Ukrainian troops have lost ground to Russia this year as they face ammunition shortages and exhaustion more than two years into the war monthly civilian casualties have also shown no signs of subsiding reaching an 11mon high of at least 174 verified deaths in May as per the United Nations Ukraine’s president has said that he was drawing up a comprehensive plan meanwhile for how KF believes the war with Russia should end there are no public talks ongoing between Ukraine and Russia zelinski said it is very important to show a plan to end the war that will be supported by the majority of the world this is the Diplomatic route we are working on that’s what he said at the press conference in Kev alongside the Slovenian president as Russia and Ukraine continue to trade both threats in attacks the US is in the picture yet again of its supply of weapons to keev after Moscow blamed Washington for Ukraine’s recent attack on Crimea and vowed Revenge the defense Chiefs of the two Nations engaged in a rare conversation the two sides gave widely Divergent accounts of the phone call between us defense secretary Lloyd Austin and Russia’s defense minister Andre belov the Pentagon says Austin initiated the conversation and that he believed that keeping lines of communication open is important Russia’s defense Ministry however says that bosov has warned Austin of the dangers of continued arm Supply to Ukraine and this is not the first warning of its kind the Kremlin warned the US of consequences after Ukraine struck crime Copo during the weekend using a US made atam missile these threats CLE back to Western weapon shipments to Ukraine that have become an increasingly sour point for Moscow but as bov engaged in talks the previous postolder Former Defense Minister SAR Shu was issued a warrant of arrest at the ICC and Shu was not loone Russia’s most senior military officer General Valerie gasimov was also hit with an arrest warrant of a strikes against civilian taret the has said that it considers the Warren to be absurd adding that Russia does not recognize the Court’s Jurisdiction but even as the international criminal court delivered a stinging condemnation of Russia’s Invasion Russia launched 42 Glide bombs on the northeastern har region over a 24-hour period and this according to local authorities on the other hand multiple air attacks by Ukraine were reported on the southern Russian region of belgorod the governor said an elderly woman was killed four people were injured and scores of buildings were damaged Russia’s defense Ministry said its air defense systems destroyed 29 Ukraine launched drones over the region meanwhile Russia and Ukraine each handed bed 90 prisoners of War on Tuesday with the Arab or the United Arab Emirates overseeing The Exchange as an intermediary Russia said prisoners brought home had faced mortal danger in captivity this is the latest of several periodic swamps in the 28th Monon old conflict let’s now talk more about this retired colel rich outzen is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the Jamestown Foundation he is now joining us from gazan toia carel Rich good to see you and thank you very much for joining us at this hour what do you think will be Ukraine’s or kev’s response to the two defense Ministers of America and Russia holding a conversation and saying that uh they’ll keep their line of communication open well uh it’s going to be with you Eric I I think ke’s in an interesting situation here because it has conditional support from the United States rather than unconditional support so it’s fighting a war a defensive war against the aggressor Russia uh with one eye behind uh its front always thinking how much will the US allow us to do and being put in the position of having to press the United States for more authorities now the systems that we’ve given uh including the now the f-16s that are coming online atacam missiles as you mentioned before uh artillery systems that can shoot further and see further uh have been kept under a certain leash the United States has tried to play a control game in terms of escalation to try to not attack on the Russian territory even though the Russians are of course attacking throughout the depth of Ukrainian territory in order to limit how how this goes so the the concept here is uh horizontal escalation rather than vertical escalation the United States wants to keep it from going too high in terms of the types of weapons and maybe becoming a direct us Russia conflict and instead letting at the margins this becomes certain types of systems allowed to attack say in Crimea or in belad as you mentioned so there is some horizontal escalation being played for Ukraine I think they just have to keep pushing the envelope they they have to keep convincing Washington that look if you really don’t want us to lose this war don’t have one of our our hands tied behinds our back we need to be able to hit the aggressor as deep in his country as he is hitting Us in ours Cano Rich despite Russia saying that uh now that we talking we cannot forget what happened in Copo in Crimea where the arams missiles were used by Ukrainian forces to hit civilians and 150 civilians were injured in that attack uh four people were killed in that attack Russia says that Washington will face consequences what do you think these consequences are well I think Russia’s implying by this that they they will uh try to have systems put close to either the United States uh or to uh allies of the United States that can put into Peril uh civilian targets as well as as if there is a parallel there of course the difference being that the United States has not launched an offensive war against a major sovereign country like Ukraine which is what Russia has done so theep implication from Russia that we will put you in the same sort of peril that that you’re putting us in ignores the moral dimension of the fact that they are aggressor that put aside though we’ve seen this before during the Cold War Russia put missiles in Cuba uh to try to threaten the United States at the same time that we the United States had missiles in Turkey where I happen to be at the moment that were in a position to to uh conduct attacks against the Soviet Union in that case neither side escalated into a direct Soviet versus American uh escalation after John F Kennedy took certain strong deterrent steps then both sides stepped back from that so I think Russia’s probably probably trying to do the inverse of that they are probably trying to get the United States to back down from allowing Ukraine a greater leash in the use of its defensive weapons by implying the ability to threaten either the US Homeland or us allies the difference here of course is that Russia I don’t think really has the ability to do that and and neither in their strategic Arsenal nor in their uh set of allies along our borders and frankly I don’t think they want to go into that escalation game with with us if they got a president willing to play escalation right other than the current soft Administration they might find themselves uh incurring significantly higher costs very quickly carel rich as we end this conversation uh what do you think will be the impact of this threats by Russia that if you continue to the West that is that if you continue to supply Ukraine with your weapons we will Revenge we will come for you well unfortunately I think it’ll have some effect uh the Biden Administration has shown a willingness to do what we call self-d deterrence by consistently thinking well if we make the Russians mad or if we escalate to a point that the Russians find unacceptable we can’t incur those costs of course that’s not how escalation Works escalation works when or deterrence Works in in escalation when you convince the other side that they don’t know the cost they’ll incur and when you imply we certainly don’t want to incur costs up to this level which is what the Biden Administration has again and again communicated to Russia then Russia knows exactly how far it can go introducing to Russia the idea that they don’t know how much pain we can inflict on them and that we’re willing to go higher is the way to stop their acts of aggression and their escalating aggression unfortunately against this current uh counterpart that they have in the Biden Administration I think that they’re uh talking about escalation in this way probably will get the Biden Administration to put further restrictions on what Ukraine does all right we’ll have to leave it there I’ve been talking to Koo Rich outen senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the Jamestown Foundation Caro rich as always thank you thank you in the US Presidential Showdown today where President Joe Biden and Republican front runner Donald Trump faced each other foreign policy and Regional tensions including Wards emerged as points of contention now the two contenders clashed fiercely over Washington’s position in the Russia Ukraine war this included us Aid to Ukraine and the country’s contribution to Nato Trump suggested that the Biden administration had quote unquote encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine taking a JB at President Biden’s leadership Trump said that the Russian President Vladimir Putin would have never invaded Ukraine if Joe Biden was quote unquote a respected leader genten with this the former president wowed to settle the conflict between the two countries if brought to power refering to the NATO alliance Trump further said that us was paying for everybody’s bills accusing Biden of faulty policies Trump said and I’m going to quote here we are closer to World War III than ever before and Joe Biden will drive us there now President Biden pushed back on this statement and said that Trump will light the match for World War I after he lets Russia’s Putin do quote unquote whatever he wants to the NATO alliance both leaders then moved over to the Israel Hamas War Biden said the Israeli Prime Minister Benin Netanyahu had agreed to resolve the conflict he also refuted Israel’s claims of us not supporting T Aviv in the face of Horrors and added that the only help that Washington denied is the sending of 2,000 Bombs Over concerns related to life loss while closing his argument Biden added that Hamas wanted to continue the war but has been more or less pacified Trump came heavily on the president’s claims he said that Israel was the was the one wanting to continue the war while adding that Israel should be allowed to quote unquote finish the job Israel is the one that wants to go he said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas actually Israel is the one and you should let him go and let him finish the job he doesn’t want to do it he’s become like a Palestinian but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian he’s a weak one separately Trump continuously punched Biden over us chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan he referred to it as a quote unquote most embarrassing day in the history of the US and also called it Afghanistan horror show in turn Biden accused Trump of wanting to pull out from NATO and head towards an isolationist policy Biden slammed Trump over his dismissal his dismissal stance on Washington’s capabilities he added that no president would talk so foul of their own country calling us the court and Court Envy of the world and our top focus on weon at this hour Russia’s Navy is to receive more than 40 ships and boats in 2024 said President Vladimir Putin at her meeting on ship building Putin cited year on-year statistics and according to those the Navy has was provided with 24 new ships and boats in 2022 33 in 2023 and 40 are planned to be handed over in 2024 this to drastically improve its combat potential and strengthen its position in the ocean Russia has kept up the pressure on the front line Putin’s troops launched around 100 deadly Glide bombs and dozens of drones across the border with Ukraine in the past 24 hours Russia has sharpened its knives after the Ukrainian attack on Crimea which Vladimir Putin which the Vladimir Putin LED country said was conducted using us-made missiles and Russia has blamed us for the Crimea attack meanwhile the US and Russian defense Chiefs spoke on the telephone us defense Secret Lloyd Austin initiated the call with Russia’s defense minister Andre belov it was the first such call since March last year during the call belov is said to have warned Austin of the dangers of the continued us arms supplies to Ukraine Russian troops destroyed three us made High Mar multiple launch rocket systems being used by Ukraine in the past 24 hours as well despite all the inroads that Russian troops are reported to be making in the Ukrainian defense its Army seems to be suffering massive Soldier fatalities on the battlefield the New York Times is reporting that may was particularly deadly for the Russian army in Ukraine it says that according to us British and other Western intelligence agencies more than a thousand of Russian soldiers were injured or killed each day the report adds that despite its losses Russia is recruiting 25,000 to 30,000 new soldiers a month us officials say that this has allowed the Russian army to keep sending waves after wave of troops to Ukrainian defenses hoping to overwhelm them and break through the trench lines the article notes that this approach has proved effective at times bringing the Russian army victories in many places like bakut eastern Ukraine but Ukrainian and Western officials say that the tactics have been less successful this spring as Russia tried to take land near the city of harke American officials say that Russia achieved a critical objective of President Vladimir Putin’s and that’s creating a buffer zone along the border to make it more difficult for the ukrainians to strike into the country but the drive did not threaten karev and was ultimately stopped by Ukrainian defenses the article also notes that while Russian casualties have spiked at other times especially during the assault on adiva and bahmut but the assaults on those cities were spread out over several months the push in May both outside of harke and along the Eastern Front involve more intense periods of Russian wave attacks British Military Intelligence analysts said that Russia’s casualties in May which they put at an average of 1,200 a day were the highest since the War Began Russian soldiers have said on telegram the social media platform that their units are suffering High casualties and some say that their ranks are being cut down by drones machine gun fire and artillery barges the New York Times says that Russia’s use of infantry and wave attacks reflects one of his advantages in the war its population is much larger than Ukraine given its bigger pool of potential recruits but the casualties have forced Russia to ship new recruits to Ukraine relatively quickly meaning the soldiers sent to the front lines are poorly trained so for Ukraine Russia War coverage Russian President Vladimir Putin has signaled

11mon high of at least 174 verified deaths in May as per the United Nations Ukraine’s president has said that he was drawing up a comprehensive plan meanwhile for how KF believes the war with Russia should end there are no public talks ongoing between Ukraine and Russia zelinski said it is very important to show a plan to end the war that will be supported by the majority of the world this is the Diplomatic route we are working on that’s what he said at a press conference in Kev alongside the Slovenian president as Russia and Ukraine continue to trade both threats and attacks the US is in the picture yet again of its supply of weapons to keev after Moscow blamed Washington for Ukraine’s recent attack on Crimea and vowed Revenge the defense Chiefs of the two Nations engaged in a rare conversation the two sides gave widely Divergent accounts of the phone call between us defense secretary Lloyd Austin and Russia’s defense minister Andre bov the Pentagon says Austin initiated the conversation and that he believed that keeping lines of communication open is important Russia’s defense Ministry however says that bov has warned Austin of the dangers of continued arm Supply to Ukraine and this is not not the first warning of its kind the Kremlin warned the US of consequences after Ukraine struck cria Copo during the weekend using a US made atam missile these threats SLE back to Western weapon shipments to Ukraine that have become an increasingly sour point for Moscow but as bellus of engaged in talks the previous postolder Former Defense Minister SAR sh was issued a warrant of arrest at the IC and Shu was not alone Russia’s most senior military officer General Valerie gasimov was also hit with an arrest warrant of the strikes against civilian taret the has said that it considers the Warren to be absur adding that Russia does not recognize the Court’s Jurisdiction but even as the international communal Court delivered a stinging condemnation of Russia’s Invasion Russia launched 42 Glide bombs on the northeast har region over a 24-hour period and this according to local authorities on the other hand multiple air attacks by Ukraine were reported on the southern Russian region of belgorod the governor said an elderly woman was killed four people were injured and scores of buildings were damaged Russia’s defense Ministry said its air defense systems destroyed 29 Ukraine launched drones over the region meanwhile Russia and Ukraine each handed back 90 prisoners of War on Tuesday with the Arab or the United Arab Emirates overseeing The Exchange as an intermediary Russia said prisoners brought home had faced mortal danger in captivity this is the latest of several periodic swamps in the 28th Monon old conflict let’s now talk more about this retired colel rich outzen is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the Jamestown Foundation he is now joined us from gazan toia carel Rich good to see you and thank you very much for joining us at this hour what do you think will be Ukraine’s or kev’s response to the two defense Ministers of America and Russia holding a conversation and saying that uh they’ll keep their line of communication open well uh it’s going to be with you Eric I I think ke’s in an interesting situation here because it has conditional support from the United States rather than unconditional support so it’s fighting a war a defensive war against the aggressor Russia uh with one eye behind uh its front always thinking how much will the US allow us to do and being put in the position of having to press the United States for more authorities now the systems that we’ve given uh including that now the f16s that are coming online atacam missiles as you mentioned before uh artillery systems that can shoot shoot further and see further uh have been kept under a certain leash the United States has tried to play a control game in terms of escalation to try to not attack on the Russian territory even though the Russians are of course attacking throughout the depth of Ukrainian territory in order to limit how how this goes so the the concept here is uh horizontal escalation rather than vertical escalation the United States wants to keep it from going too high in terms of the types of weapons and maybe becoming a direct us Russia conflict and instead letting at the margins this becomes certain types of systems allowed to attack say in crimeia or in Bel garad as you mentioned so there is some horizontal escalation being played for Ukraine I think they just have to keep pushing the envelope they they have to keep convincing Washington that look if you really don’t want us to lose this war don’t have one of our our hands tied behinds our back we need to be able to hit the aggressor as deep in his country as he is hitting Us in ours canot Rich despite Russia saying that uh now that we’re talking we cannot forget what happened in CTO in Crimea where the arams missiles were used by Ukrainian forces to hit civilians and 150 civilians were injured in that attack uh four people were killed in that attack Russia says that Washington will face consequences what do you think these consequences are well I think Russia’s implying by this that they will uh try to have systems put close to either the United States uh or to uh allies of the United States that can put into Peril uh civilian targets as well as as if there is a parallel there of course the difference being that the United States has not launched an offensive war against a major sovereign country like Ukraine which is what Russia has done so the uh implication from Russia that we will put you in the same sort of peril that that you’re putting us in ignores the moral dimension of the fact that they are aggressor that put aide though we’ve seen this before during the Cold War Russia put missiles in Cuba uh to try to threaten the United States at the same time that we the United States had missiles in Turkey where I happen to be at the moment that were in a position to to uh conduct attacks against the Soviet Union in that case neither side escalated into a direct Soviet versus American uh escalation after John F Kennedy took certain strong deterrent steps then both sides stepped back from that so I think Russia’s prob to probably trying to do the inverse of that they are probably trying to get the United States to back down from allowing Ukraine a greater leash in the use of its defensive weapons by implying the ability to threaten either the US Homeland or us allies the difference here of course is that Russia I don’t think really has the ability to do that and and neither in their strategic Arsenal nor in their uh set of allies along our borders and frankly I don’t think they want to go into that escalation game with us if they got a president willing to play escalation right other than the current soft Administration they might find themselves uh incurring significantly higher costs very quickly con rich as we end this conversation uh what do you think will be the impact of uh this threats by Russia that if you continue to the West that is that if you continue to supply Ukraine with your weapons we will Revenge we will come for you well unfortunately I think it’ll have some effect uh the Biden Administration has shown a willingness to do what we call self-d deterrence by consistently thinking well if we make the Russians mad or if we escalate to a point that the Russians find unacceptable we can’t incur those costs of course that’s not how escalation Works escalation works when or deterrence Works in in escalation when you convince the other side that they don’t know the cost they’ll incur and when you imply we certainly don’t want to incur costs up to this level which is what the Biden Administration has again and again communicated to Russia then Russia knows exactly how far it can go introducing to Russia the idea that they don’t know how much pain we can inflict on them and that we’re willing to go higher is the way to stop their acts of aggression and they’re escalating aggression unfortunately against this current uh counterpart that they have in the Biden Administration I think that they’re uh talking about escalation in this way probably will get the Biden Administration to put further restrictions on what Ukraine does all right we’ll have to leave it there I’ve been talking to Koo richen senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the Jamestown Foundation Koo rich as always thank you thank you in the US Presidential Showdown today where President Joe Biden and Republican front runner Donald Trump faced each other foreign policy and Regional tensions including Wars emerged points of contention now the two contenders clashed fiercely over Washington’s position in the Russia Ukraine war this included us Aid to Ukraine and the country’s contribution to Nato Trump suggested that the Biden administration had quote unquote encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine taking a JB at President Biden’s leadership Trump said that the Russian President Vladimir Putin would have never invaded ukra if Joe Biden was quote unquote a respected leader gentle with this the former president wowed to settle the conflict between the two countries if brought to power referring to the NATO alliance Trump further said that us was paying for everybody’s bills accusing Biden of faulty policies Trump said and I’m going to quote here we are closer to World War III than ever before and Joe Biden will drive us there now President Biden pushed back on this statement and said that Trump will light the match for World War II after he lets Russia’s Putin do quote unquote whatever he wants to the NATO Alliance both leaders then moved over to the Israel Hamas War Biden said the Israeli Prime Minister Benin Netanyahu had agreed to resolve the conflict he also refuted Israel’s claims of us not supporting Tel Aviv in the face of Horrors and added that the only help that Washington denied is the sending of 2,000 Bombs Over concerns related to life loss while closing his argument Biden added that Hamas wanted to continue the war but has been more or less pacified Trump came heavily on the president’s claims he said that Israel was the was the one wanting to continue the war while adding that Israel should be allowed to quote unquote finish the job Israel is the one that wants to go he said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas actually Israel is the one and you should let him go and let him finish the job he doesn’t want to do it he’s become like a Palestinian but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian he’s a weak one separately Trump Contin ously punched Biden over us chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan he referred to it as a quote unquote most embarrassing day in the history of the US and also called it Afghanistan horror show in turn Biden accused Trump of wanting to pull out from NATO and head towards an isolationist policy Biden slammed Trump over his dismissal his dismissal stance on Washington’s capabilities he added that no president would talk so foul of their own country calling us the quote unquote Envy of the world and our top focus on weon at this hour Russia’s Navy is to receive more than 40 ships and boats in 2024 said President Vladimir Putin at her meeting on ship building Putin cited year on-year statistics and according to those the Navy has was provided with 24 new ships and boats in 2022 33 in 2023 and 40 are planned to be handed over in 2024 this to drastically improve its combat potential and strengthen its position in the ocean Russia has kept up the pressure on the front line Putin’s troops launched around 100 deadly Glide bombs and dozens of drones across the border with Ukraine in the past 24 hours Russia has sharpened its knives after the Ukrainian attack on Crimea which Vladimir Putin which the Vladimir Putin LED country said was conducted using us made missiles and Russia has blamed us for the Crimea attack meanwhile the US and Russian defense Chiefs spoke on the telephone us defense secretary Lloyd Austin initiated the call with Russia’s defense minister Andre belov it was the first such call since March last year during the call belov is said to have warned Austin of the dangers of the continued us arms supplies to Ukraine Russian troops destroyed three us made High Mar multiple launch rocket systems being used by Ukraine in the past 20 24 hours as well despite all the inroads that Russian troops are reported to be making in the Ukrainian defense its Army seems to be suffering massive Soldier fatalities on the battlefield the New York Times is reporting that may was particularly deadly for the Russian army in Ukraine it says that according to us British and other Western intelligence agencies more than a thousand of Russian soldiers were injured or killed each day the report adds that despite its losses Russia is recruiting 25,000 to 30,000 new soldiers a month us officials say that this has allowed the Russian army to keep sending waves after wave of troops to Ukrainian defenses hoping to overwhelm them and break through the trench lines the article notes that this approach has proved effective at times bringing the Russian army victories in many places like bmu eastern Ukraine but Ukrainian and Western officials say that the tactics have been less successful this spring as Russia tried to take land near the city of harke American officials say that Russia achieved a critical objective of President Vladimir Putin’s and thus creating a buffer zone along the border to make it more difficult for the ukrainians to strike into the country but the drive did not threaten Kar and was ultimately stopped by Ukrainian defenses the article also notes that while Russian casualties have spiked at other times especially during the assault on adiva and bakut but the assaults on those cities were spread out over several months the push in May both outside of harke and along the Eastern Front involve more intense periods of Russian wave attacks British Military Intelligence analysts said that Russia’s casualties in May which they put at an average of 1,200 a day were the highest since the War Began Russian soldiers have said on telegram the social media platform that their units are suffering High casualties and some say that their ranks are being cut down by drones machine gun fire and artillery barges the New York Times says that Russia’s use of infantry and wave attacks reflects one of his advantages in the war its population is much larger than Ukraine given its bigger pool of potential recruits but the casualties have forced Russia to ship new recruits to Ukraine relatively quickly meaning the soldiers sent to the front lines are poorly trained Ukraine Russia War coverage Russian president Vlad Putin has signaled resuming production of intermediate range
