that the president is having that experience and this month now that that invasion has now stretched into, and that comes after today he s on the way to poland right now, first before he comes here to warsaw, where i a am, he s going to poleland wher he gets a briefing on the humanitarian crisis caused by the russian invasion of ukraine. here in poland alone, over 2 million refugees have come here since they have been displaced by this russian invasion. they have taken in the majority of refugees, many others have gone to other nations here in europe including germany and others. but the focus on poland is going to be to thank them for their efforts, to help process the refugees, to talk about what the refugees have gone through, brianna. he s also going to meet with members of the 82nd airborne division, the president has been talking about bolstering u.s. forces here on the eastern flank of nato, given that s been a major concern for a lot of these nato allies since russia invaded
it s been used to expose russian falsehoods and designs. it s been used to leverage public opinion and shape that opinion so that we ve seen the likes of poland and germany, who might perhaps a few months ago been less out in front as they have been, to be very much out in front in supporting this war effort, so, they continue to go and go to the well with this, but it seems to be having some very good consequences. and i think really reshaping the way the public looks at intelligence and intelligence ajgencies and the way governmens are beginning to think, how can we make intelligence work for us? yeah, it really has been remarkable how it s been utilized as a strategy. president biden suggested a few days ago that vladimir putin shouldn t be in power. he should be removed. and i know you wrote an opinion piece on cnn.com that actually makes the point that makes it more difficult for those in russia who might also want that. how so? well, russian politics, the
challenging and so we are working with our partners and using our expertise to try to target the people that might not receive aid in other ways and just do as much as we possibly can. so, let s talk about moldova for a moment, because there s been a lot of focus on poland, which has taken the majority of the 4 million ukrainians who have fled because of the war, but the situation in moldova is one of which is a country that is under strain, because it just doesn t have the resources to deal with so many people. so, what s the situation there? so, most of the people coming here, there s 387,000 now and they re primarily coming from odesa in ukraine. some are driving themselves over the border, most are arriving on buses and some are coming on foot. the vast majority are here in the capital, where there are 75 collective centers. and the government is actually doing an incredible job with their limited resources in partnership with humanitarian
this scene was recorded by a man running from those explosions. what seems to be a new normal in the city. but there is a glimmer of hope. after a request from the leaders of france and germany, russia is expected to reopen a humanitarian corridor out of maher ewe poll. buses are on the way to the city, but no word on when they ll arrive. for many ukrainians who leave their homes, they ve headed to poland, but hung gary has taken in more than 300,000 refugees. as cnn reports, some of them are now learning to adapt to a new life suddenly and unexpectedly. reporter: in the play area of a temporary refugee shelter in hungary, kids sketch out their recent traumas on paper. burning tanks drawn in crayon. deadly battles fill out the chalkboard. just outside that tent, this man
a couple of incidents on the periphery of the city. it is a good question, because when we came in a few days ago, we crossed the border from poland into ukraine and there is a supply line of trucks as long as you can see bringing everything that this country needs into ukraine and it makes you wonder why this area has not been a target by the russian forces, because it would be fairly easy to bomb that road, to close it down, and why is this area being spared? that was my first impression coming in here, i guess we have to wait and see what happens. yeah, yeah, exactly. a lot of people thought that, you know, it was said that zelenskyy had to flee, it would be to lviv, set up a government in that part of the country. you got to wonder. and it s a good point, too, when it comes to the convoys that you saw coming in, too, why the convoys of arms that are coming in, as well, still have not yet been targeted by the russians. and they are coming across
