achieve a, quote, major break through. they re building up an extensive system of trenches in the south. tell us what you re seeing. yeah, there has been an extraordinary network dug possibly according to this british intelligence report the largest we ve seen since world war ii across the southern area of vap wreegsa and we ve driven along the ucrayian side of it for quite a past number of weeks here. often these are deep trenches followed by a significant sand back backed up by razor wire and these dragons teeth peer med shaped pieces of concrete form a complex set of defenses but certainly a challenge. there ll be very much in the mind of ukrainian forces as they probably in the days ahead if not already in the days behind begin the counter offensive in these areas. we simply don t know the full details of their plan to be honest, and weather is potentially playing into it. there s been an extraordinary lack of videos from ukrainian military over the past weeks they norm
lack of videos from ukrainian military over the past weeks they normally post from the front. but those we have seen have talked about slowing down the move around the battlefield. frankly that will be advertised. we also from the ukrainian ambassador to the united kingdom in fact this bad weather is playing a part. but sunny one day, rainy the next, all this plays into the broader issue here, jake. and we re of course also hearing from around the city of bakhmut so deeply symbolic that russian forces there are expressing concerns about a lack of artillery shells and the possibility that might mean they might have to start pulling back. we re also hearing about increased attacks and sabotage in occupied areas in the south. tell us about that. yeah, certainly building up this broader anticipation of the counter offensive are a number of attacks, what you want to refer to in occupied areas behind enemy lines particularly in a key target city for ukraine to liberate in the weeks ahead
cities into siege, what they re going to have to do is dramatically increase the number of their forces in country, because when you have a siege, you not only look inbound towards your target city, but you have to look behind you. you have to have forces prepared that are looking behind you, and that s where the ukrainians are going to be coming in and launching that guerrilla warfare. so, it s quite a fi the russians have got themselves into. and hats off to the ukrainians. their defense has been absolutely extraordinary and you have to give them credit. so i guess, ambassador, then, the question becomes how does putin think he can get out of this fix. everyone day brings more sanctions, more international and economic pressure. nbc is reporting new intel suggesting that while there s nothing to say that vladimir putin is unstable, it suggests he s frustrated and isolated. we see where he s seated 20 feet
