nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said this in an interview with the german news agency dpa. german press agency. according to him, russia is currently experiencing a major strategic defeat, and can no longer do so achieve the set goals, and even more. the secretary of the north atlantic alliance said that kyiv has forever escaped from putin's sphere of influence, and eventually the ukrainians will achieve their goal, their country, that is, ours, will become a member of both nato and the european union. well, and these are serious words, we really have already left, long ago left the sphere of influence of russia, from the sphere of influence of putin, and we are sorry. it's been a long time, what is being done there and what is being said there, we are going to fulfill our goals, these are nato and the european union, and by the way, he also talked about stoltenberg several times repeated against that in the interview that nato will continue to help ukraine in our just fight against russian aggression. quote: the allies dug deep into existing stockpiles to be able to supply

he wanted to get in ofer's car, but the drive hit the dpas and drove -- gas and drove off. he called to tell where to meet him, he never made it. later loved ones learned that his car was attacked and he was badly injured. they held out hope he was still alive and were told he was taken captive. sadly on november 29, ofer's family learned that his family had been found in gaza. these are just two among the hundreds of innocent people who fell victim to hamas. but despite the profound grief and despair their families are experiencing, they're dedicating them for advocating for the innocent hostages still in cav activity. last week -- captivity. last week i also met with may raviv, whose uncle abraham and aunt were kidnapped together with their daughter and son. rudy, ca rifrn ne and -- carine were released, but omar is still a hostage. his family said that a kind israeli woman who was trained to be a nurse was trying to care for him in captivity, but since she's been released, they are worried he will not survive. we know what hamas thinks about the sanctity of life by what

believe that these 46 opportunities to be able to cure cancer may never reach bedside unless we get dpapast. i am a big believer in personal initiative but in this case we may be able to go no further unless government gets out of the way. the promising pathway is how we do this. families are desperate for another chance at seeing their children go to kindergarten, see their child to get a drivers license, to see them graduate from high school, go to college and get married. we want a chance to see them grow up. rarely do you have a chance or a bill that asks for no money and it isn't really part of what we are asking for. this is the case when you connect to give patients fighting for the power to save their own lives. i lost my daughter but i refuse to believe that we cannot save hours. you've heard today from some compelling and well-educated witnesses. i'm the only one however that has lost everything in the sand was given no options because there wasn't any. there was existing barriers that were either too cumbersome where policies were built around the majority and while some may
