Russia-Ukraine war: United Nations approves resolution condemning Putin, Russia: LIVE UPDATES

Vladimir Putin's Russia has a "Ministry of Enlightenment" and it plans to release an "open lesson" justifying the invasion of Ukraine.

"Russia's Ministry of Enlightenment announced it will stream an ‘All-Russian Open Lesson’ on why 'the liberation mission in Ukraine is a necessity' on Mar. 3 at 12 p.m. Moscow time," the Kyiv Independent reported.

"The lesson will discuss why 'NATO posses a threat to Russia' and why Russia 'stood up to defend the peaceful residents of Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics.'"

The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported that as of midnight on March 1, it recorded 752 civilian casualties in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Richard Childress is stepping up to help the people of Ukraine defend their country against Russia, as he has committed to donating one million rounds of ammo to the armed forces of Ukraine.

"I was listening the other day and heard President Zelenskyy say he didn't want out, he wanted ammunition," Childress told Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday.

So, Childress said he made a call and got to work.

Several Russian warships from Crimea were headed to Odesa. An amphibious assault could come as soon as Thursday, U.S. officials told Fox News.

It comes as Russian forces attack the waterfront cities of Kherson and Mariupol.

Jesse Watters said the West "cannot lose" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Wednesday's opening monologue of "Jesse Watters Primetime."

"The protection of Zelenskyy is priority number one for the entire Western world," he said. "He's become a symbol larger than life. He recognizes this, and appears to know he may have to die in the capital to save his country."

There is a "propaganda war" with Ukraine, he continued.

"It's being fought on all sides, and Zelenskyy is the key character," Watters said. "The West cannot lose him. The Ukrainians cannot lose him, and so the United States must help execute a survival strategy to keep Zelenskyy and hope alive."

The Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs is calling on Russia to stop killing individuals in Kharkiv and Sumy to allow for evacuations to take place, saying that students are currently "hostages" of the Russian government.

International students from countries such as India, Pakistan, and China are currently unable to leave the cities because of "indiscriminate shelling and barbaric missile strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on residential areas and civilian infrastructure," according to the Facebook post made on Wednesday.

The government agency said it would assist international students in relocating the students to safer areas if a ceasefire is arranged, but said that current evacuations are extremely difficult.

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports that air raid sirens and explosions have been heard in Kyiv Wednesday.

There is a lot going on in the country, in the world. And when there's a lot going on, it's the perfect time to think and analyze and ask questions starting with ourselves. The answers, I think, will eventually come — or partial answers will eventually come — if we do spend enough time reflecting and analyzing and posing the right questions to those in positions of power and also to ourselves.

So, we'll start with what's been on my mind, which is that Russia invaded a sovereign neighboring country, and civilians are being killed. Russian and Ukrainian civilians are bearing the cost of wars waged by a Russian despot, which should lead us to wonder why there has been any equivocation by some in this country on the nature and intentions of Vladimir Putin.

Some in the media and in positions of power seem frankly enamored with Putin. Looking at the images of dead Ukrainian children should settle the question of who Putin is once and for all. It's not something I've wondered about, but it is apparently something that others have wondered about. And it does beg the question of what some people are drawn to.
