I was there and seen 60% of the city was destroyed and there were so many civilian casualties at that time. kyiv is an extremely beautiful city. its got an amazing opera house and amazing central square and all these beautiful churches around the city. definitely, look, people are preparing for this on every street here youre seeing a fort -- check points, sandbags, trucks and metros and subway trains blocking pathways for potential russian entry. at many of these places youre seeing anti tank g...

We think anti-aircraft fired just before dusk, two bursts of that. thats unusual. its been very quiet today. that may be a reflection of the increased pressure from the east. now, certainly in kherson, for about a weak now, weve spotted a rail column has moved into that particular city. that may suggest reinforcements. there seems to be some armor on that train to reinforce the positions and then move west toward mykolaiv. weve been seeing the extraordinary telephone to civilians, the indiscrimi...
