I think it s fantastic. lots of countries have been providing military assistance, but from the ukrainian government perspective, i just talked to senior people there this week, they re not providing enough. it s just that simple. they re fighting the battle of donbas is the next great battle in this war, and they need more weapons, so i think this is a great way to try to put more pressure on some of those european countries that have those weapons, in particular soviet-era weapons that they might transfer to the european to ukraine in return for the united states providing them weapons to replace to back fill those weapons. so i think it s a great moment. put more pressure on everybody to do more for ukraine. so, give me a sense of what you think might be included in the talks. i mean, certainly, visually, and in terms of the symbolism of all this, it s a big deal that you have the secretary of state and the defense secretary going to meet with zelenskyy. but what do you think th ....
Pragmatic answer. you cannot come to us now with empty hands. we expect not just the presence of some cakes. we expect concrete things and concrete weapons. reporter: those concrete things are continuing to come, especially from the united states. the most recent, $800 million military aid package will start arriving this weekend. included in that aid package will be drones that were designed here for the ukrainians, and when you look at what happened today in odesa, rocket strikes killing at least eight people, wounding some 18 more, you get an idea of why president zelenskyy continues to ask for more weapons. we ve heard from the russian defense ministry saying that odesa really is going to be vital in this what they call phase two operation where they want to create a land bridge basically from the breakaway republic in moldova all the way to russia, so we ll keep our eyes, of course, on odesa and we do have colleagues there as ....

Force for good in my family and in my understanding of where we are in the world. and you know, at winston churchill says, united states will always do the right thing after it s exhausted all the other possibilities and alternatives, and i think we i m hoping that we re at that stage now where some of the understandings of what america wants out of this weren t clear. i wasn t clear whether nato and the u.s. actually wanted us to win or whether they just, like the germans, said, we just want to stop the fighting. just stopping the fighting means you re condemning millions of people to basic slavery and slaughter, because this is a war about ukraine s right to exist. and vladimir putin has been absolutely clear on that. as i said before, he needs ukraine. he doesn t need ukrainians, and he s very happy to wipe them off the face of the earth. sobering words, and i remember those you uttered to me last week about that, he needs ....
House without president trump s support. however, just across the hall there in the capitol, leader mcconnell, who has not spoken to donald trump since the 2020 elections, is in a very strong position with his conference, and if republicans do take over the senate, it s almost guaranteed that mcconnell will be the republican leader, so there s a lot of fear that motivates house republicans. it s less of a problem in the senate. but the center of attention in the republican party is still donald trump, and that s why you hear leader mccarthy doing damage control today, trying to show that he still has a good relationship with the former president, because he believes he needs that if he s going to continue serving as a republican leader and then as speaker of the house, if they win the majority. spot on perspective. thank you for sharing, carlos curbelo. there s some breaking news from ukraine. if you haven t heard it, ....
