aven physical and welcome ukraine's top general says funding has wes and on the eastern front in posts on social media are on sunday. the commander in chief of the forces alexander seal ski wrote, keeps position, has deteriorated. he said his troops have for teresa to you positions for the to the west of occupied of steve co, or russian forces advance towards both coral and holcroft to ski said russia is now attacking your brain alone, be entire frontline. and his achieved tactical success is by concentrating efforts military analyst prank language, just got back from keith. i asked him if this is a reality check and if so, just how bad it is. a good day the by and i'm not. so it's reality check is the right to this has been all these study guides have been happening now over the last 2 months. so, so since the full of, of the, of costs i to less expense of the last few months. but undoubtedly,

the momentum of the russian said sort of stepped up, i think over the last month or so, particularly west of optic, and in the north, towards the trust, it'd be a name. we're going to hear a lot more often. so yes, it's not critical. we mustn't believe that this is some sort of decisive moment. it isn't the general say escape is simply accepting the way things are not. so that's that's, that's exactly what he should do at this moment. frank, can i just point out last time the commander in chief spoke out like this and was so frank, he was fly. it was the wrong message sent to the west in the past. the don't as think you claimed was doing better than it really was. yes. i think there's so there's some truth about and western officials, i've spoken to present to the picture, which is frankly incredible. now whether they got that picture from the ukrainians or the wrong with all the information, i don't know. but of course, the us, as you said, the reality is beginning to set and it has done over the last month or so. and you

mentioned the dismissal of general sellers. me who made comments quite similar to dental serious cases. the point of a few months ago, just before he got fired and in late february or the march, it was saying that the dental was obviously, is essentially paid. well, he hasn't yet taken up his appointment. he was appointed. i would say pops into eggs. all his it was, uh so you can bust of it. i don't think it's left yet, but there is no, i think it's fair to say, oh, there remains a risk within the ukrainian meaning the political nation. so how to approach what's going on in the battlefield? is that what's getting in the way here, primarily, or politics also holding back you kinds of military successes or no, don't think so. there is the realities on the battlefields which have been again developing over the last few months. first of all, that is to teach at level the lessons learned. you know that history shows like some organs defends the date that the germans enough down a style in chechnya,

they look like every other medication. bonnie does co generals have been dismissed and of course have been tactical, that they've learned tactics on the battlefield, which i proved and i'll continue to prove effective and not please also to, to your claim. so no, it's not. but the rifts at the higher end, a causing these trouble saw from it that also on the battlefield. what we're also seeing is the luck of the defenses. ukrainian supplies of a defense massage and system. so it's essentially pulling off the cliff as one x minutes to put it to make of the last few months. and the result has been a russian aviation, as i call it, has been deployed hunters. indeed thousands of bones on to us. you see that on to your primary lines and can now in fact this guy cannot, in fact conduct close. i support against ukrainian positions that there is also considerable evidence that the russians to take advantage of the ability to control or k. so hope some element of control and you kind of space to or to improve that

recognizance capabilities. so these are topical issues, the russians of learning kinds of learning to of course. and the result is that the pregnant, so having to step by step was maintaining cohesion. withdrawal and retreat from untenable positions. and is this now more about manpower or emulation, the new mobile ization efforts, for example, come a couple of years into this for now. so yeah, that's absolutely essential. this is a war of attrition and that's where the center of gravity, the operational level, is not in power. the russians have the manpower they mobilize, they've caused quite early on in the war. i mid, mid 2022, and an old man to adopt by paying the soldiers, excuse me. well, by uh to it's about 4 or 5 times the national salary. so no, no problems with recruitment, their group. i think it's commonly accepted but to try to $30000.00 people a month. that's not the case with ukrainians. they did that for several months over

that mobilization. it's questionable whether they have to kind of touch with the scale of a quiet amount due is they should also take into focus rather than on high end kids . not the top comes on what have you, but on the quickness, so just pop the front of all the better than they do not particularly the ability of body on what have you been the day we have it. uh no, this is um, this is a very serious matter to the ukrainians. let's hope they stop now to begin to, to mobilize those who haven't yet been mobilized. those who are due to be passing. they use some of the finances they've got to improve the alpha to credit itself is not just on the line, but those of course have come off the line open ended. when did all of that helps with recruitment is the central gravity. and this was a war of attrition. the premiums need to need to mobilize on a scale stimulus about that. the russians great to get your take as always, military analyst, frank language. thank you. can just see you again. thank you. thank you. a secretary of state and to the blinking is on his way to saudi arabia as part of a new push to broker a ceasefire between as well. and thomas,

he said to meet with leaders of golf arab states on monday, they've been mediating a plan for a true send. the return of hostages held in gauze us into the homeless lead terrorist attacks on october 7th is well faces renewed pressure to strike a deal with the as the most militant group. if at least the videos this week showing free hostages alive thousands of his wiley's have rallied again until the beef they calling on they government to do more to bring their loved one time of a sea of white and blue slacks on the streets of tel aviv thousands of his re lease demanding that the government brings the compact for you at home. but after almost 7 months of war, many are turning their fury on prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife. when government's failure to secure a deal. families of the houses will gather to call upon the cabinet members get out of government if you can't secure the hostage data. now this is

i'm speaking from her home. the daughter of us this way. the citizen keith siegel made a similar appeal. a new one does. i've seen my father today only emphasizes to all of us how much we much street to deal as soon as possible and bring everyone home. i demand that the leaders of this country watch this video and see a father crying out for help. the team comes up now and he's government insist that securing the release of all the hostages is their top priority. but many are losing faith. that is rarely leaders are really doing all they can as how mass considers israel's latest proposal for a cease fire in gaza. negotiators have hinted that a hostage deal might be closed, but that's the message. these protesters have been hearing for months, and their patience is running out. authorities in russia has attained to russian journalists on challenges of extremism. accusing them of working for
