civilian bodies. good morning, everybody. i m neil cavuto. on this holiest of weekends, an unending hell of events up folding again in unfolding again in ukraine. we have the latest on vladimir putin s well wrath we re told having nothing to do with the sinking of that battleship, but apparently having everything to do with the sinking of that battleship. trey? yeah, neil, that s exactly right. good morning. russian forces fired once again on the ukrainian capital of kyiv this morning. this time targeting the eastern part of the city. at least one person was killed during those strikes. today the mayor of kyiv is warning residents not to return to the city so quickly, fearing further russian attacks. he went on to explain the air defense systems are working to try to intercept these incoming rounds. we ve heard air raid sirens multiple times so far today as ukrainian president zelensky had this to say about the situation. our armed forces are doing it brilliantly. they
Infrastructure, schools, supermarkets, apartment buildings, they re damaged and completely destroyed. humanitarian is dire. 100,000 people in the city and as many as 22,000 died. and they re trapped and no we re having trouble communicating with the people for evacuations. and we used to get people out through the secret method and it s shut down. before i go, it s a terrible situation, it s so important what you re doing, trey yingst, the whole team, thank you for what you re doing, no idea how you re helping the ukrainian people. neil: you have no idea how you ve helped a lot of people. brett, have a safe weekend. a former special u.s. special ops, saying i have to go there. it s there, it s in some people s dna.
Down. enter brett velocovich. he hates when i compliment him. he s a former u.s. special intelligence officer. he can t sit there, he has to help and he does, he did. and he s taking a break in action to talk about the next stage of the help campaign. brett, good to have you, always an honor. thank you, i appreciate it so much. neil: let s talk about what you ve encountered and seen and i would imagine with the uptick in air sorties by the russians and it s going to get to be more aggressive in the days ahead, just getting out of there, just getting relief to people there is going to be a lot more difficult. yeah, it s tough and i m ready to go back already. i don t feel like the job is fully done. the pain that the ukrainians are going through, people can t imagine. i m devastated by the inhumanity i witnessed by
There. when he was in texas after hurricane harvey, people said it made them feel like they were valued by not just the federal government, but by americans in general. he carries the message on behalf of all of us. now that he s in florida after hurricane irma, you ve been in scenes i would imagine in the military where you look in the face of people who suffered and you bring them hope just by your very presence. brett: wright, the president is doing what he showed as commander-in-chief, he s leading, he s out there in the field. a lot of times people don t realize is the disaster begins after the hurricane. want to go back to your house and steal the damage that took place. i hope his message to the people is we ve got our backs. the federal government has drawbacks. when i flow to harvey to help with the disaster and flow to irma, one of the things i found particularly interesting about harvey was how many people were devastated after the floodwaters receded. i worked with a vete
Well. brett, you are asked the question about what needs to be done long-term. not just politically, but from a heart perspective. we ve learned so much from these storms. what kind of leadership needs to be done down the road. brett: i love to see this right now. the american people need to see this and show how he s helping. over the long term, definitely needs funding to be brought in. we ve had two major disasters and i think for a while as a country, we ve been focused a lot on the wrong thing. we barely have enough assistance out there to help each other so we need to focus on really helping the citizens of florida and we can forget about texas of course and it s incredibly important that he works with the federal agencies to get the funding that s needed to help get everything to the citizens of quick as possible. harris: gillian, as you look at the for this being
