war but we can change the game with u.s. energy. the president refuses to do that. pete: talking about price is at home what about food? this is a real concern because russia and ukraine are big bread baskets a lot of grain, especially wheat. this is one you may not see prices go up right away but as the year goes on and hip at the gas prices first, then you start getting hit with the food prices, that supply contracts, that is a double whammy for families. if you think about a family but for kids it is gas and food and you know this could be in store for not just america but globally because these are big exporters. pete: we start with the basics and then move over to higher ticket items. again, this has been a problem all year with inflation but the interesting thing about the territory, ukraine, russia a lot of important metals for technology, semiconductors which are in everything. so again as the year goes on the car prices we wanted to see come down, they have been so
from the territory of belarus. but actually there is no laws, no guesses why and where russia comes from next. so i don t think it is really possible to run away from it. there is no place where you can feel safe. pete: what is life like there, serhii popov as a resident a small town of speed domain kyiv and no battles directly around your town right now. missile strikes, air strikes that are arriving in your town. so i know the civilians living in that city, what is lifelike and capable of continuing normalcy or bunkering down and expecting the worst to come? well, authorities come i
going nuts, blaming everybody and willing to blow up the whole world in order to prove himself right. capped and that is a stark assessment of where we are today. a definitive, maybe that is the word i m searching for it, a definitive of where we are today but are you confident that will play out in the coming days? it certainly appears the russia is a superior advantage around kyiv and ukraine. i don t have military expertise to say whether or not this has been a success or bogged down. but from your perspective, you have suggested they are bogged down and incompetent. will that play out the coming weeks as we watch the advancement? so far we see it. and again, it all depends on the commanders and they have different kind of it seems they are pushing forward in the north. of course they are bogged down because very good, and some
huge tactical advantage, and a lot of support in this area, they have pretty much already taken. so, i don t know if putin has a grandes prodigy and this is a part of it but you come in on kyiv real quick, and appear, will he come steadily make way down here or may be, thought he could take kyiv. and start to think, a sprint to the capital city that we saw. but ultimately whatever reason the amount of combat power in crimea has allowed them to advance and dominant so much more discriminant like mariupol and kharkiv, they have yet to do discriminant bombing and kyiv which leads me to believe must bring forces around it before they do that kind of bombardment. one thing you need to know, if you go in and topple everything, you give them a
encircled right now in the south the black russian forces or the black sea or close to taking the entire region over and advancing northward. but if the russians can take kyiv and link up with forces from the south, they are going to come to my cut the country in half and that will be end game this type of operation doesn t happen in days or even weeks. keep in mind, the u.s. tried inn the second world war to take out saddam hussein. it didn t work. but the u.s. also had ground offensive plan as well. and it took three weeks in the u.s. forces to take baghdad. wife would we think it would take the russians to codays to take kyiv and take over the country? these assessments, there is a lot of wishing out there. people want the ukrainians to win and i want the ukrainians to win back and saying they are doing well when they are not is not helping the situation at
