we are not going to take moscow. we don t intend to execute putin on red square. for ukraine, the most important is to deliberate our land and that s all. the spiral we just heard from alexei that member of parliament. he was saying that they are going to be retaking the line where we did hear yesterday, last night, from president volodymyr zelenskyy. he said that this would probably have to go to negotiations. and that s because we re going to start to see something of a military impasse in the donbas region. as we start to see more and more military high tech equipment from the west going to the eastern part of the country and focusing on that fight. and like i said, more russian forces moving out of mariupol, the city that they cannot claim as their own. and focusing there. this is going to be a long grinding, drawn out fight. and president zelenskyy himself has acknowledged this is probably going to have to be resolved at the negotiating table. now with that means, it s hard to
fight to here in the eastern part of the country. instead here we re seeing the ukrainians actually mounting a muscular counteroffensive against the russians, pushing them back. and it s something i ve been saying and i think it bears repeating. we ve seen the full effect of the russian war machine from the beginning. the russians have put all of their technology, their personnel, their material to bear into this fight. what we haven t seen the full extent of what the ukrainians can do because we re only just now seeing all of those western donations, all of those high-tech weapons from the west, from the uk, the u.s. and elsewhere in europe coming not just into ukraine but all the way across the country to here in the eastern part of the country. we re just now seeing what the ukrainian military which so far has succeeded despite being outgunned and outmanned, we re now seeing what they can do with an all-singing, all-dancing high-tech equipment from the west. and so we haven t actual
imports it gets will be coal, gas, oil since the war began that s about $21 billion. so you can see coal is a small fraction of that. the european union also going to block russell vessels and russian-operated vessels from using e.u. ports. they re putting a block on exports. high tech equipment, computers, semiconductors. these rare high tech items. the european union is get being ready to sign off on that. the ministers of the nato nations will meet and looking at what ukraine needs now to step up its readiness for this next onslaught that s expected from russia in the south and east. the country, what sort of weapons they will need to hold back a new perhaps more sustained and more tactically astute attack than the one that was witnessed around kyiv where
