00:00 The battle on Ukraine`s eastern front is reaching a pivotal point in the war with Russia.
00:08 Experts say Robotny in the south and Kupyansk in Donetsk remain focal points of dueling
00:13 offensives.
00:16 Ukraine`s troops are coming under constant drone fire, but the mission remains to cleave
00:20 out a land bridge between Russia and Crimea and cut off Moscow`s forces in the occupied
00:25 areas to the south.
00:28 The Russian command realizes the dangers of a breakthrough.
00:31 Large reserves of the Russian armed forces have begun to arrive in the Robotny area.
00:37 But neither army can function without ammunition and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu
00:41 has told workers at a military plant in the Tula region to set up nonstop round-the-clock
00:47 production.
00:51 Shoigu has also recently traveled to North Korea to try to convince Pyongyang to sell
00:55 artillery ammunition to Russia.
01:00 Any arms deal between the DPRK and Russia would directly violate a number of UN Security
01:04 Council resolutions.
01:06 We are continuing to monitor this situation closely and we urge the DPRK to cease its
01:12 arms negotiations with Russia and abide by the public commitments that Pyongyang has
01:16 made to not provide or sell arms to Russia.
01:21 Meanwhile Russian officials vowed that Tuesday night`s drone attack on Pskov airport would
01:26 not go unpunished.
