greetings, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid, we will analyze the most important events of this week and, of course, we will try to predict what the following weeks will bring us, our guests today. retired british army colonel and expatriate russian opposition activist mark fagin. glen grant, a retired colonel of the british army, a military expert, will be working on the tv channel now. god save the king. glory to ukraine. glory to russia. extremely

difficult situation now in the east. the enemy is trying to develop its offensive actions. extremely tough battles continue, but the armed forces of ukraine are doing everything. impossible under the given circumstances. first, it's a bitter fight, and both sides are pushing hard, possibly because of the russian election. general intelligence reports suggest that the russian side, while looking strong, is not as formidable as it may seem. however, they are fully committed to the battle, suggesting limited reserves or additional support. in addition, it comes. message about additional munitions from north korea in addition to their own production. this puts the russian forces in a much stronger position than the ukrainians, who were forced to retreat and are now consolidating their defenses along the river lines west of

avdiivka. it is hoped that these defensive lines have been adequately prepared to withstand the pressure. however, it is obvious that the ukrainian side is faced with due to the lack of personnel and ammunition, which is complicated by the limitation in support from america and europe, the result this battle may be decisive. if ukraine manages to get the river line, it will give it time to stabilize the front and develop a strategy for the future. however, if russia breaks through, the coming months could prove extremely difficult. how might the enemy try. offensive actions after avdiivka, we understand that offensive actions are resources of manpower, resources of equipment and logistical resources of general coherence at the front. how do you see the plan of the russian general staff now? undoubtedly, the main goal of russia is

exhaustion of ukraine and achievement of a breakthrough. putin perceives the west as weak at the moment, which gives him a favorable opportunity to launch a strong attack. obviously, if a party does not have sufficient ammunition and manpower, it becomes vulnerable to attack as its weakness is exploited by the enemy. on the ukrainian side, we did not help ourselves by gaining positions for so long, especially in places like avdiivka. this decision cost us dearly in terms of resources that could be better used in more strategically prepared positions along a straight line. obtaining such a surrounded position as avdiivka requires much more forces and means than the defense of a straight line. russia will undoubtedly continue to press and use all available resources, especially in view of the upcoming elections in moscow, where

putin needs to demonstrate success not only in one city, but also across the country to validate his entire battle plan. so this is a critical moment. both for ukraine and for russia. now we see that the front line is extremely powerfully activated. yes, it is the kupinsky direction, this is donetsk region, and this is the south. various not very pleasant surprises can also await the south, if we talk about the offensive impulse of the enemy in those three directions, there is already some understanding of which direction the enemy can use or try to make his strategically offensive. it is difficult to predict for two reasons. first, it will depend on their success. remember that the russian doctrine is to consolidate success, so their strategy will most likely be to assess which of the areas they will push forward, will be the most vulnerable. they not only

attack, but also scout for weak points. whatever area the russians consider the weakest, they are stronger. with her extra ammunition and manpower to keep the pressure on and possibly break through the defensive line. there is already an understanding or a sense of where the enemy will... try to concentrate their resources. kupyansk or the south? again, it's hard to make a definitive assessment at this point. although we have access to intelligence about russia's actions, it is important to recognize that the ukrainian side in ultimately determines the direction of the russian attack. if ukrainian forces hold their ground, russia can continue its current strategy. however, if any part of the ukrainian defense begins to crack, such as the situation in avdiivka, russia is likely to focus its efforts there. it is too early

to say whether russia will increase its attacks in a specific area, significant pressure is observed in many regions, in particular in the south near mariupol and on the western front near avdiivka. may need more about two weeks to assess how effectively the ukrainian defense is holding up in these areas. than we can determine where russia will concentrate its efforts. it is important to recognize that it is difficult to predict russia's actions until it determines the areas of its success against ukraine on which it will focus its strategy. in the confrontation with russia, during a full-scale war, we understand that asymmetric actions are also important. definitely the first priority. the goal of strategic importance is the crimean bridge. its destruction would disrupt transport links with crimea,

forcing russia to rely on sea or land routes, creating logistical problems. in addition, any delays due to damage to railway bridges will further complicate the movement of russians. although asymmetric actions can be effective, especially for disrupting enemy operations. i am skeptical about their direct influence. to the front line against the full resources and capabilities of russia. asymmetric actions often require longer-range missiles and more naval drones that can be difficult to access. asymmetric actions are only truly effective when they are directly related to front-line operations. simply targeting the rear may not have the desired effect on the front unless executed with strategic ingenuity. the example of world war ii illustrates the strategic value

of disabling key industrial facilities, such as power stations, by blowing up german dumps, as well as ball bearing factories, as they are essential to enemy equipment and mobility. today, disrupting the production of electronic chips could similarly limit enemy capabilities, but russia's access to these components from abroad. such an approach. sanctions play a critical role in limiting russia's military capabilities by targeting key supplies such as artillery ammunition. after all, well-trained personnel and mastery of the basic capabilities of artillery and drones remain indispensable components of our defense strategy. these fundamentals combined with innovative approaches are necessary for effective. they die every day, no i know, hundreds of russian troops,

russian aircraft are regularly shot down, but there is a feeling that they are starting to regroup, and some evidence of this is the change in the military districts of the russian federation. from the russian side , it is obvious that they are quickly learning, adapting and developing their strategies for conducting hostilities at a pace that is ahead of the ukrainian pace. general staff. there is no doubt about their effectiveness in implementing these changes. however, as i have emphasized before, ukraine must find a way to outsmart the russians strategically. creating uncertainty and disrupting their telepathic positions proved to be an effective way to force them to retreat, as happened at izyum. even well-trained troops fled when faced with such a situation, and they simply mounted their bicycles and rode away. when the russians, aware of them, have outflanked them, they become vulnerable and are more

likely to be ambushed. the danger is that the russians may face us head-on in a conventional soviet-style battle. in such scenarios , the numerical advantage of the russians, larger reserves ammunition and a general advantage in technology make them stronger than ukraine. therefore, it is imperative to review our approach to this conflict and consider alternative strategies. continuation of confrontation with russia. using the same tactics she is using against us will only lead to further retreats on our part. it is important to think innovatively and apply tactics that are focused. in vulnerable places for russia. new military districts. i don't think there is any clear logic behind it. i need time to study and understand the implications of some russian changes. it seems that they are trying to innovate and take warfare to a new level, but their exact intentions are not yet clear. what will the spring-summer

campaign be like, as you see it, if we look at the situation from a strategic overview, or do you think vaughn can dare to open additional areas of the front, in particular in belarus. it is unknown, no one fully understands the situation due to various current factors. general syrsky and his new team aim to change the approach to warfare, which is the first variable. if they can do it, it can lead to a change in the dynamics of the conflict. however , without such changes, there is a risk of either a stalemate or further territorial losses. for ukraine. the second variable is that a proper training system for the ukrainian military will be created, as it currently does not exist. improved training can significantly increase the quality of ukrainian troops and their effectiveness in combat. the third change concerns support from europe and the us, particularly financial aid. if congress allocates funds, ukrainian troops will have access to

more ammunition and resources, which will improve their combat. the fourth variable is belarus, for now it remains independent, dare to even describe it that way. elections will be held this year and we do not know what might change in lukashenka's mind. of course, we know that he will be re-elected, because there will be no elections as such. there, this process is honed on the model of russia, he will simply become the president, gaining 147% of the votes, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. however, we do not know whether after... re-election he will continue to run on his hind legs in front of putin, will he still act of his own free will and in this case from the north, as there will no longer be such a threat. you need to look at each of these variables and test them. and of course, society should ask what changes will happen in the army, because it makes no sense

to change all the commanders and appoint new ones. if after the arrival of new ones'. nothing will change if they continue to do the same thing, then maybe they shouldn't have done that rotation because it won't get the desired result, so the event will now focus on whether there is positive dynamics after the arrival of the new command in the direction of the western way of conducting combat operations and the western way of training soldiers, and not the continuation of the implementation of the consequences of the soviet legacy. a couple of days ago... there was an extremely important summit in the elysée palace in paris, president macron gathered people and promised, so to speak, that military support would increase, so on the one hand this is an extremely good signal, although we very often divide it all promises in half. president macron looks worried and maybe he's hesitating, yes

because the war on the european continent has every prospect of getting involved sooner or later. well, but one or another member of nato, and accordingly, the europeans will have to do something, not just promise taurus missiles, which then they will not give. first, let's clarify that there is nothing particularly new in this situation, it's just another step forward along the same trajectory. macron's recognition of the threat to europe is more a political maneuver aimed at strengthening his own image against the background of scholz and ... influence in europe than a real concern about of ukraine. any predictions, new, in quotation marks of action or support from france could have been given months ago, underscoring the political nature of his statements. it's worth noting that french aid often falls short of expectations, a trend that should

temper any hype about yet another pledge. at the same time as some. while northern european countries such as estonia, finland and poland are taking tangible steps to address the situation, many other european countries are far from realizing the seriousness of the threat they face. would have faced without american support. macron's statements lack the necessary force and energy to demonstrate genuine commitment. if he was really seriously targeted, we would have seen deployed french troops on ukrainian soil a long time ago. however, his rhetoric suggests that he talks more than he does, serious countries favor action over talk, while macron's approach seems built on rhetoric rather than real effort. regarding the organization of the united nations, it is important to recognize that it is limited effectiveness and impact. the un is now just

a bazaar, behind which there is as much energy as any supermarket chain in europe. unfortunately, these are the same words without action. similarly, the european union has not fully realized the urgency of the situation and has not resorted to decisive measures. thus, despite the rhetoric and debate, there is little to indicate substantive change or meaningful action. the lack of concrete steps, such as the deployment of troops in ukraine, shows that the current situation is characterized more by talk than by reality transformations thank you very much for this extremely important conversation in our dramatic time, mr. colonel, i would like to remind our viewers that on espresso right now we had a retired british army colonel , a military expert, glen grant. god save ukraine. there are discounts on combi grip

to ukraine, mark, i congratulate you. well, the population of the russian federation, i think, was waiting for its führer in order to analyze, so to speak, new guidelines, he started, so to speak, about fishing, you understand, about painting the grass, about new heating lines, about some, i don’t know i know, country cooperatives, about everything, but not about the key, the number of corpses, that is, at least a quarter of a million russian soldiers. which lay in the ukrainian chernozems, in principle it does not scare him, that is , the system entered into some kind of, you know, cannibalistic stability, you know, there were probably several versions of this report, including or not, including some sharp points, especially regarding the war in ukraine and some issues related to the international agenda, everyone expected that something would be announced in the context of transnistria,

there were some reasons for this, because... the kremlin deliberately incited such a situation, this is not the first time that this has happened, that expectations deceived in a good or bad sense, it is already like someone, and it looked like an ordinary campaign speech on the eve of the so-called elections on march 17, like a report on the work done, it looks something like this: partkhoz asset, so well known from soviet times, airports , gardening and so on. that is, in this sense, they went for a softer option, what was the reason for this, it is difficult to say. it seems to me that they decided not to make the topic of the war central, not to connect with it, to calmly pass the 2.5 weeks remaining until formal x-day, that is, a vote for the führer, which will obviously be replaced. it doesn't matter how they will vote

, they will announce the result, 70%, i... that's why we decided not to bother and decided to go through this moment in a purely bureaucratic way, although someone will say why it was necessary to schedule this speech on february 29, on a leap day that happens once every four years , a very symbolic date for this, and we know that the month of february is so important for putin, because he killed nemtsov in february. killed navalny in february, started a war with ukraine in february, that is, he could do it to spend on march 1 or 2 , that is, the date was chosen, who believes in numerology, maybe not by chance, we assume that, but with all that it was limited to a purely bureaucratic set, this is such a small venting of steam, because in general putin is convinced that everything is going more -more or less good, not perfect, but more or less good. and echelons.

it is somehow not baked in the refrigerators of russian soldiers, that is, we do not see in principle any social feedback, of course, of course, yes, that is why he does not feel the threat and danger from this factor of the costs of the war, that is, there is no significant number of dead servicemen, losses of personnel , this is not feedback, he himself will not pedal this topic or in any way solve or restrain it. "if the people are not indignant, then in principle everything goes more or less normally. judge for yourself, on the second anniversary of the war, zelensky speaks and talks about 31,000 dead ukrainian soldiers, and multiple times, at least five times as many dead russians, i think that the ratio is correct some argue that this figure is accurate or inaccurate, but the ratio is quite

real. in addition. western sources paint the same picture.
