YOU'LL YOU'RE STREAMING "ABC NEWS LIVE" AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I'M KYRA PHILLIPS TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE, DONALD TRUMP FACING A POSSIBLE INDICTMENT. THE GRAND JURY IN THE STORMY DANIELS HUSH MONEY INVESTIGATION WEIGHING POTENTIAL CHARGES. THE LATEST FROM NEW YORK AND THE MAJOR NEW DECISION IN THAT SEPARATE CASE INVOLVING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AT MAR-A-LAGO IS SHOCKING. ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS IN UKRAINE, INCLUDING A MISSILE SLAMMING INTO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THOSE STRIKES JUST ONE DAY AFTER CHINA'S PRESIDENT MET WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IN MOSCOW AND MEMBERS, ONLY CLUBS POPPING UP IN CITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. NOW, TWO BROTHERS FOLLOWING SUIT WITH AN EMPOWERING TWIST. WE'LL TAKE YOU INSIDE HQ, D.C. HOUSE. BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INVESTIGATION SURROUNDING FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. FIRST IN NEW YORK . SOURCES TELLING US THAT A GRAND JURY IS NOT MEETING TODAY AS IT CONSIDERS POTENTIAL CHARGES AGAINST TRUMP IN THE STORMY DANIELS HUSH MONEY INVESTIGATION. WELL, THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PAYING THE STAR ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND ,BUT HE SAYS HE DID NOTHING WRONG. PROSECUTORS SEE IT DIFFERENTLY AND ARE LOOKING INTO WHETHER HE POTENTIALLY VIOLATED ELECTION LAWS AND FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS WHILE TRYING TO CONCEAL THE MATTER. ALL OF THIS IS COMING AS WE LEARN OF A MAJOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THAT SEPARATE SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION INTO THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AT HIS MAR-A-LAGO ESTATE. SOURCES TELLING US THAT A TOP FEDERAL JUDGE HAS RULED PROSECUTORS HAVE PRESENTED PRETTY COMPELLING PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE THAT TRUMP KNOWINGLY AND DELIBERATELY MISLED HIS OWN LAWYERS IN THAT CASE. TRUMP HAS REPEATEDLY DENIED MISHANDLING DOCUMENTS, AND THE MOVE COULD HAVE HUGE IMPLICATIONS FOR HIS DEFENSE. >> A LOT TO TALK ABOUT HERE AND PUT INTO CONTEXT ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AARON KATERSKY THERE IN LOWER MANHATTAN. ALSO OUR SENIOR REPORTER, KATHERINE FAULDERS IS HERE IN THE BUREAU IN D.C. AARON, STARTING WITH THIS HUSH MONEY INVESTIGATION EARLIER, WE BELIEVE THE GRAND JURY MIGHT ACTUALLY RECONVENE TODAY. YOU HAVE FOUND OUT IT WON'T EXPLAIN. THE GRAND JURORS WERE CALLED THIS MORNING AND TOLD THEY DID NOT NEED TO REPORT FOR DUTY TODAY AS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED. THEY WERE EXPECTED TO CONVENE JUST ABOUT NOW SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON TO RESUME THEIR EXAMINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ROLE IN THE ACCOUNTING OF THE 130000 HUSH PAYMENTS. STORMY DANIELS ON THE BRINK OF THE 2016 ELECTION. THEY WERE CALLED AND TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE NEEDED TODAY, AS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED. NO REASON WAS GIVEN. BUT THE GRAND JURORS WERE TOLD TO BE PREPARED TO COME BACK TOMORROW, AT WHICH TIME THEY MAY WELL HEAR FROM AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL WITNESS. IT'S STILL BELIEVED HERE THAT THIS IS NEARER A DECISION ON POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CHARGES THAN NOT. BUT IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THE GRAND JURORS WANT TO HEAR FROM FROM THIS OTHER WITNESS, AT LEAST ONE , BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY ANY VOTE ON WHETHER TO INDICT. >> GOT IT THERE. AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL CHARGES THAT THE PRESIDENT COULD FACE IF THE GRAND JURY DOES DECIDE TO INDICT HIM? >> YEAH, PROSECUTOR IS HAVE HOMED IN ON WHETHER TRUMP FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN THE WAY HE ACCOUNTED FOR THE HUSH PAYMENT. ACCORDING TO MICHAEL COHEN, WHO WROTE THE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK WHEN TRUMP REIMBURSED HIM IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS, HE LOGGED THOSE EXPENSES AS LEGAL EXPENSES, LEGAL MATTERS AND PROSECUTORS MAY COME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PAYMENTS WERE MORE TO PROP UP HIS HIS ELECTION AND NOT DO ANYTHING TO DAMAGE HIS CHANCES OF BECOMING PRESIDENT IN 2016. AND IN THAT WAY, HE MAY HAVE FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS. THAT'S A MISDEMEANOR IN NEW YORK . ORDINARILY, IT CAN BE BUMPED UP TO A FELONY IF THE RECORDS WERE FALSIFIED IN FURTHERANCE OF ANOTHER CRIME, THAT COULD BE A FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATION. IT COULD BE SOME VIOLATION OF STATE ELECTION LAW. PROSECUTORS HAVEN'T TIP THEIR HAND WHICH WAY THEY MIGHT GO , BUT EITHER WAY, IT WOULD REPRESENT SOMETHING OF A NOVEL LEGAL THEORY THAT'S NEVER BEEN TESTED IN A STATE COURT BEFORE. >> NOW, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INVESTIGATION THE FORMER PRESIDENTS TANGLED IN, CATHERINE . THERE'S THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS INVESTIGATION AS WELL. WHETHER IT'S WHAT ARE THE DEVELOPMENTS YOU'RE LEARNING ABOUT IN THAT PROBE? >> YES, SO WE'RE LEARNING REALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT PROSECUTORS INVESTIGATING THIS ARE REALLY PUTTING TRUMP RIGHT AT THE CENTER OF WHAT THEY'RE CALLING A QUOTE, QUOTE, CRIMINAL SCHEME. NOW, WE'RE LEARNING THIS THROUGH SOURCES, BUT IT WAS DETAILED IN A RULING BY A FEDERAL JUDGE, BERYL HOWELL, WHO WAS LISTENING THE ARGUMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES ABOUT WHY A TRUMP LAWYER, EVAN CORCORAN, SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY UNDER ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE. WELL, SHE RULED AGAINST THAT. SO NOW THE TRUMP TEAM IS APPEALING THAT IN THE CIRCUIT COURT STILL NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION. BUT THIS IS HUGELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE HEARING THAT PROSECUTORS BELIEVE, DIRECTLY BELIEVE THAT TRUMP INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY MISLED HIS OWN LAWYERS TO THEN DECEIVE THE GOVERNMENT. SO A LOT TO BREAK DOWN HERE. WE'RE EXPECTING A RULING FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT. AND THEN THAT MEANS THAT THEY COULD HEAR FROM TRUMP LAWYER EVAN CORCORAN, WHO , OF COURSE, IS REPRESENTING TRUMP IN THE DOCUMENTS MATTER. THEY COULD HEAR FROM HIM VERY SOON. >> AND THERE'S MORE EVIDENCE BEING REQUESTED IN THIS CASE AS WELL. YEAH, WE'RE TOLD THROUGH OUR SOURCES THAT THE JUDGE ORDERED THAT HANDWRITTEN NOTES BE TURNED OVER, THE INVOICES BE TURNED OVER, THAT RECORDINGS OF AUDIO CONVERSATIONS, THAT TRANSCRIPTS, AUDIO CONVERSATIONS ALSO BE TURNED OVER. SO THERE IS A LOT EVIDENCE HERE THAT IT APPEARS THAT PROSECUTORS KNOW ABOUT AND THEY WANT FROM CORCORAN AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD PROVE THAT TRUMP IS AT THE CENTER OF THIS SO-CALLED CRIMINAL SCHEME, THAT THEY DETAIL. >> ALL RIGHT, ERIN, CATHERINE , THANKS SO MUCH. LET'S BRING IN NOW ATTORNEY AND FORMER CHIEF MINORITY COUNCIL OF 70% COMMITTEES ON INVESTIGATIONS, JEFF ROBBINS. HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING ALL THIS FOR US AS WELL. SO, JEFF, THE HUSH MONEY CASE, LET'S START THERE. THE GRAND JURY NOT MEETING TODAY. SO HOW DO PROCEEDINGS AND INVESTIGATIONS LIKE THIS NOW WORK AND GO FORWARD? AND HOW LONG COULD THIS GO BEFORE WE DO LEARN OF A DECISION? >> I MEAN, COULD THIS JUST BE STALLED FOR A WHILE? WELL, HERE, IT DOESN'T SEEM AS THOUGH THIS IS GOING TO BE STALLED FOR VERY MUCH LONGER. THE REASON FOR THE DELAY, THERE COULD BE SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. SCHEDULING ISSUES WITH THE GRAND JURORS, THE NEED TO PRESENT OR THE PERCEIVED NEED TO PRESENT A REBUTTAL TO MR COSTELLO COORDINATION WITH THE WITH THE COURT, WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, WITH DONALD TRUMP'S TEAM, THOSE COULD BE AMONG THE MANY REASONS FOR THIS SHORT DELAY. I'D EXPECT THAT IT'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A CERTAIN WHIPLASH THAT GETS IN FROM THE SWIVELED HEADS THAT WE ALL HAVE NOW TRIED TO KEEP TRACK OF THESE VARIOUS INVESTIGATIONS, ALL OF WHICH SEEM TO BE MARCHING FORWARD IN THE DIRECTION, IF NOT OF AN INDICTMENT, THEN OF AN INDICTMENT DECISION. AND THE REPORTING YOU'VE JUST HAD ABOUT THIS RULING BY THE DISTRICT COURT JUDGE IS A VERY, VERY BAD BLOW FOR THE TRUMP TEAM. >> SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE GRAND JURY IS WEIGHING WHETHER TRUMP BROKE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. RIGHT. BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY COMBINE STATE AND FEDERAL LAW HERE. AND IF INDEED HE IS FOUND GUILTY AND IN BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE A MORE SEVERE PUNISHMENT WOULD HAPPEN. RIGHT. AND SO IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS , IS PROSECUTORS ARE JUST LET'S GO FOR AS MUCH AS WE CAN, STATE AND FEDERAL, TO GET THE BIGGEST PUNISHMENT THAT WE CAN. WELL, APROPOS OF WHIPLASH, YES, THE BASIS FOR THIS APPARENT INDICTMENT IS THAT THERE WAS A FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS, WHICH IS A MISDEMEANOR UNDER STATE LAW, BUT IT BECOMES A FELONY IF THAT FALSE CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS, THE FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS IS INTENDED TO COMMIT ANOTHER CRIME, WHETHER IT'S A CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATION, OR IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED PERHAPS A TAX VIOLATION. AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, KYRA. THERE MAY BE AN UNTESTED COMBINATION IN THIS REGARD OF STATE LAW AND FEDERAL LAW AND THAT WILL NO DOUBT PROVIDE ONE OF THE LEGAL CHALLENGES THAT WE WILL SEE IF IN FACT, MR. TRUMP IS INDICTED. WELL, WHAT ABOUT LEGAL RESPONSE IF TRUMP WERE TO BE INDICTED? RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO INDICATION WHETHER THAT WILL EVEN HAPPEN. HOW DO YOU EXPECT HIS LEGAL TEAM TO RESPOND? >> WELL, THEY'LL RESPOND, FIRST OF ALL, WITH A CONTINUED WITHERING ASSAULT ON THE D.A. AND THAT HAS NOT JUST POLITICAL CONSEQUENCE IS , OF COURSE, BUT BUT LEGAL CONSEQUENCES POTENTIALLY, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, IF THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS TRIED, THE D.A. WILL HAVE THE BURDEN OF PROVING TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE JURORS BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. THAT THIS IS A VALID PROSECUTION AND THAT HE SHOULD, IN FACT, BE CONVICTED IN THIS CASE OF OF USING THIS FALSE CLASSIFICATION OF RECORDS TO EVADE THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. AND THAT MEANS POISONING, BUT NOT TO PUT TOO FINE A POINT ON IT. THE JURY POOL, BY MAKING AS MANY PEOPLE THINK AS POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM, THIS PROSECUTION. >> SO THE FACT THAT MICHAEL COHEN WENT DOWN FOR THIS HUSH MONEY INVESTIGATION, DO YOU THINK THERE'S A THINKING HERE THAT YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE DOWN HIS FIXER AND HIS LAWYER NOW THAT WE HAVE DONALD TRUMP HERE AND HE'S NO LONGER PRESIDENT ? IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT WE HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE NOW. >> WELL, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. HE WAS PROSECUTED BY THE TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND SENT TO JAIL IN PART FOR HIS ROLE IN THIS VERY HUSH MONEY PAYOFF AND THE FALSE CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS. SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THE THINKING IS EXACTLY AS YOU SAY. HOW CAN YOU JAIL ONE PART OF THE EQUATION AND LET THE OTHER PART OF THE EQUATION, THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY APPARENTLY DIRECTED THE CONDUCT ,DIRECTED THE CRIMINAL CONDUCT, GO SCOT FREE? THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THE PROSECUTION IS THINKING, I THINK. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE ALSO TRACKING ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, INVESTIGATION SOURCES TELLING US , AS YOU JUST HEARD, THAT THE JUDGE PRESIDING OVER THAT CASE BELIEVES THAT PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE SHOWS TRUMP MISLED HIS OWN ATTORNEYS ABOUT HIS HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL. NOW THAT HIS OWN LAWYERS MAY PRESENT EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM. HOW COMMON IS THIS FOR ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE TO BE POTENTIALLY PIERCE? I MEAN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO THAT HIS LAWYERS AT TIMES KIND OF SEEMED CLUELESS AT WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON , ACCORDING TO WHAT TRUMP WAS TELLING THEM AND WHAT WAS FACT. YES, IT IS VERY UNCOMMON FOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A CLIENT AND A LAWYER TO BE PIERCED, FOR THE LAWYER TO BE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THOSE COMMUNICATIONS. IT IS ONLY IN A VERY NARROW BAND OF CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A JUDGE HAS FOUND THAT THE COMMUNICATION ITSELF BETWEEN CLIENT AND LAWYER WAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMITTING A CRIME, THAT THE DISCLOSURE IS FORCED. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS OCCURRED HERE. THAT'S WHAT A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS FOUND. MIND YOU, THIS IS THE SECOND FEDERAL JUDGE WHO HAS FOUND THAT COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ONE OF TRUMP'S LAWYERS AND DONALD TRUMP WERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMITTING A CRIME. >> THE OTHER ONE BEING THE CALIFORNIA JUDGE. WITH RESPECT, A TRUMP ATTORNEY , JOHN EASTMAN, SO THIS IS NOT A DAY FOR SINGING. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN. AT MAR-A-LAGO. >> QUITE THE REVERSE. AND SO DO YOU THINK TRUMP'S ATTORNEYS COULD ACTUALLY BE FORCED TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM? >> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE DISTRICT COURT DECISION THAT CAME DOWN UNDER SEAL LAST WEEK IS UPHELD BY THE COURT OF APPEALS AND THE COURT OF APPEALS IS GOING TO MAKE A DECISION VERY, VERY QUICKLY ON THAT. THEY'VE ASKED FOR UNBELIEVABLY EXPEDITED BRIEFING. SO THERE'LL BE A DECISION PRETTY SOON IF THAT RULING IS UPHELD. EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY IS GOING TO OCCUR. MR. CORCORAN WILL BE REQUIRED TO TELL A GRAND JURY WHAT IT WAS THAT DONALD TRUMP TOLD HIM WHAT THEY DISCUSSED IN THIS CASE WITH RESPECT TO THESE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE BEING EXAMINED UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT. >> ALL RIGHT, JEFF ROBBINS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. STAY TUNED. MORE TO COME. WELL, COMING UP, RUSSIA LAUNCHING TWENTY ONE LETHAL ATTACK DRONES IN UKRAINE JUST ONE DAY AFTER CHINA'S PRESIDENT WAS THERE IN MOSCOW SHAKING HANDS WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING THAT HE MAY CONSIDER A CEASE FIRE . WHAT HAPPENED MORNINGS ON "ABC NEWS LIVE". RUSSIA LAUNCHING TWENTY ONE LETHAL ATTACK DRONES OVER NIGHT IN THE KYIV REGION, 16 OF WHICH WERE SHOT DOWN. BUT THESE ATTACKS CAME JUST AFTER CHINESE LEADER XI JINPING HAD LEFT MOSCOW AFTER A THREE DAY TRIP WHERE HE MET WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN. AND APPARENTLY THE TWO LEADERS PROCLAIMED THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE PEACE IN UKRAINE. >> FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE HAS THE LATEST FROM KYIV, JOINS US LIVE NOW. SO, TOM , SO MUCH FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF A PEACE DEAL . YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK, THERE WAS A WAVE OF ATTACKS, REALLY JUST MOMENTS AFTER THAT KEY SUMMIT BETWEEN PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT PUTIN. THE CHINESE AND RUSSIAN LEADERS . AND ACTUALLY, SHE WAS REALLY STILL IN MOSCOW WHEN THE EXPLOSION STARTED HERE. WE HAD AIR RAID SIRENS ACROSS THE COUNTRY LATE LAST NIGHT INTO THE MORNING AT THE MOST BRAZEN ATTACK IN THE SOUTHERN CITY OF ZACHARY KIESCH, A MISSILE STRIKING AN APARTMENT BUILDING, KILLING THREE , INJURING NEARLY 20 PEOPLE. TWO OF THEM SERIOUSLY, INCLUDING CHILDREN INJURED IN THAT ATTACK. AND WE ALSO HAD DRONE THOSE LETHAL IRANIAN MADE DRONES LAUNCHED BY RUSSIA, POSSIBLY FROM BELARUS IN THE NORTH AND DOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE SAW CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE HIT. AND SHE TOLD THEM IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY, BUT ALSO A TOWN TO THE SOUTH EAST OF KYIV HIT AN APARTMENT BLOCK, HIT THERE, AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED. NOW, THE RUSSIANS ARE SAYING THAT UKRAINIAN MILITARY PERSONNEL WERE IN THAT APARTMENT BLOCK. THE UKRAINIANS ARE DENYING THAT. AND ONCE AGAIN, PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY REACTING QUITE STRONGLY, SAYING THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW RUSSIA IS , IN HIS WORDS, A TERRORIST STATE. >> SO HOW ZELENSKYY RESPONDING TO ALL THIS NOW? WELL, I THINK IT'S A STRONG REACTION. PRESIDENT SAYING ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A BRAZEN ATTACK AND HE'S CALLING ON THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO RUSSIA EVEN MORE . HE'S SAYING THIS SHOULD NOT BECOME JUST A NORMAL DAY IN UKRAINE, A NORMAL DAY IN EUROPE. AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, HAVING COVERED THIS WAR FOR THE LAST YEAR, WE'RE USED TO THESE KIND OF DAYS. WE'RE USED TO THE AIR RAID SIRENS GOING OFF. WE'RE USED TO A WAVE OF STRIKES, MISSILES AND DRONES HITTING TARGETS ACROSS UKRAINE IN UKRAINIAN CITIES. >> ALL RIGHT. SO A GROUP, MEANWHILE, OF 65 UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS ARE WRAPPING UP THEIR TRAINING ON THOSE PATRIOT SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE SYSTEMS. IN OKLAHOMA HERE IN THE STATES. WHEN CAN WE ACTUALLY SEE THEM DEPLOYED ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD AND USING THESE WEAPONS SYSTEMS ? YES. SIXTY FIVE UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS ARE TRAINING AT FORT SILL, OKLAHOMA. THAT TRAINING WRAPPING UP IN THE COMING DAYS, ACCORDING TO U.S. OFFICIALS AND THOSE U.S. OFFICIALS SAYING THAT THE FIRST US DEPLOYMENT SYSTEMS WILL BE IN UKRAINE IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. AND THAT IS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT. IT'S A B BEYOND SCHEDULE. THEY ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO U.S. OFFICIALS, BECAUSE THOSE UKRAINIAN TROOPS ONCE AGAIN ARE PROVING ADEPT AT ADAPTING TO HIGHLY COMPLEX ADVANCED MILITARY SYSTEMS AND THAT THE PATRIOTS WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I MEAN, PEOPLE SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES HAVE PROVIDED UKRAINE WITH AN ARRAY OF AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS. BUT THE PATRIOTS ARE RIGHT AT THE HIGH END. IT IS A COMPLEX SYSTEM. THE UKRAINIANS WILL HAVE TO DECIDE WHERE TO DEPLOY. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD CHOOSE TO PLACE IT IN OR AROUND A CITY LIKE KYIV, AND THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY BOLSTER THE DEFENSES OF THIS CITY. IT WOULD PROTECT KEY ASSETS. AND , OF COURSE, THAT CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE POWER STATIONS, WHICH RUSSIA HAS BEEN TRYING TO STRIKE AGAIN AND AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. BUT THANKFULLY FOR UKRAINIANS, THE TEMPERATURES ARE RISING NOW AS WE MOVE INTO SPRING. >> ALL RIGHT. AND NOW WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT THESE FRESH DRONE ATTACKS AGAINST RUSSIAN OCCUPIED CRIMEA ? THESE ARE THOSE WATER, WATER BORNE DRONES YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. YEAH, I MEAN, THIS IS INTERESTING, KYRA. I MEAN, WE'VE HAD AERIAL DRONE ATTACKS FROM THE UKRAINIANS INTO CRIMEA WITHIN THE LAST 48 HOURS, WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS, WE'RE SEEING EVIDENCE THAT THERE WERE EXPLOSIONS IN CRIMEA. THE RUSSIANS ARE SAYING THESE WERE WATER BORNE DRONES. WE'VE SEEN PREVIOUS ATTACKS PROBABLY BY THE UKRAINIANS. THE UKRAINIANS OFTEN DON'T CLAIM THESE TYPES OF ATTACKS, BUT USING THESE WATER-BORNE DRONES, WHICH WE BELIEVE THE UKRAINIANS DEVELOPED THEMSELVES, THE RUSSIANS ARE SAYING THIS TIME NONE OF THEIR ASSETS WERE HIT IN AND AROUND CRIMEA. BUT I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE CRIMEAN PENINSULA HAS A KIND OF SACRED STATUS FOR VLADIMIR PUTIN. AND HIS REGIME. IT WAS ANNEXED ILLEGALLY BY THE RUSSIANS BACK IN 2014. SO IT IS A CONTENTIOUS AREA. AND PEOPLE SHOULD REALIZE THAT BEFORE THE FULL SCALE INVASION LAST FEBRUARY, CRIMEA WAS A PRETTY SAFE PLACE FOR RUSSIANS TO LIVE. IT ISN'T NOW. AND THESE EXPLOSIONS REALLY NOT ONLY HAVE A MILITARY, BUT ALSO A PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT, TOO KYRA. ALL RIGHT. TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE THERE FOR US IN KYIV. TOM , THANK YOU SO MUCH.
