continues to rain terror from the skies in the form of missiles, rockets, airstrikes and drones. both near the battlefield in the east of the country and far from the front lines. in places like tel aviv and right here in the capital city of kyiv. when something that is evident. the aerate siren to become a part of everyday life here. there been multiple air raid sirens each day. one of them about two hours ago. well most ukrainians have come to live with them, hearing them, acknowledging them and a largely continuing on with their day. from my team and me, in a fury sarah does go off during the show, we will need to immediately leave this location and relocate to a more secure place. if that does happen, my friend and colleague jonathan capehart is standing by in new york to pick up our coverage until i m safe and said to rejoin. tomorrow, president joe biden is heading to poland were on tuesday, he will deliver remarks commemorating the anniversary of the invasion. since fe
good day. i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. a deadlock in congress and a stalemate on the battlefield. the excruciating reality facing ukrainian president zelenskyy as he comes to capitol hill looking for help. could he wind up going home empty-handed? plus, a question the supreme court has never had to answer in the course of american history until now. can the former president face federal prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office? the massive stakes involved, and the new implications that the court could be ruling to decide things once and for all. and a new nightmare emerging in gaza. word that fully half of the population there is starving. the latest on that and new calls from the heads of multiple global organizations for the u.s. to step up and put a stop to, quote, the humanitarian nightmare taking place. i ll talk to one of the women in charge coming up. but we start with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy
joseph solitude the helm in 1924. he would lead the ussr for three decades. world war ii began with an agreement between hitler and stalin to carve up much of eastern europe between german and soviet spheres of influence. less than two years into that deal, hitler broke the packs and invaded the soviet union. stolen worked with the u.s. to liberate not see held country sun eastern europe. as the soviets deliberated nation after nation, it began to install their own communist governments. claiming the land as her own unsettling ethnic russians in a non-russian speaking countries. at the war stand, the u.s. and the uk had feared the global spread of communism so in 1949, the united states, canada and ten european allies formed the north atlantic treaty organization, nato. nato was formed in 1949 with the solo intention of providing collective security against an expansion of soviet union. the foundations of the alliance were laid down with the signing of the north atlantic treaty.

is forced to decide, should we continue to fight the russians, or should we help our civilian population? so they re put on the horns of a dilemma in terms of what the military and the territorial forces can do to not only fight the enemy but also contribute to the safety of their citizens. and big picture, where does this war stand for the russians because they ve certainly not taken any big cities. mariupol seems to have all but fallen to their forces but that s after having flattened the place really into submission and into a pile of rubble. so what about the overall picture for russia now? well, what i ve said repeatedly, hala, is they had four objectives coming in here. they wanted to seize the capital in order to displace the ukrainian government, mr. zelenskyy. they wanted to subjugate the nation of ukraine by defeating its army, either encircling it or destroying it.
