which is being bombed by russia almost every day. president landscape is wasted and allies must drink frames and he must sound capabilities. unless you wouldn't see new mom says we need at least the 7 patriot ad defense systems level say what we have in addition to those systems. but i believe that we have only about 25 percent of the defense is we need to shop at the admissions office to to create the ukrainian train to being freed. then along the front line, those in the donates region shows on men pallets and awaiting fresh count. that's a little bit cisco. the situation is complicated, then you know we work day and night side as your model. we sure it's one that munition are trying to save as much as we can. look someone. the presidents zalinski says russian troops advance between 5 and 10 kilometers inside ukraine's northeast and border before being stopped by defending forces. he ones russians
9:05 am
offensive, could come and see over waves, and that the push for hockey is just the fist. a short while ago i spoke to dw russia analyst konstantin, a goods and to us to what has changed for the russians on the battlefield. well, nothing dramatic monica bots. if you consider the fact that nothing else coast of parties are only 26 kilometers from uh, the boat. it was a rush. uh, pretty much every single village, every single square, columbus that uh, the russian forces kept you brings him closer to hockey and all the ports and has denied that he wants to store the city, which is the 2nd biggest, a new great, and you brainstorm a capitol in the twenty's, no one really can't believe him because he may be time said one thing in that another. it's another question whether the russians now have a the, the, the,
9:06 am
the forces and the amount to you for a full frontal assault on the city. but it seems that this has at least a preparation for up as a possibility of such a storm. me that we just heard a little clip from an interview that's to lensky gay fund. we heard that he said to the west is quote, afraid of both russian and ukrainian to feed. what do you make of his remarks? monica fergus speaking up personally and uh, having spoken quite a lot in the last few weeks with the experts. submitted the ribs, i was in, in the baltic states where i am and also elsewhere in europe. i take the same view . i think that there is huge descending opinion decision uh, in the west. uh and the, the idea that to grade has to win against russia is still not accepted more than 2 years up to the beginning of the
9:07 am
a full scale invasion. yes. the overall definitely fence, that's a rush or we'll lose. and then as many, many west, and let's say we don't know what's going to happen in russia if food channel loses the will. but this is no argument for ukrainians who are very short of personnel and who are very short of weapons, although the west promised them the weapons of they're still not being delivered to live in the 60000000000 package that the u. s. congress has approved a few weeks ago. it will take time before the weapons and uh, the spectrum of basically being transferred onto this page will arrive in ukraine and that creates a well, i think it understandable feeling of a frustration in your brain. but as well as you mentioned, to me, this lack of equipment like, of weapons, the fatigue, lack of morale, if you like. and how is all of that playing into the hands of russia as well?
9:08 am
it does because of everything that for example, the ukraine authorities are now saying about mobilization, about dropping moments into the army. definitely is a very public sign of a shortage of personnel. i wouldn't say desperation, but differently signs of a war. and this creates a momentum football team who can say, well, you know, you still have to talk to me because i'm winning this war and this, i'm afraid we will have an impact on both public opinion and the rest of the decision makers. and this is what i think zalinski and his interview process to be concerned about. right, dw russia, analyst constantine, a good that for us. thank you so much. konstantin. thank an old frontline house, apparently reopened on the wall. between is way the forces and thomas fighters in johnson. witnesses describe heavy fighting in and around the town of jamalia in the
