condition , unfortunately, two died. densely shelled mykolaiv and the surrounding villages, at the same time the mayor of melitopol, ivan fedorov, who is under russian occupation , reported explosions and a strong fire in the city at night earlier in telegram channels and mass media it was reported that there may be strikes by the armed forces of ukraine on the territory temporarily occupied by the whole at the beginning of the great war, the russians had already lost 38,850 people in ukraine, 1,704 tanks, 3,912 armored fighting vehicles , 859 artillery systems, 251 rocket salvo fire systems, and 113 anti-aircraft weapons of defense 221 aircraft 188 helicopters

2781 units of automotive equipment 15 ships boats 167 cruise missiles 710 drones 72 units of special equipment about the situation is currently taking place on the eastern and southern fronts , we will speak today with our guests , we are now in touch with mykhailo samusier, military expert, deputy director of the center for research of the army, conversion and disarmament on international issues p. mykhailo, good day, good health, and thank you for participating in to our program congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so, mr. mykhailo, let's start our conversation with a general analysis of the situation that is developing on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine by the enemy sergey lavrov yesterday stated that hm has such an opportunity and is threatening to geographically expand the boundaries of the so-called

special military operation, simply put , war, do the russians today have the opportunity to change the situation not only in the east and south, but also to move to the center or to 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 in this regard, any statements of putin's sandy laurels and so on, they do not change anything at all, because in fact everything is decided on the battlefield, and their statements, especially from the point of view that the tasks of the so-called special military operation will be achieved in any - in any case,

regardless of time and so on or resources, they do not mean anything, since everything will be decided specifically in the theater of war. what is happening now and why is russia talking about it , because in fact february 25 has come to them the announcement of a strategic defeat, so they already understood on the 25th that those plans and intelligence, those decisions that were made the day before and the decision to conduct this operation were false and incorrect 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 they succeeded in this in the south partially and in 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 since the end of the second world war. such losses are being borne by these troops now. they are trying to achieve uh-uh tactical successes because after ukraine about three weeks ago, to use the high-precision long-range missile systems that were finally transferred to ukraine of highmars volley fire and now there will be 270 more, the situation on the front has finally changed, ukraine got the opportunity to deliver high-precision strikes in the depth of the enemy's positions destroying command posts, ammunition depots, supply lines, and what is very important is air defense systems, because russia has saturated its ranks very powerfully with air defense systems, and ukrainian manned and unmanned aviation had problems

supporting our ground troops, now the situation has begun to change rapidly and in fact these historical statements that we will hold referendums there somewhere. we are preparing for other territorial acquisitions and so on. all this has absolutely no connection whatsoever with what is happening in fact, on the battlefield in donbass, it can be seen that after ukraine stopped supplying the powerful supply of ammunition to the front line, russia is now unable to create a so-called fire shaft when it created it in the battles for severodonetsk, lysychansk, and in fact at this time the offensive has stopped. they are trying to use assault actions to create some advances a-a into the tactical depth of ukrainian positions, but as a rule , ukrainian troops a-a during the last weeks manage to repel them and the russians have nothing here

it is possible in the southern direction, we are preparing for contrasting and offensive actions, i would say even operations, and this is especially clearly visible due to the fact that the ukrainian troops are preparing the battlefield in english, it is called pre-pration battlefield, when strikes are carried out, for example, on elements of critical infrastructure which are of really critical importance for the russians along the same antoniv bridge and er on er objects the same near novaya kakhovka, this means that the er situation is controlled by ukrainian troops and 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, sergei shoigu, reported to putin about 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 capture 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, but taking into account these conclusions and your conclusions, what can the russian federation do in this situation, or can covert mobilization it is no longer a hidden mobilization to change the situation, i.e. what can russia do now in order to continue the offensive on all fronts

in the east and the south and obviously on to 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 should have mobilized in october-november of last year, then by the end of february, when they started the operation, this should have the reserve would be in a certain way ready to use a-a in operations against ukraine in strategic operations against ukraine, but due to the fact that back in 2010 they adopted doctrinal provisions in which it is said that the russian army is moving to the so-called connection and units of constant readiness, they decided that in the post-soviet space, they are so powerful and so er dominate in these

in these er spaces that, in principle, they can afford to fight and precisely with units of constant readiness without having to mobilize and what we see now that they have missed all these deadlines necessary to mobilize and prepare at least at the minimum level the units of their coordination and therefore i believe that at this time they can really announce hidden sets, hidden recruiting, they do not succeed in mobilizing the official, because there are reasons for that. well, for example, i am sure that the russian generals know that for 30 years, a lot of things have been stolen from the storage bases that were located both outside the urals and, er, to the urals, and that is why they do not want to spend mobilization in order to prevent all this from happening, since we had to recruit, for example, 200-300 thousand people, they must be provided with everything necessary, and for this we also need weapons, we need all the necessary resources, uniforms, and so on

i'm sure i don't have this, it's all stolen because they believed that in fact the war would be fought in units of constant readiness, the fact that they started on february 24, and it quickly became clear that they were not up to it . i congratulate you, mom, can you hear us, unfortunately , unfortunately, we have lost contact with mom , mamulashvili, so we are talking about the situation that is developing on the eastern and southern fronts, as well as and the possible northern front, we have already partially started talking about it about the northern front, and of course we have been talking about it quite often over the last month, because oleksandr lukashenko, the self-proclaimed president of belarus,

quite often repeats that we are ready to fight they are ready to retaliate against the western countries there. 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, after all, the intelligence of ukraine says that so far there are not enough forces in belarus, at the same time some experts say that two or three weeks will be enough to send ukrainian and russian troops to belarus in order to organize an attack on ukraine and yet mamuka-mulashvili joined mamuka, i welcome 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, as well as

in kherson region, since kherson region is ukraine? is trying to counterattack to counterattack. unfortunately, communication is quite difficult with mulashvili in the east. i understand that's why we can't always hear the new godfather mulashvili. let's go back to belarus and the belarusian threat, mr. mykhailo. how are you now ? on the prospect of 20 or 30,000 belarusians joining the russo-ukrainian war and, in general, on the situation on the northern border of the 1,100 km border with the republic of belarus. 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 is trying with all his might to prepare for the start of a military operation against ukraine, but something constantly hinders him. so he needs to create a separate southern district in order to manage these troops, then he needs to conduct training, then he needs to form new aviation units to 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 lukashenko's main motive for not participating in this war? although he has already been officially declared a co-conspirator, there is no doubt here because he is really for on february 24,

the main attack on the capital of ukraine was just delivered by belarus, here he does not shirk his responsibility. to somehow avoid responsibility from the point of view of the international court of justice, that's why he thinks that and i think his assessment is that if he intervenes in the war with ukraine, his troops will immediately be destroyed by ukrainian troops because a little military training and a little, and the experience and morale-psychological state of the troops is different . i will remind you that the belarusian troops have never in their history participated in armed conflicts and even international peacekeeping operations . they have never taken part in any missions. that's why their quality is very doubtful. i see that a

colleague has joined mamulashvili. panama pain, do you hear us well? yes, i listen to you, it's just very bad. said in the luhansk region of donetsk region and also in the kherson region, where the ukrainian military is going on a counter-offensive and trying to destroy the infrastructure that helps the occupiers hold the kherson region, the artillery systems of the west are, in principle, quite yes, we are moving forward successfully in some directions, i will not specify the specific direction now , but in general, the situation is already leaning in our favor - we are moving

forward with slow steps, we have been talking quite a lot about the antonov bridge several times over the past few days shells from heimers arrived and uh, let's explain to our viewers, i'm talking now and i'm turning to my mother, to mykhailo, what does the flashing antonov bridge mean for the kherson region and for kherson and for a possible e cauldron for the russian occupiers mom, please oh, i am asking for forgiveness, how about the last one, the question was interrupted, the last few days we have been talking very often about the antonov bridge, which is under fire from the ukrainian armed forces and heimers in kherson, let's explain to our viewers what this bridge means for the russian army, for the russian occupiers and could it be the destruction of

this bridge? mamuka has disappeared again. excuse me, can the destruction of this bridge lead to a cauldron for the russian invaders, mr. mykhailo, yes. of course, if you look at the map, you can clearly see that antoniv bridge is the only logistical line connecting, in principle, the right and left bank of the dnieper and actually the occupation forces with each other, if you can say in kherson and as a part that was preparing to advance in the direction of kryvyi rih and actually those occupation forces that came out of crimea and stand on the left bank of the dnieper, that is, if we cut off this artery, it means that the russian troops located in kherson, and in general, this group on the right bank of the dnieper, they cannot receive additional ammunition

receive additional equipment, they cannot receive reinforcements for the personnel. and after a while such a situation in fact, this group will be forced to either surrender or whatever. in this way, i don’t know how to solve this issue there. i don’t know how to fight until the last breath. i don’t know if they will choose such options , but in fact the destruction of this bridge there is still one bridge with new technologies, but there is still 100 km to go there. let's say it's uh, the ukrainian ukrainian companies, of course, know, that is, the ukrainian command is now carefully playing such a chess game when the party is driven as if on a hunt by russian gangs and that in kharkov such that in the direction of kryvyi rih in certain such bags pockets and uh, we are just watching it. i hope that soon we will be dealing with very interesting events, do you mean these events will

concern the main direction, which was also talked about by the secretary of the national security and defense council oleksiy reznikova, president zelenskyi, minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov, that we will advance and liberate the territory not only of the kherson region, but also in other regions that are as of er our borders as of 1991 how do you generally feel about the general framework that is being set now it is clear that we want to liberate er our territory but in what perspective is this even possible in fact it all depends on if it is banal did not sound from western aid. because the ukrainian army is ukrainian, the ukrainian state and nation demonstrated that we are ready to fight the russians as much as possible while we did not have, for example, the martians, they

outnumbered us in artillery and could create they can't create a shaft of fire now, and we're already breaking the situation at the operational level, they can't do anything to us, that is, of course they can throw manpower, smearing their meat and the previous border. it's very difficult for the ukrainian defenders, but in parallel 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. and thus it is already clear that russia can no longer offer us anything new, they will the only possibility is simply to do concentrated mass tactics of the second world war and they can't afford anything more about nuclear weapons, i won't tell you, it seems to me that they have already lost the chance when they could launch a nuclear strike and somehow the international community still was thinking about what to do with russia. i

think that everyone in putin's entourage already understands that the launch of even a not-so-powerful tactical nuclear strike will mean the end of modern russia, in any case, of the putin regime - it would definitely there will be no alternatives and very quickly therefore. now everything depends on western aid, the sooner we have a concentration of such long-range salvo missile systems, the sooner of fire, the faster we will be able to liberate the territory well, just not in russia a-a in the current conditions of being able to hold these territories, that is, if we destroy their military infrastructure on 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 how there he is, he did not declare it with the demands to strengthen it, strengthen it, grow it, and increase it there also, he made several visits there, as it were, to the front line and said that now let's advance seriously . i'm sorry, it looks a little unconvincing, because it is so clear that russia is advancing from february 24 and would like to end this war with a victory, but i i like the leaked video, 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 to frame great russia because it looks like a beaten dog, and therefore we have no other option but to really increase our capabilities, just to destroy them. by the way, i absolutely agree with you that when lavrov talks

about the fact that we would geographically expand like this the so-called special military operation. he is certainly cunning because, as we correctly noted on february 24, this special operation was geographically located in kyiv region, zhytomyr region, chernihiv region, sumy region, kharkiv region, luhansk region , donetsk region, kherson region, zaporizhia region, well, in fact, five or six regions there were attacked at the same time and already not to mention the number of areas that were attacked by cruise missiles and military airfields and civilian infrastructure and military infrastructure, so they are now trying to to submit 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, uh, fold down, when we talk about the future and the future course of the war, obviously, mother, we must remember that in the bottom line of the situation russia in

ukraine has tested almost all the weapons it has, i mean except for nuclear, except for chemical thank god uh, that is, these two types of weapons or weapons are nuclear and chemical this is the last argument that they have or do they still have any yes the weapon they always talk about they are talking about some new weapons, well, it is very reminiscent of the year 43-44, when hitler was talking about the wunderwaffe, about some super weapons that are there that will help the germans go into the counteroffensive during the second world war, do they have such weapons about which they don't say. 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 even during the war received a billion euros for a day from naftogaz from europe they could not create, for example strike or er effective er reconnaissance drones and now they have arrived and putin personally came to iran in order to ask to hand over at least a couple of dozen of such drones to ukraine, which has been under sanctions for more than half a century, well, that is, it is a shame and it the real verdict of the putin regime regarding its technical achievements , there are no analogues and so on, that is, they have, they can have individual developments, individual developments there of all kinds of super-hyper, er, super-hyper speed missiles, but all these are experimental samples that do not have any relation to 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 take unprecedented steps to tighten the nuts, to announce mobilization, to call everyone there , the male population, and in fact with send such a horde to ukraine in three lines, for example, send a million people to the donetsk region, trying to simply push through the masses, push through with bodies, simply throw ukrainian defensive positions and in this way it is possible to achieve some success, i think that ah, again, this tactic cannot be successful, so i tell her that it is very important that the western aid of high-tech weapons comes to us quickly and in a concentrated manner so that we can oppose the counter- tactics of the 20th century in our tactics and strategy in the 21st century, and it works, as practice shows in the last high-mars, again, this is not a magic wand, but within the framework of a system

that is already transitioning, it works on the a-a doctrine of the 21st century of the reconnaissance strike complex network-centric warfare, when information about the coordinates of the enemy's targets is sent to the command post and reaches the means of impression within a few seconds, and these targets are destroyed. of the whole system, of course, with professionals, the basis in the army is all the same, let the masses. these are ukrainian soldiers, but high-mars in their years, this is exactly what we need now. 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. elena spoke about the fact that
