different types because each never, we haven't done this before. but of course these, the say i used the games does what if we was at the right to take reciprocal option? i get a canadian, i spoke earlier to data these russia analysts constantine i got to in vilnius and i asked him, what is known about moscow is cluster weapons stockpile? well, i think no one definitely knows it because pressure doesn't want to uh to, to, to, to, to reveal that. but it is a x really big enough to have been used before. and frankly speaking, i think put in is quite sort of um, quite comfortable this time. and he says that he's going to retain retaliate and that he has a supply of these munitions. neither the united states, no rush or no ukraine have signed up dining cluster munitions and now they're being used in this war. i'm absolutely something that puts and has enough of this stuff to continue using it. it gets to graham's,

as he already did actually. and they expect we'll see an increase in their use after deliveries from the u. s. to ukraine last week. yes. yes, i think that puts in who is, but we know that t t of horse being seen as weak quote unquote. he will retaliate massively against a ukrainian use. all 5 of class diminishes. however, this is not new. this happened before both sides of the front. so for him is just a continuation of up. what was there before? not maybe as a man before that, that wasn't as massive as probably is going to become no because it seems that they, you bring that's quite a lot on using these munitions to break through russian defense is and it's called at the end it's counter offensive, but it's definitely, i mean, no big news. the smell, the 1st time that being used. yeah. tell us more about ukraine's counter offensive . where do things stand at the moment?

are they making the gains that they have hope for a look? i think so. the ukrainians definitely did not deliver it yet on any condo, spic tech you la recapture of territories, i was promised that they have managed to liberate, i think up to maybe uh, several uh, several dozens, quite kilometers. maybe bit small now. but still, it is an ongoing process as far as on the stand, and that is what a lot of ministry experts are saying. and that is what was discussed here in the villages during the nato summit. them all the expense of the problem is that the russian forces are really dug in the managed to create quite formidable a permanent stationary defenses. and that is why it's very difficult trains to break through. and that is why present zaleski wanted to use. gloss

diminishes, although it is well quite a risk guessing both for you can use and for the future on your grant as well as i mean, because it's not making great be off. we great, let's also admitted well, thank you very much for that update. that's due to these rush analyst constantino. okay. thank are too hungry now where thousands of people have taken part in budapest, annual pride march for just depends waived rainbow flags and danced and shared as they walked through hungry is capital. but the parade was also a protest against the government's increasing restrictions on the l. g. b t. 2 plus community for officials used so called child protection loss to find a bookshop for displaying a graphic novel. the streets of budapest were wash and the colors of the rainbow. they came to dance to cheer and to be seen in a country which is increasingly imposing controls on it's l. g. b t q plus community. one participant in the crowd held up
