ukraine, which would help protect kyiv all the way down to odesa, all of western ukraine with nato forces on the ground where there aren t russians forces right now and also a no fly zone in western ukraine with air defense systems that could protect places like lviv from russian missile and aircraft attacks. general, it is always great to see you and to get your insights. thank you so much for being with us this morning, major general dana pittard. thank you so much, brianna. unable to escape, hundreds of ukrainians are living under constant russian bombardment. cnn reports from a front line town as russia prepares a major offensive in the east. plus, crises at home and abroad, a losing president biden popularity points, what his approval ratings now show. and prince harry and meghan making a royal return to the uk. the royal family member they visited, that s just ahead.
now that is causing some fear in the russian black sea fleet. this was the most powerful warship in the black sea fleet as well as the flagship. so the other ships are moving further and further away. what that will mean to ukrainians is the ships will have less ability now to support with naval gunfire and missiles to any land operations near odesa and other places. you said wave top. to the uninitiated, such as myself, what does that mean? well, that means that what the ukrainians did and they had to be it was bold and audacious. the movement of the neptune anti-ship missile battery had to be done very carefully because if they sent off a radar signature it would have alerted the moskva. when the missiles were fired they were shot and their trajectory was just above the water so it was very difficult for any radar to see that.
there can t be limit. you can see what happens in ukraine. we do not have this is crime scene really. there can t be limit. reporter: many ukrainians, though, have reached theirs. overwhelmed by war and exhausted by the uncertainty, their nightmare cannot end soon enough. scott mclean, thank you for that important report. ukrainian refugees, meanwhile, are struggling with the pain of having to flee their homes on top of the uncertainty that comes with starting over someplace new. thankfully there are organizations like care usa providing necessities like a warm meal and a place to stay. let s bring in michelle nun president and chief executive at care usa. michelle, thank you so much for joining us on early start. thank you for all that you are doing. i know that you have set up this essentially transit center that s welcoming more than 1,000 refugees a day from ukraine. tell us, you know, you ve been at this for weeks now, how is it
borodianka. all right. i want to bring in matt rivers here in lviv. let s talk about this ship that sunk. we swwoke up yesterday with ukrainians rejoicing. you had russia saying it was still afloat. this morning it really has sunk. absolutely. as a singular event goes this is one of the most impactful events we have seen throughout this campaign so far. what happened overnight, and we got word from the russian ministry of defense, it sunk as incident was being towed to port. they were trying to get it to the port for repairs but it had so much damage that it couldn t hold up to the towing and it sunk. the ukrainians continue to say they launched several cruise
well, the sinking of the warship moskva is huge in so many ways and what my sources have told me is that ukrainians used two anti-ship cruise missiles called the neptune missiles, and the way they the way they did it, they used a 2 b 2 drone to keep the radar busy on the moskva ship, on the sea side, not the land side, the sea side. so the radar was looking in a different direction, there was some rain going on so the cruise missiles went wave top and hit the ship. the destruction of the moskva is the largest warship to be destroyed in combat really since world war ii. the moskva is actually larger than a general borano that was destroyed by the british royal navy in 1982, falklands war.
