I am your emergency moderator hologram, what is the nature of the moderation emergency? This week, I am at London Film And Comic Con, it s the last day,
terrible attrition, funneling more and more forces in as canon fodder, using their numerical advantage and heavy artillery and aircraft to do what they re doing now, but they re also suffering heavy casualties and losses of weaponry. so can they do any more? we don t know. we don t know whether they can. some say that they perhaps don t have the ability to go any further than the east. but clearly what they would want is some kind of gain/victory that putin can then sell at home and start negotiating potentially from his view from a position of strength. christiane amanpour, thank you so much for helping us understand what we re hearing today from the ukrainian leader. thanks, john. so a new weekend of trouble for summer travelers. hundreds of flights canceled. the warning from airlines ahead of the july 4th weekend. a weapon that can take lives
we ve seen on russian state television talk shows that run basically around the clock as this really frothy war mongering atmosphere on state tv saying that actually, you know, the reason that we didn t win in three days like we thought we were going to is because we re not fighting as ukraine. this is really world war 3 against the west. this happens to be the ukrainians have been sent to be used as canon fodder against russians. and so the fear is putin could use this to announce some sort of broader mobilization and call up more reserves because as things stand if you talk to military experts, they can t keep up the fighting on the ground for that much longer. you know, as we look at these pictures coming to us live from red square in moscow, max, i m almost thinking how much this is an exercise, a p.r. exercise for soldiers really, for russian troops who have suffered, as we ve reported, from low morale.
