We talked about the good news of sanctions. but there are literally hundreds of new sanctions that we could impose. we should have a big bang approach to sanctions, not incrementalism. and third, i think the same thing about weapons. if you listen to general, the commander in chief of ukraine, he says give me 300 tanks and i will push the russians out. we should test that hypothesis. we should give them the offensive weapons they need to try to push the russians out. so we have done lot. i give ...

That ukraine needs, not only to be defensive, as weve seen. when you look at protecting against missile strikes and drone strikes, but to enable ukraine to go on the offensive as were talking about right now. whether its in the middle of winter, in the spring, or later, i dont think we need to dictate the timing for them to do what they think is right. but there has to be a decision made to provide the type of of ants weaponry that ukraine once that seems to be opening coming forward —— adva...

Eastern europe who are part of the soviet bloc at one stage, like poland and the czech republic. essentially, they are talking about a small number of tanks, a dozen, a squadron�*s worth of challenger tanks. the importance is more about the big picture, about crossing the threshold of doing something that has not been done before. we have seen that with weapons. i meant have been given to ukraine in some countries were reluctant to do that. we have recently seen the us, france and germany prov...

Challenger tanks as a offensive weapons? would they be again changing on the battlefield? the definition of _ changing on the battlefield? tie: definition of offensive changing on the battlefield? tte: definition of offensive and defensive are difficult to put down on paper because most weapons can be used both ways. if you are talking about tanks and if you are using them with artillery and you are trying to take ground, that is what they are used for, to give an element of shock and to back up...

Offensive weapons the patriots that were going to be given to ukraine those are huge because they can shoot air war now he can shoot down a lot of these cruise missiles effectively they are some of the best military tools we have in the united states, but they want to use long range missiles to go into russia, to be more offensive, to take out tactical supplies there. so what i heard was, we need to keep fighting, we need to keeping aggressive this is not going to be a table for peace anytime so...

Fact of life, and that is a pressing concern for people. yes, they want as many weapons as possible. weve talked to soldiers or retired military who say they need as many weapons they can get. they want offensive weapons so they can try to take back crimea, which putin seized almost five years ago. they want to regain ground to the south and east. right now theyre holding the lines but theyre not able to regain especially as russia uses these mercenaries and theres a potential new front with rus...

Will escort the chamber through the lobby doors. >> ambassador, michael cfall, i apologize. let me ask you again what you see with zelenskyys team why this was so important. >> you were talking about concrete objections with this trip. i think there were two. one with the president and his team, they want more offensive weapons. they believe this is not in their long term national interests. thats what the conversation behind closed doors i think is about. today is to explain why we need to stay...
