sovsun, a member of ukraine's parliament. thank you for being with us. what's the latest on the ground there in kyiv? >> well, the situation in kyiv remains it pretty stable, if you can call it this, for the past couple days. we had battles in the northwest of the city. they're constantly on going. the ukrainian army has pushed russia a little further from the city boundaries and is trying to regain control over the city of irpin. major battles are still taking place there. it seems like ukrainian army is progressing rather well in terms of regaining control over the city. again, the russians are fighting back. they constantly try to strike the city, missile attacks. but nothing major has been hit as of the last day here today. it did allow for us in the parliament to have an emergency session today again which was important i think for us to do.
