russia announced a partial mobilization of the kharkiv region and announced the holding of so-called referendums and today we will tell about how the russian army was knocked out of the border north of kharkiv, how many trophies the armed forces of ukraine received and what the forces of the russian army still have on the front line, these are abandoned positions of the russian military on the belgorod-kharkiv road during the six months of occupation, they paid off here quite seriously, but as a result of the counterattack of the armed forces of ukraine, they managed to knock them out of here.

are located very close to the russian border and which were recently liberated. here was the main fortified area, here was the main fortified area in front of the state border, because for this settlement there were also hells, many of our heroes died here, many of our guys were wounded, but in the end , the settlement was liberated by our guys well, in the end, the settlement was liberated. well, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to ukraine

, a private house was occupied by orcs, it was the headquarters of the moneylenders, this house was called a boarding house by the way, this is a thematic book. well, this is a ritual. by the way, here is a thematic book, but it is unlikely that the russians brought it. i think the owners of the house. russian painting of the 20th century. here is a 21st century russian painting. let's go now. i will show you a painting. in this house . god is with us that is, you understand how highly intellectual the people in quotation marks were, some degenerates were found here in general in the village

great passages russian soldiers also lived here and left behind huge piles of garbage how well they lived because we lived for 2.5 months in the forest and they lived with generators with water and everything with all the conditions from this there was a shock of devastation at this devastation i didn't look anymore it is the same in every village everywhere we were everywhere everything is the same the houses of rosmarodere were usually very strong here because there is not a single closed apartment and all the doors were simply knocked out. all the cupboards were knocked out. the task of the battalion was set two days before the general offensive of the battalion was set in two days. before the general offensive, the first assault on the settlement was two days before the general offensive. that is, we kept their reserves here, which stood

here in front of the tape, and in order to prevent these reserves from being transferred to the main directions of the kupyan zyum-balaklia. we began the assault on this settlement two days before the general offensive, and we succeeded, the enemy did not withdraw a single unit of equipment from here, not a single unit, the reserve remained here until the end of our joint offensive operation, i mean the reserve remained here until the very end of our joint offensive operation to the 27th roll the counteroffensive to the north of kharkov was also developing in several directions along the roads leading to the state border. this village of borschova here, the russian military built their fortress district among residential buildings on one of the streets. it is located at a certain height and it was quite difficult to knock them out from here when we

went there on the morning of the 4th in a group of 50 people by four different routes, we found three machine guns on our route, three, that is, we completely blocked the traffic, it was impossible even to raise the head 23 large-caliber collimetes corsairs all moved on mt-lb also rolled out saw one bmp and tanks tanks were moving like that along the central road they came out fired with direct aim and went we moved forward and started to fire at them one by one one e-e firing position on the left there dug in trenches reinforced with sand, sandbags. well, in principle, we fulfilled them, they escaped from another route, too, about 18

people on the radio station reported to us that the air reconnaissance that they were fleeing went, and it is something true , the origin was, er, we worked in cooperation with by a development battalion with collectors and traders, e.e., to destroy targets, long-range shooting, this was characteristic of a tank, not direct fire, well, they worked as a kind of artillery, this oleg was destroyed at a range of about 7,600,700 shots, e-e, there were two aerial reconnaissance established that two metallegs came here, well, the mt-lb and the crews ran, and there

is a concrete pipe where the cars are going, and they, well , on the video, we saw how they ran and hid there. we started shooting here, and a copter was hanging somewhere. well somewhere there, a copter was hanging here, they had such a serious fortification , they were hiding under the road, they were hiding under the road , they were hiding there, so that nothing flew here, they have no such reserve, to date, they do not have such a reserve, to take control of these population points again and successfully cross the state border, all their attempts will end sadly. because they are no longer children, the combat units of the 127th brigade, which have already gone through a lot of brutal and bloody battles, are standing here, the boys have become true fighters and here and now they will not be happy, that's for sure. i think i'll give them good luck. that's for sure. this

factory is an mt-lb - one of the many trophy vehicles that the ukrainian military managed to capture virtually intact until it got to a tanker with the call sign of the fund. i don't know which one it is i don't know the technical characteristics of the year. well, i know how to start it and how to drive it, although it is very necessary. dear equipment, this is the war. we need everything, everything that can drive, run, fly, everything is needed. we pulled it out with him.

they pulled out six from different cities, surrendered there, they left them at the strongholds in the field. well, we didn’t find many tanks here in this direction, oh, oh, oh, the shells are coming, they found the tanks, and i’m ready to work with these shells in their fights, shoot them like they were working in our direction, a difficult question from tractors and trucks to the latest russian tank t-90m and after the counteroffensive, the ukrainian military is still finding trophy ammunition, these tank shells were found today , we will not open the boxes because we have not yet at the end, the sappers worked here, they abandoned a lot, they simply did not have the physical ability, they did not expect such a quick offensive or

counterattacks, or rather, they did not expect and threw very successfully in such a way, they left positions for us, this is significant because there was already a problem before the pump that the projectile already reached me information that you are saving projectiles because for 2.5 months we fired at closed will positions , supported, replaced the artillery, hit their will positions, base areas and what they left, well they are helping us significantly now, well, t-72s were taken, t-80s were taken, they were even taken, t-90s were taken, well, all of them will be in good condition, well, there were some nuances, such that the goose goose was repaired somewhere one and a half kilometers from them, the tanks were repaired, well, they were repaired, they started, they all went with the second tank, they also pulled out well, they took it out, and then they found the batteries and threw them into that tank, everything

goes the same way, everything eats everything, it shoots, how did this equipment remain in the brigades that took possession of this equipment and these brigades will not give it to anyone, and there is a second equipment, this is the equipment that is damaged and needs of current repairs, and some even of capital repairs, and those that cannot be used because they are irreversible, they can still become a donor of units of units and spare parts of the equipment that needs to be repaired according to the data of the orix project. during the offensive in the northeast, the ukrainian the army captured at least about a hundred tanks of various modifications, more than one and a half hundred armored vehicles - these are bmp bmd and armored personnel carriers and fifty units of artillery, a large part of which is of 152 mm caliber, the list is incomplete because not all trophies get into photos and videos we

received as trophies a phrase of 3-4 times more than we lost. and if we take our irreversible losses, it is probably only one tenth of the trophies that we captured. russia's losses are accumulating . er, but we must remember that this is the second time it has suffered losses of this order , that is, at one time in the direction of sumy-kiev, er, there was a similar situation there, and the division there lost about half of the er-e armored vehicles of various classes, according to the estimates of western experts of the russian federation at the beginning of the conflict, there were 3,000 tanks in the combat military units, another 7,000 tanks were captured from 100 tanks

captured during the hostilities in the kharkiv region, compared to the 10,000 they had is it a lot or a little? in my opinion, it is not noticeable to them at all, but the loss of a hundred tanks is the loss of one tank brigade, but that is already a lot and very painful. the restoration of technical capabilities at the same level for russian units can become the problem in russia is that there is still a lot of military equipment in storage, as well as defense enterprises that have been working in three shifts for more than a month, but the quality of their work raises questions. we know that the russian military-industrial complex is under great pressure, so we saw the adoption of emergency legislative measures in the state duma of july on the introduction of special economic measures to activate mobilization

opportunities and means, this foresees problems in defense production to support the war in ukraine, on the other hand, sanctions that affect more complex platforms, guided missiles, engines , aircraft parts, optics and much more great britain estimates russian losses in ukraine at 80,000 soldiers, of which 25,000 were killed, according to the ukrainian ministry of defense, this figure is twice as large as those who remained alive in may, june and survived until september, they are lost in september or partially lost, and here is this replenishment of gro-equivalent replacement, each subsequent replenishment will be of a much lower qualification than their predecessors , this is a very serious problem for the russians, in fact the russian army is trying to advance now only in the donetsk direction in the area of ​​zaitsevo and bakhmut,

the fighting there has been going on for several months , and during all this time the russian federation managed to capture only a few villages around the offensive in the donetsk bakhmut e-e directions, the section of the front is led by the wagner command and mobilized from the purchased territories of donetsk there is no personnel russian army in the luhansk regions, well, there is practically none, so they still have an offensive potential, but it is difficult to say whether it is an offensive, because they are going there, i don’t know tens of meters of the front, but the advance is so deconstructive, let's say so, and they have been trampling in one place for a couple of months, that is, the russian group in ukraine is not currently capable of active offensive actions. in may, russia began to create a new military unit, the third army corps, according to our data sources in ukrainian intelligence by state with a total

number of up to 15,000 military equipment up to four thousand units from one division and one brigade, that is, well, formally somewhere uh, it is 12 battalion tactical arms does not look threatening it is interesting that in this corps there is a brigade of high-power artillery artillery field, this suggests that, of course, normal field artillery is light and mobile and with high fire performance, the russians simply do not have enough , that is why they give high-power systems that are suitable for breaking through fortified areas and delivering nuclear strikes none for mobile warfare in such areas as the steppes of the azov region, there is a lot of support, but the corps does not have its own

repair and restoration unit in the corps well, at least there is no bidi-cosanitary battalion or some medical evacuation unit, that is, to treat and rescue the wounded, it seems that no one was going to do it there from the beginning of the invention of the organizational staff structure of this association, the formation of the corps was delayed for several months, in august the compound was only 75% staffed most of the officers, as stated in the reports , have insufficient professional aptitude and low morale, most of the necessary equipment had to be removed from long-term storage, a large part of it to 15%. demanded maintenance and repair, it is strange that the organization that formed the commander of the troops of the western military district at the mulina training ground, it went well, a

high commission from moscow came there to understand the reasons, and why nothing works after that, somehow the process was accelerated, eh, they filled the regular the painting filled the structure with living people. they tried to teach them something, and this corps has been advancing on the territory of ukraine for two months through the rostov region. the third army corps was created as operational reserve, first of all, to support groups of russian troops in the donetsk direction, to strengthen the offensive potential and, in the event of a breakthrough, to patch holes in the defense line . in my opinion, it is interesting that first of all, when the troops of the western military district were developed in the kharkiv region, the third army the corps, which in general is a military formation, which should have

been thrown there in the first place, to help out its own , was not thrown there, it was partly introduced by four battalions, transferred by tactical groups to in the kherson direction, everything else is moving to the area in melitopol, how is it going to be applied? well, for now, it is too late to speak, because it is mostly in a state of movement and concentrated after the successful counteroffensive of ukrainian troops in the kharkiv region, the heads of the occupation administrations in the donetsk, luhansk, kherson, and zaporizhia regions urgently stated on the desire to join russia, the so-called referendums were actually organized in a few days. russia needs to increase its blackmail of ukraine's western partners so that they reduced the support of ukraine, first of all , they reduced the military support of the e-e and the russians are absolutely convinced that after the announcement of the annexation they will declare that

they have either already placed or are planning to place in one of these occupied territories a weapon with e-e nuclear in order for the nuclear argument e-e nuclear danger, it was the key deterrent factor for any counteroffensive operation on the part of ukraine and the western allies, this is the explanation of the difficulty of attracting human resources, in particular this partial, but actually full mobilization in russia, because they say that this is already the territory of russia, which must be protected not by the forces of separate units, but by involving those who are now in the status of civilians, i won't become you, then there is a rock, we all have to understand that this mentality prevents escalation de-escalation comes directly from the russian military strategy, in theory the threat of overwhelming force intimidates the enemy,

forcing him to de-escalate, but as long as ukraine wants to fight for its own territorial integrity , we in the west must support it by supplying weapons and ammunition for ukraine to achieve its goals , for this it is necessary heavy training equipment, logistical support, medium and long-range systems, himers and howitzers, for example, but the main challenge for the event is to ensure the necessary amount of ammunition, including on september 1, russia announced a partial mobilization into the army, 300,000 men will be sent, although russian journalists call the figure 1 million, now it is difficult to assess the details of this process, but judging by the numerous videos and messages on social networks, everyone is being drafted into the army it is clear without discrimination that it takes more than one month to turn yesterday's civilians into full-fledged soldiers, but russia, having problems with manpower, can

send them to the front much earlier, what we see in ukraine is the effects of discipline and high motivation of the forces. this applies to ukrainians, russians , the opposite and this is what helped the introduction of 300,000 reservists will not change ukrainians in their achievements if they were not ready, not too well equipped and without motivation, all these factors together will make it very difficult for russia to change the long-term trajectory of the development of this conflict, where you can announce anything, and you can carry out any actions, there you can announce anything , you can carry out any actions, how effective it will be, how morally ready they are to die on foreign land for the interests of a narrow circle of people, that is already another question, but i think. at least i hope that after all, their consciousness will come to

the point that they are fighting with the wrong ones and weapons should be deployed in them, only 10 people should be removed in order to become a normal successful country with with their huge resources, in fact, the population of the russian federation can live no worse than in the emirates, with such potential and resources, it is simply necessary to remove those who prevent this country from developing, and it is necessary to remove those who support the military leadership of this country and start living as germany once began to live from a blank sheet of paper to the leadership of this country and to start living as before the army has in fact lost the ability to advance in the donbass on small areas of the front only emphasize this, and the defeat in the kharkiv region showed that the russian defense can be

vulnerable, despite the fact that the kremlin is still trying to hold the captured territories in the east and south of ukraine so that the ukrainians do not think about not talking about the first place still comes out war war and our victory seven days a week from monday monday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters expresso journalists, experts, opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war, daily author's projects, expresso, join the community with a ukrainian view of the world, become a sponsor of the espresso youtube channel, and this is access to exclusive content, personal thanks

, pinned comments, special icons and the possibility of personal communication with the team espresso, click to sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian point of view. greetings, dear tv viewers, espresso is now on the air. program studio event we will analyze the most important deployment of putin's mobilization preparation for the annexation of part of the temporarily occupied territories and of course we will talk about putin's nuclear blackmail about this one about another on the air of the espresso tv channel a retired british colonel, a well-known military expert land grand and a sociologist, a former member of the state duma ihor yakovenko will speak, we will start our analysis famous military expert colonel of the british army retired glen grand welcome mr. colonel to

the studio of the espresso tv channel the key question is russian mobilization and what should we expect from it? we see isolated riots in certain regions of russia. we see that russia is throwing unprepared soldiers into the fire of war. we have to consider the military aspect, which consists in the involvement of completely unprepared people in hostilities, which in fact will only weaken the advanced positions of the enemy to the front, the russians are now bringing old equipment, old weapons, and some are being given weapons that literally 100 years and infinity in the best position and this should play in favor of ukraine but such a situation is not in all parts of the front because where the infantry is fighting against the infantry, the

number really matters because it is possible to neutralize a larger number of opponents in general and the actions testify to the fact that the front line is weak and putin needs to strengthen it my concern is that he will be able to mobilize much more than 300 thousand we are talking about one or even two million and there will really be a lot of people who will arrive at the front line, the number of those who escaped is still significantly inferior to this number, then he can replace these people by bringing to the front line properly prepared units from other regions of russia that he still has in reserve, of course, ukraine . this will not stop, but it will significantly complicate the work of the military and will more victims, this is about the front aspect, people fleeing from putin

, an amazing number of those who cross the georgian border, a huge number of them, even those who travel from the distant russian hinterland, everyone obviously understands and they are afraid of what awaits them in ukraine, no one wants to die or are monastic enough to oppose putin, we see some resistance in dagestan, but this is the only country in the russian federation today that takes decisive action, of course we do not know what is happening in tatarstan or other countries it is quite possible that if putin continues to involve the middle class in the war, it will soon rise up . then when the war touches the middle class and maybe if it is the sons of someone from

the upper class only then people will start talking what a bad plan now putin can continue to survive for a while by sending the unemployed to the frontline yes i agree with you mr. colonel this means that in russia will heat up internal problems related to the mobilization of people who are thrown into war unprepared, but on the other hand , we understand that this cannot determine the course of a military company, so it is not for nothing that putin and talked about nuclear weapons, they don't feel strong enough, and the fact that the company vows to be protracted unless some miracle happens. this is a manifestation of many different things. well, speaking of the deployment, so to speak, of a long war, a long serious bloody war that we there will be its

forms and in your opinion. what should be paid attention to when preparing to win? it is, of course, about us and about the collective event. i agree with you because after the huge and quick success near kharkiv, now much more time is needed since the pace of the counteroffensive has slowed down , there is still a huge amount of land that needs to be recaptured, the most important thing is to focus on the key military factors in ukraine, in particular on learning lessons and training, it is necessary to make sure that the learning of advanced lessons is transmitted throughout the front line. better than others it should be ensured that people undergo as many trainings as possible, even if it is necessary to collect to
