On this segment of the program, at least two people have been killed in russias belgrad region after wave of Ukrainian Drone strikes, the governor of the belgrad region which borders ukraine said another person was also injured after three drones hit a village.

Joining us on this edition of the news review, we have independent International Affairs analyst gilbert doctor joining us from brussels. Also, we have independent research and arthur greg simons joining us from ubsalo, sweden. Lets start off with mr. Dr. Brussels, sir, give us your perspective on the recent events uh, in uh, with regards to the uh war in ukraine and how this war has panned out for both sides . I think the most Significant Development was the taking a several weeks ago, event which had enormous strategic importance because it was nexus of transport, because it was six or eight kilometers from from donetsk city, it was base for artillery fire in the civilian portions of donesk over the last years and the taking of the city was impressive because it was held to be invincible by the americans, nine years had been spent building up a a unique defense fortress and the russians stormed it and took it, the the the actual maneuvers were of incredible nature, the one the one of the decisive elements in in the days leading up to the capture of diega was a the use of a three kilometer long pipe. Underground which a brigade of russians used to enter the city and to take by surprise uh the the ukrainian forces, but the point is that this was noted in the west as demonstrating the superior tactics and equipment of the of the russian side. It can be compared to the victory in bachmut a little under year ago, which was the first major russian. Uh military victory in the ground war uh and which was attributed to the wagner group and to mr. Pregojin who was said to be an organizer of unique quality and far superior in capabilities to the regular russian army. Mr. Progorgin is gone, he died. The the wagner group was broken up, we met with some of its members joining the regular russian army, and here the russian army its own achieved major uh breakthrough in the war that is recognized as such by western analysts and has caused en normous despair among the the kiev cheerleaders uh here in here in europe. Greg simons uh give us your perspective as well as mr. Doctor just did about uh the most significant events that have taken place recently with regards to the russiaukraine war. Well, in addition to what gilbert said, i mean you have other events as well, which uh, i mean, first of all, the rather public fight between zelujin and zelinsky, and this is symbolic of the fracturing of the military and the political aspects of the ukrainian front, the fact that noland had to go there and sort things out, and uh, well, of course, sovereinity. And determined who should stay and who should go, so that was one point. The second point, every time there is a russian victory on on the another taking of village or whatever, the ukrainians generally have little back terrorists like strike against some kind of civilian infrastructure in russia, such as the attacking belgrad region again. I mean, this is. Is theyre trying to complate this measure of activity with measure of effect, i mean it has no military value, but they still try to prove to the sponsors that theyre worth supporting, but i think that one of the most very telling things in the current time is the fact that victoria muland is gone, and this is were talking march and of course we know in november the u. S. Goes to vote for the next president , so this. May be signaling and an about turn and that the us is about to uh drop the um sponsorship as you would call it of this ukrainian war uh against russia. All right, thanks lot gene, thats all the time we have for this segment of the program.
