well, right now, we have seen quite quick and successful counter offensive in the north. and so the ukranian forces have gained the strategic initiative right now. yet they will have to hold that round, and according to russia, they have not been successful to cross the river of us in the north. so there is still a divisions there, and the troops that are right now in the north will be pipe down there in the south in care. so on that has been an attempt to conduct a counter offensive. however, russians have targeted to dam. so, crossing the english river will be difficult for the ukrainian forces right now. and so it seems that the temples operational tempo is slowing down. however, this was enough to warn roches planned to go forth. what i'm going from a tourist this around to 2 cities. so it remains to be seen, how's the how's those technical successes will be translated into strategic

successes at this point, it is too early to tell. well, russian president vladimir putin has said that this ukrainian counter offensive will not change the kremlin plans. and also has said that so far, russia hasn't even deployed its full forces. so what do you believe will be russia next? move? this counter offensive was certainly a slap into russia's face. and obviously it will change the military operation. russians m o. d. sad that the idea now the main goal is to liberate them back earlier if they said they would liberate ukraine. so there will be changes to the operational plants as well. because as i said, the walk nurse are still pushing towards bach mode. however, now surrounding the 2 cities of the poorest and which would then repeat the

scenario of lucy trunk is impossible because the russians have lost the north. now the basque land or the russians would be to concentrate the forces in the south and sold the logistical problem so that they don't lose curse on which is key. it's an access to crimea. so possibly, all of these plans will have to be readjusted and iran done cut their own hands cold form. a bill is ation for volunteers to join the military operation. and that signifies that the russians are struggling. they don't have enough manpower to achieve their operational aims. however, put in on, on the, on the larger scale and political scale will be using as elaborate, such as the economic and diplomatic levers to balance it out. and we have seen that during the meeting and some are cons with china with the ram. so he will try to use other tools of state craft to put europe and the united states into a difficult position. while speaking of the south,

ukraine has said that it aims to retake all the territory that russia has seized, and that includes crimea, which was illegally antics by russia. in 2014. do you think the west would support this endeavor? it is a difficult question because right now there is a division in terms of what weapons should be supplied to ukraine in light of the successful counter offensive. so on the one hand will have the united states and the united kingdom than would have poland as plenty of those are countries close to russia. and then we have other european countries, and that have been supplying weapons to ukraine. however, we don't have an infinite amount of weapons and we have to also think that one, the military operation and obviously physically we're taking the territory is important. however, what's more important is achieving a lasting unstable piece. and for that,

the ukranian economy has to function. and as of right now, the world bank is estimated that the brain would need $350000000000.00 to recover its economy. so we have to differentiate between military success and what your brain aspires to do. and then the last thing piece, because that could potentially descent into cows. if the government lose control of those territories, if it cannot provide for the people and those territories. that was marina muran from king's college london. many thanks indeed for your insights. thank you. let's turn our attention to lebanon now, which isn't the grip over massive economic crisis that has prompted banks to impose massive restrictions on withdrawals. the country currency has lost more than 90 percent of its value on the black market in recent years, while unemployment and poverty reach severe levels. people desperate to get hold of
