back to lyviv and jonathan hunt reporting there tonight. it s good to see you again, jonathan. what s the status of the ongoing conversation about getting planes to ukraine who has to be involved in this conversation. some say it s a good idea. others don t. what s the latest? complex to get those planes. the idea at the moment that poland would send in soviet era mig fighters that it has in it s air force and the u.s. is looking closely at back filling that with f16s from the united states. one getting the migs to the ukraine and getting the f-16s into poland. not an easy operation to pull off. that s the way it would work if it happens, shannon. in the meantime, no more cease-fires here in ukraine. the war goes on. the hardest hit city right now, a city in the south, it s been
