ukraine says it's regains territory. it dos several regions including khaki, a significant fed spot for russia. so is this a turning point in the conflict? and how will moscow respond? this is inside store. ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm fully battery bowl. after nearly 7 months of fighting ukraine has finally begun to regain some of the territory it lost 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 is 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 miss on strikes, calls blackouts in several areas, including the main city. power was restored in de ne pro petrov ask, don't yeske, and so me by midnight on sunday, but khaki remained in darkness. an estimated 9000000 people were affected, including in areas controlled by russia. now, despite the days of battlefield setbacks, the kremlin stop 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, a. but it seems that the ukraine had managed to trick 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 the troops from this side of the country to be their presence in this have sown region. nevertheless, at this point, the ukrainians have managed to reach some strategic down like to 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 last 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 hunt up the need for inside story. while russia has acknowledged its losses in ukraine's northern concave region, a russian installed official says ukrainian forces out numbered russian troops in the counter offensive retaking ways of land. since early september, ukrainian troops have advanced rapidly areas that took wash a month to seize, have been retaken in just stays, ukrainian flags, and now flying in the cities of is you and compounds both on railway lines that

serve as a surprise, vote for russian troops. ukraine phase. it has also made gains in the south me a care song, but at a slower pace. ah, well it's bringing our guest now innovative, mikhail o vanessa key, political commentator, and professor at the national university of key mil hila academy in moscow. victor olive ich his a lead expert at the center for actual politics and in oxford, 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 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 for a re 24th. they received significant amounts of training in the last 6 months, and they're very, very motivated to, 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 got a few hours to have no desire to be occupied by the russians, and they are the 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 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 health, 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 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 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 cannot afford a military defeat. but how is the defense when is explaining these 3, treat? how is it justifying these retreats? well, the russian defense ministry is being tight lipped. it is saying that it has happened to prevent 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 were 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 4, thrasher, the west and ukraine. semi rational, foreign minister, should be a level of a just yesterday said that russia still looking for a diplomatic solution to this crisis. come about the diplomatic solution and, and whether talks can still happen at this stage, samuel romani, let me bring it, 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 rehab 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 overthrows landscape is replaced by a pro russian figure. like for janet colbert, your victor made the joke or someone else who had more grassroots support was not possible. so all of them are very significant, significant for different reasons why 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, 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 industry was caught off guard and now they lost their supply lots. so it's quite complicated also for their campaign. danielle, we guys coupons can is you are very important. busy for the events of operations of their carrying out in places like barcode and soda. and it's also coincided with ukraine bridging into lehman credentialing. i mean that russian dung ask will be fighting an offensive operation. now the 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 lines. and then after region triggered the sat 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 are managed to get from nato countries. so they're having a bit of difficulty now in terms of making sure they don't have 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 bullet are and indeed on yet there's apparently a movement to lou hans allegedly if you believe the good last governor. so he had, i italy's, his chance, and in his campaign in curzon, you claim 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 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 self defense was about $5000000000.00. mikaela vanessa sky, 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 schools. 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 battlefield. it can be defeated and we will see its defeat in the next little while. the important thing to 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, a, some, a, some of the mobile equipment, a javelins and that sort of thing that we're 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 russian equipment in the last 2 weeks, those numbers, the number of, of, of inch tank or excuse me, over 80 personell or personnel carriers tank weapons and ammunition actually our numbers, the amount of aid that we've been getting from the west soon back. 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 do they do that? how did you do that when 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 military operation that were outlined by the russian president 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 unlikely 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, green forces. me kind of fun for you. let me explain for us. what's different that kind of ration 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. so okay, so now before i bring you back into the conversation, i'll just allow victor to respond to, to what me kind of her has just said that the objective and also me kind i want to hear from you whether fish, people 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, the 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 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 ah seeks gives it the green light, it was the ukrainian side. it was the west that brought an end to the negotiation. you go, she shes process 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 those negotiations. ok, 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 defeating car cave. you see people like to but you know, video from the security council's ducking it, but how our ultimate goal is, the total capitulation of ukraine. and the ultimatums that as lengthy calls them that we offered them are just like children's play. on the other hand, you see the ukranian saying that the zeal used dialogue with russia until because when you focus and liberating, all of our territory include granite get. and then given the fact that there's an extra other extreme at campbell sides against the occasions, i think he's going to be ram likely to see diplomacy and 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 maxwell's and i'm from russia. i think that it's unlikely that we'll see v socks being held. turkey has expressed some optimism that we could have

talks based on the black sea grain deal to apply to other leaders. i does operation nuclear plant and it may be 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. they 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. then we fought on the battlefield, not the bargaining table, and how safe, samuel, do you think protein is in all of this? there seems to be cracks. now in the narrative where chris 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 is the rush of 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 to like the former gun mass commander eager structural. gov gurkin and grenze and could hear of who it was,

a revaluation of the russian ministry defense is tragic and love. the blame is in place. answer gay, sure. you who is a civilian, he's an emergency minister, he wasn't actually a military personnel and not necessarily on the head of letting, refuting 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 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 thoughts or less mobilization 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 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 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 and the ukranian side. the goal is that where initially cetera, now being set by the ukranian side on the stick, it is again, i will repeat, it is a crowd 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, the other setting out soon. we 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, the goal now of the russian 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 is 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 glass for a while while longer, but i have no doubt about turning point has in fact been reached. gentlemen, thank you very much for a great discussion. mikhail of an ascii victor oliver chen, samuel romani, and thank you to for watching. you can always watch this program again any time by visiting our website at all, just 0 dot com for further discussion through our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can of course, also join the conversation on twitter handle. is that a j inside story from me fully back to you boy, and a whole team here in doha. thanks for watching. bye for now. ah,
