because you cane. track us to the exactly when we'll be there a few more minutes. there a few more minutes. let's go that's service that yours can go to a safe place .com let me pay your things like replace the fox news alert the sounds of war drawdown talk of peace. russian forces pursuing their relentless attacks on the southern and eastern regions of ukraine even as negotiators express positive developments from turkey . meanwhile, there's a suggest that ukraine's president could meet with russia's leader. however skeptical observers here in the west warn not so fast. we'll see. i don't read anything into it. i see what your actions are. we'll see if they follow through with or suggest to and with that we welcome you once again to our continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. i'm kevin corke here in washington. and kevin, great to be with you. i'm drifting on the ground in ukraine bringing you continue coverage of the crisis in eastern europe. it's 8:00 in the morning here in libya. the battle for ukraine's independence now entering its fifth week and for the first time since the start of the war, a hasn't progress towards peace, but it falls way short of a cease fire and there has in some movement by russian troops pulling back from the capital city of key moscow, calling it a repositioning not a retreat. meantime, grim for ukrainians on the battlefield. talk of peace has yet to make a difference. the ongoing into and shelling of their cities has created an apocalyptic scene and one u.n. official describes as a catastrophe on top of catastrophe beyond anything seen since world war two and we begin our coverage of the war on ukraine with our correspondent and our co-anchor tonight group jenkins, who joins us from lviv in the western part of ukraine. good morning, grif. kevin. good morning. well, i'll tell you the talk and optimism any sort of peace is being very tepidly accepted . and president zelenskyy in an address last night saying that we should be cautious about what the russians intend to do on that pullback. and he also says that he is about to pull his anytime soon. here's president zelenskyy watch. the situation has not become easier. the scale of the challenges is not diminished. the russian army still has significant potential to continue attacks against our state. they still have a lot of equipment and enough people completely deprived of the right to whom they can send to the cauldron of war . therefore we stay alert and do not reduce our defense efforts . >> and kevin, this comes as there are no signs of peace in the south in that key seaport city of nikolaev hit by a rocket. you can see here that's the administration regional government administration building reportedly killed 12 , wounded another twenty two and another rocket nearby landing next to an apartment complex blowing out windows. meanwhile, ukraine forces remain on the offensive. russian media saying that rockets were fired from ukraine into russia. russian media saying that two border towns had to be evacuated. and we are also seeing kevin counter-offensive success as ukrainian forces enter their second week of a counteroffensive after 24 hours ago saying that they had taken back the key northern area of rpn 24 hours ago. now they say in detroit, donetsk about 200 miles east of kyiv, just north kharkiv, the second biggest city. they are saying that they have made gains there as well, pushing russian troops back in one final note worth pointing out, if you recall that snake island incident where ukrainian soldiers saying where he could go with that warship, russian warship, well, that soldier was reportedly honored by ukrainian. you can see here him receiving a medal ukrainian forces saying that they are awfully proud of what he did. that's the latest here. kevin, i will touch base with you obviously throughout the hour. we appreciate that . meantime, ukrainian and russian negotiators saying they've been making progress during talks in turkey, russia, meanwhile, is signaling a shift in strategy. they're claiming it has drastically reduced their military activity near kyiv. however, u.s. leaders remain skeptical. fox news correspondent madeline rivera has more on that from washington as the the outcome of these peace talks in istanbul, russia is announcing a strategy change that some see as the most tangible sign yet of progress towards de-escalation in ukraine. >> woman of russian defense ministry made a decision to radically by a large margin reduce military activity in the kiv and chernov's directions. >> the shift comes as ukraine lays out a possible framework for a future peace deal at asking for a legally binding security guarantees and is willing to make some concessions in return. we want as required by our ukrainian constitution hosten arterials or a foreign military bases and foreign troops and we won't join military and political blocs. but u.s. officials say they're skeptical of russia's comments and regard troop movements around crtv as a redeployment, not a withdrawal. they're warning of another major offensive in other parts of ukraine, adding the threat to the country's capital isn't over . nobody should be fooling ourselves by the kremlin's now recent claim that it will suddenly just reduce military attacks near kiv or any reports that it's going to withdraw all its forces. after speaking with the leaders of france, germany, italy and the uk, president biden underscored their goal to continue punishing russia for its attacks and double down on their commitment to support ukraine. the president, too, is wary of russia's announcement to pull back . >> we'll see if they follow through on russia claims it's ready to set up a meeting between putin and zelenskyy once a draft peace agreement between the two sighs is in place and washington mouther rivera fox news, meadowland, thank you so much for your time. faced with stiff resistance from ukraine's defiant military, russia now appears to be employing a new strategy and its so far unsuccessful effort to capture key. the pentagon reports it has observed russian troop movement away from the capital city. moscow, for its part is quick to describe it as a repositioning and not a retreat and military analysts here in washington warn that certainly is not a time for ukraine to let down its guard. russia has failed in its objective of capturing key which failed in its objective of subjugating ukraine. but they can still inflict massive brutality on the country, including on kyiv. john kirby speaking there on 10. we are joined by retired marine lieutenant colonel dakotah wood, now a senior research fellow with the heritage foundation. colonel, thank you for your time. and i just want to begin by talking strategy for just a moment. initially we heard reports that russia was sort of trying a pincer move, if you will, to try to squeeze eventually its way toward kyiv and now it would appear that they're sort of backing out of that position. is this in your opinion, a repositioning as the russians have termed it or is this a perhaps a harbinger of things to come, maybe even some would argue a reflection of real trouble on the ground? no, i think it's a repositioning of capabilities. i mean, you know, once the war starts, it has its own tempo. you know, its own direction. and so clearly russia is not withdrawing from ukraine and still occupies huge swaths and still maintains ownership of crimea in a stolen fleet out of sevastopol. so just because they're pulling back from the capital city doesn't really change circumstances that much. they're still bombarding mariupol. they're still murdering women and children throughout the country. so if there is a tactical moment here where they're pulling back some forces around one city, it's really only going to be to reposition those forces someplace elsewhere. it thinks it can make military gains. colonel dakota wood joining from the heritage foundation. do you share the opinion, colonel, that this is an eventuality sooner or later the folks in ukraine are going to have to give up huge swaths of their country and as you pointed out, they already have well, it's existential for ukrainians. you know, it's you know, this assault has been visited upon them. they're suffering the destruction of their cities and of their countrymen. so it's really the level of pain that ukraine wants to absorb to sustain, you know, not accept. right. but this is something that russia has thrust upon them. so you know the outcome, but it's a good day from the eyes of some people is what part of your country go, you know, suffer the slings and arrows of the russians and they'll just end up killing you less. you know, you give up some of your sovereignty and some of your freedom and personal choice. so there's not a good day, you know, ahead in the next several weeks or months. so we have to applaud the ukrainians for standing for what they believe in , for rebelling and pushing back against aggression from russia. and really we need to double down and support the ukrainian military in terms of munitions and that type platform weapons. i'm glad you mentioned that because i think sometimes when i read or i hear from officials here in the west how we are supplying them with more and newer and better equipment, they have a better chance of defending their homeland. and yet i for one , i'm generally skeptical sometimes of glowing reports from the front about russians feeling dis morale or somehow being on the run. how about you where you can have all of those things so you can have some troops that are poorly led or don't know why they're there? i mean, it's not like ukraine was attacking russia and russia was responding in defense. so you can have some forces there are demoralized and are leaving the battlefield. whereas in other areas, you know, maybe morale was high there pushing this fight. they want to in their view, reclaim ukrainian territory into what they view as a greater mother. russia, something from the late 19th century. so you're going to see an ebb and flow of battle different stories coming from different fronts. clearly there's a propaganda war going on here as well and the information, misinformation and all that . so we have to take it a day at a time and a region at a time and see what the reality is on the ground there locally. senior research fellow at the heritage foundation. colonel to code word, thank you as always. we appreciate your time. we'll see you again real soon. grip over to you with the colonel turning now though to washington. president biden's budget proposal promising increased funding for national security. but republican lawmakers say it isn't going far enough and fails to account for inflation. fox news white house correspondent peter doocy reports. we can also fiscal responsibility, fiscal responsibility for this president. a budget proposal packed with progressive priorities, more support for our schools, increased funding for child care and health care services, stronger investments in clean energy and climate change mitigation. the five point eight trillion dollar package includes new funding for police and the pentagon and this will be among the largest investments in our national security in history. the president proposes a four percent boost that dod republicans wanted 5% we need to invest in our defense before it's too late. and the latest biden defense budget does the opposite. it doesn't even keep pace within white house claims a putin price is the reason many costs are rising. this may well put upward pressure on energy and food prices that in turn could reinforcements only six percent buy. that's been in a new nbc poll many more . 38% blame the president and his policies. >> all of their economic assumptions are massively outdated, meaning they don't reflect the high levels of inflation and the white house wants to pay for some of it with a new 20 percent tax on households worth more than one hundred million dollars, a firefighter and a teacher pay more in double double the tax rate that a billionaire. that's not right. >> that's not fair. officials here are betting that raising taxes on billionaires and corporations will ultimately be the best way to make prices go down at the white house, peter fox news producer who makes him a 50 years and older can now get a second covid-19 booster shot. the fda also authorizing the shot for younger people with

lynching is now a federal hate crime here. the u.s. president biden signing the new law on tuesday more than 100 years after such legislation was actually first proposed. the vice president kamala harris was at his side. we are gathered to do unfinished business to acknowledge the horror and this part of our history to state unequivocally that lynching is and has always been a hate crime and to make clear that the federal government may now prosecute these crimes as such. the emmett till anti lynching act is named after a black teenager who was brutally murdered in mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. his death became a galvanizing moment in the civil rights era. during remarks in the rose garden, the president noted how the violent deaths of black americans were used to intimidate them and to prevent them from voting. the new law also makes it possible to prosecute a crime as a lynching when a conspiracy to commit a serious bodily injury. >> grif kevin
