Nations. general thrks is a skbig from the president. $33 billion. this aid package for ukraine. that would include more weapons and anti-armor capabilities. how do you think this will impact the fight? i think we got do get that material in there. they need the aid and most porptsly they need the military assistance. it s been announced over the last week or two. most of that is not there yet. it s got to get in there. they have about 120 kilometer gap they are holding open of that double envelopment. they are moving slowly.
Might just not know yet, is where exactly will russia begin the next phase of this campaign. the one thing that they do agree on is that russia is believed to be the next the next assault will be in the southeast in the donbas. one of the reasons for that is that the russians already had military forces and contractors in the donbas area. they also have a strong logistical supply there. the belief is that the forces will move in north of there, they will surround the ukrainian military that are there along the line of contact near donbas and then they will have them surrounded and be able to move in. that is what the military calls a double envelopment. they will move around them. that has the potential, according to military officials, to be a brutal fight, if and when that begins in the coming weeks. that is really alarming, but also clarifying about where things stand right now. i saw some ukrainian officials tweeting today about kyiv
Have them surrounded and be able to move in. that is what the military calls a double envelopment. they will move around them. that has the potential, according to military officials, to be a brutal fight, if and when that begins in the coming weeks. that is really alarming, but also clarifying about where things stand right now. i saw some ukrainian officials tweeting today about kyiv restaurants opening a backup, schools to. there is a crazy thing happening. we know the eastern conflict, and the images coming out of places that have receded from russian occupation just unspeakably brutal. the mayor of mariupol today estimating that 5000 civilians, including over 200 children are dead there. we will keep monitoring that, courtney kube thank you very much. still to come, as the house refers to more trump aides for contempt charges, new reporting for the doj is overwhelmed with jenner six cases. the push to unionize amazon warehouses gets a major boost in the president.
