the next on dw was secret sly, behind be discovered new adventures in 362 unexplored, fascinating boats. heritage dw world heritage $360.00 now the booster ukraine. it's trip. so punch drugs the 1st long way the russians defense is in the southern region. them soccer region would well next steps. be even honda and little caustic, my guess is week is your re sac advise that the ukraine's ministry of defense. and he's clear what he's country will give for peace. and what it won't getting to concessions to and a dresser is etc, it's, it's, it's a non stop a, despite the good news on the battlefield, as a political casualty. and you cry defensive. it is. the alexa resnick,

of spear heavy countries pushed go west and weapons and ammunition. why didn't he do realm of the senior politicians and you craven out, openly critical with the western populace? how serious is the risk and human rights violations on the field of battle? you admonished to say, it's not just the russians shooting amount prisoners, such as you cry, of a serious case, the onset already sac. welcome to come, pick them without something to make his reports indicate your counter offensive, and this off of the country is making progress. a number of times have been liberated. the 1st line of russian defense has been breached in that, that felicia region, the white house, called that notable progress is it, as it is in the we have been conducting shaping and probing operations for quite some time now. and considering the density of mind mean considering the strength of

the concrete for the vacation. so be, i mean, considering the lack of how the train still experiences this can and should be seen as considerable progress. and we hope to develop it and continue to live. right, it's all out of the cities, not just in the south, but you know, in a positive front line as well with structures as you remember for over 900 kilometers. it's been a while since you've had some important successes on the battlefield. so why did the president choose this moment to sack your defense smith as the alexa resume costs? when things are actually getting better, but how be we in this more and this defensive borges are very brutal and aggressive. i me as a c and the captain of our team is our president, mr. celeste, the so as a captain, he's best positions to see the full picture to know that at this stage, this move,

this change of resort. oh, he believes his vision is that they will improve capabilities and make it make stronger. so as he said, i mean the present, as he said, and he's telling lies to dress in his vision. the timeless come for trying new approaches to the white and new sort of fast interaction go products with both the ministry at the civil society. so we talked to our captain, we are driven by the same goal to defeat the enemy, and we are moving forward. or as you say, the president talked about new approaches like like what for instance. like for example, there were a lot of, uh, transparency, procurement procedures that be their pool, which has started by it was started by a me. so that's the rest of the job. and it needs to be accelerated, like, uh, the of course, be privately oh, jack picks up the new medicine of defense and instead of the stuff that they will continue to be ensuring that you're trying to achieve sufficient weapons. and the

prime is capable of driving the enemy out. but of course, there are, you know, a certain processes within the visual defense which have created some public threaten us in the recent couple of months. and they have to be addressed. and we will be, this is what the role of the new minnesota banks will be. i understand that, but one thing strongly about resident costs foster project is that he's the man who is negotiated the acquisition, the boss, the amount so far and weaponry. and that munition, he's build up a huge list of possible contacts with senior western counterparts and some considerable amount of goodwill. don't you now risk squandering that goodwill. i'm the personal relationships, but mister leslie call as built up to the advantage of the whole country or well indeed for a more than last 5. i mean, the guys missed the rest of the gulf was driven by the goal of building these

relationships. and he actually made the possible possible on so many different occasions. it all began with the united states of america, telling him back in october 2021. that it was not possible for your trade to receive human stages in java's. right now, we are expecting to see more of 5 digits at 16. so mr. advocates contribution to making our partners believing. obviously, making apologies believes that we can trusted and that we shouldn't be given these weapons systems model systems. his contribution was invaluable or mr. the style matter is also a very experienced politician. he's very well connected on the international scene, and i am sure that he will be able to pick up the slack can be the slack back for the next stages of this morning. and i'll be the minutes or best you mentioned a moment ago,

some of the next stages in the more that you'll be facing and the front line, but stretches to around a 1000 kilometers. nobody. that's your will to get that. but do you have a military hardware to fight with across these huge distances? and then as you know, this is a battle of david against glass or in this war we have to uh, find a goose anatomy which as us in every possible respect, right into the opportunity to look at uh, the amount of man power that they have. so this is why we're finding a smart little, this is why we are very careful. we brought the progress slow out, but we are saving the lives of soldiers. we are very careful with the equipment that we have the receipts from our west and boss. so, you know, considering that we will continue to fight a small, i think, you know, and providing that be supported by some time this will continue. i think we are on

track and you know, we will definitely when i want to talk about that support a little later on. but you, you don't just remember to go about saving the lives of your soldiers by, by all accounts you don't publish casualty. if it goes, why should you but by all accounts, who have taken terrible losses in the battle so far? how shocking has not been for you. uh uh, this is a rule and uh of course uh, this is a what, which is the largest uh by scale from uh, the 2nd floor. uh and um, i have a losses. you know, for us, the loss of every soldier is a tragedy. but we have said it many times the because we are finding a small and because we have high, we got for the life of soldiers, we're not using them as canada for that. we're not throwing down. these would be me drive the price. this is why our loss is considerably lower than both of the and just so that you understand from august 28th,

to september 3 according to off because we have a sort of more than full 1000 russian souls. not that is very, very huge. and uh we do take losses, but like we said, it's always sometimes is racial $5.00 to $1.00, sometimes $9.00 to $1.00. so we are very careful when we, uh, you know, very uh, considered when it comes to planning on moving to the operations. american officials, are you starting to shift the whole experience forces from the east to the south, but these units have also taken heavy casualties. have they run reports that some to tunes a mostly stop by people who've already been wounded but have come back to fight on the front lines again. is that right? we are making sure that our uh um, full service, whether we and well staff, we have sufficient reserves. i mean it could be tremendous. i'm traveling along the

front line and having a real feel what the situation is on the battlefield. president himself. but from that just yesterday, when both of them, if we get into the 3, just so we are in control and you know, some of these reports are taken out of context and the situation of course, it's difficult. it's, you know, some of the areas of the front line, like for example the, the direction they are very piece of biking by who all is well, right. but at the same time, like i said, some of these tools, i think you have a context how they don't, uh, well try to fix you the way it is. you mentions of a mine field since you've encountered on the battlefield, your foreign minister called that number, the number of russian mines unprecedented. while i'm us general spoke of 5 or 6 mines per square meter. does that take you by surprise? that's extraordinary. density isn't that it, it's sort of

a density more of a because of this density. and because of the way in which russia's lane goes, mind passing along those lines. now it is also not even possible to use the d mining equipment. so a lot of that you don't have enough of any way to you don't have enough. you have about 25 percent of the equipment that you need according to some reports. well, yes, no, we're always asking for more because uh, you know, it's a long and very expensive uh, structure of the boxes. but i will just brand new site that even, you know, wherever we do have the, the monitor, we've been very off and it still has to be done manually. and like the latest report we have from the front lines is that for example, rushes. uh now essentially these microphones fly up to make it even more difficult for us to carry out the money operation. so it's, it's hot, i'm going be grounds, but you know, have time to have to cover in the exasperation region. this is flat ground bow

isn't that which favors the defenders. um also winter is on the horizon and that too. busy the favor, the russians dug into the trenches and fortifications. you happen to know the struggle ahead of you don't you? this is just the beginning, isn't and we know about this and we are determined and we are prepared for it. now . what do you have to understand, of course, is that we are paying a lot of attention to disrupting the logistics last. all right. and the sort of daniel actually able to prepare for the weight of the season and what we see that, you know, we are succeeding in destroying the condition depot. we have destroyed the bridges that they have been using for logistical supplies in the south last month. so you landed a rating policy on cry, me a, a brief report from your ministry, settle the objectives of the special operations, where chief without casualties, and you exchange fire with russian forces. what, what are the objectives here, as well, the objectives of, to keep the enemy off balance, of course, always,

and to continue either action come by or try me at a spot of beans and actually recognize to us are the frame and our vision of a peace plan envisages the course of crimea is back to the last of the training. so we are carrying out different operations, your strongly enemy, that you know, we are capable of reaching them gravity on the temporarily altered by sizes and will continue until we, when mr. side whatever the hardships your people have been in during the government appears to enjoy a pretty strong solid support. 1 for its policies, one of your presidents advisors put it this week at about 95 percent, but when it comes to peoples attitudes in europe, in america, the picture is less encouraging. are you worried about that? well, of course, almost every trade man now has been boss in a bad. why, why this war?

this is why if you ask the pregnant people, the vast majority is very determined to continue to fight to live because we all understand that this is about us and by the stand that we have no other choice for getting that, getting that idea to the public in america and europe for instance, that's why we lose mit. we have tried to explain very simple terms that you praise between this war is not just in the interest of your pregnancy in the national interest. all of it comes in west to you in the united states of america, bbc on a day that i called yesterday i uh, got a little drop off uh, sale and the to make it on the tennessee of romania. we have photos, evidence of this, right. and this is already matrix headed to be so, and you haven't heard again that you need it or from and it has refused to continue

the grain deal. so the law of this war continues. we are all expected our national interest, you price, rest of your p countries, the say everybody's affecting. so this is why it is, i think, not right to think pull some of the allies that you know you can lose interest it's. it's a one that affects everyone. this is why you say that, but it's a reality that you have to factor in, don't you? i mean, do not fear that a trauma. victory could bring you a more fighting capabilities to a grinding hold of these elective president. next you as well, so we have to and we do understand that deluxe is of a very complex process and they involve a lot of different directory. but um, we speak to both republicans and democrats on a daily basis. and, you know, election method aside, we pretty much confident that the bipartisan support of your friend will continue

because i will repeat the defeats a rush. so i'm bringing boxes of justice in the interest of the, the national media images of the united states of america as well. so let's wait and see what the elections will bring, of course, uh, american country and uh, maybe the best kind of wind. but the bipartisan support, we hope to continue, that's a strong impression risk. the fact that the tensions have been increasing between your credit and some of his allies last month. presidential advisor say hey, mission code was quite easy to say. it's all setting and the motivating, the less than military equipment has not yet arrived. and the problem is quantities . how may i ask that to me? tell color preferences, hit packet west and commentators, people who said your counter offensive being too slow. he said, i would recommend the critics to shut up, come to ukraine and try to liberate one square centimeter by themselves. you think these outbursts do any good.
