today is the 166th day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian occupation, the night of august 8 passed peacefully in most regions of ukraine, however , russian troops attacked military facilities in the vinnytsia region and also shelled the territory of the kharkiv and dnipropetrovsk regions from the barrel and rocket artillery, shelled in the donetsk, mykolaiv, and zaporizhia regions and luhansk regions at the same time the ukrainian military destroys russian warehouses in the occupied territories in heaps and continues to lose lives strength and equipment as of august 8, russia lost 42,340 personnel in the war with ukraine per day. the armed forces of ukraine eliminated about 140 invaders. at the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 611 tanks, 4,070 armored fighting vehicles, 960 artillery

systems, and 261 rocket systems in ukraine. volley fire 132 air defense means 223 aircraft 192 helicopters 293 units of motor vehicles 15 ships and boats 182 cruise missiles 754 drones and 86 units of special equipment 50 years of the ban on the entry of russians into ukraine, the south is waiting for the armed forces and the enemy is mining the front line on the eastern front of ukraine, we are talking about this today in our program in contact with us valentyn batrak , military expert, writer, director of the e-e research center of the army, conversion and disarmament , valentyn good day good health thank you for participating in our program congratulations thank you for the invitation so valentina let's start our

conversation with the statistics of enemy losses 42,000 occupiers killed more than 140,000 wounded six tank divisions, they have already lost several air divisions, all this was lost in five months of the great war of the russian federation against ukraine. this is the biggest and bloodiest war since the second world war in the last 100 years, is there a limit to your losses for the russians, after which they will say that they are already leaving from this war. well, there is such a wonderful topic about the border. in fact, about four years ago, our center studied this issue. and then we came to such conclusions that there will be a victory for ukraine, or rather, a situation when the russian

society will react explosively to this when it will be at the level of 560,000 killed, we will then before the start of the war somewhere a month before the start of the war, we met and invited one of the serious ukrainian generals with a lot of experience of this war to sing for such a conversation was one of the former deputy chiefs of the general staff and he said then that the world is actually more global and it is much faster for russia to react because, because information circulates very quickly, it would be enough to have somewhere around 10-12,000 killed yes, this did not happen, and i am convinced that even 50-60 thousand will not happen, and moreover, i do not even have the conviction that when a hundred thousand

russians, er, russian soldiers, er, are killed, er, even this can cannot stop the situation because we have two extremely, well, such serious things, this is a powerful repressive machine in russia, which is feared and adapted to by people who have not separated from thinking, and a powerful propaganda machine that affects mostly the majority and actually makes society do simple by the herd by such a senseless mass that is unable and unwilling to think and understand anything, it is fueled by the vinism that has always been inherent in russia, and for this chauvinism they are now ready to die, that is why globalization in practice turned out to be somewhat not

very powerful for russia russia now lives as such an encapsulated preserved country and it seems to be boiling in its own juice. because of this, it seems to me that russian society will not react soon, although the truth is that it is very important for us to develop exactly what russia itself did in us, that is, agency networks, informational influence, and for the information to be true, so that it still gets in, then there may be, well, i think that society will begin to react explosively after some, well, separate, some changes take place. everything everything. at the very top and i remember about a month ago,

karl bild, yes, the former prime minister of sweden wrote such an article, well, i remember one of the western publications where he said that well, until we wait for some changes in the kremlin, that is this should start with the changes in the kremlin, eh. is this an illusion? it's our fantasy. well, it's hard to say here, because our center wrote such a work back in 2015, which was called russia after putin, but we can see how many years have passed and we still don't see anything after putin, and we only see this the bloody dictator to whom this camp is subordinated , the camp that we have already called the orc camp. unfortunately, this is the situation of valentina. i remember the end of the soviet union there, too, it seemed that there would be no end of the land. and he was in afghanistan, and

actually the collapse of the soviet union union, but it turned out that way starting from august 19, 1991 to august 24, 1991, five days passed and ukraine gained independence, and it seemed that what if someone told me on august 19, when the coup in moscow began, that it would end in 5 days with the gaining of independence or the declaration of independence i also would not believe that there could be such a situation that russia will suddenly collapse as quickly as the soviet union, but it is definitely that it will happen instantly, suddenly, and instantaneously. here i agree with the conclusions of the now well-known contemporary foucault a philosopher and such an american specialist in this field, he was the first to say that

everything would happen very suddenly. this is exactly how it will be. now it reminds me of this kind of abscess , which is bursting and bursting, but here if ... if he does not break through, sepsis will occur and this is a complete infection, it will lead to the death of the state in general, in the sense that it may fall apart, and actually speaking, this is exactly what our western partners from the old europe are afraid of . well, we don't want to provide powerful weapons i i mean, of course, macron and scholz, in particular, who, while visiting kyiv, pointed out, well , these are rather provocative and offensive things, in particular, scholz said that we should sit down at the table

during negotiations, that is, in fact, he hinted at the fact that we should give a part territories for the sake of a compromise, and macron simply announced that there is an agreement not to give us stormtroopers and tanks , but since those times, it was already a month ago, yes, it is possible more, even more than a month, and since those times , in particular, scholz has changed a lot. why has it changed, and we remember that the minister of foreign affairs of germany , analena berbek, has now mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we will receive airesti anti-aircraft missile systems not at the end of the year, as we expected, but somewhere at at the level of september or or maybe even at the end of august, that is, changes are taking place and these changes can uh, they, rather, can

not help but affect the psyche of putin, the psyche of the entourage , uh, those circles that uh we can even go to foreign countries look at the powerful players, how they seem to behave cautiously, china seems to be buying oil together with india, but it has already received an american sanction for semiconductors, and in principle, it is less and less willing to help russia and, in particular, it has stopped investing in the great project what is the name of the one way? yes , there is a huge investment project that china was supposed to finance, but iran stopped it, although it seems to provide some kind of military and technical

assistance. we know that more than 40 cargo flights of planes took place from iran to russia during the time after the start of this global war, but in general , even today, iran denied that russia would use a reconnaissance satellite and follow ukraine. that affects one another, but today, putin is recognized as a loser, in particular, he is recognized as the one who is currently being broadcast, it is erdogan and putin, and i think that erdogan will soon understand that this is a huge mistake, because you can't be successful in the company of losers. putin is already an international criminal. in fact, one step closer to being recognized by the world

as an international criminal. remained one of the last such representatives of our secular modern world who is ready to communicate with him and is ready to somehow play along, well, he has his own calculations. of course , he is trying to realize the interests of turkey there, but in in general, it seems to me that the moment is very close when putin will be turned away and he is in absolute political isolation, and then and if it is also recognized that russia is a sponsor of terrorism and or russia is a terrorist country, then the chain reaction will go very quickly and i it seems that this moment is a struggle, a struggle for mental eyes, for

meaning, for plans, for mental possibilities of perceiving this. and as soon as putin and his regime will be accepted and recorded as international criminals this is the depressurization. actually speaking, the world's perception of the russian regime is such that everything will happen very quickly . valentina in addition to this regime, there are also people who support this regime and who support this regime . under the petition, 25,000 votes of ukrainians who say that russians should be banned from entering ukraine for 50 years, we know that the visa regime for russians has been introduced since july 1st, now there is a

petition that has won 25,000 votes on the website the president and the authors of the petition propose to make an exception only for those russians who fought on the side of ukraine in the russian-ukrainian war. you are a supporter of banning for 50 years, maybe 100. i do not know the entry of russians into the territory of ukraine. well, this is a good step. it has such a psychological cut, rather it is not a practical one, but a psychological one, because in 50 years, anything can happen there. a step of psychological pressure well russian yes, it would be good because there are already many of these people from this gray mass that i spoke about who do not want to think or understand

anything. they don't understand and they think that some group of nazis is doing something here, so when such a step is taken, it will be the main goal of such steps. there should be a lot of them. -any other what is happening in our country and the decision that is due to the unity of the country itself in our country, in fact, during this great war, a national idea was formed and cemented, and it is very good that this national idea was cemented against the background of the actual rallying against the russian occupation against russian fascism er and er in general er well not only against putin’s regime and in general against russian

fascism because er russia during this war well we sometimes say putin disgraced the nation yes er there for 50 years he at least gava maybe more with disgraced her and the nation will then beg for forgiveness. actually, but putin disgraced the nation, why did the nation allow him to do it, yes, such a story, such a reaction. chopped off heads in the kremlin or in front of the kremlin, why was stalin like that and survived because they were allowed to be like that, and the russians will pay for it for allowing such a monster to grow up, although

of course there is a lot of responsibility here and in the west countries, here i fully agree with boris johnson, the former prime minister of great britain, who during his visit to kyiv noted that, strictly speaking, the sluggish reaction of the west has given birth to such a monster as putin, and actually speaking, this is the way it is, unfortunately, because among other uh western politics uh we are there uh except for johnson and now biden uh we haven't seen in the last 20 years actually not a single face that could be remembered as such a well powerful politician for uh in the western world, they simply do not exist and there were none. and that's it because of this general weakness, that's why what happened is that even such an imperfect person, well, i would

say a person with a very narrow outlook, a person who has not read books about putin, who has read serious books in her life, and she is like this she didn't do anything herself, she was appointed president, well, no, he didn't achieve it during the elections , or during his efforts, but he was simply appointed president, and here is this person, she imposes order on most of the modern world, it's somehow, well, very much, if there's more to it add what russia has a defense budget, a budget that is 15th and one-fifteenth of the defense budget of the united states, and there is nato, that is, in general, a powerful block in terms of numbers and in terms of the amount of everything, then it becomes completely incomprehensible how it can be like this in our world well, this is roughly the vision of what

is happening, yes, friends, we are working live, and for those who are watching us now on the youtube and facebook platforms, please like this video so that this video is promoted in the trends of youtube and in the trends of facebook on youtube, we are conducting survey today we are asking you about the following: do you confirm or support the idea of ​​banning russians from entering ukraine for 50 years? options for answers: yes, no, and better for all 100 years now, so far, the answer is yes, 79% please those who are watching us now in please like youtube, write your comments, what do you think about it, because it is very important, in the meantime, information is coming in that, well, almost all regions of ukraine are now under uh, under attack , an air alert in almost all regions ago please don't ignore the air

warning signals, go to the bomb shelter and well, take care of yourself and your loved ones, valentine, let 's talk about what happened that night in the south, it is known that the armed forces of ukraine on the southern front struck near the antonivskyi bridge in the kherson region, in addition, they flew by a string in other settlements of the kherson region, according to the deputy of the kherson regional council, serhii khlan, explosions were heard in nova kakhovka and chernobaivtka, in addition, there is information about hitting the occupied skadovsk and donors in the telegram channel e writes the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, yurii sabolevskyi, the city of kupanti was surrounded on two sides, meaning the antonov local residents are not allowed to come close, they behave practically inappropriately in communication with people, according to preliminary data, they themselves suffered serious damage, the armed forces of ukraine

once again showed more able to exercise fire control over the key points of the military infrastructure despite all the attempts of the orks to cover them with their air defense system raps and about how you valentina, are you currently assessing the situation in the south of ukraine, because it is well known that the enemy is concentrating forces in the kherson region, pulling there from the east of ukraine from the occupied crimea. how the putinites will act here in the kherson region. it seems to me that they themselves do not have a final decision, because of course it would be such a good idea for them to go on a counteroffensive and according to the calculations of the military themselves

provides for their numerical superiority and the possibility of their striking. these are the ones that the ukrainian army is currently carrying out. and the fact that, in different ways, they simply bombard cities and residential districts, demolish them and raze them to the ground, kill civilians but the ukrainian army is acting, as a matter of fact, with such surgical strikes and it is filigreely destroying their facilities, those that can be connected with logistics or command posts, by the way, it is very good that this good tradition of destroying has been restored in recent weeks higher command structure and it is e is e so, so, so to speak, this is a harbinger

of victory, a harbinger of preparing the conditions for a counterattack by the ukrainian army, but of course, for this, much more is needed, and high-precision munitions systems themselves, and much more is needed. actually, and what kind of missiles , by the way, are the missiles for heimertz systems, which ukraine has not yet received, and here one cannot disagree with those military experts who say that for a successful counteroffensive, you need rp4, different levels of counteroffensive, both tactical and operational strategic level. and just for this level, for this level, we don't have enough long-range systems - it's 300,500 km, and this is something that could significantly affect the course of events in general in this

war. well, we know that dohamars operational-tactical missiles depend on the year of their production, they can shoot from 165 km to 300 km , and what’s more, in the united states , the production of even more powerful new missiles is already underway. it seems that they are building a missile, it seems so it has a range of up to 500 km just right under hymars, this system is also available in the case of receiving such missiles, even in small quantities, but it is clear that the united states is only ordering for itself now, and they planned to receive such missiles for their army in the 23rd year. but it seems to me that

they could now in favor of ukraine to cede its order and transfer actually at least some amount in order to be able to because it is a big psychological attack if the ukrainian army possesses such weapons in addition, there was a message that russia cannot to stop either with their air defense systems or with the systems of rep e-e in that why so? because, strictly speaking , these e systems of the rsv are the sea artillery that ukraine received e-e from its partners. this is precisely the beginning of the rearmament for weapons of a newer generation. weapons that are superior to the russian ones by generations, and if we take purely artillery, then we must talk about the

ammunition itself, such smart ammunition or smart german or excalibur or a bonus, these ammunitions are capable of shooting at a distance of 70 km and they are divided, some of them can even two purposes right away they hit the upper hemisphere where russian weapons are the least protected, that is, these are exactly the things that can ensure such a counteroffensive, but unfortunately, i can say that i saw that the conditions are already completely prepared i hope that at least this aid package, i don’t know when it will arrive, which was signed the other day by mr. jubaiden and which provides for a huge amount of ammunition for the ssr haimas, and

maybe the missiles can be delivered there. it seems to me that it may well be possible that it is there will be missiles for sams air defense systems. that means that in the near future ukraine will also receive anti-aircraft missile systems with an average range of 23-40 km. this is the same again. if we received such air defense systems, it could be very powerful . to ensure the movement of the ukrainian force defense there to the south with the aim of knocking out the enemy of our land eh and indeed if there were even a small amount of eh rains the conversation was about literally a few

launchers settings on sams but if uh together with the german eyes of the iris system will be suitable for this. well, it will already be, and under the conditions of a significant number of missiles, it will already be such a powerful enough force, especially since we remember after the madrid summit, when biden listed what ukraine should receive, the package mentioned 12 drones aviation complexes , we just thought that it could be gray eagle, and if it were so, then under the conditions of the support of the mppo system, such pilots could act and then well, very powerful serious strikes could take place , and it seems to me that russian russian the groups, at least in the south, would not be able to withstand them. well, this is approximately how it looks in my

imagination, in my calculations regarding the use of heimers, information appeared that on the night of august 8, high-precision missiles of this installation were struck at the points of temporary deployment of the occupying forces on industrial sites in various districts of melitopol . mayor ivan fedorov reported this to his telegram channel, according to preliminary data, a significant amount of military equipment and manpower of the occupiers was destroyed previously - it is more than 100 for the russian occupiers, well, in fact, you have already mentioned this aid announced by joe biden and today it should be signed there. this aid is the allocation of aid for 1 billion dollars. the americans want to give ukraine much more modern weapons and in sufficient quantity. well, a sufficient relative amount when we
