0:48.3	Yeah. Hello and welcome to the Friday episode of the Battleground podcast with me Saul David and Patrick Bishop.
0:55.2	The big news this week is that the NATO Parliamentary Assembly has called on member states to lift prohibitions against Ukraine using Western provided weapons to strike targets in Russia proper. The Assembly adopted a declaration
1:01.2	on the 27th of May, calling for NATO states to support Ukraine's international right to defend itself
1:07.1	by lifting some restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons to strike Russian
1:12.3	territory. The Declaration also calls for member states to accelerate their deliveries of critical

2:10.2	of the changing and hardening mood of the membership. This new resolve is at least in part
2:16.6	a reaction to the blatant targeting of
2:19.5	civilians that Russia is now going in for with its glide bombs, 3,200 of which are now
2:26.0	raining down on Ukraine every month. I'd just been talking to Ascold, Crucialniewski,
