because the u.s is starving ukraine out of air defense and again this is being underreported as well here's the uh report due to a critical shortage of pac-3 interceptor missiles for patriot systems ukrainian launchers remained empty last month unable to repel ballistic strikes on energy facilities and you know from our reporting

that Russia was launching those Shahid drones, those ballistic missiles, those cruise missiles, and they've been ramping it up.

And by the way, they were working with Donald Trump to lure the Ukrainians out about and into the streets.

And that's when Russia striked as well.

You remember when Donald Trump made this announcement that he spoke with Vladimir Putin and Putin promised me strongly that he was going to stop

firing on Ukraine during the very cold weather that exists in Ukraine.

And Putin told me that he will be stopping so we can have these peace talks in the United Arab Emirates.

Remember, Donald Trump said that.

Then Zelensky posted a message saying, thank you.

That's appreciated.

It's been helpful to have.

A day or so with no ballistic missile strike.

So thanks for doing that, Donald.

Right after Donald said that, Putin, boom, puts the ballistic missiles, cruise missile, Shahi drones, one of the biggest drone swarms we've seen.

That's what's truthfully taking place.

And while all of that's going on, Donald Trump is trying to force now a total surrender upon Zelensky.

Complete capitulation.

Russia has not budged at all.

Russia is not making a single concession.

So when anybody talks about a Ukrainian peace deal, remember, Russia hasn't offered anything.
