8:34 pm
hello and welcome to the program i'm fully by t bowl. after nearly 7 months of fighting ukraine has finally begun to regain some of the territory it last to russia. it says its forces are continuing their rapid advance in several areas, including the northern khaki region in the past few days. forcing moscow to pull back its forces. it's raised the question of how far they can go. now in response to those gains, ukraine says russia is attacking its power and water supplies in khaki, official se missile strikes calls blackouts in several areas, including the main city. power was restored in denise pro petrov, donnie esque, and so me by midnight on sunday, but khaki remained in darkness. an estimated 9000000 people were affected,

including in area is controlled by russia. now, despite the days of battlefield setbacks, the kremlin stopped spokesman, insist the war is on track saying the special military operation is underway and will continue until the goals that have been set are achieved. al jazeera hold abdul, hamid has more now from concave. since the beginning of september, the ukrainian army has been carrying out this counter offensive in the north east of the country, taking by surprise everyone, especially when it comes to the speed at which it has been able to recapture territory occupied by the russian army. some 3000 square kilometers, according to the chief of staff here. now the russians on their side as saying that they're actually pulling out and regrouping to concentrate on de dumbass region, further east in ukraine. but it seems that the ukraine had manage to trick
8:36 pm
the russia in the sense that they were talking about it counter offensive in the south of the country and this kind of southern region. and some are saying that the russians had actually pull out some of their troops from this side of the country to be their presence in this him. so region, nevertheless, at this point the ukrainians have managed to reach some strategic down like a piano is you. if they manage to fully control those down, well they're, it's a big blow for the russians. we use those places as logistical hubs and backup for the troops that are based ended on mass region. the question now is, will they be able to hold all this territory and what is russia next step already? russia has shown that this will continue hitting a city's critical infrastructure, was struck plunging car keys and other regions here in the east, in darkness. just yesterday. people here wondering what would be the next move,
8:37 pm
hold up the need for insight story, or russia has acknowledged its losses in ukraine's northern concave region. a russian installed official there says ukrainian forces outnumbered russian troops in the counter offensive retaking sways of land. since early september, ukrainian troops have advanced rapidly areas that took russia. monster seas have been retaken in just days. ukrainian flags are now flying in the cities of is you and co pianist both on railway lines that serve as a supply route for russian troops. ukraine says it has also made gains in the south near carson, but at a slower pace. ah, well let's bring in our guest now innovative mikhail o vanessa key, political commentator, and professor at the national university of keith molina academy in moscow. victor olive h, his a lead expert at the center for actual politics and in oxford,
8:38 pm
samuel romani, associate fellow at the royal united services institute. gentlemen, welcome to your thank you very much for joining us on inside story me, kyla, in living. let me start with you. if i can remarkable advances by the ukrainians. how have they been able to make these breakthroughs so quickly? well, in fact we've been, i mean, at the end of the day we've been preparing for this for a very long time. as you mentioned in the 1st segment in the program, we were expecting an account or advance or a counter attack in the so are clearly that has probably diverted some of the russian forces away from defense around the northeastern part. it is important to note that the people that are actually on the ground liberating are the areas of khaki, almost are actually not regular army soldiers. these are people from the territorial brigades. in other words, these are people that volunteered after the re 24th. they received significant amounts of training in the last 6 months and they're very, very motivated to,
8:39 pm
to liberate, liberate their, the occupied lands of their country. and i think i also want to say that the fact that it has been going very quickly has actually been a surprise not only to those of us that are observing it, it's actually been a surprise to the ukrainian central command. they were expecting this offensive to last until the end of september. well, as we see, it's got a lot quicker than expected. a lot of really motivated people. what's happening in their favor? you think? well there's, there's 2 things. first of all, they've got a lot of support from the local local population. i mean, the local population that you have listed as no desire to be occupied by the russians. and they are obviously greeting the crating forces as liberators. secondly, the ukrainian have a strategy of attack and not a strategy of military action and that has been proven very effective. it's a strategy of decentralization strategy of if you like, network kind of of actions. central commanders give sort of general directions and
8:40 pm
then the people on the ground themselves are making the decision. and i mentioned motivated very well. i imagine the military support provided by the west has also helped, but we'll come back to that in just a moment. let me bring in victor in moscow, victor rushes admission of a withdrawal in is you miss significant because this was, of course, a major military hub for moscow. the russian say they are regrouping, but i wonder how is this being viewed in moscow? what is the reaction there? and how is the kremlin explaining the setbacks? well, this is not the 1st set back in russia's military operation, ukraine. in the last 6 months, several months ago, russian forces retreated from the kia from the areas of ki, of, and junior regions that they controlled. later on the
8:41 pm
mean, the island has been had been lost by the russian forces. and now we are witnessing a retreat from the critic of a region from those areas of the region that russian forces controlled. this is being openly discussed on the various panels, and this is being open and discussed on the russian television in the russian media . there are different reactions, but what is important to state is that russia is not going to be defeated on the battlefield. russia is the great power and it cannot afford a military defeat. but how is the defense when i'm explaining these 3, treat. how is it justifying these 3 treat? well, the russian defense ministry is being tight lipped. it is saying that it has happened to prevent
8:42 pm
a large loss of their so now and that is about it. but it is being discussed on various levels. and it is, again, it is important to note that this is not the end of russia's efforts in ukraine. and russia will continue with special military operation, the ukraine, until it either reaches its goals that are set in the beginning, which has to be very difficult at this point to, to, to forecast or if a solution, if a diplomatic solution ok is found between a solution that would involve both russia, the west and ukraine, semi russian foreign minister should be a lover of a just yes, they said that russia still looking for a diplomatic solution to this crisis, not talking about the diplomatic solution and whether talks can still happen at this stage. samuel romani, let me bring it,
8:43 pm
bring you into the conversation. as victors said, there is not the 1st time that we're seeing a retreat from russian forces. how significant are these recent gains by the ukrainians in the wider conflict? is that even more significant? do you think than the russian retreat from from keys back in march? well, the rush retreat grew here. back in march was a major. we have a ration of the mission and mark the end of phase one of what they call the special military operation. and the start of phase 2, so implicitly meant that for the foreseeable future regime, changing here, the overthrow zalinski and is replaced by a pro russian figure, like for janet colbert jewelry, made the joke, or someone else who had more graduate support not possible. so all of them are very significant, the significant for different reasons when it comes to the ab. if we see events in car keith, the russian says military establishment, pierce, we have been blindsided because you see it from brush telegram brush. military experts were warning that when you read was doing,
8:44 pm
curzon was up only at the 1st phase of the operation was a bit of a think the real focus would be on a bliss. for car cave appeared as if the russian dead defense ministry was caught off guard and now they lost their supply lots. so it's quite complicated also for their campaign. danielle, we get coupons and is young. are very important for the events of operations that they're carrying out in places like barcode and soda. and it's also coincided with ukraine bridging into lehman credentialing. i mean that russia and on ganske will be fighting an offensive operation. and now d events of operation at the same time. so typically, i mean what, what are the russians missing right now? well, strategically, one of the things i think the, the having a bit of difficulty with is now supply lots. and again, after region triggered this app because we seen m, i 26 helicopters which can carry, but he 1930 fibers now being carried over to bring suppose reinforcements into darky. but the problem is those helicopters are very vulnerable to man pads, and other ab defensive equipment that the ukrainians a man she get from nato countries. so they're having a bit of difficulty now in terms of making sure they don't have
8:45 pm
a repeat of what's happening. her is andrea, 20000 troops stuck there, and all the bridges are destroyed in the trying to build the pontine very in the running in stack that you and that, that's her initial problem, i think right now. and also they need careful, but where the gritty encounter events is going to happen next. some people think it might go through belinda and into diana. there's apparently a movement to lou haskell allegedly if you believe the good last governor said he had i italy's, his chance. and in this campaign incurs on you came i come from multiple axis or my unexpected to concentrate on one and leave russia blindsided again. so guessing you raised next move is very difficult for the russians. ok, well let's take a look at as the sort of support ukraine has been getting from the wes or ukraine's recent gains have been largely due to the huge amount of western military ages received in the past few months. let's take a closer look at the numbers in total, more than 30 countries have provided military equipment. the u. s. has contributed the most by far with at least $12500000000.00 in military aid. poland follows
8:46 pm
behind supplying weapons worth $1830000000.00, and the u. k. has pledged the 3rd largest amount with weapons worth $1360000000.00 . but ukraine's president has appealed for more fund day, saying the monthly cost of defense was about $5000000000.00. mikaela vanessa key. i saw you shaking your head there. you don't seem to agree with me that that western military support is indeed what is helping ukraine. right. now regained the territory off. no, i, i, i, i, i agree with you that muster military support is absolutely key and then we are, we are receiving them. we're very grateful for the fact of receiving a very large amount of ammunition of, of, of, of equipment, et cetera. and this is one of the reasons that i vehemently disagree with victor who says that the russian army cannot be defeated on the battle. it can be defeated and we will see its defeat in the next little while. the important thing to
8:47 pm
understand is that this particular gain in hockey, in fact, was not really supported by western military equipment on the western military equipment that has come into the country was concentrated largely in the south in the castle region. and it has been used for, for example, the high mar systems. in other words, that multiple rockets are very, very accurate. local rocket systems have been used for attacking supply lines in the south in the eastern part of the country in the northeast. specifically, we've been seeing actually a battle basically with all. so read your equipment because these have been, as i mentioned before, the territorial brigades that are actually doing the fighting. yes, they have some man pads. yes. they have some, some, a, some of the mobile equipment, a javelins and that sort of thing that were supplied at the beginning of the war. but this is not really recent stuff or what is i think really phenomenal is that if we look at the amount of captured rushing equipment in the last 2 weeks, those numbers, the number of, of, of inch tank or excuse me,
8:48 pm
of any personal or personnel carriers tank weapons and ammunition actually our numbers, the amount of aid that we've been getting from the west. so in fact, the largest supplier of military equipment to the ukranian armed forces at the moment is rush victor, your response? well, russia cannot afford a defeat in the ukraine because a defeat in ukraine would mean a very serious political consequences in russia itself. and of course, russia is going to do everything can and the russian forces are going to do their utmost to prevent a defeat. how, how do they do that? how do you do that? it seems to be short on weapons, short in ammunition and also shorter soldiers. how are they going to achieve this objective? what the objectives of this special operation as they calling it? the initial objectives of the special know the ration that were outlined by the
8:49 pm
russian precedent in february at this point, difficult to achieve. the objectives now are somewhat more limited and where, but we see the same. you see, we see a very bellicose rhetoric from both sides, a rhetoric which cannot be realized on the front when we discuss russian objectives from february 24th. and the how likely is that they will be achieved in the near future. we have to also look at the objectives that ukrainian officials are putting before their forces to be and how unrealistic those objectives are. we see ukrainian officials who say that their objective is to take crimea or to take the don't. yes, can look on screen agents. there is something very different about crimea and that then yes, kind of got christian from, from the company kind of disagree just doing the green,
8:50 pm
green forces. me kind of fun for you. let me explain for us what's different kind of russian, it's not about taking crimea or taking the next. it's about liberating those areas that have been occupied by russia since 2014. and this has nothing to do with ethnicity or language. and i do want to say that one of the original objectives of the special military operation, in fact, invasion was demilitarization. well, my dear russian friends, you're doing a wonderful job of it. you're demilitarised yourself on ukrainian soil and in fact supplying the ukrainians with your wonderful weapons. and at this point, running away from the battlefield. b, objective of liberating occupied territories on the korean side has not changed since 2014. it's something that we have been ongoing and, and, and going after in a very crimea is ukrainian sal casanya. before i bring you back into the
8:51 pm
conversation, i'll just allow victor to respond to, to what mikaela her has just said that the objective and also me kind i want to hear from you. well, she will still think this is, this is a special operation in marcia because this is now an all out war from, from the looks of it. the official ukrainian statements on the need or the wish to the back came year are militarily unrealistic. this is not going to happen. what's happening is that both sides are setting up on the elastic objectives and the, it seems that, ah, the one of the ways, the still open to resolve this conflict is a diplomatic solution. but that solution, the diplomatic solution is only going to be able to be achieved. if the west are seeks, gives it the green light, it was the ukrainian side, it was the west that brought an end to the negotiation. negotiation process,
8:52 pm
okay. was launched in billers in the, in the early march, and then continued in istanbul in turkey, semi of the ukrainian side that left to those negotiations. okay. accusations and counter accusations, of course, when it comes to who left the negotiations and who doesn't want to talk, samuel, i want to bring you into the conversation on that point of negotiations. do you think now is a good time to resume talks and negotiations to end the conflict, or is ukraine now in a position that it feels that it no longer needs to negotiate? well, i think that there's been an extra bit of radicalization on both sides. so we look at some of the rhetoric, even in russia, after the i defeated car cave. you see people like to but you my video from the security council talking about how our ultimate goal is, the total capitulation of ukraine and the ultimatums that as lindsey calls them, that we offered them are just like children's play. on the other hand, you see the ukranian saying that there's no use in dialogue with russia until because when you focus on liberating all of our territory, including cry, now get,
8:53 pm
and then given the fact that there's an extra, either extreme rhetoric on both sides against the occasions i think he's going to ram likely to see diplomacy in dialogue come forward. the russian terms in particular seemed to be quite unrealistic. agentless, julianna's slootsky in the state duma. they're talking about the complete unification of ukraine, which would imply effectively, so in scab dictating and some kind of a regime change or some kind of extension extinguishing of ukrainian culture does undergrad. so there's a bit of a, a real sense of manslow going from russia. i think that it's unlikely that we'll see p socks being held. turkey has expressed some optimism that we could have talks based on the black sea grain deal to apply to other dieters. i did operation nuclear plant and then maybe towards a broader settlement. right. but they seem to be sending own that one. so, and i also think the rinney's now have a sense of confidence that can really win this militarily, even if it takes months or even longer than that. and i think that is going to be ultimately yeah, going to be thought on the battlefield. not the bargaining table. and how se, samuel, do you think putting in is in all of this,
8:54 pm
they seems to be cracks. now in the narrative? well, there critics narrative at the cracks of the narrative are not coming from liberal set. is not the alexi. novalis is not people having and he would administrations the cracks are coming from the hard liners, the one eyed she really, russia, exactly. one of the rush all the way to here, russia, where when this war with the maxwell objective there were stated by hootin in february 24th. and also many people who are calling now for a total mobilization. those like the former gun bass, commander, eager structural. gov gurkin and graham's and could europe, who want a re evaluation of the russian ministry defense is tragic. and a lot of the blame is being placed on survey chicago, who is a civilian. he's an emergency minister, he wasn't actually a military personnel and not necessarily on the head of vladimir putin at this time . right. that hooton's seems to be shielded from some of the criticism. it's going more to the defense ministry. all right, victor, in moscow, there isn't a talk of total mobilization from the hawks in russia. are we going to see
8:55 pm
a conscription now of russian soldiers and are russians to ready to fight for russia? the russian government at this point is not looking to, ah, to impose thought though or less modernization in russia. this would have a significant consequences for the russian economy. it would take a number of far able bodied men from other positions at various russian, ah, economic or industrial organizations and put them on the front. russia is also, i would also have to provide all of those are new conscripts with weapon systems ah, and other military equipment. at this point, this may simply not be available. so rushing, how are they going to win as well as a special note that operation? well, at this point, at this point, it is important for russian not to be defeated and russia is going to do its utmost
8:56 pm
not to suffer a defeat in ukraine. you see a leg away defeating ukraine. does not mean the is not the same as achieving all of the goals that were set out on february 24th. so both sides are essentially both the rational side in the ukrainian side. the goal is that we're initially said we're now being set by the ukranian side on the way it is. again, i will repeat, it is hard to imagine that russia in the near future will be able to get a stream change and key in the same time, it is highly unlikely that the ukranian fed will be able to achieve all the know the goals, you know setting out, so me kind of next to the chances of getting crimea for ukraine, an extra no. ok, me kind of, i'm going to give you the last word in live. what else is likely to shape the situation on the ground and elsewhere? one, i'm very pleased that according to our colleagues in moscow, the,
8:57 pm
the goal now of the russia is not to win the war. it's do not be defeated. well, i want to that, that was actually a very, very, a poignant point made by victor. well, in this case, ukrainian side is looking for big 3 and big 3 for us, it's very simple. it's regaining the territories that have been occupied illegally by russia. that includes all of the territories that were marketed and i've been internationally recognized since $991.00. it includes crimea, whether this is resolved, 100 percent, militarily, we will see not a war that is going and soon unfortunately. okay, this is probably going to glad for a while while longer, but i have no doubt about the fact that turning point has in fact been reached. gentlemen, thank you very much for a great discussion. mikhail of an ascii victor oliver chan, samuel romani, and thank you to for watching. you can always watch this program again anytime by
