elsewhere were very courage by what we're saying right now. we weren't sits, are astride the supply lines of the, of the russians. and they, they've used those routes to try to push men and material down to the south and to the west. and without those routes, it will be more difficult. so it presents a sort of a dilemma for, for the russians going for d, w correspondent, ne connelly and key if told me that the loss of li, mom is a major blow to russian president vladimir putin. not only is it a crucial strategic point in terms of the logistics of russia's invasion of ukraine's. we heard from lord austin there it talks about the optics and the timing . you know, this is just a day after a couple of days after this huge event in moscow in the kremlin, with vladimir putin saying that russia is here to stay, that russia is not gonna budge. and he, we, he, we've seen, you know,

the opposite being proved. we've seen ukraine successfully rolling back for some control pulling down russian flags pulling down signs and co symbols of the kind of russian takeover. and this is, this is linda. yes, region. so this is the reason that russia now claims as its own and you, ukraine, is actually able to create facts on the browse. this is a very big deal. and you know, it potentially with a few more weeks to go before the winter, really sets in and fighting bills more difficult as the real prospect of ukraine heading towards their cities 7 than yes, the chance which were basically rushes only big wind of the summer rush invested thousands of lives and a lot of technology to capturing those cities at very, very slow pace. now ukraine's within striking distance is really we launched a wave of soul searching in russia. she's much kristen for the russian military leadership play to put under a lot of pressure, even people who are in favor of this invasion of ukraine and a sense that even rushes mobilization of tens and hundreds of thousands of civilians is not actually having effect yet. and you can't really on a roll. so nick, what do we know about russia's military strategy?

what are they likely to do next? well, the fair hearing here is that given these failures on the battlefield, given russia inability to really change its tactics to deal with all the western equipment that ukraine is getting, that they are going to increasingly focus their attention on civilian infrastructure and basically try and make life as difficult as possible for as many ukraine's they can. the sooner thing is the, in the middle of this war, you're here and key of you still have is that functioning perfectly avenue for this? you have gassy, of all the kind of basics of modern civilization. and the be expectation is that russia will try and make life so uncomfortable that ukraine population puts pressure on its leaders to, you know, and this was on russia's term. so that's really the thing that people are expecting here did have a new colony connelly reporting from here. thank you so much. let's get a check now. some of the other stories making headlines. this. our german defense minister, a christina lambert, i says germany will deliver for state of the art air defense system to ukraine.
