this visit will surely be seen and will surely have a reflection on the battlefield and in liberating our territories. i know, mr. president, there will be a very significant package of security support to ukraine and currently it will serve as clear signal that russia s attempts will have no chance. let s bring in retired army major dana patard. as we have been talking about, this is an unprecedented trip. you have to wonder what folks at the pentagon were thinking about this trip. i know a lot of planning went into it. our reporting bears that out. but would the pentagon have felt pretty confident about the president s trip to this active war zone, or do you think that there is a lot of nervousness? well, good afternoon, pamela. i m sure there was a lot of concern, especially from the secret service. i worked with the secret service
