shank you, ben. thank you, ben. welcome back to lviv. and lysejoins me once more. lyse, nearly two weeks on in this war, what is your insight into how the situation is developing? i think everyone s assessment is that russian forces have not prevailed in the skies or on the ground, as many expected, with a vastly superior firepower and manpower. the ukrainians have put up surprising and effective resistance, both soldiers and civilians. the air power is still largely intact. we see almost every table surface to air missiles streaking across the sky. what the russians have made some progress has been in the south along the black sea where they have more effective fighting forces, but
which to these cartels. they go through their point of entry. and with the first 72 hours of the war in ukraine with the amount of death related to violence. and those are one of many. that s the government of mexico put out how many have died finally. they don t take into account the people and it s getting worse. steve: that is amazing. and how is the mexican government lost control through incompetence and in superior firepower? or how they just given up and they aren t interested? you have to realize the current mexican president is left of the political spectrum.
mayors are resisting and residents are resisting and even when russian forces are on the streets and we have no doubt that people here will resist. of course russia has superiorfirepower, manpower, it superior firepower, manpower, it would superiorfirepower, manpower, it would overwhelm ukrainian army but the mantra of this war so far 19 days on is that russian forces were overestimated and ukrainian forces both civilians and soldiers were underestimated. i9 both civilians and soldiers were underestimated. 19 days is a very long time in war. it is also a very short time and war, and no one can say with any certainty how long this will go on and how this will all look in the end. find will go on and how this will all look in the end. look in the end. and as this continues. look in the end. and as this continues, talks look in the end. and as this i continues, talks between the look in the end. and as this - continues, talks between the two sides do continue also. how much hope is
it s only strength. we have to forget about putin for a moment and think about generals and add admirals who have to carry his military orders. i think many will dodge their responsibilities to follow putin s order because they know the confrontation means they will be met by superior firepower and they will probably pay an instant price immediately. so, again, it s a rising simple fact, we are at war with vladimir putin. we need other means, economic, financial, blockade of russia, diplomatic isolation but it s just a matter of time before putin decides he can now actually take on nato. right now we can do more supporting brave ukrainians who are not just resisting but just, you know, penalized a russian army. but with so many civilians around so i think this war will continue and it s damaging for the image of democracy. we are watching, you know, from the front row the most powerful
