(NewsNation Now) — Air raid sirens could be heard blaring during special coverage on “NewsNation Prime” of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. An Associated Press bureau chief reporting for NewsNation had to put on a flak jacket live on air.
“We’ve got to put our protection on here,” said Joe Federman, Associated Press chief of bureau for Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The civil defense siren was sounded Wednesday night as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy imposed martial law on the country. The law, in an emergency, allows the military to take the place of the civilian government and exercise jurisdiction over civilians in a particular area.
The invasion of several Ukrainian regions began Wednesday with big explosions before dawn in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa.
Federman was scheduled to rejoin the network for “Morning in America” on Thursday but canceled, citing safety concerns.
