on the horizon. deeply on edge. thanks so much, nick. let s very visit all of this with lieutenant general mark hertling, cnn military analyst, retired from the 7th army. let s zero in on the south, what russia has achieved overnight and what they have not. yeah. brianna, nick s presentation was excellent. he s talking about what s going on. there s confusion down there. i m going to take a look at this from a battlefield geometry standpoint. these maps don t tell the whole story. it is 400 miles between mariupol and ondesa. odesa, a million people, third largest. mar mariupol, 500,000. mykolaiv, 400,000. these are big towns. when you see this red and
the building at the moment of the attack. i know that ukrainian rescue teams are trying to find survivals. i think in a couple minutes we will receive more details from mar mariupol. it s also striking you need to put these pieces together. ma mariupol had agreed-upon escape routes to other cities, then you see this happen. what do you think of these agreements for evacuation routes? it might be impossible to trust that any of these can hold. i m sure r, unfortunately, tt within the next couple of days, any agreements with russia will cost nothing. they can tack these negotiations to the world that they are not so cruel barbarians.

even the theater. they hit everything, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, maternity houses, theaters, churches, anyplace civilians are trying to hide from missiles. also coming back to marchiupol, the number of victims in mar mariupol, meaning people killed by the missiles and heavy attacks of russians but also those who died from hunger and dehydration in mariupol in one city, the number of victims up to date is 20,000. listen to this number. 20,000 of civilians and only one city of mariupol. and the situation like that happens in actually dozens of ukrainian cities in north, south and east of ukraine. according to deputy head of
to win this war and rebuild the country because russians are attacking our cities with missiles with their military airplanes and other kind of weapon of big caliber. you re talking a lot about mariupol and the situation in mariupol is really hard. according to the deputy mayor, about 18% of residential buildings are not available for the citizens anymore. this is why a number of people are trying to hide in bomb shushut shelters or basements or other places like the theater. but 1,000 people were hiding in the theater, not because they wanted to spend time in theater but because their buildings are bombed and ruined. there are no homes. these people don t have homes anymore. that s why they were forced to hide in the theater. but russian occupants have hit
