"Are just too large to sustain. Mason Clark thinks that's happening now in the Donbass fight. They're just slowly losing combat power over time. And the morale of Russian forces is absolutely plummeting. Clark had a team focused on Russia the institute for the study of war. In exchange for modest territorial gains, he says, Russia is sacrificing many of its best soldiers and officers. Long term, this is going to be a generational event for the Russian military of, frankly, so much expertise is being lost for them among these high officer casualties. It's going to make it very difficult not just to do short term corrections, but rebuild in the long term. Moscow has shaken up its leadership of the war, but Ben Hodges a retired lieutenant general who commanded U.S. forces in Europe, says it's clear core problems haven't been solved. The depth of the corruption inside the Ministry of Defense and the military was much greater than I had expected. Hodges, who's now an analyst at a think tank called sipa, predicts Ukraine's military will continue to grow in strength while Russia falters. The logistics, their manpower problems, they threaten on the inside that I don't believe it. So sustainable. And that at some point, it's going to crack. Most analysts think that process will take time, a slow bloody war of attrition will last months and Ukraine will continue to pay a terrible price for its resistance. But there's also a growing conviction, invading Ukraine will have consequences well beyond the battlefield. This is, I think, fairly devastating for the Russians. Jeffrey Edmonds is a former director for Russia on the National Security Council. Now an analyst, the think tank called CNA. He thinks the growing brain drain and long-term sanctions will cripple Russia. He is really sucked him back decades. There are signs western leaders are confident they have Russia cornered this week, NATO allies will promise even more military aid to Ukraine, hoping to inflict maximum damage on Russia's army. But most analysts agree Russia will remain a major world player, a nuclear power, an important ally of China, rich in natural resources. Tracy German, Russia expert at King's College London, worries there's not yet any plan for dealing with Russia in the future. I've seen nothing to suggest that that's really being taught about. And I think that's a critical question, isn't it moving forwards? How we engage. Analysts say a deeply wounded and isolated Russia could be even more unstable. More unpredictable and more dangerous.

"The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the weapons package that will be formally unveiled on Wednesday. The U.S. decision to provide the advanced rocket systems tries to strike a balance between the desire to help Ukraine battle ferocious Russian artillery barrages while not providing arms that could allow Ukraine to hit targets deep inside Russia and trigger an escalation in the war. And a guest essay published Tuesday evening in The New York Times, president Joe Biden confirmed that he's decided to provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine. Biden had said Monday that the U.S. would not send Ukraine, rocket systems that can strike into Russia. Any weapon system can shoot into Russia if it's close enough to the border. The aid package expected to be unveiled Wednesday would send what the U.S. considers medium range rockets. They generally can travel about 45 miles, the officials said. The Ukrainians have assured U.S. officials that they will not fire rockets into Russian territory, according to the senior administration officials. One official noted that the advanced rocket systems will give Ukrainian forces greater precision and targeting Russian assets inside Ukraine. The expectation is that Ukraine could use the rockets in the eastern Donbass region, where they could both intercept Russian artillery and take out Russian positions and towns where fighting is intense, such as severe dynasty. Severe danette is important to Russian efforts to capture the Donbass before more western arms arrive to bolster Ukraine's defense. The city, which is 90 miles south of the Russian border, is in an area that is the last pocket under Ukrainian government control in the Luhansk region of the Donbass. Biden and his New York Times essay added, we are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders. We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia. It's the 11th package approved so far, and will be the first to tap the $40 billion in security and economic assistance recently.

"Is WTO P news Double DT will be news time now 1252 good morning Welcome in This week a Russian missile attack hit near where the UN secretary general was actually staying during his visit to the Ukrainian capital For a look at how the war is actually going for Russia right now Let's turn to WTO national security correspondent JJ green They are very excited about it Hopefully we've passed the turning point at which the help which we so badly need will begin to arrive faster and in larger quantities Here we sac adviser to the minister of defense he says the sooner they get this help The sooner we will be able to liberate more of Ukrainian cities and the sooner we will be able to restore peace in Ukraine He says this war isn't just about Ukraine which means restore peace in Europe And it's important to note that one of the key warnings that western intelligence officials gave when this war started was if Ukraine falls so does Europe And we've seen evidence of that this week with Russia swinging at Poland Moldova and Bulgaria JJ the battle for Hakeem is fierce right now characterize eats importance for us in Russia's plan in the fight taking the fight to Ukraine Well Sean speaking to a couple of Ukrainian Ministry of Defense spokespeople and a couple of intelligence folks Russia's inability to seize her key right now is hindering them from launching the kind of massive offensive they want in the Donbass They want to pound this place just like they did Mario pole But Ukraine is getting the weapons that they need and they're getting them out of fast clip These Ukrainian sources are telling me in the problem for Russia is trying to stay ahead of the flow of weapons And then Ukraine's strategy is a problem for the Russians They blew up one of their own bridges just to slow the Russians down so there's this question about whether harkey could eventually become another Mario pole And these sources say that it's difficult to make a decision on whether that can happen because Russia's strategy keeps changing It's all over the place on a daily basis and they don't have a cohesive strategy The UN secretary general said the war in Ukraine will end when Russia decides to end at JJ Does that suggest even he thinks this is going to be a long slog I think he meant to say this war could end today if Russia had stopped its activities but the way he put it some people say it's a dangerous statement because if you put yourself in Vladimir Putin's headspace it makes him think Russia is in control of this war Truth is Russia's not Source told me we should look for attacks in Moscow and other cities soon inside Russia Ukraine won't claim them but they'll be done to help Ukraine So Russia is not in control of this anymore but I think the secretary general.

"A huge return already over the last couple of years So it's rightsizing and reducing the risk in that And I think one way to do that there was a time and a place to be long equities and belong only and have this one directional exposure but now we're talking about layering some hedges And maybe you sell away some of the upside by selling a call option and you bought and use that premium to buy a put option so you do have some sort of protection on the downside So I think that right there is one of the more important things that investors can do and then it's about sectors and that it's about where else can you get a yield Tom What's the price to hedge right now Is it outrageous as everybody on board and that they knocked up the price to hedge No it's not outrageous and that's exactly why I'm talking about it today versus let's say a month ago when you had the visit that spiked to 35 that was definitely not the time to be talking about putting on this downside protection but now at vix 20 ish or so now is the time to be looking at some of those foot options I mean it gets very nuanced and very dynamic very quickly but you want to find the points on the volatility curve where you can sell rich cauldron premium and you can get put option that's reasonably priced Anesthesia is definitely not outrageous right now We've caught on you over the years for the perspective of your heritage in the travels you've made particularly to the Black Sea This is a weekend where Odessa is under unique threat To you what is the Odessa distinction now What does it mean for Ukraine for that matter What does it mean for Russia Well it is a dire situation needless to say in Ukraine And unfortunately there's been almost an international concession right now that Russia is not likely to succeed broadly in Ukraine but it seems like Russia has a pretty good chance of succeeding in the Donbass region In the Black Sea region and it really connecting that So perhaps Russia is not going to get you crane as the buffer zone that they were really hoping for but it seems like it's pretty likely that they might succeed at reuniting the southeastern forage of Ukraine And carving that out as the buffer zone they so desperately wanted Anastasia just awesome as always in fantastic Thank you So if I capital on a situation in Ukraine and of course on the broader market as well should you buy the weakness right now in some of the cyclical parts of this equity market Tom Do you want to buy some cyclicality Given that move lower I mean that's the conversation with the guests going into earnings season isn't it Can Leon and his notice we get ready for an exact week saying the big banks are undervalued I mean there's a lot of opinions on there Look at DNI yesterday On fire over the cheapness of you know I said as a joke or the big Texan new consumer Staples Resetting the valuation to lower interwar eggs that's what we're doing Lisa particularly for the big banks What I find fascinating is when you start to talk about potential hedges or the ballast you start to talk about rearranging sectors It gets much more granular than ever before then overweighting or underweighting stocks or bonds And I take a look at for example retail When you say lean into cyclical weakness does that mean by retailers that are down 11% year to date versus the some 6% decline of the S&P How much do you lean into that when we're expecting that weakness to transpire throughout the year Market timing is so so difficult Christmas and a Goldman put out a note this morning Tom And this line I know you'll enjoy This will resonate with you Timing bear markets is even more difficult than forecasting recessions And he said this timing the market competes with time in the market You try to time the market it competes with time in the market As you know Tom looking through the history of equity markets time in the market is everything It is everything You got to be in the game to play at a Gina Martin Adams of Bloomberg is just outstanding on that concept John what I talked to Anastasia amarosa about to me the key thing with Odessa get out the map to the southwest of Odessa way over on the west side of this Ukraine Black Sea they are stunning only 100 miles from in Romania where NATO would set up naval shop a hundred miles John It's your best place to talk about this and just 30 seconds if you can That body of water Turkey's role in it at the moment just in terms of being a mediator for conversations negotiations where is it now Where it is is they have some kind of original power I don't think anybody knows what mister Erdoğan's power is But yes the Bosporus straits as always going back to the beginning is key Tom Kane Lisa brahmi and Jonathan pharaoh On TV and radio counting you down to the oven and fall in just a couple of hour time with equities lifting a bit at four tenths of 1% on the S&P This is.

"To trickle in Condemnation from western nations continues to grow Before he left on his trip to Brussels yesterday this is what Secretary of State Antony Blinken said This reinforces our determination and the determination of countries around the world To make sure that one way or another one day or another there is accountability For those who committed these acts for those who ordered them He's meeting G 7 and NATO foreign ministers over the next couple of days where he says they hope to sustain and increase the pressure on Russia to stop this aggression And Pierre Michelle Kellerman is traveling with Secretary of State blinken She's with us on the line now Michelle Don't imagine that you're going to be any surprises as far as what the agenda is going to be today Yeah I mean those images out of bucha those scenes those gruesome scenes Also the Ukrainian president appealed to the UN Security Council yesterday to hold Russia to account for atrocities are really at the top of everyone's minds here in Brussels secretary blinken told us that these are not the actions of a rogue unit but a deliberate campaign by Russia to kill torture and rape those were his words The U.S. is supporting efforts to gather and safeguard evidence for future war crimes trials but that's going to take time Blinken was here in Brussels really to keep allies united and focused on all of this because there's a lot of concern that as Russia pulls back from areas around Kyiv They plan to focus more on the Donbass area in the east and the U.S. wants to make sure that the Europeans are ready for this war to drag on and to do what they can to put pressure on Russia and to keep supply in Ukraine with weapons Is there anything concrete they plan to announce So secretary blinken did announce another $100 million in military aid that's up for javelin anti tank missiles The U.S. has given Ukraine $1.7 billion in security assistance since Russia invaded We're also expecting to hear more sanctions announcement in Washington and Brussels The European Union has already said that it's expanding the sanctions They have in place They're closing loopholes and they're banning coal imports from Russia There's really a big push to get the Europeans to be less dependent on Russian energy supplies That's going to take time but the U.S. believes that they're moving in that direction And I should say that all of this you know the military support the sanctions are really meant to strengthen Ukraine's hand as it tries to negotiate some kind of end to this war Is blinking meeting with anyone else while he's there He is meeting with European diplomats who have been involved in negotiations with Iran they're the ones who are trying to revive that nuclear deal that the Trump administration left He's also meeting with Japan's foreign minister and his Australian counterpart So you can see the Biden administration is still focused on I know which is the other big threat Australia the U.S. and UK a group known as August just announced an agreement to cooperate more in high-tech areas including on hypersonics Those are weapons that are designed to evade existing missile defense systems China has been testing those missiles and Russia has said that it's used them in the war in Ukraine So again a big focus on that That's NPR's Michelle Kellerman She is with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Brussels today Michelle thank you Thank you Medical providers in Oklahoma who perform abortions will face up to ten years in prison if a new bill passed by the legislature goes into effect With no debate and limited discussion the Republican controlled House approved a bill that aims to make abortions a felony while hundreds of abortion rights supporters rallied outside the capitol And now awaits a signature from Republican governor Kevin stitt who has previously said he would sign and any anti abortion legislation Reporter Katherine Sweeney of public radio initiative state impact Oklahoma joins us now Catherine efforts to ban abortion are not new in Oklahoma What makes this particular bill different The big thing is context So right below us Texas recently banned the vast majority of abortions which drove up demand here in Oklahoma I talked with Iman I'll say it in who's the medical director for Planned Parenthood of the great plains and the last four months of 2020 before that ban Texans 50 of them or so came to this great plains region the Planned Parenthood clinics here for abortion services After that ban the last four months of 2021 it was about 1100 So Oklahoma providers are treating those people and their own Absolutely The burden on New Mexico and Kansas and Louisiana is going to be immense There's also concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court won't step in and ways that there weren't concerns about that in the past So it sounds like Oklahoma's ban could have a pretty big impact on the region That's definitely for sure Again we're treating people from other states And if Oklahoma stops providing abortions abortion rights activists are concerned that that will just push further north and also Kansas is considering a ban on a ballot initiative that they'll vote on in August Catherine this vote come as any surprise I guess and no So the house the GOP controlled house passed the bill with 70 votes for 14 against It was a surprise because that Bill had been assumed dormant It got almost to the finish line last year seemingly disappeared They kind of brought it back with just one vote this year It didn't have to go through the whole process So that came as a surprise But the legislature has passed about a dozen abortion bills this year abortion restriction bills And they seem to be retrying past ones They actually passed a bill just like this in 2016 The governor then vetoed it but we have a new governor now and governor Sid has said whole sign any abortion restriction measures that make it to his desk So what's next in the fight for reproductive rights That bill that criminalizes performing abortions That's going to the governor's desk He's expected to sign it Actually today a House committee will vote on another bill that's a copycat of the ban in Texas And we'll see if there are injunctions on any of these bills Like I said there are about a dozen We don't know which ones will manage to go into effect In the coming months the Supreme.
