| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Ukraine. Maybe give a quick update on what's |
| 0:08.2 | going on on the front line, the situation in Pakorovsk, the big Russian drone and missile strikes |
| 0:16.2 | into Kiev and Harkov and also the west of Ukraine. And also Ukraine continuing to launch drones |
| 0:24.7 | into Russia, five nights in a row. They've been launching drones into Russia. And then we can |
| 0:33.3 | perhaps talk about what is going on inside of Ukraine, the fact that Umero, the former defense |
