See in the east. today in the east we are seeing reports of the russian military buildup. there are satellite photos that show another convoy essentially moving in about eight miles along. this would be the buildup that s going to play into the axis heading towards izyum. secondly, the russians have come up to kharkiv and have been unable to essentially control it and tried to build out this pocket. they will have a couple of axis that will go down towards izyum. the battle is shifting entirely to the east. you are seeing a big plus-up in terms of military force. what the russians are trying to do is bring in forces from luhansk, the separatist region the russians essentially controlled and their separatist fighters. the problem for them is about morale. not only have they lost tons of soldiers, the soldiers they re redeploying from the northern sector pushing into belgrade are not motivated to fight.
You are seeing things for offering incentives whatever you destroy you get a certain plus-up in salary or a bonus to return to the fight. if you have to beg people to return to the fight with money you are in a desperate situation if you are the russian military. separately from that looking at the big picture, down here in the south or toward the east and the south what you will see the russians try to do is essentially bisect these portions in the donbas region. they would like to take the donbas region because it would give them something they can claim to be an achievement. vladimir putin has said his original motivation for going in here was to retake donbas. if he doesn t have that, he doesn t even have a bargaining chip through which he can negotiate. secondly and more importantly in the south is where i want to shift to, the ukrainian military putting up an intense fight here. this is where the russians went in weeks two, three and four, advancing to here and were blocked. you

Evacuation. as you know, david, we were still in the process, before there was a need to do a non-combatant evacuation, we were still in the process of a drawdown at the airport, the previous plan, by the end of the month. some of the troops that flew home yesterday were in that tranche. they were very much a part of the original drawdown plan. admiral vasely saw fit that there was some others that he believed that he didn t need there at the airport anymore even though they had flown in with the plus-up for the neo. these are headquarter staff personnel, maintainers and other enabling forces who either had completed their mission and were already scheduled to go, as i said, even before there was a non-combatant evacuation and others who admiral vasely determined their mission was complete, he didn t need them
