Ukraine Invasion

U.S warns citizens to leave Ukraine immediately

An urgent warning to Americans in Ukraine, get out of the country before it's too late. The US Embassy in kyiv sent that security alert today. Officials riding in part that the state department has information that Russia is stepping up efforts to launch strikes against Ukraine. Civilian infrastructure and government facilities in the coming days. Tomorrow is Ukraine's. Independence Day, 31 years of independence from the Soviet Union tomorrow. Also, Mark 6 months since Russia invaded Ukraine today in the Ukrainian president, spoke at a news conference. In key reporters asked what Ukraine would do with Russia. Attack the capital to have the national holiday, his response. If they attack us, They will receive a response, a strong response Admiral. James stavridis now, former NATO's Supreme Allied Commander now, at NBC News, Chief International, an analyst at 6 months and fresh warnings of Russia attacks, but selenski. Seems ready to hit back or is this Stalemate. It is a stalemate, it's good way to put it in. By the way, I'm wearing my Ukrainian colors tie and honor of their independence day. Tomorrow, they've inspired us all and they have fought this Russian war machine to a standstill in effect. We're going to announce over the next couple of days. Shepherd, another significant Rancho very capable weapons that are going their way. The reason Putin wants to launch the strikes, is he simply frustrated? This war is not going well for him. He's trying to regain at least part of the Strategic narrative. I don't think he's going to succeed. The ukrainians are on the march. In other Pentagon says the latest round of weapons, it's sending or going to help Ukraine with counter-attacks. Is it enough? Is it adequate? I think it is Shep and it's very carefully tailored based on the recommendations of the ukrainians and our own intelligence, what it will do is allow the ukrainians to reach behind. The Russian logistic frontlines deplete their capabilities go after their Long Range Systems. This is the so-called High Mars is cruise missiles. It's more artillery. Rounds of it is what is tipping? The battle in the direction of the ukrainians? I think it will be a very powerful package announced over the next 48 hours. Primwood accusation that Ukraine assassinated the daughter in kind of a commentator of her own of a top gladimir Putin a life, and then they solved it miraculously in 48 hours. The truth, is, it looks like they're setting up to do something, huh? It doesn't in clearly, Putin has in my view, orchestrated, all of this to create a pretext for launching. Another massive series of Raise, This attack was nominally directed at this rest buten, like figure, Alexander, Dugan right-wing nationalist. He's bad news from the word go. This is in my view, probably something that has come out of internal. Russian politics, Putin is never one to let an assassination. Go to waste, you do use this as a pretext to launch these big attacks tomorrow, Admiral stavridis. Thank you.
