zaporizhzhia. we can hear the regular thud of outgoing artillery fire, and that tells you the fighting is intensifying. more than that, john, i think what is key here is considering how deeply entrenched this line is becoming and that is of extreme concern to ukraine as well. not only are they subject to russian advances that are helped by the long-range missiles that russia has, for instance, that have been hitting some of the towns i mentioned to the south of here. we re also seeing this hour from the ukrainian side an announcement that essentially in the russian-controlled southern-held territories to the north of which i m standing, communications have essentially been cut off. no more internet connections. no more telephone connections. that s what we re hearing from people trying to get across the boarder. they re no longer able to speak to the relatives they ve left behind. here in this region, there are five districts. three of them entirely without communication this hour. s
