origin of the missile that struck a children’s hospital in Kiev recently at least 43 people were killed and 150 others were injured in the collective strikes that Russia carried out on Ukraine across several major cities Russian Ambassador tried distancing the country from the attack citing details of videos posted by Ukraine he said it was a rocket of Ukraine’s air defense that hit the children’s hospital and not one that came from Russia in videos posted by the Ukrainian users it’s clear to see how one after one after another without any interference five rockets of the Russian Air Force strike the factory also it’s clearly seen that without any interference a single rocket hits the Children’s Hospital a rocket of the air defense of Ukraine it’s impossible to mistake it due to the easily recognizable rocket fin assembly and other traits Ukraine’s Ambassador countered this argument stating that the video evidence of the strike confirms a Russian missile that indeed had struck the hospital footage clearly testifies that the Ahmed hospital was a deliberate Target the footage captured the moment the kh1 101 missile dived towards the hospital building now in the UNC session us

plunged into a medical facility in nepro UK ambassador to un Barbara Woodward called the attack cowardly depriva Russia has violated the UN Charter and repeatedly breached International humanitarian law its conduct is a disgrace to the security Council and especially to the president’s seat meanwhile tensions continue to escalate on the battlefield Russian forces claim to have captured another Village in eastern Ukraine near the Russian held city of donet in its Daily Report the Russian defense Ministry said it liberated the settlement of yasno brovo influx of Western weapons has slowed down but not stopped the Russian war machine and this week the Ukrainian forces announced that they’ve strategically pulled back from parts of the crucial Eastern town of chavar the Pentagon has again pledged another $2.3 billion worth of weapons even as KF awaits the delivery of the much touted F-16 figh Jets this month but the nub of the the problem is elsewhere the Western nations are able to flood Ukraine with their weapons but Ukraine’s problems aren’t just limited to military hardware the bigger puzzle that K is finding it really hard to solve is about getting adequate and trained man power to be fielded onto the battlefield and this perhaps explains why the Ukrainian president vadir zelinski has made a dramatic U-turn for the first time since the War Began more than two years ago vadir zinski now wants Russian representatives to be present in the next peace Summit so what does this get you more details these videos captured by the Russian combat drones will give you a glimpse of the Russian strategy at the moment in coordinated Precision strikes the Kremlin is taking out the Ukrainian air power but destroying one Ukrainian fighter jet after another even as the fighter jets were in their panger the intelligence for these strikes was gathered by the Russian drones and once the targets were identified Russia is believed to have used its escanda missiles with devastating efficiency not only do these strikes expose the gaping holes in Ukraine’s air defense systems but they also indicate the Fate that awaits the much started F-16 figh jets that are slate to arrive this month where the F-16 figh will be stationed in Ukraine is not clear but the staro costantin of Air Base which is widely suspected to have gotten the facilities ready to house the F-16 F Jets has been repeatedly struck by the Russians using Hypersonic kinel missiles and drone clusters in the last Fortnight the ukrainians are clearly losing the ground and air contest but in the naval war that is unfolding in the Black Sea KV has managed to destroy almost 25% of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and this has forced Kremlin to withdraw a number of its combat ready warships from sester pole and anchor them at [Music] novaris I think they should not return there to Cle this is obvious I don’t know what they’re thinking they simply left CLE to retrieve their ship from under Ukrainian fire that’s the main reason as to why they find themselves now in noasis the Ukrainian Defense Forces has fire power control over C the Ukrainian field hospitals are overwhelmed with the number of injur wounded soldiers are vealed in 24 bar 7 from the front lines there is no clear tally on the number of soldiers whove been killed and wounded in this war but according to a document presented in the American Congress the US officials estimate that as many as 120,000 Russian soldiers may have been killed while the Ukrainian death toll is estimated to be over 100,000 and more than 300,000 soldiers of both sides combined are set of sustains some serious injuries the enemy is Insidious and uses any kind of weapon they can whether it be mechanical or chemical everything that is forbidden is being used by Russia chemical agents sh anything really there are things that we take out of soldiers bodies that we can’t explain to ourselves how these things flew into their bodies the Americans would been dragging their feet in providing the ukrainians with the necessary fire power at the beginning of 2024 now look more willing to pump in more weapons into the Ukrainian Battlefield and I am proud that the United States will soon announce more than $2.3 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine this package under presidential draw down Authority will provide more air defense interceptors anti-tank weapons and other critical Munitions from us inventories but on the battlefield Ukraine’s problems are no longer about the poity of weapons what Ukraine is struggling with is its ability to field trained soldiers and estimated 27,000 convicts are being released from prisons to fight on the front lines but this is barely scratching the surface of the Ukrainian Manpower problem the only problem we have is the shortage of Manpower ammunition and weapons we have more than enough enough weapons enough of all else just the people we do not have enough people this is some Drone footage of what remains of the strategically crucial Ukrainian city of chavar almost every building here has been reduced to a shell and the Ukrainian forces have announced a strategic Retreat from parts of the city Victor orban’s visit Moscow was condemned as a pean for Ursula Wain with a clear message that aasan would not stop Putin but in his meeting with Victor Orban Vladimir Putin again insisted that Russia is ready to settle the Ukrainian in Conflict as for Russia I have repeatedly said that we have always been and remain open to discussing a political and diplomatic settlement however on the other side of the conflict we hear about the reluctance to resolve issues in this particular way and the sponsors of Ukraine continue to try to use this country and its people as a battering ram victim in the confrontation with Russia from the outset of this war back with the American weapons the Ukrainian president vadir zinski had Ved that the only circumstance under which he would negotiate is when every Russian soier had been evicted from the Ukrainian soil in October 2022 vadir zilinski had in fact signed a decree ruling out any negotiations and going as far as to say that Ukraine will negotiate with Putin’s successor in Kremlin but much water has since Flo under the bridge and for the first time since this conflict began Vadim zilinski appears to make a uturn inviting Russian representatives to attend the next peace Summit for the Ukrainian War besides his many other problems Joe Biden does not want to appear to be on the losing side in yet another war with the presidential elections just months away in the United States but the question now is how much longer will Kia be able to fight this war as with each passing week any pro ects of Ting the Russian soldiers from the Ukrainian soil appear to be getting Bleaker and Bleaker the 75th Anniversary Summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on NATO has kickstarted in Washington with us divided over President Joe Biden’s viability on the growing perception that he is not in form and aging rapidly the 81-year-old host tried to show allies at home and abroad that he still can lead milary come [Applause] forward at the opening ceremony of the 3-day Summit he pledged to forcefully defend Ukraine against Russia’s Invasion no come for Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine continues and Putin wants nothing less nothing less than Ukraine’s total subjugation to end Ukraine’s democracy destroy Ukraine’s Ukraine Ukraine’s culture and to wipe Ukraine off the map and we know Putin won’t stop at Ukraine but make no mistake Ukraine can’t and will stop Putin the United States Germany the Netherlands Romania and Italy will provide Ukraine with equipment for five additional Strategic Air Defense systems the US and its allies have pledged to deliver five additional air defense systems to Ukraine including Patriot missile batteries and components Ukrainian president vman zalinski in his address at the summit pushed for further Military Support [Applause] he claimed that the world is waiting to see what would happen in November referring to the US presidential elections and this is a historic event M it is in the shadows of another story it’s time to sit out to step out of the Shadows to make strong decisions work to act and not to wait for November or any other months to this end we must be strong and uncompromising all together and first of all America and first of all the leaders of America and the president of the United States as a leader of the Free World to be uncompromising in defending democracy the November elections pose a unique threat to Nato the Republican party’s presumptive nominee former president Donald Trump has consistently sent mixed signals about his commitment to Collective defense and has signaled that he might just withdraw the us from the military Alliance now this after four years of Biden bolstering the NATO alliance including its expansion to Finland and Sweden in the wake of Russia’s fullscale invasion of Ukraine meanwhile a meeting between Biden and zalinski is scheduled for later today as as per the White House the meeting is to discuss the West’s unwavering support for Kiev as it continues to defend itself against Moscow and for more on this our correspondent Susan terani sent us this report earlier from New York listen to this President Biden is using this NATO Summit to Showcase his stamina and Leadership abilities on the international stage amid concern about his mental acuity and fitness for reelection Biden’s message of unity and commitment to Nato was not only aimed at International allies but also his Democratic supporters here at home who are watching very closely they’re increasingly skeptical about Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump the summit provides a critical opportunity for President Biden on the one hand to demonstrate his stamina and grasp on International matters and global policy particularly when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but the summit also allows President Biden to differentiate himself from Donald Trump who has often been critical of NATO and has even threatened to withdraw support if he is reelected overall this NATO Summit is a critical moment for President Biden uh just to regain momentum and confidence ahead of the election he gave a speech on Tuesday using the teleprompter but one of the real tests for the president will be that solo press conference that has been scheduled for Thursday Susan Tani reporting from New York for weon world as

condemned as aasan by Ursula Wain with a clear message that aasan would not stop Putin but in his meeting with Victor Orban Vladimir Putin again insisted that Russia is ready to settle the Ukrainian conflict as for Russia I have repeatedly said that we have always been and remain open to discussing a political and diplomatic settlement however on the other side of the conflict we hear about the reluctance to resolve issues in this particular way and the sponsors of Ukraine continue to try to use this country and its people as a battering ram victim in the confrontation with Russia from the outset of this war backed with the American weapons the Ukrainian president VES linski had Ved that the only circumstance under which he would negotiate is when every Russian soldier had been evicted from the Ukrainian soil in October 2022 vadir zilinski had in fact signed a decree ruling out any negotiations and going as far as to say that Ukraine will negotiate with Putin’s successor in Kremlin

Putin the United States Germany the Netherlands Romania and Italy will provide Ukraine with the equipment for five additional Strategic Air Defense systems the US and its allies have pledged to deliver five additional air defense systems to Ukraine including Patriot missile batteries and components Ukrainian president vadir zinski in his address at the summit pushed for further Military Support [Applause] he claimed that the world is waiting to see what would happen in November refering to the US presidential elections and this is a historic event but it is in the shadows of another story it’s time to sit out to step out of the Shadows to make strong decisions work to act and not to wait for November or any other months to this end we must be strong and uncompromising all together first of all America and first of all the leaders of America and the president of the United States as a leader of the Free World to be uncompromising in defending democracy the November elections POS a unique threat to Nato the Republican party’s presumptive nominee former president Donald Trump has consistently sent mixed signals about his commitment to Collective defense and has signaled that he might just withdraw the us from the military Alliance now this after four years of Biden bolst string the NATO alliance including its expansion to Finland and Sweden in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine meanwhile a meeting between Biden and zilinski is scheduled for later today as per the White House the meeting is to discuss the West’s unwavering support for Kev as it continues to defend itself against Moscow and for more on this our correspondent Susan terani sent us this report earlier from New York listen to this President Biden is using this NATO Summit to Showcase his stamina and Leadership abilities on the international stage amid concerns about his mental acuity and fitness for reelection Biden’s message of unity and commitment to Nato was not only aimed at International allies but also his Democratic supporters here at home who are watching very closely they’re increasingly skeptical about Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump the summit provides a critical opportunity for President Biden on the one hand to demonstrate his stamina and grasp on International matters and Global policy particularly when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but the summit also allows President Biden to differentiate himself from Donald Trump who has often been critical of NATO and has even threatened to withdraw support if he is reelected overall this NATO Summit is a critical moment for President Biden uh just to regain momentum and confidence ahead of the election he gave a speech on Tuesday using the teleprompter but one of the real tests for the president will be that solo press conference that has been scheduled for Thursday Susan Tani reporting from New York for weon world as well ahead of the 75th anniversary of

and the president of the United States as a leader of the Free World to be uncompromising in defending democracy the November elections pause a unique threat to Nato the Republican party’s presumptive nominee former president Donald Trump has consistently sent mixed signals about his commitment to Collective defense and has signaled that he might just withdraw the us from the military Alliance now this after four years of Biden bolstering the NATO alliance including its expansion to Finland and Sweden in the wake of Russia’s fullscale invasion of Ukraine meanwhile a meeting between Biden and zalinski is scheduled for later today as per the White House the meeting is to discuss the West’s unwavering support for Kiev as it continues to defend itself against Moscow and for more on this our correspondent Susan terani sent us this report earlier from New York listen to this President Biden is using this NATO Summit to Showcase his stamina and Leadership abilities on the international stage amid concerns about his mental acuity and witness for reelection Biden’s message of unity and commitment to Nato was not only aimed at International allies but also his Democratic supporters here at home who are watching very closely they’re increasingly skeptical about Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump the summit provides a critical opportunity for President Biden on the one hand to demonstrate his stamina and grasp on International matters and Global policy particularly when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but the summit also allows President Biden to differentiate himself from Donald Trump who has often been critical of NATO and has even threatened to withdraw support if he is reelected overall this NATO Summit is a critical moment for President Biden uh just to regain momentum and confidence ahead of the election he gave a speech on Tuesday using the teleprompter but one of the real tests for the president will be that solo press conference that has been

Ukraine will never stop Putin. Europeans are absolutly fed up with Ukraine war, we don´t want to pay it and americans do not want to pay it.More, we do not consider Ukraine as one of us (old European countries). We are now starting to accept Hungary as one of us due to Viktor Orban atitude.He thinks as we (common people) think. We are waiting for Trump to stop this war, since EU leaders stoped hearing europeans.
Only empty talks. Nato/US don't have the guts to enforce 'No Fly Zone' over Ukraine. A foolish Zelensky relied on them.
Even if they stop putin, who is next? Have you seen what kind of people stand behind putin? Define a win for ukraine plz…
Its very easy to say putin can not win, but how can it lose?
The west Russia has lost more soldiers than Ukraine why Ukraine doesn't have men where they go😮
Y the US keeps supplying weapons knowing well that Ukraine cannot win the war
Isreal is doing it too
Zelenski did it with USA 🙆🙈🤮💩
Why are you guys spreading rumors on Russia Russia didn't strike Ukraine Ukraine strike Ukraine Hospital
