yoautocracy is not very efficie, it s not very effective, not very good even on security policy. yeah, western democracies uniting and more united nato, too, as a consequence of this war. steve fish, appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. thank you very much, steve. and i ll have much more from lviv in just a few minutes. in the meantime, back to paula newton in atlanta. thank you, isa. meantime, outrage is erupting around the world of comments the russian foreign minister made about adolf hitler, jews, and ukraine. sergey lavrov told italian tv that hitler had jewish blood and that the most ardent anti-semites are usually jews. he was trying to support kremlin rhetoric and he shrugged off the fact that ukraine was does, at this hour, have a jewish president.
happening not just in mariupol, but also the developments we have seen on the east of the country and that offensive, as russia continues to push in. we ll try and reconnect and see if we can reach out to him. in the meantime, let s send it back to paula newton in atlanta. thank you, isa. russia s top diplomat drags out a conspiracy theory about adolf hitler in an attempt . and it s not going over well.. we ll be back.
with laughter. i ask if they are worried the russians will return to seek revenge. they tell me, they re not going anywhere. ed lavandera, cnn, ukraine. we will have a lot more from ukraine in a moment. but let s head to paula newton in atlanta and, paula, there is no end to these stories of the resistance and the defiance which is being put up by the ukrainians here against the this mighty russian military. the concern, though, is that this is now turning into a different war, open fields, artillery, tanks. basically, it will be a whole different confrontation and ukrainians may not have the same advantages when it comes to sort of urban warfare with where they succeeded in ed lavandera s report just there. yeah, especially with the russians regrouping. it is sobering, though, john, to think that a woman who was born in the 30s is now looking at a situation where, you know, that war can be just as devastating and and some ways, even more savage. john, listen. good to have you
