in terms of firepower on the enemy, sometimes units like this play a key role in ending a battle, which means that we save the lives of our infantrymen and take the lives of the enemy, this is very, very important, so friends, each of you, who reports, who does his job honestly, pays taxes, is involved in the general cause of victory, and it is up to you how this war will end, well , besides the fact that it is not only an economic one. the meaning of all this is simply effectiveness, precisely in military actions, the effectiveness from the point of view of destroying the enemy is huge, simply huge, incomparable to the expenses that are on your unit, well, and i want more, well, we still have literally three minutes there, you know, on friday the fighters, also of the unit sove strike drones, 36th. the marine brigades

showed that near the city of vovchansk they destroyed the engineering equipment of the enemy, and this means that the russians are already trying to build some engineering line of defense there. you see it too, that's what happens, how much they succeed in general, how much are they already trying to purchase, what can you say about this? the enemy can never be underestimated. and it is not worth overestimating the enemy , it is always necessary to evaluate it as adequately as possible, in particular, its strengths, if we talk about the construction of engineering and certification structures, shelters, defense lines, in this the enemy at the current moment, unfortunately, is doing better than the state of ukraine. i think that this is a temporary phenomenon, but the enemy has a very simple position, he has taken a position dig in then they send

stormtroopers there, who are expendable material, until they dig a growth trench there, then the neighbors from left to right will connect with each other and a full-fledged position will not arise, outside the occupied territory of the occupied, they necessarily start building a line of defense, so one way or another, in this case , the enemy is at a sufficiently high level, but also the defense forces, i would say that in certain directions... we and the enemy came out in the preparation of engineering and petation facilities in parity, in full parity, you can say, on others you still need to work, work, work. to what extent this parity can be said about your direction, literally 3 minutes, oh, not three, 3 seconds, i will tell you this way that not everything was far at the time of the start of hostilities in the kharkiv region, but... the shortcomings

that were allowed, have already been sectorally corrected, and i sincerely expect that those officials who did not take appropriate measures will not only bear the stipulated responsibility, because we are talking about life and health of servicemen, and that comprehensive measures will be taken that will provide an opportunity to check all defense lines in the future, thank you mr. yuriy, defense, we have to finish, thank you, it was yuriy fedorenko. the commander of the attack drone battalion, and we will meet with you in a week. see this week in the collaborators program. why was the ukrainian producer bardash suspected? i came here, roughly speaking, with a backpack. yes, i have been to moscow before. but how the son of the ex-mayor of odesa owns the temporarily occupied. territories our

a russian person, she is always used to struggle with any difficulties. greetings, i'm olena kononenko and this is a collaborator program about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and purses , went to serve the rashi occupiers. today there will be many new faces of treason, who are asking to be slandered throughout ukraine. but let's start with the well-known seller, music producer yuriy bardash. after the full-scale invasion, he fled the country, first hiding in georgia. pages in his social networks compared ukraine with nazi germany, and himself called a russian. after that, bardash allegedly began to receive threats from the georgian legion, so the traitor decided to get away while he was safe in russia. i came here, roughly speaking, with a backpack. yes, i have been to moscow before, but not with the awareness that i am here forever. now bardash is sitting in the pig capital. runs a telegram channel where he calls for

the capture of kharkiv and kyiv, believes that the descendants of russia will study how a quasi-great power ruled the history of the whole world, but the glimpses of ukrainian patriotism that appeared in him a few years ago, he calls by chance the phrase "putin took ours." this is a phrase that reassured ukrainians. they wanted me to tell them. on january 23, 2024, yurii bardash received a passport with a chicken. and already on may 22, the security service of ukraine informed the former well-known ukrainian producer of suspicion under four articles. in particular, for justifying the war and calling for changes to the borders of the territory of ukraine. to answer. in response, bardash announced that he was looking for those involved in this decision. considering his actions and publications in telegram, it can be assumed that the former producer is still not released the mushrooms. well, he will have to undergo a rehabilitation course in a ukrainian colony. and this collaborator has not

received the suspicion yet, but is diligently working on it. worthy films with a patriotic upbringing, mood, which show exactly the role of russia, that it is a great country. meet yevhen ivanovich maksymov, born in 1961. in peaceful life, he was the organizer of the long-term kino kimeria amateur film festival. he also became famous for destroying the kherson art cultural center and helping to transfer the premises of the former cinema, in which the center was placed under the control of vladyslav mangru, the ex-chairman of the kherson regional council, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of an activist. kateryna hantsyuk, before that maksimov was the director of the regional communal enterprise cinema and video rental. when the boot of the occupier set foot in kherson, maksymov decided to change his ukrainian passport to a russian one and start a new chapter of his life, treacherous and nickchen. but first it was done by shortmap. it became

known about his betrayal when the occupiers fled from kherson to the left bank of the dnieper. maksimov ran along with them, at the same time he did not forget to take the equipment from the jubilee cinema. osiv simov together with the equipment in nova kakhovka and began to take care of the russia cinema, which was previously called ukraine. this is a part of his interview, where the traitor tells that the so -called colleagues from the temporarily occupied crimea helped install the stolen equipment in the local cinema. thanks to my colleagues from crimea, many thanks from the feodosia cinema of crimea, who volunteered to help us, literally for the past few days i have been bringing technicians and engineers from there. but not for long maksym... took care of film issues, got promoted. when russia held illegal elections in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, this traitor received a mandate as a deputy of the fake kherson regional duma from putin's united russia party. thanks to the personal initiative of the secretary of the united

russia party and the senator of the kherson region, two beautiful autonomous clubs came to the kherson region. this progenitor can often be seen in occupied henichem. at backward film festivals that he organizes in honor of the occupiers and russian figures. within of the united russia party and children's sports project, we presented a film about a beautiful athlete for our schoolchildren. we, in turn , want to see maksimov as the hero of another documentary film, about how traitors end up on the dock, and then behind bars. he is wanted in ukraine, he serves faithfully in the swamps. regime of killers. our russian people are always used to fighting any difficulties, and the more these difficulties, the more the function of patriotism is included. this is volodymyr ruslanovych bodelan, born in 1975, from odessa. he is the son of the former mayor of odesa, ruslan

bodalan. in 1997 , he graduated from odesa state polytechnic university with a specialist qualification in engineering mechanics. in 2010, he graduated from st. petersburg. academy of management and economics, was a member of the maritime party and the party of regions. in 2002 and 2010, he was elected a deputy of the odesa city council. in 2012 and 2014, he took part in parliamentary elections, but never became a people's deputy. since december 2010 , he held the position of head of the main territorial department of the state emergency service in odesa region and the events of may 2 ended his career in this position. law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case. proceedings on bodalan. the investigation believes that it was the firemen's inaction that caused the mass death of people in the odessa building of prospilok. being near the scene of the fire, bodelan ordered his subordinates not to send rescue units there. the first fire engines arrived at the building only 40 minutes after

the fire started. i will in no way dare and do not intend to cast a shadow on the results of the expert commission, but what for by all parameters, i saw directly in... 17 information appeared that he received russian citizenship and works in crimea, temporarily occupied by russia, where he holds the position of head of the so-called crimean branch of the federal cousin institution, the center for strategic studies of civil protection of the ministry of emergency situations, rf. when russia unleashed a full-scale war, volodymyr began to appear in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. hooray, as it turned out, he was appointed deputy of the fake governor. kherson region and head of the representative office of the kherson region in moscow. i can only be proud of this

patriotism. we thank russia for accepting us, and this is the first time for us. and i hope that we will never let russia down in this. this traitor doesn't want to let his bloody idol down, so he adjusts the work of russian state institutions, russifies the temporarily occupied territories and believes that erefia is a great power, he is a russian man. dedicated to serving her. bodeland kisses his passport with a chicken and blows dust off it, and calls ukraine an enemy territory that russia is allegedly forced to tolerate. we create history, we stand on the side of truth. when the truth is behind us, nothing scares us. vladimir, you better not leave russia, because they will catch you like a rat and put you in prison for a long time. and pray that russia will need your services for at least some time, because you know what they do with them. who is no longer needed. it was the program collaborators and i, olena

konunenko. if you want to talk about the kremlin progenitors, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook. together we will send all the traitors in pursuit of the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on espresso tv channel, studio zahid program, we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular, we will talk about high geopolitics, how it will affect the internal ukrainian situation and the situation on the battlefield, we will also talk about the russian- the ukrainian war. today's studio guests are zahid, a retired colonel of the british army, glen grand, and a polish mp sejm of the second third term, historian-publicist myroslav chekha. glen grant, a retired colonel of the british army,

a military expert, will be working on the tv channel now. glory to ukraine, dear, mr. colonel, god save the king. first of all, i would like to ask you to assess the purpose of the russians committing crimes against kharkiv and trying, well, in the end, they opened a new section of the front. we are talking about the north of the kharkiv region, so we understand that they did not have enough strength to... wanted, but they still went for it and we saw, well, just terrible footage, when the russians killed our civilians, hitting a kharkiv supermarket with guided air bombs, what is the purpose of all this? the first thing to realize is that the mall is no longer in the civilian sector, it is now part of the front line. this attack is unlike those where civilians were targeted. how much was actually aimed at the entire system of the front line in the north of kharkiv? and it must

be remembered that the doctrine of the russians is that to consistently succeed, so they will try to weaken the area around kharkiv to be able to break through there. you mentioned that they didn't put enough troops there to break through, and that could be because they don't have enough. or it could be simply because they are trying to gauge the ukrainian reaction. before proceeding further, as there have been reports that there are many more troops behind these initial forces, the figure being 2,000, and if this is true, it could mean very a serious attack on sumy and kharkiv. in this case, we will see more bombing in the same area, aimed at creating space for the advance of russian troops. it is very difficult to determine whether they intend to attack sumy and kharkiv in particular, or namag. do

they hope to find a weak point somewhere in the region of bakhmut, zaporizhzhia or kherson, or are they again focused on a big rush to big cities? it's hard to say at this point, we'll have to wait another month or so before we can clearly determine their intentions. well, we won't to underestimate the situation neither on the front line nor on possible new ones. areas of the front that the russians might want to open, and in particular, now, in particular, a lot of attention is being paid to what is happening in kharkiv oblast and sumy oblast, the north of ukraine, the north-east of ukraine. we understand that in order to start serious offensive actions, in addition to logistics, there must be personnel with the enemy's logistics, well, because these areas are border areas, as if everything is okay, well, it will be okay for the time being, until we receive permission to use high-precision weapons russian mechanized columns, which will be assembled, for example, in the kursk or

belgorod regions, and at the same time , in order to launch this attack on ... sumy region or kharkiv region, the enemy must have a sufficient number of personnel and equipment. how do you currently assess the prospects of this northeastern front? no one, except the russians themselves, knows whether the russians have enough troops or equipment. so don't ask me that question because it all depends on how much resources they want to send. but if we analyze the first one attack in the direction of kharkiv, then they will feel it. lack of equipment and vehicles, but, again, you see, the russians know how to resort to things that we do not expect. sometimes, as we remember from the early stages of the war, they do things they don't even expect, and yet i don't think we should underestimate their ability to continue this offensive now. to date , about 11 countries have declared their readiness to give

the green light to the use of their long-range weapons for shooting. on the territory of russia. we still haven't received the proper consent from of the united states. they still use evasive rhetoric. you need an affirmative: yes, you can do it, so far it hasn't happened. they are trying to emphasize on zelensky, that it is he who should make the decision. but to be honest, they're not exactly upfront about it. so, does ukraine now have enough weapons from other countries to carry out serious attacks on objects located beyond kharkiv'. and the sumy front, i would say so, enough, but certainly not more. i mean, it's not enough for a big offensive, but enough to at least seriously damage the russians and perhaps delay their advance for three weeks, a month or two. therefore, i hope that zelenskyi will make a decision today, at least to use those stormshadow missiles that

they already have, for example, in order to start causing some damage to russia. troops, because otherwise time will be lost, momentum will be lost, and russia will seize the initiative again and start attacking along the front line, and when they attack on the front line, then it is much more difficult to use weapons like the stormshadow to maximum effect, you need to use them when striking troops that are gathering in the rear, like right now, but in any case we understand that the russian command shows a willingness to ... commit crimes, that is demonstrative crime, and we understand that no one will be able to write it off at the level of, i don't know, this or that tactical group or the level of the aviation brigade, the russians gave the order to hit a peaceful supermarket on a civilian object, controlled by three by air bombs, one of them fortunately did not explode, that is, they wanted to kill

civilians in a sufficiently large number, and we understand that this crime ... was very correctly read in many european capitals and we will hope that decisions will be made, yes, well, when we talk about the finalization of certain decisions, in particular, the presence of western instructors on our territory, this will reduce the logistical burden, and at the same time, it will allow us to process or train a large number of our recruits as soon as possible, but there is one more important point: the russians have already announced their criminal intent to... kill or attempt to kill western instructors, and that means this will also be read correctly in western capitals. so, what is the feeling of these new wars and possibly a new stage of the war, connected with the fact that the west has adopted a possibility for itself, readiness to take serious steps. the first thing i thought about was that they

dragged it out for a very long time. in fact, it should have happened a year ago, maybe even a year and a half ago. instead , western ones. capitals tried to use peacetime methods to solve a wartime problem, and now they see that it didn't work. what they tried to do, a bit here, a bit there, just didn't have enough effect to really influence russia to stop the war or allow ukraine to push the invaders back. so the europeans are now in a situation where they have to start helping by being inside the country to reinforce. training and determination of ukrainian troops. we are slowly but surely moving towards the point where european troops will be forced to take part in hostilities. in i have no doubt about it. at some point it will happen because the alternative is, unless it's finding massive amounts of ammunition, massive amounts of equipment, massive amounts of everything

you need, be it food, mortars, helmets, clothing, which is less likely in my view, and russia will continue to move forward step by step until we reach the stage where the european capital will say enough is enough, we are ready to join you and fight against russia, it may take... a year, it may be two, but we are steadily moving in this direction. speaking about the possible participation of the ground forces of our western allies, perhaps speaking about the aviation of our western allies, what concept could this entail. we understand, yes, in order not to raise the degree of escalation, it would be necessary to act quickly and quite harshly. this will require the use of aviation. on the other hand, we also realize that the russian... the enemy is ready to use nuclear weapons, it was not for nothing that they prepared their so-called strategic doctrine regarding the use of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, and

accordingly, the pace, how quickly it would be done when we are talking about our western partners, and the quantity and quality and nomenclature of the weapons that could be used, we understand that it is not for nothing that putin was meeting with lukashenka. in belarus, yes, and he took the minister of defense with him, and in principle, i think, they clearly talked about very specific scenarios of the military plan, and we understand that it is not only about ukraine, but perhaps about suvalki, and perhaps about a certain threat to continental europe. regarding the nuclear scenario, the fact is that if russia cannot win a conventional conventional war, then nuclear weapons will not change anything in particular, that is, none. use nukes if you don't have conventional powers to back up their use. this will not help them at all. in fact, the use of nuclear weapons would very

quickly bring down upon russia the wrath of the rest of the western world. this is why it is foolish to even consider such a possibility. as for the meetings in belarus, in fact they mean little, because belarus still does not have a full-fledged army. if if we talk about the quality of fighters, then at most there are former night guards... yes, they will have a few good soldiers, but this is nothing compared to the number of soldiers that western countries, in particular poland, lithuania, not to mention the troops, behind them in sweden and finland. belarus is not a serious player in this game, so if they really think about crossing the suval corridor, they will be in trouble because it is an extremely difficult piece of land, i have written and said about it many times, everything is very... simple, if belarus dares to do this, it will automatically involve itself in the war, and what then, especially considering the geographical location of belarus, which is surrounded by both

nato and ukraine. to get out of the suval corridor, the russians will need every soldier there. the american brigade will simply come in from behind, close the port and seize all means of air defense. so, russia doesn't have enough troops to raise rates now. european forces will most likely have to enter ukraine, but i don't think that will happen in the near future year or in the near future. i think macron has made it clear that if we see the possibility of another attack on kyiv again, or if they capture odesa, then the french troops will start to do something, but until then such a prospect is somewhere on the horizon, and i personally do not think we will see european forces are in action, but they are already beginning to understand that they may have to intervene. i would like to ask you what the current , modern, modern fortifications should be,

so we understand that we have thousands of kilometers of the front, there are areas that are sharper, there are areas that are calmer, relatively speaking, but in any case, we understand that there must be some general logic to what are called military fortifications. so, how do you think it should look and... how long should it take to build it, yes, because we understand that they built the surovykin line quite quickly, on the other hand, we also understand whether it is possible to build the maginot line on this or that direction, but the enemy can always bypass this or that hadrian's wall in another direction, and so on. the most important thing about fortifications is not what they should just be long straight lines, and the fact that they should be concentrated at key points where the enemy... is likely to want to break through at key defensive points, they should be placed by the operational command, not by the local builders, not by the decision of the mayor or whatever who else, but by the decision

of the commander defending that area, he must ensure that these defenses are built where they are needed, in the form in which they are needed, in the direction in which they are needed, and in such a way that to them it was impossible to bypass. if the fortifications will be built in a straight line, then as soon as the straight line is broken, you will have to move to the next straight line. therefore, at high points and in places difficult for the enemy to reach, much more difficult ones are needed. this could mean actually fortifying some cities, meaning not just using the buildings, but deploying something around the buildings. at present, the development of defense structures takes place, i would say, according to a simple method. in fact, much more thought needs to be given to where build fortifications, where to place anti-tank ditches, as well as anti-tank blocks. but the last thing that needs to be taken into account regarding defense structures is not only the land, but also the human

component. everything you do is to make the terrain difficult, the most important thing is the soldiers who go into that difficult terrain and defend it, you can build as many defenses as you want, but if the soldiers you send there are not properly trained to defend their land, if they are not properly epicated and secured, their positions will be overrun very quickly by the enemy and then you need another ditch, so it's very important that we don't forget... that at the end of the day it's about people, that's right, it's about people, and defenses are a tool to protect these people, there are no people, there is no protection. putin's new war logic, putin's new plan, maybe he is there, maybe he is not, well, but in any case, we saw that the minister of defense of russia, shuigu, was thrown out of office and someone was put in his place, in principle , an economist cybernetics, we understand that there is

a certain... redistribution of influence and possibly a new so-called military logistics of the russian federation, i don't know how it will all look, but the situation is quite serious, because we understand that the russians have not proposed anything new, but the meat assaults, the mechanized convoys, i don't know how much equipment they have, and the new defense minister who has to fix what is called the russian economy, or the russian military economy and russian military logistics, which can be scripts from the side. russians and what should be the counter-response from our side and from our western allies? it is interesting that the comments that appeared after all these changes indicate that we still do not really understand what is happening in russia? analysts consider two explanations: on the one hand, there is the opinion that this is some grandiose plan by putin to prolong the war by appointing an economist to improve the efficiency

of the defense industry. for a potential five- or ten-year conflict against nato. on the other hand, there are those who claim that shoigu was removed because he steals too much. several generals were involved in corruption. so, on the one hand, it's a big war, on the other hand, it's the same war, but putin can't allow so much to be stolen , probably because he wants more money to go to his friends who encroach on defense contracts so that to profit from the war. in both. scenarios, the goal is to keep the money flowing because people are making a lot of money doing it. i don't think that an economist at the ministry of defense will be able to somehow drastically affect the situation. if he was capable of this, we would have heard about it by now. he does not have the skills to change the training system, or the supply system, or to understand how the generals are deceiving him, because you must not forget that all russian generals

lie to the minister, this is ... standard russian practice, no one there tells the truth, this is the country lies, so he will be fed a load of nonsense about how great everything is, which will make it difficult to implement any meaningful change. therefore, i do not predict what will happen in the near future big changes will happen in the future. he can create better relations with iran and north korea to gain more benefits in the future, but that is something else entirely. dear glen. what should we expect in the next month or two, what should we prepare for? not sure what exactly, but somewhat obvious. as the war progressed, russia became increasingly desperate in its attempts to achieve its goals. attacks on the front line are becoming more frequent, deploying more and more old equipment and even using innovative tactics, such as the use of battle buggies and motorcycles for attacks. thus, to the russian front line.
