Big guns, not small arms, could help ukraine turn the tide. >> if i can protect myself as a soldier with this weapon, i can protect my comrades, but unfortunately, i cant clear my country from invaders using only this rifle so we need more artillery. we need to have a rocket system, and serious weapon, because its a modern war. >> reporter: u.s. and its allies delivered advanced weapon systems to ukraine, and more are on the way. but the army here is losing men at an alarming rate, more than 100...

In and take over the completely — the flattened territories. its not a sophisticated way of doing war, but thats the way they do it, that seems to be their only capacity, but if the ukrainians gain the capacity, which they probably will with these new weapon systems, firing on russian forces from a greater distance, it will be much more difficult for russian forces to continue to advance. given what you said, it is no surprise then perhaps that president putin issues a counter threat, if you l...

With many of the weapon systems theyre getting. of course, they want more. they certainly still want fighter jets. but that is something theyre not getting at this particular point. but that could change depending on how successful the ukrainians are in fending off the russians, especially in the east. >> about the east, when i speak to u.s. or european officials, they describe a brutal, hellish battle there, with casualties off the charts. we know this for some time, for russian forces, but for...

We heard last week that the united states is going to do it and this morning we heard from the british defense ministry that they are going to supply similar weapon systems as well. now, in the past president putin has made similar threats over western aid, arms assistance to ukraine and the consequences werent as grave as were expected. but over the weekend on sunday morning kyiv saw its first air strike or rather missile strikes in weeks and that was on a railway facility just outside the capi...

So the $40 billion that we spent thus far in ukraine is really only four months of the war in iraq and, again, this is a much more important and existential threat to our nation. >> and, ambassador, i mean, there is -- i guess we can call it a pattern of putin threatening bigger, bolder, more deadly action when it comes to moves by the west. at the same time as weve seen throughout this war putin has ordered most of the deadly action without warning and often lying about it all along the way. wh...
