blink. and gave details on the new way. during a surprise, visit the cave hours earlier, a russian attack on a busy shopping area, an eastern ukraine killed at least 17 people, presidents of a lot of mirrors, the landscape condemned to strike as heinous, evil. to jeff, another attack on ukraine city. this time on a crowded market in constantinople. at the 17 people were killed here by a russian missile says he craned among them to child on this, the deadly backdrop to us secretary of state entity blinking 4th visit. the keeps ends to start of rushes invasion. ukraine's counter offensive was at the top of the agenda. last week. can you rejected us media reports suggesting progress on the front lines was too slow, but there were no signs of tension during blankets, visit ukraine's president, instead of striking a grateful town. as usual rate,

you'd see around lincoln also met with prime minister denise me hall and foreign minister at the mutual coordinate of our team to show we're united front, we praise the ukrainian effort to push the russians back. we see the progress of the counter offensive. very hard, we want to make sure that the frame has what it needs, not only to succeed in the counter offensive, but as what it needs for the long to make sure that it has a strong return. strong defense capacity is blinking announced a new aid package. worth over $1000000000.00. the u. s. has delivered or pledge more than $43000000000.00 to ukraine and military aid, including air defense systems. wednesdays, brutal attack says just how important the support group was bought on the for the don't lose max under isn't cave and has more on what this age

package consists of. to write, publish a $1000000000.00 us dollars, quite a significant sound. so you can imagine there's quite a few items on that list just to name a few. so the united states has pledge to provide ukraine with munition for its highmark system. that is a rocket launcher system that was provided to crane last year and has proven very efficient and attacking russian positions munitions, depos a command post far behind enemy lines and other item um that the ukrainians are in dire need of and that the americans now will provide is further artillery, how the addition 105 millimeter, and 155 milli meter rounds. this is the ukrainians have been depleting their artillery stockpiles. the munition stock pals and nato countries are you are being part of that particular have had issues of restocking and manufacturing enough to to, to provide some ukrainians. and another item among,

among others. the united states has pledge to bolster cranes, air defense capabilities. now we don't know exactly what that means, but it's certainly needed here. and ukraine, as just as i've seen, russia continues to attack various cities and ukraine with drones and cruise missiles, almost on a daily basis. that mike's the package also includes depleted uranium weapons, so they're controversial with so i'm saying that they pose unintended health risks is ukraine's government. they're all concerned about this. all right, so someone say this is perhaps a further escalation in what type of weaponry is provided to ukraine. but this is not the 1st time that the depleted uranium weapons will be sent to ukraine. the united kingdom has provided challenger to tanks earlier this year. and alongside with it, the thousands of, of, of, of shelves with depleted uranium. now i'm just to give you a little bit of context. these weapons are made of a very heavy material that is intended to um,

with mainly talking about tank shells that are intended to pierce armor and ignite and impact. so they are very effective at long ranges, and they are not intended to poison people, but rather pierce piers armor of tags. so this has been used by the united states, for example, for decades. now, the pentagon says there are no worries. there shouldn't be any, any worries about this, but they haven't used in various stages of war such as iraq, for example, and cause of what there has been limited research into hazards. the you to do is depleted uranium. that is, that is correct. and there are some, some, some issues concerning, concerning the aftermath. so if it's chapel, for example, is being being handled, if this would most likely happen in a post war scenario. so it is, there are, there are concerns. but right now, the main concern would be getting passed russian fortifications. thanks much corresponding mcsaunder in k for us. the race to find water on the moon is gathering pace. several countries are trying to stake
