great to see. so tell us what's behind these claims by russia? well, actually the russian officials are saying that this attack was a retaliation. revenge attack ah, 2 are equal to score against 2 crime of 4 ukrainians for the ukrainians. a successful hit on the russian occupied town of mackey euchre. ah, on new year's eve in which the ukrainians claim several 100 russian soldiers, mostly mobilized and mercenaries died and the russians only so far admitted $89.00 . no, it is just definitely a propaganda attempt to as a se blade while 11. now with you, quite frankly speaking on both sides, there is always in such conflicts and exaggeration of one's law over the other size losses and basically trying to hide the losses on your own side. but frankly,

we haven't seen any dramatic footage from grammar doors that would prove russia's amazing, i would say, claim fantastic lame that 600 ukrainians died. that would have been visible, bab, definitely, i mean, you can't hide such a number of casualties nowadays, especially in your crime. a so i do think it is an attempt to play up russian success in the week. we're attacked by ukraine, which really, really played very badly in rush separately. constantine, russia and better roofs have announced more joint military exercises. how concerned should we be about minsk joining the war in ukraine? well, i'm willing to bet a few bucks on the fact that this is yet another attempt to present the situation to you cry. and to the world as threatening kind of hinting that eventually bella,
