Tonight. Moscow.
Marjorie getting air time in Russia.
Kremlin propaganda
showcasing Congresswoman Marjorie
Taylor Greene in a big way.
She fights tooth and nail
against aid to Ukraine.
Russia seething
tonight as that aid
appears to be headed to Ukraine
as early as later this week.
Fred Pleitgen is OUTFRONT
tonight in Kiev.
Russian troops
advancing in a heavy
firefight in eastern Ukraine.
So far,
this video from Russian military TV
claiming to show Ukrainian soldiers
having to surrender.
Ukraine's
howitzers, often unable
to support their frontline units,
severely lacking
155 millimeter artillery shells.
But now they hope that will change
some strategy.
Will defend ourselves and counterattack.
But what has to be controlled?
What
Kremlin controlled media.
Seething after the House passed
the Ukraine aid bill
while praising Republican
Representative
Marjorie Taylor Greene
for trying to derail it.
Leading former
Republican Congressman Ken Buck
to give her the nickname Moscow Marjorie.
On OUTFRONT, Moscow.
Marjorie is focused now
on this Ukraine issue
and getting her talking points
from the Kremlin.
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
the congresswoman,
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who New York Post
already dressed in Yuschenko,
a hat with a star
officially putting her
in the ranks of Kremlin agents,
calling Speaker
Johnson a Democrat
elected by Ukraine also.
But even though Greene also said
that Johnson betrayed
not only Republicans
but the whole of the U.S..
Nonetheless, the U.S.
military aid will be bigger
this year compared to the past two years.
And, of course,
there is nothing good in that.
Russia's foreign minister
going even further,
threatening nuclear confrontation.
But the Westerners
are teetering
dangerously on the brink of a direct
military clash
between nuclear powers
fraught with catastrophic consequences,
particularly that it's
the troika of Western
nuclear states
that are among key sponsors
of the criminal Kiev regime. Through
Ukraine is in desperate
need of lots of artillery ammo,
Kiev says, badly outgunned by Vladimir
Putin's forces,
but also air defense missiles.
With Russia
drastically escalating its missile
and drone campaign
against Ukraine's
cities and power plants.
Ukraine's president saying he's
grateful for the aid,
but the weapons need to come fast.
They just means political committees.
The time between political decisions
and inflicting real defeats on the enemy
at the front,
between the approval of the aid package
and providing the strength to our guys.
This should be reduced to a minimum.
And the Ukrainians hope U.S.
aid will arrive quickly
and change the tune on the battlefield,
allowing Kiev's forces to stop further
Russian advances.
The
and Fred, of course, you're in Kiev
and you have been there
through this as Ukraine has been
just desperately hoping
and saying their need for U.S.
assistance now for months and months.
Now it looks like they
could finally get it.
What about that point
Wolinsky was making?
Does it come fast enough?
Is this too little too late?
Well, certainly
it's no secret for the Ukrainians that
right now
the Russians definitely are pressing.
Erin.
It's happening on the eastern front.
It's happening
on the southern front as well.
If you look at the eastern front,
for instance,
there's that town of Transfer,
which is near
Bermuda, which of course we reported on
so much in the past years
really where the Russians are
have entered that town actually already
and are fighting for it right now.
So certainly for the Ukrainians
is a desperate situation right now.
But none of these Russian gains
have been strategic yet.
They don't have any main towns yet.
They don't have any larger cities yet.
The Ukrainians do say
if that aid comes in,
when that aid comes,
that they believe
that they're going to be able
to hold the Russians up
and possibly reverse
the tide
and maybe even launch
a counter-offensive of their own Erin.
All right, Fred Pleitgen,
thank you so much, live in
Kyiv, as we said tonight.
