determination has everything. i mean think about the numbers that the ukrainians have, even if all they have is a molotov cocktail. how many are left in kyiv? 1 million? 2 million? there s no way in my personal opinion as an expert in urban warfare that the russians can take this without paying a huge price. so the question is how much of a price is he willing to pay? let s talk about even with that, i want to talk about this convoy heading towards kyiv. senior defense officials saying that russian convoy heading there has stalled, that russian forces are facing fuel and food shortages and probably some morale issues as well because they didn t think they would be facing such challenges. you think this is giving the ukrainians a critical window to exploit. talk to me about that, colonel. every hour they so if i was a soldier, a commander in kyiv at this moment, i would be on a 24-hour cycle, barricading every street, every alley, every house, turning every inch and
these are the things that i would do. like they can t stay on the streets. that s the type of information that that s the planning and preparing that has to happen now. nobody can stand on the street because then they re immediately going to be struck by something. but urban terrain, don, it s the great equalizer. it doesn t matter how powerful that military is. think about the battle of ma sewell. we provided complete air supremacy for the iraqi security forces and it took 100,000 forces to get 5,000 rookie terrorists out of ma sewell. it took them nine months to do that. wow. this is not going like i think there s this narrative that the ukrainians don t have the advantage. they have the hope. they have the will. and right now they have the strongest form of war, and they re preparing every hour that this goes on. colonel spencer, learned a lot. very interesting. we ll have you back. thank you so much, sir. i appreciate it. thanks, don. thank you. a rare moment of uni
airfields they land them at are airfields that have not been damaged indefinitely. always learning a lot when we have you on. thank you, colonel, i appreciate it. you bet, don, absolutely. russia attacking targets, homes, churches, shelling. next, what urban warfare is like on the ground.
colonel spencer, thank you. we ll see you soon. thanks, don. cities across ukraine bracing for attack, we ll go to odesa next, where our reporters even see kids helping to build defensive infrastructure. stay with us. she ll get some help from fidelity to envision what s possible. fidelity can help her prioritize her goals by looking at her full financial picture. plus they ll help her pick an investment strategy, one she s comfortable with. and with a clear plan to get to retirement, rayna can enjoy wherever she s headed next. that s the planning effect, from fidelity.
