syringes. but when we were at the warehouse where all the trucks were being packed in the convoy, there was, you name it. there was baby food, diapers, clothes, socks, bulletproof vests, helmets and different gear like that. so it s anything and everything. i think the feeling among a lot of people in europe and around the world is that whatever we have, whatever we can provide, we re going to ship it and hopefully it will get distributed. so it s going to take quite a logistical effort inside ukraine when we get across the border for these volunteers to get it to the places it s needed most, but i hope that happens. i understand it s volunteers you re with who are going to stare all the assistance and you re a witness along the way and helping to document it. so now let s talk about your reporting. the time magazine cover you recently wrote a piece for and you were helping to profile volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of ukraine and the many heros of ukraine and

whole thing was called off. the ukrainians saying it simply was not safe to have people evacuating while there were things dropping out of the sky. and so, they are now there are now hopes or they have to hope that these talks can work out some kind of a better arrangement to make this work. the international red cross is actually on the ground as sort of mediator, facilitator, trying to help make this happen. but they scolded both sides in a statement today. essentially saying, look, we are not in a position to enforce this cease-fire. however short it may be. both parties in these negotiations can t just agree in principle on the need for these corridors. they have to roll up their sleeves and do the very granular, very fine details and make sure that they are all worked out. knowing where this corridor is going to be, what route it will take exactly how people can get out, what kind of supplies are getting in. the red cross says they will
