Here but i think that zelenskyy is actually winning this fight. putin is losing the information war and losing the diplomatic war. he is losing the economic war and if this was a prize fight right now i would say he is behind on points. it remind me art imitates life and i remember the rocky movie in the 15th round when rocky is looking at creed and says come on, come on. what putin doesn't want to do and forced into it. he will have to assault kyiv. kyiv is a city now of two million people. used to be three million. 2,000 year old city. he will have to go in and street by street fighting. he ...

Should you be worried if you are in kyiv this weekend? >> well, what's happened now for the first time is we do have combat forces on the outskirts of kyiv on the west side which will be an access to encircle the city from the west and also on the east side, northern east side circle the city on the east side as well. so, that is a first. they are consolidating now. they have taken some losses as you have been pointing out here and certainly on the videoed is very graphic to that case. but, yes, they will begin their offensive at some point in the next couple of days to try to attempt to encir...

To break the back necessarily of combat forces on the ground. so they're trying to combine the two and partly i think because to some extent the combat forces have been stalled, they have not been able to achieve the swift victory, the rapid decapitation of the administration here that they had hoped for. so they're switching back to their old-fashioned attacks on civilians, which we have seen before. remember, grozny, brianna. >> they're making ukrainians pay for this. and, look, dumb bombs, in a civilian area, truly, that is russian roulette, something bad is going to happen. sam, thank you ...

About 55 to 60% are the logistics forces. so what you're talking about truly is the majority of the casualties are coming in the combat forces. so it's even -- it's even worse than you would consider when you start doing the battlefield calculus and the battlefield math. >> seth, in that context, ukraine asks for more weapons from nato and the u.s. obviously has been providing a significant amount of weaponry to ukraine and defensive capabilities as well. but when you look at the incredible losses putin is suffering and then you con textualize it, how does putin see that when it comes to the f...

So it is an intense battlefield on both sides. seth mentioned 10,000 casualties. i'm going to say i believe that it's much higher than that with much higher wounded, but this is intense, modern-day, conventional conflict with high-powered and ferocious weapons. it's very different than what we've been watching for the last 20 years in iraq and afghanistan when it's squad against squad. these are heavy armored equipment against other heavy armored equipment. >> it is stunning when you talk about it, whether it's 10,000 or as you say, general, perhaps significantly higher and then you add in wou...
