we've also spoken to, again, our contact at the interior ministry, an interior ministry official sayingare hundreds of casualties. now, we don't know how many of those people are dead, how many are injured or whether that figure is accurate. but we do know that the interior ministry of ukraine is putting the number of casualties so far in this nationwide assault, missile assault at this stage for the most part, in the hundreds. which is, i mean, incredibly alarming obviously if it's indeed accurate. but i can tell you we've heard about 18, 19 salvos of cruise missile attacks in just this city, in the capital kyiv, within the past hour or so since we've been talking to you here on cnn. and those attacks have been focused on it seems the air infrastructure here. there may have been other locations targeted as well. but definitely a couple airports have been targeted. we've seen images of boryspil airport, the main international airport that's been attacked. there would be surface-to-air stations there, military personnel stationed there. but then there's that vasilkiv air base about 20 mi

so it is believed that according to the interior ministry that this invasion has begun. the president of the united states, joe biden, releasing a statement blasting russia and president vladimir putin saying it was an unprovoked and unnecessary invasion. we're also getting reports from cnn teams who are all over ukraine and also russia and they're hearing these explosions. if they are close to the border they're hearing these explosions coming from the ukrainian side of the border. so that is where we are right now. we'll continue our reporting with matthew chance, who is getting the very latest information. matthew, back to you now. matthew. on -- matthew, who is on the terrace and getting information from his producers. matthew, what do you have? >> air to ground targeting. >> okay. i got it. don, are you hearing me all right? >> stand by, matthew. i want to get to the russian ambassador speaking at the u.n. we'll get back to matthew. let's listen. >> okay. fine. >> translator: focused on weakening russia and promoting the bloc from nato. but these people are women, c
