city they've put tank traps around. this is a heavily fortified city now, anderson. and even if russian forces are enable to encircle it, it will still be an all mighty battle for them to get to the heart of it, anderson. >> kaitlan, president biden -- well, actually, kaitlan, before i go back to you, clarissa, let me just ask you. you talk about the russian forces in the northwest and in the east. how capable are they of actually surrounding kyiv at this point? because there are some who would raise questions about whether the russian military would be even capable of actually surrounding kyiv. >> so i think that the prognosis for people who, you know, military analysts who are watching this closely is that it would be feasible for them to surround the city although it's been a lot slower going than they had hoped it would be for a number of reasons. "a," i don't think they'd anticipated the fight they would get from the ukrainians.
