boast by russia that it is something that they have that the americans don t have. so clearly trying to position himself there, not quite as making an outright threat, but a threat of a threat, i think, wolf. yeah, it s very worrisome, indeed. sam kiley in kyiv for us, thank you very much. let s get some annulus right now. cnn military analyst, retired general wesley clark, the former nato supreme commander is joining us. thank you so much for joining us. first of all, will the ukrainians be able to withstand this most recent very aggressive push by russia in the east? i think they can hold it, i think they can envelope it, i think they can cut off the logistics for it, and i think they can prevail in this eastern fight. however, it s going to take more and more resources from the west, and neither the united states nor our european allies are doing enough right now.
