying our military and currently helping fund-raising for ukrainian military. we run into an issue of blocking one of the pages, one of the biggest fun charity that we have been collecting money for appearance of that was a problem. but also an issue, being risen by the military in the region has been quite stressful around here but again, staying calm and hoping for the best. people are collective and relatively calm and yes there are lines at the bank. that is completely justified but there is groceries in the store. so we are getting prepared, basically. todd: define your efforts trying to help people flee. why did you decide to stay? because that is my country
