pentagon. what were the headlines? >> we have been watching this very slow stalled progress of the russians up in the north around kyiv. my big takeaway today and frankly in the last 24 hours of the military campaign in ukraine is that there actually has started to be a slow amount of progress of the russian military around kyiv. why that is significant, it's not because they are so much closer they will be able to isolate the city quickly, and in fact a u.s. official said he thinks it will be one on two weeks before the city is isolated and then weeks more before there's any chance the russians could take over the city. but the reason this slow progress towards kyiv is significant is it shows that despite the fact the russians have been stalled and bogged down, there has not been any indication that they are looking to turn away from the capital city. in fact, it appears that vladimir putin decided to double down and to open up a new front on kyiv and continue the effort
