how did that go down in brussels? well, i can imagine that it didn't go down well because no one wants to be criticizing that way. but of course, and as some leaders our word that they could have acted turn quicker when we speak about the countries or the baltic countries, for example, or poland. and or they were named specifically by the ukranian president. he said that they stand with ukraine. he also addressed other european members such as germany, for example, and he said, well, maybe a little later for so he was very specific in his message and he of course, has a point. but despite this hartford, he's a heartful plea to 2 except ukraine as a, as a future member's state of the european union. because as he said, they are fighting for european values. we have to say that you are p and leaders are not very likely to really listen to this message. and they have already made clear that it takes time to become a member of the european union. because as they say, they also need to protect at the union to only add to a

breb is in brussels for an emergency nato summit on russia's war against ukraine. the alliance considering new ways to punish vladimir putin's brutality as the u.s. is formally declaring that russia has committed war crimes. >>> also tonight, russia's war of destruction is taking a growing toll on ukrainian cities and on kremlin forces. nato nowest ma estimates 15,000 russian troops have been killed. our correspondents are standing by for cnn's live global war coverage. we're getting powerful new reaction to the death of the first woman to serve as the u.s. secretary of state, madeleine albright. former president bill clinton will join us this hour. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in brussels and you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> we're coming to you live from the eu headquarters in brussels, just hours before president biden jiens with u.s. allies for emergency critical talks on the war in ukraine. this hour we're getting reports from the front lines of a new barrage of outgo

watching as leaders arrive in brussels. prime minister boris johnson walking in as we saw the judge prime ministers they will persevere in terms of their actions on russia. the europeans in the u.s. are trying to align themselves on how far to go to wean europe off of energy from russia. francine: i think he's talking about some of the things the u.k. can do but then puts it up to nato to consider what the options are. unless the u.s. and allies motivate -- mobilize to save us, that the argument made written by her editor from bloomberg opinion. adrian joins us. it's a great piece, you are a master student in history. it brings us back to the other world wars. how does globalization need to change to be able to fight this? >> now is really the second age of the globalization. the first stages from 1870 to 1913 and came to an catastrophic end with the first world war. the leaders of the west made the mistake of not relaunching globalization, of creating the basis for protectionism which led to the rise of hitler's end mussol

. us president j biden's trip to brussels to meet leaders of nato. the g 7 and european union was aimed to rallying western allies to find ways to stop russia's warn ukraine and sent a message to moscow that the west is united. nato has never, never been more united than it is to day. pohden is getting exactly the opposite, what he intended to have as a consequence of going into ukraine fight and said the u. s. would commit $1000000000.00 in humanitarian. 80 a crane and the western allies would impose a raft of new sanctions on moscow. ross went on, she knew sanctions of more than $400.00 individuals and entities aligned with an alignment with the european union. more than 300 members of duma oligarchy and russian defense companies that fuel the russian war machine. earlier in the day, ukraine's president address night to leaders and asked the military alliance for more help to fight russian forces. you greenland, in my evidently ukrainian army has been resisting for a month in unequal conditions, and i have been repeating the same thing for a month

how did that go down and brussels? well i think that we have to acknowledge, we have to acknowledge that zalinski has emerged as her, as an excellent communicator, or who is tailoring his messages to the audience he's facing. and that was the case here as well. and i think that it went down well with some member states with the baltic states, for instance, or poland. they have been calling on the you to be tougher on russia for years, are pushing to for more sanctions, more action to help ukraine and lensky. acknowledge that in his statement saying latvia stands with us lithuania stance with us. and then he went on speaking about germany, for instance. and he said, said germany a little bit later, acknowledging that germany was initially initially reluctance to imposing tougher sanctions. and that germany is now one of their members states that are blocking a potential oil and a natural gas embargo. alexander tells more about what is happening to day. we saw president biden calling for russia to be kicked out of the g

but back in brussels, every one knows. it will take more than solidarity to bring europe's worst crisis since world war 2. to an end. let's go back to brussels, our bureau chief there, alexander and phenomena standing by far as high. alexander, we are still waiting for that press conference to begin, but we just heard there that everyone is clear. it's not going to take just solid charity to, to help ukraine here. so take us through what was actually decided yesterday what came out of the flurry of action and brussels. so what we saw yesterday was a really remarkable day fact that all the 3 summits took place on one day he in brussels, wasa, remarkable, and some would even say it was a historic day. and we, so ne, to leaders a promising to provide more assistance to ukraine, more f weapons to defend their country. they were warning karesha against any use of chemical or biological weapons. and they also approved a massive 3 enforcement of nato forces on the eastern flank than there was $37.00 meeting with them saying that

but back in brussels, every one knows. it will take more than solidarity to bring europe's worst crisis since world war 2 to an end. let's bring in our correspondent jack para, who is in brussels. jack the e u summit has ended. now any results you can tell us about at this point, where we haven't had any press conferences after this late ending of the european council. some it is we heard in that report. it is been a marathon day of tools and i think the lead is now just want to get the head stein and that, that some, it will continue where they will discuss energy pricing on friday. and it's going to be an important day as we heard, this is a specific issue there. a big divisions among you countries about what sanctions should go further on. i one person that we did hear from on his way out from the summit, just a quick comment was the dutch prime minister ma router. he said that they all continuing to discuss sanctions additional, this 5th round of sanctions against russia. but that they didn't have any specific details

so i think that the main goal of this meeting here in brussel is brussels, is to, to show that allies are united, that they are in the same page when it comes to a dealing with russia. one are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena for a fair thank you. the world health organization says russia's war is left millions of ukrainians facing mental health problems. it is stressing the need for psychological support. as the refugee crisis grows, with many struggling as their families are torn apart. the country is bordering ukraine have become a haven for millions of people, seeing the wool they arrive in poland and moldova desperate for safety. natalia escaped the shelling and nikolai of but left her husband behind. oh we, we fled when they started bombing. that's why we decided to leave our home 500 meters away from us. that was a rocket explosion. it was very scary. that's why we decided to leave. so many families have been separated by the fighting and i took a risk and fled with my daughter. but i relatives the 2 scared. my older daughter with her child was too scared. how could sh

how did that go down and brussels? well i think that we have to acknowledge, we have to acknowledge that zalinski has emerged as her, as an excellent communicator, or who is tailoring his messages to the audience he's facing. and that was the case here as well. and i think that it went down well with some members states with the baltic states, for instance, or poland. they have been calling on the you to be tougher on russia for years or pushing to for more sanctions, more action, to help ukraine and at lensky. acknowledge that in his statement saying latvia stands with us lithuania stands with us. and then he went on speaking about germany, for instance. and he, sir, said germany a little bit later, acknowledging that germany was initially initially reluctance to imposing tougher sanctions. and that germany is now one of the members states that are blocking a potential oil and a natural gas embargo. alexander tells me about what is happening to day. we saw president biden calling for russia to be kicked out of the g 2

>> great to be with you from brussels a packed day for biden once he gets to brussels he'll have meetings with nato, the grown up of seven leaders, the european counsel so it is, in some ways, symbolic for all these european leaders and americans to get together in a room and show the unity and strength of the western alliance against the russian invasion in ukraine. but more than just the symbolic show, they're also hoping to plot out the next steps of the west's response to the ongoing invasion so what that looks like is coordinating the next steps in terms of military assistance to kyiv also trying to release a new sanctions package. already, the west has released a devastating set of sanctions against russian oligarchs and vladimir putin himself but they want to, you know, go further as the invasion continues and also outline steps that they're going to take to ensure that russian ole gigarch and others they sanctioned are not evading the sanctions. u.s. officials saying it is just as important to make sure the sanctions they've already implemented are working as they look toward the

he's in brussels with us as well. nic, there's growing concern, as you well know, over what putin may do next as he grows more and more desperate and more and more isolated around the world. what are you learning? >> reporter: well, there's growing evidence that his forces are committing war crimes. nato is telling him, the g-7 is telling him to get his forces out of ukraine, to stop the offensive. there's concern that as he faces more pressure, economic pressure and we had more of that today, sanctions from the united states and the united kingdom. indeed the german chancellor as well telling president putin that his decision to insist that all gas and oil supplies paid for in rubles is not something that is going to happen. so he's under more pressure. there's a concern that he might use chemical weapons. he's still talking about the possibility or his officials are talking about the possibility of tactical nuclear weapons still being on the table. speaking with the greek prime minister today, he said that he finds

here in brussels. he's attending this truly historic and extraordinary summit of nato leaders, 29 other nato leaders are here with the president of the united states and they're deciding what to do, what kind of steps to take to deter, to deter vladimir putin from continuing this brutal invasion of ukraine. it's an awful situation that's unfolding right now. we're watching all of these developments. we expect to hear from the president at some point this morning. we'll of course have his remarks. chief white house correspondent kaitlyn collins is getting new information for us now. 30 nato allies are here but they also are listening to someone else. >> there is a special guest who is here. part of this who is not part of nato and that is ukrainian president zelenskyy. he is not here, he is kyiv in ukraine where he has been as this invasion has happened, now stretching into a month. he is appearing at video conference. this is something nato has put together within days which speaks to the urgency that
