prepares its generals to threaten war with ukraine. but isn't russia itself exhausted after months of hostilities and whether ukraine itself already has the strength and capabilities to stabilize the front line, start counteroffensive actions and liberate territories captured by the enemy, my name is serhii zhorits, i am the director of the defense express company, which , together with the espresso channel, aims to cover the most relevant events in the life of the armed forces and our state and my interlocutors today are viktor kevlyuk, reserve colonel and experts of the center for defense strategies, mr. viktor. i welcome you to the espresso channel. good evening, mr. serhiy, first of all question, please outline this current stage of hostilities between ukraine and russia after this operational pause, which seems to have already ended. in my opinion, the operational pause has not yet ended, but

today we have a situation where the enemy is unable to conduct active actions in several operational directions. at the same time, we see that so to speak, inertia from his success in the area of ​​severodonetsk and lysychansk, which allows him to currently form a strike group that will most likely act in the direction from the north to south a-a advancing to kramatorsk and slavyansk, the enemy conducts defensive actions in the southern direction, not in the kherson area of ​​davidov turn under a crooked corner in the area of ​​the births of the zaporizhzhia region, certain actions are active in the north of the kharkiv region in the siversky

direction for 1000 the enemy indicates their presence by shelling mainly civilian infrastructure in the border strip from its territory, the armed forces of the republic of belarus simulate military activity on its territory, a certain group seems to protect the area in an intensified mode of the ukrainian-belarusian border in the chornomorsk sea of ​​azov operational zone, the enemy is blocking civilian shipping and trying to support the actions of its forces on land from the sea, that is, briefly, please, in your opinion, what military and political goals will the russian military leadership strive to achieve, especially considering this recent statement lavrov that if the west will provide us with offensive weapons, the scale of this special operation will be

spread over other territory that generally belongs to pay attention to how this will affect these russian orientations in the near future, the official. the ministry of defense and the general staff are ready to disassociate themselves from the statements. hostilities in order to activate them as we need a certain potential with the potential now all is not well of the original group as of february 24, lost more than 80%, and personnel killed

, wounded, sick, missing, the total number of casualties is approximately 17% of the patriotism of the armed forces of the russian federation, in general, the russian group completely lost all armored fighting vehicles and tanks with which they started the operation against ukraine. accordingly, 28% of infantry fighting vehicles and more will suit the tank fleet of the russian federation, the picture means 66% of airplanes, 78% of helicopters, etc. which started the operation against us, this is respectively 16 and 19% of the fleet of airplanes and helicopters in the russian federation, we see an overall significant decrease in the combat potential of the russian armed forces, it should be

borne in mind that the most combat-capable ground troops are fighting in ukraine, and the rest of the nation is the carrier of the rest of the potential is the missile forces of strategic purpose, for example, the railway troops, part of the establishment of the rear, which is in ukraine, well , with all the desire, will not be transferred in accordance with their functionality, that is, the statement of the minister of border affairs of the russian federation turns out to be an empty light on inspection well, but this does not mean that russia will not now try to restore some of its other potential military capabilities, starting from the personnel to restoring the combat potential at the expense of receiving some new or old equipment, such as it is possible to assess the capabilities of russia in a short period of time, so it is necessary to ensure this generation of its combat capabilities, which has been

implemented in the armed forces of the russian federation does not provide for the generation of forces, they have preserved the old soviet template, which was somewhat modernized and adapted to modern requirements, but not in full . i can carry out a mobilization, announce a general, this will eventually lead to a social explosion directly in the russian federation, so they went the way of creating pseudo-volunteer battalions, when the corresponding administrative and territorial subjects are forced to

form some unit there, staff it and hand it over to the armed forces for further preparation of equipment and bringing it to the state of a military unit, in general, the mobilization resource of russia is significant, approximately 15-17 million people, but to collect such a number e-e resource in order to form new military units, in my opinion, this is now impossible in russian realities. in recent years, out of 10, i cannot recall a single successful in the experience of conducting mobilization exercises, they have never been deployed to the size of a brigade , for example, one more nuance, eh, russia lost a significant number of tactical officers in this war , that is, today, eh, they have a situation where

platoon commanders are replaced, well, it is a huge problem to take an officer from the reserve who graduated from the military department in the 80s well, agree, it is unlikely that this person is ready for the introduction of hostilities in modern conditions, to be a leader for his unit and in the future to replace the same commander companies, that is, this imbalance will also have a significant impact on the conduct of events, what we what we see today, first of all, we see that the most high-quality resource is attracted by private military companies, three of them have already been noticed in ukraine, this is the well-known wagner, a little less known league judging by the fact that, well, from the following information, the league is

a unit that has accumulated the best resources that wagner had and performs the most responsible tasks, and the third is a private military campaign redoubt rooted in of the airborne forces of the russian federation, well, it is very close in terms of subject matter and, accordingly, its resources mostly previously served in the airborne forces. as for private military companies, experts note that they are worse equipped than the regular armed forces, but much more effective in the field of pain. they have experience in urban battles and accordingly, we saw their widespread use in battles in popasnaya, lysychansk, severodonetsk, and lyman, that is, the armed forces are left first with the best

secondly, it is worse trained and thirdly, the resource is not motivated by the russians, the vast majority is unclear and what they are fighting for that complex only and if we still evaluate this opportunity to ensure the reinforcement of the russian army with personnel, can we say that within a month or a half they will be able to collect about 35,000 personnel of such a composition and plus 15,000 of this third army corps, or am i somewhat mistaken in the estimates of the recruitment of russian ground forces in the russian federation, as i am not mistaken, 86 subjects if each collects of a battalion, which is not unrealistic, here is somewhere around this figure, and it will be possible to determine how they

can influence these are people who are hastily gathered in something, quickly trained among themselves, they are not coordinated, conventionally, they are called a battalion, realistically , these are groups of people. they are suitable for filling some kind of lie in the defense or to create a numerical advantage in the direction of the attack, er, some local tactical moment, these people will be knocked out quite quickly due to poor training, they are in the majority now proactive, therefore decisive they won't be able to have any influence on the hostilities, but 30,000 is a lot, let's say it's a certain resource that we should pay attention to, and this third corps, which is being formed in mulino with 15,000

personnel, will form with it the good guys or will it be let's say so a separate unit that does not depend on these initiatives in regional e-e directions, the administration of the gorky region of the intercity region announced the formation of as many as four tanks, it is not entirely clear where they are going to take tanks for all this, but judging by that the tank brigade can be formed, we can introduce the matter of the formation of the corps as well when we talk about the fact that the russian army has suffered significant losses in combat equipment. what measures will the russian federation take now to restore its aviation resources? the russian federation, there are few options for solving this problem. so we see, first of all, in the

zaporizhzhia kherson region, the deployment of field support systems for the restoration of weapons and military technicians, i.e. they are trying to do something directly closer to the e-e operational zone, their repair capabilities are limited due to the lack of large repair bodies, such as an example of the repair floor of newly formed divisions, for example, the 150th e-e, which inherited the flag of victory in the russian fetish. she has the repair company of the division and the evacuation work of the division, that is, even the repair of the non-recovery battalion in the division is not available, all these problems have a very serious effect on the situation, the enemy is forced to evacuate huge amounts of damaged weapons to the places

of repair, which the president of ukraine gave a lot, or to do something by attracting repair bodies here. we saw at one of the exercises before the war when the russians formed in the area of ​​the same mulina that you mentioned, the repair was not a recovery train that was going to the area belarus is on training, it seems to have carried out some measures to repair, restore, have a huge impact on problems with the restoration of equipment, they have sanctions because the russians are cut off from supplies
