vladimir putin is talking about needing to protect that has seen war in the last eight years that we are hearing blasts in this tightly packed city is quite an extraordinary development in terms of what this says about the scale of what vladimir putin might be trying to achieve. a deeply troubling morning, frankly, to wake up and see this place that wants to be so calm now on edge. michael? perhaps surprising, that far in the northern belarus, in the east in donbas and the south in crimea and where you are in the west of the country. nick, thanks for the report. nick paton walsh there. let s turn to katie bow who is with us at the pentagon with more. what are you hearing about the troop flompt? yeah, so, u.s. intelligence and defense officials are closely tracking russian maneuvers in an effort to understand the scope and how this campaign is going to unfold
