territories by the end of this year, at least this is the assumption made by american general mark milley according to him, this task is real, but it a very difficult quote zelenskyi has publicly stated many times that the goal of ukraine is to expel all russians from the occupied territories of ukraine and this is an important military task, a very, very difficult military task, since several hundred thousand russians are in ukraine. i am not saying that this cannot be done, i am only saying that it is very difficult mark milley chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states pavlo lypiychuk head of security programs of the center for global studies strategy 21 join our conversation good morning mr. pavly good morning glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory to the heroes eh in their previous updates of analytical and british developments they just read about gerasimov and his failure on the ukrainian fronts, they reported that, in principle, the operational direction of the armed forces of the russian federation is being shifted from the bakhmut to the avdiiv well in in pri

the angle warned you about china, about milley, about austin, chris wray, and yet too many suburban women, independent voters in key states, they didn't care. the sad truth is that the angle believes biden and company, they've already given up on america. they think that the united states is too far in the hole to climb out. meaning, a managed decline is really the most compassionate way forward. and the rest of the world, they see that america's waning. our own allies, the second biggest economy in the eu, france, has sided with china. so my friends here's the bottom line. the united states is facing the biggest geopolitical crisis any of us has seen in over 40 years. and right now, our leaders are completely incapable of defending our interests. if we, the people, do not demand better leadership, if this group is reelected and given four more years to damage our interests, the long-term harm to the united states and to all of us who live here will be crippling. and that's the angle >> joining us now and i'm delighted, eldridge kolby former pentagon official and author of strategy denial

milley had basically publicly come out and apologized for this. it was obvious after. the election that these were on different sides and yet to read this document. i feel it's one of the most amazing things that as a as a journalist, i had the chance to publish essentially it. it shows you it's not it's not like news headline per se, but it shows you that the chairman of the joint chiefs came to believe that the president, united states was a bigger threat to american national security than any other threat at that moment in time, he was caught doing grave and irreparable harm, you know, to the national security of the united states that he was did not subscribe to many of the principles that the united states fought for in world war two. and so, you know, again, feel like i'm glad were able and had the opportunity you know, to work on this book in order to do reporting like that. there are so many more questions i want to ask and we have less than 5 minutes left. so i'm going to jump to question. i have to ask, you went to mar a lago twice. speaking of opportunity, a

one official tells cnn that general mark milley, chairman of the joint chiefs facility, joint chiefs of staff, is quote piste at the leak and deeply concerned about its national security implications. okay, kylie, you've got some new reporting what's happening? yes so i mean , we now have mark milley, who is one of the top officials at the pentagon whose pissed about this and that's just significant because i think a lot of people have been downplaying this information that's out there. you know, it's not altogether surprising. and you know a lot of this, we knew. or maybe the russians already knew this information about the ukrainians . military capabilities. but if you have mark milley, who is the chairman of the joint chief of staff, being frustrated about this, there is in to believe that there is actual concern for the national security implications for the united states. and you know for the ukraine war and the like. obviously we have to, like, dig into that a little bit more to find out exactly why he's so frustrated, but i do think that is something for us to consider very se

aishah: general mike milley. >> there's no contradiction between what milley is saying and what we are any military cadet at west point and what is the important ingredients of military operation whether defensive or attacking you will see that air superiority and air dominance. in fact, even in the u.s. military doctrine there's a paragraph which very clearly states that without air dominance or air superiority it is not possible to achieve -- there's a radical risk to success of military operations. we are in critical stage. we are losing our people. just today in the morning i woke up and i learned that a 21-year-old belly dancer, talented belly dancer was killed defending our country. every day we wake up and we see the news about people dying defending our country and the freedom of europe and the world. so at this stage, we need to improve our military capability and, of course, we are thankful to our allies for providing ukraine with the tanks and the tank coalition is now up and running. our minister of defense -- now to improve our air defense systems to make sure -- look, let

general milley the u.s. will not be providing for shortage in the arsenal. according to national security, only has 45% approval rating under water all that is foreign policy 44%, border security 36% and with the economy just 35% approval and, of course, this all comes as america waits for president biden to announce he's running for reelection in 2024. so far he's not made it official, mike. >> lucas tomlinson live on the north lawn. thanks very much. ukrainian officials estimating thousands of children from ukraine have been sent to ukraine from russia. senior correspondent mike tobin has story has story from one boy that made it home from captivity. >> you are russia assuming ceremonial role, you have russia's president now subject to an arrest warrant from the un's international criminal court for the alleged abduction of thousands of ukrainian children. ukrainian mothers are fighting to get their sons and daughters back. >> as war raged and russia took care of kherson in the south. a place to be a kid, away from the war. >> 3 weeks past, it was october

you know, i had general milley and secretary austin, i hit them quite hard in that hearing because thists, inflation-adjusted cuts that they proposed every year. i pressed both of them saying, look, this budget, another cut, and they expect us on the armed services committee -- which we do -- to bolster it. but this budget that they put forth shrinks the navy, shrinks the army, shrinks the marine corps, and that is exactly the wrong signal to be sending to xi jinping or putin. so to the answer to your question, we have a great force out there, but they're getting overmatched. there's no doubt in this -- and this administration's not taking it seriously particularly on our military assets. paul: well, what do we need most urgently? what do we need to get out there faster? >> i always like to a talk about the three levels of dedeference, which is what we need, right? -- deterrence. a war in the taiwan strait is going to be the started by xi jinping. so the three levels that i think we need to strengthen each level, the first is the kind of porcupine strategy, what we need to be getting th

trump called the head of the joint chiefs of staff of the american army, martin milley, a reason not to leave billions of dollars of this country's military equipment in afghanistan. britain has the worst economic performance among the member countries of the group of seven the bbc tv channel announced this news based on the report of the international monetary fund . according to the report of this international economic body , the british economy has contracted by three tenths of percent in the last year. the international monetary fund has predicted the economic growth rate for this year. remain below two percent in the world and announced that the economic sphere for european countries will be more difficult than other parts of the world due to the consequences of the war in ukraine. talk about europe kend's speech was interrupted by the shouts of the protesters. the protesters shouted. you don't have millions of french protesters in your streets . you don't respect the weather. of course, what do we want to tell us about europe? they also had a banner and a placard with them tha

this is the opinion of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, general mark milley, he emphasized that he is not saying that it cannot be done, but only that it is a very difficult military task, and regarding the provision of long-range missiles to ukraine for attacks, smilie noted that the united states will not supply them, but at the same time, others are considering opportunities what will allow the armed forces to increase the radius of action on the battlefield an explosion shook a nine-story building in lviv , a grenade exploded there, the police said that as a result of the incident, one person died and another was injured at the scene of the incident works our correspondent ulyana hryshchuk congratulates my colleague and tells what you managed to find out about this explosion so far . hello ulyana, do you hear? presence of the united states in the region , this was announced by the minister of foreign affairs of romania , bohdan aurescu, after negotiations with the heads of foreign affairs of the bucharest nine. this is the only language that russia unders

widespread slides were prepared for a meeting when high-ranking american generals, in particular, mark milleyad of the joint chiefs of staff of the us army and representatives of the us nato forces in europe hosted the ukrainian military at the us westbaden base in germany to conduct a military game in preparation for conducting a counteroffensive in the armed forces, but that is not all. because later new secret information appeared on the network documents of the united states. more precisely, there are more than 5,000 pages that are so related to the war in ukraine, and the investigation of this story is currently underway, which became the reason for a number of publications in leading american publications, including the new york times and the washington post and politics for the hill publication and they are taking this story seriously enough because it is actually claimed that this is the largest leak of intelligence information since the beginning of large-scale russian interference and unnamed washington pentagon officials admit that the scale of such a leak, along with the sensitivi

complex on sams, but as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, general mark milley in an interview with the publication defense one, the united states does not plan to supply atakams missiles, although they are under consideration other options for long-range systems that can be transferred to ukraine , and what can be an analogue of ata kantsiv, and how can we increase the radius of our fire damage or control, there are two options, that is, there is already a clarification that he said there that such systems exist, for example, in great britain and in relation to great britain, there are two scenarios that are quite possible, the first and one of the most pragmatic, in my opinion, those even it will really be much more effective than atakams - it is a cruise missile with a telescopic sight, a patchy rocket , a storm shed missile, it is also known as the scalpel according to its mm paradigm of the methodology of use, they are given relatively intact, still being loaded on the ground, because it is used there for damage. the modern system is used there not only the

now, they are ready to let us strengthen our air defense again in order to uh-uh when we speak mark milley about air control. well, he said that the priority for ukraine is precisely the anti-aircraft defense system against russian missile attacks, as well as such things that are already on the ground, so to speak, basing, that is , tanks and so on and so on. by the way, march milles said that how only in ukraine abrams will appear, that it can change everything, that's how he thinks, the general believes so much in the power of the american dance, the most modern tank in the world, and this is a fact. and by the way, yesterday they heard the question and said that they did not write that in june the training of ukrainian crews will begin specifically on abram tanks now ukrainians the crew is also trained in poland, only in poland on leopard tanks well, abrams tanks are a slightly different story, let's wait in any case, if you said about a political decision, it's true now russia is not our russians e partners in the rammstein coalition will give us everything that could significantly red

its territories by the end of this year, this is an assumption expressed by american general mark milleyording to him, this task is real, but it is very difficult. zelenskyi has publicly stated many times that the goal of ukraine is to expel all russians from the occupied territories of ukraine, and this is important the military task is a very, very difficult military task, since several hundreds of thousands of russians are in ukraine. i'm not saying that it can't be done, i'm just saying that it's very difficult. from the international security foundation yulk kucherev democratic initiatives good night good night mr. zhurdenko do you agree with the assessment of british intelligence that russia's so-called winter campaign has failed or do we already have enough grounds for asserting that it is absolutely necessary considering that the russians tried to do several things at the same time without abandoning their horde tactics and accordingly , the massive use of personnel , the massive use of artillery, armored vehicles , and so on, after the appointment of general gerasimov, it was to

if you take the words of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general milley, when he was asked for his professional military judgment, he said that there should be remaining in afghanistan 2500 rooms. and the vice chair, general mckenzie, said the same thing. those were words two leaders on the armed services committee. so that was the professional military judgment that the biden administration completely disregarded. and this is what the outcome was, a complete failure and abdd responsibility in afghanistan. you can't come to any other conclusion that than that. the biden administration was trying to cover for their own lack of leadership there and their own dereliction of duty. martha: -- maria: i mean, it seems that the botched withdrawal really triggered our adversaries very soon after. of you saw russia go into ukraine in february of last year, you saw china get real aggressive. so what are the long-term implications of the fact that the u.s. abandoned the bagram air force base, left all those weapons there? how much money and weapons did we leave to the taliban? >> maria
