| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI in the world to Ukraine with Greg Ray Copley, Editor-in-Popper Show of Defense |
| 0:10.4 | and Foreign Affairs. London is the best reporting I've understood from the Ministry of Defense. |
| 0:17.5 | We have headlines in these last hours. Exiled Ukrainian villagers celebrate counteroffensive |
| 0:22.7 | victories, says the telegraph. Putin admits Russia lost 54 tanks in first week of counteroffensive, |
| 0:28.7 | says the telegraph. British forces are participating in training and shipping supplies, says the |
| 0:36.7 | telegraph. And this, a self-strategy giving Ukraine the edge in counteroffensive. You notice the |
| 0:43.7 | theme here is the information is coming from London and the origin of it looks to be |
| 0:49.9 | key. We're not getting Moscow news. That's understandable, given the scale of the war. But if you |
| 0:56.3 | add fog of war together with what I've just read, you don't get clarity on the battlefield. |

| 1:46.3 | our predictions on this program after February last year. And that is where it would end up, |
| 1:53.4 | where it's now shaving to end up with the Donbass region linking with the Crimea, staying |
| 2:01.7 | in Russian hands. And that's where it's going to end up. There's going to be a Ukraine divided |
| 2:08.8 | at the end of it. And nothing is really altering that perspective. We're seeing little movements, |
| 2:13.8 | backwards and forwards. We're seeing people counting how many angels condense on the head of a |
