the territory that is temporarily occupied by the entire at the beginning of the great war, we russians had already lost in ukraine , 38,850 people, 1,704 tanks, 3,912 armored fighting vehicles , 859 artillery systems, 251 salvo missile systems, 113 air defense systems, 221 aircraft, 188 helicopters 2,781 units of automobile equipment, 15 ships, boats, 167 cruise missiles, 710 drones, 72 units of special equipment. and disarmament on international

issues p mykhailo good day good health and thank you for participating in our program congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so mr. mykhailo let's let's start our conversation with a general analysis of the situation that is developing on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine, the enemy, through the mouth of sergei lavrov , announced yesterday that the u.s. has such an opportunity and is threatening to geographically expand the boundaries of the so-called special military operation, in other words , war do the russians today have the ability to change the situation not only in the east and the south, but also to move to the center or the north of the ukrainian state? well, in fact , we never had any illusions about the tasks of this war on the part of russia, this is the complete occupation of ukraine - this is the complete destruction of the ukrainian state - this is the

creation of one or more puppet states in the place of modern independent ukraine, and in this regard, any statements of putin's sandy laurels and so on do not change anything at all, because in reality everything is decided on the field battle e their statements e-e especially from the point of view that e-e the tasks of the so-called special military operation will be achieved in any case regardless of e time and so on or resources they mean nothing because after all everything will to be decided specifically in the theater of war what is happening now and why is russia talking about it because in fact on february 25 they received a message of a strategic defeat, so they already understood on the 25th that those plans and intelligence were the decisions that were made the day before and the decisions to carry out this

operation were wrong, they were wrong and they led to the strategic defeat of russia on february 25, they already understood it, then they tried to achieve at least some operational successes and that succeeded in the south partially and in the donbass also very, very partially, they suffered huge losses, you just announced about them and showed them how significant they are. this is the first time in the history of russia and even the soviet union after the end of the second world war. such losses are borne by these troops now they are trying to achieve uh tactical successes because after ukraine about three weeks ago to use the highmars high-precision long-range salvo missile systems finally transferred to ukraine and now more there will be mlrsm-270 - the situation on the eu front has

finally changed. ukraine got the opportunity to deliver high-precision strikes deep into the enemy's positions, destroying command posts , ammunition warehouses and supply lines. and what is very important is the air defense system, because russia has very powerfully saturated its ranks with air defense systems and ukrainian manned and unmanned aviation had problems with supporting our ground troops, now the situation has begun to change rapidly and in fact these are historical statements that we will make somewhere there referendums. we are preparing for other territorial acquisitions and so on. all this has absolutely no connection with the reality of what is actually happening on the battlefield in donbas. it can be seen that after ukraine stopped the supply of powerful supplies of ammunition to the front edge, russia is now not

capable of creating a so-called shaft of fire when it created it in the battles for severodonetsk lysychansk , and in fact this time the offensive has stopped. positions, but as a rule , during the last weeks, the ukrainian troops manage to push them back and the russians do not manage to do anything here in the southern direction, we are preparing for counterattack and offensive actions, i would say even operations, and this is especially clearly visible because of the way the ukrainian troops are preparing the field battle in english, it is called pre-pration battlefield when strikes are carried out, for example, on elements of critical infrastructure that are really critical for the russians on the same antonov bridge and er on er objects such

near novaya kakhovka itself, this means that the situation is under the control of the ukrainian troops, and the ukrainian troops have now begun to dictate the agenda, especially what is happening in the south? two weeks ago, mr. mykhailo, the minister of defense of the russian federation, serhii shoigu, reported to putin about what is the successes of the russian army in the so-called liberation of the luhansk region, he spoke about the successes in the donetsk direction, at the same time, in a recent analysis of the washington institute of war, it is said that even in the donbas direction russia is unlikely to be able to seize large cities such as slavyansk and bakhmut, it is not at all obvious that russia is able to generate additional forces and means to realize these ambitions, even the maintenance of the occupied territories of zaporizhzhia and kherson regions is not guaranteed, according to analysts from the american

institute for the study of war, considering these conclusions and based on your conclusions, what can the russian federation do in this situation, or can covert mobilization not covert mobilization change the situation, i.e. what can russia do now in order to continue the offensive on all fronts in the east, in the south, and obviously in the north, as an option in order to change the current situation on the battlefield, in fact, based on all the canons of military science, the russians had to mobilize in october-november of last year, then by the end of february, when they started the operation, this reserve would be in a certain way ready to be used in

an operation against ukraine in a strategic operation against ukraine, but due to the fact that they still in 2010 adopted a doctrinal position in which it is said that the russian army is moving to the so-called formations and units of constant readiness, they decided that in the post-soviet space they are so powerful and dominate these spaces in these spaces that in principle they can afford to fight and precisely in parts of constant readiness without mobilizing and what we see now, they missed all these terms needed in order to mobilize and prepare at least at a minimal level e units of their reconciliation, and that is why i believe that at this time they can really announce, uh, hidden sets, hidden recruiting, they don't succeed in mobilizing the official, because there are reasons for

that. storage that was behind the urals and er to the urals, and that is why they do not want to carry out a mobilization so that this does not happen because it is necessary to recruit, for example, 200-300 thousand people, they must be provided with everything necessary, and for this, weapons are needed, all of them are needed necessary resources for uniforms and so on. i'm sure i don't have it. it was all stolen because they believed that in fact the war would be fought in units of constant readiness. that's what they started on february 24. well, it quickly became clear that they were not up to the task. thank you, thank you, mr. mykhailo . bamukka mamulashvili joined us a soldier, the founder, who is the commander of the georgian national legion, i congratulate you, mom, you hear us, unfortunately , unfortunately, we have lost contact with mom

, mamulashvili, so, therefore, we are talking about the situation that is taking place on the eastern and southern fronts, as well as the possible northern front, we have already partially started talking about it on the northern front, and of course we have been talking about it quite often in the last month, because oleksandr lukashenko, the self-proclaimed president of belarus , repeats quite often that we are ready to fight , we are ready to fight back against the western countries. well, he is trying to present it as a war between the russian federation or, let's say, the slavic world, with the north atlantic alliance or with the west. anyway, the intelligence of ukraine says that there are not enough forces in belarus yet, at the same time, some experts say that two or three weeks will be

enough to transfer ukrainian e-e to belarus, give russian e-e troops in order to organize an offensive on e -e ukraine and all the same, he joined our broadcast in muka-mulashvili. e p mamuka. i congratulate you. thank you for joining our broadcast. we are talking about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts. how do you currently assess the operational situation in luhansk region, donetsk region, and also in kherson oblast, because in kherson oblast, ukraine is trying to counter-attack and go on a counteroffensive. unfortunately, the connection is quite difficult with mulashvili. it is located in the east. i understand that's why we can't always hear mom, mom, and moushvili. let's

go back to belarus and the belarusian threat, mr. mykhailo. how are you ? now look at the perspective of the fact that 20 or 30 thousand belarusians can join the russian-ukrainian war and, in general, about the situation on the northern border , after all, 1100 km of the common border with the republic belarus yes, of course, i am sure that lukashenko personally promised putin that he would take part in this war, perhaps more than 10 times, as lukashenko is able to do, but as far as i understand, there is a kind of silent sabotage on lukashenko's part, that is, he demonstrates that he, of all forces is trying to prepare for the start of a military operation against ukraine, but something is constantly preventing him. then he needs to create a separate southern district in order to manage these troops, then he needs to conduct training, then he

it is necessary to form new aviation units to equip the su-25 e-e with devices for delivering nuclear strikes or asks russia to hand over the iskanders and so on, what is the main motive of lukashenka not to participate in this war is open although he is already an accomplice officially declared here there is no doubt, because in fact, on february 24, the main blow to the capital of ukraine was delivered by belarus, and he is not shirking his responsibility in any way. but he still has hope that it can be avoided when putin's regime falls, he may somehow avoid responsibility from the point of view of the international court of justice, that's why he thinks that and i think his assessments are that if he intervenes in the war with ukraine, immediately

his troops will be destroyed by ukrainian troops because a little bit of military training and a little bit of experience and the moral and psychological state of the troops are different. i will remind you that belarusian troops have never in their history participated in armed conflicts and even international peacekeeping operations . not they took, they have not been anywhere in any missions, and therefore their quality is very doubtful. i see that a colleague has joined mamulashvili panama, pain, you hear us well. yes, i listen to you, it’s just a very bad connection . the situation is your assessment of the situation in the east and south of ukraine, as i have already said in the luhansk region, donetsk region, and also in the kherson region, where the ukrainian military is moving into a counteroffensive and trying to destroy the infrastructure that

helps the occupiers hold the kherson region artillery systems of the west, in principle , we are making quite a lot of progress in some directions, i will not specify the specific direction now , but in general, the situation is already leaning in our favor and with slow steps, but we are moving forward , we have been talking a lot over the past few days about antoniv bridge, where shells from heimers flew several times, and let 's explain to our viewers. for a possible e cauldron for the russian occupiers mamuk please oh, i apologize, i just

didn’t hear the questions, i was interrupted for the last few days, we very often talk about the antonov bridge, which comes under fire from the ukrainian armed forces and the heimers in kherson, let’s explain to our viewers what this means bridge for the russian army for the russian occupiers and can the destruction of this bridge lead to the destruction of this bridge again mamuka excuse me, can the destruction of this bridge lead to the cauldron for the russian occupiers, mr. mykhailo, yes, of course if you look at the map, you can see very clearly that the antoniv bridge is the only logistics line connecting, in principle, the right and left bank of the dnieper and actually the occupying forces with each other, if you can

say in kherson and as in the part that was preparing to advance in the direction of kryvyi rih and actually, those occupation forces that left crimea and are standing on the left bank of the dnieper, that is, if we interrupt this artery, it means that the russian troops who are in kherson, and in general, this group on the right bank of the dnieper, they cannot receive additional ammunition cannot receive additional equipment cannot receive reinforcements a person in the composition and after some time of such a situation in fact this group will be forced to either surrender or whatever in this way to solve this issue there i do not know fight to the last breath or they will choose such options no i know, but actually the destruction of this bridge, there is still

one more bridge for new buses, but there are still 100 km to get there. the command is now carefully playing a game of chess when they are driving russian groups as if on a hunt, what is in kharkov, what is in the kryvyi rih direction, in certain such bags pockets and uh, we are just watching it. i hope that soon we will be dealing with very interesting events you have on in mind, these events will relate to the main direction that the secretary of the national security and defense council oleksia reznikova and president zelensky, the minister of defense of ukraine oleksia reznikova, spoke about that we will advance and release, i repeat, not only in the kherson region, but also in other regions that are the state of our borders as of 1991, how do you generally feel about the general framework that is currently being

set, it is clear that we want to liberate our territory but in what perspective is this even possible, in fact it all depends on, if it does not sound banal, western aid because the ukrainian army is ukrainian the ukrainian state and nation have demonstrated that we are ready to fight the russians as far as possible for example, there were no martians, they outnumbered us in artillery and could create a barrage of fire, now they cannot create this and we are already breaking the situation at the operational level, they can no longer do anything to us, that is, of course they can throw manpower smearing its flesh on the previous border. it is very difficult for the ukrainian defenders, but at the same time, the ukrainian artillery will destroy their command posts of the logistics of the air defense system, which means that the ukrainian aviation will be able to work more actively. thus, it is already clear that russia can no

longer offer us anything new, they will simply have the only option - it is simply to do the concentrated mass tactics of the second world war and they cannot afford anything more about nuclear weapons, i will not say, it seems to me that they have already lost that a chance when, er, they could launch a nuclear strike and somehow the international community would still be thinking about what to do with russia. i think that everyone in putin's entourage already understands that launching even a powerful tactical a nuclear strike will mean the end of modern russia, in any case, of the putin regime - there would definitely be no alternatives and very soon, therefore everything now depends on western aid, the sooner we have a concentration of such long-range missile systems of salvo fire, the sooner western aviation, the more opportunities we have from the point of view of reconnaissance

and the mass of high-precision fire, the faster we will be able to liberate the territory. well, just not in russia . to hold these territories, that is, if we destroy their military infrastructure in the occupied territories, it is only a matter of time, and a small one. now we in the kherson region will observe it when they start to either surrender or retreat, and no matter what, we have already declared it with demands to strengthen er strengthen to grow er increase there and how is he still there? well, he made a few visits there, as it were, to the front edge and said that now let's advance in a serious way. i'm sorry, it looks a little unconvincing because and it is so clear that russia has been advancing since february 24 and would like to end this war with a victory, but i like that angry video. do you remember when the

general held a parent meeting in some military unit? he said that we can end the war now, but we will look like a beaten dog, that is they now have a bare argument not to end this war, not to frame putin and not frame great russia, because it looks like a beaten dog, and therefore we have no other option but to really increase our capabilities, just them destroy well, by the way, i absolutely agree with you that when lavrov says that we will geographically expand the so-called special military operation, he is certainly cunning because, as we correctly noted on february 24, this special operation actually included geographically the kyiv region, the zhytomyr region, the chernihiv region sumy region , kharkiv region, luhansk region, donetsk region, kherson region, zaporozhye region, well, in fact, five or six regions were attacked at the same time, not to mention the number of regions that were attacked by non-winged forces

missiles and military airfields and civilian infrastructure and military infrastructure, that is why they are now trying to present it that we will now deploy and not only be in the so-called lpr and dpr although they have been deployed for a long time, let's say so, but were forced to roll back when we talk about the future and about the future, the future course of the war, we obviously have to remember that in a lower situation, russia in ukraine tested almost all the weapons it has, i mean except nuclear and chemical, thank god weapons or nuclear and chemical weapons. this is the last argument that they have or do they still have any. there are weapons that they always say there are some uh-uh newest weapons, well, this is very reminiscent of 43-44 years when hitler uh-uh

talked about the wunderwaffe about are there any super weapons out there that will help the germans go into a counteroffensive during the second world war, do they have such weapons that they are not talking about and we know well, in fact, putin's visit to iran showed that all these stories, all these myths are just myths because i think it's a shame for the state, which is even under during the war, it received a billion euros a day from naftogaz from europe, they could not create, for example , attack or er effective er reconnaissance drones and now they have arrived and putin personally came to iran in order to ask for the transfer of at least a couple of dozen of these to them of drones in ukraine, which has been under sanctions for more than half a century, well, that is, it is a shame and this is a real verdict of the putin

regime regarding its technical achievements of analog cameras and so on, that is, they have, they can have individual developments, individual developments there all kinds of super hyper, uh, super hyper speed missiles , but all these are experimental samples that have nothing to do with industrial production, and i really believe that the only argument they have left from the point of view of the military is only the possibility of using the tactics of the first world war , that is, to leave to take unprecedented steps to tighten the nuts, to announce a mobilization, to call everyone there , the male population, and in fact, with three lines, to launch such a horde into ukraine, for example, to send a million people to donetsk region trying to simply push through the mass, push through with bodies, simply attack ukrainian defensive positions and in this way it is possible to achieve some success, i think that uh, again, this

tactic cannot be successful, that is why i say that it is very important that the western aid of high-tech weapons comes to us quickly and concentrated so that we can contrast the counter -tactics of the 20th century with our tactics and strategy in the 21st century, and it works, as the practice of using highmars shows, again, this is not a magic wand, but within the framework of the system which is already moving just acts on the a-a doctrine of the 21st century reconnaissance strike complex of network-centric warfare when information about the coordinates of the enemy's targets is received at the command post and enters the means of destruction within a few seconds and these e-e targets are destroyed this is the sign of a modern army is not a number, not millions of poorly trained soldiers, but just the use of the

entire system, of course, with professionals, the basis of the army is the same, let the masses be ukrainian soldiers, but the high-mars in their years is exactly what we have now necessary well, by the way, yesterday olena zelenska - the first lady of ukraine spoke before the us congress and for the first time it happened that the first lady of a foreign country spoke in the congress of the united states of america and there mrs. olena spoke about the fact that ukraine needs weapons in order to stop russia she asked the congressmen to continue the supply of weapons and anti-aircraft systems to the armed forces of ukraine to protect ukraine help us stop russian terror against the ukrainian people she said let's listen to what zelensky said i i appeal to you on behalf of all those who died, on behalf of those who lost arms and legs, on behalf of people

who are still alive and whole, on behalf of those who are fighting and who are waiting for their loved ones from the frontline. i am asking now for something that i would never want to ask. i am asking you have weapons, weapons, not to wage war on someone else's land, to protect your home and the right to wake up alive in it. this was the speech of elena zelenska . we will look further because the united states and others the partners will deliver to ukraine at least 8 more highs systems, these are the results of the fourth meeting of the contact group called rammstein , because we know that the first meeting was held in april, there were ministers of law, defense ministers, and almost 40
