russian president vladimir putin has signed into law the annexation of full ukrainian regions a week after separatists referendums that cave and its allies cold, a sham, but the kremlin now controls less of those regions than it did when the votes were held. will his a look at the areas russia claims it has annexed? well, these are the full regions that voted and referendums to join russia. the area and rid shows what russian forces actually control. moscow says all all done it skin to hans will be part of its federation, even though it's not in full control of these provinces. as her cousin ann's operation for the south. many areas outside moscow's control in the kremlin has yet to clarify what exactly it's climbing till you enough. yet. the ukrainian army is carrying out a pretty fast and powerful advance in the south of our country as part of the current offensive operation. thus dozens of settlements have already been liberated

from the russian sham referendum this week alone in the course, onregional the cock eve region who had scanned an ask regions altogether, says that our warriors do not stomach them. and it's only a matter of time before we oust the occupier from our land. voyage. helens is la for us and cavan to worry. as we have seen, ukrainian forces have made some significant progress in both the north and east and the south. can you explain why they've been able to make such a deans in russian held territory will or there are a couple of military concepts that can really help us out and trying to make sense of what's going on here. one of them is culmination, and the other one is initiative. now culmination is when in an attrition or fight, the advancing army gets so exhausted that it can't push on any more. and initiative is who dictates the terms on the battlefields? the yeah, the, the, what's the where and the how. and what we're looking at here is

a russian army that basically culminated weeks if not months ago and has now seated the initiative to the ukrainians. and that's the dynamic that i think we're seeing are right now in, in ukraine, on the front lines, motors as made in real terms. well, if you look down in there for some region, the russians are now squeezed in the north, on the west bank of that neighbor river into a small pockets around curse on city. there are basically all now within range of a crate in artillery the bridges over the nipper have been blown, said they can't retreat they're, they're essentially surrounded. and that's looking very, very unrealistic for the russians to be able to hold on that. so that in the, in the northeast, we're also seeing the ukrainians continuing to focus on key transport. hobbs, towns that are a rail network, basically like as you are likely man. and now like spot over. and that means that the russians are and their ability to keep on fighting this war is getting very,

very stressed and that's why they're losing territory. and more help is on the way . are you as president joe biden has pledged another $625000000.00 in military aid to ukraine? yeah, exactly. so we have further continuation of this supply that has been so crucial or for ukraine and its ability to, to fight off the russian invasion. absolutely. essential to that is the high mar system. this are very high precision mobile multi rocket launch a system essentially with so with there are more of those coming. there are more of those precision rockets, ball, precision shells coming up. this is all obviously good news for the ukrainians and bad news for the russians. is there anything that could slow down or stop the ukrainian vans? what of course there is, you know, we've got winter coming or the weather is turning. the battlefield is getting more

and more muddy. that means that armored vehicles slow down, man, slow down. on the other side, rushes mobilization at some points is going to start hitting the battle fields on mass. those men that the russians have been very, very short of, in recent weeks and months, are going to start appearing on the front lines with well, whether they'll be any goods as, as fighters or soldiers. that remains to be seen. mobilized men often aren't particularly motivated all well trained, but he, i certainly the, the, i think the ukrainians think that, that they have a window of opportunity here. and hatter maximize it as much they can. okay. very chelan, sir, for us and cave. thank you. which al stradford met, one of the unit stands part of the counter offensive in easton ukraine. the drive to tank positions on the eastern front is often a long, muddy isolated roads. hidden in the forest under wet autumn leaves, we find ukrainian soldiers with the 5th assault tank regiment tanks here who be

a 2nd blast to the tank has moved into its operating position. we understand that they are firing a russian positions about 3 kilometers from here. the tanks operating here a part of a wider counter offensive in the east. that is seen great success in recent weeks. time now is of the essence moved back into color before russian forces locate the following position and reply. this tank soldier tells us is one of around a 100 that russian soldiers abandoned. in the past month when they fled, the ongoing ukrainian army advanced. suddenly, the sound of a jet fighter approaching we struggled to see it through the leaves, apart with its screams overhead. alexander
