the, the, this is dw news slide from the land. ukrainian troops under pressure in the east keeps commander in chief says, troops of withdrawn from spring villages. nissan ask me for the cold of was sitting of the situation there and a new push for a ceasefire. and gaza, you a secretary of state blanket is said to arrive in saudi arabia. the talks with our fleet has passed for the 1st time in weeks as well. and hama signal, a willingness to talk about a truce, including the exchange of hostages. the presence the

i've been physical and welcome ukraine's top general says his forces have suffered several setbacks on the battlefield. and russian troops are advancing in the east and don't ask region. forces lead to alexandra seal skis as most go is now attacking ukraine along the entire front line and has achieved tactical successes by concentrating its efforts. russian strikes now or to d today. a village in ukraine's eastern the nets region west pointing has been raging for days. must go claims that luxury now controls the area. russian forces have advanced through at least half a dozen villages on the east in front since capturing the town of of d. you've got in february that taking advantage of the superior troop numbers and munitions stokes, while he waits, the fresh supplies. ukraine's army leaders have conceded that moscow has had, quote, tactical sit, assess,

is imposed made on social media. the armed forces come on during chief alexander the escape, said ukrainian troops had retreated to new positions for the west. as russian forces rapidly approach cordova and poker off elsewhere in the country. you claim you unofficial se russian drug and struck the black sea city of nichol tonight, setting a hotel or blaze, and damaging energy infrastructure. russian media claims the strike target to the shipyards where drones are assembled. president, below to me is the lensky. find the us congress for the billions of dollars worth of new weapons. that's all finally on the way to ukraine, while also issuing a fresh key for more defense is actually could even use the same which we are interacting with upon the tool level socrates, the level of efficiency and assistance that is needed. no, definitely, to hold off, additional asking, but also to disrupt the russians. work samuels. very moderate east. keep blindly be

me. it's good. i emphasize the need for patriot systems. they are needed as soon as possible. switch, strong demands for a desperate situation with ukraine in both is vastly outnumbered and keep struggling to recruit to move some just the landscape is counting on fresh us supplies. to turn the tide of the will. military analysts to frank labor. it's jessica, back from ukraine. i asked him if this is a reality check and if so, just how bad it is. a good day the by and i'm not. so it's reality check is the right to this has been all these study guides have been happening now over the last 2 months. so, so since the full of, of div come to a lesser extent of the last few months, but undoubtedly the momentum of the russians that sort of stepped up, i think, over the last month or so, particularly west of optic and in the north, towards the trust it'd be a name, we're going to hear a lot more often. so yes,

it's not critical. we mustn't believe that this is some sort of decisive moment. it isn't the general serious case simply accepting the way things are not. so that's, that's, that's exactly what he should do at this moment. frank, can i just point out last time the commander in chief spoke out like this and was so frank, he was fine. it was the wrong message sent to the west in the past. the don't as thank you, crane was doing better than it really was. yes, i think there's so there's some truth about and western officials i've spoken to present to the picture, which is frankly incredible. now whether they got that picture from the ukrainians or the wrong with all the information, i don't know. but of course the us, as you said, the reality is beginning to 2nd. it has gone over to the last month or so. and you mentioned the dismissal of general sellers, me who made comments quite similar to dental serious cases. the point of a few months ago, just before he got fired and in late february or the march, it was saying that the dental was obviously, is essentially paid. well, the awesome. yeah. taking up his appointment,

he was appointed. i would say pops into eggs all his it was. uh so you can best of it. i don't think it's left yet, but there is no, i think it's fair to say, oh, there remains a risk within the ukrainian and in the political nation. so how to approach what's going on in the battlefield? it is that what's getting in the way here, primarily, or politics also holding back you kinds of military successes or no, don't think so. there is the realities on the battlefields which have been again developing over the last few months. first of all, that strategic level, the russians love. you know that history shows like some organs defends the date that determines enough kind of style in chechnya, they look like every other medication. bonnie does co generals have been dismissed and of course have been tactical, that they've learned tactics on the battlefield, which i proved and i'll continue to prove effective and not please also to do your claim. so no, it's not. but the rifts at the higher end,

a causing these trouble saw from it that also on the battlefield. what we're also seeing is the luck of the defenses. ukrainian supplies of a defense massage and system. so it's essentially pulling off the cliff as one x minutes to put it to me over the last few months. and the result has been a russian aviation. is that cool? it has been deployed hunters and they thousands of bones on to us. you see that on to your primary lines and can now in fact this guy cannot, in fact conduct close. i support against ukrainian positions that there is also considerable evidence that the russians to take advantage of the ability to control or k. so hope some element of control and you kind of space to to improve the reconnaissance capabilities. so these are topical issues, the russians of learning kinds of learning to, of course. and the result is that the pregnant, so having to step by step was maintaining cohesion. withdrawal and retreat from untenable positions and is this now more about manpower or emulation,

the new mobilization efforts, for example, come a couple of years into this for now. so yeah, that's absolutely essential. this is a war of attrition, and that's where the center of gravity, the operational level, is not in power. the russians have outbound power. they mobilize, they've caused quite early on in the war. i mid, mid 2022, and an old man to adopt by paying the soldiers, excuse me. well, by uh to it's about 4 or 5 times the national salary. so no, no problems with recruitment, their group. i think it's commonly accepted 220-203-0000 people a month. that's not the case with ukrainians. they did that for several months over them organization. it's questionable whether they have to kind of touch with the scale of a quiet among theories, they should also begin to focus rather than on high end kids. not the top comes on what have you, but on the quickness, so just pop the front of all the better than they do not particularly with mobility and body on what have you been the day we have it. uh no, this is um, this is

a very serious matter to the ukrainians. let's hope they stop now to begin to, to mobilize those who haven't yet been mobilized. those would do to be a passing data, use some of the finances i've got to improve the alpha to credit itself is not just on the line, but those of course have come off the line open ended. when did all of that helps with recruitment is the central gravity and this was a war of attrition. ukrainians need to need to mobilize on a scale stimulus about that. the russians great to get your take as always, military analyst frank language. thank you. can just see you again a thank you. thank you. a secretary of state entity blinking is on his way to saudi arabia as part of a new push to broke a ceasefire between israel and thomas lincoln assent to meet with leaders of golf. our states, a monday evening mediating a plan for a truce, and the return of hostages held in garza since the almost like a terrorist attack on october 7th. at the same time, how much delegation is expected to meet at gibson officials in cairo,

they have now taken accounts are offer and is ready counter offer back. it is now with her mouse and we're waiting to hear. well they have to say about it, but the style made really potentially remains. we have been hearing a good, you know, from the, from the egyptians who are very close to these talks and a party to these talks. they've been speaking very positively about this particular deal. and they think it could likely come to fruition. but the style might that exist between the 2 sides remains and you know, it's, it remains to be seen whether or not we can bridge that style night to actually reach dealing me. and i looked out some other stories making use a salad. at least 4 people have been killed in thousands injured off. the tomatoes ripped from oklahoma, the homes were leveled and cons over tubs. the states government has declared a state of emergency in 12 counties, floods, warnings remain in place. thousands of protesters in georgia have again rallied
