Cannot Risk War News Today

There isnt an international treaty against cluster bombs, which the u.s. is not a party to. but basically, the russians now are using -- theyre doctrine is mass artillery. by the way, i dont think its really started yet, katy. if theyre going to fight in kyiv, which looks probable, the russian artillery units will be firing thousands of rounds a day. thanks will use main tank guns fighting down the street. and it will be a tough war for the russians. theyre going to lose a lot of soldiers. so pa...

Acts? we are hearing that all we are fighting so impressively, but frankly speaking, this has never been our aim. we wanted to press the world with anti-corruption reform, with rule of law reform. we are hearing that a no-fly zone has not been introduced, for example, for syria. but let me remind, 30 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. dozens of thousands of people killed in russian air raids only. do we actually want to repeat that in ukraine? we are hearing that nato cannot risk...

Take more substantial measures against citizens of russian countries that are living on the ground in russia right now. does this presage direct conflict in some of the nato countries, especially because this war is going to go on for a long time. and it increasingly looks unlikely that the russians will be able to capture all of ukraine. they can remove zelenskyy, destroy kyiv, but the west increasingly looks like for the foreseeable future, youll have a war between a government in exile and be...

>> a final question from ari sheaco,. >> thank you very much, secretary. i have two questions. you said that nato will not send fighter jets to ukraine to shoot down russians. its understandable, but there is another way to impose this no-fly zone. of course, the states send missiles, but air defense capabilities to support and currently work in ukraine and defense capabilities with s-300 which are working quite well. the second question is, you saw it more than a week of fighting and how russia...

That the russian government is engaged in orwellian behavior. war is peace. literally, thats what theyre saying, right? the idea that you cannot define the worst war on the european continent since world war ii as war, you have to call it special military operations, and if you choose to call it war and present and distribute that, youre literally subject to 15 years in prison. that is going to anger a lot of russian citizens and its going to anger them a lot more in the coming weeks as the russ...

Different track. with regard to the no-fly zone, i think you heard them speak to this today. one of the examples that we are doing everything we can to give the ukraine people the means to defend themselves effectively, we have a responsibility to ensure that the war doesnt spill over beyond ukraine. and again, because i think he put it so well, as he noted, the only way to actually implement something like a no-fly zone is to shoot down russian planes. and that could lead to a full-fledged war ...

Forces tried to take it in the early days of the war. that convoy was literally approaching it. the ukrainian defense minister said they pushed it back. thats several questions. one, theres talks of air strikes and air power. separately, theres talks of insurgents, possibly bombing that in the rear lines or special operations forces and maybe a blown bridge. essentially, halting that convoy over and over so it cant get to kyiv. >> general mccaffrey, i want to ask about the weapons that russia ha...

>> what have you seen? >> what we are seeing is that international law, international humanitarian law that diplomats are referring to is basically nonexistent for russia. i think what we are seeing, the first-ever deliberate attack of war troops on a nuclear object, endangering nuclear object. i think that this basically means that russia is not -- russia is no in a war with just ukraine. its a war against humanity. what we are seeing is that number and scope of war crimes of russian troops in ...

Ukraines access to critical ports. but to the north, that 40-mile-long convoy of russian troops and equipment remains stalled with intelligence showing that it has made little-to-no progress to keefe over the last few days. joining me now is former fbi special agent, clint watts along with barry mccaffrey. clint, you are showing us where the russian troops are. theyve made a lot of progress in the south, but theyre still stalled not north. so explain this all to me. >> week one, we were talking ...

There are several different ways that people are getting across the country right now, either by train or by road. but most are making for the western cities of lviv and others close to border crossings. im sort of right in the middle of that. im currently staying at a school that has been repurposed sort of as a temporary refugee hotel. its being run by, you know, some local administrators of the school and some local sort of town officials, just as a place that people on these roads can come a...
