not in the first days of a full-scale war in mariupol either. the boy's mother said that life in the city was unbearable and the situation worsened by the hour. the family hid in the basement from the bombings, but shelling was far from the only problem for the residents of mariupol. there was no internet, electricity, water, we even drank water technically, from a technical well. then the whole family was poisoned. could not drink or eat, to be honest, it was very difficult for us, all the shops were looted, there was no lift, we just sat and wanted to eat, despite all the horrors the most 15-year-old serhiy samoilov was bothered by the lack of internet, that's why the boy wanted to leave mariupol, he was very fond of computers, programs, studied, tried to develop them, created servers, that's all. that's why he left home, because

there was no communication or internet at home. of course, there were also problems with water and food. he was going to go in the direction of pokrovsk. serhiy planned to go to his mother's acquaintance in pokrovsk, this is also the donetsk region, about 200 km from mariupol, but the boy's family did not dare to leave home, so serhii went alone. it happened on the evening of march 6. my grandmother and i didn't let him go, we shot a lot around, and to be honest, we didn't have anything to eat or drink then, it was very scary, he took a backpack with him, there was a computer, he dressed the way young people dress, i thought that he was walking around the house and would come back, and serhiyko had already left the house, and when he had already left, i already understood that my grandmother and i had slept, we could not keep him, for now only one thing is known, to the cover. serhiy never made it,

the boy did not return home either, and no one knows where he is now. serhiy's mother still lives in mariupol, but does not lose hope of finding her son. meanwhile, serhiy's father, who has been living separately for a long time and is now in the territory controlled by ukraine, is doing everything possible to find the child. look carefully at the boy's photo. if anyone knows where serhiy samoilov might be, don't delay. type. from any mobile operator, the short number of the magnolia children's search service is 11630. calls to hotline is free. if suddenly there is no connection, write to the chat-bot of the child tracing service in telegram. any information is important. we have created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time. just go to the site and. let us know, and

retired british army colonel, renowned military expert glen grant. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel, god save the kin. glory as a hero. god save the king. thank you. an extremely important speech, the london speech of general ambassador valery zaluzhny. so we understand that he outlined a strategic perspective and very clearly indicated what things we should change and what we should prepare for in the west. he called the russian aggression against ukraine in the current phase a war of transition. i would ask now. you to analyze the most important messages that general zaluzhny gave and how they were read in the west, in particular in london. it is important that people understand that this speech was of great importance because it was delivered at the royal

joint institute for defense studies, which is the british government's defense think tank. this institute plays a similar role in great britain as. for the american government and the pentagon. the speech was important and the hall was completely filled. numerous high-ranking officials from the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of defense, since such speeches are quite rare. therefore, since this was his first such speech and since it took place immediately after his arrival, what he said will be received with great attention. what did he say? first of all, he...outlined the challenges of war for this time, then he touched on the theme of transition, emphasizing that although the current war is similar in many ways to world war ii and world war i, modern tools such as drones and electronic warfare is changing the way

we wage war, how we directly fight on the battlefield. the essence of war doesn't change, people still die and will die and there will always be... a bloody battle between opposing sides, but the overall structure of how war will be fought is changing. now the significance of this is going to be whether people believe it, that's the first thing, whether people actually believe it, even though the former head of the defense department is saying this, there are many people in the west who still think that the way the west is going now military actions, will remain unchanged in the future, in other words, the use of tan'. the use of armored vehicles and other uses of drones, but not like now and not in the same amount as now in ukraine, because people will see that there will be much more aircraft, helicopter gunships and artillery from the west than there can be from

ukraine, it will shift the balance towards how the west would like to fight, but that's a big one too, but if the badass is right, and i suspect he's largely right, maybe... not on 100%, but even if he is only 60% right, it still means that most western militaries are very, very, very behind in their change processes and intelligence. of how they think war should be fought. this has serious implications for military training and personnel selection. for example, great britain does not select it specialists for battalions, while, as in ukraine, each battalion is looking for its own it specialist, its own engineer who will manage drones and other technologies. we don't do that in the uk so what i wonder if after this conference people will go and say: we need to change our thinking, or if they will go and say, no, he does not understand

how strong we are and how we are going to fight. i agree with you, this is an extremely serious challenge, on the other hand, i do not want to draw parallels with events that took place 100 years ago, so we understand that we are talking about the so -called little entente, and we are talking about the polish-bolshevik-ukrainian war, so in 1920 , so we understand that... poland also wanted to get 100 years ago more help, right? unfortunately, many things turn out to be incomplete, unrealized, and accordingly we need to understand whether the story of a powerful, military, central european power will be supported by the appropriate amount of resources, i.e. not only by these or other political statements, but by specific military resources , yes, if we... will wage war until we win, that is, regardless of what happens

in the united states, whether trump comes, whether geris comes, kamela comes, and so on. we must understand different scenarios. war is also about resources, human resources are currently being developed by the personnel department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, right? this is when we talk about mobilization, but a long, long war that would work for all. the depth of the enemy's strategic defense, it requires very clear coordination, it cannot be something that we were promised and not given. there are many points in your theses. i think if the history of the last two years has taught us anything, it's that we won't get everything we're promised. and i am sure that it will continue to be so. promises will often be greater than what is actually done. but let me dwell on one. f-16. everyone is talking about delays with the f-16. these delays arise exclusively from

the ukrainian side, and not from the west. the problem is the lack of pilots who know english to conduct training. there is also a shortage of technical staff and engineers who could acquire the necessary skills. i know from personal experience that there are engineers in the armed forces who did not get into the program. and this is because the personnel system in the defense forces does not work. not only that, that doesn't work, it's broken. despite the efforts of the ministry of defense to change the situation, the general staff itself has not changed its approach to working with personnel, as can be seen from the work of the tsc. let's consider these questions separately. ukraine will not get all the equipment it wants. some will come, but much slower than expected. this means that the general staff has to start planning in advance what exactly will not arrive and why, as well as how we can cope on our own. the biggest problem, in my opinion, is the front, it is on the front line that we lose people, there are retreats.

this is because the units are not properly equipped, there is no doubt about it, they do not have everything they need, i understand that there is a shortage of 155 mm ammunition, no one could have expected that there would be such a great need for them, no one expected this around the world, it's a problem that needs to be solved, but we knew that soldiers... on the front lines need drones, armor plates for body armor, new boots, food, there are hundreds of essential items that they're not getting properly , and yet they still forced fill out a huge amount of casualty papers and the battalions do it, so we waste the time of the officers on the front line who should be spending time with their soldiers fighting, in fact they are spending time filling out papers, the soldiers are spending time chasing... cops, which should have been ready by now, because money had already been spent on digging them.

this is all because the system does not work properly, that is, the system does not foresee these problems. why? everything is very simple: the general staff deals directly entering battles instead of planning for tomorrow. the war should be conducted by the joint staff, not the general staff. this is the job of the joint staff, to be responsible for the battles directly, not the chief of the general staff. who runs around the brigades and helps them, not the general staff, which spends its time on today's concerns. so there is a big problem area here that you talked about at the beginning. all of these...systemic issues need to be addressed if we're going to move forward because we're not going to get all the equipment we need, so how ready are we provide mortar ammunition, mortars, grenades, anti-tank ammunition and anti-aircraft ammunition. not all of these things will come from the international community, we have to find ways

to produce them ourselves, that requires careful planning and organization, and i don't see that coming. as needed we spend too much time thinking about the big f-16 projects, naval drones, and the kerch bridge. and not enough attention is paid to ensuring that each of our soldiers is alive and well equipped to fight tomorrow. this war will not be lost at sea or in flesh, it will be lost on the front lines when soldiers die and resources run out. we simply cannot handle the mass of soldiers. which are coming at us from one place or another. we are doing well so far, but how long we can maintain this level of efficiency depends on whether the soldiers on the front lines are properly trained, equipped and led by the best officers. i took a lot from what you said at the beginning, but we are in a transition

period i suppose you might want to know my thoughts on the recent. sirskyi's article, but we still have a lot to do and most of these tasks require careful planning, and in some cases even legislative changes. planning is very important, but there is also such a concept as the general concept of war, and you are very good that you mentioned colonel-general sirsky, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, and he very clearly warned about the plans of the enemy, about the plans of ukraine, he decided in the public space don't... talk, that's how we are we understand that what you said must be done and even more, but there is also the question of what the enemy is preparing, and the syrian gave very specific numbers, yes 690 thousand offensive contingent, that is, an increase of 150 to 170 00, maybe at least. yes, from a public relations point of view, it was probably

an effective interview, but i, and i'm sure many others, are concerned about the question. what specific actions are behind these words? it is clear that russia will continue to send people to fight as it has done in the past. there is no indication that they have running out of people, or that they have trouble recruiting new ones, since most of the new recruits die, russia doesn't need to pay them. society in russia has not yet fully realized the scale of what is happening. maybe there could be some changes every month, but for now russia is... oriented towards a long war. putin is in talks with china, north korea and iran to secure arms supplies. they're trying to rebuild their own defense industry, but it's not as effective as it could be, because they already are took many of their best people and sent them to the front, effectively ruining some of their plans. but i don't think

it's worth paying much attention to. i think we have to focus. on what is happening on our side. if syrsky says he has a plan, the question is what kind of plan is that, if his plan is to continue fighting the way we have been fighting, a small soviet army against a large soviet army, we will not win, because we cannot cope with the numerical advantage of the enemy. the number of equipment and people is always the same will be on their side, and this requires a change in approaches to warfare. if we... plan to change tactics and strategic approach today or tomorrow, we must teach people to fight differently today. this means that our best officers must be trained in new ways of waging war, the best, and we need to find more officers who can implement these new approaches, because fighting in the same

way, i would call it the syrsky way, just pushing people forward and telling them to stay. to die there is unwinnable tactics no win strategy it will not allow us to win we will continue to lose people killing soldiers on that side ok we kill 1200 a day has it made a difference a year and a half ago we were killing thousands a day it has made a difference answer no, we're still in the same situation, but we ourselves are now weakened because we're losing people, so i go back to planning again: we need to plan and change tactics so that syrsky's words become reality. this will not happen without fundamental changes in system. new doctrine, new about... understandable, yes, senseless bureaucracy, better training of personnel, all this must happen, then we

will be able to win, because we will be better than them. dear colonel grant, look, well, the plans of the enemy plus or minus have become clear and it has become that now the enemy will draw additional numbers of manpower, and will try to achieve very specific results during the end. summer campaign, at the beginning of the spring campaign, the second point will be the destruction of our energy structure, i.e. they have already gone for it, and we understand that until additional air defense systems are put in place, our population will experience additional suffering, the enemy is also counting on this, hoping that there will be an intra-ukrainian scenario, i hope that the situation will be contained, but the enemy is counting on it, and the third point, yes... this is the uncertainty associated with the american election campaign, if we talk about russian plans, as you see them. let me go back to your first point about

that russia is betting that energy problems can divide ukrainian society. this month, when i was in ukraine for several weeks, i did not see any tension on this issue. on the contrary, many people treat the situation with a certain irony and joke about it. i went in. to one bar in kyiv, where the head waiter told everyone, we are on generators, so you can't order fries, but everyone can get a hot dog, and everyone laughed, it shows that ukrainians do not let energy problems affect their spirit, therefore exists a certain level of acceptance that ukrainians will not be defeated by something as insignificant as electricity, be it lanterns or candles or something else, and i did not notice significant ... crashes or negative reactions, but in the spring the mood may change, that is, if it will go through the winter, the winter can be very, very hard and

harsh. of course, the situation may change in winter, but there is an important point: ukrainians are a strong people, hard times did not break britain during the second world war. and i don't see the hard times changing or breaking right now ukraine. i do not feel this and do not hear such conversations from people, on the contrary, i hear stubbornness and determination. people say that they are ukrainians, and such trifles cannot overcome them. this is what i heard in kyiv and sumy. last week, when i was there, maybe the situation in lviv is a little different, but i heard exactly the same conversations in kyiv and sumy. one way or another, let's return to the topic of russia. i don't think russia has a recruitment problem like we imagine. she may have difficulty finding it. people, but large sums of money offered for service, attract tens of thousands of russians, as these sums are too large to be ignored, if

they offer money for a year, two or three jobs, for one month of service, many people are ready to join the army, so i don't think that putin is facing an acute shortage of people yet , but his real problem is leadership and a lack of qualified officers, many of those needed to lead the troops have already died. in the early days of the war, we killed many of their generals and key commanders. now putin has to rake it up, replace them with new people, look for new commanders for battalions and other units. and i suspect that many of these new battalion commanders are not capable of effectively commanding their units, and are there simply because they are someone's friend, not because they have experience or skills. such a problem is facing putin. but i think with russia you should always be careful about possible surprises. as i mentioned before, they are not predictable, they came

through kharkiv, we did not expect, no one seems to have expected this, grast, and that they are going to do next, they will do something unpredictable again, this is russia, can the war escalate again because of belarus, or they will decide to attack in another place, who knows, but they will... they will try something new. the main problem is that russia continues to build up its resources and exhaust us step by step. they have more resources than we do. if they decide to shift their forces elsewhere, we will be able to stop them, but every time we stop them, it also hinders us develop counterattacks and train our battalions and brigades in new methods. so we risk remaining the same as we were in... 2014 to 2022, just a defensive army in the trenches instead of being an offensively capable army,

and that's very dangerous. thank you very much, dear colonel gran, for this extremely important conversation on the espresso channel. i want to remind our tv viewers that retired british army colonel glen grant, a well-known military expert, god save the kin, glory to ukraine, was working for them now. glory to ukraine and god, protect the king, may he live long, may he live long. its discounts represent the only discounts on eurofast softcaps 10% in travel pharmacies for you and savings. the book women at war is a joint project of the espresso tv channel and duhi litera publishing house. the book is based on the reports of the presenter of the espresso tv channel khrystyna parubiy. 20 stories, 20 fates, 20 women who defended the country. the book is dedicated to women who
