The russian movements or pound them where their massed together. thats an advantage now because the russians are using artillery and armor, not very mobile. this is a chance for ukraine to turn it around. it will not be easy, though. >> thank you all so much for being with us this morning. tomorrow richard engel will have a special look at how the ukrainian people are fighting back in the face of war and destruction. thats on assignment with richard engel, ukraine, freedom or death. tomorrow at ...

But so far weve seen that russians are not good at that. the logistic slowed ply lines have been hampered and beleaguered, theyre not very mobile on a wet, muddy terrain. the concentration of armor in the east is going to provide for what the biden packages allowed for. the massing of artillery by ukrainians. those artillery pieces are challenging in themselves, theyre sort of a double edged sword, it takes time to get them in place. they have to counter artillery batteries, which is a electroni...

The last few years, you find broken down migs everywhere. so some of those you take apart and put parts in there and you might have three or four flying air frames out there. by hook or crook, were putting aircraft in zelenskyys hands. and thats what hes been asking for all along. i need tanks, i need armor and aircraft. and were finally listening. the question is if we can do it fast enough because dvornikov is looking to hit that deadline for victory day in moscow. >> also, just on the issue o...

Thats one take away is that theyre going back to their roots. theyre going back to the triumph of mass on the battlefield. the second take away is this. we cannot underestimate the brutality of russians. we cant underestimate their ability to apply that mass and to win on the battlefield. we saw mistake it is made earlier on. we saw they made bad assumptions but that doesnt mean theyre going to do that again. we have a big fight ahead. ukraine has a big fight ahead. well see how much the russian...

Falls. they cannot lose mariupol and the land branch because it really is the way they save crimea, along with that area just to the north there, kherson, which is where the water supply to crimea comes in. >> listen, securing the land is one thing. securing the people, as you can see from the battle thats ensued there in mariupol, is quite different, and these residents in ukraine did not welcome russian soldiers with open arms. let me ask you about the news of another $800 million weapons pack...

Back from mariupol, to donetsk. so they are creating a delay in action, creating more time for the ukrainian military to get here in the donbas region. >> clint, what exactly is indirect fires m. >> indirect fires, when we talk about them, youll hear people talk about russian fires. were talking about artillery, missiles, and aircraft, essentially, air strikes. theyll use a combination of those three to very devastating effects. this is, one, to suppress ukrainian military. two, to try to atrite...

And the u.s. official telling us they are concerned that russia will start attacking the supply routes across ukraine as the weapons come in through the polish border and are taken east to donbas. the worry is the russians will attack those supply routes. the first question is why havent they done it already as far as we know, and were told, you know, the russians dont have the best intelligence on it and these are mobile targets, truck convoys, moving railcars, not something that the russians a...

By russians. they could be saved if americans and europe sent heavy armor and artillery almost weeks before. its eight weeks of this war, and only now, the real heavy weapon is arriving in ukraine. what i expect now is for america and europe to make it very clear that the goal of this war is for ukraine to win and brave ukrainians deserve nothing less than every tool, every weapon they need to win this war, for ukraine to be whole and free. and also, we have to hear from u.s. administration and ...

But as soon as you put that artillery into play those are very less mobile, they are very vulnerable to air defenses, they require radar systems, they require forward observers to spot and assess targets, and then theyve got to be fast at targeting enemy batteries, enemy artillery batteries. to do all that requires training, coordination, communication, and all of that is complex from the ukrainian standpoint because theyre in a defensive mode. so to really get those to be effective the ukrainia...

Armor, more tanks, more everything. a comment just briefly on the time. the word nuclear has been band yee, yes, he did about by putin himself. we need to make it clear perhaps at the meeting tomorrow, it should be no difference. if he crosses the threshold and uses a nuclear weapon, that changes the game as far as nato is concerned. he crosses a boundary that sets the motion for nuclear conflict. okay, hes gannon goone too far. weve the slaughter of innocents. he cannot use chemical or biologic...
