first on cnn today, the u.s. is now running low on some high end weapons systems and ammunition available to transfer to ukraine. three u.s. officials tell myself and my colleagues jeremy herb and katie loll, one of the officials described the stockpiles of certain systems as dwindling after nine months of sending supplies to krukraine during a war noting there is a finite amount to send. and among the particular concern about u.s. stockpiles are 155 millimeter artillery shells and stinger anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles both of which had a significant role in ukraine s battlefield success. other weapons of concern as well, the question will the shortages impact the ukrainian war effort. joining me now to discuss, retired air force colonel cedrick layton. good to have you on. good to be on with you.
mykolaiv. one of probably hundreds of scenes playing out across ukraine, a little boy helping move some wreckage from a missile strike in that city. it s likely to get worse, obviously, with winter coming. when you look at these images, what is the u.s. at this point doing about it? well, anderson, thank you first of all, for highlighting these stories because it shows the solidarity of the ukrainians on the ground. i was there a few weeks ago in kyiv and the morale is off the charts, which is cou counterintuitive given what the people are going through, part of that is battlefield success, but part of it is everybody finding a way to chip in and be a part of this kind of self-organization. obviously, the effects of the war are devastating, searing, and the loss of life and sexual violence and, you know, every day these attacks on civilian infrastructure take their toll.
trying to be, it has no impact. denial there, a source from russia s ambassador that putin plans to use nuclear weapons in ukraine. this comes as putin also repeated today the claim that ukraine might be planning a quote, dirty bomb attack. joining me tonight is samantha power, the administrator for the u. s. agency for international development. i appreciate you being with us. i want to start with the images of a little boy from a story that clarissa ward filed this week. it is one of hundreds of scenes like this playing out across ukraine like this. a little boy helping move some wreckage from a missile strike in that city. it is likely to get worse, obviously, with winter coming. when you look at these images, what is the u. s., at this point doing about it? well anderson, thank you first of all, for highlighting these stories. because it shows the solidarity of ukrainians on the ground. i was there a few weeks ago in kyiv, and the morale is off the charts, which is counterintui
hhs officials believe there are $290 million deal was part of an ongoing work and has not been accelerated by escalating rhetoric by the russian president. former special assistant george w. bush michael allen told me earlier that it is increasingly likely that biden will putin will use a nuclear weapon on ukraine. if he thinks he can use nuclear weapons and achieve some battlefield success, he may use them especially if he things the united states or nato don t have the resolves to punish them for that. breaking tonight, a democratic fund-raiser in new york is the world is as close to armageddon now as it has been since the cuban missile crisis 60 years ago. time for today s best viral videos up next. remember this video we ve been showing you all week on fox news at night? the los angeles rams tackler
soldiers over the river that have been wounded on the battlefield against ukraine. but it is just a fascinating turn of events. it begs the question, what is putin s long run plan? and that s where that question of nuclear devices comes in. would putin use a nuclear device? that is one of colonels as well. would they actually go to that length? and would it even matter? when you ask about the drones before, i think it s a sign in some ways of desperation. putin s forces using drones not in a strategic manner but instead just to incite fear in kyiv. it doesn t report to any battlefield success. it probably is not even hitting the military target of significance. just a shock effect. how long can the russians keep that going whenever they re losing ground and how do they ril them up when they drop troops out innocent frof the ukrainian forces? very tumultuous time for the military. the troops feel like cannon fodder. clint, i want your reaction to
