ordinary ukrainians taking up arms ready to fight the russian aggressor. coming up here on cnn newsroom, we talk to one ukrainian ready for battle and why he says vladimir putin will not win. that s coming up. i see you re alone here. he fights for ukraine. that s all. i m jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you re age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insuran on fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can t increase,
capital, and vladimir putin is not going to take control over it whatever happens. he will pay a huge price for this. and i m pretty sure that russian people actually they have to be with their president. if they re not going to protest against putin s regime, they have to face the fact that russia should be going under severe sanctions. and i m asking, again, u.s. and european politicians, act now. be sure that ukraine is not going to surrender, but we need your help. we need your assistance now. michael, with your permission i ve coordinated with my colleagues, ukrainians, a very short list on what can be done, obviously swift. obviously without saying s.w.i.f.t. should be turned off for russia.

i m kim brunhuber live at cnn center in atlanta. the fate of ukraine s capital hangs in the balance as russian forces reach the streets of kyiv. russia says it has conducted cruise missile strikes overnight but says it didn t hit civilian targets. the statement came after a barrage of explosions rocked kyiv, and ukraine said active fighting has reached the city streets where president zelenskyy says ukrainians aren t putting down their arms. he s also urging the eu to decide whether ukraine will become a member. meanwhile this apartment building was struck by a rocket or a missile saturday morning, so the mayor says emergency services were at the scene, but the extent of casualties isn t yet known. in france president emmanuel
