8:05 pm
a horrific rick situation that just adds even more fuel to the anger of felt by the people of me. and i think it's the intent is to instill even greater fear in the population of men, mar, hunter, is despised by, by most they're deeply unpopular. and so they're trying to demonstrate just the links to which they're willing to go to, to hold on to whatever a power they might have. my gut feeling is that this is going to have just the opposite effect. i think it's going to ignite, even more anger. more outburst, greater violence and increase to the conflict. people are fed up in the and more they're outraged and i think this is going to push that outrage even further. so i think what we're going to see is an escalation of, of the conflict of the violence. and the hunter is going to find that the impact is going to be just the opposite of what of what is intended. ah,

8:07 pm
legitimate military targets. one a warship. the other one, a storage facility for american made missiles, but elaborate the foreign minister of russia has said that there is no bar to the grain being shipped out. this is tons and tons of ukrainian grain that has been held in these ports, potentially causing a world food shortage because it has been too unsafe for them to ship that grain out. well, now they've got this agreement with russia for safe channels to take that grain away, but a lot of the landscape, the president of ukraine has said that you can't trust russia to do this. and in fact, lab rob did warn that they can still strike legitimate military targets. what that means is there could still be disputes in which the russians are striking those ports and that could indeed cause problems with that grain. but right now, both sides say that deal is going through and there is no limit to the amount of
