And welcome to CBS News Tonight.

You know we've been following the ongoing coverage of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

And today we bring you a story about a war within a war.

It seems like the conflict between the Ukrainians and the Russians is not just about the invasion,

but actually LGBTQ plus rights.

Here to talk about that is our correspondent and Kiev will wit, will wit, welcome.

Thanks, Amla.

I'm here on the scene.

Things are pretty, pretty crazy around here.

There's oh my goodness, bombs, all sorts of stuff.

But we have to remember what the fight is really about.

And that is trans rights.

What this whole conflict is about and we have to remember that.

Can you explain that further?

Well, what exactly is happening on the ground in Kiev with trans people?

Well, let's not worry about all that.

Let's just worry about the fact that trans people are sequestered into a bad place in society.

And without them, we don't have America.

I mean, Ukraine.

And it's very important that we look after them.

A powerful, powerful message to Nai brought to you by our correspondent will wit in Kiev,

Ukraine.
