create and keep off with resistance to pretends war? the only thing we can regret is it, we didn't stop active measures earlier. means the rule that was by them, improvements message, recent interview with the russian state tv woods. to put an end to speculation that the kremlin might be open to some kind of deal to freeze this conflict. a receipt, let's say, which is ukraine x. but at london's chatham house think tank, she says, pretend still thinks you can take all of ukraine. it is clear from public statements that she's not changing. she's wor, objectives. what i see russia in this. yeah. really believes it has a chance. it has a chance to break ukraine, and they will be breaking ukraine militarily. a named russian sources talking about the potential piece to adjust to districts and tactics. she says. they also will work in the west to actually undermine decision making,

to send these confusing messages about the possible ceasefire. meanwhile, not mean ceasefire for them. they would like to see washington actually accepting of food instead of tauriel drab versus victory, and have div was the biggest since the full bus worked last. may many expect pushing to use momentum. going to try to take all the full ukrainian regions. he's already formally annexed. that's done yet. so, hans, so patricia. okay, so it will be easy. ukraine still controlled sludge waves of these regions puts in may want to push on, because he actually have the results, his taking of difficult construction forces. many lives wasted intelligence. estimates the casualties of a 10000 dead as one russian to, to build it. you can claim that the death toll had reached $16000.00 mike martin the senior visiting fellow and was that is at kings college london. he says that you can, you know, me, can make russia pay

a higher price for any territorial gains. defense is much easier than attack. the russians may well be able to take small amounts of ground at great cost, but they don't, cannot suddenly roll it over and take care of his operational odessa. so i know you kinds know that they need to just move back very slowly. their ability to do that will depend on how well west and support holds up. do you have good ukrainians? we're fortunate out gunned 5 to one. you promise it's supply ukraine with a 1000000 shells in a year failed while russia got that many from north korea in a matter of months. will ukraine, you know, is now on washington. but i think at the moment we were that little bit of a guy political lighting point. everyone's waiting to see what happens with the us presidential election. i think you've come wins. we all going to say, you know, quote unquote the date of the century and from is going to hand law charities of

ukraine to pizza and for the ukrainians. all work of the assumption that they're on the right now. so they're doing what they can with home grant innovation, getting targets deep inside russia with long range drones to fit maximum damage on pigeons war economy as ukraine and as 3rd year full. it's trying to take the flight to russia while it waits to see whether the west provides resources have another go on the battlefields. us present, joe biden has an as penis of sanctions against 500 targets in russia, in a fresh effort to counter when he called pretends war machine. the measure is also seat, punish russian officials for the death of dissident politician and likes and of all . and the last week targets include people connected with his imprisonment as well as individuals involved in supporting the war, including the defense and financial sectors. here's what president biden had to say on the new sanctions. you can't walk away now. this is putting these painting is

bending on, we're going to walk away. that's why i'm announcing more than 500 new sanctions. the response of to conquests in response to election of all these day. because make no mistake putting is responsible for alexis that he doesn't use. janelle denial on tells me more about this new raft of us that you, i know these sanctions are in response for alexis, of all of these tests as well as russia's ongoing, a war on ukraine, which as we know is entering its 3rd year. now this is the biggest round of sanctions imposed on a rough shot in a single day since of the war started and then includes over $500.00 targets across off rushes, industrial defense sector, and its financial sector. it includes, for example, 2 of a rush has biggest companies by revenue,

one military logistics company as well as a producer of specialty steals. so these are companies that are integral to all russians war effort. the sanctions are also targeting russia has financial sector by way of targeting its national payment system. it's also going after a prison officials that the u. s. says are linked to alike sandoval and the stuff as well as sanctions enablers around the world, in europe, in the middle east and in asia. now this latest round of sanctions from the west comes after the you announced their own measures. and it really is the hope that these coordinated sanctions help to slow down russia's war machine at a time where ukraine is running out of ammunition. and it really does look like we've reached a states in the war where both sides are truly well and dug in. and we do know that this is obviously by far not the 1st round of sanctions,

but have previous measures shown any sign of actually impacting russia as well. if the point of sanctions is to trigger a change in behavior or really degrade russia is the ability to wage a war. well, we know that hasn't really happened if there is something that russia is good at, it is dealing with sanctions. there's been sanctions regina's in place, so going as far back as 2014, it also has to be said that rushes economy has held up a considerably well a, despite the sanctions a, the international monetary fund, for example, has said that russia's economy is set to grow even faster then it had originally forecasted for this year. you have the lights of china, india, and brazil by record of balance of russian oil rushes war economy, of course, is really giving a boost to the weapons production sector. now to what extent this current round of

sanctions will really hurt, russia is unclear, but we do know that it takes time for these sanctions to really take effect and for the effect of the sanctions to be felt. and time is just one of the things that ukraine is lacking at the moment, along with i munition and along with billions in u. s. military assistance for ukraine. thanks so much janelle, janelle, the mile on who's in washington dc. here's look at some other stuff, res. making headlines around the world. spanish prime minister pedro sanchez has visited the sites of a fire that killed at least 9 people after swept through to residential buildings in valencia. others are still missing and firefighters are searching and buildings remains for victims. in the us, the national rifle association, this former c e o has been fined liable in a law suit centered on the organizations lavish spending. and you're in new york,
