general mckenzie: sure. i've always enjoyed working with you and enjoyed having you on travel with us. let me take these questions in reverse order and begin with afghanistan. i'll begin with isis. so we assess probably a couple thousand more or less isis fights for the afghanistan. ing of when the taliban opened the prisons, that infused new talent and new energy into isis. so they're now reaping the result of that very short-sighted decision. so isis is, as you know, committed to attacking the united states. they aspire to do that. they're going to continue to try to do that. the taliban has in the past conducted operations against isis and we're now coming into the traditional fighting season. some high-profile attacks have been carried out by isis and even include targets in the kabul area over the last few months. i think the taliban will try to take operations to limb isis. it'll be interesting to see if they're able to do it. isis will be a tough target. there are more of them than there have been in

general mckenzie, thank you for your testimony. how has israel's integration into centcom aor improves coordination among u.s. regional partners particularly as it relates to countering iran in middle east and supporting over the horizon counterterrorism capabilities? >> the entry of israel has given us great opportunities particularly any area of integrated air and missile defense which i think is one of the most pressing issues that all of the states in the region confront when you think about iran. i think of israel come into the aor is sort of the operational effect of the other normalization of israeli relations across the gulf and with other states. we're great opportunities here and i would be prepared to talk more about it in a close session. >> as a follow-up have abraham accords which have allowed for economic and military integration between israel and the arab states signatories enhance our ability to counter china's influence in the least or enhanced foreign military sales? >> i think on the question of china's entry i

general mckenzie my question is for you sir. can you discuss why supporting the d lebanese armed forces is a national security interest for the united states to more broadly with the u.s. will do to support lebanon during this time of a crook severe crisis? >> i support it more broadly as well. their view the lebanese armed forces are so -- the sole representative of the state of of -- hezbollah exercises the maligned influence regionally from a lebanon-based. our best hope to keep a lid on lebanon is to continue to support the representative. i was a briefly the financial situation in lebanon is dire. i can recognize its publicly the worst i've ever seen it in this money will be critical for maintaining cohesion inside the lab and they performed well in the beirut port explosion. it was the lab to do a lot of. work there so that would include allowing soldiers to be with their families. >> my next question is for you as well. according to unicef at least 47 children have been killed or maimed in yemen just in january and februa

fascinating story by david mckenzie. what does it mean russia is using this group in their war on ukraine especially considering their main target president zelenskyy? >> well, if they think they want to try to kill zelenskyy, they obviously don't have the capability, right? they have to go to some third party to try to get this done. it's a level of desperation in my mind and again, an illegal act done by a war criminal as we've been discussing over the course of the last month. >> we have heard of major march r -- moral issues up to the highest ranks and today we're hearing another russian general has been killed. the sixth general killed on the front lines. what does this say about russia's strategy and how they're fighting here? >> what this really talks to is what the ukrainians are having incredible success with. what they're doing is ukrainians are taking the russians off their nets, the communication nets and control capabilities and jamming tactical coms completely in the clear intercepting those so getting ahea

cnn's david mckenzie filed this report from london. >> reporter: it's an extraordinary vessel, nearly million u.s. dollars. it has an infinity wine cellar and a freshwater pool. this is the kind of wealth, the luxury of those allegedly associated with vladimir putin. but this vessel, this superyacht, isn't going anywhere soon. so this yacht is only a few months old. it was delivered to london with much fanfare from a firm in the netherlands. earlier today, officers of the national crime agency were onboard effectively impounding the vessel. now, these yachts have a very complicated ownership structure often. it's registered in the caribbean, they say, with a flag from malta. and throughout the world, there is now a crackdown to target these boats, these yachts, allegedly linked to vladimir putin's oligarchs. i'm david from cnn. are you able to say anything? >> no comment. no comment. >> there's still crew members onboard but they wouldn't say anything to us. the british government has been criticized in recent months for not being harsh enough on oligarchs allegedly linked to vladimir

david mckenzie there from london. this mercenary group and putin himself? >> well, this relationship was quite close from the beginning and this group was funded and helped and supported by a businessman who is extremely close to vladimir putin and they knew each other from the 1990s but later on it looked like the vogner group was part of the special military intelligence and a special department was formed to supervise the activities. >> so the russian minister of defense, when you talk about the defense organization is still missing. the offensive in ukraine is stalled. the russian military death toll seems to be astounding. what are you hearing about morale in the russian military? >> well, it seems that it's not going really well and we have some interesting reports. first of all, on the national guard, we have confirmed report from the activists and lawyers with a group agora that at least 12 soldiers of the national guard refused to go to fight in to ukraine. and they were citing some russian law saying that th
