They dont have very good air defense capability, particularly against cruise missiles launched by aircraft. they dont have an anti-ship missile capability to try and strike the russian fleet in the sea of azov and the black sea. they dont have enough remotely piloted lethal drones in there. the switchblade 600, another magic bit of technology, could also make a difference. so i think ukraine is doing very well, but, look, there is zero possibility of putin saying to his generals, "okay, back out...

Talks over the nuclear talks over iran? was it in fact, i read various reports, by the way, mr. ambassador, it was in response to an israeli attack in syria on a weapons depot? what are they hoping to accomplish by this act of aggression? >> we cannot tell exactly what their motives but we know theyre very happy with the draft of that agreement they achieved in vienna. today the russians are playing last minute games with the deal. i think theyre trying to push the u.s. and the european countrie...

Any other countries, if hes down to less than 90% of forces. he pored everything into ukraine. hasnt putin weakened himself on the world stage in now everyone knows their lack of capability. everyone understands their lack of preparation and ability to do what it is they claim they want to do. theyre not going to be a very successful expansion of power, if they cant even get done what hes demanded they do in ukraine. hasnt he placed himself in a position where everybody knows hes weak? >> joy, t...

>> what is the risk, though to nato? >> the risk to nato in my mind is twofold. number one, potential for miscalculation. if something happens near the border that falls into or clashes with nato, what does the president do then? what does nato do then? >> that has been his red line. watching kyiv closely. that convoy disbursed, but most analysts say they are bracing for kyiv to be under heavy attack very soon. what do you think is taking the russians so long? do they not have the capability? or...

We think they have the capability to cut internet cables. there are things the russians could do before we get to that terrible, terrifying nuclear option and that might be something to keep in mind. >> a lot to worry about. >> keir simmons, a lot to worry about. thank you so much. after todays summit, president biden is going to be holding a news conference. it is, we understand, much delayed. the eu council is still not fully meeting yet and that has to come first. but a news conference abou...

I have been watching russia for the past several years. we have been concerned about what they would do, but i overestimated their capability. i should have realized they do not have the experience of conducting joint multidomain operations at this scale. what they were doing in syria, what they did in crimea in 2014 is nothing compared to what they attempted here. this lack of experience has shown itself in poor discipline, in the logistical problems. the fact that their commanders are relying ...

Key areas with regard to, for example, oil and gas sanctions on the russians. buff they were listening. now we are doing the same on the mig 29s and see if they listen on. that was overall, i think there is pretty strong bipartisan support on in brutal invasion by the dictator putin. >> bret: but do you think, for example, the mig 29s would make a difference on the battlefield for the ukrainians? >> well, i think, you know, the beginning of this discussion came when president zelenskyy requested...

In kyiv. i dont like the term stalemate, separately in this region, there are intense battles going on if the russians, and we should take note of this, they have a lot of combat power. if they link these forces together, they can get donbas, the eastern portion. in the south, they cannot hold kherson. kherson is the town they took initially. thats the report we started off with, about aircraft being removed. you can get into a situation here in two three weeks, where if russia cannot continue t...
