grant. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel, god save the king. glory to the heroes, god, save the king. thank you. an extremely important speech, the london speech of the ambassador-general, valery zaluzhny. so we understand that he outlined the strategic perspective and very clearly indicated what things we should change and what we should prepare for in the event, he said. russian aggression against ukraine in the current phase of the transitional war period, i would like to ask you now 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 a think tank. of the british government on

defence. this institute plays a similar role in great britain as the rent corporation 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 were present, as such speeches are quite rare. therefore, since it was his first such speech and since it took place immediately after his arrival. what he said would be received with great attention. what did he say? above all, he outlined the challenges of war at that time. then he touched on the topic of the transition period, emphasizing that, although the current war is similar in many ways to the second world war and the first world war, modern tools such as drones and electronic warfare are changing the way we wage war, how we directly fight on the ground. the essence of war does not 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 will be whether people believe it, that's the first thing, whether people actually believe it, even though the former head of the defense department says that there are a lot of people in the west who still think that the west is now leading the military actions will remain the same in the future, in other words, the use of tanks, 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 a lot more aviation from the west , combat helicopters and artillery, than can be from the side of ukraine. this will change the balance towards how the west would like to fight. but and that's a big but,

if the lunatic is right, and i suspect he's largely right, maybe not 100%, but even if he's only 60% right, it still... it means that most western militaries are very, very, very behind in their change processes and understanding of how they think war should be fought, with 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 it specialist, its engineer who will manage drones and other technologies. we... don't do that in the uk, and i'm wondering if it's this or after this conference, people will go and say, we need to change our thinking, or 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 where... about the polish-bolshevik-ukrainian war , yes in 1920, so we understand that poland also wanted to receive more aid then 100 years ago, so unfortunately, a lot 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 fight the war until we win, that is, regardless of what happens in the united states, whether trump comes, whether haris comes, kamela comes and so on. we

have to understand different scenarios. war is also about resources, human resources now are processed by the personnel department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. yes, this is when we talk about mobilization, but a long, long war that would work to the depth of the strategic defense of the enemy, it requires very clear coordination, it cannot be something that we were promised and not given. you make a lot of points, 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, i'm sure that will continue to be the case. promises will often be greater than what is actually done, but let me to stop at one point: the 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 that there is a lack

of pilots who know english to conduct training, and there is also a lack of technical staff and engineers who can learn the necessary skills. i know from my own experience that in the...armed forces there are engineers who do not get into the program and that is because the personnel system in the defense forces is not working, not only is it not working, it is broken despite the best efforts of the ministry of defense to change the situation, the general staff itself has not changed its approach to work with personnel, this is evident 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 ahead exactly what won't arrive and why, and how we can manage 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 happens because that 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... no one in the world expected this , this is a problem that needs to be solved, but we knew that soldiers on the front lines needed drones, armor plates for body armor, new boots, food, there are hundreds of essential items that they are not getting properly and yet they still have to fill a huge papers about losses, and battalions do, so we waste the time of front-line officers who should be spending time with their own. as soldiers fighting, they actually spend time filling out papers, soldiers spend time digging trenches that should have been ready, because money was already spent digging them, this is all because the system does not work properly, that is, the system does not provide

these problems, why? everything is very simple: the general staff deals directly with the introduction of battles, instead of planning for tomorrow. must wage war united. 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, who spends. during today's worries. so there's a big problem area here that you talked about at the beginning. all of these systemic issues need to be addressed if we want to move forward because we won't get all the equipment we need. so how ready are we to provide mortar ammunition, mortars, grenades, anti-tank ammunition and ammunition for air defense. not all of these things will come from the international community. we have to find ways. making them yourself requires a lot of planning and organization, and i can't

see it happening the way it should. we spend too much time thinking about big f-16 projects, naval drones, attacks on the kerch bridge, and not enough attention to ensuring that every soldier is alive and properly equipped to fight tomorrow. there will be this war not lost at sea or in flesh, it will be lost on the...front lines when soldiers die and resources run out. we simply cannot deal with the mass of soldiers 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 you'll want to hear my thoughts on

syrsky's recent article, but we still have a lot to do, and most of these tasks require careful planning, and in some cases even legislative change. planning is very important, but there is also such a thing as the general concept of war. yes, and you are very good that you mentioned colonel general of the syrian armed forces. forces of ukraine and he very clearly warned about the plans of the enemy, he decided not to talk about the plans of ukraine in public, so we understand that what you are talking about must be done they said, and even more, but there is still the question of what the crowd is preparing, and syrsky gave very specific numbers, for example, 690 thousand offensive contingent, that is, an increase of 150 to 170 thousand, perhaps at least so from the point of view of communication. with the public, it was probably an effective interview, but i, and i'm sure many others, are concerned about

the specific actions behind those words, it's clear that russia will continue to send people to fight as it has done in the past, there is no signs that they are running out of people or that they are in trouble with the recruitment of new ones, since most of the new recruits die, russia does not need to pay them, the society in russia has not yet realized. the full extent of what is happening. perhaps there may be some changes every month, but for now russia is focused on a long war. putin is in talks with china, north korea and iran to secure arms supplies. they are trying to rebuild their own defense industry, but it is not as effective as it could be because they have already taken many of their best people and sent them to the front, which actually destroyed some of them. plans, but i don't think we should pay too much attention to it, i

think we should focus on what is happening on our side. if syrsky says he has a plan, the question is what is that plan, we want to lose people, kill soldiers on that side, ok, we kill 1200 a day, has it changed anything, a year and a half ago we were killing thousands a day , it made a difference, the answer is no. we are still in the same situation, but we are ourselves now weakened because we are losing people. so i 'm back to planning again. we need to plan and change tactics so that syrsky's words turn into reality. this will not happen without fundamental changes in the system. new doctrine, new prescribed methods, elimination of meaningless bureaucracy everywhere, better training of personnel, all this must happen, then we will be able to win, because we will. better than them, dear colonel grant, look, well, the plans of the enemy plus or minus

became clear and became clear, so that now the enemy will be pulling in additional manpower and will try to achieve very specific results during the end of the summer campaign, at the beginning of the spring campaign, the second point will be the destruction of our power structure, that is , they have already gone for it and we ... understand that while they will be put additional air defense systems, 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 it will be possible to contain the situation, but the enemy is counting on it. well, and the third point, yes, this is not a certainty related to the american election campaign. if we talk about the russian plans, how do you see them? let me return to your first thesis that russia is betting that energy issues can divide

ukrainian society. this month, when i was in ukraine for several weeks, i did not welcome any tension. on this issue, on the contrary, many people treat the situation with a certain irony and joke about it. i went to one bar in kyiv, where the head waiter told everyone, we're on generators, so you can't order fries, but everyone can get a hot dog, and everyone laughed. this shows that ukrainians do not allow energy problems to affect their spirit. so there is a certain level of acceptance that ukrainians will not be overcome by something like that. something as minor as electricity, whether it's lights or candles or whatever, and i haven't seen any significant complaints or negative reactions. but in the spring the mood can change, that is, if it goes through winter, 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... the time of the second world war, and i do not see that hard times will change or break ukraine now. 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 was a little another, but i heard exactly such 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, as we imagine, it may have difficulty finding people, but the large sums of money offered for service attract tens of thousands of russians because the sums are too large to ignore, 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, however his real problem is in leadership and lack of qualified officers, many of those needed to lead the troops have already died. in the first 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, to look for new commanders for battalions and other units. and i suspect that many of these new battalion commanders are not capable of effectively running their units, and they 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 didn't expect it, nobody seems to have expected it. okay, and what are

they going to do next? they will do something again unpredictable. this is russia. is it possible? the war will escalate again because of belarus, whether they will decide to attack elsewhere, who knows, but they will 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 us, if they decide to shift their forces elsewhere we will be able to stop them, but every time we stop them it also prevents us from developing counter attacks. and train our battalions and brigades in new methods, so we risk remaining the same as we were from 2014 to 2022, just a defensive army in the trenches, instead of to be an army capable of offensive actions, and that is very dangerous. thank you very much, dear colonel gran, for this extremely important

agreed in hearing trump and the corresponding changes, trump's plus-minus concept is clear, so he wants to force in one way or another , if not russia, then ukraine, he will also need a result. roman petrovich, how do you rate now? the current, well, i won't say historical, but extremely important negotiating point. the first thing to note in the story surrounding president coleba's trip to goanjo is this the proper place and form and content, because here only from the fragments of the first, second and third it is possible to understand that somewhere no more than 10, well, at most 15% of what... was happening, well, you don't have to be there, got into the information field too prepared to understand that for the sake of even a three-hour conversation with the minister, it is not necessary to go to gondjova. first of all, what

kind of city is this? this is a city where diplomats and officials of both the united states of america and great britain are present at one of the highest levels. first, i do not mean this by accident the first this is about the fact that if there was a bilateral meeting, it would take place in beijing, which means that meetings are taking place far beyond the borders of the bilateral dialogue. now let's move on to what can be done for three days, three days, because you can hold, let's say, three meetings and then go back and what can you count on? well, first of all, if the calculation was for a piece of candy. sweet for the result, then mr. kuleba would not go there, but the head of the fair office would go there, and everyone is writing about it now, everyone is talking about it, and it is true,

that is, it is that. technological work which performed there. now, what is the subject of this work and why it takes three days and such a multi-echeloned, multi-layered cake. let's pay attention to what has been happening in the last two weeks, in order to realize how much it has affected ukrainian-chinese, ukrainian-american, ukrainian-british, ukrainian-european relations, because here we have to look for. and yes, the first thing, you remember, and we all remember, orban's journey, moscow, beijing, washington, kyiv, moscow, beijing, washington, and as a result of the decision of the ukrainian government to stop the transit of oil, friendship with the oil pipeline, because as it turned out, orbán did not just take a ride, but renewed

the contracts related to supply to russia of components and components of rocket and space weapons, which hungary and the enterprise hungary purchased in the netherlands, france, germany and great britain, and through the third fifth of the firm through china it was sent to russia. the reaction of the ukrainian government to these actions of orban was a trap, simply to stop the oil pipeline of friends. second, the information that president biden has delegated the authority to introduce and control sanctions on in relation to china, issues related to russian aggression against ukraine, the ministry of finance, yelen. this is very interesting information, because it says that these issues are transferred to the technological level.

that is, they are monitored 24 hours a day, this is the second thing, and it is clear that this is caused by the previous information that i said about and the conversations that were held during the nato summit in washington, where it manifested itself quite strangely, strangely, i will say so, for the nato the environment is the same orban. the third thing to pay attention to is how information of the ministry. of foreign affairs of ukraine regarding minister kuleba's trip to china was returned to moscow. pay attention, there the emphasis is made, cut out, copied phrase that ukraine is already ready to sit down at the negotiating table tomorrow. and one more important thing: if china didn't behave, but got caught in the eyes of the scum, it has an extreme need

to save. relations with ukraine, because these are 9 million tons of grain, because these are things related to titanium, supply of titanium sponge, these are things related to rare earth metals, that is, it is a whole set of technologies that relate to bilateral relations, which is why it is even visible from the rhetoric and tone of rhetoric between kyiv. and beijing, but as we see the meeting is in guangzhou, i mentioned again that it is a free economic zone, it is the capital of china's relations with the whole world, and when, as we recall, the meetings were with secretary of state blinkin.
