we've seen kirby more lately. >> he's a real upgrade. john kirby is good. whether you agree with the president's policies, john kirby represented articulately and with knowledge. i like to see that. it brings everybody to a higher level and makes reporter ask smarter and better questions. >> martha: we'll continue to see if we get anything more on the cocaine part of the story, which we talked about. and ari, thanks very much for being with us today. great to have you here. >> thank you, martha. >> we love to have you on set. >> thank you. >> a lot of talk about joe manchin threatening the president's chances perhaps of returning to the white house for a second term with maybe a bid of his own from this no labels group. they have a lot of money. making a big splash today. karl rove on that next. veteran homeowners, need to save money every month? call newday. pay off your high rate credit cards and car loan with an affordable va home loan from newday. you can save $500 every month. rates on credit cards have gone up to 22%. for late payments, as much as 30%

john kirby will be in that room. there to watch for as it's been a busy monday news day, john. >> john: one of the questions that could come up, likely will come up is the question you asked a few minutes ago, this investigation into who left cocaine at the white house wrapped up with the secret service saying we tried our best but we couldn't figure out who it belonged to. a lot of people said a dusting for fingerprints might lead you in the right direction. and the investigation should be continuing now. >> sandra: that was a remarkable moment. he said i hope their investigation continues and they dig further. only to reminds him, no, the secret service has said this investigation has concluded. it's over. they closed the door on it. there's many that are not satisfied with that. this happened in the white house. one would assume there's a heavy presence of cameras all over. obviously security. to those that say, well, it was in the west wing. those are people that are known to security there. even more so. they're

fedore, actually john kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the council of national securitye white house stated that in order to join nato, ukraine must meet certain requirements, i will quote him, of course. we believe in nato's open door policy, but we also recognize that in order to become to become a member of nato, each country must meet certain requirements that there should be a serious discussion between this country and the alliance, we want to respect this process, and here i have the impression that nato as a political and military alliance in the military aspect is already willing and ready to include ukraine, the ukrainian army, because having such a powerful element would greatly strengthen the alliance. at the same time, we as a country do not have our pros and cons, the disadvantages that exist in every country, they are wary of openly inviting. i understand that mr. john kirby alludes to the reforms that must take place in our country so that we can seriously talk about rapprochement with the north atlantic alliance, about joining the north atlantic alliance

this again not just kirby about faa it is head of jetblue they've got to fix the system i get it more air traffic controllers are behind the eight ball get on it replace those jobs. >> absolutely -- you hit the nail on head accountability is so important, and i think it is one -- aspect of the administration, society in general right now people are unwilling to take accountability for issues like this, and seems like, every month a new issue, these disruptions seem more and more frequent, overtime. >> scott kirby paid the airline did not pay for scott kirby's travel he paid himself out of his pocket. >> pete buttigieg did not. cheryl: this true. cheryl: a good point, how markets are moving first trading day of the second half of the year, kings view asset management partner here with expectations for the rest of the year coming up next. july, july ♪ ♪ seems so strange, july, july ♪ . . you got this. let's go. gobble gobble. i've seen bigger legs on a turkey! rude. who are you? i'm an investor in a fund that helps advance innovative sports tech like this smart fitness mirror. i'm also

senator kirby said the u.s.ed obligation to murder children in the womb. that is -- that's what christians across this country faithful muslims, jewish americans they want to send their kids in the u.s. military for the sacred obligation to being able to assure that more babies are aborted? that's where we are in the united states today. >> laura, that short clip is stunning. as you said that's part of a 3 minute ode to abortion. calling it a sacred obligation to provide abortions. john kirby is not talking about some arab men who is in guam and discovers a rare but treatable cancer of course we would bring that person back and pay expenses. he is talking about elective abortions and the democratic party has such skewed priorities that the policy of our military is enough to that they are going to pay 15 days of leave. not charged against your annual leave and your travel and your lodging and your meals so you can go get an elective abortion. if your mom or dad dies, you get to take leave out of your 30 days of

you heard john kirby preview the trip for the nato meetings.ct will this have on the war for ukraine to get nato membership? >> this is the big looming question for the summit. unfortunately for ukraine, that's lobbied that, it will deter russian attacks, there isn't consensus within nato members, among nato members, and particularly in the u.s., which has said over and over again, that they do not believe that it is the time for ukrainian nato membership. it boils down to not wanting to draw the u.s. into a broader conflict with russia, which is the concern when you have repeated attacks by russia. and secondly, they need to clean up house more before they are ready for that step. a disappointing start to the summit for ukraine. they are hopeful to get assurances moving forward that nato will still continue to support them regardless of their status. >> martha: chuck, one of the things that president zelenskyy said and some of his saids, and president zelenskyy didn't say it outright, that nato allies that are not supporting them coming into n

kirby chartered a plane from new jersey to colorado last wednesday. the same time more than 8,000 flights across america were delayed or canceled, including many of united kirby now says that that was the wrong decision and admits it was insensitive to customers for those who are traveling. triple a is forecasting a record-breaking travel period. july 4th holiday. they predict that almost 51 million americans will. >> travel more than 50 miles from home. 43 million of those will travel by car. the good news is gas prices are holding steady but the same can't be said for the record. 4.2 million fliers, airfares are up as much as 50% from last year. is 70 say they are encountering unprecedented. wait times to enter the park. this is the park's first summer without a reservation system since the pandemic, one visitor said traffic came to a stop about 80 miles outside yosemite valley, forcing her to wait for at least 3 and a half hours before parking her car, an influx of visitors and road closures in the area are partially to blame. yosemite has not resp

there was also information that ukrainian pilots will be trained for up to six months on them, one kirby noted that the f 16 will not be changed until 16, they will not change the fundamental course of the war, and they agree with him. well, first of all, even in terms of quantity, our representatives of the military command said that we need 200 modern aircraft for superiority over the russians in the sky . the official level expresses various things that have been omitted from the transmission in 16 will allow to shoot down all 100% to sonic cruise missiles, but here we should not forget that such a thing is that if i were in 16 we need, first of all, to replace not only morally but actually physically outdated fighters such as the mig-29 and su-27, so the average is weighted if kirby clearly hinted at the fact that if for one side it is good that it is possible to speed up the transfer process in 16, but we should remember about this one that they will come to replace old fighters or old mig-29 and su-27 will work together with 16, but it’s not worth it build to expect that this is co

ah kirby that's kirby's answer. we can't. but no. i think about the other answers this one.ld escort er escort here. e tell him. well, yes, he says, no, it’s not being discussed at the moment at all what it’s all about, that’s how what you see and know the perception of this whole combination of hitting the bridge now means, uh, a terrorist attack . eh, our accusation, what do they know these do not know with the deal. it seems that we will support so much with a potion, then we will not support. what are you looking at. you are always trying to show a layered cake. you are one level, the other level is the third. and here we also see this multi-level nature. anthony blinken. this is the person who is actually a real adviser. he basically influences him like no other. yeah, he's the person who stays with him the longest. admiral kirby no, of course, i understand, this is a completely different story for blinkin more, because he sets criteria for himself about what is possible and what is not possible from the point of view of ensuring food security. this is the direct respon

position of the united states before nato summit in vilnius but i had the opportunity to ask john kirby directly about this, what did he say to you about this position ? do we have any specifics yet ? remains one of those countries or i position the day before nato remains the least clear and when we talk about what can be the expectations for ukraine today i talked about this with john kerby indeed i asked him a question about whether the united states supports a specific, clear plan for ukraine's accession to nato, and for this to be the beginning of this plan or to lay the foundation for this plan at the nato summit in vilnius, so that there is some really clear plan that ukraine is talking about, and this is how john kerby answered this question to me, we believe that the most important thing is to stay focused on the struggle they are currently waging and look at post-war ukraine, what will be its security needs, what obligations, duties, and obligations can our allies take on to help them stay safe because they will continue to will have a large border with russia, of course. we b

, sianen kirby said that there is faith in the future of ukraine in nato, however, added that reformseforms of good governance, the rule of law , political reforms that need to be worked on in ukraine, and we believe that some of them are difficult to implement during a war, of course, ukraine is now in a state of war, so membership in nato in the near future is not possible , as it would involve nato in a war with russia , and kerbid added that he recognizes the disappointment expressed by the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi. consultations of the alliance countries, which are taking place in closed mode today for the whole day in vilnius, provides the following information : germany blocks the invitation of ukraine to nato at the summit in vilnius, the position of germany and chancellor olaf schultz personally is the main obstacle to the invitation of ukraine to nato at this summit, according to the source initial the wording about inviting ukraine when conditions permit was proposed by nato secretary general genssam stoutenberg, and this wording itself was discussed with

as for how effective they have been, john kirby talked about this with reporters yesterday. listen. >> they are using them appropriately, they are using them effectively and they are having an impact on russia's defensive formations and russia's defensive maneuvering. i think that i can leave it at that. >> one of the other interesting points that john kirby made when he was speaking with reporters is he said that the u.s. is concerned about russia targeting civilian ships carrying grain or going to port to collect grain. the russians have already said that civilian ships headed into port are fair game because they could be carrying weapons. kirby is now concerned and the cia director made similar comments yesterday that the russians may strike civilian ships going into port and blamed ukrainians warning of a potential false flag operations. russians called it pure fabrication. >> scott, thanks very much. >>> all right. the u.n. secretary-general condemned russia's attacks on odesa and saying the destruction of port facilities is having a negative impact well beyond ukraine.

in addition, john kirby called russia's exit from the agreement without responsibility.l, you probably already guessed that a-a this statement and in general all the statements that have been circulating in russia for the past day have already been commented on in the kremlin itself dmitry peskov - this is what the spokesman for the kremlin master putin said literally like this quote, this is an issue that should be recommended by our military because we are talking about a zone that is very close to the war zone, and without security guarantees certain risks arise if something is done without russia, then these risks must be taken into account we cannot say which countries can take these risks and how big they are, well yes he spoke about the fact that there are statements regarding the possible transportation of ukrainian grain through the black sea and without an agreement. well, it is only interesting if, for example, ukrainian, or rather , grain boats will transport ships of the turkish navy, or will there be kov with putin is the same somehow uh boldly i would say

cheryl: so clean up on aisle 5 congressman from john kirby because of what the president let slip.it's the 155-millimeter we weap, that's what they're talking about, that was kirby. those take four to seven years to replenish. i'm sorry, the defense industry wants guarantees they're actually going to get -- they're going to be hiring, they're going to ramp up production. that can't be a temporary fix because president biden slipped and kirby's trying to save face for his boss. >> you're absolutely right, cheryl. we have to be ready for the pacing threat of communist china and their aggression towards taiwan. we have to have the stockpile of ammunitions that we need, in particular the one, five, five rounds that are going to be the most used. we have to have the high marks rockets that we need. we have to have the naval assets that we need and that's why in the national defense authorization act we went beyond the president's budget. we want to rebuild our military. we want to add ships, not take away the number of ships so as we look at the world stage now, we don't need just to be

this is so big from united ceo scott kirby in which he says that faa is now heroic.to not only a couple weeks ago, when kirby was putting the blame on the airlines melting down the last week of june, specifically on the faa, and its staffing issues at major air traffic control facilitiesp. in a memo to his employees slards with us, he said the faa failed us this weekend, the weekend of june 24th and 25th. now kirby saying the faa has been helpful over the last couple weeks, they are trying to make things right again, and in this first admission since this meltdown by united airlines, they had about 3200 flights canceled in june which was especially important leading up to july 4th, he's now saying that faa is trying to really help out the airline here. i want you to listen now to what he said. >> they deserve a lot of credit for what they've been doing because, you know, they're 54% staffed in new york and to have that event be managed and contained, you know, was some heroic efforts. >> i just want you to remember back to last summer airlines canceled about 50,000 f

. >> well, the white house's john kirby said yesterday that the administration is working with the defense industry to restock. >> we are working very closely with the defense industry to try ramp up particularly for artillery shells. we gave cluster knew missions to ukraine while we ramp up production. we are having very, very strong considerations with the defense industry and we believe we will be able to get there. >> i sure hope we do. kirby was responding to the centers for strategic and international studies that found replacing inventory could take between 4 to 7 years. >> brian: alexandria looked like drones that did it but they didn't get the train. the train is the one that delivers a lot of the weaponry, correct? >> yeah. you are exactly right, yeah. this is a route for vehicles and for trains. it seems like the train could have been the target of this. they only got the westbound side of this roadway. if these were naval drones i don't know how accurate those could be. this looks like something, unfortunately, that can be repaired. and that access is still in some way will be

that is, if you remember kirby. and so, at one time , he said not so long ago. well, just at the very beginning of rocking. here is the latest process around. uh, the kirby zaporozhye nuclear power plant said the united states sees no sign of the russian federation preparing to commit. what's more, he said about the absence of signs. uh, russia's preparations for delivering a departmental blow. he said, and they seemed to be silent, as for the uk , and these keep some deathly silence for the entire period. if you have noticed this aggravation of the situation. and well, my data. of course i could be wrong. uh, well, according to my data , it is mi-6 that oversees. uh, it means that the actions of ukraine are sometimes adjacent to the daru and zaporozhye region further already. uh, what is called without comment from the continuation just on this topic, information appeared that ukraine and the united states could monitor what was happening at the zaporizhzhya station with the help of us, and the system. here's what you think of it. well , let them follow. uh, in

it makes it worth it. 20—year—old ashton kirby, the uk's youngest wine grower there.eaking, it's a day of sunny spells and showers, although there are some longer spells of rain around, particularly for northern england and across northern areas of scotland where the weather is going to be quite wet today. nevertheless, for many of you, it is a day that you might spot a rainbow or two in the skies like this one from northern ireland sent to us earlier on. so probably some of the heaviest rain will be working across northern england to lincolnshire. showers break out across east anglia. south east england. yes, i think we probably will see a shower at wimbledon, but any rain interruptions, probably quite short lived, maybe ten or 15 minutes, and then the sun shall be back out. temperatures for the most part, a little bit below average, generally about 17 to 19 degrees celsius today. overnight tonight, many of the showers ease for a time, although there'll be some more rain developing across wales and south west england later in the night. and our rain band in northern

one kirby noted that the f 16 will not be changed only in 16. the course of the war. well, because first of all, even quantitatively, our let's say that the representatives of the military command said that 200 modern aircraft are needed for advantages over the russians in the sky well, we still have light, well, let's say so. a few dozen approximately up to 40 dashes 50 + of course, now the official level is expressing various omissions, but the transmission in 16 will allow to shoot down all 100% to sonic cruise missiles, but here we should not forget that such a thing as if i was in 16 we need, first of all, to replace not only morally, but actually physically outdated fighters of the mig-29 and su-2 types 7 ago weighted average if kirby clearly hinted that if on one side well that succeeds to speed up the transfer process in 16, but at the same time it is worth it

well, let's listen to what kirby says. we are striving to implement the plan with the training of ukrainian pilots to control the f-16 in romania and denmark cannot show the day on the calendar when pilot training will begin in each of the countries, there may also be other places where everything will be organized, i know that the british are starting language training for ukrainian pilots so that they can control by f-16 planes well, what i hear here from the diplomat is most likely in august, in august all these processes should be finalized , the training of the ukrainian military should begin, it may last somewhere up to four months, they hope well, then as soon as the pilots appear, they will start transferring planes to ukraine, the forecast is somewhere in december, the maximum program is january-february , but in any case, everything will depend on the training of the pilots. well, it is about to start, colleagues kyiv dima very thank you as always for the detailed story - it was our special correspondent in the u

west they immediately made it clear that this position is not shared by white house spokesman john kirbyton does not intend to use its navy to escort ukrainian bulk carriers in the black sea kirby added that the only option for kiev is to export its grain by land, however according to him. this is difficult and ineffective . let me remind you earlier in moscow , our country was ready to return to the implementation of the grain deal as soon as all the conditions for removing barriers to the export of russian products and fertilizers are met. warships of the pacific fleet today left vladivostok in the near future they will take part in joint naval exercises with china interaction north 2023 large anti-submarine ships and two envelopes a few days ago , four warships also left china for a meeting and the ship was provided with the main purpose of the exercises to increase the level of strategic cooperation between the armies of the two countries and maintain peace and stability in the region. abnormal heat does not leave europe , but on the contrary, the reason for this will increase , the

coordinator of strategic communications of the national security council of the white house, john kirby emphasized that they still believe in the open door policy and therefore there should be a serious discussion between ukraine and the alliance, at the same time the country will not leave the entire zone between nato and russia, all the actions of the allies show that they are completely on the side of ukraine naked border to contain the ukrainian counteroffensive russia has transferred troops to the front from the border with china, british intelligence informs about this, as analysts note in the area of ​​the large novosilka in donetsk region, people are dying rashyn army and marines who were a counterweight to the chinese army 222 settlements of chernihiv oblast were left without electricity due to bad weather, a thunderstorm and strong wind damaged hundreds of power lines. this was reported in the chernihiv regional military administration . chernihiv and nizhyn districts were the most affected. heavy rains with thunderstorms covered the spanish city of zaragoza in the northeast o

and noncluster munitions that can be used for artillery, and a point with john kirby, which is in thehey're now in, in this very dug-in, trench-driven fight in the front lines, these are helpful. they're extraordinarily dangerous but something that can help in this particular stage of the war and to some zreeshgs allies recognize that. >> and this decision by biden to send the cluster munitions it is a difficult decision. it is a decision i don't think is going to have a big political ramification. but i do think those on the left who are concerned about biden, who are concerned about the war, i think it is another argument that maybe he's going too far. why is he using these munitions that could harm civilians. that's a fact. what the administration is saying that, look, if you give these to ukraine, they are going to be using it on their land. and that they are going to be careful because they know it is their civilians that will be injured if these things are not, you know, if they don't get them cleaned up the way they should. >> such an important point, "the wall street journal"

john kirby will join us live just moments from now. >>> and grand jury selection set to begin today in fulton county, george, where former president trump is facing yet another potential indictment. this tomb for trying to overturn the 2020 election. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. >>> a kruch nato summit underway. president biden meeting with allies as the war in ukraine rages on with no end in sight. a major show of force and unity, sweden is poised to join the alliance after turkey gave its blessing. it's a huge strategic blow for vladimir putin. president biden sat alongside the nato secretary general as he welcomed sweden to the table. >> following the agreement yesterday, we will soon also be welcoming sweden as a full-fledged member. so welcome to you.

. >>> we're going straight to the white house where john kirby is speaking to the press.'s listen. >> which will exacerbate food scarcity and harm millions of vulnerable people around the world. it's been critical to bringing down food prices which have spiked as a result of the invasion of ukraine. more than half of the 33 million metric tons of grain and foodstuffs that have been shipped through the initiative have gone to developing countries. including some of the most food insecure regions of the globe. the shipments have helped drive down and stabilize global prices. and every shipment under the initiative has contributed to reducing hardship in the world's poorest countries since bringing grain to world markets lower food prices for everybody. russia's decision to resume its effective blockade of ukrainian ports and prevent this grain from getting to markets will harm people all over the world. russia will be fully and solely responsible for the consequences of this military active aggression. indeed, we are already seeing a spike in global wheat, corn and soybean

i'll ask key white house official john kirby about the strike and putin's vow to retaliate for what he's calling a terrorist attack. >>> also tonight, the federal judge in the trump classified documents case is now looking to push the ball forward on actually setting a trial date. we're getting new information about tomorrow's leadoff hearing in the criminal prosecution of the former president. >>> and under fire from fellow democrats, representative pramila jayapal is attempting to walk back her remark that israel is, quote, a racist state. but republican house speaker kevin mccarthy wants more, nann demanding that jayapal's party take action against her. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." ♪ >>> we begin this hour with the war in ukraine and the impact of that bridge attack by ukrainian forces. cnn's senior national security correspondent alex marquardt is joining us live from odesa right now. alex, a ukrainian official now says the bridge was blown up by naval drones. you're getting more information.

but john kirby going on to say that what the us does know is that right now in the eyes of the united states, the government is led by president zima and they are urging the elements of the presidential guard to release it from detention and to refrain from any violence. now what the us is also saying this hours that they are well pay me any statements, but in any steps that can be taken from the economic community of the west african states in the african union to defend new jersey democracy. and that really is the key point there because this is really kind of a key principle of the binding to ministration. when it comes to pushing forward, it is really democracy that is at the forefront of all of the forum policy of the, by the administration. and so that is really of what is of concern not just regional stability, but also ensuring that democracy is upheld. and so that is what the bite and ministration is really focusing on, as well as making sure that the alexa officials are safe. and so that is why there is going to be onboard coordination with those officials on the ground as t

er, the coordinator of strategic communications and the white house security council, admiral john kirbyligence officer , admiral john kilibi, said that if the government kept silent about all this, there would not be a special committee that is engaged in collecting evidence and not only evidence. and if there are, for example, some fragments or something else and the study of all this. well, yesterday, i can add to that , i think that the next hearing should be about what is stored at base 51 on sunday, and the second should be about the functioning of people in the black success rate of those in america, but now you will listen to what else about this matter, already answering the test, what the ex-intelligence employee said, and then what the representative of the white house, admiral john john kirby, said, what the head of nasa, bill nelson, said, he said a very interesting thing, let's listen to what it was shilyuk that i decided that since there are so many doubts about the topic of extraterrestrials, it would be worthwhile to appoint a special committee of respected scientists, t

the protection of ukrainian grain moving sportsman of odesa and odesa mykolaiv district what john kirby to the deployment of warships the black sea is not currently an active discussion i think we all understand that this will only increase the tension and increase the possibilities for a potential conflict between the west and russia. and this is not what we are striving for. well, from here a logical question arises in my mind. the interests of different states sometimes coincide and sometimes not so much, this does not mean that we should break relations, that we should be offended. is it somehow not possible to thank our partners, the americans help us enough, but of course we are now also asking for the convoy of grain ships or at least a statement about what this could be, we are asking from they have long-range missiles for heimers and atakams. and here, too, at this stage, they are not ready to give . agreements with the enemies that the conflict should even be limited to the territory of ukraine and not grow into a direct confrontation with nato, and that is, the agreements bet

i'll get a new assessment from key white house official john kirby. >>> donald trump's new defendantthe classified documents investigation appears in court for the first time. this as trump could face new charges in other cases very soon. >>> the top prosecutor in the georgia election interference probe says she's ready to go. >>> in haiti, an american nurse and her child have been abducted. we'll have the latest on their fate as the u.s. orders all u.s. citizens to leave haiti immediately. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the wo world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> we begin with the escalating attacks and counterattacks in russia's war against ukraine. kremlin forces attempting to hit president volodymyr zelenskyy close to home as ukraine ramps up strikes inside russian territory. cnn's nick paton walsh is on the ground in ukraine. crews have been digging through the rubble after the deadly attacks on president zelenskyy's hometown. >> reporter: yeah, and the target blatantly civilian, a technical college, most severely an apartment

i obviously the obviously used to live up the road west kirby. road as well in west kirby.'ve got time that's road as well in west kirby. thewe've got time for. that's road as well in west kirby. thewe've got time for. we at's road as well in west kirby. thewe've got time for. we will all we've got time for. we will be back next week at the same time. coming up next is the wonderful martin daubney that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. my name is rachel ayers and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office. so it's been quite a gloomy start to the day for many with plenty of rain around and this is all due to this area of low pressure that's going to move eastwards through this weekend, bringing some stronger winds well some stronger winds as well across southern parts of the uk as isobars packed together. now, looking at this afternoon across parts scotland and northern parts of scotland and northern ireland, fine afternoon with ireland, a fine afternoon with some sunny spells an

with our allies and partners to find other land or possibly river routes if any are available john kirby also stated that the us will do everything possible to to help ukraine collect and investigate evidence of war crimes committed by russians in order to hold russia accountable, at the same time he neither confirmed nor denied the reports of a number of american media that that the president of the united states joe biden allegedly secretly ordered the government to share evidence of russian war crimes in ukraine with the international criminal court in the gas a-ah there were scars president i would just tell you that we firmly believe president biden was extremely clear that we want to make sure that russia properly brought to justice for war crimes and atrocities in ukraine, which russian forces, paramilitary formations and private contractors such as the wagner group are clearly committing against the people of ukraine and we from the very beginning made it clear that we will help ukraine, they have a special prosecutor who is gathering evidence we will do everything possible to he

kirby, thank so much for being here. you know the u. s.s have a future in the nato alliance. but no one has really articulated how or when. why not offer them a clear timeline? >> well, i think right now, the focus has got to be, kaitlan, on helping him win this fight on the ground. when this counteroffensive. that's what's right in front of us. and what you saw today, was terrific unity out of the alliance on two things. one, making it clear to president zelenskyy, that there is a path forward. they don't have to use the map, the original plan for entry to the alliance, but they still have to work on reforms. there will be a process to help them do that. number two, and this is not unimportant, there was unanimity never gonna have to continue to work on security commitments long term for ukraine. for when this war ends. whenever that is, however that is. the slogan of a long border with russia. they're gonna have needs. president biden made a very, clear to president zelenskyy, in the united states and across the g7, they would have secur

and the second conclusion, and now kirby, don't need it. to consider it a fool, and you know why kirbyd, because in the head of the american admiral the recognition of a public terrorist act of someone as a terrorist. this means that all barriers of counteraction taboos are being removed from the americans, this is how it works, if you consider someone a terrorist, everything is possible, they spit on everything on international law , everything else needs to be in pakistan, it means to kill a person whom they declared a terrorist or here in syria yes yes no problems. which international law? what are the prohibitions, if we recognized someone as a terrorist. welcome means all missiles will fly to this target. therefore, he understands very well if i say that the kiev regime committed this action and this action is of a terrorist nature, because the strike on a peaceful facility, because innocent people died. it is clear that the task was not to kill two people, but a much larger number of people could die there as an absolute terrorist attack. i admit then. i give russia carte blanche
