equipment that has already been sent. but in addition, there is also going to be new military equipment in the form of stingers and, and javelins, but also training ad logistic support. and also there's going to be 5000000000 that's also going to be allocated for really addressing one of the growing needs, and that is global food insecurity. meanwhile, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says the situation and don bass is extremely difficult as russia's offensive inst, labianca considered an ex continues. he's also thanked you as president joe biden for the later support package. yesterday. i am grateful to president biden for immediately signing of $40000000000.00 support package for ukraine approved by congress. this is a historical contribution to the protection of freedom in europe. well, that incoming military and financial assistance will be sorely needed after russia says it's destroyed

a beg reports. the calm before the storm. an e. quiet in baltimore, as russian forces concentrate their fire power of the town of solid dod. yeah, moody is the bus lead new book. i don't silly. how are we living bad? no. in a piece. what else is there to say? i will stay here to the last moment. i don't want to leave. i'm not young anymore. i have a cat. got, can you imagine that much leaving the cat, his food, cat tray, a lot of stuff and the cat is heavy. other hair all ready escaped russian held territory. now we have to move again. yet we have for what did we waiting for money and then we'll go with the road is not close 1st we will go to denise pro and then further west here it's constant shooting. i'm afraid for my children. you don't want to talk about the russian ocoee nation. i lost my father an uncle. the worst thing to remember. he was only 60,

only one of my sons saw him. the com is deceiving, the russians are closing in on 2 different front, down the street. the florists are still open to young, but the nick ve there people need flowers just a few minutes before a man bought flowers. now i'm chatting with a girl who wants to buy some flowers. it's scary during strikes, but generally i'm not scared children left, but i'm here. i have my own home and don't want to leave it in neighboring slide. the answer, some are evacuating others. 248. the administration here say they're concerned about people returning to the town or not or who served? luna, thanks to our army. the city is still standing. you can hear permanent artillery fire and very close to us is heavy fighting. periodically. russian rockets here, the town jets are shooting to as we speak with him, he gets a call to sound the air raid siren. we make our way downstairs,

while aware we are in the tans administration building a prime target for the russians. iraq, the summer usa, me personally, i'm exhausted. i sleep on the floor because of the rule of 2 walls in my family to they are not in a city. they are living in a school, but the main think they are and will be living. it's easier for me to worry only about myself than to worry about my family. and still, the war rages. smoke rises up from the artillery battle, taking place behind me, a critical battle for solid dotted place. if the russians munched, take that time along with the hills surrounding it, coupled with the advances that making fun of the front, so that all this area was full into russian hands, including the town. i said make algebra, but he thought well, joining me now from nashville, tennessee, as michael newton, he's a professor of law and political science at vanderbilt university. michael,

good, happy with her. so we're now seeing russia reenergize, it's military offensive in the dumbass, but, but does russia have enough military assets in the right places to maintain dis momentum in these given the, the poor, logistical support and low morale. it's plagued its invasion so far. well, we'll see. i mean, the reality is that they're able to shift some forces away from area bowl, but by the same token, ukrainian defenders are able ship forces away from my desk and away from area poll . the east around the need are a will be the real fight in this war, i believe. yeah, and you as president joe biden has just signed another $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine, that's on top of the $13600000000.00 already given the question is mike what, what, what difference is all this western military aid making on the ground? if any was making significant differences today. the challenge, of course, is getting it in through the chunk point from the west of the western ukraine and

from to the cave region. but getting it to the fighters hands where it really needs to be. and i think that will be one of the critical things to watch over the next week for 2 weeks for 10 days. if, if in fact the ukrainians can keep up pressure on russian supply lines, it will bode well. the russians, on the other hand, are attending the mass forces and surround ukrainian forces in the east. and the great problem here is if you did generate into stagnant warfare, stagnant in the east, which is you, we, we've seen that in the past in that region. the russians want to break that cycle now. yeah, and up michael, you mentioned mary paul, just the in the last few days we've seen ukrainian forces surrender in matter you poll. so what does this mean strategically for ukraine? if russia cuts off its access to the sea of, as of, and potentially further south the black sea. well, the bigger thing to me right now is the impact on world hunger world. we exports

the entire world will suffer as a result of cutting off those exports. any intentional destruction of russian grains doors. setting that aside just in pure military terms, it gives the russians a deep water port which makes them closer and more able to project combat power and resupply the ocean routes. but, but by the same token, and they all have to leave significant forces in marion poll because of all war and the law of occupation requires them to maintain public order and safety. and that's going to be the challenge for them. i believe going forward. they've secured it in the short term, but that's very different than the long term. and i do think you'll see what, what few civilians are there. you'll still see a recurring resistance there. that was slow down, rush in efforts, as well as other parts of eastern ukraine. michael newton, really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for talking to 0.

here in the us. they are coming from european manufacturers, nestle, and gerber. and they are may possible because president biden had the f. d, a wave. some of these importation requirements to help address this baby formula shortage crisis in the us earlier this week bite and also enacted the defense production act, which allows the government to compel suppliers to make these ingredients available for manufacturers more easily. now this help can't come soon enough for the parents who have been desperately looking for baby formula as they run out of the shelves more than 40 percent, less of it in stock than in normal conditions. and as families have had to take some desperate measures traveling many, many, many kilometers or having to ration food for their young ones, this particularly hitting medically medically vulnerable children,
