border of poland. it's an offensive that is reached far into ukraine, that, of course, has its capital, kyiv, under major concern, under intense attack. so what is the end goal here for president putin? what is enough to end this? we know from president zelenskyy's side what he's offered, his olive branch is the promise that ukraine would remain a neutral country, that it would not join nato, which is not on the table anyways. but there's going to have to be some back and forth. the russian president does have a strategic goal here, and that is access to a warm water port. what does that access look like territorially when you're looking at the east of the country? >> and whether that's acceptable to ukrainians at all. it's obviously one of the major issues. thank you so much. we're witnessing a brutal onslaught of cities across the country and that includes areas that had been largely spared from the bloodshed thus far.
