of the ukraine conflict. it is not at all something that is dynamic. our ability to be flexible, ukraine s ability to be flexible in its attempts to rebuff the russian aggression against them is certainly not stopped by this. it is a static image but it does also reveals some important information about the war in ukraine. one of the revelations is that ukraine s air force may not be able to stand up to russia should they intensify air battles. we know that the biden administration has now promised another $2.6 billion aid package, including some support for air defence. is that going to be enough? even that is static. what you re referring to is the document that was talking about the consumption rate of air defences and what the status would be over time for those, but, again, that isjust of a period of time. we are continuing and the nato allies are continuing to supply both weapons and capabilities that would backfill those capabilities, so russia should not by any
people can take it if you say we re not sure what they are nowhere on top of it in this and as we know will give you more information. judge jeanine: isn t that the reason he was elected question work so sensitive about covid. so reassuring americans could count on his sensitivity. here s the bottom line. never in american history have we had f-22 raptors shooting off sidewinder s over the continental united states. this is unheard of. these are air battles. this president has an obligation to tell us what he knows and what he doesn t know. i am so sick and tired of karine jean-pierre and her word salads. she says three objects are being recovered. the weather prevents them from being recovered but we are going to get those objects. we are going to continue to try. we are going to continue to be vigilant but we think they may be benign. what did that mean? here is the bottom line? if there are and are air
that failed. the long-run plan for this, how would you deal with an insurgency over time and occupy this? they don t have anyone to hand off to inside the country. if you watch what they re doing now, they re reverting to total war. here, mariupol, we just talked about it earlier. that is a humanitarian disaster right now. they re killing civilians. they re not living up to their promises. also here in kharkiv, kharkiv we have massive air battles and the russians are losing aircraft consistently. this is the point to small units in the ukrainian forces using anti-aircraft fire. then here inside kyiv, that area where richard engel was essentially out in this direction right here, this area right here, the ukrainians are tearing up russian columns, between anti-tank fire, just using basic foot-mounted tactics. the russians are not supporting armor columns with infantry soldiers which means they are just sitting ducks repeatedly.
further down, kharkiv, where we ve seen major air battles, anti-aircraft taking down russian jets, taking losses. just this afternoon, there are some initial reports that this is contested down here. kharkiv? just south of kharkiv and to the southeast. the ukrainians claim that they ve taken this back so this is in dispute, but at the same point, the russians continue to advance further than their logistics and further than areas they can control. i think that speaks to a larger problem, which is, over here in donbas, they re meeting resistance here as well so i think consistently what we re finding is russians are facing a much bigger fight. they can t resupply and i think that leads us to what we might see ultimately here happening in ukraine, which is the south. when you look to the south, in particular what you re seeing is they made this advance over a land bridge to mariupol. this is the site of a major humanitarian disaster right now, massive bombing and indirect fires. this
rest of the world, instead of just watching it? reporter: they are right now. i have made a very clear that they need to go things: sanctions on president putin of russia to try to and they need weapons, in the form of antitank missiles, antiaircraft batteries, and everything that can be given to them in the coming days. according to reports, stinger missiles arrived in the ukrainian capital today. this will give them the ability to shoot down helicopters, small aircraft. moving forward, the things they will need most have to do with airpower. they need to control the air above them. we know today, cruise missiles have been intercepted over the city, fighter jets are being shut down, air battles taking place. it s not just the ground they have to worry about. greg: trach, you are a badass and are doing amazing work. thank you for that. we keep hearing reports that
