Has said while initial signs from the talks were "positive", they do not "drown out" the explosions of russian shells. the us said they would judge moscow on its actions rather than its words. again, its very early stages here. theyve onlyjust recently, in the last few hours, made this proclamation, so we have seen a small number begin to move away from kyiv. thats about the most i can give you. i dont have any information on their resupply efforts for troops that are still arrayed against kyiv....

Do you support ukraine going on the offensive inside of russia? >> i just want to say that russians reported three weeks ago that they destroyed in full all ukrainian air forces, so if you take russian logic, there is no air force in ukraine to attack russian objects. from another hand, i dont think that we shall make any comments on things like that. we are in the full-scale war. as more russia has losses is better for us and is better for the world, because again, its not the war between ukrai...

>> youre absolutely right. you know, ellena, the pentagon announced today -- i think this was significant -- that the so-called switchblade drones are, quote, in the process of being delivered to ukraine. how does that change the calculus for ukrainian forces, at least potentially? >> well, i think, look, anything that we provide ukrainians that provides them with the capability to reach out and attack the russian forces and take them out one by one is meaningful. so, this contributes in that --...
