THOSE PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY. HAVE BEEN COMING IN AND THEY ARE. GOING OUT, IT IS OPEN NOW. WE DO NOT LET THEM GO INTO IRAN. >> Nate: THE ECONOMIC. CONSEQUENCES ARE BUILDING FOR.

UNIAMBASSADOR MIKE WALTZ SAYS. THEY ARE AFRAID OF SECRETARY OF. TREASURY SCOTT BESSENT, THEY ARE. FEELING ECONOMIC PRESSURE LIKE. NEVER BEFORE. PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THIS FIRST. TERM, MAXIMUM PRESSURE CAMPAIGN.

END OF FIRST TERM HAD THEM DOWN. TO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF. ACCESSIBLE FOREIGN RESERVE AND. THAT IS DEFAULT TERRITORY. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM FEELING. PAIN, THEY ARE PAST THAT STAGE. THIS IS ABOUT THEM LITERALLY. RUNNING OUT OF MONEY. THEY CAN'T PAY THEIR SOLDIERS, THEIR BESIEGE, SECURITY FORCES, THAT IS WHEN THINGS FALL APART. >> Nate: WAR IN UKRAINE, KYIV. CARRYING OUT DEADLIEST STRIKE.

YET. THEY STRUCK 750 MILES. WITHIN RUSSIAN TERRITORY, KILLING 13 AND INJURING 78. WHAT DOES THAT LONG-RANGE. CAPABILITY SHOW ABOUT UKRAINE? >> Victoria: IT IS REALLY. REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT ON PART. OF UKRAINE TO HAVE LONG-RANGE. ATTACK DRONES THEY CAN USE INTO. RUSSIAN TERRITORY. THEY ARE RESPONDING TO RUSSIA'S. ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS IN UKRAINE. WHICH GO ON, WHICH ARE.

HORRENDOUS, THEY WILL NOT TAKE. THAT ANYMORE, THEY WILL ATTACK. BACK. THERE ARE REPORTS PRESIDENT. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY WAS TALKING. ABOUT SOME 50,000 NORTH KOREAN. TROOPS WILL BE DEPLOYED TO. RUSSIAN SOIL. THIS COLLABORATION BETWEEN. RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA IS. ESCALATING INDICATING RUSSIA MAY. BE RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE. THEY NEED HELP MORE THAN UKRAINE. DOES. >> Nate: PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR. ZELENSKYY SAID FOR FIRST TIME IN.

HISTORY, RUSSIA ACTUALLY CANNOT. CARRY OUT A WAR WITHOUT NORTH. KOREA'S HELP AND SAYS RUSSIANS. AT HOME WILL FEEL THIS WAR MORE. AND MORE AS THE DAYS A.
