ukraine back in 2015. by allowing a ceasefire, he gives himself the opportunity to repair his own military and to consolidate his gains. some of your reporters have mentioned the establishment of new political leaderships in these captured towns and regions. and that is what we ll be seeing a lot more of going forward. the end of the fighting doesn t mean the end of violence though. and he can continue to ramp up missile strikes, et cetera, both in western ukraine and along the line of contact if he is not getting what he wants out of ukraine and the west. an important distinction there. general, thank you so much for coming on, sir. appreciate it. thank you. and coming up for you, the head of the ub a.n. about to me with vladimir putin. but first, a rescue team taking shelter from a barrage of russian shells.
