what are the coverages blocking the connection, uh, since march , the connection there is very bad and breaks through very rarely, and that's why i would like maybe this information to calm down more mothers who are looking for children, there are problems with the connection, and i think it's this one the information can at least calm them down a little, there are no shellings, but there are problems with communication, maybe that's why the mother ca n't call the children. thank you for the information, but of course i want a little more specifics, so i 'm asking the residents of the occupied forest wall and the surrounding villages, who may be watching me carefully now look at the photo, 13-year-old melania chumak looks her age and has dark eyes and light blond hair, ivan also has dark eyes and light blond hair, he looks 16-17 years old, the children live in the village of lisna stynka street, lisna building 5 if anyone can to visit them and check if everything is okay with them. if they are okay or someone already has them, call

us at the child tracing service at the short number 116,000 from any mobile operator, the calls are free, or write to the chat bot of the child tracing service in telegram, at least a little news about everything is fine with ivan, their mother is very reassuring to everyone. and now on the espresso tv channel, the studio program will analyze the event, of course, we will analyze the most important issue of the war and various tangential problems, in particular, we will try to measure the psychological and military potential of the russian aggressor . lieutenant general ben hodges, the former commander of the contingent of the united states , will be working in the studio now of states in europe and mark fagin, a member of the russian opposition, a former member of the state duma, and now on the

espresso tv channel, one of the leading american military of experts, lieutenant general ben hodges, the former commander of the united states troops in europe, we will talk about the new russian military strategy and how powerful the enemy will become. glory to ukraine, mr. generals, we would like to see you in the studio of the espresso tv channel. well, the key question is how, in your opinion, the situation will unfold now after the enemy took lysychansk putin and that they held a meeting and they understood that the pace of their offensive operations rested against the wall of courage of our military, but this means that the enemy will to regroup, russian forces are now showing off their local successes, continuing to kill the ukrainian military and the civilian population, but i am convinced that now the russian forces are especially exhausted, they have nothing left but to

inflict artillery strikes on cities and villages , the situation with the logistics and human resources of the russian federation is only getting worse, on the other hand, the situation for of ukraine in terms of logistics and the supply of new types of weapons is improving every week, if we talk about the number of ukrainian soldiers, then they are completely there is only a lack of specially trained army personnel, so the ukrainian and russian troops are currently undergoing a test of will and logistics, and i think that in the next three weeks there will be a turning point and a change in the situation on the battlefield in favor of ukraine, artillery, logistics and missiles. we very much hope that in the near future we will be able to install an artillery parity, but on the other hand, we understand that the enemy is now

using the worst soviet practices, in particular the so -called barrage of fire when they just start to destroy every square meter of the earth on which they attack, because that is my statement, but what are the russian troops capable of now? they lack the strength to make some kind of powerful breakthrough . missiles from the territory of russia or belarus. and after russia evacuated its military from the territory of the island of snakes, it became clear to everyone that russia does not have an overwhelming by fire superiority, the ukrainian troops are winning the victory of the pataks with 100. obviously

, now the most important thing is to continue destroying and neutralizing russian artillery and russian missiles. after all, this has been discussed, and the situation for ukraine, unlike russia, is improving every week, we understand that the united states and the west for europe are helping us with heavy weapons, with heavy artillery in particular, but we understand that it is not only about quality, but primarily about quantity, and we understand that the pace of this supply of heavy and heavy artillery weapons is not high enough for us to do that heavy artillery systems in the style of heimers there the

rocket hall fire system and so on came in larger quantities and as soon as possible, about 40 countries are delivering heavy weapons, equipment and ammunition, emphasizing that they are transferring to ukraine its own weapons, in my opinion, efforts to speed up the current delivery process will not be effective, there are many conversations that should not be happening, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine is excellent at hiding information about its capabilities, the state of weapons and ammunition, because no one wants the russians to have clear information about what specifically owned by ukraine at the moment, i cannot say that the fact that many ukrainians continue to call for the acceleration of the supply of weapons in some way this is helped by the governments of the usa, germany, great britain and france, poland, norway and the czech republic and

other countries actively transferring their own equipment to ukraine, so it is worth focusing on using what we are already helping and i hope that the ukrainians will manufacture their own weapons to the extent possible, and a certain system of military exercises is being formed inside the country with the aim of increasing the number of specially trained military personnel. i hope that ukraine develops its own distribution network, because this greatly affects the speed of deliveries. transportation of equipment by rail and freight transport from poland to destinations. to be honest, the fact that people continue to talk about speeding up deliveries in a certain way negates the efforts aimed at this. i am aware of this desire. i have close friends who are currently on the battlefield who have been injured or their friends or family members were injured, that's why i sincerely want to see the victory of ukraine as soon as possible, but

constant repetitions will not help our actions because of the lessons we have learned we direct our efforts to ensure that ukraine is able to use the latest equipment on the battlefield as effectively as possible, this is what the general staff is doing, it is necessary to focus on the fact that , while waiting for new deliveries, to make the best use of what is already available, probably more than 50% of the promised weapons have not yet has arrived , because it is necessary to take into account the time for transportation training and the like, this indicates that the situation for ukraine will only improve every week. i have a feeling that the russian general staff is entering a new phase and a new stage and wanted i would like to ask you what are the main contours of the new

russian military strategy in the ukrainian war that they will apply, in particular, there is a feeling that they are moving to a positional war largely in the south, that is, they can now strengthen their attempts to advance, in particular, in the kharkiv region, in particular, it is about the raisin direction, they will now try to take i don't know how to destroy and cover the cities in the donetsk region but all the same we see that in total along the front line they are starting to dig in, it seems that russia is aware of its inability to make any breakthroughs, i don't think that they will somehow manage to reach odesa and kyiv, instead, they will try to gain a foothold in the captured territories in order to declare their intermediate victories because they are aware of the lack of at this stage, it becomes powerful to move forward, this is my vision they hope that the lack of

patience, interest or desire to continue providing support is why russia will most likely resort to strengthening its positions ukrainian troops will fight small battles as much as possible the russians are clearly aware of the exhaustion and also the fact that thanks to the supply of weapons ukraine is becoming stronger every day, they are unable to compensate for their combat losses, therefore they direct their efforts to the removal of weapons and soldiers from kaliningrad, from under the borders of finland, from the crimea, as well as from the corners of the russian federation to them there is a fundamental lack of human resources, they are waiting for an opportunity to take a break and recover, and therefore to continue offensive actions next year, of course we do not

want to give them such an opportunity, the russians should neutralizing here and now, especially when they have no choice but to launch artillery strikes, is a great chance for ukraine , and i suspect that the general staff is waiting for such an opportunity by increasing its capabilities and making proper road preparation, mr. general. i remember our conversation before the war, and you seriously warned then so that disaster is coming. i think that now you would be able to predict the situation, in particular , it is about the calculation of russian forces, it is about the economic resource, it is about the military resource and a psychological resource. so, how long will the enemy gain strength? it’s a good question. unfortunately, i don’t know the number of valery barrels and ammunition that

we have in russia, because the impression is that they have an inexhaustible amount of them. sanctions, but as far as barrel artillery and ammunition are concerned, their stocks are really large, and the armed forces of ukraine are directing efforts to destroy ammunition warehouses to launch rockets at artillery batteries, where for how much how long russia will be able to continue this war depends on our desire to continue providing support to ukraine, but also on stability in the kremlin, because it seems that it is very strong there, it is doubtful that the russian authorities are ready to continue providing

monolithic strong support to president putin. elites, we must do everything possible to contribute to this by bringing true information to the russian people, the more funerals they see, the faster they will understand that this whole story about the reasons for the attack on ukraine is nothing more than a fable, young soldiers needlessly die in a war unleashed by vladimir putin, at the same time every russian has already begun to feel the results of the imposed sanctions, convinced that such pressure on the kremlin will have a powerful effect, i cannot imagine ahead, but i definitely see a lot of opportunities for us. what do you think the

kremlin is afraid of? putin is afraid, in particular, it is about the dimension of the russian-ukrainian war, he is afraid of everything you mentioned, the russians did not expect the kremlin did not expect that ukraine would give such a worthy fightback, that the people of ukraine would stand up, that there would be such an impressive unity of the ukrainian government. they definitely did not expect this, that is why the naval and the air force of the russian federation is trying to stay away from the radius of defeat of the weapons of the landslide, they are in a strategic shock from the fact that the west so united in terms of diplomatic and economic sanctions, i am in frankfurt in

in germany, where people talk every day about the need to move away from the consumption of russian gas, this is the reality now, when we also talk about the need to support ukraine , ukrainian flags hang everywhere, in particular, here in frankfurt, the support is really palpable, and we owe a great deal to this president biden for his efforts to unite all those willing to support ukraine we understand that this will not last forever, as each country faces its own internal challenges, in particular the elections in the usa, people are worried about gas shortages, inflation and other war-related issues the biggest concern remains the issue of the export of ukrainian grain, what will happen if it is not possible to transport it to the countries of the middle east and asia, that is, the challenges are really great, but we are holding together and i think the kremlin

is in a strategic shock in this regard, we understand that several things happened in the black sea basin of our extremely important victories over the russians , in particular. we managed to sink their flagship of the black sea fleet, the cruiser moscow. of the crimean bridge is a great opportunity to strike the russian transport and logistics system. it would be such a symbolic strike that is very important. however, one should not forget that the advantage is now on the side of russia, in particular with regard to the artillery and missile strikes that they inflict on the innocent civilian population of ukraine, a very important aspect the ability to express military aircraft in the airspace in which they fly and

launch missiles, as well as harvest russian warships is convinced that the general staff is correct prioritized, and the fact that the russians fear for the crimean bridge only emphasizes their general concern, the massive missile attacks that the russians threaten are about the so-called strikes on command posts, although very often they openly aim at civilian infrastructure, civilians die , and i would also like to clarify how likely it is there is the entry of belarus into the war against ukraine, in my opinion, belarus has no desire to enter this war, they understand that russia will lose , they do not want to be chained to russia, but president lukashenko continues to play this game, trying to appease putin by staying out of the conflict, to be honest, the belarusian

ground forces will not be able to do anything special because they lack the capabilities. despite this, they are giving russia new opportunities to carry out strikes from its own country. it is a great pity that the time for our conversation ran out. i am grateful to you, mr. generals, for the frank analysis on the air of the tv channel espresso gadles america. glory to ukraine. i want to remind our tv viewers that they were currently working in on the air of the espresso tv channel, lieutenant general ben hollis is one of the leading american military experts, the former commander of the troops in the united states in europe. and now on the air of the espresso tv channel, mark fegin, a member of the russian opposition, a well-known blogger, a former member of the state duma, glory to ukraine, mark is glad to see you in the studio of the espresso tv channel. well, and the key question is unpleasant news, i.e. to the mouth of

boris johnson, the british prime minister, we understand that this will have significant consequences, and here the question is not about british politics of any kind of strategic global security, we are talking about a specific friend of the ukrainian people who helped us with everything he could. how can this affect our ukrainian situation now? it is necessary to say directly that he is not just a big friend - it is clear . in many ways, he was such that he was an element that would stabilize support, i will say so when there were fluctuations in the plan of the dredge, or in terms of the rate of armament, you understand whether to agree or continue the war, still he threw it on this bowl vesov in the last plus to that, you still have to say directly that you are looking at the sevens, he is the first one publicly

if he wants to troll putin to such a degree that moscow was forced to react to the notes of the protest to send about the expressed ego and bena street of the minister of defense, about this syndrome in short, he did not like it very much, and when they actually made many concessions , let them explain it with complexes. johnson himself, from the point of view of supporting ukraine in its struggle for sovereignty and territorial creation in the war, it was definitely not more favorable. will it change here with the arrival of someone ? in general, can it not be changed? well, of course, that role is a locomotive, and in the politics of support, it will probably be difficult to repeat it because

johnson is very charismatic figures and a person everywhere with money, this is very important hardware games of the politburo, so to speak, the mouth of the british churchill, yes, on the other hand, literally a couple of minutes ago, we finished our conversation with general ben hodges, the former commander of the united states ground forces on the continent, and he clearly and directly says that putin - the creams are now in a strategic pass, now the key issue of ukraine is just to hold out for a certain period and according to his american calculations, a tangible breakthrough will occur in 2-3 weeks, in a few weeks, the main thing is that ukraine does not lose hope in what is happening , because the kremlin is showing a hard-headed stubbornness the logic that was shown by stalin to zhukov, i.e. to attack any fortified area, throw corpses at everything, yes , that's exactly how he is today, and this

table, by the way, wait a-a, i'm walking in the world, look at this very important phrase, he said, he said, you have to hold on, you have to be able to stand this is some period, you know, by the way, here is the letter of the washington declaration, the fifth article of nato, it also begins to act there, it gives three months to gather forces and start acting, remember the scandal when the estonian president and you know that eh so, the concept stipulates that we, as a nato country, will have to remain in the annexation for 108 days until the nato forces tighten up and begin their own hostilities for de-occupation, understand that estonia opposes moscow and complicate it. temporary varnish, so here it is, including, it means that it will last until the letter begins to work in full, and i will say that these are sanctions and in the online technical region in moscow itself, when the problems will already begin with with certain types of weapons and ammunition, and

this cannot be included. obligate private businesses to allocate their own opportunities for any damage to production and so on 4.5 months, but they are also spent, so the key issue is the supply of weapons . they are produced

piece by piece, actually speaking, they shelled eh warehouses eh manpower equipment and so on. well, that's it the last petrushatina is about the revelations of the secretary of the russian security council, patroshev, testify that this whole military history is for a long time, that is, this is the impression or they are simply simulating their readiness to continue the military campaign, it is not yet known how long it will be until the achievement of some, it is not clear what goals. let's talk, mark, about these goals and about the real potential of their capabilities, yes, they can puff out their cheeks as much as they need. secondly, there is also boasting, which means demonstrations of the amount of confidence that the operation is sold as much as it is needed, it means that every time it is planned, it is phase by phase, and so on . these are statements that should be

sweetened in general. they took severodonetsk lysychansk let everything be taken from there, but there with the following 65% of all troops in the territory of ukraine to occupy 20% of its territory, naturally of course they have these local successes ukraine is enough - it is too much success from its own country. it is obvious in such obvious ones. yes, i don’t know the occupation of kherson to be like that. it’s not enough. let’s say that there is enough in moscow to demonstrate the victory. only exclude, er, they captured lysychansk or north donetsk, clearly not, but on the other hand, definitely there is also methodicality in this and the impassability of the understanding that they cannot go back, that is, the situation is difficult for them and it is hopeless because they will retreat or lose one of the two. yes, this will mean political death as a minimum because the war was overturned within russia because they didn’t expect it

when they started. they didn’t evaluate these risks. putin is from a conversation with macron. i will be talking to myself for a week, they will talk to each other already from kiev. hello makron. yes , you can hear me talking. you can hear me. he doesn’t know yet what this fiasco near kiev is, and it will affect everything in the future. the party understands this. the arrow had to justify itself and with the second show this to the people, that is, it is necessary to show. and you look at the army or go to hockey, he says, that is, of course and unconditionally, we understand that moscow has no way out, she has to fight, she has to stand up, she has to go further, and to go further to kiev, but the second question is, does she really have it? opportunities if she has them because in my

opinion no, let's analyze the specific facts . there is such a number. well, there are bright combiners, you can take cops at gunpoint and so on, we understand that. yes, but on the other hand, we understand that these units will not be as combat-capable as the kremlin would like, but the kremlin people they can also push part of their troops there, with which they can withdraw from the luhansk direction , that is, there is also such a fear. yes, they will transport them there quietly in cattle trucks, i don’t know, not in one day, of course. well, in two weeks, for example, they will place them under the border and then once and whether they will drive it or not, it is theoretically possible, but we would see it because it is impossible to bring the army to the borders, regardless of whether it is from ukraine

directly or to the belarusian border, or so that no one sees it and does not understand that there are definitely some forces there especially of the russian army, well, after all, we live in the xxi century, all these things can't be invisible, that is, satellite intelligence, i'm sure, the americans help ukraine a lot, except with data. i don't know, but i assume that's why in fact this is the main intelligence agency of the ministry of defense of ukraine, the same thing. i think this information will be. we will not see a concentration of even belarusian troops in the form of military formations that could appear and move to the territory of ukraine. this means that most likely, after all, they cannot break lukashenko and he is trying in different ways to get out of this stalemate, this trap will pop out, that's how i see it, because he keeps the rhetoric in the esculpatory, but in reality he didn't mean

anything. i agree, mark luke doesn't want it, he just doesn't want it, but he doesn't have a lot of choice, you know how it was formulated for him, yes, he wants to live, so to speak, try, that's all, how will he act . как consumables как ето livestock straight from the cat cart let's go there straight pochemu because it's so obvious if what happened what's going wrong is how they live muscovite oh no it's not to us that's all let him be there alone alone alone alone with us how would you know forget here enough and if he sees that no one wants to fight himself. and why did i hear a very important argument about this? well, he will abandon all his security forces, here are these thieves from the ammonites, there are some others, eh, they did not sign the contract for this, they did not hesitate to die and they are not fools here in part they die, they know very well one thing at the ak

baptism, they ask people to shove batons there, and the second part is to meet their own, yes , the hot ones from the battles and the tsarskotsa will not be, i will not be, oh, you belarusians choose all the people from the field. no, this is all going to be harsh. gomel and so on, that is, there will not be a simple story here, if he does not fly to moscow, he will fly to minsk, not far away, and he will also drive and cover all his palaces and all his rubber bands of what he does not understand. i assure you on p kerendenshikom considers where he will fly, he is not a fool , the second question is whether moscow will issue an ultimatum. so, either a gun or do what you are told, we don’t understand how it all works for them, if eh says exactly that. maidservant he made another important mistake. that 's exactly what lukashyn is doing to him
