t them. but he said denazi fiction of the country. they live up here in kyiv. when he said he is going to de denavyfy, he s going to go after other parts of the country where he sees, quote, unquote nazis and do whatever he wants in the entire territory of ukraine. president zelenskyy noted to it last night. he s jewish. he is talking about a denazi fiction of a country of someone who is jewish. you are talking about getting to the capital. we have had russian troops across the belarusian border here. we have had reports down here in crimea of russian troops moving north. yeah. how closely are you watching that we will see at some point more ground forces in.
explosions what can they feel. of course they feel fear. they feel determination to resist. ukraine has been attacked without any reason. ukraine did nothing to be facing this invasion. it started an invasion of a sovereign, independent country. people are trying to adjust to this situation that is very fluid. we are seeing every few minutes about russian troops trying to break into ukraine s territory. in recent days, they are coming towards kyiv. russian tanks have broken through the ukrainian border in the kyiv region and are moving towards kyiv. so they re all in exit of kyiv, trying to leave to the city and move to the western part of the country. although it is unclear whether it would be safe in other regions because russia has been launching this over all
airfields. cyber, followed by strikes on military facilities to try to decapitate the leadership or separate the orders that are coming from kyiv out into the field. what we have seen so far is it looks like the ukrainian military is fighting back. general hertling talked earlier about counterbattery fire. it s unfortunate, they will want superiority before troops go in. some have entered donbas. they have to have close airport support. to do that, they have to have total superiority of the air, no-fly zone. there was russian aircraft overhead. so they are moving in that direction. they want to take out integrated air and missile defenses. ukrainians don t have a lot of that. this is not like israel with iron dome that can knock down missiles. they don t have patriot. unfortunately, we re not allowed to help with patriot missiles.
javelin anti-tank missiles, open reporting is there s one missile for every russian tank coming in. they re very effective, shoulder fired, and very accurate. so they re going to bloody the nose of the russians before the russians get too far towards the capital or towards the river. and i think they re going to fight for their homeland and use the tools they have. but they just to the floor enough to be able to defeat this overwhelming force it seems like the defense secretary lloyd austin was right. he said it was highly likely we would see russian tanks rolling into kyiv. i guess the question is when and what is that going to look like? what do you think? . i think this is going to unfold quickly over the course of the next week. i m certain there will be tremendous resistance on the part of the ukrainians. but particularly in donbas where the trenches are, they re going to have a tough night on their hands. then they will start moving in.
vladimir putin has launched a multipronged large scale military attack against ukraine. this is an attack across the entire nation of ukraine. you can see there explosions reported in at least 16 different locations. all over. you can see the range of cities, kyiv, odessa, kharkiv, including far from the border. we have brand-new images that show damage done by a bombing operation in the kyiv region. they have grabbed their belongings and are fleeing west, leaving the capital. cnn has obtained this exclusive video showing russian military vehicles entering the country from the north from belarus. president putin going on state tv to announce this military operation to do what he calls protect the donbas region. the goal, he claimed, was the
