zelenskyy look. we found the original video in this man's tiktok account. we will zoom in a little bit. he has over 56,000 followers on tiktok. you can see his feed is mainly composed of a parody of videos of zelenskyy, mainly parody videos of his speeches, and if we scroll down more, you can see the infamous rocket lost -- rocket launch dance video with 188,000 views, so let's take a look at the original video once again, just to compare, where you can see that the quality of the video is immediately better, where we can confirm that this indeed right here is a zelenskyy look-alike, played by this comedy actor. mark: tell us more about this parody actor. >> he has made a career out of imitating president zelenskyy. here we have a comparison photo of both, and cannot deny the resemblance is uncanny. he is a regular in russian tv shows. notably this one on the right here. we can take a look at it closer, posted on the russian version of youtube. you can see the show that is known for broadcasting paro

e comment from president zelenskyy not surprising. he has warned of the dangers of this spilling over. some of the comments from the baltics, the latvian defense certain particular, was incendiary, but if you look at what he said, he did not accuse russia of deliberately targeting poland. the polish government, it has to be said, it seems to have responded cautiously. there this emergency meeting going on no polish official to my knowledge has said anything of any consequence so far. this is not a government in warsaw that is a fan of russia to point the finger at russia might be an easy instinct, but it has not done that so hard. everybody is acutely conscious of the need not to jump to any immediate conclusions. those conclusions could be dangerous. >> paul adams, thank you. in that vein, we had initial reaction from nato, who were asked aut these developments, or at least these unconfirmed reports from poland. a nato official has told the bbc that nato is looking into these reports and closely coordinating with poland. that reactio

zelenskyy said kherson is ours. ukrainian soldiers were welcomed by jubilant crowds in the city center. residents waived the national flag and embraced troops in the mainquare, chanting glory to ukraine. our international editor is in odessa following the situation as more ukrainian troops can now approach kherson. >> i think they'll be moving up steadily. they are in the city already but they are being cautious. they say, first of all, there uld be booby-traps, mines. now the russians across the river into their new fortifications. they are still only a couple miles away, well within artillery range. there have been concerns raised by the spokespeople for the southern command the ukrainian forces, saying they are preparing for a big bombardment into the city from the russian-controlled side. they will not want to expose too many of their troops, civilians to that. kherson's residence emerged from their homes as the first ukrainian soldiers reached the main square. for them, it is more than eight months under occupa

slava ukraine. >> president zelenskyy, thank you very much. [applause] you have given a very eloquent defense of ukraine's position and of your future possibilities. 10 weekly are one thing up at the beginning? the rocket that landed in poland, you know that poland, the united states and others are saying this appears to be one of your defensive rockets. it is clear, no one blames you for this, you were trying to shoot down russian missiles as they came in. you have insisted that the rocket that had poland was fired by russia. i wonder if you still stand by that. >> thank you for this question. first of all, everyone has to understand there were about 100 missiles launched on that day. i am grateful for the world for the support of ukraine with air defense and antimissile defense but nevertheless you can see what are the consequences of the russian war. this is not the first time that a piece of missile of russia falls down on the territory of another country. sometime time ago, the same thing happened, the pieces of the russian missiles fell

i actually hope that zelenskyy is a fan of sean penn's movies. because we don't know what else happened there. might've gotten really awkward. sean penn is like, "here, i want you to have my best actor oscar for "milk." "yes, yes, one of my favorite film. i remember watching it and thinking, "wow, that's a lot of milk. no way you can drink all that milk." powerful story." now if we had more time, we could talk about the other major development in the war, which is that russia was just forced into another embarrassing retreat from a major ukrainian city, probably because they heard ukraine has a sean penn's oscar now. but we don't have time for that, because right now the one thing being mismanaged worse than putin's war is elon musk's website. >> twitter has officially debuted its verified blue checkmarks, and the future is causing a lot of confusion. subscribers who play the $8 monthly fee are now entitled to additional perks, namely the blue check mark, previously reserved for verified accounts. the problem is, some of those users are using the

vladimir zelenskyy says russia could be making a strategic move to regroup forces and still expects a battle for her son. here's what he told cnn's christiane amanpour in an exclusive interview. >> so, they're ready to defend this, region and they are not ready to leave this city. the fact that they are in these homes means that they are seriously preparing. but, we are also seriously prepared for these developments. but, we are not considering this as just one single operation we have a strategy, and different directions. and you can see kristen amanpour's full exclusive interview with is orlanski on her program on thursday at six in london, 8 pm in kyiv right here on cnn. now, some abdelaziz joins me live from kyiv with the latest, and, salma, in kherson again, we see -- wary of being lured into a trap. >> absolutely, kim, but a stunning admission of defeat here from moscow in this very orchestrated press conference yesterday. we saw russia's defense minister standing alongside the top general for this so-called special military operation sergei saying that in order to save the live

brent: ukrainian president zelenskyy said today that there cannot be any territorial concessions on the part of ukraine, when we are talking about possible peace deals. do you think this stance, is it supported by the g20, or is there the impression that maybe the international community would gladly accept some type of -- the fact that russia gets to keep some territory? >> as we've discussed with the draft declaration, it's very difficult to talk of the g20 as a monolith. there are countries i think he would be happy to accept frozen conflict or some territorial concessions. however, it is not their territory to concede. i think it's not just zelenskyy's position, between 80%-90% of ukrainians are ainst any form of territorial concessions. slightly less in the east but still incredibly high, a strong majority. i think we would see the sort of infrared action -- insurrection style fighting we saw in iraq against u.s. forces, if not more. brent: you said the g20 is maybe not the right place for these type of conflicts to even maybe be addressed. what we have seen at the g20, before the

ukrainian president zelenskyy denied the missile came from ukraine's defenses. even as president biden says the evidence indicates otherwise. still, both u.s. and polish officials accused russia of being ultimately responsible for the incident after launching a barrage of missiles on ukraine in the first place. joining us now, our correspondent molly hunter and ben hodges who served as commanding general for the u.s. army europe. he is now a senior adviser with human rights first. molly, what are officials in kyiv saying about the fallout from that explosion in poland? >> yeah. i want to be clear about the time line. it actually does appear that ukrainian officials seem to be climbing back just slightly. so that explosion happened on tuesday afternoon. and president zelenskyy at his foreign minister and other senior officials were very quick out of the gate to say this was a russian missile. president zelenskyy was adamant even after the evidence and statements from the polish leadership, even from secretary of defense lloyd austin saying they have full confiden

what does president zelenskyy have to gain by challenging what nato has said? >> we must understand. nobody wants it. we must be prepared for the next provocation from russia. >> have you received any indication from nato that that type of investigation is going to happen and that ukraine will be a part of that? >> we need to understand state-by-state how it can happen and what to do in the future for accidents like this one. i think poland and ukraine need a better defense. >> what about access to the site where this missile impacted? had you officials had access to it? would they be granted access? access to the site where the missile actually hit the ground? ukrainian officials, it is in poland. where they allow you to come in? >> i read a lot of ukrainian publics and i did not find information about it. >> are, we will be following that. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. the missile blast in poland has also sparked concern at the g20 summit in indonesia. the leaders gathered their urging a thorough investigation. both members strongly conde

so zelenskyy needs to reach out. he needs to gain the public international approval of looking like a peace seeker, and he knows that putin cannot and will not give an inch. his political and perhaps physical survival depends upon not just seizing, you know, the don bas, but on seizing ukraine and reincorporating it into mother russia, so zelenskyy needs to reach out in public and saying we're peace seekers and continue savage assaults on a crumbling russian armed forces. >> and i don't want to diminish what happened here, two innocent people were killed in this errant missile strike. having said that, experts telling nbc news that the spillover of the war into poland, of course, a nay nato member, could spur kyiv's backers to provide improved air defense and more ground attack systems, i mean if this war is indeed going into winter and february looks like it is a key time for the ukrainian military. what should they be looking at? what should they be getting for the ukrainians as this moves forward? >> well, first o

this is a good time for zelenskyy to talk. i think he was doing that at his call to the g20 saying now is the time for the war to end. the problem is putin's political and possibly physical survival won't allow him to give up. the objective wasn't just the border regions. it was the entire area of ukraine. he is not going to back off that. the question is in russia, the political isolation, is it going to force the elites to say, we have had enough? so far, that's not likely. >> barry mccaffrey, thank you so much. >> good to be with you. >>> big spenders. the bills racked up by several international players at trump's d.c. hotel during his presidency. were they attempting to sway u.s. policy? that's next. stay with us on "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. reports" on m. r one for both rivers and oceans by travel and leisure, as well as condé nast traveler. but it is now time for us to work even harder, searching for meaningful experiences and new adventures for you to embark upon. they say when you reach the top, there's onl

this is what president zelenskyy is saying today. >> this is the beginning of the end of the war. we see our strong army. we are step-by-step coming to our country, to the occupied territories. ros: but mr. zielinski says there is a long and difficult path ahead for ukraine. that's where he was visiting his across the river from where russian troops have consolidated following the retreat, and the red areas marked on the map. there are fears that some russian soldiers may have remained behind in disguise. >> remember that russian troops are not too far from the city square. they retreated to the eastern bank of the dnipro river. they can still fire artillery shells into the city where mr. zielinski's- mr. zielinski was. he said it was important to stand with the people of kherson , show their support. they had been under russian occupation for more than eight months. ros: when ukrainian forces entered kherson saturday, this is how they were greeted. people cheering, singing songs, taking selfies. those celebrations continue through the weekend particularly in the ctral square. her

president zelenskyy confirms the earlier numbers. he said there were 90 russian missiles that targeted two residential buildings then goes on, and this is the first statement we have about this incident. he says terror is not limbed to our national borders. russian missiles hit poland. he says to fire missiles at nato territory, this is a russian missile attack on collective security. we must act. now, in this short statement from president zelenskyy, he puts out statement around this time every night, there's no additional proof about what specific missiles about what the target might have been. we know the rest of the country was heavily targeted. lviv has been spared from a lot. 80% of that city though is out of electricity because there are power stations, energy stations around that western city that were targeted by russian missiles today. >> molly hunter, thank you. i want to go before i get to you, monica, to you, admiral. you understand what a moment like this means and its significance. help us understand what might be happ

zelenskyy in his speech today talk about nato perfectly. we expect air defense missile systems to be arriving in ukraine very soon. mark: thank you for that analysis of the situation. we will get more -- we will getting more breaking news from the polish border after two russian missiles striking a village in that part of poland. this all follows a day of multiple missile strikes by the russians in ukraine. the k a for instance was hit -- the capitol kyiv for instance was hit. our correspondent saying other areas were also in the firing line. meanwhile several southern homes are also without power after the strike this tuesday. 15 energy facilities across the country are damaged. elsewhere, there are fears for a key hydroelectric dam on the river. russia captured it earlier in the invasion. anything happening to that dam could prove devastating. the strike by russia is seen as a direct reaction to ukraine's recapture of the city of pierce on -- of hair son -- of kherson. ukraine's president spoke to the g 20 summit, refusing to acknowledge

kelly, the timeline is that zelenskyy gives a speech. we see a reaction almost immediately from russia. this 100 missiles or somewhere in that neighborhood being launched at ukraine. already what we have seen from the g-19 who are there because putin is not there. was a growing frustration. impatience. i'll let you kparktize it, but it's clear that the members of the g-20 who are there were looking for what is the next step with ukraine. they're obviously concerned about inflation worries. about the cost of fuel. the cost of food. food insecurity. give us the context against which all of this is happening now. >> having these leaders come together in bali and ukraine's involvement for months now, the weariness all of these world leaders have about the many human costs of this war is clearly present here. the foreign minister of russia has been here at the g- 20 so russia is represented and that adds to put it in an understatement, an awkward and difficult factor to have russia represented here at a time when so many of the other nations

. >> reporter: now zelenskyy spoke a day after he traveled to the southern ukrainian city of kherson which the russian military occupied for months and then surrendered last week making a humiliating withdrawal leaving the scenes of ukrainian residents dancing in the central square of that city when it was liberated. he compared the russian surrender of kherson to the d day invasion of normandy during world war ii. he is also saying that in his proposed peace plan, russia withdraw and surrender and then you have a plan towards peace. now the u.s. -- the u.s. president joe biden, he has come from the asean summit in cambodia where he's gotten statements, for example, from the japanese and korean leaders denouncing the russian invasion. you have european heads of state here, the canadian prime minister, the eu president. they have been outspoken condemning russia's invasion of ukraine but it's going to be -- we'll have to wait and see what other countries that are members of the g20 whether they'll sign on to criticize russia. some have been much more hesitant though the indonesian pre

zelenskyy saying his assessment came from a briefing by his top commanders. the ukrainian president requesting his officials join the investigation. we traveled close to where the missile landed. the polish security services have closed off a large area up this road to the site of the blast. the polish military are here in numbers. it tells you how sensitive the investigation is. here, fragments of the missile, according to local residents. but regardless of who fired it, the pentagon and nato saying russia is ultimately responsible, because ukrainian air defense was responding, after the kremlin unleashed up to 100 missiles yesterday, the largest barrage in a single day since the war began. one ukrainian air defense missile possibly missing its target and crashing down inside the polish border, in turn, spreading alarm through the nato alliance. with president biden calling an emergency roundtable of world leaders at the g-20 summit in bali, but later acknowledging it was unlikely russia fired the missile. >> we're going to make sure we figure out exactly wh

president zelenskyy has called this a day of celebration. people in the city are already taking down the symbols of the russian occupation and it is not just kherson. the celebrations have come all the way here to kyiv, the capital two to my on square, in the city of the -- center of the city, celebrating what they see as such a huge victory and such a moment of hope. >> [chanting] >> a night of celebration in the heart of kyiv. this is might on square -- made am square -- maidan square. kherson is ukraine written in blue and red. -- blue and yellow, the colors of the ukrainian flag. celebrating what president zelenskyy has describeds an historic day. russian forces have retreated from the first regional path, the only regional path to fall into its hands. the war isn't over, but this is a significant victory and a significant reversal for russia. [chantin [singing] lyse: it is not surprising that you have seen those scenes of celebration. this is a country where people are suffering, and the suffering just seems to be -- there such a concer

they wanted to overthrow president zelenskyy and his government. they wanted to secure access to the black sea. they wanted to capture odesa. they wanted to seize to the dnipro river, pause, and continue to attack to the carpathen mountains. in short they wanted to overrun all of ukraine and they lost. they didn't achieve those objectives. he they failed to achieve their strategic objectives and now failing to achieve their operational an tactical objectives. russia changed their war aims in march and in the beginning of april. their war of choice then focused on the seizure of the donbas, donestk. that was their operational objectives and they failed there. then they changed again and expanded to seize zaporizhzhia and kherson. these strategic reframing of their objectives, of their illegal invasion have all failed, every single one of them. we've witnessed last week russia's retreat from kherson. they retreated across the dnipro river, moved to more defensible positions south of the river, their losses due to ukrainian success and skill and brave

ukraine's president zelenskyy blaming russia, but the kremlin denies it was theirs. the blast killing at least two people. the pentagon saying the u.s. is investigating. >> we have no information at this time to corroborate those reports, but again are taking them seriously. >> reporter: president biden has been briefed on the reports out of poland, speaking with polish president andrzej duda late today. biden has said repeatedly, the u.s. will defend all nato territory. >> the united states and our allies will defend every inch of territory that is nato territory with the full force of our collective power. every single inch. >> reporter: the news out of poland coming hours after russia launched 90 missiles at ukraine. the biggest barrage since the start of the war. knocking out power to 10 million customers. 80% of lviv in the west and half of the capital kyiv plunged into darkness. zelenskyy defiant in the face of the russian blitz, addressing his people, saying, "we will survive everything", shaking his fist. ukraine claiming russia's devastating attacks were a d

president zelenskyy has been speaking to ukrainian media. he said i have no doubt it was not our missile. >> russian missiles hit the territory of neighboring poland yesterday. rick must be a quick -- there must be a quick reaction. this attack is from the -- from russia and the g 20 summit. when i say is g 19, i am not wrong. >> here is in the u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin. >> we are going to stay in close touch with our polish counterparts, as well as with our nato allies and other valued partners. we are still gathering information, that we ha seen nothinthat contradicts president duda's luminary assessment that this explosion was most likely the result of a ukrainian air defense missile that unfortunately landed in poland. >> earlier, i spoke to the warsaw office director at the german marshall fund think tank. >> it took place in the afternoon around 3:40 p.m. we did not know until late in th night about the exact cause of what happened on the ground. it was this morning also where the initial assessment was shared that it is almo

did he manage to reassure zelenskyy of the uk's support? >> reporter: yeah, surely officials in kyiv were concerned given the political turmoil in this country, the fact nthat th uk has had three prime ministers in two months with boris johnson, liz truss and now rishi sunak. boris johnson was one of the biggest backers of ukraine, in fact, the uk provides the second most military assistance, financial assistance to the country, second only to the united states. so boris johnson was extremely popular in kyiv. clearly, rishi sunak's visit was an attempt to try to allay some of the fears and make sure that zelenskyy knows that sunak is planning to continue what the uk has already started. it pledged $2.7 billion this year alone, it's pledging to spend at least the same next year assuming that the war actually continues. air defense is something in particular that the ukrainians have been asking for. so $60 million in air defense spending is what rishi sunak came pledging, that includes 125 anti-aircraft guns, radars and other technologies to

zelenskyy pledging peace on ukraine, not russia's terms. and vowing to reconnect kherson's residents to the rest of the country. today's flags a much needed temporary cell phone tower reconnecting residents to loved ones cut off since the retreating russians destroyed the phone and internet services. and a truck full of humanitarian aid. the first to arrive since liberation 72 hours ago. candles, bread and water, handed out to eager residents who have been without electricity and water since the russian retreat. >> how much is this needed here? >> desperately. i was thinking about people what is lacking and what they have and what they've lost and basically it is work and shops are crazy expensive -- >> reporter: in the city's neighbors, poorly stocked street markets hint at how much more help is needed. some goods like drinking water nearly impossible to find. what help do you need from the government now here? >> electricity. water. and very cold. >> reporter: within hours of zelenskyy's visit they destroyed a house in the north of the ci

they wanted to overthrow president zelenskyy and his government, they wanted to secure access to the black sea, they wanted to capture odesa, seize to the river, pause, and then continue to attack all the way to the carpathian mountains. in short, overrun all of ukraine and they lost. they didn't achieve those objectives. they failed to achieve their strategic objectives and they are now failing to achieve their operational and tactical objectives. russia changed their war aims in march and beginning of april. their war of choice then focused on the seizure of the donbas, the donetsk and luhansk, their operational objectives and they failed there. then they changed again and expanded to seize other areas. reframing of their objectives have all failed, all of them, and witnessed last week russia's retreat from kherson. they retreated across the river, they moved to more defensible positions south of the river, and it's clear that the russian will to fight does not match the ukrainian will to fight. on the battlefield ukrainian defense in kharkiv is success where they crossed the river

president volodymyr zelenskyy is insisting ukraine did not fire the missile that crossed into poland tuesday accidentally or otherwise. the u.s. and others are standing by the assessment that it was a defensive measure launched by ukraine deeming it an unfortunate accident. president biden had this to say earlier this morning. >> what's your recollection to president zelenskyy saying the missiles that landed in poland were not ukrainian? >> that's not the evidence. >> so though the u.s./nato both agree russia is to blame for the incident overall, as russian forces continue launching a barrage of missiles strikes. joining us right now is molly hunter, and former adviser to ukrainian president zelenskyy, igor novikov. >> molly, let me start with you. talk to us about where we stand with this difference between what we're hearing from the ukrainian president along with president biden as well and what intelligence is telling us there on the ground and really what is happening with the barrage of missiles continuing from russia. >> yeah, yasmin, look, i think big picture, you hear the am

zelenskyy they relationship. zelenskyy they were portions in shape, were making portions in shape, croissants or something in ukraine a few months ago. so it'll be a big relief that rishi soon because there making all the noises , sending out the right noises, sending out the right noises, sending out the right noises, sending out the right signals . the issue is, the right signals. the issue is, is that to be matched with spending because of course, ben wallace said that he wouldn't serve any government in less defence lending was raised and jeremy hunt so far hasn't yet committees that he sort of fudged it. he he's going to do a full review of defence spending and see that gets him. but yes, warm words . rishi sunak a show warm words. rishi sunak a show of solidarity which will definitely come as a relief to those who are worried about anyone who's worried about the situation in ukraine and wants britain's, wants britain to be at the forefront this defence. but will it be matched with the spending commitments?

and tonight, what president zelenskyy is now suggesting when it comes to talks with vladimir putin. >>> here at home, the high school shooting in seattle. what authorities have now revealed. >>> also the search at this hour. one person killed, three rescued. reports of others swept away in flooding. >>> and at the end tonight, the powerball mystery. what happened last night? we do have a word of a winner now. and the store owner we've also learned who won big. what he was given today. >>> and good evening tonight from abc news election headquarters here in new york city. this room will be full just moments from now. election day in america, in a country deeply divided. the final votes are being cast in the crucial midterm elections. one of the most consequential u.s. elections in history. the first exit polls just coming in. the issues driving voters. voter interest very high this year. 45 million americans casting their ballots early. in person or by mail, setting a record. authorities tonight say more than in any midterm election. that also means the ballots could take some time to

president zelenskyy will be speaking on thursday at 4:00 p.m. on the back of his rousing g20, or g 19 speech, as he put it. shery: we are also getting jake sullivan today, the u.s. national security adviser joining us not only to discuss what is happening around ukraine but also the u.s.-china first in person summit between presidents biden and xi jinping. we will be dissecting what this means for the global geopolitical landscape. this at a time when really domestic politics are heating up as well. donald trump pushing ahead with plans for a third white house run, even as a number of republicans abandon him over the gop showing -- the abysmal gop showing in the midterm elections. haidi: this will be staggering for people. we did wonder whether the gop would choose to go in a different position. as shery said, the candidates he backed in the midterm did not do very well. jody: that is right. donald trump did say several weeks ago he would have a very big announcement. he had has not yet said what it was, but we are expecting it will be his third

volodymyr zelenskyy tweeting that the aggressor will pay. the head of the cia met with his russian counterpart today. during the meeting today, they did not discuss aettlemen for the wharton ukraine but it did warn -- but war in ukraine, but there will were warnings about consequences. this is the highest level meeting between the u.s. and russia since the war started. u.s. -- u.k. and eu ministers slap new sanctions on iran. the efoign minister says it sends a clear message and the french president said the crackdown would make it harder to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement with the country. britain and france have signed an agreement this monday that aims to prevent illegal migrant crossings of the english channel. london will pay pis to boost security. the deal will see a 40% rise in the number of security officers patrolling beaches in northern france. democrats in the united states are taking a victory lap after retaining control of the senate. a win next month and georgia will give them an outright majority. republicans are introspecti

ukraine and president zelenskyy have not acknowledged it was there missile. geoff: what does his reluctance to acknowledge, what does the international response suggest to you about the geopolitical landscape right now in month 10 of this war? greg: what's notable about this is ukraine and its western backers have pretty much been on the same page. they had a few little quibbles. it is unusual for them not to be in agreement. that is what is significant. quite frankly i think among the western countries there is a real sense of relief that it was a ukrainian missile rather than a russian missile. if it were a russian missile you would have all sorts of issues. a strike in a nato country, was it accidental? how do you respond? in terms of the geopolitics, it is much easier to say this is an understandable accident. let's move on, let's not get involved in some big confrontation with russia in addition to all of the issues in front of us right now. geoff: russia is targeting civilian infrastructure from bridges and roads, to the electrical grid. that strikes me

zelenskyy's visit perhaps the closest to the front line since the war began. awe cranian troops pushing that front line further back. we've heard more shelling overnight. indications they are taking some territory on the other side of the river hoping to keep the russians falling back. in the city the atmosphere is becoming more relaxed by the day. more and more people coming out. the cell phone tower, that's operational. the signal getting even stronger. there's a big magnet for people as well. i have to say kherson really feels now it's getting back up and running minus water, minus security, minus electricity, minus proper food supplies but the city is coming back. >> amazing what they've gone through and now to rebuild. >>> quick hits around the globe. the first death sentence linked to recent protests. unnamed demonstrator convicted of enmity against god. >>> russia banned another 100 americans for speaking out against ukraine. jim carey can no longer enter russia. >>> there is a rainbow themed team logo. same-sex relationships are illegal in qatar which

zelenskyy at odds with nato about who fired the missiles. this incident has shaken ukraine's neighboring countries. nato does not want this war to spill over into nato territory, it's been clear about that from the get-go, and it wants to avoid any direct confrontation with russia. could we see european allies of ukraine push for a settlement? >> some of the european allies are more likely to push for territorial concession. that's one of the reasons that putin is probably waiting. he thinks after they've had a good hard winter, either this one or if he can hold out that long, next one, they will push in that direction. as for the missile strike inside poland, there's no evidence i've seen so far that suggests that missile tracked in from russian territory. it was a russian make, but it appeared to be a ukrainian antiaircraft missile that went awry. one of the indications that this was in fact not a full-on russian attack is there was only a single missile. you would have expected multiple ones had it been a real attack on a nato country. an

on monday, they were joined by volodymyr zelenskyy. >> this war. reporter: he received a hero's welcome. >> he showed ukraine has been victorious and a fearless leader. their total range across the river. reporter: the arrival brought admiration. >> i want the whole world to understand the whole world has seen every human being is free. >> i want to cry from happiness. we have been waiting for this day for a long time. we're with ukraine. reporter: he is is russian forces of human rights abuses. mobile communication hubs have been set up to communicate with loved ones. >> i know many girls who have been molested by the russians. they have been taken to basements or crimea. >> menu know what freedom is, when you meet your liberators, it's unbelievable. reporter: it is the granting flag. the russians are not far away. anchor: funerals have been held in a stumble for some victims of the bombing. the explosion killed six people and injured dozens. we report from a stumble. reporter: a mother prepares to bury her daughter. they were among the victims. >

what drives zelenskyy to negotiations? he gets a point where he can't take territory anymore, doesn't have enough power. the russians have reinforced those territories to the point where his casualties are too high to retake the territory and would likely be willing to negotiate. we are not at the point, pushing toward the point. stuart: general jack keane, thank you very much as always. greg abbott, governor of texas declared an invasion at the southern border. ashley, what does this change? ashley: it means texas is raising the ante in response to the invasion, governor abbott says the declaration, the us and texas constitutions, this is what it allows for. a number of steps including deployment of the national guard, deployment of the texas department of public safety to arrest and return immigrants to the border who crossed illegally, bill the border wall in multiple counties, deploy gunboats and designate mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. according to u.s. customs and border protection, for the

that's why president zelenskyy was at the u.n. security council accusing russia again of crimes against its people. >> translator: energy terrorism is comparable to the use of weapons of mass destruction. when we have the temperature below zero and scores of millions of people without energy supplies, without heating, without water, this is an obvious crime against humanity. >> reporter: now repairs were going on all through the night. some of those services have been destroyed. >> amazing, isn't it. >> amazing and these workers have to work 24 hours in the cold with little lighting, in the darkness. remember, this infrastructure now, it's so precarious. it's so weak. it's sustained weeks of attacks. it is ever more difficult to repair every time. that's why president zelenskyy is saying bring me generators and transmitters. it's about infrastructure support for ukraine as they bolster themselves. >> selma, thank you. also fred in moscow. >>> there are no changes yet in the deadly backpack explosion in jerusalem. authorities say t

it wasn't joe biden, it wasn't president zelenskyy, it was boris johnson. and so the ukrainians likely relieved that rishi sunak seems to be indicating that he is there to support ukraine as well especially given the fact that just a few days ago his government announced a series of tax hikes, a series of spending cuts to try to fill a hole of some $65 billion in the uk's public finances, but this was the message that rishi sunak was bringing to kyiv, listen. >> and i'm here today to say that the united kingdom will continue to stand with you. we will stand with you until ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserves, and then we will stand with you as you rebuild your great country. >> so when rishi sunak left kyiv he hugged zelenskyy and you could actually hear on the pool camera him say that he would follow up with him with a phone call about some of the things that they discussed. zelenskyy also said in his nightly address that he and sunak had agreed on some necessary decisions though neither man said precisely what those decisions were.

. >>> president zelenskyy made an unannounced visit to the liberated city of kherson. why he is calling russia's retreat there the beginning of the end of the ukraine war. >>> but first, the election deniers who were defeated at the ballot box, what went wrong with the plan by trump allies to take control of election offices in key battleground states? we'll be right back. right back. ? will you make something better? create something new? our dell technologies advisors can provide you with the tools and expertise you need to bring out the innovator in you.

they wanted to overthrow perez zelenskyy and his government. they wanted to secure access to the black sea. they want to capture odesa. they want to seize all the way to the dnipro river, pause, and then continue to attack all the way to the car pagt yan mountains. in short, they wanted to overrun all of ukraine. and they lost. they didn't achieve those objectives. they failed to achieve their strategic objectives, and they are now failing to achieve their operational and tactical objectives. russia changed their war aims in march and beginning of april. their war of choice then focused on the seizure of the donbas, donetsk, and luhansk. that was their operational objectives, and they failed there. then they changed again and expanded to seize zaporizhzhia and kherson. the strategic reframing of their objectives, of the illegal invasion, have all failed. every single one of them. and we have just witnessed last week russia's retreat from kherson. they retreated across the dnipro river. they moved to more defensible positions south of the river.

zelenskyy's denial feed it when it clears every it was a ukraine missile. jackie: you have spent a lot of time on the ground there. you can tell us, the longer this goes, it takes a tremendous toll on the ukrainians to fight this war. they are very invested in it, nobody planned for it to go this long. and now we're heading to coldest months of the year, winter months. energy issues will be a problem. theres has been so much ground destruction. where do we go? some people suggested there has to be some sort of dialogue that brings both sides to a middle ground. >> i think at a some point there has to be dialogue, both sides are not ready to have a diplomatic solution. ukraine will get worse, every time i'm in there, it is their energy infrastructure is being attacked and winter is coming. they are striking at heart of energy infrastructure of day, 45% of their energy had been taken out last i was in there, right now in kyiv, it is a blackout. each new attack with the damage. i think it is at point we need to step up our aid without a doubt and provide them
