story here i n ukraine. this is the u.s. wreath and then the sirens stop whaling and president biden got in his motorcade. it was a huge motorcade. this entire area was completely blocked off to traffic. the streets were empty. our live shot position is up on the balcony of the hotel behind me. and we had multiple visits from soldiers who told us under no circumstances were we to go out on the balcony. they told us to stand back further from the windows. so there was a lot of security that went into this. this is a trip that many people have been waiting a long time for. and as you heard from president
