FROM THE UAE, SAUDI ARABIA, AND
VENEZUELA?
IT ALL STARTS ON "ALL IN" RIGHT
NOW.
GOOD EVENING FROM NEW YORK, I'M
CHRIS HAYES, AND WE'VE BEEN
SAYING THIS THE PASTORAL DAYS
ON THE SHOW --
BUT SINCE THE RUSSIA MILITARY
FAILED TO ACHIEVE
PIVOTED TO ENFORCING AS MUCH
MISERY AS POSSIBLE ON THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE.
TODAY, AN APPARENT RUSSIAN
STRIKE DESTROYED A CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL AND THEY MATERNITY
WARD IN THE SOUTHERN UKRAINIAN
CITY OF MARIUPOL.
NBC NEWS HAS VERIFIED THE
BUILDING YOU SEE HERE IN RUINS
IS THE SAME BUILDING IN VIDEOS
SHARED BY MARIUPOL CITY
OFFICIALS.
THE ATTACK COMES AFTER DAYS OF
HEAVY MUBARAK MEANT BY RUSSIANS
THAT HAS LEFT PEOPLE THERE
WITHOUT POWER OR WATER.
THE CRANIUM PRESIDENT, VILLAGE
AMIR ZELENSKYY, TWEETED ABOUT
WHAT HE CALLED A DIRECT STRIKE
ON A MATERNITY HOSPITAL,
CALLING ON THE WORLD TO CLOSE
THIS GUY AND STOP THE KILLINGS.
IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH
SKY NEWS, ISLANDS HE ACCUSED
WILL LEADERS OF BEING TOO SLOW
TO SUPPORT UKRAINE, AND
REPEATED HIS CALL FOR NATO TO,
QUOTE, CLOSE THE SKY, A REQUEST
FOR A NO-FLY ZONE.
>> THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER,
AS HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER WORLD
LEADERS, SAY THAT IF THEY DO,
THAT IF THEY CLOSE THE SKY,
THAT THAT COULD EXACERBATE AND
MAKE THE SITUATION EVEN WORSE.
IF THEY ALLOW POLAND TO PROVIDE
YOU JETS AND STATION THEM ON
NATO LAND, THAT COULD MAKE IT
WORSE.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
>> WHAT DOES WORSE MEAN?
FOR WHOM?
THE FIRST IS RUSSIAN RHETORIC.
WE DON'T NEED RHETORIC.
WE NEED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
WE HAVE TWO --
FOR WHOM?
FOR OUR FAMILIES?
NO.
FOR WHOM?
FOR THEM?
NO?
WHO KNOWS, NOBODY KNOWS.
BUT WE KNOW EXACTLY THAT NOW IS
VERY BAD.
AND IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL BE
TOO LATE.
AND BELIEVE ME, BELIEVE ME, IF
IT IS PROLONGED THIS WAY, YES,
YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY WILL
CLOSE THE SKY.
BUT WE WILL LOSE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE.
>> OF COURSE, CLOSING THE SKY
WOULD REQUIRE U.S. OR NATO
WILLING THIS TO SHOOT DOWN AND
FIRE ON RUSSIAN JETS IN UKRAINE
AIRSPACE, WHICH WOULD BE A HOT
WAR BETWEEN TWO NUCLEAR POWERS,
SOMETHING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IN MUCH OF NATO
VERY MUCH WANTS TO AVOID FOR
VERY OBVIOUS REASONS.
THE ATTACK ON THAT CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL NEVER SHOULD HAVE
HAPPENED IN MARIUPOL.
AND NOT JUST FOR ANY REASON
HAVING TO DO WITH THE LAWS OF
WAR OR THE BASIC QUESTIONS OF
DECENCY.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE, REMEMBER,
RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR
PUTIN AND HIS ARMY WERE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE TAKEN THE
COUNTRY TWO WEEKS AGO.
LOOK WE ARE MARIUPOL IS ON THE
MAP.
IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE RUSSIAN
BORDER.
IF THEIR INVASION WAS GOING
WELL, THEY SHOULD BE LONG PAST
TRYING TO SUBDUE THIS CITY.
IT IS CLEAR THAT, IN MANY WAYS,
THE RUSSIAN MILITARY HAS
STALLED.
THINGS ARE DEFINITELY NOT GOING
AS PLANNED.
THIS IS WHAT THE DIRECTOR OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, AVRIL
HAINES, SAID YESTERDAY ABOUT
THE STEPS OF THE INVASION.
>> WE ASSESS MOSCOW AND
UNDERESTIMATED THE STRENGTH OF
UKRAINE'S ASSISTANCE RESISTANCE
AND THE DEGREE OF INTERNAL
MILITARY CHALLENGES WE ARE
OBSERVING, INCLUDING AN ILL
CONSTRUCTED PLANNED, MORALE
ISSUES AND CONSIDERABLE
LOGISTICAL ISSUES.
>> THAT PLAN, LOGISTICAL
PROBLEMS, BAD MORALE --
THAT'S BASICALLY EVERYTHING.
THEY'VE HAD THIS MASSIVE CONVOY
WE HAVE HAD OUR EYES ON HEADING
FOR A KEY FOR THE PAST TWO
WEEKS, WARNING THAT PARAMETERS
AND VEHICLES ARE STILL GETTING
STUCK.
THEY ARE NO SIGNIFICANT
MOVEMENTS TOWARDS KYIV,
OFFICIALS SAY, SINCE YESTERDAY.
U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THE AIR
DEFENSES STEMS OF UKRAINE
REMAINS VIABLE AND THAT RUSSIA
HAS NOT GAINED SECURITY OVER
THE COUNTRY, DESPITE RUSSIA HAVING A LARGE AIR FORCE.
HAVING A LARGE AIR FORCE.

--
AND BLOWN HOLES IN RUSSIA'S
CONVOYS USING AMERICAN ANTI
TANK MISSILES AND ARMED DRONE
SUPPLIED BY TURKEY.
IN ALL THESE PLACES, THE
RUSSIAN ARMY PLANNED TO GO PAST
KYIV AND HAVE GONE PAST PLACES
PUTTING UP TREMENDOUS
RESISTANCE, SCENES LIKE THOSE
SEEN HERE, LIKE IN KHARKIV,
WHERE THERE IS INDISCRIMINATE
SHELLING.
THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT IS
WORKING, IF YOU COULD CALL IT
THAT, FROM THE RUSSIANS.
ARTILLERY THAT CAN BE LOBBED
INTO CIVILIAN AREAS.
BUT WHILE AWFUL IN ITS HUMAN
IMPACT, IT'S NOT CLEAR THAT IT
IS ACHIEVING ANY TACTICAL
OBJECTIVES.
THIS IS WHITE U.S. SECRETARY OF
STATE ANTHONY BLINKEN SAID
TODAY ABOUT PUTIN'S ONSLAUGHT.
>> HE HAS A CLEAR PLAN, RIGHT
NOW, TO BRUTALIZE UKRAINE.
BUT TO WHAT END?
BECAUSE, WHEN IT COMES TO AN
ENDGAME, THE BIG QUESTION IN
THE FIRST INSTANCE IS WHAT IS
HIS ENDGAME?
WE SAW THE FAILURES OF THE
INITIAL MILITARY PLAN TO
QUICKLY SUBJUGATE THE COUNTRY.
THAT HAS FILED.
SO, HE IS NOW TURNING TO A
STRATEGY OF LAYING WASTE TO THE
POPULATION CENTERS, TO THE
COUNTRY.
>> IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS.
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED IN THOSE
TWO WEEKS DUE TO THIS
AGGRESSION AND INVASION BY
RUSSIA.
THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS, WHAT
HAPPENS?
WHERE ARE WE?
ARE THE RUSSIANS JUST BEHIND
SCHEDULE?
OR HAVE THEY PERFORMED SO
POORLY, OTHER LOGISTICS COTTON
SCREWED UP, HAVE THE WEAPONS
FLOWING FROM NATO AND OTHER
ALLIES BEEN SO EFFECTIVE, AT
THE UKRAINIAN RESISTANCE BEEN
SO STRONG, THAT THE RUSSIANS
ARE NOT ACTUALLY WINNING THIS
WAR OR GOING TO WIN IT?
THERE HAS BEEN, IN JUST TWO
WEEKS, AND ALMOST IN FRANCE
INCOMPREHENSIBLE TOLL ON THE
PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.
YESTERDAY, THE UNITED NATIONS
SAID ALREADY THAT MORE THAN 2
MILLION PEOPLE HAVE FLED THE
COUNTRY.
HALF OF THOSE ARE CHILDREN.
IT IS THE FASTEST-GROWING
REFUGEE CRISIS SINCE WORLD WAR
II.
AND JUST, FOR CONTEXT HERE, IN
2015 AND 2016, ABOUT 2 MILLION
SYRIAN REFUGEES FLED TO EUROPE.
IN UKRAINE, 2 MILLION HAVE LED
IN TWO WEEKS.
WE SIMPLY HAVE NOT SEEN
ANYTHING ON THIS SCALE IN THE
MODERN ERA.
THE UN SAYS THAT THOUSANDS OF
UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN
KILLED OR WOUNDED, LIKE THIS
WOMAN WHO WAS INJURED AFTER AN
AIRSTRIKE DAMAGED AN APARTMENT
COMPLEX OUTSIDE KHARKIV.
THERE HAS ALSO BEEN, AS FAR AS
WE CAN TELL --
AND IT'S HARD TO GET RELIABLE
NUMBERS ON THIS --
A HUGE RUSSIAN TOLL.
UKRAINIAN MILITARY IS CLAIMING
TO HAVE KILLED AN EXTREMELY
HIGH NUMBER OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS,
A NUMBER THAT'S NOT BEEN
CONFIRMED.
YESTERDAY THE HEAD OF THE U.S.
INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT AGENCY
THAT --
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN
KILLED.
THOSE NUMBERS ARE FAR LOWER
THAN WHAT UKRAINIANS HAVE BEEN
SAYING.
BUT EVEN IF THEY ARE MORE
ACCURATE, THEY ARE STILL
STUNNING.
AGAIN, FOR CONTEXT, AGAIN,
NEARLY 2500 AMERICAN SERVICE
MEMBERS WERE KILLED IN
AFGHANISTAN, A WAR THAT LASTED
NEARLY 20 YEARS.
OR, FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE THE
SOVIET WAR IN AFGHANISTAN.
ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL SOVIET
NUMBERS, JUST UNDER 15,000
MEMBERS OF THE SOVIET MILITARY
WERE KILLED IN THEIR TEN-YEAR
WAR.
ABOUT 1500 PER YEAR.
THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, FOR THEM
TO LOSE AN ESTIMATED 2000 TO
4000 SOLDIERS --
MANY OF THEM APPARENTLY
CONSCRIPTS --
IS UNHEARD OF IN MODERN WARFARE,
IN THIS TIMEFRAME.
IT MAY BE THE THING THAT PUTIN
