cal, it's good to have you with us. we've been hearing, obviously as we just heard there from ambassador mcfaul, and we also heard earlier from the senior economic adviser to president zelenskyy, and he described to us the horrors of what's taking place. we've all seen these images now. describe for us what your hearing and seeing on the ground there with these russian attacks against civilian neighborhoods continuing. >> it's a compounding problem that's been going on now for five or six days. it's not just happened overnight. for five or six days some of the cities, you've had no electricity, no water, and no heat. according to president zelenskyy yesterday, that was a young girl who died in mariupol because she was dehydrated. we haven't independently confirm that, but it speaks to the situation that these russians are saying -- they cut it off from the rest of the grid and they just shell it. the state department will say that sometimes they're indiscriminately shelling, sometimes they're targeting civilians directly.
