particularly good, and that there are recent civilians in the force coming in, so all sorts of things are going on. but, as i say, you have to remember, this is a propaganda battlejust have to remember, this is a propaganda battle just as have to remember, this is a propaganda battlejust as much have to remember, this is a propaganda battle just as much as have to remember, this is a propaganda battlejust as much as it is a military battle. the propaganda battle just as much as it is a military battle. is a military battle. the line is a little bit tricky, is a military battle. the line is a little bit tricky, i is a military battle. the line is a little bit tricky, i will is a military battle. the line is a little bit tricky, i will try - is a military battle. the line is a little bit tricky, i will try one - little bit tricky, i will try one more question with you. i want to get your take on the us media reports from the last 21t hours on the drone attack on the kremlin. your
demining operations in the city, trying to make a show of some post liberation cleanup there. the wagner chief is sthag they are putting up defense lines on the western edge of the city. he is preparing to leave, he said, with his forces starting on thursday. perhaps that and other challenge to the russian ministry of defense. the infighting that we ve seen in recent weeks. we ve seen with the deputy minister, a dmcompletely differt version. they said fighting continues, ukraine continues to continue on the flanks. most of the gains have been on northwest and southwest of the city, perhaps an attempt to encircle that city. she also says they were thin control of some houses. so it clearly has huge propaganda value for russia.
they retain only a very insignificant part of the town itself. so, look, i think, clearly, there s a real propaganda value to this to russia, to claim victory for the town where there s been so much fighting for so many months. this is playing very heavy in ukraine. and there s a tactic here in ukraine, despite the fact that bakhmut as you say, mostly destroyed despite the fact the outcome of this particular battle, most analysts will tell you unlikely to determine the outcome of the war as a whole. and likely to keep russian forces from that town to stop them from other parts of the front line where they may be waiting to launch this counteroffensive. clare sebastian, thank you. president biden saying the u.s. and rest of g7 nations have ukraine s back in its fight with the russian aggression. president announced a $375 million military aid package as he met with volodymyr zelenskyy during the ukrainian president s
