able go in or come out. there is a reason why this road has tank traps basically tanks would come rolling down, they would blow up to stop an invasion. and so obviously takesit is a h secure area. so how did he run across? we re learning that he was supposed to get on an american airlines flight to dallas but after going through all the security right at the gate to the plane, he claimed that he had lost hiss passport and was escorted back outside of the airport, somehow made his way here tuesday where he was able to get on a tour, he had booked a tour, passenger manifest was approved bayou nighted nations command and he along with 40 other people took a bus over to the joint security area where he was basically according to others on the tour run across and get into a north korean van
ukraine s trying it to get it back. but russia has dug in for a year now and they have really destroyed the territory they ve taken over. there are mines everywhere, there are tank traps everywhere. it s going to be difficult for ukraine to take it. and what ukraine is trying to do is break off the supply lines, limiting the supply to the soldiers that are on that front line. so this is a very difficult situation. and it also points 0 os out wha russia is doing and how it impacts the world. it impacts as you said food to the world and now russia has cut off the grain. it s imperative that the rest of world, china as well, put pressure on russia to stop this war and at a minimum, allow the world to be fed, to allow the grain to come out. i hope they realize how devastating it is not just for ukraine, but the rest of the world.
tank traps and hundreds of thousands of landmines out there that they have to negotiate. they lack the equipment that we promised them, and they don t have the personnel they need and they have not pushed forward the logistic, and okay, the issue of battle fatigue, so it is important that we continue to show our support to the ukrainians with this f-16 support. i would say that this is also, john, that the biden administration needs to prove u.s. contractors on the ground in the ukraine to help maintain the aircraft. i am getting reports that perhaps 50% of the equipment that we gave them is not operational, because we can t maintain them. thank you, general, for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. sara? a critical hearing tomorrow in the former president trump s classified documents case. what you can expect. and now, new information on the gilgo beach killings, and plus a warning that there is
adapted their strategy, neil. they ve found that the kind of rapid maneuver combined arms operations just are not possible in the south in particular where the russians have been establishing belts of defensive lines for many, many months. they ve dug in tank traps, there are mine fields of anti-personnel and anti-tank minds, there s concertina wire. there are dragons teeth and other obstacles and fortifications and, of course, russian troops in trenches, all of that would call on russian artilleryly that is used to suppress and attack the ukrainians when their trying to breach these obstacles. the the ukrainians now are deliberately conducting a variety of precision attacks to reduce the russians capabilities, attacking their fuel depots, their logistical sites, their headquarters, their reserve force assembly areas, their artillery pieces and then even the troops in the trenches. and these cluster bombs are
the last six months prior to when the offensive began injune, all the time that the ukrainians were getting trained up in the west and building up these armoured brigades, the russians used that time to dig in, really effective, almost impregnable defensive lines. they re not stupid. they looked at the map and they thought the obvious place ukraine is going to want to try and drive their main thrust is going to be south of zaporizhzhia towards the sea of azov to try and split the russian occupied area in two. so they put in deep trenches, tank traps, concrete dragons teeth blocks, minefields, interlocking arcs of fire, all covered by artillery. and that s proving quite an obstacle to the ukrainians. it s not completely impregnable, but the progress they re making is very slow. and quite costly in terms of lives? hugely costly. and one of the big differences between the two armies is that the ukrainians care about their casualties. the russians seem to have
