This is something that s zelenskyy also talked about his meeting with the president for the ukrainians is air defense missiles. that s important for the ukrainians to try and keep their city safe. you were just mentioning the city of kharkiv, which of course has been pummeled over the past month and a half since the russians launched a big offensive in that area, coming from russian territory, which then again spark the us to allow oh, the ukrainians to use american supplied weapons to hit the russians on the russian side of the border so air defense, very important for them. one of the big things that we have to keep an eye on briana is that the russians have become a lot better at using their air force near the front leinz, a bombing ukrainian positions. and that s also one of the reasons why the ukrainian president keeps saying they need more air defense capabilities. that s also part of that military assistance. the package as well. briana. all right. fred pleitgen. thank you so
