7:16 am
but soldiers on ukraine's front lines feel they have something the enemy can't muster. but warren is bordering. they're fighting for money for the days of some crazy people. that demoralized, we are at home defending our homes, our children, our parents. we have no place to escape to float. and in these defensive positions on the outskirts of the capital cave, they have something else to support for the underdog, the sympathy of foreigners who have travelled here to ukraine to become comrades. i'm working in your di ng said democracy is process. is one mind decide to another can play some of it. at a checkpoint in the capital tiles filled with old soviet era tomes and textbooks, the reservists on duty se they'll use the books to set the barricades of light if they have to solve it. history has not been kind to ukraine,

7:19 am
was the next day? what's our future here? no one knows what the future will bring. if russian forces do mount a ground assault on the capital, it will likely be through these western outskirts for the cities defenders. the certainty is that the battle for ukraine is happening now behind the lines. another army is hard at work, volunteers contributing in every way they can to the war effort, cutting stitching notting, turning strips of cloth into camouflaged netting. you hear a great deal about the unexpected strength of ukrainian resistance, about the bravery of its soldiers, the example set by its leaders. the civilians have taken up arms and joined the front line. well this, this is no less a part of it. civilians, soldiers, fighters and survivors. the finally woven fabric of a nation under attack. joe,
