So last year, Zelensky pushed for the formation of a united European armed force.

with Ukraine included, of course, that could be up to 3 million troops.

And he lamented nothing had been done since he brought it up, but he said it's still not too late and described one way Europe might benefit.

And now he's talking about how Ukraine, though, it has this tiny Navy-used sea drones to basically block Russia ships from using the Black Sea.

Zelensky said Ukraine needs Europe's help today to keep its independence, but that tomorrow Europe will have to protect its own way of life.

And Zelensky told Europeans, with Ukraine at your side, no one will wipe their feet on you.

You're welcome.

Thanks for having me on the show, Scott.

It's cold and the sun is shining today and that does make things a little better, but it's still 13 degrees Fahrenheit out.

We're lucky at the Bureau because we have this backup battery for electricity.

However, the heating is out for long periods, so it's really cold in our house and I am wearing my coat right now.

And outside, businesses are using generators to keep operating.

But many homes are cold and dark.

It's so cold indoors in some homes that windows are icing up.

People can see their breath.

And children are vulnerable.

We met one mom, Inessa Rostysvinska.

She was inside a bus that had been turned into a mobile shelter.

It's a place where people can keep warm.

They can warm up.
