good morning, america. great to have linsey davis with me and george this morning at the desk on a very busy news morning. >> lots to get to this morning. you're taking a live look now at ukraine's capital city of kyiv, a stunning turn of events overnight after weeks of buildup, russia unleashing a full-scale attack on its neighbor. >> russian president vladimir putin addressed his nation overnight declaring a military operation in ukraine's eastern donbas region but almost immediately explosions were seen and heard in cities across the country. they then released this video showing russian vehicles and tanks crossing the country's northern border. with the firepower it has massed around ukraine russia set to unleash the largest use of military force in europe since world war ii. a senior pentagon official told abc news before the invasion you're likely in the last few hours of peace on the european continent for a long time to
7:03 am
come. it has been met with international outrage and president biden pledged that the world will hold russia accountable, and he will address the country and announce stronger sanctions later today. live across the war zone, senior foreign correspondent ian pannell starts us off in kyiv. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george, that's right. more explosions this morning and we've seen two fighter jets flying low over the dnieper river, which just runs behind me. it's not clear who they belong to, and also video has emerged this morning of fighter helicopters flying low over a village just outside the capital. again they appear to be russian attack helicopters. the mood here today is tense. the streets are eerily quiet and people adjusting to the new reality of living in a country now at war. overnight, russia launching a large-scale attack as it starts to invade ukraine. a volley of explosions echoing through the night sky over kyiv.
7:04 am
russia's defense ministry claims to have neutralized ukraine's air defenses and here, at least seven cruise missiles hit a base outside the city. for weeks russia has been building up its forces piling on the pressure on the ukrainian government. on wednesday, a cyberattack on government sites and financial institutions. then reports emerging, russian troops amassing ever closer to the border. an appeal by rebels for russian help. within minutes of vladimir putin speaking just after 5:00 a.m. local time multiple attacks in regions across this country. video from the ukrainian border guard shows russian military vehicles including tanks, entering ukraine just south of the border where belarus, russia and ukraine meet. russian tanks and other forces also crossing points in the east, south as well as the north. just minutes before the attack, vladimir putin addressing the nation once more declaring the start of what he called a special military operation in ukraine aimed at the
7:05 am
demilitarization of the country. putin laying the groundwork by recognizing two breakaway territories controlled by separatists sympathetic to the kremlin as independent, but the magnitude of the attack making clear putin's ambitions extend far beyond these regions. russian forces attacking a number of sites in the capital of kyiv as ukrainian anti-aircraft fire responded and sirens wailed. waking the city's residents. there were attacks in eastern and southern cities too. in kharkiv, the country's second largest city that sits close to the russian border, and an explosion in dnipro, a city in the east. with the country under attack, president zelenskyy declaring martial law urging citizens to stay indoors cutting ties with russia and closing the country's airspace. a video statement saying we are strong, we are ready for everything. we will defeat everyone because we are ukraine. as the attack commenced a remarkable split screen as the u.n. security council huddled thousands of miles away in new york convening yet another
7:06 am
emergency meeting, diplomats decrying russian aggression but powerless to stop the assault. >> at the exact time as we are gathered in the council seeking peace, putin delivered a message of war. >> reporter: president zelenskyy in an impassioned television address just hours before the violence began, speaking in russian. he made a last appeal for peace. [ speaking foreign language ] saying he called putin himself to make the same plea but was met with only silence and then the sound of shelling. president biden responding to the attack saying, russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring and the united states and its allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. well, there have been a number of casualties. the precise numbers are in a state of flux, and it's hard to verify, lots of claims and counterclaims about what's going
7:07 am
on right now. the nato secretary-general speaking this morning i think catching the mood of not just here in ukraine but across the european continent saying, it will be a new europe after what we saw today, george. >> it already is. ian pannell, thanks very much. let's bring in martha raddatz in the western part of ukraine, lviv. martha, any signs of the military attack there? >> reporter: there were air raid sirens during the night and people obviously went to inside into interior rooms, that's just police officers behind me now, not anything like an air raid siren, but there were strikes at military facilities within about 80, 90 miles from here. of course, the real concern now is refugees, whether people will start coming towards lviv because we are about 50 miles from the polish border. they're setting up reception sites there for refugees. they say if things get bad, there could be a million refugees. we were down there just the other day. there are lines of cars already.
7:08 am
i can't imagine how bad this could get, george. >> martha raddatz, thanks. michael. >> thank you, george. and now to the russian side of the border and our foreign correspondent james longman in moscow. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. as the invasion begins, the information war is in full swing too. the government here knows the absolute shock many russians will feel at this news, and while they have been ramping up the rhetoric about a threat from ukraine, now the language is careful not to talk about an invasion but a limited or special military operation. putin has made a point of saying this is not an occupation. the defense ministry said that russian forces are not using missiles or artillery against civilians. they're simply trying to disable the military infrastructure and disand not believe reports about casualties saying this he'll be staged and so concerned about the message that the media watchdog issued a warning to
7:09 am
outlets to only use what they call official russian sources. state television has been playing features about the might of the russian military and on morning tv shows here there really was a sense of trying to downplay the magnitude of what is going on. vladimir putin's speech last night drilled down on the narrative that russia is aiming to stop a genocide and he used that word denaziification and he also issued a threat warning foreign powers of unprecedented consequences never encountered in history if they intervene. but i think like ukrainians, many russians did not believe the apparent scale of this offensive was possible and it is sobering here. george. >> certainly is. james, thanks. let's bring in our senior white house correspondent mary bruce. mary, we'll hear from the president later today, stronger sanctions are certain. >> reporter: absolutely, george. the president is promising a swift and united response here. he has called this an unjustified and unprovoked attack and he's vowing that the world will hold russia accountable. here at the white house the president will meet virtually this morning with key allies, and then this afternoon he's going to speak directly to the american people announcing these
7:10 am
new severe sanctions against russia. the details are still unknown at this point, but he could announce further sanctions on major russian banks. he could restrict russians' access to technology. he could even cut off russia from the international banking system or sanction putin directly. now, overnight, the president also spoke with ukrainian president zelenskyy again promising continued support and assistance to the people of ukraine, but one thing the president has made clear will not happen here, he has been firm, there will be no u.s. troops inside of ukraine. he has made it very clear saying that if russian and american troops start shooting at each other, that would become another world war, george. >> it certainly would, thanks. linsey. >> george, thank you. ahead of the russian attack, president biden moved u.s. troops to shore up our nato allies. some of those troops are now in poland and that's where we find our matt gutman this morning. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, linsey. right now there are 5,500 u.s. troops in southern poland. the ukrainian border is just a handful of miles away from where
7:11 am
we are. behind me you see elements of the 82nd airborne. before a week ago, none of what you see behind me was here. the mission originally was military exercises with the polish government. that shifted to a deter and assure mission which is to deter russia from attacking nato allies and assure nato allies that the u.s. is here and it is invested. martha mentioned a possible million refugees from the war. now, the mission is shifting again for the 82nd airborne. they're focusing more on those border checkpoints with ukraine where they expect a significant influx of possible refugees.ofho be there to try ll be os. beg b srcesgethhe rsian milar o >> matt gutman, thanks.
7:12 am
let's bring in our military analyst steve ganyard. steve, it's hard to call this attack a surprise right now but it's still shocking to see a land war in europe right now. what's your read of the military situation overnight? >> yeah, george, still piecing together reports we're getting sporadic here, and we don't have a great picture but remember surrounded on three sides by about 150, 170,000 troops, some of the initial attacks are just what we expected. we've seen some of these troops come down towards kyiv, don't know if they'll try to encircle kyiv. the town of kharkiv is the second largest town, it's about 1.4 million people, so it's very close to the border, they're moving in here as well. the rebel-controlled areas around the donbas which we saw the initial moves by the russians and the rebels last night. here's the interesting thing, this little town of kherson here, we know that troops have moved up from the crimea and moved into this town. why this town? because it's the last city, it's the port city on the dnieper
7:13 am
river, and this is the economic lifeline of the center part of ukraine. so if the russians hold this and they grab kharkiv and then interesting last night one of e initial attackwa a little town here dnipro here. draw the line from kharkiv to dnipro you have this geographic boundary that isolates eastern ukraine from the west of ukraine. this may tip us off as to the initial intent of mr. putin to separate eastern ukraine from the rest of ukraine. >> you say that's the initial intent right now. he says he has no intention of occupying the country. are his goals limited to the east? >> they have to be, george. you remember back in the soviet invasion, 1969, czechoslovakia took 250,000 troops to occupy and pacify that country. here, there are estimates of something like 600,000 troops would be required to occupy and to stay in a country the size of texas, so he doesn't have the troops to stay. hopefully he gets in and gets out, but what he wants in terms of price and what he holds on to
7:14 am
afterwards, that's the real question. >> and there won't be any u.s. troops going into ukraine but the chairman of the senate intelligence committee mark warner is warning russian cyberattacks could spike a wider war across nato. >> george, the cyber -- you know, cyber is like a wildfire. once you start it you can't always control it. if you remember back in 2014, when the russians came into ukraine, they used a bot that turned into a raging wildfire across the world, caused $10 billion worth of damage. so cyber is a concern just because you can't control it and it doesn't usually stay where you want it to, something that the u.s., the rest of the world will have to take into account as we see this evolve. >> finally, if putin does indeed stop at that line you drew in the east, is there anything the ukrainians can do to prevent him from holding it for the foreseeable future? >> not really, george. the russian military is clearly superior. putin has put a lot of money and
7:15 am
effort over the past 15 years to improve them. the ukrainians are better than they were in 2014m, but i think this is going to be a rear guard and it will turn into action and i think it will turn into an insurgency. the real question is, how quickly does it end? you remember back in the georgia war, when russia invaded georgia in 2008, that was sort of a five-day war. we'll see if mr. putin can throw in the towel that quickly and not turn this into a long-term invasion and occupation. >> steve ganyard, thanks, michael. all right, george. markets around the world reacting to the attack. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is tracking the latest. rebecca, good morning to you and the reverberation of this is being felt around the globe. >> reporter: good morning, michael. stocks are plunging and oil prices are soaring above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014. the most significant impact americans are feeling are at the pump.
7:16 am
$3.54 a gallon. here in california a record high, with this increase, we've seen in oil prices gasoline could be up as much as 10, 15 cents in the coming days. the more people spend on gas the less they have to spend elsewhere and that impacts stocks. linsey. >> rebecca, thank you. now to the concern russia could target the u.s. with cyberattacks targeting key infrastructure like the electrical grid, banking and communication networks. let's now bring in our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas in washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: linsey, good morning. there's real concern about the prospects of cyberattacks by the russian government if the situation continues to escalate or if sanctions hurt the russian economy to the point where the russian government feels the need to respond. in a sign of just how serious federal authorities are taking the situation, in recent weeks u.s. homeland security officials and the fbi have been
7:17 am
aggressively warning key private industry leaders and organizations of all sizes about the potential for russian hacking through a series of bulletins that have included instructions on how to protect computer networks. the potential targets that authorities care most about include the electrical grid, communications and mobile networks, oil and gas pipelines, water treatment facilities and our banking system. why so much concern? the russians have scores of sophisticated hackers and the infiltration of the 2016 presidential campaign showed they are willing to raise the stakes and last spring americans saw what hacking can do to everyday life when russian criminals shut down colonial pipeline. the question today, how much does the kremlin want to raise the stakes? guys. >> pierre thomas, thanks. we'll be tracking this invasion all morning long. also coming up, the trial of a former officer involved in the raid that killed breonna taylor is now under way. the latest on that, but first we

welcome back to "gma." you're looking at one of the explosions that hit ukraine after russia launched that attack overnight. soon after the ukrainian border service releasing this video that shows russian vehicles including tanks crossing the country's border. and earlier this morning look at these scenes in the capital of kyiv, bumper-to-bumper traffic of people leaving the city. let's bring in our team for the latest and we want o start with martha raddatz in lviv, ukraine. martha, you're in the west. it has not been the target of these attacks, but what do we know about the scale and severity of these attacks across ukraine right now? >> reporter: george, the russians have attacked ukraine from three different sides.
7:31 am
from the east of course and from the south. they've also hit sites here in the west, probably 50, 60 miles from where we are here in lviv, which is about 50 miles from the border with poland. we're told by a u.s. official that it's only the beginning, they expect the russian forces to gradually surround kyiv, the capital city here, and squeeze it off and try toecitate ttheree are also russian special forces throughout the country including here in lviv. one of the biggest problems of course is going to be refugees, especially here because we're so close to the border and they're hearing reports that refugees are already clogging the roads throughout ukraine.
7:32 am
president biden has said again and again no u.s. troops will be involved in this war. >> reporter: absolutely not. he's very firm on that but they're about 50 miles from me over the border in poland and we saw them, the 82nd airborne. i was in poland earlier in the week and talked to some of those soldiers and they say they're just doing that nato mission, but they are ready for anything. they are reinforcing our nato allies. you've got f-35 fighter jets. you've got attack helicopters and those additional soldiers on the ground but they are basically patrolling. they are making those nato allies feel better about what's happening with their neighbor. but i think also they could be very helpful in some sort of refugee crisis, there will be reception points every night, for example, george, the embassy here, what's left of it, the embassy moved down from kyiv, the very small scale little staff goes over to poland for safety. they've been doing that about three nights and then comes back
7:33 am
during the day and i think they will probably do it again today because things are relatively peaceful here but, again, it is ongoing and it could go on for weeks or months. >> could be just the beginning, martha raddatz, thanks. let's bring in mary bruce. mary, president biden has been warning of this for weeks. >> reporter: he has and, george, we are going to hear from him later today when he announces new severe sanctions against russia, but we have heard these increasing warnings from this administration and now the president is promising that russia, that vladimir putin will pay a price, that this will be severe punishment for them. now, we don't know the details of what the president will be announcing, some of the options that are on the table, he could move to cut off russian banks from the international finance system and could sanction putin directly and restrict his access to technology and target other major banks but the president is promising that this is going to be united response. he is going to be talking later here this morning meeting virtually with leaders of the g7 and we know he's been in constant communication with our nato partners as well.
7:34 am
even though so far these promises of tough sanctions to come have not been enough to clearly sway or deter vladimir putin, the president is promising that they will be punished for what he has called an unprovoked and unjustified attack. >> and we will be tracking the situation all morning long. mary, martha, thanks very much. michael. we're going to turn now to the trial of the officer involved in the raid that killed breonna taylor. the now former louisville cop accused of firing shots that endangered a neighbor. steve osunsami has the latest for us this morning. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we need to underline that this officer on trial is not accused of killing breonna taylor and this isn't even about the bullets that were fired into her apartment where she died as they were trying to break into her home. instead this officer is accused of firing shots into the apartment next door. americans demanding justice for the killing of 26-year-old breonna taylor will not find it with this trial. on trial this morning is one of the louisville police officers who was executing a search
7:35 am
warrant at taylor's home two years ago when she was killed. but even though it was the young black woman in apartment number 4 who died in a hail of gunfire, former police officer brett hankison who was outside her door is only accused of endangering her neighbors in apartment number 3. >> this is not a case to decide who is responsible for the death of breonna taylor. >> reporter: he's pled not guilty and is expected to take the stand in his own defense. he's charged with three counts of wanton endangerment. prosecutors say the former officer showed extreme indifference to human life when he fired blindly and three of his bullets rang through the apartment of breonna taylor's next-door neighbor. on the witness stand wednesday that neighbor cody etherton told jurors he was home that night with his pregnant girlfriend and her 5-year-old son and that the gunfire came just inches away from hitting him. >> in my mind i was thinking that for some reason i just thought that somebody was trying
7:36 am
to come into our apartment. so my instinct was to go to the front door, of course, to protect my family. >> rporter: hankison's defense lawyers told jurors that the former officer was just responding to gunfire from taylor's apartment. authorities say that none of the ten shots that hankison fired killed breonna taylor, instead she was killed by a bullet by another officer. none of the officers involved in the raid have been charged in connection with her death. this former officer on trial this morning is free on bond. he faces up to five years in prison for each of the three charges against him if convicted. guys. >> thank you, steve. coming up, camilla, the duchess of cornwall gives her first tv interview as a future queen. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchemel... cut.

7:47 am
morning she joins us. good morning, amy. >>elsaid, michae yes, this is the iconic view of the galapagos islands, and i have to give a shoutout to our intrepid crew for hiking up a very steep trail to bring everyone this view. it is clear how these islands were formed by fire. what's remarkable today is, each has their own bio-regions, and some of them have their own individual technicolored iguanas found nowhere else in the world. diving blue-footed boobies, groups of sharks, hordes of bright red crabs, a few of the exotic animals we found here in the galapagos. >> he's hungry. >> reporter: these islands teeming with life, sit along the ring of fire, a horseshoe of volcanic activity in the pacific.
7:48 am
the volcano on isabela island is still going strong after erupting january 7th and we caught a glimpse from a few miles offshore, a vibrant lava river moving south of the eruption site. otherworldly yellow and red hues light up the night sky. on other parts of the island, a rare sighting, these pink iguanas discovered in 1986. with only a little more than 200 pink iguanas in existence not much is known about them and their eggs have fallen prey to invasive species. >> we want to know when theyave yet which is alarming. >> reporter: on the island of santa cruz we see the impact volcanoes can have on the landscape and how other iguanas behave as we hike through this arid environment, we quickly find yellowland iguanas hiding in the shade, this one seems to be smiling right at us. another ignoring us completely as it feeds on brush. the males are bright yellow. their strength on full display, essential for protecting their territory and fighting for potential mates.
7:49 am
>> they will engage in a ferocious fight. it's all about the females. it's all about the territory. this is about the senoritas. >> reporter: when two males confront each other one gives a head nod, the other responds. and then it's on. fighting and tackling, the face-off is fierce but forces the iguana to expend a lot of energy and the gladiators will take breaks before going again. it's hard to tell who won. even though we are in a dry environment the animals rely on these cacti with water stored in these pads. climate change could dramatically kill off the cacti leaving the iguanas with little water to tide them over during the dry season. >> there's not a lot of water here. >> not much at all, and so whatever is kept in this pad that keeps the cactus alive, it will also keep these reptiles alive. >> reporter: these ancient
7:50 am
animals, emblematic of survival of the fittest now face greater challenges to their existence. and speaking of water, well, we saw quite the sight in the water last night. we ran out, i actually took some video with my iphone. we found some big guys, some eight-footers fully grown black-tipped reef sharks in the waters and we're going in there later today. we're going to snorkel with some sharks, i have to say after seeing these guys it definitely gave me pause and some penguins, i'm really looking forward to that, but it's going to be another big day of adventure, guys, back to you. >> stay away from those sharks. >> michael's face says it all. >> you get to a point, no, i'm looking at you like, is she crazy? all right, coming up, "deals & steals." tory johnson is here with big savings on some clever solutions from small businesses. >> wow, no way, no way. vaccinatd with prevnar 20. so am i.

because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm asking about prevnar 20. because there's a chance pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 65 or older you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20 is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. even if you've already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, ask your doctor if prevnar 20 could help provide additional protection. don't get prevnar 20 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. that's why i chose to get vaccinated with prevnar 20. because just one dose can help protect me from pneumococcal pneumonia. ask your doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated with prevnar 20 today. look at these mighty quaker oats... small in size, epic in taste. heart-healthy. a good source of fiber. and provides lasting energy.

♪ ooh, i'm blinded by the light ♪ we're back now with one of the stars of the new superhero movie everyone is talking about, "the batman." emmy-nominated actor paul dano is playing the riddler in "the batman" and he's joining us now, paul. good morning, my friend. good to see you this morning. >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> i'm just curious. how did you sleep last night because we heard playing this character interfered with your sleep a little bit when you were making the movie. >> yeah, okay, well, you know, the premiere went well so i slept well enough but i should clarify because sometimes these quotes take on a life of their own on the internet, but sometimes it's a little hard to come down from the day, but i think i mean that and i'll be curious if this holds up for you, more like an athlete frankly where you're like, you
8:50 am
prepare your body and mind, you know, when you have a big scene in a batman film it is game day and you have to be at a certain temperature and that temperature is not the temperature that i exist at in real life, right, when i'm at home. you know, you're sort of operating at a different temperature so, yeah, sometimes like especially with the character like this it's a little hard to come down from at the end of the day. >> i can understand that. i had a chance to see the movie last week and your character, you're an awesome riddler. let's put it this way but traditionally the riddler wears a bright green suit with question marks, but the looks that you have in this movie are completely different and had the idea to wrap yourself in plastic underneath the costume. what gave you that idea? >> well, the character doesn't quite have the resources maybe to be like a really fancy vigilante, so, and i couldn't -- and he's so meticulous about the details and he's quite brilliant
8:51 am
and as you will see he's quite in control and i couldn't shave all the hair off my body because i think part of this person's job is they have to also be able to probably walk around in the world, right, the way that batman has bruce wayne and has to be able to go out there, the riddler has his edward nashton, and so i thought i'll wrap myself in clingfilm and see if that will cover up any dna evidence and i quickly learned that that was a slightly regrettable choice day one when my head was throbbing and the sweat couldn't escape from my body but then we learned to work with it and i think it's got a nice effect. >> it definitely has a great effect. we'll take a look at a clip right now. let's check it out. >> police. hands up. >> he said put your hands up, you son of a --
8:52 am
>> ooh. the reveal. we love a good reveal man. you said you always wanted to be in a superhero movie so is it living up to your expectations? >> oh, man, it's beyond. i mean, first of all, the gift to get to be in batman which i think is probably the coolest, i think a lot of people feel that way to have matt reeves, the script is extraordinary. it's super powerful. to be with this group of artists and then really the part that i wasn't expecting to enjoy so much is that the fans are so crazy passionate about batman and about this film and we're also really passionate so we're finally at the point where we get to share this film and hand it over to them and i'm just so
8:53 am
excited to see what they think. >> well, i know what i think. i thought it was fantastic. i'm sure everyone else will too. paul, thank you so much for joining us this morning. really appreciate you and we want to let everybody know "the batman" will be in theaters on march 4th and tomorrow, batman and catwoman themselves, robert pattinson and zoe kravitz are going to join us right here on "gma." we'll be right back. ♪ no, i can't sleep
