11:09 am
a desa desa is of major strategic importance. it is the largest port in ukraine, and they have been waiting for this, but certainly this time, it seems of 1st time a strike of this magnitude in odessa. we were there just over a week there have been missiles fired at the city. we've seen the air defense systems, very much a in action, particularly at night. but certainly this does seem to be the 1st time that one of these strategic infrastructures has been hit. and when you are in odessa, what will people, they're telling you about what they do if rush were attacked, a lot of people have left the city, but a lot of people have also stayed at the same time. this is the city that has taught has had time to fortify. it is a major fortress from coming in to, you know, there's checkpoints everywhere, anti tank traps. it's very the military, very sensitive about what the media can and cannot film permissions. and the people
