ukraine itself, that is, they were issued, in fact, by the western intelligence services of the western armyors and so on. but you take this from a military point of view, and among the logical ones is the local authorities did it then kuchma then yushchenko yanukovych freedom who created yanukovych why are we silent about it? then poroshenko and the current zelensky of some presidents, who ideologically helped to create all this by the americans, gave money, then they gave instructors, and initially this is the power that came to ukraine, they all this do, that's why i say the word history. maybe, if he took it very deeply, but if you take it, starting from the ninety-first year, then the authorities were directly involved in this. she was preparing a bridgehead, again against whom against the russians? it's like territory. i take the word russian not as ethnos, i try to use the word russian by people who live in russia, but i call them all russians. i don't want to offend anyone. excuse me yes? no. well it is clear. we really very often use russian russians as synonyms. well someone prefer

the putin army is as well trained as the western army. so it will be bloody for them. i hope they will not succeed. this is a powerful country steamrolling ukraine. the germans are still paying russia for gas. we are still paying for uranium and nuclear fuel and president biden announced he will continue to pay russia. remember president biden's family got a half million dollars from russia. he's not willing to impose sanctions on people who are feeding his family. stealing their boats can hardly become sanctions. dan: thanks for coming on with us. we deeply appreciate it. the u.s. is sending state of the art drones to ukraine. pete hegseth will react next. this is xfinity rewards. our way of showing our appreciation. with rewards of all shapes and sizes.

they are more like a western army now than the russian army that's invading them. they understand the humanity that's involved. what a soldier is supposed to do in terms of defending their homeland and defending the people of their homeland, that russian side is just destroying and killing and attempting to undercut an entire society and its culture. but, i keep going back to the point, you now have soldiers trying to play various roles. they have to make a choice between fighting the enemy and taking care of the 2 million, 3 million refugees that are scurrying out of their towns because of the terrorist attacks that russia is executing. that's where it starts getting tough. and just like russia doesn't have a whole lot of manpower to actually occupy these cities, they're going to continue to bombard them from afar, so ukrainian forces have to make that decision between fighting the russians' territorial defense and solving the humanitarian crisis that putin has distributed to this nation. that's the tough call for commanders on the field. >> great to have you both

you know, western armies are far different from the way the russian military is organized. and part of this plan all along may have been to in circle civilian areas, to slowly shell them, to trump civilians, to break the back of the resistance here, that still very likely, they don't seem like they're stopping. again, it seems like every time we sort of take a look, and step back, they are doubling down on not only scaring the population, but trying to displace the population. look, if vladimir putin can make this unlivable and ungovernable country, and he succeeded in his goal, he doesn't need to conquer the entire country to make it unlivable, he seems well in his way to doing that. >> kabul, for a let you go, when you talk to ukrainians, what is your sense of what they believe the u.s., other western allies need to be doing now? >> well, when you talk to people here, they'll say the u.s. needs to do more. that news to put in a no-fly zone, that they need to protect civilians, that they need him on this convoy. that's reflective of people who are underneath bombs, that ar

western armies are far different than what the military has organized. along may have been to in circle civilian areas. to slowly shell them. to trump civilians. to break the back of the resilience here. it's still very likely that they don't seem that there is stopping. again, it seems that every time we sort of, take a step back up, we're doubling down. and they're trying to displace the population. if flattery or putin can make it an unlivable and ungovernable country, then he has succeeded. he doesn't have to conquer the entire country to make it unlivable. and he's on his way to do that. >> when you talk to ukrainians, what is your sense of what they believe the u.s. and the western allies need to be doing now? >> when you talk to people here, they say the u.s. needs to do more. that nato needs to put in a no fly zone. they need to protect civilians, bomb the convoy. that is reflective of the people who are underneath bombs who are flying on top of them. if you are -- you would do anything to make it stop. anything to protect your family. the politi

the last eight years into a much more decentralized method of command and control, which most western armies, the u.s., the brits, would recognize immediately. you don't have one guy sitting in a bunker with the phones and radios giving orders to all the different fighters. it is captains, majors, colonels, mayors directing the fighting everywhere. the russians don't have that either, so you have got leaders. the ones who survived our 2014 and 2015 to lift the first terrible fighting that are leading battalions and regiments, they learned and it is paying off. ms. haring: i have heard anecdotally that the u.s. military has great respect for the ukrainian armed forces with what they see now. is that true? lt. gen. hodges: the first several rotations we did we had paratroopers and the 73rd airborne brigade, the first ones working with the ukrainian soldiers, but the training center starting in 2015 it, i remember the ncos, are sergeants from as airborne brigade, said sir, these guys are amazing. they had a lot of respect because of a combat experience and how skillful and adaptive the ukrainia

so for fake news spreads spreading by western media and western governments. the russian army did not bomb m maternity hospital in mighty open or anywhere else. that maternity hospital had been occupied by the us off nationalists. but de leon, since the end of february let is about 10 days before the alleged ah, born, big ha, took place out there and they kicked out old. all the doctors, all the pregnant women, all the newborn babies and established themselves inside that maternity hospital that it is a fact that is actually if you look closely, even do the year after the video footage of the situation there are, don't you have any questions? why after this bombing old with that he's in the garden in front of the maternity hospital on the left standing. why there's only one single, ostensibly pregnant woman being carried by people who have nothing to do with the medical profession and nobody else. well, and the, the house behind that, the building behind them is vacant. there is nobody else does differ that i'm clear and i understand because you're saying that there was one on

my son was relocated to the western ukraine by his father. my boyfriend joined the army. ojoin the territorial defence, and now he's helping evacuate people. i did come to see my son a day ago, just to double check on him and talk to him and calm him down a little bit. i will have to go back to kyiv, though, unfortunately. but staying away from your loved ones is one of the biggest challenges, of course, for everyone, for us here. i miss my son a lot. now i'm seeing him, but i will have to leave again soon. i miss my boyfriend so badly. i randomly get messages from him, but i never know where he is, if he's safe, and that is of course extreme pressure, yeah. those are incredibly difficult conversations to have. do you think vladimir putin is serious about peace talks, and do you think is that partly why president zelensky wants to meet him in person so he can actually make thatjudgment? there is something... i actually talked to my boyfriend this morning, and he's with the army and he wanted me to say this. he says please say thank you to liz truss if you can for saying wh

you are now seeing western european countries sending troops to the border of eastern european countries, jets to support the ukrainian armyean pilots, i should say — but that's the problem. nato can do a lot of defending and may well expand as a result of this, asjohn said, into sweden and finland, potentially even one day into ukraine, many years from now, once we figure out how this settles. of course the problem is they don't want to escalate this. they don't want to go to that next level and send european troops in to support this war. so the outcome, long—term... emotions are high, and of course people support nato, but longer term, will this last? it may well have some after—effects. but five or ten years from now, nato may well again be marginalised. but people may not forget this. this is a really traumatic moment. you said emotions are high. i have spoken to people in the us who've said, actually, public opinion is not greatly moved by this at the moment. i wonder whether having seen american troops coming back from afghanistan only last summer, whether there really is any desire in america to see those troopss w

the nato countries are planning to build their own many army for western europe. we have to be able to react. and one of the ways to react rapidly is the e u rapid deployment capacity that has been agreed. we cannot act alone. we want to act in a more coordinated way among us and we want to act in a more integrated way with our partners. acting in complementarity with nato, which remains certainly the cornerstone of the territorial defense of europe. but some in america can smell some foul play. the war drums are beating very heavily because look, it's a great distraction from the political crisis. it rallies everybody around the military, industrial complex, and the media complex as well. what we have is, unfortunately, democrats, republicans, the mainstream media, the washington elite, essentially in the pocket of the military industrial complex, with every war and every conflict, raphael profits multiply, raytheon profits, multiply as bombs fall on schools, wedding tents, hospitals, homes and communities living breathing human beings are being killed, lives are

in providing military sports. china has already said quite clearly that they oppose the western europe, u. s. army, putting more arms into ukraine as they see it as adding oil to a fire. so it would be hypocritical if they were to start helping russia in terms of economics. nothing has changed. you know, from china's perspective, the u. s. this, in essence engineered a tragedy. the russians have also been told by meeting another country. but when you get down to it, to roles, do not make a right. so at this point, trying to is looking for an off ram for this a believe it has to be diplomatic. how it be any other way, pushing vladimir putin and his country to the brink of regime change. economic disaster is not a good idea, given that it has the largest pile of nuclear weapons. so at this juncture, yes, china thinks it's about diplomacy. not about the us trying to engineer a narrative that china is somehow at fault for nato expanding into areas that it said it was. china was the number one trade partner of ukraine in 2019. and it has a strategic interest in ukraine for its belgian road. initiative,

the russian army, of course. western leaders did not necessarily anticipate the ukrainian army to hold out for this long. they thought that, by now, they might be arming an insurgency rather than a full-on military with incredibly complex needs, like air defense systems, like those fighter jets, um, like hundreds and thousands of rounds of ammunition. um, so that is one of the big questions here and that is what zelenskyy has been pleading for, of course, is if you can't implement a no-fly zone, if you are refusing to do so, then at least give us what we need to close our own skies and take back control of our country. and of course, key to that will be those air defense systems which, of course, he did ask for again yesterday. um, but look. the leaders here -- they are saying -- they are staying steadfast in their opposition to putting any kind of nato forces on the ground or in the skies in ukraine. and they said that they are willing to maintain that support to ukraine, but really it remains to be seen whether they ar

just hours after missile strikes hit lviv, just a few miles from the polish border in western ukraine. retired armyr general mark kimmitt with us now as well as thomas graham, distinguished fellow on russian and eurasian affairs. at this point yesterday, we were sitting in front of our audience talking with our viewers and we knew that russia declared this first phase of the war over. and then russian missiles struck there's been so much talk of russia miscalculations and missteps. do you think that is really what is happening, or is russia more on target of what they wanted to do and have something in their back pocket that they were just unsure of? >> i think the first thing we have to ask is, the russian spokesman really talking the truth and telling us the truth. their words and their actions don't seem to connect. for a country that says that they're done with the first phase of the operation, but yet continues to attack the supply lines of the ukrainian forces, as they are being supplied by nato, and continuing to hit lviv and continuing to hit kyiv, i don't think that their words match their

the one is a picture that is frequently painted by western intelligence services of an army that is increasingly bog down on the ground that is dog by logistical and support issues, mechanical breakdown, morale issues, part literally getting stuck in the mud. as the spring thor begins with the sun shining today for the 1st day and several in t. a. for instance, that 40 mile long convoy heading towards key that we had so much about hasn't moved in 6 days. and clearly, the russians having some trouble. marshalling supplies and support for that convoy on the ground, but they are having much better luck with supply routes from air is that they do control across the russian border across the bel russian border out of the eastern breakaway region. so there is movement and there is sustained activity up in the north in sherony, in the car keys, of course that huge eastern city at just near car is you me of a place between even the russian border that they are trying to encircle and bombs have ripped through these buildings in central car cave. the area is silent and brutally scarred. shrapnel has rippe

it is still the assessment of western military intelligence, indeed, also of the general staff of ukraine's army that russia is not making significant gains on the ground because of a combination of supply and logistics problems. but russia still able, nevertheless, to project great force over very large areas with missile strikes and strikes. indeed, as we saw on sunday with russia whitening the scope of its war escalating significantly, bringing a tax all the way up to the west of ukraine posted where i am here. very close to d to the polish border, an e u, a nato border that with an attack on a military training academy killing at least 35 ukrainian soldiers there. so that's the sort of context in which all of this is going on. talks happening, we understand now a 4th round of talks at the level of ministers and deputy ministers on both sides. remember the 1st 3 sets of talks that happened on the ukranian parish border. this one happening by video conference format. and indeed, we're told now that these sorts of contexts between negotiate is by video conference happening daily. trying to buil

have a question, comrade spitz admiral and what is the interest shown by western intelligence in the reforms of the russian armye latest type of weapons is not enough and the reason is not to get excited admiral, we heard your signal, we have prepared a set of anti-sabotage measures that is why i arrived urgently here, let's get to work. so for sure, what i will tell you now should remain forever between us. in connection with the possibility of loading a reconnaissance sabotage group into the region, exercises were announced in the district, the purpose of the exercises was to identify wealth in the protection of strategic facilities and exclude the possibility of enemy penetration into them. order number 00:00 215 to the captain, second rank tarasov, is ordered to immediately arrive at the borders of the closed administrative-territorial formation of fedoseev and, under the guise of a lone terrorist, secretly penetrate the borders of the military unit 23:059, without posing as returning to the starting position plan operations to develop and implement tarasov personally , the involvement of third parties is u

many ukrainian drivers have joined the army and that makes some european freight forwarders, unavailable, and routes between western europe and asia that go through russia cannot be used for transporting goods due to the war that through continent traditional extreme shipping costs are really high often. and there's also very little capacity when you come to on top of that, there's the fact that no goods can be moved by the trans siberian railway line would kind of that's because it goes through russian territory. what is to be fuel? folk goods are set to become very expensive. the few freight planes that can transport goods without any restrictions are forced to go around russian aerospace, when they fly between asia and europe. saga miss amazing. the plains have to fly considerably longer roots over there and they need more fuel to do. so that means that logistics companies need to pay more in transportation, cause it, and then pass onto their customers. at the end, prices on supermarket shells will go up and it also means goods deliveries could become less reliable. right now. cooking oil and electronics from as
