or for more, we can now talk to our correspondent nick conley and cheer. nick russia seems to be accelerating its advance in the dawn bass region. it took russia just from what took them a matter weeks to ah, to conquer subordinates. but the city of lisa chunks right next door they, they took that in just a matter of days is the tide turning in moscow's favor. was definitely worried in ukraine. that in terms of artillery, in terms of guns and boots on the ground, russia is winning this, that the kind of early successes of the spring when you things able to use agile, they can use western weapons quite effective in like more than a gorilla campaign. again, rushing lines that was spread out over hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, but now wherever she is focusing on it, it's about 20. so it's going to the front line in the don't back that discrepancy in terms of resource to really make me feel felt questions like i just not reaching your brain and front lines past enough. we've seen properties for some countries which are still materialized. 16 different. so
