Ukraine Says A Series Of Explosions Have
Hit in The Capital Kiev
Air Raid Sirens Blared Across The City
Saturday Morning Residents Were
Urged To Take Shelter Officials To Say
Missiles Have Struck Key Infrastructure
Meanwhile, Russia Claims Its Forces Have
Taken, The Town Of Calendar In Eastern
Ukraine If True Would Mark A Rare
Victory For Moscow After Months Of
Battlefield Setbacks Ukrainian, Officials
Dispute The Claim They Say The Fight
Isn't Over Yet
Foreign
In Freezing Winter Conditions, Ukrainian
Soldiers In Solidarity Face A Bleak Battle
Against Russia's Constant Attacks The
Fight Here Is Bloody And Brutal
Russia Is Determined To Take Control Of
This Small Salt-mining Town In The
In The Eastern Region Of Donetsk, A Rare Push
Forward After Numerous Military Setbacks
Its Forces Are Already Claiming Victory
Complete Control Of Solidarity Makes It
Possible To Cut Up The Supply Lines Of
The Ukrainian Forces Located In The
Southwest
Then Block And Enclose The Ukrainian
Units Located There In A Pocket
Ukraine Swiftly Rejected The Claim
Now The Terrorist State In Its
Propagandists Are Trying To Pretend That
Our City Of Soledad Is Almost Completely
Destroyed By The Occupiers Is Some Kind
Of Achievement For Russia, They're
Already Presenting This As A Success To
Their Society In Order To Support The
Military Mobilization Gives Hope To
Those Who Want Aggression But The
Fighting Continues
Dinette's Front Is Holding
The Loss Of Solidarity Would Be A Blow For
Ukraine After Months Of Hard-won
Successes in Retaking Towns And Territories
But The Fighting Comes At A High Cost
Combat We Have Gunshots Yeah We Have A
Grenade Shrapnel Wounds And So On So
This Kind Of Wound Increased
Russia Claims To Have Killed Hundreds Of
Ukrainian Soldiers In The Battle For
Solider, But There Is No Confirmed Death
Toll More Than 550 Civilians Are
Reportedly Still Living In The Town In
Horrific Conditions Without Running
Water Or Electricity

Um Tell Me Please If It Is Concerned Uh
Confirmed Rather That Russia Has Taken
Solider, It'll Be Their First Victory For
Long Time, But What Would It Mean For
Ukraine
Yes I Think It, Is Quite
Significant From The Sort Of The Point Of
View Of Russia's Morale Because They
Finally, After So Many Months And So Many
Casualties And So Many Sorts, Of Artillery
And The Use Of Tanks They Finally
Managed, It Seems To Take Control Of This
The City I Think Is Important Uh In Terms
Also, The Local Sort Of Tactical
Dimension Because It Can Threaten
Um Not Only Potentially Eventually The
Encirclement Of The City Of Beirut, Which
Is Further South But Also The Connection
The Line, of The Roads That Link Bahamas,
To Serve Further To The North
Northeast, So I Think That Uh You Know
From The Ukrainian Point Of View
Um You Know It Is An Issue Of
Concern Uh Of Course If We Look At The
The Entire Map Of Ukraine Is Not A Major
Advance From The Russian Point Of View
But We'll If We Look At The Theater Of
War In This Area You Know Could Start
Sort Of Challenging Other Ukrainian
Positions Around Found, Of Course, Mahmoud
But Potentially Also Towards Avian,
Which Are Sort Of Very Important Sort Of
Military Bases For The Ukrainians But
The Ukrainians Have Filters I Think Every
Effective Uh Defensive Lines So I Don't
Think This Will Lead To A Medical
The Collapse Of Ukrainian Lines
And Ukraine's Western Allies Just
Looking Forward Is Promising Armored
Vehicles And Training For Ukrainian
Soldiers Over The Next Few Months If All
Of Those Mooted Promises Of Weapons Come
Through How Will That Change Things
I Think That Is The Most Significant
Question, And I'm Glad You Raised It
Because Here The Key Point Is How
With Much Support Uh, Ukraine Is Going To Get
And Whether Potentially Uh It Will
Eventually, Get Uh The Famous Uh Leopards
Which Are The Tanks That Are Uh
Originally Produced In Germany So
Germany Has A Very Important Sort Of
The Decision There To Make To Allow Other
Countries To Re-export Uh You Know The
Lepers That They Uh Acquired From
Germany But Also For Example The
British Are Promising Other
Challengers Too Uh Armored Vehicles Which
Are Quite Effective Uh So I Think That
If Ukrainians Receive Additional Support
To Carry Out Offensive Operations And
That Includes Not Only Tanks But Also
Air Support, Which Is Often Not Addressed
Very Much And It Is Very Little
Information Much Air Support Ukraine
Might Get In Terms Of Aircraft Air
The Training I Think Then We Can See A
Significant Change And If I May Add I
