down across ukraine. the ukranian defense ministry says many were shot down, but emergency blockades were put in place and many regions due to damage to energy infrastructure. ukraine's president says, the latest talks a proof that only fighting back can stop russia towards those openly. there it is it possible to stop russian terror? yes, it is. auction you can it be done, other than on the battlefield and ukraine, more than unfortunately, no, you can and must be done on our land. what in our sky, what sleeve does what is needed? got the weapons that our partners have in their warehouses and our warriors are waiting for that could be seen as a message to germany, which is mulling weather to deliver leopard, to baffle tanks to ukraine. on saturday, the u. k. up the pressure by announcing it was sent challenger 2 times. they will
2:07 pm
be the 1st advanced tanks given to ukraine by its allies since the war began. and as we were saying earlier, russian president vladimir putin claims that the war is going in the right direction for his country. so ass marina miran, a defense analyst with kings college london. what she makes about well, i think right now we're witnessing a turning moment in the war militarily. first of all, after the capture of sold a dog by the wagner group and the russian forces. so this might break the strategic initiatives as a ukrainian force as a having on the other hand, russia is striking, ukraine's a critical infrastructure again. and this time allegedly was ballistic missiles, meaning ukraine doesn't have the necessary air defenses. and this will put a lot of pressure on western allies to supply not only tanks, but also new equipment, new era, defense systems. and right now we're witnessing
2:08 pm
a lot of disagreements among snape members. as far as this is concerned. so what put in is trying to do is to exhaust both the ukrainian leadership, the ukrainian population, and obviously the resources that the weston allies have and just focus on the tanks as you were mentioning. is there any indication that other allies will follow the united kingdom and send in more time, more tanks and in time to actually help? well, this is a difficult question because the u. k. pledge to send forth and challenger to tanks, which is a main battle tank in the u. k. this gesture is highly political in order to open the floodgates for as a countries to send leper tanks. and in fact, poland and finland are ready to send leper to tanks. however, without trim and approval, it would be according to the german officials,
2:09 pm
illegal to send those tanks. and now it remains to be seen because it would be the 1st time that western allies are supplying ukraine was offensive weapons. and the other problem is obviously, if you crane receives challenge to tanks, the ukrainian infrastructure, such as bridges are not made for that weight. and labrat tanks are slightly less heavier than the challenger, too. but again, 60 toms is much more than ukranian bridges can support plus, additional supply lines need to be established. an additional crew training training needs to take place. and by the time that happens, the question is, will there the tanks be set useful? and obviously there still have to be a decision made among european allies and germany to send those tanks in the 1st place. ok, thank you for that insight. marina miran from london, london, kings college. thank you. let's have
