they say it is a special military operation. the question has been, do the russians buy it? so this morning we have something of an answer of how this works. joining me is misha, who is an intern in ukraine right now. four father is in russia. and after days of bombing and days of this invasion, you were wondering why he hadn't called to check on you in ukraine. so you finally got him on the phone. what did he say? >> that was the common conversation. hi, how are you doing? so any word about war? and i asked, do you know what's going on. yes, i heard something. and i started to tell him things with my family. we woke up from the bombing and i took my little son who is a month old and we tried to, like, escape and to save the family. and he started to argue. he said, no, no, no. everything is not like this.
