Very, very desperate situation. you showed how bodies, you cant even do proper burials for bodies at this point in time. what theyll do is starve it until it submits. until the officials there in charge surrender. i assume, is their hope. that would then enable them to complete the land bridge from crimea to the donbas, the area in the southeast. they will have denied that entire portion of the coast to ukraine. so it is really a matter of time unless the ukrainians can figure out how to break t...

Network, sandra. i think we were very good and predicting what the russians would do but not as good predicting what the ukrainians would do and they have stood fast and so brave and effective at pushing back on the ground. they need to stop the bombardment. p vladimir putin is not just destroying a country, but people. almost like ukrainian genocide, and of course these are war crimes when you purposely target a maternity hospital. i dont see any question there, and the russian officials, they ...

To the ground and its because its so strategically importan to the russians, lawrence. it would give them a lan corridor from russia to crimea if they were to take mariupol, it would be seen as a majo victory for them but they havent been able t capture the city at making the russian commanders around th city resort to sort of medieva siege and starvation tactics theyve been bombing and shelling the city. theyve caused a humanitaria catastrophe there. there is no water, electricity gas, food goi...

Quantity has a quality all of its own when youre talking about a player on the world stage. >> you know, im wondering in particular for many people who are watching, were of course focusing on the destruction in different areas. obviously mariupol is one. why mariupol? why is is strategy to continue to bombard and destroy mariupol? mariupol, excuse me. why is everyone focused on that in particular? help explain the context of why this is a strategic location for the russians? >> well, operations...

Do not believe your commanders who say you will still have a chance in ukraine. nothing but prison and death awaits you. you are taking our lives and will pay with yours. >> keeping in mind the thousands killed, they detailed the infrastructure damage caused by the russian invasion. nearly $100 billion in damage so far to buildings, roads and other infrastructure. president zelenskyy discussed the siege on ukrainian cities and the human toll taking place. >> they want us to feel like animal beca...

Contested by the forces of ukraine. the russians have not broken there. theyve not been able to reach kyiv. weve been reporting the last several days the forces of russia are poised outside of kyiv ready to make attack. weve been saying that the last now 72 to 96 hours. we have seen zero movement. that tells me theyre either in a very long operational pause, which is something the military does, or theyre very confused in their command and control. their commanders are trying to get control of t...
