now they ve defaulted to a position where they ll destroy much of the civilian infrastructure in ukraine. but i cannot see them regaining the initiative to seize odessa, trying to seize car kyiv, or i don t think it s going to happen. these people have lost too much equipment, too many people, and they haven t learned from their mistakes. their logistics are a mess. their manufacturing base can t keep up with the war they re fighting. as long as the west stays with ukraine, which i think is going to happen. ambassador mcfaul, the ukrainians i think would offer the same assessment. but i think their pain at seeing their country obliterated by the indiscriminate bombing of infrastructure and civilian targets. people are still dying in ukraine just about every day of the week. what is do you think the west has the appropriate level of pressure on russia right now?
us from california. thanks for your time. us from california. thanks for yourtime. giving us from california. thanks for your time. giving a us from california. thanks for yourtime. giving a military expertise, i wonder what you make of this extraordinary, have been shown a map of this extraordinary level of gains by ukrainian forces. how have they managed that? i ukrainian forces. how have they managed that? managed that? i think it s a combination managed that? i think it s a combination of managed that? i think it s a combination of things - managed that? i think it s a combination of things but i managed that? i think it s a l combination of things but let me start by first saying, i think a primary reason has to be absolutely extraordinary deception plan they put into place. forthe deception plan they put into place. for the last month, they ve been talking, hinting about attacking in the southern kherson first and they ve done just the opposite, they went north. they went in
disappears in a sea of corruption. this desperation is very dangerous and they re losing once again south of car kyiv and people in the area talking about fighting and winning a limited war, which is collusional and we should have given up on that decades ago and it s coming back in vogue. tucker: this is a tragedy for people living in ukraine being killed in huge numbers. why not settle this war and return energy prices to normal and stop the economic catastrophe we re facing. i think the biden administration is trying to figure out how they retreat from the dumb position they ve taken to this point. i don t think they can do that very easily, do you? tucker: you know, i think the consequences of not doing that at this point could include the impoverishment of the west, maybe they should? absolutely but i don t see it happening. i don t either.
bodies. so we got a call this morning, and they said they found, additional bodies, they believe he was in a uniform and buried february 24th, the first day of the war, that is where, according to this team they say they stopped the russian advance. so you can just see, no people living there, and really only military here, and very fast cars going back and forth, this is the road out of the city. and no people are living there anymore. another very loud truck. you ve got lots of wreckage. and it is a sign of russian wreckage, that this team says that is what they believe, they know russian soldiers are buried. so what happened to this body, they watched it assessed and put in an ambulance and put in a forensic s center and figure out who this person was and of course he was in a russian uniform, telltale sign. ha this is what is happening on the outskirts of car kyiv, they
