it was really thank you for this extremely interesting conversation and i will remind our viewers that on the air of the espresso channel there was oleksiy the hedgehog, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies, and then on the air of canada espresso there will be a program by olga eleni, a chronicle of the information war, stay on the espresso channel, congratulations. to fully understand the severity of that conflict what is currently raging in the russian summer, it is worth feeling the emotion, so to speak, so let's listen to a few statements that are quite typical considerations on russian tv on this weeks let's go to the fact that the first strike by the ukrainian formation was launched precisely in order to stop the possibility of repeating the history of 221, then the question arises. and what we see now, if we were preparing for different scenarios, why is

it happening ? it was said why, even in this study, a military expert said that the appearance on the line of the battle superslovenia of the three seven haimasov will not bring any strategic change for ukraine will affect the general situation . the way from let's take kyiv three days before the talks that russia's attack army has to fight with forces that are significantly superior to it and therefore everything there is already well-willed, hideously protected borders and the alignment of the front line, then this destroys the brains of not only ordinary russian couch potatoes, but also propagandists, and propagandists even more, because suddenly

they are forced to slide from the singers of the military mission of the russian federation to the state of people who justify failures, so it is not surprising that all these frightened creatures crave blood and it does not matter whose solomiya, for example. and how many of your mothers ran away and why didn't they shoot in front of the formation, and why did they abandon the communications? of the big ones, who sent these columns to where the analysis of these events was, where the shooting before the formation in kharkiv was not taken, who was responsible for it, the surname, name, fatherhood, and position of each such person, there is no courage to

resign . he takes care of all these er-e chvk who are forming zeks er-e and the great is enough of the state russian propagandists who work with the main propagandist e channel russia-1 eh this whole group of people is enough well let’s say so influential er-e they all blame it on the general staff of russia , all literally all the failures are all explained, and the fact that just the other day, putin gave kadyrov the new rank of colonel general, all this seems to be saying that putin seems to perceive this point of vision and this point of view is concentrated sounds this is how it says about it uh, by the way , the general is also gorulyov, who, according to the idea, should protect the military, but he does not protect near them, see

dolgol , it will continue. the state and remained in this question, that is, it is necessary to carry out an operation , the general staff develops a plan for the operation, it is considered, and after that they are not super, they say, this is what we have, what will work for us, and in principle, today we understand that they are the plans that the general staff is developing for us i can't see the differences with the darkness, which is actually a much smaller group. let's say that people who support the general staff, who, er, express such heretical opinions on the air, see how it is resolved in determining the strategies of kyiv's special military revolution in the summer of 1941 when zhukov's general staff said

it was necessary to withdraw and verkhovna stalin said no , hold on, project our days now for the fact that this is a successful potential strategy that you are talking about was not implemented who who what forces are responsible for this well, i can say that only the head of the general staff, well, this is the head of the general staff, who can be compared to stalin ? no matter what, there is something that someone has to suffer and again ot and her e-e concentratedly express nightingales. someone must answer for this and must answer so that it is clear, a lie at all levels must be punished in the most severe way because

now is the time to speak the truth and act already from the form for the mobilized, the main thing is that everything is silent directly and this is happening maria kucherenko is an analyst of the come back alive fund, which tracks in great detail all the movements of such internal russian groups, and on the topic of that. and who does solovyov want to shoot?

who against whom, what kind of groups? vitaya maria will tell you all about it in detail. whom does solovyov want to shoot? and actually who is being attacked and who is in danger. this situation is real inside russia. i think it is about gerasimov . the general staff, that is, about the officials who were often seen in these oceanic pictures where putin is sitting at a long, long table and these two are sitting at a long, long table, from which now in ukraine they are making memes about the report on the failure at the front, and so on, we really need to talk here about the fact that even if we don't see any formal stand-in, there's still time, even if we don't see any of the formal massacres

that solovyov shouts about so loudly. well, he can't. there is a visible, very clear conflict between people who are currently associated with the fsb and the ifsu against those who are associated with the general staff and the ministry of defense, but if you go into more detail, who can they... whose opinion is kadyrov prigozhin expressing his own? it's a certain group of people. of course, there is a group ... you have a large and very influential structure of the fsu, the federal security service, and here are two natives of the fsso who help kadyrov and the parish to formulate. this is all that we have been hearing in recent days.

people associated with beans who are very, very interested in the fact that now all kinds of media are drowning in emotions. but if we recall the history of prigozhina's relations with the ministry of defense, then we must of course talk about the fact that in 2016 there was a very, very big conflict between prigozhina and the ministry of defense what was really seriously reflected in the way the equipment was built, if how the hallway floor was provided in 2016, when it was first of all strengthened after the conflict that its parishioner, first of all, these people lost the help of the air and space forces of the russian federation, without which it was very , very difficult for them, secondly, they took away their weapons, in part they said that they were fighting with what is, and thirdly, there

were conflicts even over the ranges they occupied in of the russian federation of course privozhen will use any opportunity to remind shoigu to remind us of the bans that happened then in the 16th year of course this is not because he somehow does not feel sorry for his subordinates or because he is somehow worried about his losses all due to the fact that he is concerned about his own personal status and he is concerned about the humiliation he received in the 16th year, the cadres are here for him. this is of course a situational ally, in no case does he consider him as such an ally, a long-term ally in the strategic dimension, because we know that in wagner's same pvk, the attitude towards the same chechens is not very positive, because there really is the whole ideology of this structure and such a guarantee of career growth, it will be a nazi to be equal

, and therefore the chechens are not treated very well there. also, they didn't always show themselves well as fighters in the wagner pvk, so it's still a situational alliance that doesn't have such a big perspective, but here are these fasushniks who are now the glass of this campaign, in fact they managed to make everything sound in unison, regardless of how i am there who has an attitude towards the chechens, regardless of who is there. what kind of cook is putin and what happened in syria in the 16th year, but the ultimate goal of all this is because, well, these are conversations, what? there is a beauty in the defense minister. well i don't think there is a large group of security forces like this i directly supported it, or is it still

there ? ban, but putin actually needs it as a tool for achieving military goals and other non -military means, that is, now all this quite loud controversy is allowed only because putin himself has a certain disappointment in that how the so-called special military operation was planned, there is a certain disappointment in the way it was implemented by the very top, the military, the military leaders of the russian federation, and therefore prigozhin is held up as a figure who is more intimidating and who is shown by shoigu and others from such a point of view that here you are you are fighting badly. if you continue in

the same spirit, it will be just beautiful. yes , it is a hint that he can expect more. staged, but this game is actually very, very profitable from the point of view of demoralizing the officer personnel, well, that is, here they tell you that you can't fight, you studied at a military school at the academy, you graduated from something, you dreamed of something, you had some ambitions, and here are some limitations there, in front of the prisoners, something is said about the fact that wagner's military command is a chance to buy guilt in front of the family and therefore you have to serve in wagner's military command to become a hero, that being in wagner's military command is cooler than being in the army , well that is of course we can talk about a certain the humiliation of the military as a whole is during such rhetoric during its loud pronouncement

, that is why i actually want to advise them to just continue to listen and who does putin hope to be pulled out? well, if he is now so globally disappointed in what he and gerasimov are, he hopes that somewhere there is to put it bluntly, some rakosovsky whom he will pull out like that and suddenly he will perform some kind of miracle for him, oh, oh, how is this even put into their heads? but i think that he will squeeze rokosovsky out of gerasimov. maybe even in the same way that rokossovsky was then involved in the war against nazi germany. that is, he was actually pulled out from under the cake and when he was involved in the defense of the soviet union, he never forgave to the soviet union for the abuses he perpetrated on him. i think that they will try to scare gerasimov. now he

has been appointed a very interesting deputy. well, not gerasimov, but now he has been appointed a very interesting deputy. this is mizyntsev - he is the person responsible for the destruction mariupol this is simply kat-mariupol, who is called in the russian environment a familiar acquaintance e with the fact that he reached this position very energetically every person with a serious careerist and that he can supposedly fix all these processes e-e with supplies to the front e- with regard to the financial support that they could not arrange for him, that's why here now additional figures will be added figures with such a very serious bloody trail you have to work as you have to fight, and if you don't

take an example from them, you will simply be removed from your actual position and it is not excluded that with the help of some repressions, but i don't think that this is something that somehow scares gerasimov, because in reality everything is the most terrible for him already happened , we can remember that gerasimo took part in the second chechen war and was responsible for the battles for komsomolsk oh, this is one of the bloodiest episodes of this war, and for him what is happening with his personnel now in ukraine is a repetition of komsomolsky, but multiplied by a thousand , and in fact it was. because i don't think that everyone knows this story a little bit, in just two words, remind people that komsomolsky is such a final, decisive stage in the second chechen war, this is a company in which

all the civilians who were in that village, with terrorists, as the federal authorities and federal propaganda called it, and the people who were there were civilians, including women, and children were simply not allowed to leave this village, and they were essentially a human shield, and the russian command claimed that there were no civilians there, that all the civilian news was that they were all terrorists and therefore subject to destruction, and in 2000, when it was putin’s first presidential election, and in the komsomolsky, there was rabid support for putin. the territory on which such demonstrative very, very right- wing elections of a new president were held, who promised to torture terrorists in the toilets, well, what is interesting is the way in which the russian army fights when it in general, it is fighting against the population, the real population.

that is, it is not fighting against the army of ukraine, it is fighting against the population of ukraine now, and at the same time, there is a lot of and such a widespread narrative that the army is being held by some politicians, the russian army is being held by the hands, not allowing it to do anything, a lot of people, including me i also heard in the last few days that it was calculated there, it seems that yesterday or the day before yesterday there was supposed to be some kind of speech by putin, they calculated that putin would turn it into a state of counter-terrorist operation. this is some kind of magic word for them. laska, why is this some kind of magical idea that it will change everything, what do they mean when they say it and why is it what do they expect from putin? well, there is really nothing strange here. because putin built on this so-called counter-terrorist operations, the presidential myth is that the president is a fighter against terrorism, he came

in the wake of the fact that he will fight terrorism and will do it effectively, that is, a young fsb colonel tells everyone there they are in the toilets, but here the fact is that kto in russia lasted until 2017 if he is there, if anyone does not remember that the regime of kto ended in the 17th year and certain elements of the cultural operation, elements were involved in the north caucasus, and after talking about the fact that this is some very effective regime, it is not actually proven what the russian propagandists associated with geography, first of all, well, they expected that emigration for the male population would be permanently closed, that martial law would be imposed on the border territory of the border regions of the russian federation bordering with us and that security measures will be strengthened there, but this did not happen, we can see and actually talk about the fact that

someone is holding the russian army or that it has not yet started anything. well, even today, this obviously seems to be complete nonsense. we cannot claim that anyone who says what is there ? who is very decisive about serious changes for the russian army in the russian federation in general, that he does not work out conscious or unconscious russian generatives. well, these conversations that are going on now also there about the fact that the war and in general this the construction of a professional army, a battalion, a tactical group, all this is wrong, there should be sticks , divisions, fronts again. and i understand that this is all in the context of the fact that, first of all, it is necessary to get a bunch of people to fight. that's right, that is, just a large mass of people, and secondly, the mobilization of 300,000 people no one should consider this as a limit and in principle i see that in these e opinions e-e agree as the general staff as well as

all the others that there should be some kind of broader involvement in general just manpower that is so and that they expect from this what can be from it in fact, for the russian military command and for the russian political leadership, there are currently only three wars, the first is siechen, the second is chichy, the second world war, but they call it the great national one, and there are actually two two types of approaches, or who or throw us as an opponent with meat, now they obviously stop at the second with this mobilization. of course, the figure of 300,000 is not to deceive anyone, because i think that there is already evidence that it is about a much larger number of people , and here, of course, it is also about the fact that no matter how we they mocked this mobilization no matter what , but it is a very large manpower and they

will attack nastya with a large manpower, but on the other hand, we also see that this mobilization is also used by those security forces who wear jackets and in the context that in essence, the law on mobilization on mobilization training and mobilization is not fully implemented today , because russian citizens have the option of leaving their place of residence without the permission of the military of the commissariat, that is, the official storming of upper upper lars and other border points, they remain. there is indeed a certain casuistry in what concerns leaving the place of residence or leaving the country. this is precisely the mass of people who could create problems in the form of certain protests regarding security and the violation of their rights

, that is, the population of the capital of large cities. they have now been given the opportunity to leave russia, and those who definitely will not to protest, they are just now being taken away how is such aromatic meat and they will perform the function well, which was actually performed by the soviet army on some sections of the front and in some of its episodes of the second world war, that is, simply throwing meat at the enemy well, that is the idea of ​​fighting to the last russian in principle, she is quite alive in russian circles, but what is more interesting is that there was literally a conversation between such opposition figures khodakovsky and latinina, where latinina told us that russia has a new system for russia to be such a guardarika is a confederation of cities, and khodorkovsky, in turn, said that now all russian politicians should acquire such private armies, and such armies are already there, that his

gold in kadyrov's patrushina is beautiful and, for example , there may be statements about how there or they are building russia, the beautiful russia of the future. they only prove this, of course. yes, there are certain private armies there, there is the same wagner pvk. structures in chechnya that are currently being created to meet the needs of the so-called ied. there are certain, er, there is an idea of ​​creating certain national battalions in the republics and further under the control of the federal forces, of course, they should formally be subordinate to the ministry of defense, but they have such a very clearly defined regional reference. but to talk about the fact that everyone there has a private army, well, i'm sorry, i mixed it up, which kind of mishustin, what kind of army is being mixed up, she has seen it for a long time

in general well, that is, there is a certain exaggeration here, and i think that these passages from the russian position are also aimed at erasing this collective responsibility, collective guilt, what will they now begin to say that well, look, it's not russians, it's prigozhin, and it's putin's army, it 's another army over there, and it's the golden army, and ordinary russians are not guilty of anything, well, that is, here it's obvious that this kind of uh isn't smart enough , we're talking about the fact that right now they're broadcasting meetings about the fact that the gold in parole is to blame for everything there and the russian is not guilty, and that's why they should be released there, they should be given asylum we need to give them some kind of residence permits in the european union, we have already heard all this, but this is a very, very dangerous narrative not only for ukraine, it

is primarily for countries that have a border with the russian federation, and secondly, it is dangerous for the european union, so it was, of course, necessary to allow such manipulations b wrong well, we talked in quite some detail about this woman who is going to fight there to the last, let's see now, maria, and two small excerpts about the fact that in russia they are also discussing that there are some such bad people who want to agree on something, let's show it now, let's say that the representative of this military clan is telling, show it is being attempted active requests to blame the established situation on the fronts in ukraine with the true culprits who are the politicians and who are connected to the russian oligarchy and who protects interests are not the country 's, but protect the interests of the commercial interests of this oligarch when you talk about these

politicians who are oligarchs of this good owner in the evening, he is not a politician, he is an oligarch. well, suddenly, abramovich, but i am even bigger. there is a conspiracy . look at the other information about the fact that he is preparing for a meeting, it was the representatives of russia , ukraine, the usa. the territories that became part of the russian federation, the ukrainians themselves are going to a full-scale war with carpet bombing, the rest somehow, i have no idea how it is the first option it is possible. well, these are some things, but to what extent is this an internal russian conspiracy, to what extent can there really be such groups that are ready

for such actions, and of course there are such groups, but i will not say that this second group that advocates agreements, be it agreements on individual tracks or such general framework agreements, i will not say that it is really less dangerous for us from the side of the fsb, because and not only the fsb of other law enforcement officers who were not associated with some in the state, we see such very, very serious enthusiasm for what to do conduct negotiations, if not framework ones, then at least on individual tracks, at least on the humanitarian track itself. how interesting ukraine is, well, that is, we saw that before those foreign volunteers who landed in morocco recently, a few weeks before, were actually released tetyana moskalkova spoke to herself about the need to abolish the death penalty and the so-called death penalty, and with the fact

that there was obviously some prospect of negotiations regarding the fate of these foreign volunteers, what did we see? after a few weeks, it worked, well, that is, what this line of the security forces won on this point direction. but again, the situation in these intraspecies struggles changes very and very seriously every day, and of course it is our great luck as a country that the fsb officers do not take it very often because they pressure us, they pressured us then it is much stronger with the fact that we go to some kind of negotiations, that we agree on something with them there and so on , and of course roman is right . in regard to this, he turned to the russian military, who can he turn to in general, is there anyone else to turn to at all among the russian military well, abramovych in fact there are literally 20

seconds well, i think that some of the russian military may have certain certain ambitions, i think that there is a certain understanding where is everything going and i think that this makes a certain sense but i think that this is not a matter of public communications after all. appeals there to some russian military, and indeed there is also abramovich as a completely separate figure who has his own interests in
