we and other allies over the last eight years have been giving to the ukrainian armed forces together with our allies and partners and we will continue to provide that going forward to meet their security needs as they stand up to this russian aggression. i thought it was important to set the level straight because i've seen again lots of reporting on the so-called withdrawals. in other news, 22 started this week. it's a long-standing annual exercise between the u.s. military and armed forces to the key component of the cooperation. the exercise features planning operations, exchanges and activities that increase both of the nation's military capabilities to provide for the mutual defense of the philippine. exercise activities will occur at multiple locations throughout the republic of the philippines and consist of three primary components. a bilateral staff exercise, joint interoperability and combined interoperability as well as humanitarian and civic assistance efforts. with more than 3800 of the armed forces in the philippines and 5100 u.s. service members, this would be the larg

we're going to continue to provide security assistance to ukrainian armed forces.nd we're still going to look for ways to do that in the most effective, efficient way possible. our support for ukraine continues, as well as that of allies and partners. and i'm going to refrain from hypothesizing about what ifs in terms of any disruptions or potential disruptions to that assistance. mike glenn. reporter: yes, hi, john. thanks a lot. question, the russians have violated basically every maximum rule of war you can think of. i mean, under the three to one rule, ratio rule, they should field about a million troops instead of the 200,000 or so they fielded. they're not concentrating forces. they don't have, you know, control of the airspace. they don't have, they didn't have a good situational awareness of their opponent. my question is, our leadership in the building, are they surprised by just how bad the russians have done, have bungled this invasion so far? secretary kirby: watching this as closely as you guys are on a day-by-day basis. and we're refraining from makin

eight years of training of ukrainian armed forces has made an enormous difference in their capability and that wasn't just the united states. the uk and the canadians and other allies were involved so that when these things are arriving there able to get into the hands of ukrainian armed forces and fairly short order. again that's not an accident. that agility that we were talking about earlier that very much was by design because of eight years of quality training that they received. it's probably what fueled the idea that there was training going on. some of these supplies are relatively new to ukranians and your testimony appears you are saying eight years of training by the united states and other countries gives them this yet on newer weapons how can they achieve -- [inaudible] >> i can improve upon my answer. there's no training right now in the classic sense. >> what they are vaping you mentioned and the russian troop movement did the department detect any -- on the side of the russian troops? >> what you mean by de-escalation? >> de-escalation? >> they said there would be de-e

so if, as you say, the ukrainian armed forces are capable of winning this war, then why are you and other the way up to president zelensky, asking for a no—fly zone? well, that's the most difficult parts for us. firstly, it's a huge humanitarian catastrophe which we are experiencing right now. and you saw what's going on in mariupol. you saw what's going on in kharkiv. going on in other cities right now. there are very active shellings of kyiv and that also, russian army, unfortunately, they are not targeting military objects as they claim. they target just plain civilian houses. and what they want to bring to the citizens is a plain terror. they are not trying to combat the military because there are no such targets in ukraine, so it's very well thought out. but, yes, so the first thing is humanitarian thing, but the second thing is also a military thing because ukrainians cannot assemble and start an offensive. because when you don't control the air, the offensive will have a devastating effect on the ukrainian military. well, nato leaders have made it clear there will be no no—fly zone

interesting moment is also indicative, which speaks of control over mariupol by the armed forces of ukraine, and in the ukrainian comment on this news from the downed two helicopters it is said that at the moment the militia of the dpr and the russian armed forces control , rather, not so. and that the ukrainian armed forces do not control more than 10%, uh, of the area of ​​the city, that is, everything goes to whom they were. this was the last attempt. for some reason, i think it was on purpose. and if we look, then where these two helicopters were shot down. this is essentially. coast. that is, they were launched there and allowed to load what they wanted to load and just waited. it was an ambush they shot down there, because it was the last attempt to evacuate someone. everyone knew perfectly well that there would be no next attempt. and, probably, it makes sense to wait for those whom he evacuates and try to shoot down, which, in fact and was produced. that is, it’s not just that you know , two helicopters missed, then they beat him on the return line on the way out. no, i think it was such a trap that thes

and the question about specific coordination or communication with the ukrainian armed forces is better put to nato. what i would just tell you, our support for the ukrainian armed forces right now is very largely in the form of security assistance, which continues to flow and gets into their hands. >> can i just follow up on question from the new york times? is the u.s. a signatory for the 2008 cluster bomb munitions? and if not, why not? >> mr. kirby: we aren't and i don't -- again, we're still going through a policy review on this. so i don't have anything to update you on that. phil stewart, reuters. >> what message would you have to american citizens, including retired u.s. military personnel who may want to go and fight in ukraine? and also, could you comment on the "new york times" report about an apparent russian request -- a chinese request to russia, that it delay the start of this war until after the olympics? thank you. mr. kirby: on the second question, phil, i don't have a comment on these reports that there was a request by china to wait until after the olympics. i think

capabilities with unmanned military vehicles, and operated under the ukrainian government, ukrainian armed forces with pilots and assets organized by the ukrainian armed forces and doesn't have to be provocative, there are rules to this game. we existed in a cold war environment under the looming threat of nuclear war for decades. the rules have always been no bilateral confrontation or really limited bilateral confrontation because it spilled over a couple times and as long as we don't put boots on the ground and get into a fight with the russians directly, they have no interest in this fight. their armies perform terribly and loathe to try to engage with nato on the ground or in the air so they're also going to be cautious but as long as we don't violate that fundamental rule, there is room to defend our interests and support the ukrainians, we cannot be fair-weather friends, they're the ones bleeding out, fighting this fight for democracy and european stability and we just need to lean in and probably take a moderate risk, not anything significant, risk informed, but not something really provo

"we have let them know who the ukrainian armed forces are and who the boys from our brigade are.ken out four tanks and eight fighting vehicles and killed about 60 of their people." well, this was a road of destruction for russian forces. there's one burnt—out vehicle here, another one just up ahead. there are two more a short distance away. and ukrainian troops have been able to achieve this against a much larger army, a more powerful army. in places now, they're notjust resisting, they are mounting a counterattack. for troops here, the priority is to guard this approach to the capital, to make sure the enemy cannot advance. at 62, valeri can't recognise world around him. vladimir putin came, he says, as you can see. our children and grandchildren are dying. i won't stay here. if needs be, i will die here. but i will not give them ukraine. then in anger and in anguish, he kicks at the charred remains of a russian soldier. in a village nearby, more evidence of ukraine's suffering and russia's miscalculations. this tiny hamlet of no strategic value was hit by two ballistic missiles

they don't want weapons given to the ukrainian armed forces, but the west has every right to do that.are limited to the borders of ukraine, then it's part of that war and not part of a broader conflict. >> how long do you see this battle ensuing? clearly it hasn't gone the way that vladimir putin and his generals had predicted that it would. ukrainians haven't welcomed russian soldiers with open arms. predictions what we're seeing playing out could very well happen in kyiv. what could things look like in the days and weeks ahead? >> i believe this is going to be a very long war. the ukrainians are not going to give up their sovereignty to russia and vladimir putin shows no signs of backing down with lesser demands than a complete surrender of ukraine. the ukrainian armed forces can combine with a growing -- a guerrilla movement to create a hybrid conflict and really trap the russian army in a vice between conventional-style attacks and guerrilla operations. and the russians simply don't have the troop numbers to overcome that sort of resistance. so i think this is going to get really
