it is simply unimaginable from the point of view of any medium- sized war, even the middle one after the second world war, these are the biggest losses of russia, and even afghanistan cannot be compared because there were 15,000 dead from the entire soviet union, and here 41,000 only from the russian federation is it clear that this is the biggest war since the second world war . and its scale until the end in ukraine is still unclear. we do not know what was lost in mariupol. we do not understand how many people died in the east of ukraine. we do not have the full figures. we can declassify the numbers of our military losses er, but here is russia. it has 140 million er inhabitants. well, let there be 10 million . doubt whether it is right or wrong, russian sociologists say, although you can not trust the social media, but purely er intuitively

, you can say that what it is probably true that 80 or 70% of russians believe that we are fascists, that we must be exterminated, is there such a limit, after all, i will ask you after 40,000 casualties and probably 130,000 or 120,000 wounded if multiplied by three is there a limit where putin is after all will stop and these losses will be painful for him , because from the point of view of the history of military history, they are already losers, they have lost, but from the point of view of society, they are probably still people who are trying to save russia, save the nazis in quotes from him, and the pudding itself is sure that there is no well, here a man-eater who does not care about people and there are 40,000 eh 60-80,000 well, they absolutely do not care about this society. i do not know how much this will affect them, but the known figures are, eh

, how many soldiers should be killed in ukraine so that in russia even in everyone in moscow will begin to feel that this will affect the whole society when the number of people killed is 100,000, or better yet, 120,000. when there will be no one left in russia, not even a middle class who drinks smoothies in coffee shops somewhere in moscow. does not concern me personally, that is, directly. that is, a relative was killed, or a friend, or a friend, or an acquaintance, or a colleague was killed, and so on, that is, there will not be a single person left in the russian federation who simply does not feel that a big war is going on at all 100 120 million 1 000 1 100 120,000 yes yes, yes, 100,000 or 120,000. yes, we can see that the warehouses of russian equipment are seemingly limitless, that is, from moscow to the far east, in siberia, beyond baikal,

everywhere they haul some equipment from there, and they basically dispose of a lot of this equipment here. it is clear that this equipment cannot be compared with the equipment that we receive from the americans or from the british, this is old equipment, but its quantity is simply large in warehouses in russia, according to military experts, there are about 28,000 canned tanks, that is, here we are already they burned 1,800 tanks there, but it still turns out to be a very small number compared to the fact that they still have uh, how much am i capable of both economically and uh, militarily, uh, to go to war against ukraine, or do they need a break, which putin insists on and is trying in some way to

blackmail the world by seizing the zaporizhzhia as, saying, let's sit down at the negotiating table now, we will not shoot, but these two sides should establish some kind of peace agreement, then the zaporizhzhia as will not threaten the entire world from the point of view of technology, from the point of view of finances as they can wage war from ukraine for a long time, well, i can’t talk about finances, i’m not a financier and not an economist. well, about technology . the nuance, eh, all that equipment is preserved, it was not subject to any kind of proper preservation, it was often stored in the open air, it is very difficult to calculate these numbers when they say 20,000 tanks, it is very difficult to say how many tanks there really are it is possible to borrow a few, put them in order and send them to the front, and here the numbers are very smoothly adjusted, they differ, for example, the t-62 , which has already been lit and destroyed in ukraine, is called 2000 uah, which is

like a reserve. these two thousand are really on the move, and 200 tanks or you are tanks, the number is very different, and in the end it can be both , so it is very difficult to make any predictions here , but it is clear, at the moment, that if they had everything - if there were normal cars, they wouldn't then with the t-62 with the t-62 for their own, yes, in particular, frodi is not called that way, and they sent me a bull to ukraine, that is, they would have filmed 372 there, which just said that there is an infinite number of them, that’s it, again by the way, we are talking about the tendencies of people, that the tendency is to the fact that they do not have enough weapons, they do not have enough weapons , and yes, the quality of this weapon did not compare with the weapons that are sent to ukraine, by the way, even 3.72, for example, the polish one that was handed over not the same 72 that the russians have on them the israeli guidance system, by the way, the questions about the israeli technology that were played prevent

it from being allegedly transferred to ukraine. well, this is nonsense. well, for example, on the tanks, there are hundreds of polish tanks, there are israeli sights and guidance systems, and other features of the system, which are much more modern than, say, the usual t-72 from any warehouses in russia. that's why . let's compare them, but they're busted. there's a lot of iron. there's a lot of iron. the central main problem is manpower, that is, they don't have enough. people, nikolay, people don’t go to the mobilization, they don’t go to the so-called open mobilization of the abyss, by the way , the gurok also declared about it, uh, their third army corps is thin, poor, well, they ate there, they scribbled someone, but they didn’t recruit completely, as much as they wanted, apparently, like this not fully equipped, he will be thrown into ukraine, here is the second one, it is about what is missing. well, the fact is that the wagnerites are gathering people there, not under the prison. yes they already call it a shelter and it says that there is not enough manpower, that is, it seems to me that this

is the central main street, it is possible that 2062 will just be put there for you. well, let's hope that they will not have anyone to plant in tanki and in general they will leave our territories. yes, thank you, sir, and gal for participating in the program. it was also gal levin , an officer of the israeli army, a military expert, a person who knows what war is and participated in hostilities in israel. so, friends, we work live on espresso tv channels as well as ours social networks on facebook and youtube if you are watching us on youtube or on facebook, please like this video comment, listen and also share this video among your friends on social networks subscribe to our social networks on facebook, instagram, twitter and telegram well, we are still in

touch with andrii illenko, an officer of the freedom battalion of the national guard of ukraine. have a good day . good health. thank you for being with us. good day. i know that you are now in our eastern region at the front and are fighting as part of the freedom battalion of the national guard, and yet, over the past few days, i cannot help but ask you about these findings of the washington post investigation into how ukraine was preparing for war, which president zelenskyi and his team received warnings about, how do you perceive this investigation, understanding you are an officer, now you are serving, but still you were and remain a ukrainian politician, so it is important for me to hear your political assessment, even if it is minimal, my political assessment is that you know in me

there are many questions, there are many different opinions on this topic, but i will express them after the victory and not only because i am an active military serviceman, but also because i believe that today in this situation it is necessary to arrange, let's say so, political pressure only if there are signs some kind of direct betrayal of national interests, as long as i don't see signs of direct betrayal of national interests, i will not do it. and of course, this does not remove all the questions that actually exist and they will definitely be asked and answers to them will be demanded but for today, you just have to understand that what if, of course, everything was not perfect, to put it mildly , and it would be possible to prepare much better, but on the other hand, you know, all

the western intelligence gave us three days, but for three days they said that ukraine would hold out, but somehow it it happened in a different way, so agree to say that we were not ready at all well, for sure, this will also be completely and untrue, because if we were not ready at all, we would have been rolled out in three days, i just remind you that we are dealing with a war with someone there we are not fighting ethiopia, well, to put it mildly, with a strong enemy, i understand that there, well, the orcs are morons , alcoholics, that's all, i understand, but we are fighting with a country that has enough weapons there, one of the largest in the world, if not the largest, that has a sufficient number there that meat and military professionals also have, let's not pretend that only alcoholics are fighting there, and taking into account all this, taking into account that they would attack us with all their might, with all the mitzvah they have, and they use absolutely all of them against us

types of weapons in addition to nuclear, bacteriological and chemical ones. well, i think that, well, let's say this, it's a worldwide sensation that ukraine didn't just bend over, it didn't just surrender. i urge everyone today not to focus on the internal political situation , because it will not lead to anything. we will not hold elections now in the conditions of war, and it will only lead to the fact that there will be demoralization inside the country, and this applies to everyone, both the government and the opposition. everyone is concerned. i say this as a person, a ukrainian nationalist who has never changed parties in his life and who has always had his position, never defected, and i belong to a political force that has been talking about the fact that we will have a war with the muscovites since 1991. well, simply,

no. most of the people wanted to hear this, they wanted something else, there were sweet promises there, that everything would be good for them, an improvement in life already today, and so on, and those politicians who were there, as well, i can now express a lot of questions, that is, former politicians and up to the current ones. in mind power, but i will not do it because i want today we are all together against a common enemy, if we now pay more attention to internal quarrels than to the fight against the external enemy, we will repeat the history that happened 100 years ago, when there was the ukrainian people's republic, hetmanate directory father makhno and so on and they were all good, they were all for ukraine. it just so happened that we lost, so let's not repeat this story, but still focus now on this fierce enemy. i'm saying this now well, being a few kilometers from the front line, i can tell you what the guys who are on the front lines are feeling right now.

well, they are not up to it. believe me, when they are fired at with phosphorous cluster shells, when mortars are fired at them, it is 4x7 trust them, not these showdowns, who is more patriot, they have a different problem now, to win and survive because, you know , it is important that we value, by the way, not only think about, well, let's say it briefly, i will formulate it differently, we need to value living heroes, because they are alive heroes should be appreciated who are doing heroic deeds today and they need society to talk about them today and not about how someone, somewhere, did something wrong, but we need to talk about them, about their feat, and everything depends on them now, and it is thanks to their heroism that today we we can talk, you can sit there today in kyiv somewhere, brainstorm somewhere, hold political performances, etc., and so on, only thanks to

these guys who are now really risking their lives and health to make this possible, so let's i absolutely agree with you and i thank everyone who is currently fighting, including you, including on the eastern front, on the southern and northern fronts, and in the meantime, on august 18, a meeting has already been announced in lviv of the secretary general of the united nations, antonio guterres, the president of turkey and ipa erdoğan and volodymyr zelensky they will come to ukraine for the first time, at the beginning of the war, erdoğan will be in ukraine, we know that yordağan is trying to act as a peacemaker or a person, at least who can be between zelensky and putin and which was announced, the turkish leader plans to discuss possible steps to end the war by diplomatic means. do you believe that it is possible to end the war in ukraine by diplomatic means? no, i absolutely do not believe everything. i believe that everything will be

decided on the battlefield. they are actually doing it, they are carrying out the genocide of the ukrainian people , there can be no compromise here, and after all that they have already done, after all these crimes, after they simply leveled ukrainian cities with on the ground after they killed so many ukrainian children, there can be no diplomatic way victory or death, there is no other option, there is no victory. maybe then when there are enough weapons in ukraine and the ukrainians who are fighting , it is clear, and the minister of defense of ukraine oleksia reznikov gave a big interview to the voice of america and said that he is satisfied with the arms deliveries of the united states of america and hopes for fruitful cooperation, he says that he is waiting for the atamax missiles and the attacks will change the picture of the battle

let's hear the different class. i am very satisfied because it contains a large number of 155 -caliber shells for the artillery systems that we received, there is also a fairly significant number of e-e missiles for himersi or there e-e euro e-e revolutionary missiles, too, which allow our the military to destroy the russians' radars in what way to blind them and this gives neutralize weaken the air defense system and, accordingly, gives us the opportunity to act more decisively we count on the continuation of this support a-a and receiving more artillery systems, more projectiles and more missiles, and i will repeat myself once again, i hope that a political decision will be made about missile attacks, which, as gaimavsya has already said, have already changed a very significant picture of the battle. and they will additionally give a lot of positivity on the battlefield

for the benefit of ukraine and the civilized world. you are on the eastern front, i wanted to ask you whether the military equipment that varshikov talks about is enough on the battlefield now, or whether the advantage of the russians, play, still remains tangible, well, look, i will talk about my the unit about the svoboda battalion of the 4th brigade of the operational assignment of the national guard, which i now believe is doing heroic things, and not for the first time after kyiv oblast, after rubizhny, after seversko-donetsk, after lysychansk, now, well, it’s the last days, in fact, for 10 days, because how is the unit all the guys heroes who simply show incredible heights of fighting spirit, devotion to ukraine, carry out orders, and the only thing you

need to realize is that the ukrainian infantry is 10 heads higher than the maskat that is afraid actually go into such a fair fight because she knows that she will lose fairly. but the tactics of the muscovites are vile when they simply use their advantage in artillery, they are in aviation, they simply start to arrange a volley of fire from a distance and the infantryman endures and the huter receives this volley of fire but artillery support is necessary. i have great respect for our artillerymen, they are jewelers, they are fantastic, but our western partners must understand that this jeweler is our fantastic artillerymen are heroes, they need more of these weapons, they

need more guns, they need more barrels, because this is what decides this war, and today we really need to convey this to our western partners . of salvo fire is what saves the life of a ukrainian soldier, it is what destroys cerebral palsy and it is what brings us closer to victory and peace, this is the most important task today, because i say once again that ukrainian soldiers have enough fighting spirit, they are well known you know, sometimes i just don't have tears in my eyes, but i just see how the guys are heroes, how they withstand this pressure, it's hard, absolutely unbearable, but they withstand it, they don't back down until the end, but they need support, and it's very important that, uh, they see that there is an answer, there is a strike back, and i say our gunners, i emphasize once again, are also working on wearable

, respect, and thanks, but we need more firepower , and this is the moment . possible but he found this flow even greater because today, well, 80-90% of the decisions are made today by artillery on the battlefield and how not to screw up, how not to screw up, and that is why it is important. the main command of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi calls the situation at the front tense but fully controlled, at the same time, he says that the concern of the location of missile systems along the state border from the republic of belarus, in particular, not the zyabrivka airfield, is a certain cause for concern, says the general, earlier, the belarusian media reported on the movement on the territory of belarus in particular, the gill of a large number of russian

anti-aircraft missile systems, we are talking about the s300 and the s400, and we know that yesterday belarus was also used to attack the military airfield in zhytomyr. how do you see this situation? and i eh development from the eh military point of view should ukraine strike in response to the republic of belarus, then with a military object that is pounding on eh our regions, the northern regions of ukraine and where the missiles are flying from, because in the first period of the war when the russians entered from the republic of belarus , there was no such response. now i understand that we have such a technical opportunity. when we can

show the belarusians that their participation in the war in the russian-ukrainian war is dangerous for them . there is already some belarusian cotton at the military facility at the airfield. by the way, i think that this is not the last cotton that will be there. and in general, you know . well, i respect only those belarusians who are now fighting for ukraine er-er from the shoulders + that's it for me the real belarus, they earned the right to consider themselves the belarusian nation, that's that. that's the population that is sitting there now. well, i despise them because they bowed down. they were afraid. i have no respect for them because they. they will still be a battlefield . they did not fall under the muscovites, they listen. it was very difficult for us on the maidan, too, on the maidan, they also

shot at us, killed our brothers, but we went to the end, we won, and we expelled yanukovych from it, and today ukraine has independence. well, they they were afraid to do it, they didn't have enough spirit. well, if i just see it like this, there will still be only those who will defend their country, who will fight on our side, respect for everyone, these are our brothers, and those who sit suffer they are silent well, you all know, i definitely can't say anything good about them, well, even now. if you could see, there will be cotton, there will be cotton. and that's what the bastard lukashenko is doing. it was necessary to carry it out bullets since we went to the maidan, we didn't go, we were afraid well, you are hiding this shit, all respect to you - 0 in terms of

strikes and in response to strikes on warehouses, including on military facilities, where planes take off and equipment moves in the direction of uh mr. reznikov of ukraine said that now there are no restrictions on strikes on crimea, we are waiting for atakams and heimers missiles, and the united states of america has nothing against us using these weapons because, well, crimea was and remains ukrainian. during the last e- for several days we see how they are destroyed the equipment is being destroyed, how are the military depots being destroyed, warehouses with explosives there behind the shells with everything that they then about this where uh in the mainland country , what do you think about what is happening now in

crimea, this is the beginning of the turning point in the war about which was said by the military and military experts, including those planned for the middle of august, this is already the beginning of the great turning point that the entire ukrainian society hopes for, mr. serhiy. i believe that the turning point of the war took place when the muscovites could not take kyiv, it was the first turning nine, when their loved ones failed, and the second turning point of the war happened when the war became positional in fact and they could not push through our defenses. nowhere on any strategic level, but here are all the conversations there after two or three weeks of the turning point. that's all there and so on. i i don't want to do it because i'm not a military expert. i'm not going to do it either. i see it that way. well, there's simply no listening to it anymore. that is, there's a war. war is

terrible. war is when people die and our guys absolutely heroically drill every centimeter. ukrainian land and they know at what cost this is happening and here are all the conversations that there is about to be and already there is about to be. well, it does not lead to anything good, because what does the commoner think? yes, 2-3 weeks have passed. we have not yet released we haven't changed kherson yet. well, everything means everything is betrayal, everything is gone. and we have to adjust to the fact that this is a war, unfortunately, for a long time, and we need to be ready for this marathon, psychologically, so as not to break down. we are waiting for victory to come so quickly, but putin has not yet died in crimea it hasn't ignited yet and it means everything, but then everything is no, no, no we must adjust to the fact that the first axiom is we will win this 100%, because this is our holy war for the existence of the ukrainian nation, the second war will last as long as it is necessary for our victory, that's all there is for two or three weeks, two or three

months, i don't want to say that i will because it is not, well , not professional and simply not even ethical to speak like that in relation to those boys who today are really at the front fighting this war with their bodies, fighting this war with their health and their lives. that's why i want to do this accent, we will fight as long as it takes until we win. this is what i can say for sure. all the rest of the terms are there and so on. it 's not up to me. let the great experts tell us. well, if we knew everything there, i don't know that. now, in relation to crimea, there was a political factor. because this is a reminder, firstly, crimea is ukraine, secondly, ukraine will liberate crimea, thirdly, it is a slap to putin, because for him crimea is definitely a sacred symbol, and fourthly, it is, well, let's say it like this, you know

how it is. well, a bell that is not even a bell anymore, but a big bell is ringing muscovites flee from crimea wait for now there is a whole bridge across the kerch strait let's line up in a line and knock down from there take everything from there means there from all yours means muscovites there collect them all cars buses and knock down a report because crimea will be liberated and crimea will be ukrainian, crimea will be ukrainian-speaking, crimea will be like this, well , exemplary ukrainian, instead of nakhimov square , it will be in sahaidachny square in sevastopol, if they behave badly in bandera square, it means, well, everything will be as it should be, not even do you doubt that? please, there is. while you still have such an opportunity, the bridge is still standing, then you will have to somehow escape there in inflatable boats to begin with, so that you are comfortable with the reports, you

sat down and fell from the ukrainian crimea. by the way, today the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine in an interview with garden, mykhailo podolyak said that the crimean bridge is the main gate for the supply of the russian army in the occupied crimea, and that such objects must be destroyed. there are many quotes in the foreign press today western press they write about the fact that ukraine has announced that such and such a bridge will no longer exist in the future. well, we'll see how things will turn out. how events will develop on the front on the southern and eastern fronts. that's why it's actually very important to understand and i heard from you that this war is for a long time, just how long, how long. what do you think, mr.

serhii, i don't know, i won't give these ratings. say name some numbers give forecasts well, they promised for 2-3 weeks already, and that was already, let's not do it, i don't want to do it, i don't want to be ashamed later and she said to me, oh , you said, you promised, you told me something, i'm not going to watch it, well, it's interesting to do to people who are chasing a rating there to make someone like me now it doesn't matter that's why i like someone who doesn't like me i don't care about ratings i'm just doing what i'm obliged to do as a ukrainian man that's all i'm interested in let's make predictions i'm not going to because i just know that we will win and it will happen when it has to happen that's all thank you mr. andriy thank you for participating in the program thank you for fighting for our independence and don't pass on congratulations to all your brothers
