President Zelensky says the battle for Donbas is now in full force, and he vows Ukrainians will repel Russia's advancing army. The Kremlin says the goal is to "fully liberate" what Moscow calls two new independent republics in eastern Ukraine. One is in Luhansk, where a top Ukrainian official is pleading with anyone left to "evacuate now," saying residents of the fallen town of Kreminna are now hostages. A top adviser to Zelensky tells CNN, "Not a single place, a town, a city or a village is safe right now." Our CNN correspondents are deployed across Ukraine. Today's show begins with Ed Lavandera in Kyiv.
