mobilization, russia is now able to gather no more than 60-70 combat tactical groups against ukraine, it is not known what quality when we look at these losses that the russian federation is suffering on the territory of the ukrainian state, when we see that here is already the second largest contingent that died in the soviet union in afghanistan, 20,20,000 servicemen have already died, that is, they have already surpassed the 10-year war of the soviet union against afghanistan. can you say whether such huge losses are justified? human first of all on the part of the russian federation, not to mention the fact that they have already left one and a half tank armies in ukraine on the battlefield, it is necessary to note that russia and the main putin have not calculated such losses in general well, i think that it will be an easy walk, that the special forces that we are talking about today will not

capture the main centers, it will take two or three days, and in just two weeks, the russian army will conquer practically all territories and all regional centers of ukraine, and it did not happen. it was a shocker, i will say frankly for putin and for the military leadership, for the fsb, why were there rotations, why were there arrests , because in fact the plans and the information materials that putin received were respectively fake, that is, no one expected the unification of ukrainians, no one expected that really the people will become the protection of the whole and especially the armed forces of ukraine will unite in an extremely powerful way. the arsenal guard of the special services, the territorial defense is actually a single center, and the people will help everyone by all means at five. it is true that we have protected the state, that is why at the moment the last ones were the most senior troops. military paratroopers special forces e-e sla e-e in quotation marks i take the marines, which was accordingly advertised as usual in our country, which can actually fight with the oak special forces of the world and have success -

these are the wagnerites, these are the kadirovites. that is, it is to intimidate people, in fact, this whole, we say , this armada was directed to capture as a matter of priority, for three days and two weeks , virtually all objects, and it so happened that in fact they were all destroyed, including the entire unit and battalions and brigades and regiments, including generals, in which these processes were controlled by the commander of the army, the commander of the brigades and regiments, this actually indicates that all the elite troops were divided into 80, some at 90% and if we talk in general about this entire first helmet, somewhere under 120,000, which went to ukraine , it is clear that, er, it has already practically lost the combat capability of a live target by 40 or 60% without doing. enemies and up to 45,000

wounded, in fact, more than half of the russian component that was attacking ukraine was neutralized , so today it was no longer an elite unit, but some so-called professional units that were used abroad in the first place for example, in syria or in africa. and they return to ukraine to regroup and concentrate new forces, together with a contingent that has never participated in combat operations, and therefore, in this situation today, it is extremely difficult to mobilize in russia, especially those who are able to fight with on the other hand, there is no motivation, and the third component is already those parts that are involved, we see, we suspect, for example, which were in buch, they are broken, even enthusiastic about even that kata, therefore, in this situation, even those failures of preparation i take in quotation marks the preparation of fascism in ukraine, today they are breaking up for the first time and in fact these forces that rush in new ones are

being redrawn. that is why russia is acting aggressively because it sees that there is no chance , new contingents are rushing in and uh the fact that our fighters are coming and the commanders are communicating with them says that they are just going like an avalanche, they don’t control the situation, whether they are smoked or drugged or something else, but there are avalanches, but tens of hundreds of specific combat operations in a specific direction are not even stopping, but still more and more undermining of the potential and in fact the new contingents that are being formed, they no longer have either combat experience or spirit, or even the latest technology, today russia is running out of their potential, even the missiles that are still there today, that are still striking zaporizhzhia, as we say odesa, lviv, and different cities of ukraine, kharkiv, for example, in donbas and mariupol, but today the stockpile is systemic, we are increasing the stockpile and resources, if we are talking about 60,000 of them, we have mobilized them, it is hundreds of thousands

military personnel, motivated, strong, powerful . but now that they have already been trained by weapons experts, the russian federation does not have a big chance. they will try to concentrate er, a huge number of them in separate areas, for example, there are 40 battalions of group two, 15 battalions of raisin group, for example, there are still in donetsk, but this is practically a systemic problem we have not decided for them, we are already preparing - we are ready for all strategic directions, we know them space intelligence together with the intelligence units of our partners and our the intelligence service perfectly knows the driver in all directions, the attack and the movement of troops and equipment. accordingly, we are ready for any scenarios of actions. general, i wanted to ask you as a person who for a long time managed the foreign intelligence service, it is absolutely obvious that the russian federation studied the situation in ukraine before the sustained war with ukraine, they had their agents they had their own agents of influence in the upper echelons of power in the verkhovna rada of ukraine in

other er government er let's put it this way offices er that's what happened and what they couldn't understand to calculate the possibility of the scenario of the development of events in ukraine, this shows that they were hanging noodles over putin's ears and they were trying to somehow provide him with the information he was counting on, because for such a large-scale war, for the start of such a large-scale war, there obviously had to be some certain analytical calculations, certain some analytical notes that were written in the top leadership of the russian federation, what is the reason that the russians could not understand what they are doing here? no one expects ukrainians to wage a people's war against the russian federation about the fact that this war will turn into a

real patriotic war for every ukrainian from young to old. well, we need to go deeper here because we are already talking about the philosophy of whether the russians could defeat the ukrainians . in fact, it is not impossible because ukraine is one the people and it is clear that aggression is good aggression and it causes the unification of people even with different political views religious views i am not talking about the original russia of differences and it happened in ukraine and then before the war indicates especially even to putin, who unites the people and who is in ukraine, he did not give in because we even said on your broadcast that the russian federation was not up to the task, not a single country, even the empire, did not win, and why did this happen? why did they leave because putin's idea on on the basis of those philosophies and emotions and the restoration of the union, she also lured in authoritarian societies special services analytical intelligence centers they work to order not objective analysis,

real analysis, but according to what the leader wants and in fact all materials starting from e-e global assessment situation that the ukrainians are in fact a people and accordingly the russians how they calculated it we take their words and on the other hand that here the forces of more pro-russian people up to 80% are actually disunited they directly indicate and wait for the russians and there was another component that putin i really liked the fact that somewhere around 75-80% do not support the presidents of ukraine who elected putin. that is , this was another misinformation of the globe tractor, who liked it very much. it is clear that all other genetic materials were already prepared on the basis of this very thing of strategic sowing that there is a pro-russian population, that the leaders are not capable, that there is no army here, that is, in fact, we have a balanced and there is no relationship here, they are waiting for putin in various regions and are ready to support him already at all levels of government, that is why the agency is constantly working here, as they indicate, which has

an effective influence for the entire population, including those above the authorities, regional structures, public organizations, e.e., information resources, religious organizations, that is, in fact, such a picture was formed for him, e.e., of all-encompassing support for russia, especially putin's policy. so, under this situation, the idea was actually formed that he would deliver and appropriate blows of various options. at first, there were ideas of disorganization of power, that he would accordingly advance in his political forces about his leaders. can lead the interim governments. that is, it is all in the complex, the administration of putin, intelligence , respectively, the foreign service from russia and the head of the intelligence department, and especially the fsb, which actually dominated. as we already know, the general is gazebos, how he formed this position and was responsible for the implementation of the strategic plan of their military-civil defense, and accordingly, the entire strategic plan was for the administration and the fsb, which had to introduce this

model and reorient the authorities and the presentation of citizens and the public to the interests of the russian federation, the creation of local protection of self-government, holding a referendum on the formation of the government of maryanenko, first in kharkiv, then in other places, that is, in fact, this global scheme that was decided by putin is ideal, i will say frankly, in fact there was a fake elfa, i know very well not only putin there, but also those who are at the head of the fsb and development, but they understood, they did not dare to tell him something else, we see it just during one meeting of the security council where the question of the formation of the so-called dnr of the lnr as leaders accordingly, the special services were conditionally falling. it was almost in some formats that we could have our say , that is, objectively, no one gave an assessment, on the other hand, there was a report on the successes, spending huge resources, this is already a corruption component both by the president's office and by the special services especially on

politicians on agents, that is, huge resources that were spent, tens of billions of dollars, i am not talking about information wars, these are snakes that were financed by huge corporations, no gazprom - these are billions of dollars in a specific channel, which means that there was no one for us, how to withstand the war, it was very difficult when there are such resources for the whole world ira that there and accordingly all the channels of 3-4 channels abroad are russian all the time, there was practically nothing for us. that is, this is another reinforcement of such a powerful information war but despite this, this did not happen, what happened was what we really said, the people united, so the aggressors united extremely powerfully, and all our efforts together with our partners were united, the partners unlocked, as we said, their neutrality in terms of the supply of weapons, not only defense a now what is the impression and offensive and prospective protection if even the scenario of some nuclear threats who said that in this situation then systematically lost philosophically ideologically technologically militarily and accordingly in the world

format because he became an outcast today the result what started is really real analysts and there were still sober people pointing out that this is unacceptable even came to us to say with respect to the colonel-general of kyiv that i know personally , i directly said that it is unacceptable and putin must resign directly one single general what is the process said frankly although he also defends the interests of russia, everything is clear with him, but even then the voice of the desert sounded that it is not acceptable because russia will lose, well, of course, no one took it as a reality, because it was already normal generated for a war with ukraine and with what external threats in the form of something like that and the like. and this is actually a loss for russia and the strategic philosophical plan of the plans, let's say the formation of some authoritarian policy for the restoration of the soviet union, which today was, as it were, a basic format and actually we today we are talking about the fact that the entire machine, both administrative

and political and military and special services, it was completely deserted, showed its unreality and inability to generate anything from anything, let's give an objective assessment, give real forecasts and even more so form action scenarios of real characters. it was without a scenario of normal cooperation with the citizens of ukraine and other countries of the world, and you are russia on er such democratic reactions, this was the perspective of russia and even accompanying so even after putin, they chose just the aggressive, very tough scenario that leads to the waging of war and the suppression of peoples. ukrainian special services because last month everyone was looking for viktor medvedchuk, finally in april he was caught while trying to cross transnistria with the help of the fsb and then get

to the russian federation , the lifetime leader of the opposition platform publicly said that he would like zelenskyi and putin to come to an agreement about exchanging him for ukrainian prisoners of war or for residents of mariupol, well, depending on how the presidents would determine, in principle, medvedchuk is a rather large figure in this big game against ukraine was led by the russian federation because he had three television stations, but he owned a political party, he had support in the east, the south, this party gained good votes in the local councils, there were a lot of deputies, eh, according to your estimates, eh, why all this, putin eh, did not react in any way at the suggestion of both zelenskyi and medvedchuk regarding the exchange,

because we know that viktor medvedchuk is the best man of vladimir putin. well, he is somehow related to the current president of russia. why is putin ignoring medvedchuk? well, first of all, it was questions about special services i think that at the moment we should have worked more effectively at the initial stage regarding the fifth column and about russia's plans to attack ukraine. but after the victory, we will evaluate the activities of all our structures in order to then give an objective assessment of medvedchuk himself and precisely his godfather putin in this situation putin has another priority medvedchuk is actually the material that can be worked out why because at the moment he was one of the executors of that strategy is one of the politicians who should support putin's strategy in ukraine at the expense of the political activities of his supporters and perhaps those people who together went

to power in different circles, this is why today in general at the moment when he was detained and when he tried to leave, they practically did not allow him to carry out his operation regarding the removal of putin understood the exchange for medvedchuk and in fact does not give anything politically because at the moment the material has actually been worked out komirsky has some feelings of his own. i think that he is not ready. he should ignore any situation related to relatives and godfathers because they are not relevant to him today, but maybe to some extent he considers that the fact that he implemented exactly that format is the culprit. the political sympathies of support that were reported by medvedchuk and his entourage to putin during the meeting, of course, and in parallel with the special services and the forties and with whom medvedchuk had contacts, that is why at the moment he is not such an extremely important player today for putin and he ignores him, it is possible to

carry it out somehow, but under the appropriate conditions of the tactical level, today it is important that medvedchuk give evidence about what plans were specifically for ukraine regarding the specific actions of putin himself and especially those politicians who were involved in this process in ukraine i emphasize, including politicians and the military, i already spoke to him, you know what the scenarios really were, and we know the scenarios, and here the special service should have calculated even earlier who medvedchuk appointed to positions that were still screwed up especially for the military special services, on his initiative, it also took place and submissions, it could have been and how then to perform their functions accordingly in different periods, that is, today it is possible to follow all-all directions and when working with medvedchuk of the special services and his entourage, accordingly, follow a parallel scenario that was developed not only along the lines of the party headed by medvedchuk, but along the lines of other structures and public and party organizations and the military in order to reveal the entire network that we are talking about in this situation

i think that putin will not put it right on the board, for example, the exchange of mariupol residents and putin, because for him it is important the symbol of capturing mariupol, as they said, it is stalingrad for russia, therefore, in this situation, such a high-level exchange will not be high assessment of the role of putin himself and the value of the personality for uh. he definitely won't have medvedchuk, that's why i think we can make an exchange for someone. maybe the verkhovna rada and the administration. and later , according to the party structures and especially the operative part, what he really knows today is very important for understanding what has been going on for many years in ukraine, and one of the key players is medvedchuk . the ukrainian

russian-ukrainian war will end with the signing of a treaty, but everything will depend on the course of hostilities, as in any situation. when armed forces are used, of course everything will end with a treaty but the parameters of this will be determined at the stage of military operations during which this treaty will become a reality. well, lavrov complained that zelensky does not respond to the proposals of the russian side regarding the so-called peace treaty, or whatever they call it there. what do you think, sir? general lavrov when they talk about the fact that there may be an agreement, but everything depends on the stage of hostilities , he admits that he and putin will have to sign the surrender act, ah, i think they have a slightly different goal, they are afraid of it extremely shah about capitulation. they are thinking to fix this state that they would like to impose on us now, for example, about the eyes of offensive

operations in the east of southern ukraine and maybe even transnistria and half captured some more parts of the territory, how do they plan to continue to negotiate about the status quo, according to your knowledge of these formations, as we say, we call the dnr the lpr , but already in the territories where they control today and the creation of southern corridors separately, respectively, up to donbas, maybe even up to they even already have such an appetite for transnistria that today it is simply unrealistic, but he correctly stated that position, it is important that it depends on the actions of the armed forces, and here it is important how effectively you control the armed forces of ukraine in terms of liberating the territory, how powerful we will be then to dictate our conditions are a key factor in all negotiations and all peace agreements, it is clear that we will completely destroy only capitulations, well, for this we need to get there. i think that at some stage, after all, we will come to the scenario and the format of the negotiations right now to put it bluntly, in more depth, all negotiations are conducted with

various scenarios and with various operational contacts, not only diplomatic but with various contacts not with russia, but with partners not only from the usa, europe, i will say turkey, but with other participants who have influence on putin. china is coming back here again, which left a month ago. i think that just such a scenario can lead us out, but on our terms, first of all. once again, this is the case with the key position of the successes of the armed forces of ukraine for signing agreements on peace agreements, but on the interests of ukraine with the withdrawal of troops in full, not what lavrov said, what will happen depends on the armed forces and fixing the status quo where they seized the territory today, this cannot be, in principle , such an agreement clearly will not happen. let this is how i understand putin and lavrov that only the removal of all the tail of the territory and of course all the conditions of the guarantees for ukraine and other conditions cannot be there today

. for example, whether there is knowledge in crimea or in donbas of some kind of formations. this cannot be today. the brand of the discussion is the minimum that they can be pulled out of the brackets in this race of the process that will end the war and the prospects are the issue of the return of crimea and then part of the donbass will definitely be relevant for today, we need to work out the conditions that completely freed the territory on february 24, fix exactly our all conditions and guarantees that should be and later our efforts are already building up the political er-e with a more expedient regime of prospects for russia to return the crimea already well, if we leave part of the donbas for them and the donbas thank you, mr. general, for the conversation i wish you good health and all the best . take care of yourself and your loved ones. remind the viewers that this was an army general. former head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine mykola
