10:06 am
ultimately, it must be seen as, as a very key strategic objective of the russians. yes, western intelligence assessments continue to believe that the russians have simply not mustered sufficient force close to the capitol to be able to mount a full scale attack on it. but they do continue with long range artillery and heavy artillery on the ground to mount these attacks. in an arc of suburban senses to the north and north west of the capital, places like butcher, like european, like mark car eve and others. places where we've seen significant civilian deaths in recent days. it been a lot of people also fleeing in the last 2 days. from that going into the capital q and they've been reports of russian. i'm a senior high school bro, very just to the north of the capital. significant fighting is taking place further north and sherony. that's a big city, very close to the beller isn't and russian borders. the objective seems to be to try and open and clear

10:20 am
that 26 percent of its supply. this will end our over dependency and give us much needed room to maneuver 2 thirds by the end of this year. todd. bloody. but it's possible if we're willing to go further and faster than we've done before, but ex, but say this decision will mean difficult compromises hitting that target. the very challenging, if they do that, are they going to be aware of the consequences? they'll have to be additional use of nuclear, which is supposed to be phased out in certain countries. they'll be more coal use, which won't help climate goals. there was even a point that said, turn your thermostat down one degree and that has a major impact on potential gas use. the pay off of this, eventual band european consumers will no longer be inadvertently funding the war. and ukraine is oil purchases alone, but $285000000.00
