It has been two weeks since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and Russia\u2019s high-tech army of nearly 200,000 soldiers have not taken control of any major cities, except the southern port of Kherson. \n\nThe state of the war is eerily stalled and the Russians\u2019 answer has been to encircle cities and, from a distance, bomb what they can\u2019t control. \n\nToday, we hear dispatches on two cities in Ukraine\u2019s south that are surrounded and under attack. \n\nGuest: Michael Schwirtz, an investigative reporter for The New York Times; and Valerie Hopkins, a Moscow correspondent for The Times, currently in Ukraine.
