thank you, so let's start our a conversation about the situation in the occupied and occupied regions of ukraine, because we know that in the last two weeks, the russians have arranged a coven there called the so-called referendum on the 30th in september, vladimir putin announced that the occupied regions of luhansk, donetsk, and kherson and zaporozhye regions are joining the russian federation. a pompous event took place in the st. george's hall of the kremlin, where putin's supporters gathered. well, today, another party of the state duma of the russian federation voted for the so-called accession to the russian federation. of the so-called e-e regions, which supposedly voted e those who are now

in the occupied part e of these regions, and this decision has already entered into force in accordance with the russian legislation, we know that the world does not recognize this referendum, the world denies the accession of ukrainian territories to the russian federation at the same time , president zelenskyi says that this is a russian farce and that in fact, this week, the ukrainian military will continue to liberate the occupied territories, let's hear zelensky this week in the reports, the largest part is occupied by the list of settlements liberated from the enemy as part of our ongoing defense operation, the story of the liberation of the estuary has now become the most media

donetsk region, but the successes of our soldiers are not limited to the estuary, you know this trend, recently someone somewhere held pseudo-referendums. and when the ukrainian flag is returned, it is a pro-russian farce with some pieces of paper and some annexations. p valentine it may affect the entire front line because the russians believe that we are now on their territory and in particular what concerns the estuary of the kherson region and part of the zaporizhzhia regions. i think that it will not be affected in any way because the world does not recognize this and we do not recognize

it even more. it is possible, of course, that putin is raising the rates, but there is quite interesting information. well, what the state thought voted , it seems to indicate that everything is fine inside russia. those close to putin are kadyrov, and he is beautiful, this already indicates certain contradictions , that not everything is clear there, and that there is a rivalry , by the way, a rivalry that can happen after putin , and in fact, if you analyze the activities of kadyrov , he is primarily like me he is now taking care

of his future and his survival because it is no secret that he is hated in chechnya and that in the event of the fall of putin's criminal regime, the criminal is no less kadyrov, and he can also fall, and quite quickly, and the other person is very clearly aware of this such a person in the res of citizens, i mean with human resources, resources for weapons and armed people, this is evgeny prigozhin, who, not without reason, in my opinion, admitted that he created the wagner pvk, why did he do it, he did it as a signal to putin that this is me, please . you can rely on kadyrov, not on kovalchuk, especially not on the block of generals who are already very fed up with everything. and it is not known how the

block of special services behaves. it seems to me that there is silence there, it is not so simple because what if if someone wants to do it, well, the reverend, then let him do it like a clown like a bear. yes, but he does it if we want to demonstrate our affection for putin to the passers-by and assure them that he will defend him in the event of something . but the special services are silent, and that is why it seems to me that all this indicates that the contradictions have come close to the point where the situation can be described as an internal war in russia against the background of failures with mobilization against the background of further successes in the armed forces of ukraine, all this is exactly what it looks like the state duma voted well, the state duma thought so, it

was always tame, and here we didn’t learn anything new, that’s roughly how i see it, experts at the american institute for the study of war say that the kadyr beauties you mentioned publicly undermined putin’s authority because what he wrote kadyrov or on his behalf wrote what prigozhin articulated that the highest leadership of the political military leadership of russia is responsible for the failure of the special operation will affect how this war will be perceived in the future to the russian information space and society, putin is probably responsible for the decision not only to strengthen the estuary or to try to contain the facts that are probably known to at least a few people from his immediate environment. thus, kadyrov's direct attack on the lapin, who now leads the troops in the east of ukraine, is an indirect attack on

putin, kadyrov realizes whether or not putin and his mouthpieces were extremely tight-lipped about the activities of the military commanders or their replacements, which makes kadyrov's statement and its echo prigozhina especially it is noticeable, should mr. valentina count on the fact that they will not all bite each other there and in the end they will not be in ukraine well, in fact, i do not quite adhere to such an opinion as the aforementioned institute of war studies, because the attack of kadyrov and then prigozhina on it's the military. on the contrary , it's a distancing of the situation from putin. it's a little bit like protecting him, because when they have the military, they shift the responsibility for it to them, although really, for some reason, it seems to me that those who believe that they are right that putin is there

well, if he is not directly managing these military operations and the war as a whole, then at least he keeps his finger on the pulse and constantly, and uh, i don’t know if he does or if they play any role there, the eyes of the stable there and gerasimov seem to no longer play any role some military commanders on the ground are playing a role and there is a direct link to putin, and these are all people. it seems to me that putin has been disappointed with them for a long time, and actually, the fact that i have already mentioned that prigozhin reminded that he has a commanding general wagner, these are armed people, mercenaries, is that actually makes it impossible on the part of the military, any movements are so unauthorized because, in fact, this is the way they were warned that there can be no movements,

otherwise everything will be over very quickly. powerful in the sense of some internal changes and carrying out some well, maybe i will get there, the removal of putin, or let's say someone's mutiny , or something like that, she is a watchdog of such military men, like then today there is no more, today everyone is scared and everyone today takes care of their own in the future, how to survive in the village of this meat grinder and how not to follow putin into the abyss wherever the famous ship went. i think that it looks like this and the military are more mentally distant from putin because, well, putin how he is a special service officer, he is closer to the fsb, to the

foreign intelligence service, to the military, that is, to the u.s. military . that it seems to me that there is no longer any support for putin, and in fact, they hid because they don't have the power, the means, and the ability to somehow oppose these people who, well, let's say that they suddenly got closer to putin, but it's very interesting that, as a matter of fact, kovalchuk is very silent . they began to speak, in principle, to society as well, but as much to society as to representatives of the government, to

other branches of government that they want to neutralize , well, it is well known that the long-standing conflict between kadyrov and the kadyrovs, the fsb and others by the special services for the rivalry for the influence on e putin e therefore, now it seems to me that the tension is growing, growing very powerfully and probably to another e powerful failure on the battlefield, this very failure on the battlefield can solve everything, on the other hand, we see that putin is preparing including that it can demonstrate nuclear power, test it there, for example, a torpedo with a nuclear warhead, all this is definitely possible, and it confirms the predictions of those rationalists who say that putin will

balance to the last but will not pass the main the border yes, this is exactly what the expedition to the arctic is exactly from this story, but the situation seems to you that if the military strike is very powerful and if it falls, not just the military leadership on the ground, where there are groups on the territory of ukraine, but if everything will reach the top in moscow, and then the situation will be interesting, then there will be some kind of chaotic, very difficult showdown, which can lead, including to the disintegration of russia itself, it can also lead to some powerful, rapid reshuffles but we are in power we understand that reshuffles are any reshuffles in

the government itself. they will not be. well, let's say yes, no, they will not be such powerful gateways for this war. it is possible that there will be some kind of reorganization and accordingly who can move putin, it can be a third person in general - it may not be kadyrov, and it may not be kovalchuk, but some undercover person who will simply play the role of such an intermediary and soften the situation around well , actually, the er contradictions between er russia and it's a different world to everyone because, well, these contradictions have reached such a stage when, well, it's not just, let's say, the oligarchs

feel something or something, as an example. recently, our center and the information consulting company difference express conducted a study on russia is on the arms market, and we are just horrified by this, because arms contracts are piling up in russia, it cannot fulfill the solution, and russia is actually zeroing in on the world arms market, this is a country that has always been a powerful second place and that's all the result of putin's dead-end policy for many years, this happened not in february 22nd , but it happened much earlier, the first of his ridiculous steps appeared at the level of 2007-2008, and that's when the aggravation began of relations and rhetoric between

the western world and russia itself, which, well , thought something in the person of putin, and it all came to this well, logically, now the situation looks like an abscess, a powerful abscess, and here he is, or he will burst this abscess, or there will be sepsis and all the organism will cover the russian organism, but here the situation is very problematic and very risky, and it is precisely because of this situation that the white house has constantly refrained from providing us with powerful weapons , including operational-tactical missiles and everything else, and now you can understand that this whole game this whole party of shakhov is calculated in such a way to make the fall of russia not a fall and not a fall into the abyss, but

a kind of reformatting of the whole situation inside inside russia, to what extent it can succeed or not, well now it is difficult to say because it is very difficult to really assess putin's level of insanity today . one thing that i personally considered for myself on february 27, when he first said about nuclear weapons, is that putin personally is ready to use nuclear weapons, but the question is how much the resistance cut er for these seven months er, but here it is very difficult for me to say, we state that the military bloc is weak er, we state that people with paramilitary er muscles are rising, yes, that is, the kadyrivs and mercenaries of the wagner pvk are parallel groups that are controlled like pocket armies, well, special services are getting weaker and

weaker, and in such a situation, the state in general, state institutions, they have become very weak, and there is a fear that putin will find himself, actually speaking, he will regret that he emphasizes and stakes precisely on these semi- official people who make up the wagner committee, because these are people who today can demonstrate some power and earn money, and tomorrow just do everything as absolutely true, mr. valentine, and we saw on september 30 when was the broadcast from st. george's hall of the kremlin, what were the sad faces of most of those who stood next to putin

or at least those who are associated with putin's regime with this war, and bear patrushev and piskovi and all-all-all-all those who support the war were sad, they understood that well, putin just flew off the rails because what he said and the rhetoric that came from him indicated that he was going to go to the end and it was not for nothing that he has been repeating for the last time, starting in february, about nuclear weapons and the possibility of using such a nuclear weapon weapons during the last for several weeks, the americans warned the russian leadership several times, including, as they say, a private one about the inadmissibility of the use of nuclear weapons, the former director of the cia , a retired army general, where petraeus said that if the russians use

nuclear weapons, the americans will drown the russian black sea fleet and warned that the americans , together with their allies, would destroy russian troops and equipment in ukraine. nuclear weapons in order to look at the reaction of the world because we know that after the second world war the americans did it for the sake of politics, it was a political step to use these nuclear weapons, many people died in hiroshima and nagasaki, not here in this situation, what do you think is there already a circle of people around putin who are ready to betray him in order not to become a victim of a corresponding attack by nato countries? well, i don't have such insider information, actually. but

if you take a pure analysis, it should be yes, there must be people who are looking for contacts, who are looking for an opportunity to negotiate and consult, who can be accepted in putin's place? well, if not the leader, then as i say, it seems to me that it will not be a new leader, but just an intermediate figure an intermediate figure it seems to me that way because too much responsibility has to be taken on in order to somehow balance with softening the possibility of negotiations as for the former director of the cia, i would like to draw everyone's attention to what he says precisely about conventional weapons and this it looks just as logical, because you remember that on the 30th, putin mentioned and reprimanded

the united states that it was they who set the precedent and used nuclear weapons twice, and therefore it seems to me that the united states will not use nuclear weapons in advance and they will try to use other mechanisms that are more careful but no less painful, probably because if, for example , the military infrastructure of a significant amount of russia is destroyed, then this step will be aimed primarily not at the destruction of russia, but above all in order to prove to putin's entourage and to the people in russia in general that after putin russia will remain and must remain and that it is easier to simply give putin away and say goodbye to him and then on the path of some other paradigm for the existence and

development of the state it is clear that hmm, for example, we expect that for a very long time there will be such a military or paramilitary confrontation, and in general, it could be several tens of years. for example, the other day in his interview there is rocket developer leonid shiman is this is the director of the pavlograd chemical plant, who is involved in the creation of rocket fuel for all the rockets that have been developed and are being developed in our country, for example, he is convinced that in order to ensure the survival of ukraine in the future, he predicts that and rightly predicts that after the hot phase of the war, neither the united states and all the more so that other partners will not

arm us so sincerely and quickly. so he remembered these missile technologies and says that under certain conditions we can already create a missile with a range of 1000 km within a year and test that this is not some kind of fantasy, that this is not some uh utopia and this is reality absolutely reality and in general, ukrainian technologies already today allow us to think about the creation of missiles with a range of 2,500 km cruise missiles or operational-tactical missile systems and it seems to me that such the path for ukraine is not just necessary, but ukraine is doomed to this because it will have to somehow defend itself and when, for seven months, ukrainian cities are destroyed, ukrainians are killed , in fact, we are dealing with the genocide of russia against the ukrainian people eh and at the same time eh we

can't even hit russian territory because the partners well, they are not ready for that, they want to deal with putin's regime quite carefully and some of them don't even want to deal with it and just somehow so to manage the situation , therefore, if we talk about today and the future, then in fact today we have to think about the future that will be after the end of the hot phase of the war and that it will happen well, for example, i have no doubt and now we are witnessing how putin is approaching his logical end, unfortunately, there is a risk that before this end, he can create a big b- big trouble and even create a catastrophe of a planetary scale, yes,

he really can. but with each during the day, in fact, he has fewer and fewer options, because many people don’t wake up, no, they don’t wake up, they just realize that they will either end or they will somehow dig out without putin and s- will be able to uh somehow uh adjust themselves to the new one situations. this is how everything looks. unfortunately, it is contradictory. yes, there are no such directly euphonic moods. there is no direct, uh, such uh, well, the desire to somehow celebrate something, but there is an understanding that uh , everything should still happen as it should happen , that is light forces must defeat evil because otherwise god would not have had to create this e at all
