for them. i spoke to a young ukrainian women yesterday who was from kyiv and had come over here to lviv. i said do you think the russians spread to the west quickly? she said i don t think so. i think they re bogged down in the west and will get stuck by the main river flowing through the middle of the country and then paused for a few seconds and goes, well, at least i tell myself that so i can sleep at night. you see small units of families with a bag between them and many with the pets trying to figure out the next move and hard to figure out while this is going on. it is a very desperate situation. also, an eerie place here in the evening. it is a safe zone, a city on edge.
revise his remarks since russia invaded. he s facing a country on edge in a lot of ways. not just fears about nuclear war but also fears of inflation and an economy not recovering the way people want to. covid, et cetera. what are you expecting tonight? first i want to say, to kasie s point about the state of the union, it s a great argument, a great support for my argument that we should go back to state of the union addresses being handwritten. and never do these spectacles ever again. i think this is a much tougher state of the union address for him than a lot of people think. in part because there are a number of things out of his control. they just are. inflation is hard to put back in the tube. putin is not a guy easy to persuade to do the right thing. and one of the reasons biden is in trouble in the polls is that starting with the precipitous
border, i think almost everybody bet that russians would have air superiority immediately. they didn t and that s good news. we should applaud the ukrainian air force. to the specific question you re asking, a no-fly zone isn t something you can just declare. it is something you have to enforce. that would men u.s. fighters would be coming into contact with russian fighters right now. and the administration hasn t made a decision like that. i haven t made any call for anything like that. we have ukrainians willing to fight. we need to have the will to arm them with the munitions, but also with the intelligence. senator ben sasse, thank you for your time, sir. we really appreciate it. the full interview with zelenskyy from his bunker in kyiv as russian forces approach the city is coming up on the lead. plus, a city on edge. we re live in the ukrainian port where the russians are closing in by sea. and then in just a few hours, president biden will deliver his very first state of t
ukraine s third largest city, odesa is on edge. russian troops have had control of crimea in parts of the donbas region but now they re moving in on other cities along the black sea. nick paton walsh is on the black sea where some are taking up arms to fight back. reporter: slowly, moscow s tentacles are strangling the black sea coast. these russian troops helping themselves to the stores of the town of kherson, leading this man away, according to a resident who spoke to cnn. and also showing here, too. the disregard for life, leaving
plant. breaking tonight, forces foiling multiple assassination plots against president zelensky. how he survived three attempts on his life since the war began last week. kremlin seeking to control the narrative in russia. and vladimir putin stamping a new la that would publish journalists that contradict anything. our correspondents lead the stories. good morning, benjamin. yes, they stopped for the moment. i m pleased they didn t ruin our show in the previous hour. this is a sound we hear time and time again. this is a city on edge. it s a city around which the russian noose is tightening. they control three sides of it. one way in and out. that s the southern part of the city. and wide spread speculation that the russians will try to cut that off.
