if we pan over here, you can see we're actually right on the maidan square on independence square right in the city center. if you want to talk about defiance, what they do here is they turn off a lot of the lights at night but that "i love ukraine" sign is still very much on. obviously saying that this city still stands strong and still is not going to give in to that invasion force that is still very much at the doors of this city, even as the ukrainians say they are pushing them back. so right now, what you can feel here and it's quite important is that you can feel the folks here in the city, the people who are still here. many of them, of course, fled. they feel they have a little more room to breathe right now because right now their forces are on the offensive, even though they understand it's fragile and still very much a dangerous situation, don. >> that sign representing the resolve of the ukrainian people there. definitely resolute. they do not want russia and vladimir putin to take over their country. thank you, fred. thank you, phil. we'll check back with you later. that's
