6:54 am
targets, yet another uh number of items that will be added to the war crimes case against russia at the icj uh so that's the the factual uh method. what's happening in russia however is primarily being done by russian citizens against the russian government, and we just got a report today that largest donations for uh ukraine's drone army uh came from russia during the period of the uh russian elections, so there are actually russians who are sending aid to ukraine to help liberate their own country. uh, mr. larry johnson, i want to get your assessment as well and also if you may respond to mr. dobronski in new york. well, what are you saying are lies? complete utter lies. where's the video? show us the video tape. out of kiev of all of the civilian areas hit, you can't, because that's not what happened in contrast though, the ample video evidence of the ukrainians sending missiles into belgrad
6:55 am
and drones into belgrad hitting purely civilian targets. the fact of the matter is there are significant number of western mercenaries, ukraine's being kept alive because of a flow of nato weapons and russia is appropriately hitting and targeting those areas through. you know, if you if russia was really hitting civilian targets, you would see the images coming out of of the laviv area, out of the base at yavar, but they're not showing that, and you know, ukraine continues to lie about, oh, we shot down most the missiles coming in, no, they didn't, because if they did, they wouldn't be complaining about, oh, the russians have hit all these civilian areas, the reality is this, ukraine's losing, it has lost the wall. it's a dead man walking, it just doesn't want to acknowledge that fact. all right, that's all the time we have for this segment of the program, allow me to thank my guest, mr. lary
