also coming up. leaders talking money. how do you pay for rebuilding ukraine once the war is over? we'll meet some of those already trying to rebuild. and in the united states, 4th of july celebrations marred by yet another mass shooting beliefs in the chicago suburb of highland park. say at least 6 people are dead. 24 wounded after man, open fire during an independent stay parade. the shooter remains at large. ah, ah, can i bring off is good to have you with as we begin with and advancing russia in eastern new crate, russian forces have claimed victory in the city of lucy shots, ukraine's military withdrew from the strategically important city. on sunday, leaving the lou hunt screeching entirely under russian control,

ukraine is now bracing for further attacks against the city of slow vianza. as russian forces continue to push westward. russia is expected to attempt to take control of the nest, which along with lew hans makes up the wider don't boss region. ukraine's president zalinski says that his country will recover the loss territory. earlier military analyst frank led with explained the significance of the loss of the city of lucy shocks for you crate. the claims, i think i've been expecting this for quite a while and i think we need to put this in context that it's a successful propaganda grounds. propose a next they recover is he would say the invasion and taking as you kind of rocky put it on your hands. but what we've seen over the last couple of months is a consumer defense in abundance of concession of land and infliction of casualties on the russian russians. we've seen in the last few days as

a brilliantly executed fighting retreat to, to assist the russians to flatten their front. was brought to the city crane is a platinum front on me. so we need to put this into context. remember the russians been trying to do is turn off months, taking thousands of casualties. so attempting re, do you think that this makes it more likely that russians, territorial ambitions are possibly now bigger, larger than they were just yesterday. brent? it's conceivable. i suspect that, as you said before, the russians will proceed now westward to try and finish the taking of the of the don ask up last. and that would be a again, a propaganda for, for pearson. i don't think i'm going to get farther than that though, certainly not end of this year. the president of ukraine, mister zalinski, he has vowed to retake the territory,

but he says that will be done once his troops get the deliveries the help of this advanced weaponry that is coming from western allies. how realistic is it? is it, is it that calls us once they get the weapons, they'll be able to push the russians back presents and this is entirely right. the trouble is that the west has been drink feet and weapons to the ukrainians. now for the last 3 months. and what the ukrainians need is a far more institutional supply and training effort from nate on specifically and especially the united states, which has vast quantities of weapons, mountain weapons, relatively modern weapons in storage. and in due course, i think that would enable the ukrainians to drive the route ramshackle, but rather fire power heavy russian army back to where they belong. but this is a matter that's up to the west. if you get the, you can use the tools or the job, but right now we're not getting those tools. last week,

i'm sure you're aware of leaders at the g 7 summit, nato countries, a promise to military aid to ukraine. and i'm quoting for as long as it takes now after the fall of the city of lucy shaw. and would you like to offer an idea tonight on how long long is that? once again, brent is a matter for the west if the ukrainians get what they need. they can finish this war against a ramshackle and poorly trained rather plated russian army quite quickly than not getting what they need. and this trip feed needs to turn into a flood if that re take their lands. i suspect they'll make an attempt in the next few months to take some ground in the south. but they can't be sure of success unless the west really steps up and right now, as long as it takes for me, it would seem to be a very long time if you cranes don't get what they need,

they'll hold, they'll hold their land, they will succeed in the end, but the question is, how long to wait in the west want to inflict this war on their military analyst and visiting fellow at the trans atlantic dialogue center frank lead, which frank is always we appreciate your insight in your time tonight. thank you. thank you, brenda, or the 2nd closer look now at the skill of the destruction that has been caused by the russian invasion of ukraine. we're going to go through the numbers here. more than 100 hospitals have been destroyed, damage to civilian infrastructure. so estimated 4500000000 euros every week. thousands of kilometers of roads have been made impassable. hundreds of bridges have been blown up. and ukrainian officials are estimating that the total economic losses from the war will come in at over $500000000000.00 euros. rebuilding the country, it will be an enormous task. international leaders are gathering for
