this way of life. as guests in this remarkable city, so must we. if an air raid siren goes off during the show, when it went off last night and hours ago, we will need to leave this location and go somewhere more secure. now, if that does happen, my friend and colleague, alex witt, is standing by in new york to pick up coverage until i m all set and safe to rejoin you. while a raid sirens don t always mean that there is an imminent threat in the area, these are precautionary measures that we are going to abide by, particularly during the week when everyone here has been on high alert. there s been a concern that russia would mark the first anniversary of the war with an attack that would likely have targeted kyiv. but the skies around the city have actually been eerily quiet. the anniversary came and went without any major new offensives or acts of aggression by russia. fighting, however, continues in the eastern and southern parts of this country, like in and around the city
