the russians got finished with it. it too looked like dresden. so what richard engel was telling us is this is an appetizer. this is just the building he was standing in front of is just a forerunner, and kyiv, of course, is not the only city in ukraine. in city after city in ukraine and other parts of it, in the south and the east, it is not just one building or five buildings or 3%. it is much more total than that. the damage that s been done, the fear that s been struck into the ukrainians is all toward one goal, to bring a nation of 40 odd million people to its knees, to rob it of its independence, to rob it of its sovereigty and to put it under the russian wing. that s what this is all about. that putin cannot be dealt with, we can t psychoanalyze him. we have to hope that the pressure that s being put on him, which is immense
the russian military campaign. lastly, the russian military need to be resupplied. they need a pause. that s just a military necessity after three or four weeks of fighting. that might be dressed up as a cease-fire without actually being one. i see. joshua, we want to read from your piece, the latest piece in the new yorker entitled what the russian invasion has done to ukraine. patient unknown number one, a 7-year-old boy, arrived at children s hospital in kyiv on the second day of russia s invasion of ukraine. he had been riding in a car with his parents and two sisters when they come under fire. his parents and one sister died on the spot. his other sister was taken to a different hospital. an ambulance brought the boy,en conscious and losing blood, to
least one death. but this is not the only place in kyiv that is now under attack. we are on the northern side of the city. then, of course, this weekend there was that terrible incident in which two journalists were shot, one of them well-known brent renaud, a well-known filmmaker who lost his life in the attack. that was out the northern outskirts of kyiv. richard, give us a perspective of the battle on kyiv. there are areas that have been attacked and torn to pieces. i m curious generally, what percentage of the city is still untouched, unmarked by russian artillery? reporter: 95% or higher is untouched. there has been very little damage in the center of kyiv, and that s why this strike is
knows where else it will go. you re right. even speaking to people in the uk over the weekend it is much more intense there. my daughter s school is doing fundraisers for ukraine almost every day. most people i know are getting involved in trying to do something for ukraine. they really feel this could you know, the people i speak to in london saying there s a 20% chance this could be war throughout europe. i guess, ed, the question is, you know, europe is in this position where it doesn t want the war to expand beyond ukraine. nobody wants the war to expand beyond ukraine, but there are also questions about what would the united states and nato do if, as joe says, there was a chemical weapon launched in kyiv, what would the united states do if a missile was sent into an arms depot that happened to be just inside romania or just inside poland.
to collect whatever they can. this is a completely civilian area. it is surrounded by civilian areas. there are no military targets here. at least one person was killed. we saw the body taken away followed by distraught family members just a short while ago. going back to what admiral stavridis was saying, this is exactly the kind of strategy russia is now pursuing, bringing its destructive capability closer and closer to the heart of civilian-populated centers. we are now just about four miles from the square, which is the times square, if you will, of kyiv. and this building was targeted, it was targeted around 5:00 in the morning local time. most people were asleep. luckily and i think it is hard to say that there was anything lucky about this attack, but fortunately many of the people had already left. about half of the building was occupied at the time. so there were injuries and at
