now. devastating images. civilian buildings, residential apartment buildings. it's all over the city right now. we have different strikes happening in the city. what are the russians doing here? >> well, the russians are basically closing in their longer range systems on the city. they don't have specific intelligence in many cases so they're simply firing into areas where there's reported to be resistance. and those shells are hitting everywhere. the rockets are hitting everywhere. it's an area bombardment. if it doesn't take out the ukrainian resistance, at least it terrorizes the population and puts more pressure on president zelenskyy to come to some agreement that is essentially a surrender document. president zelenskyy is not going to do this, but the russians are in a talk/fight/talk mode. effort to fore stall western action by raising hopes that some kind of a settlement.
