uncomfortable position russia itself, after months of hostilities, and does ukraine itself already have the strength and capabilities to stabilize the front line, start counteroffensive operations and liberate territories captured by the enemy, my name is serhiy zhoritsy the director of the defense express company, which, together with the espresso channel, strives to cover the most relevant events in the life of the armed forces and our state, and my interlocutor today is viktor kyvlyuk, a reserve colonel and experts of the center for defense strategies, mr. viktor. welcome to the espresso channel. good evening, mr. serhiy, the first question, outline any please, this is the 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 does not able to take active actions in several operational directions. at the same time, we can see, so to speak, the inertia from his success in the northern region and, of course, what actually allows him to currently form a strike group that will act faster than this one in the direction from north to south and advancing on kramatorsk and slovyansk, the enemy is conducting defensive operations in the southern direction, he is not at rest in the kherson region of davidov otrot under the crooked corner in the region of the births of the zaporizhia region, and certain active actions are

taking place in the north of the kharkiv region on 1000 siverskyi direction, the enemy indicates its 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 be guarding a section of the ukrainian-belarusian border in the black sea of ​​azov operational zone in an intensified mode, the enemy is blocking civilian shipping and tries to support the actions of its forces on land from the sea, that is, briefly, please, on yours the idea of ​​what military and political goals the russian military leadership will strive to achieve, especially taking into account lavrov's recent statement that if the west provides

us with offensive weapons, the scale of this special operation will be spread to another territory, which in general means how it will affect these are the russian landmarks of the near future criminally elected by an official. the ministry of defense and the general staff are ready to disassociate themselves from statements that mr. lavrov wants to spread. takes diplomats will come to spread this is an attempt by the kremlin to hint to the west that if you do not stop military aid to ukraine, we are taking active actions in order to activate them as we need a certain potential with the potential now not all is well. we see that in the course of the war in the four months that the russians had from of their original group as

of february 24, lost more than 80% of personnel killed, wounded, sick, missing , the total number of casualties is approximately 17% of the number of the armed forces of the russian federation in general, the group of russians completely lost all armored fighting vehicles and tanks with which they started the operation against ukraine, and this, respectively, is 28% of infantry fighting vehicles and more and percent of the tank fleet of the russian federation. for politicians , the picture means 66% of airplanes, 78% of helicopters are also lost from those that started the operation against us is, respectively, 16 and 19% of the fleet of aircraft and helicopters, we see an overall significant decrease in the

combat potential of russian weapons, it should be borne in mind that the most combat-capable are fighting in ukraine ground troops, and the rest of the carriers are the carriers of the rest of the potential, strategic missile troops, for example, the railway troops, a part of the rear establishment that is in ukraine, well, with all the desire, they will not be transferred in accordance with their functionality, that is, the statement of the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation turns out to be wrong. well, this does not mean that russia now will not try to restore generate some of its other potential military capabilities ranging from personnel to restoring combat potential at the expense of there receiving some kind of new or old equipment , how can you assess the capabilities of russia in a short

period of time, that is, ensure this generation of its combat capabilities, the system implemented in the armed forces of the russian federation does not provide for the generation of words, they have preserved the old soviet template, which was but not in full the russian federation has begun to form a combat active reserve called the bars, and the number is insignificant . general mobilization will eventually lead to a social explosion directly in the russian federation, that is why they went by the way of creating pseudo-volunteer battalions when the

relevant administrative-territorial subjects are forced to form some unit to equip and hand it over to the armed forces for further preparation of equipment and bringing to of the state of the military unit, in general, the mobilization resource of russia is considerable, it is 15-17 million, but to collect such an amount of 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 can not recall a single successful experience of conducting mobilization exercises. brigade

- sized formations, for example, have never been deployed. during the war, a significant number of officers of the tactical branch, that is, today they have a situation where, for which platoon commander, well, it is a huge problem to take an officer from the reserve who graduated from the military department in the 80s. well, agree, this is unlikely a person is ready to initiate hostilities in modern conditions, to be a leader for his unit and, in the future, to replace the same commander, that is, this imbalance will also have a significant impact on the conduct of events. that the most high-quality resource is attracted by private military companies . three of them have already been noticed in ukraine. wagner is known to all

. the league is somewhat less well-known, judging by the fact that, well, from the following information, the league is a unit that has accumulated the best the resources that wagner had and performs the most responsible tasks, and the third is a private military campaign redoubt, which has its roots in 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, they note they are worse equipped than re gular forces but much more effective on the battlefield. they have experience in urban battles and accordingly we have seen them widely use in battles in popasnaya, lysychansk, severodonetsk, lyman, i.e., the armed forces

are left, firstly, no better, secondly, poorly trained and thirdly, the resource is not motivated by the russians, mostly, it is unclear and what they are fighting for and if we evaluate everything is this an opportunity for the good guys to ensure the reinforcement of the russian army with personnel, or can we say that within a month or a half they will be able to gather about 35,000 such personnel and plus 15,000 this third army corps, whose somewhat i am wrong in the estimates of the recruitment of the russian ground forces in the russian federation, how am i not wrong, 86 subjects if each one gathers a

battalion , which is not unrealistic influence is people who hastily gathered in something quickly trained among themselves they are not coordinated conditionally called a battalion really these are groups of people they are suitable for filling some gap in the defense or creating a numerical advantage in the direction of attack er some one local tactical point these people are enough they will be quickly eliminated due to poor training, they are mostly now proactive, therefore they will not be able to exert any decisive influence on hostilities, but 30,000 is a lot, this is a result, a certain resource that we should pay attention to, and this third

corps, which is being formed in a mill with 15,000 personnel will he form from these good people or will it be a separate unit that does not depend on these initiatives in er regional er directions the administration of the gorky region of the intercity region announced the formation of as many as four tactful, it is quite clear where they are going to take tanks for all this, but judging by the fact that a tank brigade can be formed, we can introduce a thing about the formation of a corps, also 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 in order to restore these aviation resources, armored vehicles, and others, what are the optimal solutions for the

russian federation? the deployment of field support systems for the recovery of weapons and military equipment, that is, they are trying to do something directly closer to the operational zone, their ability to repair is limited by the lack of large repair bodies, such as the repair field of newly formed divisions, for example, the 150th e-e, which here e-e inherited the flag victories in the russian fetish she has a repair company of the division and the evacuation work of the division , that is, even the repair of the recovery battalion is not in the division, all these problems are very serious affect the situation, the enemy is forced to

evacuate huge quantities of damaged weapons to the places of repair, which gave ukraine a lot, or to do something by attracting repair bodies here . the restoration train code e-e was voted in the district of belarus is on training e-e seems to have carried out some e-e measures to repair the restoration of a huge influence on the problems with the restoration of equipment have e-e sanctions, because the russians are cut off from the supply of electronics, that is, if the equipment in the tank burns out, there is a football calculator, a team device or a troika remote control, it is more difficult to restore it,

because the elemental base is not available today. it was not possible to agree, accordingly, we can expect the restoration of more or less simple weapons with mechanical damage, but the repair of such complex systems as air defense equipment, radar stations, aviation technology is complicated by many indicators to the point where it is impossible to understand the use of such equipment by our troops. yes , the javelin is absolutely correct. in the end , the enemy will be forced to attack us in a larger formation or on horseback. if they have someone somewhere, did you mention that russians currently lack

tactical commanders at the level of company commanders and platoon commanders, but on the other hand, there is an impression that the number of generals who lead with offensive actions, everything increases and increases. how do you directly assess the role of these janitors, e-e, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors, janitors , janitors, in terms of influence on the organization of the process of managing russian troops . came to syria .

to the leadership headquarters, tasks were assigned to the army commanders, it is not known who managed the operation. well , this state of affairs and such a management system can be explained by the fact that the president of the russian federation probably wanted to have a personal laurel wreath for himself, but when instead of laurels, the winner was offered responsibility for the rights of general dvornikov, who is the commander of the southern military district in rostov-on-don, was appointed the head of the operation, and it seems that after the escape of the russians from kiev, from the chernihiv sumy regions, he took over the command and it was logical, but during his not-long stay at the post of the head of the operation, he was not able to achieve any such significant results except how to

demolish brüupol to its foundations. - of political work somehow that's what his position is called on the one hand since may appointment because the commissar manages the operation on the other hand he by education tankist completed the corresponding combat path to the team in the official scheme of the district, respectively, has the necessary theoretical and practical training. but it seems to me that this appointment is due to the fact that the military needed a strong political voice that will be heard in the russian political community, and therefore this official is located somewhere in the territory of the kharkiv region, from where he leads the

troops, milkaol, the character of general survykin this is the commander of the military and space forces, it is a strange decision in general. it seems that you wanted it to be over, he leads the troops of the southern direction when i started to understand where we have half. more precisely, the russians have the southern direction. it turned out that the russians carried out the struggle against the armed forces of ukraine around north donetska lysychansk, having three groups, the northern, central and southern, that is, capturing, for example, the mountainous villages, and if i'm not mistaken, the commanders of the gold waved of spain of the central military district of the russian federation for the colonel of power, that is, the task that the battalion commander should have performed was performed by the commanders of the troops of the district, for which he became a hero in

in russia, his merits were highly appreciated there, here are all these strange facts. it tells me personally that the russian military leadership at the highest echelons does not trust the commanders of the tactical echelon . russian generals advance closer to the front line and are periodically killed. we have five confirmed facts of such actions, although they were actually mentioned. today, there is a single decision-making center that managed the operation from kharkov to kherson

. there are no russians. army commanders are responsible for certain areas of the front, who exercise leadership from their control points . to hear that one of the generals advanced to the front, where he was, that is, in fact, the russians do not have enough generals for each battalion, means that the lower the level, the worse the control of the russian armed forces, which actually plays into our hands, but on the other hand, in general yes, but on the other hand, the russian army has adopted the traditions of the soviet army where it is strong and is starting to use the only successful tactics at the current stage, this is exactly the advantage of artillery , let's say pushing through the defense with the use of an excessive number of means of impression created and reactive artillery please tell

me what is the peculiarity of such tactics and how can it be countered when and it is well managed where it is comprehensively provided with ammunition when there is no management or the logistics of ammunition is broken, respectively. this is just a set of such expensive iron that makes no sense to use at all . the tactics chosen by the armed forces of ukraine to destroy warehouses in the zone are, in my opinion, a very correct step, because it is a painful blow. the russians are forced to withdraw their operational reserves. of ammunition for the zone of defeat of our heimers, they are forced to concentrate warehouses and keep the military stock of regiments, brigades, small them, hide

them, it all complicates logistics, it complicates everything delivery of ammunition to the front, they tried to do it according to the justin time method, supplying ammunition by railway echelons at the unloading station directly to the units, but two successful strikes on the railway junctions in yasinuvatiya in donetsk, the actions of ukrainian partisans in the melitopol region, well, at this stage, only if they did not put christ fat, they made it extremely difficult and such an option supplied ammunition, the russians did not invent anything new here, they will try er and will continue to try for 100 well, of course not er, a shaft of fire from the side applied by the soviet troops during the liberation of kyiv, when

the artillery will reach the highest in history in other places, but in certain areas there up to 20 km, they are able to create a serious advantage and a serious density of forces with purely shock means, but without ammunition. i will repeat it again, in principle, nothing part of the experts is now starting to discuss the fact that we are now entering the stage of contradiction and opposition between two strategies, one strategy of putin, relatively speaking , the winter company, to delay hostilities in the next year through the winter and to use the winter as a way they they say that freezing the line of resistance and weakening the unity of the west there at the expense of gas, economic, and actually political problems, and on the other hand, this is the strategy of ukraine, in particular, the strategy of such a summer blitzkrieg, i.e., to start preparing a series of offensive operations, waiting for weapons, preparing reserves, and starting

hostilities in shiroki formati as soon as yes immediately yes ot how do you feel about the fact that there are two strategies , relatively speaking, putin's winter and ukraine's summer i ca n't hear you very well please send something from by the equipment if i can hear now now normally hear now very strong commission i can guess your question now then a small moment part of the experts believe that now we are starting a competition of two strategies one strategy is putin's winter strategy is to drag out the war into the next year and achieve the separation of unity west due to energy problems and from the ukrainian side is a summer strategy to conduct a quick counter-offensive relying on receiving foreign military aid or
