people. have of them have already left. so it is hardened in a way, but it is hardened to tolerate or to endure this level of attack. if vladimir putin were suddenly to escalate it dramatically, and start unleashing hundreds or even thousands of rounds of artillery, it would be a very different situation. they have done that in other cities. zelenskyy is meeting with the three ministers from the czech republic, poland, slovenia. are they still there? reporter: no details about their movements have been released probably for security reasons, which are apparent. of course. reporter: we ve heard no readout of the meeting, only that they left lviv, they were heading toward kyiv, and that the meeting was taking place and
that s between the iranians and the saudis. we have interests there, but and it s a pretty easy line to draw. you talk about this conflict not in a regional term, putin may be trying to play this off as, hey this is our region. this has nothing to do with you. but don t you view this as putin s war against the west? this is putin s war against the west. president zelenskyy called him a butcher on the call we had with him and that is an apt description of what he s doing. chuck, my mom and her parents were living in warsaw, the last time there was a war in europe in the 1930s and the 1940s. i had dinner with her. they survived and came to the united states after the war was over. i can t believe i ve lived long enough to see another war in europe but, of course, just as

leaders in brussels next week. the held of nato just announced what he s calling an extraordinary summit next week at nato headquarters. defense ministers plan to meet there tomorrow, the same day president zelenskyy addresses congress virtually. we may have got an preview when zelenskyy delivered an impassioned plea to our neighbors up north. we all need to do more to protect ukraine from russia. they killed 97 ukrainian children. we are not asking for much. we are asking for justice, for real support, which will help us to prevail to defend, to save life all over the world. canadian lawmakers gave him a three-minute standing ovation.
