its plans not silence. this is the message of this promotional video by the ukranian army showing soldiers in an unknown medication. as you cream, noticed, attacks and several areas in the east of the country on monday, they are remaining tight lips on the scale of the appliance related counter offensive against russia. this video released for ukrainian forces. so as the flight team has intensified in the mood, which is low being at the epicenter of the ongoing conflict, ukrainian presidents loved him. is lensky, praise the bonuses of his troops bucking what's getting up now heading to be moved? well, don't worry, as we see how hysterically brush it reacts to any action. we take the old positions, we take,

the enemy knows that ukraine will win when they see it when they feel it. thanks to your strikes, maria's particularly in net region of the thank you for that. jack was upset most go release the own during footage of ukrainian tanks, launching and attacking the don't that screeching russian officials said earlier on tuesday. so they had to say it's another large scale offensive inflicting huge losses on ukrainian troops while fighting continues on the ground, there's an increasingly phase information will going on. claims and counts exclaims about the will make assessing the situation very difficult. mike boston is a senior fellow at kings college london and a former purchase on the officer. he told us how he reads the situation. i think i think there's 2 things going on. on the ukrainian side, they are actually announcing things off to they've already happens. so if they say that they are increasing offense of operations that these 3 days ago,

they started increasing their side stock prices. and on the russian side, the russians have a real problem in bell as well as i think square, you tried the rather the russian freedom legion is, is on russian territory and taking russian villages. so russia is talking about anything except for the incursions into his own territories. so that's how i read both the crating and the russian statements. well, the thing about the quote is the russians have for the last 6 months, been obsessed with capturing it. and now they have captured it, and they largely did that with the vault and private military company involved. and i have not pulled out and left large areas of back move to russian army forces who are not as good friends. he knows as aggressive as of all the troops. and so the trainings are focusing on that a because it's important to the russians, but be because they're able to reverse some of those gains because it's all gonna change the price with lower quality russian army troops. and what this does is it

creates problems between the wagner mass series and the russian army. on the other hand, as they have a kind of a competition between themselves and the ukrainians, are focusing on buffalo to explore competition. this is not going to be like accounts for that. so when the film wired office offices stands up and blows whistle and everyone goes over the top, we'd like you to see what we're seeing now. just a rolling series of different activities in this area. and that's the area on the accompanying announcements by the ukrainians, or merely meant to push the russians in one direction to think about that or in the other direction we. we also shouldn't take too much weight from them that just mainly parts of the psychological gain ukrainians. a problem with the russians. i don't think there's going to be a big start to this i think is just going to continue over the summer. and then they, you kind of identify an area where they can push and see through the rush lines. and then they will like martin is speaking to us now the mattress key photonics. let's go, says bloss hud,

early on to stay with the sounds of defense systems repelling and attack on the craning capital. meanwhile, missile strike hits the center of ukraine, 2nd largest city, high p, leaving a large freights in the road and damage and water pipes, and nearby buildings. fighting has intensified in recent days. as you cranes launched attacks on russian troops in eastern parts of the country. as of now at some of the stories making headlines around the world, the palestinian toddler, he was shocked by is rarely troops last week has died from his injuries. the 2 year old and his father was both soft while riding in a car in the west bank. they is rarely ministry said soldiers opened fire in response to gunmen shooting. as a jewish settlement nearby, present in president luis announced you let the silver has unveiled his government's plan to end. the 1st station in the amazon by 2030 meshes include

strengthening law enforcement against environmental crimes plan follows the flags made by a new list for you just as a job. also not right to end. the forest ation globally. when you to do for me is vice president mike pins has dictated his candidacy for the 2024 republican presidential nomination. this pitts pens against this for my allied. donald trump, the current republican frontrunner the to have been a bit to rival, since pens refuse to support from in the final days of his presidency during the january 6th capital. the tech has now joins a growing list of high profile candidates. as deputy is mikayla to start is following the story for us from washington. we all service my pens has what it takes to beach donald trump for the republican nomination. well, the very so on. so right now would be no,

but that's what everybody's thoughts. just the head of a trunks nomination and for the 2016 elections. so mike pins, he fell from grace really with all trump supporters. and donald trump still has round about a set of republicans who will back him no matter what mike pins is internationally . the most recognizable name nikki haley is also in the race. she also was part of the trumpet ministration as the un ambassador for the united states. but that's when it really starts to fizzle out. and in terms of polling its thoughts even earlier than that, because mike pins and the katie are both hovering round about 4 percent of the polling in support. when you ask republican voters at rome, desantis for the florida gulf from that is just the round about 20. and donald trump has more than 50 percent support at this moment in time. so the polls are suggesting that we might well see if we run between joe biden. pretty much

uncontested in the democrats. come on, donald trump, himself. that's if and it's a big is donald trump doesn't run into such serious legal trouble that either across his public support, you could even see him behind boss or sentence in any way or form of a january 6th. and over him. basically asking for those votes in georgia and over keeping those files at home, not to mention the house money payments. so there's a lot that could we can donald trump, but he has no strong contender for the republican nomination. right now. gemini, and an easier have agreed to strengthen the defense corporation. vast includes becoming a joint ministry exercise with other states in the in the pacific german defense, minnesota bars. the story is touring the region which is currently the scene of pricing security concerns. the german defense minister arrived in jakarta to an

the 2 sides also talked about holding joint military maneuvers in the future. but those could look like is currently being demonstrated at the committee though 2023 name alexis is just getting started either of the end and easy an island of. so the way z dozens of nations and taking thoughts, they once described as a trust building opportunity, including russia, china and the united states. the lack of trust between washington and beijing, especially over the issue of ty. one is it goes with concern. the story is called on them to keep to ok because otherwise the space for misunderstandings on and the risk for escalations really would even increase. both of them knows that you know that and therefore i'm quite sure that we'll get back to the table. the last stop on this story is to is india, another potential purchaser of gym and made weapons. and another country gemini,
