well earlier i spoke to mark montgomery who's a former us navy rear admiral as well as being a nuclear—trainede began by discussing why russia conducts such nuclear drill exercises. these are routine drills that are conducted every year. right now the us and nato are conducting a similar exercise, smaller with b—52 bombers and tactical fighters. this is a very large exercise that is typical for the russians, it is also typical for the russians to fire, it is a little unusual to fire submarine missiles all in one event but that is probably a little bit of posturing by president putin but in general this is routine things happening in really a routine mannerjust not at a routine time. so if it's a bit of posturing but mostly routine, what likelihood then, we talked lots about it, is there of any escalation within the war in ukraine? first, in your clip you had a great comment from the ukrainian leadership that was very mature and deescalatory, the united states has spoken about it that way. this is the way we have to treat it, we have to act like the adults in the room and hope you can expect pr

well, earlier i spoke to mark montgomery, who's a former us navy rear admiral.he loss of lyman as a major setback. yes, i do think losing lyman is a setback for the exact reason your reporter noted. which is that it is a strategic railhead for russia. one of the problems russia has had is logistics throughout the last eight months of fighting. losing lyman will have an effect, a negative effect on their ability to protect the rest of the donbas regions. tell me more about its logistical problems, tell me? sure, russia really struggled in the first months of this campaign with 200 to 300 kilometre logistics trains. they showed they were no longer a large—scale manoeuvre army. many of us thought, as they got to this tighter combat, right alongside the, you know, eastern border of ukraine and russia's border with a0 to 50 kilometre logistic lines, the russians would be able to fight more effectively. but clearly they haven't been able to and they are losing here and they are losing in other areas, but slowly. some people, analysts are saying kyiv has the momentum o
