i called hodges. hodge called the marines. this is a war to understand the tarantine is resting.. so, i know that this is all and yes, indeed half, for example, of the same three sevens. e, out of order yes of them 25% out of order due to technical reasons, and 25% is a human factor. yes uh, i don't want to be there, how scary it is with this information, well, first of all, there are three weeks out of 110 three sevens. we have 40 out of order, of which 20 were out of order, because our gunners did not read the instructions on how to transport them or operate them. how to transport? well, i just, as they say, uh, my mind goes off when i listen to this character's power, because, well, first of all, you need to understand. uh, what are we dealing with light alloy galloping, and three sevens are for the marines just because the definition of the united states of america presents other needs than the normal, let 's say, european ground armies. well, simply, because the united states, by definition, this island, respectively, will be long, and they don’t particularly need wear and t

ok from a us military commander anthony advice that with human rights past been hodges. thank you. thank you. that is so activists supporting the rounds wave of women lead protests of hocked estates, television, live news, broadcast, superimpose and flames. on the face of supreme leader, i add to the early harmony, the blood of our youth is on your hands. ready? messy, don't scream. meanwhile, you shadow social media also appears to show female students chanting, racy, get lost during the visit to university, other countries, precedents. the brain rising, it follows forms of protests after the death of 22 year old muslim meaning. while she was in the custody of the rounds, relatives that around v g much uses foreigners of insides in the protest. and last week announced that it had arrested 9. you appear nationals, while the operability may be in question, it's clear the people outside the run are outraged by the islamic republics treatment of women. over the weekend, thousands of them took to the streets around the world. ah, freedom for aidan is what these protested in london are

ben hodges, former commander of the u. s. army in europe told me earlier how he thought they should respond to the russian missile strikes. well, of course of the leaders of the g. 7 nations, as well as every other international body, need to loudly and clearly condemn rushes, murder of innocent ukrainian civilians. these are war crimes that are happening in plain sight, and we need to talk about them as war crimes and every single officer and person, it's anywhere in the chain of command of the launching of the missiles. their name needs to be published. the whole world should know who they are. now words of course, are not enough. all of us have got to continue to find ways to protect these european civilians who are being murdered. russian missiles that means more air defense systems. now ukraine's foreign minister says, monday strikes are a sign of russian desperation following setbacks on the battlefield. do you agree with that general? i completely agree with that. i mr. columbus, correct. look, the the russian milit

and ben hodges clearly said that the united states will forced to answer, he did not reveal all theit is a complex answer and that is where putin is. as far as i understand, grokki is in a state. i think that he somehow understands eh , all these warnings came from him. my opinion is that they reached putin. absolutely certainly eh and it’s not by chance that this is the very canon in general, there is a little bit left until november with putin there, president zelensky, even the decision of discretionary representatives, that is, catherine, was forbidden to hold negotiations very much, and plus there he said that we would negotiate, of course, with the second president, that was the president, if we were to talk . putin will certainly hold such negotiations for some time, understanding how serious the demands addressed to him will be and, let's say, it will be turned out of these agreements, everything will be more difficult, but now he zaintessovyvaet he will initiate the demand and will agree with the west through the organization, well, to hold a meeting there, i don’t know, wi

, general ben hodges, told me about this. he said that other countries, such as north korea and china, will be watching this the reaction is exactly why terrorist attacks should be very tough let's listen to where it is i think that russia's nuclear weapons are most effective when they don't use them i mean that the very fact of the threat - that's what makes everyone else hesitate to take certain actions we basically hold ourselves back because of anxiety as for what russia can do, this is what i mean when i say that russian nuclear weapons are most effective when they are not used, as soon as they use them, it will be over, then they will be crushed, so i think the best way to avoid such a possibility is to do what we are already doing, make it clear that we will not tolerate such a step, the answer will be a price and it will be devastating, therefore our signals should be directed not so much to putin as to his entourage, to those who have the most to lose or have something to lose if they have any hope of living after pu

scenarios of deterring russian nuclear and missile aggression, our guests will be lieutenant general ben hodge with the former commander of the united states ground forces on the european continent and mark fagin, an iconic video blogger a former member of the state duma, a member of the russian opposition, talked about complex scenarios of conventional and non-conventional deterrence of russian nuclear and missile aggression, we will talk with lieutenant general ven hodis, he is the former commander of the united states ground forces on the european continent. i congratulate you, mr. generals. glory to ukraine, we understand that russia has switched to the tactics of massive missile strikes. in your opinion, what does this mean for the russian federation? military resources and, in general, how is it possible to stop the destruction of civilian objects in ukraine now, there are three things that must happen: first, joint condemnation of russia's actions by all the world leaders, every government, every head of government, every international organization must condemn the kremlin for those war

for frankness on the air of the espresso tv channel, i want to remind our viewers that general ben hodgesd for them on the air of the studio, the former commander of the united states ground forces in europe thank you to the continent. i always enjoy watching your broadcasts. well, now we are joined by mark feigin, a former deputy of the state duma of the russian federation, a member of the russian opposition in exile, a well- known video blogger. i congratulate mark in the studio of the espresso tv channel. very clear signals to putin regarding tactical nuclear weapons putin sat down, but in his favorite traditions, he did not stray from the topic and moved on to what to massive missile strikes on civilians the infrastructure of ukraine well, i still think that this is due to the hopelessness of the situation because, uh, look at it first, since september, it was extremely aggravated for him due to the success of the kharkiv operation, which the armed forces of ukraine for him emphasize the internal situation. of the demands addressed to him to stop the defeat at the front, but for the s

thank you for joining me tonight, miss hodges.monument like this is the first of its kind. the date is also significant as this event came two days after the anniversary of the preliminary emancipation proclamation, the document was issued by president abraham lincoln on september 22nd 1862, that set a date for the end of slavery. first of, all congratulations on finally being able to see this project coming to fruition. but talk to me about what this monument intends to represent. how does it tell the story of the contributions african americans have made to the u.s. military? >> thank you so much, reverend sharpton, for having me on your show. african american veterans have, as you, said a serve this country since the revolutionary war. visitors come to this monument and will experience a shared history that includes significant achievements of african american veterans and all branches of the armed forces. this monument is intended to honor and all the sacrifice and resilience that african americans have given to this nation wh

, and ben hodges clearly said that the united states will be forced to respond he did not reveal alln a state. i think that he somehow understands, uh, all these warnings came from him. my opinion is that they reached putin, definitely, of course. eh, and it’s no coincidence that this is the canon. in general, there is a little bit left until november. president zelensky, even a discretionary decision is issued from kateryn, it was forbidden to conduct negotiations very much, and plus there he said that we will negotiate, of course, with the second president, they were talking . i think this is how it is done now. for some time, he was definitely unfreezing from such negotiations, realizing how seriously the demands would be addressed to him , and eh, let's say so, eh, it turns out from those agreed, everything will be more difficult, but now he will integrate these, he will initiate the demand a-a will come to an agreement with the west through gorodogan, well, to hold a meeting there, i don’t know, within the framework of this, the twenty-somethings themselves put it together, or f

and ben-hodges he clearly said that the united states will be forced to respond, he did not reveal allresponse, and this is where putin is. as far as i understand, in the state of money, i think that he somehow he understands, eh, all these warnings came from him. my opinion of putin is that they gave unconditionally, of course, eh, and it is not by chance that this is the very canon. in general, there is a little bit left until november. met about holding negotiations not with kiev, poskov kiev refuses any negotiations with putin there, president zelensky, even the solution of discretionary payments from kateryn was forbidden to negotiate at all, and plus there he said we will negotiate, of course yes with the second the president was the president if we were going to talk. i think the bet is now made, we need to talk with the west, that is, with biden, that is, putin, eh, for some time, he certainly cooled off from such negotiations, understanding how seriously the demands addressed to him would be, and eh, let's say so uh, it’s getting out of these things, everything will be more di

i called hodges. hodge called the marines.ar to understood tarantino is resting uh-huh that's yes , indeed half, for example, of the same three sevens. e, out of order yes, of them 25% out of order due to technical reasons, and 25% is the human factor for the first 3 weeks out of 110 three sevens there. we have 40 out of order, of which 20 are out of order, because our gunners did not read the instructions in which to transport any to operate, but how to transport and when 109 are working all guns for 40 km fly instantly. uh-huh german shell 2.000, which i thought the best tool in the world. after 5-70 rows, it is necessary for 40 km. he's out of order. approximately, like my mother with a computer, when she calls and says, prices are necessary. here i have something here, i pressed something and everything was gone. interestingly, this is all, of course, to the question, and mercenaries. yes, it is interconnected, because western appliances require care maintenance. yes , it requires the ability to handle it, therefore, it’s

ok from a us military commander anthony advice, i would human rights best been hodges. thank you. thank you. and you are up to date here on dw speech and from one use at the top of the hour. ah imagine how many portion of lunch us heard out in the world climate change very hard to storage. this is my plan, the way from just one week how much was going to really get we still have time to work. i'm going on with the thoughts they will grey. you will be with this week on world stories, debating head scarves in indonesia fighting over water in the united states. we began in poland, where the nazis deported more than a 1000000 people to auschwitz, to be murdered. a collection tries to preserve the memory of the victims honoring those whose last steps led here the mountain of shoes at auschwitz, birkenau, especially those from little feet, is a sight. no one can forget. but few visitors to the former nazi death camp will have to remember what survivor aria pinsky does. this is all this last of these children. i'm wondering if some are from one of my siblings penske a recalls the day he

ben hodges there. let's get a round up of some other world news headlines now. for israelis and palestinians have been injured in a gun attack in the west bank city of hebron. security forces shot dead d. a silent israel is the government open fire near a checkpoint in the city, which is home to hotline jewish settlers. at least 29 people have been killed by 2 car bombs in the somali capital market tissue. the attacks took place as the prison prime minister and other top officials met to discuss efforts to combat violent extremism. the oldest prisoner, the u. s. guantanamo bank facility and cuba has been allowed home to pakistan, save her child was detained in 2003, and accused of financing day. i'll kind of jihad of the group, he's always maintained. his innocence. south africa is celebrating the coronation of a new king of the zulus. king missiles, hulu is the 9th into the monarch and the 1st to be crowned in democratic south africa. thousands of revelers joined the festivities in durban presidency rover. i'm opposed to has given mrs. do low official recogniti

s. military command on senior vice i with human rights, fast bed hodges. hello, ben. it's good to have you with us. now. you greenhouse celebrated the attack but has still not claimed responsibility for it. even when most experts are pointing fingers. i bet now, could i be some type of war strategy, or could ukraine really be, you know, sense of it? well, it's, it's nothing i don't know if the word innocence is correct. i mean, this is where our war ukraine is a war with russia. and so things like bridges, logistical lines of communication. those are legitimate targets, unlike the civilians who are murdered last night around the shop or reach about russian missiles, right? what we're really matters here though is the effect. what, what does this do? this will make it more difficult for russia to bring in logistical support armored vehicles into crimea from the russian mainland. and i also demonstrates once again that russians have not been able to protect their rear area, the radians have continuously been hitting logistics, which is a good way. busy to do great russi

we had from been hodges and they were basically kind of giving some detail what they would expect. the u. s. results to be if nuclear weapons were used, they were, they were very clear. say they were speaking in a personal capacity. they hadn't been told to do so, but the fact that we've seen these 2, general se valley kind of similar things in give one of detail has raised questions here and key of whether there is a kind of signal being sent to moscow indirectly by these retired figures and you have had reports, people here trying to find out what to do if nuclear weapons used what kind of strategies to employ, what kind of id, tablets rather kind of measures could help them. so there is a sense that this is a real possibility, but it's not changing behave does no sense. the ukraine is now suddenly thinking about coming to table and kind of giving in to russian demands to avoid this. but it is certainly something it is gonna be a foreign people's minds right now at a time where things already not looking good for that inclusion. we'll have more on that response to the nuclear thr

pierce brosnan and aldis hodge.> aldis, i want to start with you. i was just asking you -- this is a great story. so as you just saw dwayne johnson plays black adam. he is also an executive producer on the movie so he makes some of the decisions. >> yes. >> apparently he called you to tell you you got the part. and what did you do? >> i almost hung up on him in a very fashionable way. no, so, look, somebody had been playing with my phone. i thought somebody was crank calling me. i was also in the middle of quarantine. emotions was running hot. he calls me, you know, and i hadn't heard from production in a couple weeks now so i thought i didn't get the job. he calls me. hey, it's dwayne johnson. i'm like, look, bro, stop playing with me. i don't have the time for this. i'm in my feels. a lot going on. don't -- not today. it's not the day. no, for real it's me. bro, the cops is going to know too. we on you. but, no, we -- once i finally got to a place of believing him, he says, welcome to "black adam." i was like, oh,

earlier we spoke to former, he was military commander, ben hodge. i asked him if he thought russia's reasons for pulling out of the agreement were plausible. this is ridiculous. so the russians of course, have been murdering innocent ukrainian civilians for months now with missile strike against ukrainian towns and destroying ukrainian power or energy infrastructure. the fact that ukraine may have launched drones against military targets and some estoppel is nothing that would be gentleman. reason for russia to stop enabling the delivery of grain. 2 millions of people didn't need it. now russia claims that the you k and maybe other western powers or of all the tax on it ships . what you make of this. i think this is another, a fairy tale that comes out of the kremlin. and interestingly, i don't, i don't think that any serious person believes any of these reports that come from the criminal. they have, you know, they have been exposed as being lies or distortions. now for so long that nobody gives them any credibility. of course the west has been hel

well, if you think that hodge spitreus are such opinions of distraught generals, then i can disappointthose who usually call for restraint in the united states, so to speak, ranking national interests according to their degree of importance and existentiality, and those who consider themselves to be members of the school of political realism, argue in approximately the same words. here , listen to the words of the patriarch of american foreign policy, henry kinsor, and what he said during dialogue with the president of the council on foreign relations in the united states, richard hassan listen we do not want to allow a russian victory, we must prevent it in any case, especially if nuclear weapons are used, we cannot allow nuclear weapons to become conventional and i hope that an adequate response is elaborated carefully, because it is not only about immediate consequences, but also claims to use such force and its legitimization. so that we cannot allow russia after it uses nuclear weapons to achieve, results, against which we have been before and therefore we are striving to prevent

that was ben hodge, its former commander of the u. s. army in europe. now, germany has condemned the latest russian attacks and is promising to speed up delivery of a long awaited air defense system. to ukraine, government says the 1st anti missile battery should arrive within days. this air defense system, the iris t. s l m, an intercept. any air attacks within a 40 kilometer range and up to 20 kilometers high and can protect a large area on the ground. germany promised them to ukraine in june. and keith has been waiting ever since. but now the 1st system is about to arrive. german defense minister, christina lamb, correct, said it had become a matter of urgency. germany will deliver the 1st of 4 iris t. s l m ad defend systems to ukraine within days. the renewed miss our fi on keith and many other cities shows how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickly. but the other 3 units will only be delivered next year. crashes attacks on civilian targets across ukraine, drove home to germany, just how important it support for keith is

alright, well that was for me was military commander and senior advisor with human rights for its been hodge. thank you for your insights. thank you. are all right, turning to the philippines now, where a tropical storm killed at least 45 people, dozens more. are injured storm. no guy has no storm. no guy, rather excuse me. ever rains were cause severe. landslide and flooding. emergency teams are racing to rescue survivors. and deliver aid their counting their death amidst the rubble of a village. now washed away the earth beneath their feet. a death trap. as flash, floods turned rocks, trees, and dirt into a sea of gloomy mud. as rescue efforts continue, authorities take stock of the carnage. now guy unleashed on the southern mike in the now province. amidst the gloom, a ray of light as authorities on saturday, revised down the number of dead after discovering that some had been counted twice . with gusts, maxing out at around 130 kilometers an hour. it's unrelenting rainfall, rather than the lashing winds that's causing the most damage, knots, and rescue workers. scrambling to evacuate tho

assumptions about specific military capabilities that the biden administration has, yes, general ben-hodgesour friend and i have a lot of respect for general petraeus, they are not speaking on behalf of the administration, the administration is going to keep its plans to itself and will not disclose too much. i think that the administration will very seriously come up with all possible options and putin must understand this, or is there a prospect of bringing china to the side of civilized humanity in order for it to put pressure on putin and russia and stop russian escalation and russian war crimes, we understand that beijing is trying to win in the current situation, in particular, at the expense of ukraine and at the expense of what is currently happening on the european continent, because the restructuring is colossal and for this finance, and about technology, about energy, but in your opinion , can shizenpin play now, in particular, on the eve of the elections in i just understood the question, but i don’t have a very good answer for you . china’s position is not clear to me at the mo

complex, what kind of air umbrella ukraine can build thanks to its western partners, with general hodgespeople, and will soon be working on prejudice against russian missiles. greetings. my name is artem kulya and this is the facts of the week. we analyze current events that are changing us and the country. the large-scale shelling of our cities with various types of missiles once again reminded us of the urgent need for modern air defense systems, they talked about it in kyiv and in brussels and in washington, because from the fact that russia was directed towards ukraine, our air forces were able to prevent only half of everything, because they still use the soviet-developed buka m1 and s-300 as western installations will strengthen our air defense and that soon we'll see it in action, we'll talk about it later, subscribe to our youtube channel so you don't miss it. that's how skillfully our air guards stopped russian missiles, but they managed to catch them. far from all of them. the same applies to kamikaze drones due to massive strikes on cities and critical infrastructure objects,

officer hodges was concerned about whether anyone in power had a role. officer dunn put it simply. get to the bottom of what happened. we've worked for more than a year to get those answers. we've conducted more than a thousand interviews and depositions. we received and reviewed hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. thanks to the tireless work of our members and investigators, we've left, we have left no doubt, none that donald trump led an effort to up-end american democracy that directly resulted in the violence of january 6th. he tried to take away the voice of the american people in choosing their president, and replace the wheel of the voters with his will to remain in power. he is the one person at the center of the story of what happened on january 6th. so we want to hear i from him. the committee needs to do everything in our power to tell the most complete story possible and provide recommendations to help ensure nothing like january 6th ever happens again. we need to be fair and thorough and gain a full context for the evidence we've obtained. but the need for thi

western media have repeatedly reported on toronto legend supply of combat. drones, such as the mo hodges 6 unsure, had theories to russia. both iran and russia deny those allegations. several western countries along with ukraine have urged us to investigate the reports. ortiz keller, more looked into the initiative. now the focus of the meeting was allegations that russia had violated the j. c. p o, a by purchasing drones from iran, then use on the battlefield in crane. now, the russian ambassador and then the took to the floor and pointed out that this entire investigation was in violation of the un charter because it was being done at the direct request of the united states. u. s. leaders had contacted the un secretary general and asked for this investigation to be done. and the un charter makes it very clear that these international bodies are not intended to serve one particular country. rather, they are focused on carrying out the un mission, the maintenance of what he said, cetera. so basically, the russian ambassador pointed out that this whole meeting and this whole investigation

to the show that in the event of an attempt to use nuclear weapons well, as the general said -de-hodgeser the russian black sea fleet will be wiped out killed well, i think that the guests on a wider er-er promises yes, mr. pavly well, but with all due respect to the lieutenant general, we understand if mark milley made a similar statement yes, i don’t know, ben voles, well, no really. maybe you in the kremlin would think hard about your behavior, and in any case, if they used, for example, hypothetically, tactically , nuclear weapons, in particular, in the south, they are talking about launching , for example, from the sea, or would it be their strategic aviation is involved, and in general, what are the possible consequences of the use of tactical nuclear weapons of low or medium power, well, actually, first of all, the general enters that this is not such an informal communication channel , he can tell the russians what they cannot say for diplomatic reasons. the military does not act and actually speaks its own opinion. when he speaks, he proves to the russians the position of the u

appeared, for example , it says that ukraine can... e end the war to on christmas day, general ben hodges russian army has been defeated, and on the other hand, we include guys there who are standing in positions, saying that everything is not so simple, that the barrage of fire has increased in the donbas, they have delivered combat kits to the russians, they are actively shooting at them, well in a word, it is not so simple, what is the current situation in the kherson region in the south. rather, we talked about it right away, that such a powerful euphoria from some bright victories cannot be permanent, and even when we celebrate something, we mentioned that it is christmas, so after that psychologists there recommend moving away from celebrations and somehow mastering your own psychological state, that is why we talk about informational silence and about restrained reaction to our successes, of course we are happy about them, we report on them, but we must understand that the power of the enemy is still the same not only that the forces were gathered in advance and also for a long, lo

ukrainian city, general bohdanov, and many well-known military experts, in particular, general ben hodges former command, mr. colonel, we must put an end to our conversation on this optimistic note, we will end our conversation. it was vladyslav seleznyov , a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine. it was verda's program about her. serhii rudenko . tomorrow we will meet on the air at 5:10 p.m. diplomat volodymyr yelchenko will be our guest. we will talk . about the world, about the world's reaction to the events in ukraine, and about what actually awaits the world of ukraine , that's all. thank you, goodbye. russian president vladimir putin announced martial law on captured ukrainian territories, this happened after the russian command called the situation in the kherson region tense and announced the so-called evacuation to the left bank of kherson, which means

armed forces of ukraine, the former commander of the us ground forces on the european continent, ben hodges , expressed this opinion he noted that compared to the ukrainian troops, the occupiers are insufficiently equipped, unprepared and untrained. therefore , he is confident that the ukrainian army will continue on the russian troops and will not give them the opportunity to regroup or learn anything, but in winter it is more difficult on the battlefield due to the weather, so the success of the armed forces will be slower and more difficult, and the work of drones, the private military company of wagner, is trying to prove its superiority over the ministry of defense of russia and ordinary russian ground forces, this is what the american institute believes the study of war, in particular, the russian military complains that they fight without rotations and that they lack equipment sponsor of the wagnerites yevgeny prigozhin without hesitation gives them the necessary military equipment to maintain the front line, humiliating the russian ministry of defense. this is how prigozhin speaks t

of longer-range artillery systems , as well as tanks, on which the ukrainians are asking, as ben hodges said - this is a former american general, and now a military analyst in an interview with our colleagues . of the united states. why can't these systems be transferred from europe? he believes that they are completely unjustified at this stage of the war. let's listen to what ben godzis said. the russians will clearly lose in all aspects of the battle on the ground and even on the black sea so they're responding with attacks on civilian infrastructure power grids apartment buildings to try to make cities uninhabitable ahead of winter so giving the ukrainians the ability to protect their citizens civilians and civilian infrastructure i consider the number one task the second priority is to continue supplying high precision long range artillery like systems himers and similar to them of course now they also ask for tanks tracked vehicles because they can work more effective on wet ground i wish the united states wouldn't give abrams and then germany would give leopards i've heard all th

use nuclear weapons. undesirable consequences for him, and here are the threats, according to ben-hodgesthem in order to intimidate or force western countries to make concessions. james actons, an expert from the carnegie foundation, also agrees with this opinion. he says that, in his opinion, it is unlikely that use these weapons to protect, as the kremlin believes, the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, and on the contrary, they can use this trump card or this threat as blackmail in order to force western countries to make concessions or surrender to some other actions. come on let's hear what he says about the probability of using such weapons by putin, i don't think that the use of nuclear weapons by russia is inevitable, but i also don't think that putin is blocking, i think that if the war goes in a very bad direction for putin, if he faces a catastrophic military defeat, if his government will be under threat and the russian economy is on the verge of collapse then i cannot rule out the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons i do not think it is very likely but i th

an air shield, and whether it will be enough that ukraine will soon receive, we will ask general hodges about it, i think that nassam will be useful, the patriot will be useful, the irish will be useful, sam, the french system will be useful, there is no single best system, you need different systems for different types of threats the base is being attacked by drones you are being attacked by cruise missiles and other types of missiles are a variety of threats so for air and missile defense you need a variety of systems and this is a network we call it integrated missile defense european and american it will allow sharing of monitoring and analysis of the air situation in real time if the arister system and the radar noticed an enemy target that needs to be captured or several targets all these all these the information can be simultaneously transmitted to the nasams, which is standing somewhere hundreds of kilometers away, and in this way, the commander of that launcher or the division commander will see this assessment in the long term, updated by the ukrainian air defense network, an

fighter jets and tanks to the ukrainian military, in particular, if we are talking about the same ben hodges whom you mentioned, general , he is talking about that it is really necessary to help the ukrainians and actually to eliminate the threat even at the launch, as he said, it is necessary to help ukraine to provide it in order to prevent even the departure of such dangerous and deadly drones, there is also a lot of interesting said hertlin, you are another american former general and now a military expert, he draws attention to the fact that these iranian drones are made in such a way that they can avoid the radars of the latest high-precision air defense that can be provided by western countries, but these drones are quite slow and very loud and therefore, they can be eliminated from such ordinary lighter and smaller a-a sophisticated weapons of the west, in particular from stingars, he also said that it can help uhm help eliminate electronic jamming and in particular, the means that nato announced that they will provide to ukraine, as well as mass shelling , so again, there are many d

the deal to be extended saying it's a critical humanitarian if it been hodges as a former u. s. military commander in europe, or that, or he told me about russia's motives for pulling out of the grain deal. well, the, the gremlins goal is always been to exert maximum pressure on, on all the capitals of the west to, to lose the will to continue supporting ukraine. i mean, they, they see that they're losing, the russian military is losing, in every single category of this conflict. so they've resorted to the missile strikes against energy infrastructure of ukraine, blocking grain shipments, doing everything they can to cause us. and also by the way, the. busy threats to use a nuclear weapon, all of these are intended to cause the west to lose the will to support the grain or to, to stretch out the conflict for as long as possible. that's how, that's how desperate they are. they have no other real options. so, so losing on the battlefield. let's take a look now. it's some other new stories making headlines around the world. for israelis and palestinians were injured in a gun att
