impulse the offensive impulse is the live russian meat that they throw, but we understand that they now have a sufficient number of trained people. in principle, this does not apply to the kharkiv operation now, because the resource base is insufficient. it's about personnel, it's about equipment, and so on. but this does not mean that putin will not try to push his vision of the korean war. and most importantly, the war in korea ended not even when it ended. the offensive impulse of the russian-korean-chinese interventionists ended when stalin died, but this one is still alive, despite the prophecies of the nightingale. not only that stalin died. not only did stalin die, for another 50 years, 100,000 american soldiers remained on the territory of south korea. this was the main thing in the korean scenario. if putin died, it would be a wonderful gift to all humanity, but i spoke in detail about the korean scenario, because it is necessary to... but

i say again, ukraine will not agree to this scenario and part of the west, led by macron, will not agree to it . read it, me i turn to our viewers the declaration of the entente cordiale, the new cordial agreement between the british and france, the joint statement of foreign ministers cameron and sejourne. these are wonderful texts, it reminds me of the vocabulary of churchill's war speeches. it says that we are obliged. it is a matter of our honor, our security, to defeat russia, and future humanity will judge us by how we have accomplished this mission, or we will be defeated, so no korean options and no long war, mr. putin. well, but putin, well, he is not ready to agree to this concept. rather everything he does, he tries to attract chinese help, yes, well, maybe resource, maybe some additional, maybe negotiation, is coming, yes. the so-called

swiss peace format, it is still not known whether the chinese will be there as observers, and putin probably decided to open a new additional section of the front, when we are talking, in particular about the north of the kharkiv region, in your opinion, what is the reason for this next one phase of senseless aggression in the kharkiv direction, and of course this is to show the swiss conference some the facts on the ground, no capture of kharkov can be for... this requires 500,000 minced meat russian soldiers, he only has 50, well, they will present a few villages, they may still take them, but the fact is that they have arrived this huge camp to china, but china has its own game, which is the strongest effective factor in china, everyone also lost very much, just like putin, xi basically carried out a coup d'état in china, he broke the tradition of densioping, went for a third term, as he said, chinese people...

elect me for a third term, i will bring you taiwan. why was he so sure, because he thought that he pushed putin to aggression. taiwan was saved by ukraine in its hostomel battle. if putin had taken ukraine, as american intelligence believed, in seven days, he would have taken taiwan with his bare hands after that. it would already be clear that if in front of the eyes of the whole world, in front of the eyes of the americans , ukraine lost in seven days, then siy would have won this game, but he lost it. it has been two years since american investment stopped, the flow of american technology, and the chinese economy is going through extremely difficult times, and already xi the chinese elite is making claims, they say, you promised us taiwan, taiwan is gone, instead, it has been two years since the collapse of the chinese economy, but to restore relations with the usa, and objectively it is necessary and there is enormous domestic political pressure. everyone, of course, does not want to abandon putin now, but he will still be needed. as an argument, but we are under

enormous pressure to restore relations with the us. so putin has nothing to catch here either. are you saying he hasn't given up hope on the korean version yet? let the person gradually realize his defeat. release of patrushev showed that he had taken the first step towards enlightenment. he realized that his nuclear blackmail was not working, decided to replace it with a long war and parallel pressure on the west with the help of china. we understand that bortnikov and the federal security service, in particular military intelligence, they should be responsible for the implementation of this blitzkrieg, it was all a fake, you see, from beginning to end, but he did not go against bortnikov, do you have a feeling that , that bortnikov can be next, so he chooses who is more dangerous, let these... generals, when their

they will torture in cells, shout that bortnikov is guilty. stalin also, when it was necessary to choose between the army and the lubyanka, chose the lubyanka, because it is always more dangerous for... for dictators than the army. lubyanka is , in the end, those people who are nearby, who protect him. by the way, prostalin has the same structure. boardmen, royals, as they were, so they will remain. it doesn't matter who will topple the dictator personally. it is important that the concept of a long war will be broken. i can firmly say that until january 21, 2025. ago it is so important who will be the president there. this could be explained in more detail. to talk, by the way, i'm not sure who will be one of the two, biden or trump, they are both very nondescript. secondly, i believe that the concept of macron, the concept of the entente, the new cordial agreement, will be implemented long before january 21, 2025, it is technically

very simple to implement, only political will is needed, a hundred, preferably two planes in the sky of ukraine, and there will be no long war thank you very much andrii andriyovych for this extremely interesting and informative conversation, god bless you, i want to remind our tv viewers that andrii piontkovskyi, a famous political scientist who is in washington, was currently working on espresso. your country is located in the region where a soviet soldier's leg stood during the great patriotic war, i am from this region, we will not go to feel life, not heartburn,

present the self-titled project with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals. who interpret and comment on the most relevant public discussions, what news will be analyzed by the guests of the project this week and actually who will be the guest of the studio, we will find out already this sunday, clearly, the topics will be relevant, the guests will be special, their own names with myroslava barchuk, sunday 17:10 on espresso. and now it's on the air oleksiy hetman, major of the national guard of ukraine in the reserve, veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, will work on the espresso tv channel. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, i congratulate you. kharkiv direction. yes, the enemy seems to be expanding this section of the front by another 70 km. on the other hand, we understand that they

did not use their so-called strategic reserve in order to intensify offensive actions there, so i would ask you first of all to assess the current operational situation in kharkiv region. this is exactly what the textbooks say should be done. in vain, so that you can continue to try to move forward, well, using already connecting, well, the main forces, because they used to create these bridgeheads, this is approximately 15%, no more than 15% of the grouping that is there, was there, i mean alive strength, with equipment there is a separate issue, why do you need no less, well, 15 km is roughly better, a little more, because in order for there to be no close shelling of the advancing troops from the flanks, from what not from mortars, that is, it should be so, so wide , if they

want to spread, well, that's also quite understandable, we are talking about the minimum width of these bridgeheads, if they are larger, then it is better for the advancing army, then they provide in the center more or less the opportunity to deliver something, well, more calmly, because it will only be artillery fire, mortar fire or something from there for even small arms. they won’t fly there, so they will spread, well, they will try, what is their goal, why are they doing it, well, it is unlikely that they will try to surround or capture kharkiv, directly, because they perfectly understand that it is impossible to do it with such a number of people, well, forces and means, but to move as close as possible to him, they will try, for what, in order for it to be the aiming range of the artillery artillery, 20 there are 30. not to mention the cloves and all other artillery there, so that it is possible to bombard the city not only with already planning bombs and

missiles, but directly with shells, this will significantly complicate the situation directly in the city, so it is necessary to keep the defense there as much as possible and not let them get closer to kharkov. mr. major, look, and deploy, they can, so to speak , strengthen one or another additional, for example, attack vectors, if... we are talking about the north of kharkiv region in the direction of sumy region, or they can even more easily just open another the section of the front is not far from sumy. yes, of course, what they will open near sumy, they want to turn all areas of the big city of sumy into the big city of kharkiv. to expand the area, well , it can be theoretically assumed that they want to stretch our area very, very much line of defense, because sumy is 560 km long, the border with the russian federation, well, they may not have enough of that number, er... there are about 30,000 soldiers concentrated, and how they, well, i don’t know, they want all over

line, even to kharkiv oblast, it can already reach a thousand kilometers, no, i think that why should they do it, they need to advance, they want to create a gray zone from large cities, this is a sanitary zone, as their minister of foreign affairs said affairs of lavrov, and there is more than a hundred kilometers from the border with the russian federation, this sanitary zone. sumy and kharkiv are also affected, to begin with, it is necessary to make it as difficult as possible to stay in this city, and i think that they will do this, they will fire at kharkiv, if they move, it is no longer near the border there, they should go a little deeper closer to kharkiv fortifications should be built, as our military-political leadership, the heads of the relevant civil-military administrations of the districts, shhysevichi, well, what, where, where... of that territory, those communities, through which this line of defense should pass, if it

built, then these lines will hardly be able to advance, well, if it is built correctly, as it should be, the first, second, third line, they are interconnected, well, there is a lot to be done in order to it wasn't just that a trench was dug there, it's not a fortification, it's a trench, but explain in simple terms what a normal, adequate line of defense should be, you don't even want to mention the so-called line of harshness. well, here is the thing, so to speak, according to the standards of state admissions companies or commissions. and why don't you want to mention lina surovykin, it was built from the point of view of military engineering, quite competently, so let's be fair, as they say, if we built it the way the russians built it, it would be very good, that it has, what is meant, it has to be places for artillery, it has to be a life capsule, forced shelling, where people can hide ... they are so armored, it has to be bunkers, two, preferably three stories, so that on

the lower floors it was possible to store something, well shells, ammunition, medicine, everything, food, everything that is necessary to hold the defense for a long time, so that they are almost, well, almost invulnerable to fire from the enemy, it must be built between the first and second, between the second, third, and especially after the third, the so-called rickety roads, along which, well , you can... simply lay a dirt road , a tractor can drive through there, so that you can move quickly in any direction, well, in the event that somewhere on some area, they sent the enemy to intensify their attacks. actions, it has to be, well, of course, they must be connected by walking paths between themselves, the first with the second, the second with the third, and there must necessarily be a communication system, wire communication, because it is not, well, it cannot be shut it up guys, come on, the connection is invulnerable to, well, it can only be broken by the cable, well, there should be several lines

of the so-called polovka, they should be stretched so that there is a constant constant connection between the units, and of course these.. . so-called, i.e. fire positions, basic such fire positions, well, as you know, you can to compare with a fortress, like towers on a fortress, so a wall and a tower, so far this is a tower on a fortress, that is, the logic is approximately the same, its defensive structures, and if it is built like that, then it is quite difficult to break through, especially if it is mined between in front of the first line and you can mine between the first and the second, but here you have to be very careful and... there must be a map of the minefield so that people do not expose themselves to danger, those who hold the defense, we are not talking about the russians and not about our armed forces, we say in general, are written down, there are military statutes, there are textbooks for actions in defense, actions in offensive, well, they change there, but the construction of fortifications, it is almost, you know,

from the time of the first, maybe even from the time of napoleon, it has not completely changed, the essence has not changed. the logic remained the same, it has several lines, they must be connected, positions for artillery, positions where you can hide forcibly and so on, that is , it must be built like this, and when there are talks about digging a ditch, well, this is not a fortification, this is a channel. see if to talk about a plan for adequate countermeasures, we understand that if the russians are entrenched there, well, their key task, as you noted, is access to certain artillery fire positions, and that is huge... a threat to sumy, to kharkiv and not only, and they want to gain a foothold, accordingly, we are aware that they need to be knocked out of there, the relevant battles are ongoing , how problematic is the use of certain additional forces, so to speak, yes, because we cannot expose our reserves either, well first of all, we have already deployed reserves there, about that our military leadership said, secondly,

here is such sad news from mr. budanov, well, maybe he said it on purpose, or it was a wrong translation. there was, or a wrong example, that we have already used almost all the reserves, although on the other hand we know that no less than 10 newest brigades are being prepared, they are undergoing combat coordination, that is , how many reserves do we have, well, that is for sure a military secret, we can say enough, not enough, a lot, a lot, but this is not about anything, well anyway, we cannot use other, other words here, the number we we won't be able to say for sure, so let's hope that we have enough to hold the defense, and most importantly, that... the better the fortifications, the less people are needed to hold the defense, this is also almost obvious. see if there is a feeling that the enemy can make this also one of the most important offensive directions. yes, we understand the situation in donetsk region, the situation is very difficult, and rather it looked like this, that the enemy will make efforts to advance in a general way in the direction of donetsk. and here we see that

they could enter the kharkiv region from the north, and accordingly, are you with the enemy? there is enough, so to speak, resources, manpower, equipment to hold several directions at once, well enough, of course, in general, offensive actions are not carried out in one city, even when we were preparing our offensive actions, we were advised by our partners that to attack in one city is wrong, well, this is also written in the textbooks, you need to have two, three, four in the direction of the attack, and well, some main one, maybe two main ones, some distracting, well, that too, this is a common tactic, it is so well known . they will be able to, well, along the entire front line, the russians will not be able to attack actively. what will happen in kharkiv oblast and sumy oblast? well , judging by the fact that they used a certain number of people there, well, forces and means, then for sure there for now, well, we shouldn’t expect some kind of the most powerful where, there is less than in the kupinsky direction, well, for example, well, there in kupinsky, we counted , that there were

more than 100 thousand there, the kupinsky-limansk direction, that's where they are storming, efforts go to the oskila river, kupinsky junctions and so on, there are less here in two directions than in one kupinsky direction, but how can you expect that there will be a major impact there? the main blow there can happen if they start moving troops, and they do it mainly by rail, and they, well , they have learned to do it all quite quickly, so if they start transporting them there, we may see right away, already send equipment, then it can be expected to be the direction of the main shock or one. from the main hits, and for now it will be like this advancing with an attempt to turn sumy and kharkiv into a gray zone, you know, it seems to me from a military logic, if... what happened that these cities are located not far from the russian, russian border, understanding that to capture them completely or surround them, a very large amount of forces

and means is needed, then the russians, well, it is unlikely that they would start doing it, considering how many people they have already put in, how many troops they have concentrated in the eastern direction, but to try to turn these cities into a gray zone into a dangerous one for living it is quite possible, this will also affect our and the armed forces and generally our emotional state and everything, well... we understand this perfectly, so from military logic, well, there is no need to attack, but i would be on the spot, you have to put yourself in the place of the enemy in order to better understand his actions, in any case, i would not attack sumy and kharkiv regions, i would try to get as close as possible and start shelling with artillery, well , in order to inflict maximum damage, and the main blows are, after all, the south and the east, as a whole it is possible that it will be zaporizhia, we do not know for sure here, they are constantly moving troops along the front line, trying in this way... to confuse us, where exactly the main strike or main strikes will be, for now, well, in those places where they are already climbing, they will definitely loosen up there, they won’t loosen up yet, it is unlikely that they will do it, other, other places,

especially our northern borders, most likely it will just be an attempt to create a humanitarian catastrophe in big cities, sumakhya and kharkiv, they will succeed, whether it is not, well, it depends on our fortifications, it depends from our number of military weapons, which we can send there in order to hold the defense, and of course from the speed of supplying us with weapons. from our partners, and it would also be very nice to return or raise the issue of anti-exploitation defenses again, as if it has started to move in the right direction, because any fortification from fap 1500 or fap 300, well, it will not last, artillery can be hidden there, even mlrs there, it can save life capsules there, and if it hits a ton of explosives, a bomb, well, you can't do anything here, there are no such... you can't, it's already some kind of bunker. mr. major, look, you just mentioned the south, so we understand that there is the direction of ughledar, marinka plus ughledar, and there is also robotino, where you now see

the prospect, so to speak, of the russians concentrating their troops, to what extent they would need to increase personnel, although you see, in the south they also built a blockade and , so to speak, set up logistics, yes, because crimean logistics will continue to work, well, about maryanka and... yes, of course, they are trying, well, they can’t take ughledar head on, they have already tried it, it ended badly for them, so they can try to enter ughledar from the other side through maryanka from the north , it is quite possible to assume that before robotino, yes, the max direction, well , zaporizhia can even be called differently, there is construction debris, where this city was, everything that could be destroyed has already been destroyed, there is constant shelling, they try in this way to try to even out front line in order to move us as far as possible from takmak, because takmak is a railway hub, and the closer we are to it, the easier it is for us to fire at it and disrupt one of the very important

logistical routes, that is odnovy, takmak, militopol dzhankoy, to the crimea, to the kherson grouping of the dnieper, russian, this was one of the two logistical routes, the city of kerch and this railway, well, they built a third one along the azov coast, so it's a little easier for them. everything has become, but they long for us why are they aligning the people of the front line, that they like a straight line, no, because how can we further push back our ability to destroy, well , attack the railway, everything that can move along it, so what will be the direction, well, robot, but they will definitely continue to advance, there they have greatly strengthened, strengthened the offensive action of the vorini, i think they will not climb any further, this is enough for them at this stage, and about maryanka and the coal-fired man, well... well, here, well, there is such a thing as avdiivka, there is the bakhmutsky avdiivskyi direction, bakhmut direction, liman direction, kupinsky direction direction, well, you know, to the question of where they are, who

knows where they are, who knows, those who record the movement of the movement of personnel, equipment, the creation of additional operational squads, and so on and so on should know, we understand that this is should be recorded by appropriately trained people. which work with satellites and work at the tactical level, that’s how it’s fixed, it’s well, well, it’s not possible yet, well, they have all the directions approximately, well, the volodyar direction there is up to 130 thousand, more than 100 thousand, let’s say that people, and the kupin direction direction, father, two directions, since a year ago , a large number of armies , several armies, were grouped there, and that is where the largest concentration, of all the cities, they... they also moved troops to the kherson direction, they moved troops there, landing troops, and to the bakhmud direction , and in the avdiyiv direction, in the maryan direction, well, of course, i think that this 18th division...

it was most likely from the kupin direction, well, that’s not a fact, i can’t say for sure, well, judging by logic, that's how it is, starting here, let's do it like this, starting from kupensk to ugledar and returning to the west to, well, to crimea in the big year of dozhinka, these are all cities where they can take offensive actions, and they do them there . there is no super powerful group in any one place yet, their logistics work there very good, because behind. the russian federation and or the lpr, the dpr, it's easier for them to get a ride. the logistics are worse in the south, that is, in the volidarsky direction, and in the robotynsky direction, they have the worst logistics there, the longest logistics. therefore , expect that there will be strong offensive forces actions, hardly, because during offensive actions it is not necessary to simply deliver, deliver quickly and constantly replenish ammunition, install fuel, lubricant, food, medicine, everything that is

necessary, it is easier for them to do it. in the sumy, kharkiv, kupina, bahamud, avdiiv, and maryan directions, it is the easiest there, so judging by the grouping so far in the sumy region and in the kharkiv region, it can be considered that there will simply be efforts to advance, and not something more powerful, but from kupinsk to the carbon fiber, there will be all of them directions they can do there there everything in them they have everything for this, where exactly, well, well, from where, well, they, i think, they themselves have not decided yet. that's exactly how the russian seems to me, thank you very much, mr. major, for this extremely important and interesting conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that the retired major of the national guard oleksiy hetman, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, worked on espress. thank you. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will keep you informed about everything the most important events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air.
