behind it. thank you, nic. joining us is retired general spider marks, and jill doherty. we re just getting word of a russian attack on kharkiv, on the heels of the brutal attack on zelenskyy s hometown. how much could it escalate now? it could escalate. what we re seeing in terms of ukraine attacking targets inside russia, and deeply inside russia, to moscow, that are not militarily related, sadly is a waste of manpower. i don t think there will be much juice from the squeeze, if you will, in terms of threatening putin. i think the weapons systems could be used nor fect liver lid, offensively, in the donbas.
what is clear, ukraine s fight on russian soil is having effect. but can it really have an effect to sort of put political pain on putin? that seems unlikely. ukraine maybe need to puncture a bit of the propaganda that everything is going well in the war, but if you re in moscow, it s not going to deflate the message from putin and the kremlin. why? because he still controls the narratives. the strikes are relatively small, not big casualties. it s structure damage so far, so it s not going to this time, i think, not going to put a course correction the way that putin is fighting the war. it may even bring about a level of more specific retribution, but perhaps not just abstract li hitten zelenskyy s hometown. maybe there would be intent
videotapes so nobody could playoff he was moving boxes around. i thanks very, very much. just ahead, ukraine s new strategy of striking on russian territory and the kremlin s deadly response on president zelenskyy s home turf. stay with h us. with family and friends. and chececking voicemail as my activities permit. i ll connect with h you after reconnecting with me. get 1.9% apr for 36 months plus $1,500 purchase allowance on a 2023 xt5 and xt6 when you finance through cadillac financial.
