next, kamikaze drones. they are cheap, weigh less than 6 pounds a piece and really important. giving ukrainians an advantage on the battle field, so we have a special outfront report on what they are, how they re being used next. plus key u.s. ally taking on a top russian general known as the butcher of mariupol. trump s son-in-law testifying before the january 6th committee, first person in trump s family to speak to the committee. what have we learned? how bizarre by omc no annuaual fee on any discover card. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there s skyrizi. things are getting clearer yeah, i feel free to bare my skin yeah, that s all me nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin, that s my new plan nothing is everything
and here we go again, so what they re doing, a couple of new data points. one is if you look at that mariupol, that spider was just talking about, the so-called head of one of those break-away republicans in the donbas is now ordering that they have an administrative entity of some type for the city of mariupol which is not even under russian control at this point, but they re already bringing in that kind of civilian hardware that s, for, say, taking it over legally and the other part of it, not to get too in the weeds but the russian parliament, the lower house of russian parliament is now working on a bill that would declare russian speakers globally, regardless of where they are as compatriots and if you call them compatriots then the russian speakers in that region around mariupol would have to be protected, in
sanctioning these military figures, media figures as well. big question, of course, will these sanctions have an actual impact and get the kremlin to step back? thank you very much, matthew, and raises the question on the one hand, it s good you re doing this, on the other thinking wow, they didn t sanction the general in charge of mariupol until now? it depends how you look at it. i want to go now to maria, she knows more about who is and should be on the lists than anyone, she s the investigative department head of anticorruption foundation founded by top putin critic alexei navalny, so talking today about one of the people sajzed by the uk, sergei brulev, russian television anchor, you and navalny centered on him in one of your investigations, what more can you tell us about him? sergei brulov is one of the

just examples of that, the new media sanctions also in the uk i know they sanctioned a top russian military general that they called and i quote, the butcher of mariupol what are they saying about him and his role? reporter: yeah, that s right. this colonel general which is very high ranking military figure in russia, he s believed to have been the individual who orchestrated the siege and the attack on mariupol in southern ukraine, on the sea of asov, that battle of course still underway, a battle in which thousands of people have been killed, potentially civilians, predominantly, inside mariupol. awful scenes we ve been seeing from that city on the sea of asov in southern ukraine. of the utter devastation that s been wrought by the russian military advance on it but you re right, the british along with other countries are
