Good evening, this is John Bachelor, looking at the show beginning in Ukraine.

Are they resupplied adequately to get through the summer in spring?

I speak to Colonel Jeff McCausen, United States Army retired artillery men, CBS News.

We're looking at a very small landscape with lots of people looking at, some of them with
