of your war, what will its forms be and in your opinion , what should be paid attention to in preparation for winning in it, of course, it is about us and about collective defense, i agree with you because after the huge and quick success near kharkov, now much more time is needed because the counteroffensive the pace 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 the lessons and training, it is necessary to make sure that the learning on lessons are given to the front line throughout the entire front line. because now the situation is not like that on certain sections of the front line, it is better than others. it should be ensured that people undergo as much training as possible, even if it is necessary to gather experienced

people from the front line to teach others and when they return, they should be informed what happens to him, such a rotation of knowledge is really important for the constant improvement of the army and saving lives , this is the first, second, logistics, because now it leaves much to be desired, there are certain critical areas logistics such as radios generators small drones for work at company level and of course winter clothing for soldiers such issues should be closed within the organization there should be logistics departments to support brigades currently it is too slow it is necessary to place more logistics closer to the contact line in particular clothes washing tools and equipment so people can wash their clothes 7 independence day vehicle maintenance we

need to spend more time on education maintenance specialists and place them closer to the front line at the level of brigades in order to create a certain circulation of spare parts that will return to poland and then again to the front line, these are logistical points that need to be paid attention to and in my opinion, the event can help you with all this, dear mr. colonel tactical nuclear weapons hinted at by putin and medvedev, what does this mean, will they dare to take such a step? and what would be the response of a collective action, well, in particular, the united states america so because it is very difficult to decipher what the united states secretary of state blinking and president joseph biden really meant by their answer, first of all, if putin uses tactical nuclear weapons, he will completely reformat the war, and he and everyone

else must understand this and it will no longer be an ordinary war between russia and ukraine, it will be a war between russia and the west. because putin in this case does not care about all international norms. he does not even care about the russian agreement on the use of nuclear weapons. i believe that the reaction will be non-nuclear and with the use of tactical aviation and conventional weapons because the usa has a huge potential when it comes to conventional weapons , the use of which we have already seen in the war in the persian gulf, it is about a powerful ability to find and hit targets, so now they gravitate to just such a response scenario, and not nuclear a, which means the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield , first of all, of course, there will be great destruction, for

this, such weapons are projected in a relatively small radius, absolutely everything will be destroyed tactical nuclear weapons will not cause such destruction as, for example, in mariupol, the diameter of the damage is about one kilometer, except if the missile lands in an open area, then the effect will be much wider, people within a radius of 20-30 km looking at the explosion will be completely or temporarily blinded, of course, in the nearest zone, everyone will fall under radioactive exposure from the explosion, they will get sick and die from the radiation, it is about 3-5 km from the epicenter of the explosion, if the explosion hits the ground

, there will be a huge release of radioactive mass into the air, and when it rains, it will combine with particles of radioactive dirt and irradiate the area on which it falls. so there is a fundamental difference between an explosion that will take place in the air and an explosion on the ground, which actually creates a dust bomb by throwing all this dust and radioactive mass into the air, which then it can move away to another place because it can be picked up by the wind so if putin uses a weapon too close to the russian border it is possible that all the radioactive mass can return back to russia in the case of using such a weapon, one must be very careful about taking into account the direction of the wind, there is one more point, if they launch such a missile, the ukrainian troops will not know that it is a nuclear

missile and it is quite likely that it will be shot down by anti-aircraft missile systems , in this case there will be no nuclear explosion, but a radioactive one emission in the city of its landing and this is now the most likely scenario, but in any case even the threat of using tactical nuclear weapons is evidence of weakness and fear, which in the current situation is so strong putin was scared, standing before this world in all his criminal glory, that is, no one had any illusions about him before, but now he looks like an outright nuclear maniac, which means that things are bad for him, what do you think caused putin to start talking about tactical nuclear weapons or to hint at its use russia started i denishin tash back in 2014, they hoped that they

would be able to pass the measure in this way, they can think that they succeeded in this, which is the case with germany and france, since both countries in weak in a certain sense, putin has good reasons to believe that his threats have a certain effect, but he is afraid for his life and position. he knows that in case of defeat, he is a corpse. and he still definitely expects to live a good eight - 10:15 years. putin is now mostly guided by ordinary desire to live and his dream to go down in history as the great putin, the great tsar, as the equivalent of stalin, dissipates with the wind, like all his greatness, so he should think carefully about what he is going to do to maintain his greatness. and if we talk about the military dimension of a specific situation, we understand that putin has revived

, it is about the use or possible use of certain non-conventional means due to the successes of our army, in particular, it is about kharkiv region and about the donetsk direction, we understand that it is possible that the russians are just so bad, well, in the medium term , it is about the south in particular that they currently do not have any other conventional response and that is why he is afraid or they are simply preparing to intercept, so to speak, a strategic initiative and stick to in the south, in particular, we are talking about the creation of positional bridgeheads, so as a result of these fake anschluss procedures of the so-called annexation of the territory, we understand that putin spoke about something like this after he began to prepare for the annexation of the south of ukraine, we understand that the situation on his fronts is bad and, accordingly, this means that it is possible

he has no other arguments. perhaps he himself does not believe in his mobilization. now his problem is that the military tools at his disposal on the front lines are not very effective if we are talking about a bridgehead, then putin needs to find better soldiers, because those who are there now can advance from that bridgehead, except that the russians are not qualified, they lack training and proper leadership, and of course, with a sufficient amount of weapons and equipment, and yet they can remain in defensive positions i feel that this is exactly what putin wants to keep as much as possible of the territory that he calls new russia and which he wants to annex right now. in addition, he will try to mobilize all the men in these

regions, i hope most of them will do the right thing and not fight, find ways to kill their commanders or something like that, but it is very difficult for those who are put in uniform and thrown to the front lines to fight to survive, no matter what side they are on. i think that in in the next couple of weeks we will see something else , as putin is desperately trying to solve the problems he has, namely, the ukrainians are moving forward little by little, cutting off the territory controlled by russia, and we understand that putin needs to fight not only with someone, but also with something and here is the issue of military equipment, in particular, in order to hold certain positions, he needs motorized rifle and other assistance. or, more precisely

, reinforcements, we understand that in order to fight well in the current situation and hold his positions, putin needs not only mobilized soldiers, he needs equipment, equipment and weapons, we have seen that his equipment and weapons are already at a certain end, that is, they are beginning to pull out and deconserve old soviet equipment, that is, some technical miracle did not happen to them. well, accordingly, will he succeed using an increase in the number of heads, he has his soldiers to hold the front line. putin is running out of equipment in some directions. but he still has a lot of it. one should not underestimate the amount of weapons and equipment that is in storage throughout russia and which he has not yet used, because in other places, for example, on

he has troops that still have equipment, he will try to bring these technical reserves to the front line , we should also not forget that inside belarus there are also weapons that can be used. thus, we do not rush to conclusions that everything is so bad in russia because it still has huge resources that they do not have. it is a very good logistics system for moving these resources to the right place. that is why it is so important that wherever possible ukraine breaks through and moves faster than in reality putin can react, the main thing is to break out of the internal thinking of the kremlin so that they do not have time to think about and strengthen the relevant areas, something incredible happened near kharkov and it must be repeated in other places. well

and, accordingly, the question of whether we need to make a breakthrough along the banks of the dnieper in order to militarily defeat the russian groups that are located near kherson, and so on, or whether we need to take them to the blockade and wait until they surrender, a good tactical question. i do not know the total strength of the enemy, and their stubbornness, such a decision can only be compared to the local command. i am absolutely sure that if there is a breakthrough due to the forcing of the dnipro, many russians will flee, because it will be a sign for them that ukraine is more skillfully playing at a big strategic game between them and you will see that the leaders will disappear quite quickly i am sure that the general staff is planning something as it was and last time we just have to wait i am also sure that the morale of the russians is practically at zero they are more ready than

ever to run away because they realize that they are dying in vain introduction in belarus to the war, to what extent he can change the strategic situation, if belarus enters the war, it will mean that the troops must be reinforced on the belarusian border, but ukrainian troops who oppose the belarusians certainly quite capable of keeping them near the border because they had time to take care of it and the belarusian troops there, even united with the russian ones, are not going to die for russia, so nothing extraordinary is needed to deter them. are they organizing something completely unexpected, for example, a sudden powerful attack from on the part of russia to rivne, but so far there is no evidence that they are capable of this, so i think that

at the moment the belarusian forces will continue to remain out of the game, pretending that they are in the game. finally, i would like to clarify that we are talking about the direction of the conversation that we touched on at the beginning, dear glen , we understand that the level of absorption of corpses in the russian federation is not infinite, we saw that the main protests against mobilization began in those regions where the largest number of coffins were returned, we are primarily talking about dagestan because dagestan was one of the leaders in the so-called supply of live meat for the war against ukraine and, accordingly , in your opinion, when will the so-called syndrome of the first chechen war begin, when will russia begin speeches in order to stop the war because the number of russians killed before a certain limit is a

very good question. i can't say that it is beyond my competence, but i'm not really sure. i just learned that putin ordered kadyrov to gather troops to suppress the riots in dagestan. that this can slip out of putin's side, since the war in the caucasus between chechnya and dagestan will only add to his headache, it really seems as if the boiling point has been reached in dagestan, and if this is so, then other people will be inspired by the example dagestan and will feel that they too can do something, so i think that what will happen in the coming weeks will be of decisive importance for the integrity of the russian federation. well, unfortunately, i have to end our conversation with another one. thank you, dear glen, for this frankness on the air of the espresso tv channel . for them, a retired colonel of the british army worked for them on the espresso tv channel, a

well-known military expert, glen grant, and now on the espresso tv channel ihor yakovenko, former deputy of the state duma of russia, journalist. i welcome you , mr. igor, in the studio of the espresso tv channel. we understand what events are unfolding now. putin has this impression that he has entered the final stage of his regime."

hmm, this is an obvious defeat, putin's defeat in this war was obvious even on february 24, well, now the outline of this impression was drawn because on september 21, putin opened himself the second front, he declared a war on russia, and what's more he declared war on russia a long time ago , and now he declared war on deep russia i.e., with its main electorate of its main support group, and today it has already sufficiently inoculated itself in the fact that kadyrov is already loyal to putin, and declared that there will be no mobilization in chechnya . one of the heads of the regions, the most faithful, the

most loyal supporter of putin, offended that he does not gather to carry out the president's decree in general for such a... of one of the main regions. in general, well, in fact, the collapse began, it is absolutely obvious that , at the moment, within russia, putin is not the only center of power immediately after this flew to samarkand, uzbekistan, where the next meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization was held, and there, in fact, the eastern comrades are the representative, first of all, of the head of central asia of that region, which was considered so

to say a long time so soft under the brush of russia, there in general, such humiliating tyaches were constantly expressed by the country of the russian chevenists, eh, it means that this is there. well, migrants , so to say, and so on, that is, this is what kind of view from high on the central asian countries of the people a here they neatly, so to speak, gave him a garbage pail upside down because he met him not in the first class, that is, not the president of uzbekistan, but the prime minister, but in general modern language, this means, uh, just know your place that is, you are not equal, putin is already unequal and he is already one step lower, that is, he is meeting you not the first secretary is expressed in the language of the soviet union and so say the second, the third or even the instructor this is a ceremony, the

more the east is like central asia, it means everything without a single exception, the heads of state were late for the meeting with putin, putin, who always made himself wait, he was late for the british queen, he was late for the pope she was angry with everyone, finding herself humiliated and waiting here. putin himself was humiliated. he waited for everyone. irdagan spread his legs wide, so to speak, brutally, he sat freely, sprawled out, everyone listened to him, including next to him, so to speak. after that

humiliation came to moscow uh, definitely uh, he hit me, of course, like that, and uh, that means he was dealing with what in general is in moscow, well, not in moscow , in russia as a whole, there is serious criticism directed at him , uh, no only this is completely naked ultra-fascists, such as hyrkin and his company there. well, in general, it is on federal channels, what kind of confusion is going on? well, how come the second army of the world and suddenly its shops were promised there in kiev for three days. well, it didn’t work out. at 3 o'clock in the morning, the war has been going on for more than half a year, and here suddenly eh so the russian army ran, and at such a pace, well, in general, it’s such a good track and field, but i won’t say a record, but such a good result of this run. so, it was liberated in a very short time.

as far as i remember, more than 300 populated areas are huge territories well, there are catastrophic rules and putin decided to throw them away. well, in fact, all his resources, well, we know very well how the general mobilization ended in 1914. and we remember how it ended the afghan war and the russian chechen war, when the deep-seated people, when the autochthons do not have the appropriate motivation. and this is very well manifested in russia now that people do not want to mobilize for the wrong war against ukraine. so, when the motivation disappears accordingly, then everything starts to pour down, we remember how it ended in the russian empire in 1917 and where mykola romanov ended his days. by the way, putin did not mention ivan

iv the terrible in his non-zhyvorotsky speech, or in our february transcription he mentioned nicholas ii romanov, whose the bolsheviks were shot, no, putin's front is collapsing, and in fact, uh, so to speak, all the talk is that these are stupid decisions, but they are stupid, but unfortunately, it is the only possible thing because, uh, it is impossible to maintain such a front of the army, as there are only half of them left. just keep the front a ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- half of the russian army invasion so this would not be a better and capable troop means and for some reason it is necessary to remember you in the same amount it is impossible because this troop of the second quality

is more immeasurably lower i would be capable therefore it was decided to take the quantity in secret i will take in clauses of putin's decree contain more than a million, this is the goal that needs to be mobilized, that is, to flood the front with bodies, this is the stalinist principle, to flood the enemy with bodies, to flood with corpses, and here, in principle, it cannot be said that this is the stupid idea because there are many people in russia, in general, the mobilization reserve of the russian federation is 25 million, and in principle, now we are talking about closed borders, and in general, a resource in order to continue to flood this front line with the corpses of russian soldiers , he is, at the moment, yes, a really significant part of him is running around, asking, trying to escape to

the countries that are available, georgia, there, armenia, first of all, georgia, kazakhstan these are the most obvious trajectories of flight let's say it's a very good idea to the defectors, because every defector is minus one person on the ukrainian front, so i think it's very good that begut because the alternatives are to get on the ukrainian front and die, but... in front of this person, he can also shoot our weapons, i am waiting and god forbid he will fall into some ukrainian soldier, therefore, every defector is a big plus, which means that the second story is a direction to uh, it still means that it is directed to the front and here already send protests about the father and go to dagestan, they are very violent protests in yakutia in the national republics where, first of all, now eh, so

to speak, they are being raked out by whole villages and eh, there is no doubt that when they will leave the front, and already 200 cargoes are actively they emphasize not the volunteers, but on the strong mobilized, this will be the second reaction , that is, i have no doubt that in the near future, this is the second front that putin opened against his own people. republic but for the topics of the entire russian people and this well, it is also completely painless for putin, first of all, he will not go because, well, when putin came from samarkand with a brand, here with this garbage bucket on his head with a brand, the tsar is not a real loser of the security forces, eh the army, and first of all the security forces, they will not tolerate such a tsar for a long time, the losers in russia are not the people, and this is an example, and

nikolaev ii died, and uh, so to speak, many other russian rulers are quickly overthrown, i think that this is a protest against mobilizations and the obvious dissatisfaction of the security forces will eventually lead to the fact that this message to the federal assembly on september 30 will be the last in putin's life and it may gradually turn into the last word of the accused putin on well, the collective patrushev needs putin as a certain figure who can be exchanged in the event of something . putin little by little, but not his paranoid

criminal line, so starting from the general mobilization, now with the raising of the degree of social discussion and threats to the level, putin is going to the nuclear level, despite the logic of the processes, and the snuffbox still does not knock on his table, so to speak, but the lake is still not was heard on the air, look, you have identified several problems. let me try to answer them point by point. it means, well, not in order. and as it seems to me, carefully, it means as for the nuclear war, i have the same ideas an important topic means, er, putin does not have a nuclear button anywhere, not on his desk, not in his pocket, not in his suitcase. some number of officers are involved,

these officers are very specially trained, and it’s all from the soviet union, and it’s already gone. this is a separate unit of the armed forces that actually possesses it. well, you can say anything about the soviet union but in this i mean, this is a separate subdivision, it seems like the 12th administration was there, i am not a specialist, i will not confuse you. cases when the officers of this unit a-a threatened to rotate the world world apocalypse known case officers who uh -uh
