of the ukrainian military know how to use artillery, just do they know how to use the type of artillery being brought into the country and can they use it accurately? as we have seen with the russians, if you can t deploy this artillery accurately, what kind of effect do they have. they re also firing in places that are inside ukraine, so they re much more discriminating about the target they pick. they don t want collateral damage. it s a much tougher assignment for the ukrainians than it is for the russians who just indiscriminately bomb civilian targets. ambassador, we re going to be watching for a u.n. security council meeting in a couple hours with the focus on refugees. what should the council be focusing on here as we enter this new phase of the war, and you know, refugees aren t just from ukraine. that s true, jose. refugees from around the world are a big issue for the u.n., and they ought to be taking a look at that. the security council, however,
