let s not take information tranquilizers, the retired colonel advises, and pretend ukraine s armed forces are nearing a crisis of morale. because that s not even close to reality, he says. the pro-kremlin anchor pushes back, saying there have been individual cases that show otherwise. but the colonel is insistent. with european military aid now coming in to full effect, he says, a million ukrainian soldiers could soon join the fight. while frankly the situation for russia, he says, will get worse. it is scathing. but he went on. we are geopolitically isolated. the whole world is against us. even if we don t want to admit it, he says. telling millions of russians who get their news from this state
rising by 50% compared to 2020. could that happen here? well, jake, there s no doubt that u.s. farmers, much like farmers in the uk, are facing real challenges right now. fertilizer costs are through the roof. feed costs are up significantly. diesel prices are at record highs and the war in ukraine is making all of that worse. as you mentioned, milk prices in the united states rising at the fastest pace since 2008. it s important to remember that milk is heavily subsidized in the united states, so that helps ease some of the pressures and the usda is forecasting milk production will increase slightly this year and next. but i think bigger picture, whether it s milk or food or car prices, there s a cost of living crisis in the united states and around the world, and i think that the longer the war in ukraine lasts, the more pressure we re going to see on inflation. all right, matt egan, thanks so much. a look at how life has
