driving out the russian military including the wagner mercenary organization and some significant drives there which i think has been a major mo morale boost. we re also learning the u.s. is attempting to destroy one of the u.s. patriot defense missile systems used by ukraine. what are you hearing? reporter: the significance of it really, wolf, is twofold. the first is that they were able to identify one of these patriot missile systems that are supposed to be carefully hidden. these are a very, very important weapon for the ukrainians and they will be very, very concerned that the russians were able to find it and then pinpoint it. they pinpointed it, they say, with a hypersonic missile. the missile that was then shot down by a patriot missing according to the ukrainians. they have put part of this
