they've sliced off and annexed the crimea peninsula. that is now part of russia. they have unilaterally decided that these two so-called break away republics have been declared independent and recognized by the kremlin allowing what is by any thought an invasion into sovereign territory. they're fiddling around because they are still being synonymous in their response. they were not allowed to get ahold of lethal military aid to defend itself during a year period of war which is ongoing and expanding. the real question for ukraine, to what extent is this the limit of ukraine apes watch. is this, for example, the changed belief and having additional targets and therefore at what point will the international community actually acknowledge that russian tanks across the ukrainian border. it is absolutely extraordinary from the ukrainian border. we will hear loud comments as this sinks into ukrainians. the united states is pussy footing around the definitions which are frankly absurd from the perspective here. >> yeah, indeed. define invasion. one manage it's foreign b

the russian drills in the black sea, their main purpose is to make sure that crimea peninsula stay save. among the scenario has been wargames. is it possible as souls by enemy forces? so the fleas and the black mediterranean sea is a fine tune and their response to different possible threats all in a coordinated bit to optimize rushes overall strategic security. watching out international banking company this afternoon, that brings you up to date. the one you sat so far today we're back again. they with more new speak and half. ah. with bring you the very latest every out the day. this is our national phone. everyone here with, with, with the white house is on that a thing there me foreign policy, as it looked more to be a crisis of the bite administration. and there continued a wrong intelligence from the events of ukrainian border. yet the narrative of a future invasion is still being put. meanwhile, the confirmation of spying by the hilary clinton campaign in 2016 has not been confirmed yet, and very few media outlets are willing to broadcast the details. but why is there a link betw

, and peninsula. what are we to make of all this? well, 1st of all, i think it, we, you know, from history that vladimir putin doesn't like doing what's expected of him. i think this was the american strategy by putting all this intelligence data out there to prevent which at least is incentivized, the criminal from doing what the americans expected them to. so that seems to work if we're to work, if we kind of believe that line, i don't think this is over. russian troops have been building up along ukraine's borders for months. now. this started far before christmas of last year. and in terms of the air troops being moved away, we're having to take the russian's word for this. russia has not allowed his social observers in to its exercises, even though m by the scale. we think those exercises, those would normally be required. russia has and said, said that they're carrying out many small exercises in parallel rather than one big one, which is the loophole that allows them not to allow in excess obse

>> as eight years ago when he started the war against ukraine, by occupying crimea peninsula. he wants to size ukraine. he wants to prevent ukraine from existing. therefore he just that's why he's doing what he's doing now. he bombs now. they try to catch kyiv. and of course it may end up with capturing ukraine. however ukraine resists. that's the very important thing. >> that is happening. that's for sure. i'm curious, ukrainian citizen, you live in kyiv. right? >> yes, i do. >> as a ukrainian citizen, how do you feel about what is happening? >> i should have in kyiv now. i'm here because i was on my working and i didn't manage yet to get back home. i have to be there. what i feel is that -- that was not to be honest that was not a huge surprise for ukraine in general. this further attack. because many people say that putin started war of ukraine. this war started eight years ago. it's very important to understand. and what i feel is first of all maybe that we need more -- first of all i feel solidarity. ukraine is very much united. ukraine supports the government and preside

peninsula. we tried to prepare for eight years, what i see from official sources, russian are taking -- all directions headed to ukraine. well, i see my neighborhood from the window, there is no panic issue lots of cars are parked on the parking lots, as usual. in the market in the morning, there are some, but a lot of goods on the shelves. everybody is willing to buy something can do it and oop i think we are ready to fight back. yarema dukh. we are fighting back, our army and armed forces are fighting back and doing their job. >> carley: your president volodymyr zelenskyy postod instagram and one message to the ukrainian people, don't panic, we are strong and will win because we are ukraine, glory to ushg ukraine. i'm wondering if putin could be underestimating the will of the ukrainian peep snel could invasion in ukrainian end up being a mistake in the end? >> it is mistake now, it is mistake for eight years already and invading neighboring georgia in 2008 was a mistake for russia, nowadays,

peninsula heading north and also from the eastern border heading west. that's why we have seen some of the most intense fighting. we have video of an apartment building an example we have of collateral damage. we don't have a lot of information coming from there. it could be an example of the first civilian toll we know about. as far as what we know with casualties on the ground. 57 people thus far have been killed and 169 injured. given the intensity of this invasion that number seems low. anticipate sadly those numbers will increase. the air strikes are spread out across the country. the targets are picked like air strips and air defenses have been hit and military baraks and the military intelligence building in kyiv was hit. what remains to be seen if they have neutralized the ukraine dens. they claim not. ukrainians claim they knocked russian fixed wing air craft out of the sky and 2 helicopters. in kyiv it looks like business as usual. we talked to people with resolve who were going to volunteer and people who said they would fight. >> [speaking fo

ukrainianforces southern coast towards the crimea peninsula. ukrainian forces back to the invaders on three sides on thursday after moscow launched an assault by land, sea, and air. also at least 100,000 people have been displaced in ukraine and that thousands are seeking to flee abroad. a bit early i was talking about the impact on financial markets around the world. it is bringing our new york business correspondent. where have we got to in new york? the correspondent. where have we got to in new york?— in new york? the market right now ou have in new york? the market right now you have got _ in new york? the market right now you have got the — in new york? the market right now you have got the dow— in new york? the market right now you have got the dow jones - in new york? the market right now you have got the dow jones prettyl you have got the dowjones pretty much practice, snp and nasdaq are all in positive territory and the reason for that is because they sanctions are not the all—out sanctions are not the all—out sanctions that

they took by force the crimea peninsula and ukraine looking like a much larger invasion that could take kyiv as well, and i'm extremely concerned about it. >> congress is working on a new round of tough sanctions. how quickly do you think you can get a bill to the president's desk? >> at this point, not quick enough in my own view. we should have gotten this done a week or two ago. that's been my push. i would like to see a very robust sanctions package passed by congress go and get signed by the president so the second that any additional tanks of russian forces cross into free and sovereign ukraine territory this is a free and democratic nation, immediately there are crippling sanctions put into place. this would be a huge deterrent. and i think we have to get it done very soon. >> i want to ask you about what the biden administration has put out that russia is planning a propaganda video to act as a pretext for an invasion. what more can you tell us about the supporting evidence for such a video that russia is apparently involved in making? >> well, pamela, i sit on both the arm serv

peninsula seemingly unopposed. senior obama officials recall their frustration when the intelligence agencies would not allow the white house to tell nato, let alone the public, what washington knew aboute russia' moves. i can remember a dozen times when i thought our interests would be banned, so we just told the world what we knew, said michael, the u.s. ambassador to russia when it annexed crimea. and so now, today, we have the opposite. the u.s. government declassifying and publicizing at breakneck pace what it says it knows about russian's plans, from the movements of russia's forces, to its alleged plans to launch false flag operations to new urgent warnings that invasion could come any day. according to the times, quote, the hope is that disclosing mr. putin's plans will disrupt them. it is quote information warfare between the u.s. and russia. not only do we, the american public, find ourselves caught in the middle of this information war, but so of course does ukraine. ukraine's president has expressed fru

it is not a situation where putin can take over the crimea peninsula and pay no consequence. they want to fight back. >> harris: many people describe they have been at war for eight years since crimea. they could see something coming and went on with daily lives and hope to again. great reporting as always. thank you very much. we want to bring in more of the video that we have that shows an apartment building in kyiv demolished in a russian air assault. ukrainians surveying the damage. you see the guy standing pointing at all of the walls that have fallen away and the windows. the city's mayor said the damage was caused by rocket fragments. three people were hurt in the attack. russian troops are moving closer now, we're told, to the center of kyiv. they were in the northern part of the city when we had jennifer griffin on earlier with trey yengst as he was describing it. they are on the move. putin seems to have a new focus today and it is to take that capital city. it will change the trajectory potentially for him of how slowly this is going with all of that resistance if

peninsula, that controls the flow of water to the peninsula. but the biggest factor, which has some western officials surprised, is that russia has not put all of its forces into this fight yet. they only have about a third of their force as committed. so they still have a lot of fight left in them that only about two thirds of their force remain on the borders in russian territory ready to be deployed. it is only day two, and ukrainians have been holding out well. western officials are impressed with a fighting spirit of zelenskyy, but they know that russia has a superior and technologically superior army, which it has largely kept in russia, but apparently o'clock plans to deploy at some stage, it is unclear why it hasn't -- >> richard engel, nbc news correspondent, as you say it has been a difficult day, it has been a dark day, and a long day ahead for you tomorrow. stay safe my friend, thank you. all right, last night on the show, we talked about just how big of a deal it is to levy a sanctions against a president. the prime minister head o

peninsula. but let's be very clear here. ukraine fully understands what russia is capable of. i think they see a lot of the ominous signs, not just in it he remembers of the troop buildup, but in terms of the rhetoric about a genocide taking place in donbas. the duma putting forward this bill that would officially recognize pro-russian separatist areas as being independent. and they understand that he has multiple levers here by which he can implement russian influence and aggression, either by force, either by misinformation, also through cyberattacks as we had mentioned as well. so, they are concerned, absolutely, john. >> so, jill dougherty, you mentioned the head of rt is maybe doing some pre-spin here, that vladimir put unhas already gotten what he wanted out of this. to what extent is that true? to what extent, you know, if no further russians across the border in ukraine -- and of course there are some there already -- has vladimir putin succeeded to some extent anyway? >> well, that i th

the defense ministry says drills in the russian controlled crimea, and peninsula have ended. it's really this video, which it says shows military units leaving crimea to return to their home base. also on the program, a day of unity president vladimir zalinski leads ukraine and celebrations in defiance of suggestions from the west that today could see the start of a russian invasion.

and of course, in the south here we have crimea. crimea is the ukrainian peninsula that russia in 2014 illegally annexed. there's been a naval base there for quite a long time in russia's, using that as a point to go into points further south. now what exactly is happening in these areas? let's have a quick look. first of all, of course, the all eyes are on key if the capital of ukraine, the big prize for russia they're moving in from the north. we can see from the map how close key of is to beller is, is not a long drive for russian forces to get there. we've been hearing that there's fighting, at least in the northern part of the city, possibly moving into the city right now. and the defense ministry, the ukrainian defense ministry, has said that they want civilians there to stay indoors and prepare molotov cocktails for possibly fighting ah, fighting those russian forces as they come in. if the ukrainian military is not strong enough to do it on their own. now of course, then we have the east, this is where most ukrainian forces are because they've been fighting this insurgency, thi

down at the bridge, it is a key part of the infrastructure that takes you from the path by crimea, the peninsula up towards mainland broader ukraine through the donepa river that cuts the country essentially in two. going across that river a key task for russian forces. they seemed to have some success yesterday getting across the bridge but then were pushed back. we've seen that ourselves. been an intense fight down there. bodies still lying in the road, houses taken down -- sorry, buildings taken down. overnight we heard consistent low flying jets over the city causing people to be terrified. the hotel we're in, the owner going room to room, putting out the lights and putting her kids into safety. it is possibly happening again down there. we simply don't know whether russia feels it has to take this town as part of its moves north. there are suggesting it might choose to go west towards odessa or east towards separatist territories but it is extraordinary to see the breadth from odessa, southwest, all the way above crimea. and civilians caught in their daily lives in the middle. on

, and canal to the crimean peninsula. back after crimea determined its will to join the russian federation back in 2014 because they built that damn back. then a crimea has had seen many, a severe water shortages since then. and the russian ministry defense is saying that now, because that's gone soon a full supply of water will be restored to the area. it's also important to note that in the chernobyl exclusion zone, that that was taken by russian forces 2 days ago. and after that happened, the ukrainian military, that was station there agreed to continue to defend the area alongside russian troops. and because of that, staff are still working there. radiation levels are at normal levels and there hasn't been any fighting there at all. so those are basically the major updates from the fighting in the, in ukraine and the don boss region near the russian federation. world dawn, thank you very much. trevino's those latest oak dates on day full of that russian military operation. ukraine, us artsy correspondent on culture re

russia's illegal occupation of ukraine's crimea peninsula's nightmare for those who speak out against russia many ukrainians continue to be persecuted for speaking out, particularly indigenous crimea dictators. thousands of ukrainians lost their lives defending theirrs country andrt hostile russian actions and should not forget their sacrifice as we held the kremlin accountable. claimant has time to begin as this operation, cyber attacks, weaponization of energy, proxy wars.d it argues against others including the united a states. this is as much about europe and free world as it is about ukraine. we must not forget the lessons of history, it's taught us the dangers of professors, this perception of history and lies. this is about the desire to put oneself in history books along with others, all of whom brought their because of people in the military who lost their lives pursuing land speculation and political accumulation of power with the maniac who wanted to be written in history but once they were put in the ground. my hope is this price can be resolved throughor diplomacy. it wil

these will be on the southern border of ukraine on the coastal area around the peninsula of crimea. there is in the theories of what russia could do if it invaded, an assessment that it could take a land bridge along the south of ukraine to give it a land corridor from russia linking it by land all the way to the peninsula of crimea. and there's been an assessment that naval ships, russian naval ships on exercise in the black sea. russia says they're not, but that's what adds to this picture of further pressure put on ukraine and further pressure put on these diplomatic negotiations that president macron is trying to get good. the readout from the kremlin, some positive and some not positive. not enough on the minsk agreement. the naval exercises are all part of the russian forces on the border of ukraine in a posture that gives great concern to the united states. >> that concern is not just evaded here. nic robertson, thank you so much. >>> cnn business on inflation watch this morning. january's consumer inflation watch set to hit a new high. sticker shock at the supermarket sticki

. >> reporter: a key place on the way up from russian controlled crimea. the peninsula at the south of ukraine heading up towards the capital of kyiv. now there's always been a thought that the isolated peninsula was totally inconvenient for the russians to supply with goods, utilities, et cetera and they may have wanted as part of this maneuver to push out from crimea and possibly connect it to territories in the east and whatever wider scheme they have. that seems to be certainly occurring. this morning, we saw images of troops moving out from crimea essentially towards this city where i'm standing. we've been down to the key bridge that connects this city with, across the river, where we do know the russians have made significant gains, essentially up to the bridge. we think the fighting may have gone to our side of the river at this point but it is hard to tell, frankly, given the use of heavy weapons and hard to tell what's landing where. so as i say, it certainly is a tense situation and held by the ukrainian government. we did not see a particularly

in march of 2014, russia annexed crimea, and out thomas peninsula in ukraine with strong russian loyalties. this was on the pretext that it was defending russian interests. moscow sees this growing support from nato in terms of weaponry, training, and personnel, as a threat to its own security. it has claimed that ukraine has boosted its own troop numbers. in the south bay, a woman faces charges in a crash that killed a passenger in her car. she was driving yesterday before midnight when her car left the road and hit a tree. the man inside the car did not survive. she was taken to the hospital. police say she will face vehicular manslaughter and dui charges. this is the 13th fatal traffic collision in san jose this year alone. cyclists came together in the south bay to remember one of their own. she died in a collision last sunday. she was taking part in a ride with a touring club from san jose. several riders joined the memorial ride. they set out in san jose this morning. the fatal collision remains under investigation. family and friends held a community vigil in san bruno today. he was
