ukraine is just the current battlefield, but if ukrainians defeat russia on this battlefield everything changes. so the best way to protect nato, the best way to protect the international system is to give ukraine the assistance it says it needs and let them handle russia on this battlefield. >> general, do you believe negotiations between russia and ukraine will wind up ending -- will it be negotiations that end this war, or will it be decided on the battlefield? >> well, that's exactly right. i mean whatever -- whatever shape these negotiations ultimately take is going to depend on what happens on the battlefield. but, you know, it's in the interest of both russia and ukraine to keep these negotiations going. looking for an opening for the russians,f forestalling of western assistance to ukraine, raising hopes, dashing hopes, finding information and intimidating ukrainians, and at the same time president zelenskyy knows he has to be a willing participant in this because the european allies expect him to. germany, italy, france, they just want it over. they're very shortsighted on this

on what battlefield? who from this battlefield receives , uh, dividends?ell you exactly who gets the americans get the british get russia gets everyone gets except one country, except for ukraine, and i will explain it. why even if you take russia, i look here. eh, semyon twisted it a little. yes, i ’ll explain a little bit, what are you looking at? water went to the crimea water went to the crimea i ask a question. same question already. how many 3 years or four years. how much it has already been discussed, they will be a cure, or the sixteenth proposal was what let's sit down at the negotiating table and solve this economic issue on a commercial basis, we didn't want what to do with this next in the lc. dpr said sit down at the negotiating table. agree on the issues that interest you and that's it. everything will not be wanted. and today, watch what happens sooner or later anyway ukraine will end the war, how it ends will be signed, there will be some kind of peace treaty or capitulation, it will not matter, but all the same, you will have to negotiate

this is a first aid event for the wounded on the battlefield.inly in the usa and western europe. and we use cuts, nevertheless, the issue of first aid is being paid more and more attention. in special forces today, almost all special forces competitions include first aid exercises for wounds on the battlefield for special forces, such topics are vital . after all, it is groups and special forces units that often have to act at a distance from the main forces, without having quick access to qualified medical care, therefore, despite the presence of full-time medics in such units, all their employees and military personnel undergo additional training. after a fighter is wounded, the time count goes to seconds in medicine, the battlefield has the concept of the golden hour of the first hour after the injury, when it is necessary to provide all possible assistance in this hour, most importantly the first minutes and even seconds. it is no secret that the majority of military personnel die on the battlefield from blood loss, it is on practicing actio

battlefield. don't look for a sweeping cohesive battle plan on the ukrainian side. look for endless resistance. they are here to stay. and let's close on a snapshot of mariupol, a doomed city, but where you see defenders like at the alamo standing and delivering for their country, magnify that through the ukrainian -- >> that's the steel factory we're looking at right now. that's their alamo. >> it is. >> admiral, we've heard for a while this bat until the donbas is going to look different to what we've seen to this point in the war. urban warfare, guerrilla fighting, and this is going to be more set-piece combat. explain to viewers what that means. are these going to be tanks lined up? what sort of artillery will be used? >> think about the revenge of geography. in other words, you can change a lot of things on a battlefield. you can't change the terrain. thus, as you point out correctly, jonathan, out in the cities, onto the plains of ukraine. it's a vast -- think kansas. and as a result of that

you must keep giving them weapons to make them successful on the battlefield.st provide both military support and strong sanctions to improve their position at the negotiating table. in the end. we want ukraine to be free and independent russia weakened and isolated signed stronger more united and determined we are convinced that all third goals can be achieved and we will do everything necessary to help ukrainians to achieve these goals. very simple morality, a long war with russia on the territory of ukraine is needed by the united states and nato only for one right now the issue of the future world order is being decided in moscow for talks with putin today the chancellor will fly in for a visit. austrian karl ne hamer will become the first european leader to visit moscow after the start of a special operation in ukraine right in the day. prior to that, he visited kiev according to information about the austrian humility of the amer, he is going to moscow to establish peace in ukraine, but they do not believe in this. even austrian journalists, according to

think so , wars are usually won and lost on the battlefield.es, that is , everything was already decided for zelensky at the meeting. eu foreign ministers in luxembourg, the ministers discussed an additional 500 million euros for weapons for ukraine according to the barrel, the final decision, a matter of several days zelensky in an interview for 60 minutes on the american television channel cbs. he says that it is the west that is to blame for losing the war. we can only be russia and the european union, we are not we can be between russia and the european union. say that you do not take us, we will build a different policy. or say that you take us and take it, but you can’t just like that, you can just because we are living people. you treat us like second class. we are not sausage, not cheese, nor grubs, nor products. not cheese, not grub, not a product, we are living people, if you think that europe with its history is in order . it is in a different world. and you, and you, and you just are and just be there, and we will tell you when you

first victory on the battlefield is headed by the militaristic camp on one side. uh, wonderful boris johnson who ready on my own. now he’s already talking about it, as he said, and i even have a wonderful strike system, if anything. i don’t advise anyone, it’s okay, this is nonsense, it’s la-la, yes, and about the crocodile, show me about the crocodile i liked it. show yes johnson's statement was not seen no, it's going great, of course, a great statement. i don’t understand how ukrainians can easily sit down and come to some kind of agreement with putin how can you negotiate with a crocodile that has grabbed your leg, that’s the difficulty faced by ukrainians. i think it's exactly the opposite. it's not johnson, we have a crocodile. this is what he said from the first day, nothing has begun yet. he said they will be until the last ukrainian. actually call the english bulldog. but what kind of doctor will he be until he has grown up, then, uh, and another character is more surprising for johnson in this organic role of such a milit. eh, a little extravagant, but h

general, for folks at home so they can understand a tactical and battlefield nuke, how big is it?area be? and what are the ways they can be deployed? >> good evening, jim. as general marks just said, they can be deployed at least by russian doctrine by a theater level commander. the tactical or battlefield nuclear weapons have a lower yield, but they're still nuclear weapons. so, the u.s. and nato must send unequivocal message that any use of nuclear weapons, whether it's tactical, battlefield, or strategic, will start nuclear war. we must send that message loud and clear so that's not done. >> i should note, and i reported this earlier today, that the u.s. has been monitoring russian military forces and nuclear forces for any unusual movements of nuclear weapons have not, to date, seen that. doesn't mean that can't change, but we should note that as we factor into this -- into judging the seriousness of the strategy. general marks, to another topic here. russia is taking its protests of u.s. weapon shipments to ukraine to a higher level. it demarr shed the u.s. over this. do you

and that, as he said, this war should not end with negotiations, but on the battlefield.t psychological. uh, the transition of the west, which should be discussed, but we will definitely discuss it today, but since we are talking about the fact that it should end on the battlefield. well, as a matter of fact, let's first pay attention to what is happening there in one of the areas in the battlefield. seems pretty symbolic to me. sections of this battlefield, mariupol and shortly before our broadcast, the news came, uh, that denis pushilin, uh, pushilin, the head of the dpr, announced that the port of mariupol was taken under control, uh, this is one of three sections . here are the last pockets of resistance, and in mariupol, which, as i understand it, according to the plan ukrainian command was originally supposed to be like that. here, as it were, an insurmountable citadel. well, here, in fact, to understand what is happening there. let's get in touch with georgy medvedev who is, as i understand it, and near mariupol georgy, how can you hear us? as a connection yes good

he says no no need on the battlefield.e weapons need urgently more weapons, as quickly as possible and the question arises. this is clearly not him by himself, but he is broadcasting some, or a new plan, or some new, let's say, some new stage of their plan for us there, based there on some kind of elephants, but then what is this plan for your look now, that is, how far. they are now, apparently ready to go. i don’t know, i think that, in my opinion, they already know for a long time that this violinist is not needed, so pay attention to how he ran around somewhere in the dressing rooms and they didn’t let him in serious negotiations. he does not decide anything and he does not really have any powers. he really is. i totally agree with you, only broadcasts. the point of view, in my opinion, is going on, pumping out and in the future the aim of pumping out certain means, including, maybe even they hope someday, as it were, but to compensate. well, they stole 300 billion from us. here they justify this theft, uh, by the fact

in the taiwan strait. l battlefield in the taiwan strait. ., ., battlefield in the taiwan strait. .. . strait. i hear what you are saying. — strait. i hear what you are saying. and _ strait. i hear what you are saying, and no _ strait. i hear what you are saying, and no doubt- saying, and no doubt there are a number of sorties by the chinese air force over taiwan , s chinese air force over taiwan �*s airspace, and there is something going on, and one can also say i guess that the focus of international tension is very much on ukraine right now which beijing may well be aware of. one us congress would put it like this just the other day, mike gallagher, saying all of this evidence to suggest that we are right now in the window of maximum danger taiwan. is that the way that you see it?— you see it? yes, i think this time we _ you see it? yes, i think this time we need _ you see it? yes, i think this time we need to _ you see it? yes, i think this time we need to hold - you see it? yes, i think this time we need to hold a - you see it? yes, i think thisl time we need to hold a spirit o

there's a couple of reasons why ukrainians are having as much success on the battlefield that they aree is they're fierce fighters, fighting for their live and freedom, they're doing a great job. the other thing is we're giving them 20th century weapons. and the third we've been training them since 2014, to actually bring them to the battlefield in the fight that they are now. the administration has done a great job. but wars change and wars evolve. this war has changed and evolved. the russians have adapted. they're shifting their tactics. they're shifting their location so ours has to adapt. with us saying they haven't done enough, we're saying the next phase will require an evolution, a change in both the quantity and speed of the support we provide. >> congressman, you're an army ranger, you served in afghanistan and iraq, so you know the consequences of this. how do you balance the ukrainian request for more assistance, some of which, particularly with air defenses, russia will take to be an act of war from nato. how do you separate those things? because people warn if you do that

well it seems that this was the western concept that everything should be decided on the battlefielde battlefield, and now american diplomats are already coming out saying that this is all untrue. about how they took the strategically important mariupol what is the situation in the city after the liberation of our military commander alexander sladkov alexander bilibov and stanislav bernlt the sea breeze develops a black blue red tricolor flag of the donetsk people's republic hoisted at the highest point of mariupol from now on the city is under the full control of the russian armed forces and the dpr, bells ring out over mariupol on a bright holiday. on easter, hundreds of townspeople gathered under the vaults of this temple, cut down by fragments of ukrainian shells, to pray together for such a long-awaited peace here. peace, love and mutual understanding to all, we hold on, everything will be fine. we will rebuild the city and everything will be fine with us. yes, people are learning to live a peaceful life again. some leave to stay with their relatives who stay in the city without

go there die on the battlefield is absolutely a question. they are in gas.th your paws, among other things, barrel essentially signs that he is not a diplomat. this is professional incompetence. that is, he says that yes, let the military decide we oh, we can’t decide, and in essence. this means that europe is transferring its sovereignty to the united states, we are your sala. let the united states decide to admit that it does not exist, it does not exist. further. clearly, this is a challenge for those european countries that believe that sovereignty, after all, is with them, because the powers of the european commissioner, of course, are limited. yes , the national foreign policy still remains. we will now look at whether the rest of the european countries arrange it or not, who is satisfied, who is not satisfied, that is, i have a suspicion that we can still see a certain rovki still in the mode of rebellion on its knees, but such an apparatus of european sovereignties is not i hope it's not impossible, but in any case no well, it starts with eastern eur

moving quickly around the battlefield. wheeled vehicles more than likely because they want to move fast and a quick reaction force to counter any kind of russian incursion along that 300-mile front line. the tactical unmanned uas systems, the drones, as they were, those will give intelligence plus firepower. whenever you see a breakthrough, which is what the russians are going to attempt in the donbas in multiple places. they are conducting what's called a reconnaissance in force right now to try and find holes in the ukrainian lines. if the russians were to find that and so far they've been running into stiff ukrainian resistance in every place they've been trying to break through, it's because of the lightness of the ukrainian force, their ability to move the battlefield and strike very quickly. the last piece we shouldn't ignore. the spare parts. this is a logistics war. this battle of attrition. the fact that the united states and nato are not only providing equipment that can be replenished but the parts that go along

honest, there is no agreement on anything now because all our negotiations are conducted on the battlefieldaping our peaceful er people, destroying our cities really do not give grounds for any negotiations on the russian side from the side of putin directly, the plans do not change destruction of ukraine as a whole and bringing this operation to an end so i don't believe in any let's say so negotiations at the current stage after 2-3 weeks of grueling battles that now await us any success and victories i think on both sides but hoping for our endurance and on the real one timely help from the west. i think that we will win this intermediate battle and create the prerequisites for the liberation of our territory. such actions can cause putin, including the use of other means in the fight, if he does not decide to announce mobilization, the announcement of mobilization is the new wave but in order for the cannon fodder that they will begin to collect to be more viable, it will take three to six months there, if they are not going to prepare cannons and throw them anywhere, this means that af

uh, on the battlefield.t it is necessary to negotiate properly to force the country to come to an unexpected conclusion. curtain, you know, you need to substitute even more weapons so that that well, in fact, they are playing a double game, as always. eh, on the one hand. they supply weapons from the other side. they do not want to get involved in this conflict themselves. they are afraid, they are afraid, and they don’t want this, and the public opinion of the nato countries, but in no case do they want, don’t want e, doesn’t want a direct confrontation with, russia, and here, in my opinion, olesya correctly noticed. after all, just like that, weapons, yes , they supply them, but just like that, this information is not merge, but do not tell the plans. and suddenly they say that in may there will be a turning point somewhere at the end of may, in fact, somewhere in june. and as if they are making it clear that you still have three weeks, maybe a maximum of four. uh-huh and if you if you don't stop then ther

and ukraine are adapting to the constantly changing battlefield as ukraine is asking for help, and the u.s. is looking for what assistance they can provide for help. >>> and thank you both. now, let's bring in former cia chief of russian operations, and first to you, colonel since the invasion, the ukrainian president is getting the weapons they have been asking for. is this a game-changer? >> it could be, paula, because they have been doing a good job to defending the east, and keeping the russians out of the odesa area, and so the ukrainian military has to be lauded for doing lot with a little. now, when it comes to what is coming up next is going to be interesting, because as ed mentioned in the reporting, the whole region there, it has a different topography, and it could have an impact on the types of weapons that are used, and that can be effectively used by the ukrainians against the russians. it is going to be a different battle scene. you know, these types of weapons that are being talked about such as the helicopters and the switchblade drones and the h howitzers, and can the

uh, to use all their capabilities in order to win on the battlefield such strange diplomacy, and ours even call on partners in the us and europe, but as they realize that this is impossible. uh, another task is coming to the fore - to split russian society, to destroy russia from the inside. well, here the hitch does not work, our society is showing maturity, solidarity supports our armed forces supports our efforts aimed at ensuring the unconditional security of russia itself and at supporting citizens living in the donbass the chairman of the investigative committee instructed to investigate the circumstances of the fire at the oil depot not far from bryansk, in the fokinsky district , fuel tanks caught fire at night due to their increased rank of complexity. now it is localized on an area of ​​1.500 m². there are no victims, residential buildings, nothing threatens on the spot rescuers of investigators and forensic specialists are working according to one of the versions. it could have been an attack from ukrainian drones from bryansk to the border with ukraine about 170 km. the at

but the weapon that is on the battlefield, as it was said here that victory is forged on the battlefieldby a soldier. it is sent by a person. again we return to the human factor and one of the qualities of a soldier is the fighting spirit. how to measure morale, which in the professional language of the military is called the moral and psychological state? i will give a small example , let's go back to mariupol, when the first battalion of the marines surrendered, it is not the first by number, but the first one that surrendered in full strength, i read approximately from organizational staffing in organizational and staffing structure. uh. they left the battle with 43% casualties. average losses in defense. uh, we have well, all the military, then scientists. uh, that's 50% loss. that is, uh, a unit or unit ceases to be combat-ready in defense and begins, uh, to retreat or surrender when it is impossible to retreat, well, just leave the battle with a loss of more than 50%. and the marines lost only 43, uh, killed and wounded, uh, 43% well, uh, wounded who cannot resist, who cannot fight

putin looks at the facts on the ground on the battlefield, this is really what he's looking at right now. he wants a victory, doesn't care how he gets it, and this is why i think the biden administration is absolutely correct in pushing in these howitzers. the ammunition, the vehicles to tow them and do as much as it can right now on an urgent basis to give ukraine the capacity to resist, to strike back, and hopefully enough to be able to eject russia from donbas. >> you say eject russia from donbas, this is coming in the same day that we're now hearing from a russian general, saying that their goal is to not only gain hold of all of donbas, but also southern part of ukraine as well. obviously we have seen what has transpired there in mariupol could perhaps they be going after odesa and mykolaiv next. and, and, he opened the window to going into neighboring moldova, that's that disputed region within the country there where there are russian troops currently based right now. this expanse that war significantly, especially if you're giving into the ports there in the southern part of

i will now give an example, and now on the battlefield. we receive blows on our territory, we do not have hysteria. no one screams, and everything is gone chef yes, today we systematically hit kiev, as we said without a hitch. we are generally consistent people in this regard, we say we warn, then there is no capping action, but look at the result to date on there were five territories of ukraine. there are no refineries now, not a single one. yes, there are some oil storage facilities, then hz, we destroyed them very much last yes the last fifth was destroyed. and there is consistency in this when we say to the americans and for eight years, or how much longer, we have been carrying on this dialogue of a diplomatic game. we understood that sooner or later everything that is happening in ukraine is against russia and it will happen, and therefore, when we say that the consequences will be unpredictable, we must understand that we have such types of weapons. not only including nuclear, which we are able to apply to the american society. the

uh, coming, that we will reach here on the battlefield. i heard.is here, and for sure, probably, someone says, but there is a difference, you understand, between the head of diplomacy. services of the european union and the fact that someone somewhere something everywhere he says, you understand what's the matter, because if there is something international law, by the way, you were not even outraged when the french finance minister said total war. and you know, it probably made you angry too. and i was outraged like this, because the term total war is the content of clause 1.6 of the sentence of the nuremberg tribunal, where the nuremberg tribunal unambiguously interprets total war, as well as logic -ideological justification. the nazis are actually now a piece, by the way, actually puts equality, just say a little more than a term not entirely successful, of course, total war, but, in fact, they are quite successful. and what happens if not total war when restrictions on supplies are introduced? even spare parts for aircraft, when in six months o

and this is just the latest episode of this playing out on, on the battlefields in ukraine. no, on the methods actually use brian the u. s. defense secretary yesterday said he wants to see russia at weakened. is that how they're going to do it by funneling arms into ukraine. this is what they're going to try to do and we watch them do the exact same thing in syria for years and years. the problem is there is a limit to what just dumping weapons into our country can accomplish. these are weapons that ukrainian soldiers have not used before is going to take weeks, sometimes even months to get them to be able to use them and then use them effectively on the battlefield. and they simply don't have that from all the times . what the us is trying to do is just prolong this for as long as possible and do as much damage as possible. a point on not as well. do you think you can have any control of what actually happens with the weapons that are sent in there? or can they control who gets them eventually? absolutely not. and again, we saw this in iraq and syria where a huge amounts of

victory on the battlefield, but johnson comes out and says, you know, you should. warn.eral is this here on the battlefield, victory you know, grandmother in two, i said. well, he came to india where his chakras opened and he realized that victory was on the battlefield. very strong, not guaranteed. okay, the embargo will already be, but i liked america, it suddenly saw the light they had there . well, uh, a government official with the indian surname silk has come out, arguing that in general we need to be more careful with the oil embargo. europe probably doesn't need an oil embargo, because europe will die there. god with him the price will rise. and we have biden was tormented to attribute it all to putin's inflation, but the price, if there is an imbargo in europe, the price will not increase by 30%. it can grow twice in the limit and speaking, let's not rush to the oil barn. he is american, in my opinion, who is there. minister, yes, if you translate into ours, in my opinion, yes, let's not rush into the oil imbargo, america says. and what has changed in 4 days, ev

uh, nato technology, a sample, of course, you can evaluate it differently, of course, on the battlefieldis technique, on e, is quite suitable for combat operations, but the question is against whom it is and how it will fight if the unit is equipped appropriate weapons and means of detecting guidance, then the battle is not in favor of the ukrainian army, when they are somehow lucky and they stumble from behind the garden. something acts to eat in their own. well, that is, fate is changeable, but the amount of equipment that is now being supplied is, you understand, as if trying to support the military success that ukrainian is counting on, but it cannot, because just look at the numbers that our ministry of defense publishes, destroyed military equipment . only ground already exceeded 2,000 units. well, it really is. this is an economy that is not capable of supporting a military operation, but it is solely on external injections and rather large injections, including military equipment, about the economic consequences of the crisis in ukraine for our country for the whole world. we wil

all this as ukraine is fighting back on the battlefield. officials say the ukrainian forces struck a russian command post in the south killing at least two russian generals. the death toll has been very high in this conflict. we are following the latest from the white house and in kyiv. let's begin with matt rivers. he is in kyiv. matt, this is a major reveal by president zelenskyy of information that would deliberately be kept secret for security reasons. what more did the ukrainian president have to say? >> it was a huge surprise, jim. i think one that not a lot of reporters in that room thought was coming. you and i have been having conversations over the past week talking about when and if we would see senior u.s. leadership come to kyiv like we have seen so many other senior leaders from europe come here. now it appears it is going to happen on orthodox easter sunday, which is now today, in kyiv. zelenskyy talking about what he expects in the meeting, saying he will lay out exactly the kinds of weapons he says he needs in order to imme

we see how that works itself out on the battlefield.ther cities won't be counted so hard. they're aware this sacrifice has this larger mean. as far as is war to come, what we will see is a much more concentratinged russian offensive against ukrainians have nose denied and are better supplied and to above all have better morale and do what they're fighting for. so it will be interesting to see how things will go the next few weeks. it's going to be horrible. i also think the way we should be thinking about this is help ukrainians to prevail. we want this to be as short as possible for it to be peace, we have to support the ukrainians and in some ways how we protect ourselves. >> as someone studying tyrants and has written this best-selling career, it gets into this ukraine question. i want to ask you to get into vladimir putin's mind. that's a fool's errand, of course, what should we know about tyrants? in particular this tyrant. that might be informative or instructive, what he might settle for and what he wants in the end. >> i appreci

ukraine does not want to give up an inch of that territory, but that will be decided on the battlefieldssia is slowly reinforcing its forces there. at the same time, quite a lot of its northern forces into belarus and into russia to resupply and replenish and catch up because they did not do very well. lewis: russia has continued its attacks on city that connect ukraine to the black sea. we will look in a bit at mariupol, but first let's go to another city. russian troops have stalled there. 11 people died there yesterday. i spoke to journalists outside of a civilian building that was hit. >> all the people there were civilians in their offices who worked on recreation products, so these are just victims of the putin regime. lewis: the mayor later attended a funeral. you can see these residents greeting the people have lost. during the service, the mayor said this -- >> people are dying. it is really hard for me, but i understand it is war and you can't just sit and cry. we need to go forward. lewis: now to the city of mariupol -- this is what it looks like. it has been bombed to the gr

for example, on the battlefield. here is a small one. a note for those who do not understand, you see, yes, i have, for example, a white bandage. she, uh, against near mariupol, our guys are fighting with white armbands , the ukrainian military are fighting with blue ones. these are azov. e, elementary to distinguish your stranger. in general, who at the front here understands this, but on the other hand, there is nothing secret about it. and as you rightly noted, we all have the same face. we are really one people and it costs nothing to ukrainian saboteurs. or those who are trying now, hiding their own war crimes to seep out of the city to change clothes too put on a white bandage there and pass with confidence pretending that he is also some kind of militia fighter there, and so on, but the situation is very difficult. by the way, here, what else i thought about today, and about the plant. and that's why so many neo-nazis are concentrated there in manpower and equipment, and about the west, which actually surrenders ukraine, is simply

part of this will depend on what happens on the battlefield and how that fighting ends, if it does. if we are able to find a mutually acceptable compromise that we all do not like, but we can all live with, then the question of how we deal with russia will be an important one. i do not think we can try the compromise unless it is accompanied in some way by some easing of the economic sanctions that the united states and europe have opposed -- imposed. the russians will not agree to a compromise on the battlefield with ukraine while still believing that the united states and europe intends to strangle the russian economy into submission, and so isolate the russians that they cannot be normal players in some way in international relations. however, if we attempt to approach this by saying the russians are going to be in the penalty box essentially until they have regime change inside russia, until putin leaves power in some way or another and we get a more amenable, we hope, russian government in power, i think we will be in for many years of very dangerous confrontation between the w

putin has failed to achieve his grand ambitions on the battlefield. after weeks of shelling he have, kyiv still stands. president zelenskyy and the democratic government still remain in power. ukrainian armed forces, joined by ukrainian civilians have thwarted russia's conquest of their country. they have been bolstered from day one by a supply of weapons, ammunition, armor, intelligence from the nations of the free world led by the united states read as russia continues to grind out military advances in the brutalities against ukraine, putin is banking on us losing interest. you've heard me say this from the beginning, he was counting on nato, the european union, our allies in asia cracking and moving away. he is betting that western unity will crack. once again we will prove him wrong. we will not lessen our resolve. we will stand with the brave and proud people of ukraine. we will never fail in our determination to defend freedom and deposed here any. again i want to thank the american people for their support of the ukrainian people. this is our r

he was very belligerent, everything on the battlefield had to be decided.e looked thoughtfully somewhere at the ceiling and thought something maybe i, maybe you got excited , i need to crawl away somehow, and he says. the european union and russia says it needs to reorganize relations. so a second. you're kind of like joseph. you wanted to win the military. yes, yes, zhora victory of the military and added do you believe him in his words for a second and added that the eu, the united states and nato were ready to discuss all aspects of security with russia, but attention is impossible while hostilities are going on in ukraine, that is, somehow himself he's a bit of a tail. that is, as if they did not want to discuss the military operations in ukraine on this, therefore it is impossible to discuss the hostilities in ukraine, but it is necessary to discuss it, although it is long and difficult. and here the question arises. he cracked him, didn't crack him. this. well, yes, the gingerbread is simple, but joselle gives an advance. we have to take it like a bai

there's a couple reasons why the cranes are having as much success on the battlefield that they are.ighters, they're fighting for their independence and freedom. the second is, we're giving them tremendous weapons, 24 century weapons at a breakneck pace. and the third is, we've been training them since 2014. given the communications equipment and training actually bring them to the battlefield with the fight than they are now. so the ministration is on a great job, but worst change, wars of all. and this warrants change involved. the russians have adopted, they're shifting their tactic. they're shifting the location. so our support has that doubts. that's with this letter is about. it's not a critical letter, not saying they haven't done enough. we're saying that the next phase of this war will require not pollution, a change in both the quantity and speed and nature of this weather report right. >> congressman, you are an army ranger. you start not afghanistan and iraq, so you know the consequences of this. how do you balance the ukrainian request for more assistance, some of which,

ukrainian forces are rapidly expanding battlefield gains.liberated. an advisor to president volodymyr zelenskyy says another 30 are back under ukrainian control. as the russians retrea

vehicles, anti-armor system, anti-air capabilities, that have been used so effectively thus far on the battlefield by ukrainian warriors. you know, it's going to deliver much-needed humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter and other aid to ukrainians displaced by russia's war. and provide aid for those seeking ref refuge in other countries from ukraine. it's also going to help schools and hospitals open. it's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the ukrainian people so they have something in their pocket. it's also going to provide critical resources to address food shortages around the globe.

officials expect on that battlefield. fighting, open battlefields, not forested terrain, a lot of artillery, a lot of tanks, a lot of things that will be reminiscent of world war ii battles. it will be bloody. there already has been a lot of blood witnessed in this war, and the president of the european council says that, quote, history will not forget russia's war crimes in ukraine. i recently spoke to the mayor of irpin, that is a suburb outside the capital kyiv, who told me that they are finding additional evidence of war crimes every day, some of them just alarming. have a listen. mayor, what is the situation in irpin now and have you found further evidence of russian war crimes there? >> translator: the situation in irpin is under control. at the moment, we have almost finished clearing the rubble. we are finishing mine clearing. unfortunately, just an hour ago, we had an unpleasant incident, a truck was coming in with supplies and it blew up on a mine. unfortunately the driver died. so we're having these unpleasant

i'd rather surprise russians on the battlefields with it. there is an understanding that after the battle of kyiv, we really have to win this battle of donbas, and we have to win this war. and we need all of the equipment, all of the fire power, all of the anti-air, in order to be able to do so. >> brennan: there has already been eight years of fighting in the east before this full-scale invasion. so when you are looking at the full force of the russian military bearing down on this region, exactly what are you preparing for? what are you telling ukrainians to prepare for? >> we have seen this, as you rightfully pointed out, we have been saying for eight years, and we have seen these atrocities and these horrible attacks in the east, russia occupied illegally and attacked in 2014 and 2015. right now we see all of the airstrikes, in mariupol, essentially destroying the cities from the air, but also the atrocities from the ground, which now everyone sees after we were able to liberate north of kyiv. so what we're preparing is for the massive a

officials continued to say in consultation with ukrainians assess what is needed on the battlefield to try to be successful and re-assess what is being sent to ukraine with that consultation. we can see that playing out right now in realtime. laura? boris? >> jasmine wright traveling with the prez in wilmington, delaware, thank you. >>> dig deeper. former u.s. ambassador to ukraine william taylor is with us and retired brigadier general kevin ryan. thank you for sharing part of your sunday with us. general ryan, start with you. u.s. intelligence indicates russia is now focused on the eastern part of ukraine. the donbas region. ukrainian officials say the entire kyiv region has been liberated from russian forces. is this a re-assessment for russia or a complete shift in strategy? >> well, i this a re-assessment that's resulting in a shift in operations. the strategy still remains to take territory in ukraine wherever they can. now, the russians will traditionally reinforce success, and there's been a lot of success for the russians in the southern part of ukraine but not as much in the

today we learned that the united states will soon be introducing a new weapon to the battlefield andrones. the administration plans to send ukraine ten so-called, switchblade 600 drones. check these out, but about the under million dollar lethal military aid package. these weapons are essentially portable robotic smart bombs that can destroy heavy armor like tanks and artillery from a distance. the 600 series of these drones carry a stronger payload than these ones they're looking at, the low cost switchblade 300 drones that are used for pinpoint strikes on enemy personnel. both types of drones are equipped with cameras. they can be program to strike targets miles away. the biden administration announced last month that it would provide ukraine with 100 of these less deadly 300 series drones. also breaking tonight, nbc news can report that the u.s. will be sending $100 million worth of javelin anti-tank missiles to ukraine. so up and that the ukrainians used whether fish and see against and running russian tanks. it also matters that the czech republic has been quietly sending ukrain

just confirmed that they they are involved in this war, so they are not directly involved on the battlefieldt they are involved as countries that help us fight off the russian aggressor. on the part of moscow, we hear about all these statements about the fact that moscow can take revenge and so on, to which it receives calm answers that if you blackmail the world beyond nuclear weapons with something else, you you will get the same one i think it cools the hot heads in the kremlin and around because everyone understands that this will be the red line after which there is not much from moscow, i mean february, but it can even be physically, what will be left, mr. ambassador, how military aid to ukraine and diplomatic efforts are mutually dependent, the armed strengthening of ukraine excludes diplomacy, and do you have any hope for a diplomatic settlement, what is the space at all now for negotiations, you know i think that my answer as a diplomat is something to you will surprise but i think that now, in these specific days and weeks , diplomacy is not actually working, but our heroic armed f
