indiscriminate bombing and shelling. this is a really worry. ukrainians doing hugely fantastic. there s no other way to reference it but a lot of worry about whether they will be able to keep it up and how mad putin they be and what he wants to do about all this , anderson. general clark from a military strategy standpoint, what do you think they do in terms of trying to capture kyiv and decapitate the leadership. i think they infiltrate at night. larger and larger sabotage parties. they will go after the commun communications, power system, the utilities so there s no heat in there. they will put the city into a humanitarian crisis. it will be hard to encircle kyiv because the ground is too soft.
heck out of the past couple days. we have seen video. hundreds of cillians to be killed inside the bombing there. that s one of the reason the international criminal court is launching this investigation into human rights abuses. here is where there is a base in belarus. we are seeing and reports of it reports resupply of that convoy and they are bringing in food and fuel and basically, these forces came down this way and from belarus and they are start to kind of go east a little bit. the thought is they are going to try to encircle kyiv. that s where trey is now and that bombardment is continuing at this hour. jesse: it appears they are reinforcing with supplies that convoy only a matter of time before that gets rolling again. go back down to the large err
those forces from belarus through the chernobyl explosion zone. and we talked about that. that s a mission i don t think he wants to have his forces conduct. that s a nasty nuclear spill zone. why would he want to do that? and why would he want to bring that into kyiv and then own it and have to fix that thing up? so i think we ll see a limited invasion. general, it s interesting. the reporting from our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto who is in lviv is one of the options is to encircle kyiv from a senior administration official, briefed on intelligence, does putin want that type of urban war? does it suggest that s something he wants to invest in? absolutely not. that s ghastly. that s the three-block war. trying to kill somebody on one block, build something on another block and trying to evacuate folks on the third block. that s horrible stuff and we experienced that in our near past, right? in places like fallujah and iraq
move closer to move on kyiv from the ground. we still assess that they re outside of the city center and but what we know clearly that they have intentions with respect to kyiv. what we also have seen is ukrainians resisting quite effectively around kyiv. and continuously. they have made it a tough slog for the russians to move further south. and as i think you ve seen in reporting of your own, that the russians have not only experienced a stiff and determined resistance by the ukrainians, but logistics and sustainment problems of their own. so i can t speak with specificity about the convey and
stands as it is, it will be a battle of attrition on both sides. we know the russian soldiers are relatively poorly trained. most of them unmotivated. we know the equipment is probably pretty good. they re logistics is terrible. they can t repair or refuel or feed the way an american army could be taken care of. and they are road bound. the weather was supposed to be zero and they were to sweep across the open areas around kyiv and sweep in around the city. it hasn t happened. that long convey is on a road. it can t maneuver off the road. it is really a sitting duck for ukrainian targets. either ukrainian aircraft, or ukrainian special forces or others who might go out there. so this is a really active defense that the ukrainians are putting up right now. i want to ask you about that convey. because you say it is a sitting duck. so as far as we know, it is three miles long of artillery,
