Kyiv resident takes up arms to defend city; Russian ruble plummets by nearly 30%

Dmytro Veselov, 31, discusses what the situation is like in Kyiv, Ukraine, as he and other Ukrainians take up arms to defend the city from the Russian invasion. And, sanctions against Russia have dropped the ruble by almost 30% against the U.S. dollar. The measures are meant to force Putin to the negotiating table, but the sanctions are hitting ordinary Russians too. NPR's Charles Maynes in Moscow joins us.
