That are being grown up here in ukraine. theyve got to be able to get them out, and if that port continues to be shut down, blockaded as it is right now, theres still 20 ships out there in the black sea, then thats going to have a major impact on world hunger, and its going to have a tremendous impact on this war and the hurt thats being delivered to people all over the world. >> general, how about the bridges that were seeing destroyed, the satellite images we have seen. are the russians destro...

Demonstrate any progress neither near odesa, you know we hit it already by our cruise missiles and several ships. know in mykolaiv where we turn back just a couple of days ago and our battalion is staying there on the border between mykolaiv and not allowing putin to go further and we reun the the putin plan to capture the administrative border of the region and make a counter attack in kharkiv region. so ukrainian forces could surprise the world. >> the ukrainian people of course and the ukrain...

Would sweep through and occupy ukraine. taking over a country or taking over a region or taking over a city is one thing. being able to occupy it is quite another. ukrainians arent going to allow them to occupy these cities long. they just arent it is going to be -- they are going to fight and russians are going to have resistance as long as they -- as long as they stay in ukraine, theyre going to be attacked and theyre going to see counter attack after counter attack. and it is just not going t...

Freedom. we have to anticipate that the russians in some form may plan some form of counter attack. most notably, a cyber attack. possibly on the u.s. government, possibly on critical infrastructure. i have been advising those in critical infrastructure, the defense industry, now even possibly financial services to be on high alert for a possible cyber attack. in many respects, alisyn, cyber space is a new battle space, and we simply have to be prepared. we know the russians have this capability...

Perverted way to protect russian-speaking people by destroying their cities. and of course, they try to do this with the other ones. that is why ukraines enhancing its capabilities, including partners from the west, in order to resist, and to counter attack. with the russian performance so far on the ground, i firmly believe that the counter defensive is very real. >> andre, thank you for taking time to speak to us again. we learn a lot from you. former ukrainian minister of defense andre, we ap...

I dont think the ukrainians are that dumb to fall into the trap. they are trying to trap along the line to bring them in there and destroy them. i dont think zelenskyy is willing to do that. ill fight here, but i bet hes going to fight somewhere else, will throw the russians off guard. >> john: interesting, the wider map them, and now we are in a race for time. ukrainians have to also bring weapons towards this area. this is going to be the ultimate battle. >> this is the great news we have fina...

Maneuver force of sufficient potency to crack that plan. we would do it with deep battle, long range artillery fires, rocket fires, attack helicopters, u.s. air force fighter bombers. its hard to imagine how you create that in the coming weeks in ukraine, so its a real inflection point in the war, and a period of great peril to the ukrainians. >> and general, you said that theres a crucial window of opportunity thats opened up for the ukrainians for a counter attack, but they need the weapons. t...
