attacks continue to ramp up in the eastern part of the country. the british government believes some 15,000 russian troops have been killed since moscow launched its invasion in february the state department has announced a possible $167 million sale of ammunition to ukraine. today, the u.s. will host ukraine defense talks in germany. nbc's matt bradley joins us now from eastern ukraine good morning what can we expect from today's talks, and what is the latest on the fighting in the region >> reporter: we're not expecting much from the meeting today in germany. this is essentially a photo-op, but an important one, symbolic one. this shows solidarity, not just among nato allies but among countries far beyond the borders of nato, who are really ek expressing they're willing to step up for ukraine. that's why this is important the deliverables, the money, the weapons, they are flowing. they're already arriving here in ukraine, ask tnd they're already making their way out east to where i am in zaporizhzhia

we're a couple hours drive from the front lines. this morning, we were woken up by the sound of two cruise missiles flying low over this large city it is a city filled with bridges, as you can see. lots of infrastructure m menacny menaingly, one of the largest european nuclear plants are nearby, which is why it could be a target missiles are flying all over the region as there is this much-an much-anticipated, huge assault on this part of the country. so far, it's been just artillery. the gains on the ground have been modest. jest just in the past 24 hours, we understand from the ukrainian government and british intelligence the russians managed to take the city of slovvena we are months into what is

supposed to be the massive russian assault on the donbas region, which has been fighting a war against russian-backed separatists since 2014 again, if the russians are saying that they're going to be taking lots of land here, they're going to be focusing their power on this part of the country, they haven't really shown any real advances. that's because, as we've been hearing from military experts and others,the russians haven't really left themselves enough time to repair the damage they've inflicted from their attacks in the western part of the country, kyiv, the capital, and around kharkiv, where they're continuing their attacks. instead, it looks as though they're piling all their forces, still unprepared, unorganized, and facing massive logistical challenges, into a newest vault where there is no indication they'll do better than they have that'll add more humiliation for putin. while it could be a victory for ukraine, it could be a dangerous moment it could further humiliate p

vladimir putin and push him into using even more dangerous weapons. >> the uncertainty is the most frightening part thank you, matt. a judge in new york has held donald trump in contempt of court and has ordered the former president to pay $10,000 a day in fines until he hands over documents to the state attorney general. nbc's brie jackson is following this story from d.c. brie, tell us more about what the state is looking for >> reporter: good morning. this all stems from a civil probe of the former president's business practices new york attorney general la latisha james is investigating the trump organization and whether or not the company deliberately inflated the valuations of its real estate holdings to secure loans, while understating them for tax purposes the ag asks for the $10,000 daily fine to compel mr. trump to turn over more documents, including post-it notes used to communicate with employees and two mobile phones he was using while running his business a lawyer for mr. trump say they

intend to appeal the court finding and say all documents responsive to the subpoena were given to the attorney general months ago the attorney also called the probe a political crusade, echoing a criticism often made by the former president. ag latisha james reacted to the ruling, saying today justice prevailed and the investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law. a spokesperson for the state court system said the $10,000 fine took effect yesterday an appellate judge could pause the order pending mr. trump's appeal >> brie, thank you a delegation of house republicans visited a texas border town to warn against the biden administration's plans to lift title l42 that's the trump-era covid restriction that stemmed the flow of migrants coming from mexico for more than two years now. morgan chesky reports from the border. >> reporter: on the southern border, frantic desperation. a shrieking mother plunging into
