meeting with alexander lukashenko lukashenko promised putin belarus is ready to produce fiesht jets for russia. we know from western intelligence that they have been putting a lot of fighter jets on belarusian bases and u.s. intelligence is saying or western intelligence is warning of a massive air assault. it's unclear how that would play in but all of those pieces are in place. and you say russia's currently using balloons in some way related to this. what more do you know about that? >> right. so from ukrainian media and other sources, this is basically a cheap russian tactic to distract ukrainian radar, to confuse its air defense systems, and to lure the ukrainians into wasting ammunition on these balloons. but i think what we're seeing is another attempt by russia to ratchet things up, and i don't like to be the bearer of bad news but i think what we're looking at right now, erin, is another attempt by russia taking advantage of that gap between when pledges of western tanks were made and when the tanks actually arrive to do another major assault from the north,
