It's so infuriating somebody wants to come into our home and steal, steal our future from us. >> how long can kyiv hold out? how long can -- can you hold onto the city? >> i'm not ready to give you a clear answer. so long -- so long time if we still. >> mr. mayor, do you have a message to vladimir putin? >> we want in ussr. we don't want back russia. we see our future as democratic, modern european country. that's it. no discussion. it's our goal. we're fighting for that. we're fighting for our country. we're fighting for our dream.

They haven't changed that at all. they believe putin's efforts here are unjustified and unnecessary. so, i think you're seeing this effort, a deliberate effort by the white house and by the pentagon to try to deescalate when it comes to that. when president biden was asked today do americans need to be worried about the prospect of a nuclear war happening, he flatly and bluntly said no and didn't add anything else. >> appreciate it. i want to get perspective from ambassador taylor from the ukraine. you heard reporter from washington and ukraine. you saw the massive military convoy near kyiv. w...
