And with some 500 comrades in arms all Armed To The Teeth at a formal Military Base near knocked about. With their covering fire shoot this is. Compulsory Military Service ended in germany in 2011 but more and more people are getting into johns. What is a weapon like this do to you and to me thats what i want to find out as much. Of course we arent using lethal weapon
people who report in the russian world all attack, we may have to take action. in other words, the message is we don t want to do it, but we may be forced to do it. and i think that s where you get the russians thinking while there probably won t be a war, but there could be. so it s complicated. but i think it s pretty clear in the russian people s minds. we don t want war, but we have to be prepared that there could be. yeah, especially when russian officials and those participating in these negotiations continuously say if there s any sort of threat against their citizens, right, in these disputed regions, they will be forced to act. clearly a lot of russians reading into that as well. jill daugherty, thank you so much for your expertise. well, still to come, a cnn exclusive. the justice department confirming it s investigating fake electoral certificates that falsely declared a trump victory
and the west. and that has proven to be somewhat of a success for vladimir putin in the propaganda narrative that is playing out for a large part of the country, which if there is inevitable war, seems to according to independent polling, seems to side with russia as being the aggrieved party. what does that mean for ukraine? one of the things i ve been watching very carefully is the danger from what they re calling the kyiv regime to the breakaway regions in the eastern part of the ukraine. as we know, there are two regions, and they are essentially they re still officially part of ukraine, but definitely they want to break
to date, signs that they have not yet prepared them for a large number of casualties there, which may result from a sustained occupation and response from ukranian forces backed by the west. do you see that as indicative here that that preparation hasn t come might indicate russia not ready to act or not? i think it s something different, jim. i think that thewhat they re sag to the russian people is, and you look at poland and others, about half the country of russia doesn t believe there will be a war. there s another percentage, i think it s 15%, doesn t believe there ever will be a war between russia and ukraine, but there is high concern of a war between nato and russia. what the kremlin is saying is, we don t want war. we are not going to attack, but, again, what was mentioned today on russian tv, if our of the
this area, russian forces could reach a port city of a half million in hours. despite the threat, life here goes on much as normal. at the local markets, stalls are open and the shelves are full. i would love to know if you think there will be a war. we don t want war. we have children and grandchildren, and there won t be war. we believe that. some say that america is exaggerating the threat. no there will not be a war he says. it is only biden that thinks this. it is interesting to talk to people here. nobody seems remotely concerned about the prospect of an imminent invasion. these people are no strangers to war. all around the hollowed out remnants of villages destroyed
