will the edge of the dam before the supply there finally fall from a small e-e to almost none and it will even be possible to drag people away from there except by ferries and most likely those who will remain there at that moment and the technology that will remain there at that moment for the most part and or other needs of ukrainians, that is why everything is bad for them in kherson, in principle there is only one hope that can be there for them, now we are prevented from coming a little by weather conditions, if maybe they hope that they will somehow make it until winter, and the lonely one will attack there at home and ours simply won't be able to lead us effectively, he didn't ask because it's already being held, although, to be honest, there's not much hope for it, and first of all, it's taking some kind of time, it's not planned, it's also already strict and most likely they're not reaching it well look, well, from this point of view, the issue of reducing our losses and civilian losses is also relevant for us, and this is also a question of how

and how it can be done. you literally have half a minute to tell me. if you have any thoughts on this matter, well, to be honest with you it is difficult to say now, it seems to me that we are simply now in kherson oblast and luhansk oblast simply preparing a repetition of that history, which actually and let kherson oblast have its significance in us, because now we are simply accumulating a sufficient amount of a bag of funds in order for one good blow, in the case of luhansk oblast itself, to take the lime green from the music of the russians, to leave the wonderful starobilsk, or simply to the russian federation, in the case of kherson, he simply sent kherson’s evidence from other sides to take it, and then the situation will change for them again the question is how reasonable, how will we develop further. how will we continue to liberate other territories, starting from the second step and further, but it will rather depend on what the situation will be there

then. it is clear. is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine. thank you, gentlemen. this was a review of the events of the week, a chronicle of hostilities. well, look further. espresso, we still have a lot of interesting things today. we will be a trusted medicine, not a cosmetic mixture. you are healthy, ask for vietnamese in pharmacies, trust only proven medicine, i am iryna koval, mother, wife, presenter of the espresso tv channel, and i am also a volunteer, our soldiers at the front need a lot of things every day, and that is why part of my

life today - this is help to the armed forces of ukraine, and i am very grateful to my colleagues that they support me in this, thanks to our soldiers, i can at least not be distracted from the continuous flow of news for a long time, admire nature while walking with simba in the park, i see the seemingly beautiful in such simple things, i know that my the family is behind the backs of fantastic people who protect our dear ukraine at the cost of their own lives. it is the least i can personally do to thank our indomitable defenders, transfer funds to the needs of the army, join and you, each of you can help, even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings closer our victory in the cabins of airplanes behind the

monitors of radar stations at the control points of anti-aircraft missile systems at thousands of combat positions throughout the territory of our state they are getting closer to victory every day. glory to the air force of the armed forces of ukraine. congratulations. my name is yuriy fizar, and as my guest today, i will discuss a very important topic, how the war can develop, which he then started in ukraine on february 24 of this year, what can he be ready for? button that everyone is warning about this and other things i will talk to my very distinguished guest this is sir lowrance freedman emeritus professor at king's college london an expert in military studies he is the one who will be able to answer those the questions that i prepared for him sverlourenc

i congratulate you and thank you for joining me today i am very pleased and we are going to the sources so my first question will be whether it was possible to avoid the russian invasion of ukraine i do not think that the invasion was inevitable because these were decisions that needed was to accept, in particular, taking into account what this could all turn into. maybe if russia had thought about actively, they would have realized that they are facing much greater difficulties than they could have imagined . i think that the problem is that it is difficult for putin to perceive ukraine as an independent state with its own identity and a strong government and a strong society that will not fall apart even with one push is still a problem that obviously originates in 1991 and stretches from the collapse of the

soviet union to the color revolution from then until 2014, i think that when russia seized crimea and it seemed to get away with it, it probably thought that it could return this again in the future. i believe that part of the problem was the alarming state of affairs in donetsk and luhansk. i and others believed that everything suits the russians but putin seems to have decided to move on and say goodbye to him once and for all of his in the east of ukraine in 14-15

putin made many mistakes in ukraine starting from february this year and he suffered many failures , if he does learn the right lessons, how could the battlefield look like in the coming weeks or months i think that the main problem of putin and russia is that they lost the chance to win a conventional war on the battlefield with different tactics to have this kind of gains in the first weeks of the war but they tried to bite off a big piece that they could not swallow then they threw the summer very a lot of people and equipment for the donetsk direction, and there are not enough people, in fact

, the mobilization provides only limited help in this and they have to use old stocks, while ukraine, as we know, has strengthened and has a stronger motivation because people understand what they are fighting for, you get modern western equipment, which has really changed the situation, i believe that the stage that has been reached is that russia is desperate to get a line to contain the ukrainian counterattacks, strengthen human resources and try to achieve some progress in donetsk on our own, we all we know that, but now it is combined with a rather brutal campaign to undermine the will of the ukrainian people by attacking your infrastructure in residential areas and it is very similar to the beginning full-scale invasion which you all well remember now russia is behaving more and more

desperate taking more extreme measures trying to change the situation i don't think they will be able to achieve any success in any direction but again it's not for me to tell you what they still can there was a lot to inflict, do you see at least some logic in what putin is doing now in ukraine? there is a certain logic here, the most logical thing would be to accept the fact that he will not be able to conquer ukraine, because it is impossible for it not to happen now the ukrainian people and their willingness to resist are just and very powerful, that's why putin is looking for

some way out, but it's obvious that this is a big blow for him and he doesn't want to do it. i think that in the last month he threw everything he had into the war except for nuclear weapons. we must realize that nuclear weapons allowed putin to do, namely, they gave him a certain impunity for all those actions that he dared to do, there is a certain logic in this, the main one is based on the assumption of intimidation that everyone can be forced to give up things that are for him important and if you hit hard enough, that's what he 's trying to continue to do, do you think he'll ever dare to push the nuclear button regarding the use of nuclear weapons? we have to realize that putin is already using nuclear weapons

. he's using them as a deterrent for nato. so what about nuclear weapons, if russia was not a nuclear power, it could be like a cancer in 1991 when it invaded kuwait and the usa and their allies immediately came to the defense of saudi arabia with the intention of liberating kuwait from this did not happen in ukraine because the countries of the west do not want a nuclear war. this is how he uses nuclear weapons. he has done crazy things and may continue in the future. that is why no one can claim that nuclear weapons will not be used at the moment. nuclear weapons are his age. i think you understand what it gives . it is a kind of cover for him while he follows some strategy, in the end, to

cause damage, you don't need nuclear weapons, because they are actually quite difficult to use on the field , i'm afraid of course, i'm a risk, just like any other russian techniques that it will turn out to be faulty, that they may not explode, or ukrainian forces will shoot down nuclear missiles and they will land in the wrong place, so i don't think that putin particularly cares to use nuclear weapons, but that's putin, no one will say that he definitely won't do it i hope he won't do it. we hear mr. friedman about the concentration of russian and belarusian troops in belarus near the ukrainian border. do you think an attack from belarus is possible at the moment? yes, but i would be very surprised. i think

that russia continues to use belarus to distract the armed forces of ukraine so that they, just in case, were in a position to do this and this is working well for them . i think that for belarus, for president lukashenko among his people and also among his army, soon if it rains, i understand why once again, putin continues to act in his usual style, that is, to throw everything he can to solve the problem, he may be tempted now. but like many other such steps, this can lead to very bad consequences. lukashenko

, you know that he is now in a rather vulnerable position. if he will become even more attached to putin, this vulnerability may increase, and yet the circumstances force the ukrainian forces to remain in combat readiness, mr. friedman, can putin now change the current world order? i think the russians are very interested in this because everyone saw them as a great power and for them to act as a great state, but it is not such a state anymore, they have nuclear weapons, they have the right of veto in the security council of the united nations, but now we see how much they have reduced themselves in the military in terms of their army, they lost a lot of officers

, a formidable reputation, so compared to china, which is now a great power, it creates real challenges for the west, in my opinion, turned russia into an isolated pariah, it will become increasingly weaker economically. so, in this sense, the world order, which is undergoing changes because russia is slipping do we have diplomacy now a chance to put an end to this war , it is necessary to make a lot of effort to make diplomacy work, there are many people who talked about becoming a potential mediator, etc. yes ukraine he is clearly not going to cede his territory, and putin is claiming an area that he does not even territorially control, that is, if

russian is spoken in the region and he should be automatically dismissed, uh, d role, there are issues that can be discussed. i am convinced that there will come a moment when the russian military will feel completely incapable on the battlefield, i would support the strategy of encouraging military negotiations, which , of course, does not mean agreeing on a cease-fire, but rather a cease-fire that left russian troops on ukrainian territory and a cease-fire. when ukraine says that it is ceasing fire during the withdrawal of russian troops, then there are still so many issues that will need to be considered, for example, during a real peace

conference, at which it would be possible to offer russia, let's say, economic sanctions, but instead they must resolve issues such as extortion , war crimes, kidnapping, guarantees of neutrality and security, demarcation of all borders, so that they are properly reconciled again in legal language all these things are very difficult issues especially if you try to solve them all at the same time the war will continue therefore it will take a long time to implement all these issues so first you need to withdraw russian troops from ukraine for this you can offer a cease fire i believe that on the battlefield there will be the most definite actions, the crimean issue will become even more acute. i know the ukrainian position and i fully

support it, and i think that if russia cannot make a serious proposal to end the war ukraine will have all the incentives to recapture crimea in practice, the americans and others will be very worried because of too strong pressure in the military plan, everything is much more difficult. i think that crimea will take a turn, but i understand very well why this opinion should be encouraged right now. friedman putin is trying to act in various ways in this is his strategy for ukraine. either he has no strategy at all. i think that his strategy includes attracting all possible resources to solve

problems, name something, and he will do it for any reason. the price now he declared martial law introduced mobilization he threatens with nuclear weapons he attacks your infrastructure the civilian population they are pushing as many people as possible to kill to stop the advance of the ukrainians they are just trying to do everything at once and there comes a moment when it all just doesn't work so ah ah i accept as and you are all about what can be done with this person, but i do not think that this is part of the victory strategy, all his efforts do not actually lead ukraine to capitulation, and a good strategy is crowned with success

so when he realizes what awaits him about you that the people around him can eliminate him at any moment. this is what we are especially waiting for. will there be a place for putin in russia after ukraine wins this war, it is difficult to say. i think that putin took a lot of risks and the damage he inflicted on russia is the same as the damage he inflicted on ukraine, it is colossal. russia was not attacked on its territory, but it lost tens of thousands of people and

the economy will only deteriorate, as will the economy of ukraine, but ukraine has a chance to recover thanks to foreign aid, no one is going to help russia in particular, and while putin is an international pariah , it will be very difficult to establish relations, and at the end of the world, so we can hope that he will go . in our countries, if you make such mistakes, resignations from uh-uh dictatorship help. putin controls the security forces, so we'll see what happens

next. i think that agony may come for russia. many issues were kept silent during of the last decade can be thrown out if putin is vigilant and this is another reason why he will be under quite strong pressure and also in the exit in case the current measures do not bring him results and my last question to you for today who is putin in essence he is a spy it is clear that he is not a military man; they would never do. people who adhere to a military strategy spy view that you can manipulate how people perceive reality that you can lie and everyone knows that you are lying he knows that people

they know that he is lying but they feel that he can get away with it now he is quite ideologically oriented i do not want to say that this is somehow connected with the national issue, in particular with what he says about ukraine and its relations with russia , there is no small story for him no meaning of acting in accordance with some ultra-nationalist program that is also reinforced by people from the fsb who surround him, this is a very dangerous ideology and now it is connected with the conviction that he can always achieve his goal if his will always prevails from being shocked by the fact that there was a country that does not

obey him. that is why i think that he is trying to find a way out in his place. smart people declared victory and left. he does not know how to do it. he is a person who has lived for a long time in a world that has created this fictional world that does not exactly reflect reality but in this world putin goes his own way i hope he will not find a way out of the situation he is in now thank you very much mr. friedman for the conversation and your sincere answers thank you for your opinion i wish the best to everyone ukrainians, well, for our viewers, i want to repeat

and remind you that today i spoke with a very important person, an emeritus professor of the king 's college london, mr. lawrence friedman, he is engaged in he is an expert in military research , so it is quite logical that we talked with him about the war that now it is going on in ukraine, but how will we win this war, and then, of course, it will win and fade into oblivion. well, that's all i have. my name is yuri fizer. see you soon. we are looking for 17-year-old liberty bodnar, who disappeared again in the capital of dityna at the beginning of october. without permission doctors, she left a specialized medical facility in the podilsk district, she is leaving, she may be

staying now, no one knows, so your help is extremely important, look carefully at the girl's photo, she looks plus or minus on her 17 years, liberty's height is about 165 cm, she is thin, she has long blond hair on the day of her disappearance was wearing exactly as in this photo black sweatpants with white writing on the left leg a black sweat shirt and a dark jacket with a pink lining if anyone has seen liberty bodnar does anyone know where she can stay now, do not delay and call us on the hotline of the magnolia child tracing service at this number 116,000 calls from any mobile operator are free or write to the chat bot of the child tracing service in telegram, any information is important, i want to note that the story of this girl is very difficult and at the same time already quite well-

known because liberty bodnar was wanted for more than one and a half years, the first time she disappeared in the capital back in january 2020, then she was only 15 years old, liberty is not a very interesting name, that's why she sometimes she can call herself leika angelika eh sometimes she can change her name ms. tatyana psychologist of the social and psychological rehabilitation center children come here when their families have difficult life circumstances or the children themselves need help this is exactly what happened with liberty the first time the girl got there to a special center back in october 2019, and after a few months she ran away from there, the child stayed with us for a short period of rehabilitation, work with her has only just begun, but there have already been many positive changes, that is, she has become she became more open to communicate with caring

adults, they gradually began to communicate with children , she vkontakte with other children, she is more selective, she keeps herself so comprehensive well, she can do something there, they can draw, but with adults, what did the psychologists liberty bodnar say at the time, she easily makes contact, she is very open, can communicate and even asking for help very quickly can turn to adults around for help and er, be it a woman or a man, she can ask for help, so it is very important if to this girl will contact someone to call either the police or magnolia because these girls really need help even then, in the fall of 2019 , the girl was admitted to the social and psychological rehabilitation center due to serious problems and she needed special

care after her escape. the search for the child lasted more than one and a half years, and even in the summer of 2022, liberty bodnar managed to find the girl. she again ended up in a specialized medical institution. she stayed there for about three months and again for some reason. in a very good tradition, the girl managed to escape from there, in communication with those around her, she behaves like an ordinary teenage child, so it is impossible to guess that she has some disease. i know that liberty has a mother and a grandmother who also live in the capital, but where the child is now is unknown and so if you have seen this girl somewhere or maybe she asked you for help and you know something about her fate, do not delay and call us on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 116 000 000 calls from any mobile operator are

free even a small piece of news about a missing girl can become very important so that ukrainians don't think about it so that they don't talk about it comes first anyway war war and our victory seven days a week from monday monday seven different spheres of human activity sport culture politics eight hosts espresso journalists experts opinion leaders in real time about the most current events through the prism of war every day author's projects on espresso i am iryna koval mother my wife is the presenter of the espresso tv channel. and i am also a volunteer for our military at the front
