u.s. and nato instructors had been teaching ukrainian soldiers -- i have to stress there were no nato u.s. personnel there at the time. it was also a place used as an evacuation point to get people out of the country at the very beginning of the conflict. but what's also scared people is it was such a major attack in the west of the country, which has been relatively safe. and of course, as you know, this place has had a flood of displaced people come here seeking safety. obviously that attack maybe 30 miles outside of the center of lviv has made folks here in lviv pretty anxious. >> as always, thank you so much for bringing us that reporting from on the ground in ukraine. >>> white house officials are responding to that missile attack today at a ukrainian base near poland. joining me now from washington, nbc news correspondent leigh ann caldwell. this missile strike near the polish border, are there talks happening inside the white house about what would happened in that scenario? >> repo

the u.s. is determining, and i quote now, capabilities we could provide to backfill poland if it decided to transfer planes to ukraine. the spokesperson adds that sending fighter jets into ukraine is a sovereign decision for any country to make, and that there are a number of logistics to work through. that word comes after zelenskyy urged his nation tonight to keep up the resistance praising what he calls a special kind of of heroism. >> translator: ukraine, which we know, love, protect, and will not give up to any enemy. when you don't have a firearm but they respond with gunshots and you don't run. this is the reason why occupation is temporary. our people, ukrainians, don't back down. >> and this is just one example of that. watch as the camera pans over from russian soldiers and a military vehicle to a street filled with pro ukraine demonstrators. that is an occupied city where they are standing firm. and the the defiance can be seen where ukrainians took to the captured streets today lou

the u.s. would ban all imports of russian energy to make it clear that the american people would not be part of subsidizing putin's unjustified war. at the time, i noted that we were able to take the step when others could not because the u.s. is a net exporter of energy with a strong domestic industry and the u.s. welcomed the you's -- the eu's statements valid to decrease dependence on russian gas. today we are accelerating our progress towards a secure, clean energy future. this initiative focuses on two core issues, one, helping europe reduce its dependency on russian gas as quickly as possible. secondly, producing europe's demand for gas overall. the u.s. together with our international partners, we will work to ensure any additional 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas for europe this year. as the eu looks to disconnect from russian gas by 2030, it will look to secure additional market demand for 50 million cubic units by 2030. the european commission will work with member st

guy: the lesson learned too many is that the u.s. holds considerable financial clout still, and the assets you hold abroad are not necessarily yours in times of conflict. how will the chinese be thinking over than a few years about economic plans, and how will they be changing those plans as a result of what is happening to russia right now? anna: it is interesting. i was listening to a conversation about this this morning, and i think somebody pointed out that swift has the ability to tie up and complicate all sorts of transactions for any country in the world, pretty much, and china does not have a system that is equivalently large. it does not have the ability to separate from swift and not take a pretty big hit. furthermore, i think we have to consider the fact that china's economy is not like russia's economy. russia's economy is primarily an oil and gas economy. china's economy relies on trade in a much more all pervasive way. i can't really imagine a scenario where china can truly decouple itself from the rest of the world and

with the u.s. military engaging and ukraine and fighting a war against russia, we do not have any intention to do that. go ahead. >> one other question, the intelligence agency director told congress that this agency underestimated the ukrainian military preparedness and willingness to fight. does the white house share that sentiment? >> we do and i think the world does. when we saw the preparations of president putin and the russian military on the borders of ukraine, we saw the power of the russian military, we saw the intentions of president putin and i do not think anyone anticipated the level of courage, bravery, capacity to fight back that we have seen in the country. at the same time, we have also seen some miscalculations by president putin as well in terms of that capacity and willingness, but also in terms of their own planning and logistics of their military. >> can you talk about the state of the covid money, the $15 billion that came out of the bill yesterday? how confident is the whit

my guess is the u.s. and our partners are trying to get smart munitions across the border hopefully to include a lethal drone action. at the end of the day, putin can't back out. he has 200,000 troops in there. they are completely messed up formation control. it looks to me like they lost command control capabilities. he's got to take kyiv. he's under huge pressure. he's going to start firing or shooting generals if he can't capture the capital. >> talk about the impact of a potential loss in command and control as you see it. >> well, you know, i've been a company commander in combat and a division commander in combat. you get the company sort of screwed up, with your own voice and energy you can get it back on track in 20 minutes. when you lose control of 200,000 troops, thousands of vehicles, boy, i tell you it's going to be a week to reset the battlefield. a lot of that is due to the courage and aggressiveness of the ukrainian armed forces. it's astonishing what they're pulling off. they've blown brid

what does that do to the dynamics of the u.s. energy story? >> could be beneficial if the u.s. sticks with it. the pols and baltics are smart enough not to get hooked up on natural gas piped through ukraine and belarus and build lng terminals that can receive gas from the united states or qatar or middle-eastern exporters. wonder if this conflict comes to an end quickly whether or not europe will implement the plan, take years to finish and billions and billions of dollars for terminals to transport the natural gas or will they go back to operating nord stream one which still flows gas from russia to germany or nord stream 2 that lies dormant next to it because that is a better deal. russia, says anyone unfriendly nations, sanctioned the central bank or join u.s. financial sanctions will have to pay for gas if rubles which is way to get around the sanctions we placed on them. cheryl: i believe there was pushbacks because the contracts with russia in particular say those denominations have to be euros or dollars. look, anything is possible. who knew we would be here with russia

and putting u.s. planes and nato planes up there and sending troops in to enforce a no-fly zone could essentially lead to that. it's clear that that is what ukraine is asking for. and there is certainly appears to be frustration on the on the ukrainian side they are not getting that kind of support. but the calculation from the u.s. and from at large is that that would potentially make it much worse. >> bret: do you think that something gets there along those lines or do you think that holds? >> i'm just trying to process how things can get worse? you have women being raped by russian soldiers. you have innocent civilians being killed in ukraine. you have a near miss with a nuclear reactor site and i think people are wondering, bret, okay, we swore a blood oath to defend poland. poland is just one step removed from ukraine i think americans are wondering if we are willing to risk world war for poland or estonia, why not do something to help ukraine? i think americans are going to start asking that a l

the u.s. is willing to relax economic pressure on venezuela depending on the outcome of upcoming talks between president nicolas maduro and the opposition. a senior administration official says washington want to see progress toward restoring democratic governance before it allows venezuela to increase oil exports to the united states. venezuela has been under economic and oil sanctions since 2019. hong kong will not resume international travel until it contained its record-setting covid outbreak. chief executive carrie lam today said the city cannot lift a ban from flights from nine countries including the u.s., u.k., and australia, because it would add more pressure to an already overwhelmed care system. hong kong's plan to let -- to test the entire 7.4 million population has been put on hold indefinitely. global news 24 hours a day, on-air, and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: go

u.s. critical infrastructure defenses to be reinforced. as bill whitaker reported on "60 minutes" wouldn't take much to throw the entire country into darkness. >> reporter: the grid is a sprawling target, there are actually three in the u.s., eastern, western and texas has its own. most of us rarely notice substations. there are 55,000 across the country, each housing transformers, the workhorses of the grid. inside those massive metal boxes, raw electricity is converted to higher or lower voltages. should a transformer explode like this one in manhattan in super storm sandy, the system is designed to trigger a localized grid preserving blackout. but if several sections of the grid go down at the same time, shutdowns can cascade like dominos. that's what set off great northeast blackout in 2003, leaving 45 million americans without power. a few months before assault on metcalf, commissioned a study to see if a physical attack on critical transfos trigger cascading blackouts. >> it's shocki

the u.s. thought the russians having built up their military and gotten better equipment were much, much moreth formidable foe than they have turned out to be. they've got serious problems, the russian military, and again the price is being paid by the ukrainian people. >> host: you talk about the strategic importance from the russian perspective creating that land bridge to crimea. but is the symbolic importance outweighing it?ei is it worth it at this point for the russians? you just made a comparison to the alamo and the symbolic importance of that. why does rush have to have this city? >> guest: well, they need that city. they also need the port city, the major port of odessa that is further to the west to secure the coastline and cut off ukraine. that was their plan and they thought they would execute that quickly in the matter of a couple of days. the symbolic value is the longer ukraine can holdal out, the lonr they can inflict heavy casualties on the russians. we have gotten somer new

the u.s. earlier today, francine lacqua caught up with david herro, who warns not to overstate the importance of the russian economy on the rest of the world especially when it comes to european banks which sold off heavily this morning. >> you have seen an extreme price reaction. in fact, there was some research last week that showed this period since the invasion, you have an equivalent price movement as you had in the pandemic. this basket has been slaughtered. to some degree, i think it is well overdone. matt: joining us for his perspective is stuart kaiser, head of equity derivatives research at ubs. thanks for joining us. we heard from david, from a lot of market participants this morning, that the selloff that we saw at that time was a little bit overdone beyond the fundamentals. is this kind of volatility here to stay? stuart: thanks for having me on. we think the volatility is here to stay for the short-term, but beyond that it is hard to have any visibility. you could argue that the

u.s. official says the city is virtually surrounded. ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy once again urging a no-fly zone and more sanctions on russia. >> translator: the war midwest end. we need to sit down at the negotiating table. honest in the interests of the people. not obsolete, murderous ambitions. >> oren liebermann with more now on the developments on the ground. >> reporter: in northeast ukraine, not far from the russian border, the city of sumy was supposed to be safe, if only for a few hours. ukraine and russia agreed on a single evacuation corridor open for half of tuesday. but the agreement has not protected the city. the announcement came after ukrainian officials say a russian air strike killed 21 civilians, including two children overnight. russian strikes have destroyed homes in the i strks flattening neighborhoods. western leaders have accused russia of targeting preapproved safe routes in ukraine. the city of mariupol in the south has been isolated by russian forces a

our u.s. consulate hit overnight by 12 rockets fired from where we believe inside iran. >> here we are negotiating a deal with the iranians as we speak. this is the fallacy of that deal. it does not cover the behavior. it does not cover the prohibition on ballistic missiles. why are they firing these missiles here? they want the united states out of iraq. they want to create a violent situation where the legislature and government at some point make a decision to ask the americans to leave. the iranians have confidence about this, why? because we gave up seven military bases and three ci basis east of iran and afghanistan. they want us west of iran. >> fortunately, no one killed their. general, as always, thank you. >> it's great being with you, brett. >> deputy secretary wendy sherman. madam secretary, welcome to fox news sunday. >> good to be with you. i want to start with where we left off their. that it is these ballistic missiles fired on the u.s. consulate in iraq from inside iran just i

that report initially caught u.s. officials off guard. in fact, you had a u.s. official on the hill saying they were caught by surprise. cnn's jeremy diamond joining us now. all of this happening, we might add, as the vice president heads to poland. she's going to have to take a position. she doesn't have a choice. poland forced the issue. >> it was already being discussed. there have been conversations for days about how to potentially make this work. now that trip by vice president harris taking on new importance. it's remarkable to see that these discussions have been happening behind the scenes and then suddenly this statement announcing that they were ready to give these migs, soviet jets to the united states presumably. victoria nuland yesterday testifying in the senate foreign relations committee. she said i saw that announcement as i was driving here today. completely caught off guard by that. the issue here is, look, the u.s. still wants to try and make this happen but logistically it's how to do it without becoming a direct participant in the conflict,

u.s. europe, will continue to watch the geopolitics. president biden visiting poland later today. in terms of how things are breaking across asset, futures stateside, after a solid day of earnings and gains yesterday in the u.s., led by nvidia, the tech sector, semi conductors has positioned the u.s. for a solid start. u.s. 10 year at 2.35, so coming off the highs we have seen the last few days. that bond selloff as a theme, many would argue, will continue. that is the debate within and among investors. brent to lower by 1.3% -- brent lower by 1.3%. francine: this is what the sectors looking like. if you look at the breakdown in terms of various sectors, it has been a pretty incredible week, but it was really the narrative about inflation, so chemicals, construction, materials some of the biggest losers. it is really banks and consumer discretionary on the other side. you can see health care. it would be great if we saw a one-week snapshot of some of these sectors, because it really is the

u.s. officials tell me that the latest u.s. intelligence assessments have found that russia more and more is resorting to using heavier firepower, more devastating weapons. this after recent setbacks in their invasion strategy. u.s. intelligence believes that russian forces will be more and more willing to cause collateral damage. what does that mean? that means civilian casualties, including direct targeting of nonmilitary targets, just as what we saw in kharkiv this morning. and that expected to lead to more civilian deaths. again, that is more of a siren here, we heard it times in lviv. we'll keep you up to date on this. all of this as new satellite images show just a massive convoy of russian forces closing in on the capital city of kyiv. officials say it is 40 miles long, it includes hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, towed artillery. u.s. officials warn the intention here to surround and take over the capital kyiv, the intent as well to topple what has been ukraine's formidable res

the u.s. and the west, is the better option for, frankly, all countries, than partnering with russia and china. and the indo-pacific region gives us an outstanding opportunity to do that. it has been described as the pacing threat, however you want to put it, china is without question the country most capable of competing with the u.s. in terms of their economic strength, in terms of growing military strength, in terms of their global reach. now, we all want a world where china and the u.s. peacefully co-exist and that's what we're working towards, but over the course of the last decade at least, it's become clear that president xi in china intends something more combative than that. they are trying to push us out and advance an authoritarian way of looking at the world, that has very little respect for free human rights or anything other than the blunt force of what they want economically. we need to compete against that. we need to convince the world to go in a different direction, and to do
