increase in the number of the armed forces of the russian federation and the formation of new reserves for conducting new operations in the next year, then we can conclude that russia has lost its, let's say , the opportunities or chances that it relied on to create a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine at the expense of inflicting massive missile strikes during the winter season and only then to break the static situation, it is obvious that the next plan of the russian leadership did not succeed, and therefore they decided to move on to the next build-up of the armed forces and obviously, they are preparing a model in two or three months for a new stage of hostilities with the implementation of strategic work and possibly involving the territory of belarus. now there are no reserves there, and in this connection, of course , it is now profitable for russia. or i i would say so, it is extremely necessary to create conditions

when the situation at the front will really freeze and become a kind of viscous viscera. although with high intensity eh with great losses with eh fierce battles, but in fact the situation at the front will actually be at a dead end and then russia will really get its two or three months to prepare new reserves. in this regard, it is of course extremely important for ukraine to prevent such a freezing of the situation and during these two or three months to try to conduct offensive operations that will knock out the russian leadership's initiative with from the point of view of the creation of reserves , that is, so that the russian reserves had the same situation as with the first wave of mobilization . that is, it was carried out, but all these mobs were thrown, let's say, into the holes that were created at the front, they could not

to create a reserve or or they could not create combat-capable units that would carry out separate operations, that is, all this was smeared with a thin layer and it somehow dissolved in the general combat situation, that is, it is important for us now to continue offensive operations and uh, the president and uh, the chief of the main directorate of intelligence they talked about the fact that we need, of course, samples of weapons, and general zuluzh clearly stated in his article or in his interview even about the amount of heavy artillery that we needed yesterday, by the way again, there was another publication that they are apparently considering the transfer of the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, which of course this machine is , let's say, a separate separate direction, if it is transferred to us, it will of course be a transition to heavier armored vehicles, which we have never had , i have i mean precisely to ensure the operations of

the infantry. and, to be honest, i'm not sure that this will happen in just two or three months, that is, obviously, the samples of weapons that we talk about all the time in these two or three months will not reach us. there are no tanks there hundreds of artillery and all the more bradley, so now, unfortunately, we have to live in these two or three months in the conditions that we have, that is, in fact, we can talk about the most difficult period where the west once again expects a miracle from us, how to spend successfully carried out an offensive operation using the stockpile of weapons that is available and not what we actually need, now we have to once again demonstrate that we are capable of winning even in such conditions, of course, but in any case, it still arises such a question is about weapons because there is a certain category of equipment, such as you mentioned there, about tanks, about airplanes that

are behind a certain red line , even this trip of the president of ukraine to washington, where he gave a wonderful speech, and then at the press conference, they ask about those samples of weapons and he says such a strange phrase that we do not want to transfer weapons that can destroy the unity of the alliance. and actually this explanation sounded a bit strange to me. in your opinion, are there still any red lines there or is it possible to explain with some other arguments from the american side well, there really are red lines because the same kanser schols constantly declares that germany itself will not unilaterally transfer tanks to ukraine, well, excuse me, that is, biden-scholtz are pointing at each other and saying that if he delivers, then i will deliver if he not to put it, i won’t put it either, it’s obvious that these are refusals, because the same germany also supplies us

with heavy weapons, although these are weapons , for example, or artillery, and i don’t think that, for example, the same leopard tank -is should provoke russia more than the super cool 155 mm self-propelled artillery installations, which have a much higher, let's say, fire effect er from the point of view of impact on the front, that is, there is some er, in fact, a strange mental situation and the same with the patriots, because this is anti-aircraft- a missile system that obviously cannot provoke russia in any way. and although russia managed to make such a statement, it is also very surprising that these are legitimate targets on the front. well, of course, these are legitimate targets on the front, just like any russian samples of weapons or officials of the aggressor country, that is, there are no problems here, why were these land-based missile

complexes not handed over to us, for example, before the beginning of the winter period, when russia began in october these uh, genocidal, i would call missile attacks and of course, what if we had several batteries, er, patriot mirrors, by winter, then we could have resisted more effectively, and maybe russia did not resort to these missile attacks at all, because it did not make much sense, therefore, er, the position of nato is actually very strange, and it is er, more neutral than er, that one it could be called proactive or leadership in this geopolitical reality that we have, that is, nato is trying to declare that they are for ukraine, but they do not want to intervene in the conflict, they do not want to allow the third world war, they do not want to escalate the conflict with russia, this is a strange situation or in any in the case of the reality in which we are now, it is necessary to enter into a conflict, otherwise you will simply be defeated, because russia is waging a war for the survival of

putin, the putin regime, they obviously understand that this situation can end the complete disappearance of putin's regime and they are fighting for their lives. and here there can be no compromises, but one still tries to be in some neutral status, which is absolutely unacceptable, including from the point of view of the interests of the alliance after all, after this war, the alliance may not look quite let's say it alive and the question will arise again whether this organization can be called the skeleton of the european security system of the euro-atlantic , especially if it is necessary to form some other structures, well, by the way, here is another explanation about american policy, there appeared a number of publications, in particular, there is a large article by henriques, he is hot, where he talks about the fact that it is necessary to ensure, so to speak, the controlled capitulation of russia, and for this

period i have they say that in power he has putin should remain, but this is a controlled capitulation of russia, it will continue during the period when we will bear sacrifices on the battlefield and actually endure these political paradigms that individual politicians are now trying to build, or is there an option that part of the american aesthetic will now push this concept that it is necessary to somehow slowly ensure the disintegration of the russian federation and the intensity of military aid to ukraine will directly depend on this. to be honest, i think that neither in the united states nor in most european capitals there is absolutely no clear understanding of what to do with russia, that is the main problem, they are again, like in 90-91, very afraid of the next, let's say, stage of transformation of this

the space of this empire, which in 1991 passed the first stage of collapse. to be honest, in 1991, the westerners could calmly and easily resolve the issue of the transformation of this empire into even more states, 30-40 states, and now we would not have that the problems we have now, that is, it is possible that some of the states that would be formed would have ideas about revenge, but these would be, let's say more, still, er, such er, er, volunteerist ideas of individual local politicians who would not have a global global threat, but now we too we are again in conditional, for example, in the 1989s and 1990s. when the same old man was there, he came to kyiv and read out his chikin, eh, kiev-chekin speech, in which he says that ukrainian nationalists threaten global security, and therefore the soviet union must be preserved . it was in july

of 1991, that is, in fact, there were many elites, french, german, and british. in those years, they tried to preserve the soviet union, because they said that it would be chaos, nuclear weapons are incomprehensible, some kind of national elites will have to negotiate with them like this it is better to control moscow and e and moscow will already establish control over others, and now the same is the case, that is, ukraine has made a quantum leap in its political if we remember what happened a year ago, then, in fact, no one could have imagined that russia would be on the verge of collapse, and ukraine would endure the onslaught of this putin regime, because we know that in february, even in germany, we were given three days in the german government. that is, it was a general understanding of the situation. well , putin decided to do it. he will do it. we'll see what happens next. how will it go and now a completely different situation, it is obvious that the west is not ready, and because of this they are trying

to move as much as possible, let's say, move slowly , not to give the possibility of a quick victory, because it is obvious that there is also an aspect of sanctions, as far as i am concerned, that is, if we really imagine that finally this is an oil and gas embargo drop of energy prices to the world, they will suppress the putin regime a little slowly. let's say not by military means, but by economic means. somewhere in six months, the west may be ready for more active actions, and then ukraine is not sure they will give all their weapons because it will be clear that ukraine will fulfill the tasks of the euro-atlantic space to stabilize the former russia and everyone will understand what is going on, now they are afraid that putin is still strong enough, he has enough resources to retaliate against nato is against the entire collective effort here. it seems to me that this is the main problem. by the way, you mentioned that at the ministry of defense colleague, russia approved an increase

in its army to one and a half million. actually, they they want to create a new army instead of the one that was already destroyed, and in fact they want, on the one hand, to draw the concept from it to the format for attrition, so they are wondering whether this format is actually attrition or it will not actually become the basis for to be honest, further destruction of the russian federation itself, because this concept of a war of attrition is, in my opinion, economically burdensome for russia itself, because the impression is that this is not the path that they want to implement, which, precisely, because of this , it is not for attrition in terms of i absolutely support the approaches of the aggressor. that is, it is an attempt by either the generals or putin himself to somehow delay time, that is,

of course, their ideas failed. of oil prices. they thought that if they stop supplying oil and gas, then the price of gas in europe will now be 5,000 €, uh, he knew there would be problems, the economic crisis in europe, new politicians are coming in ukraine , in general, in my tarna crisis again migration flow and again the pressure on european politicians support for ukraine is falling and sometime in the spring it is possible to take europe as a warmonger and ukraine and dictate your terms, everything went completely wrong and now they are forced to return to the eu -e such a direct extensive e-e let's say so e-e model to simply create another army , you are absolutely right, you said because until february 24, russia traditionally had somewhere around 300,000 combat core of the army, which is obviously already broken and now they are creating a new core for they need time for this, of course, because it is not so

easy for them, it is several decades, well, anyway , after serdyukov's reform, they prepared this core of a combat professional, which is about a trillion dollars, they have spent on military equipment over the years since 2010 , but as we can see it all disappeared during this year. ukraine destroyed it all and they will try and try to somehow find another trillion dollars or somehow get out of this situation by creating, as they say, a new army on minimalka, but of course it will only undermine economy, i would still look at some kind of asymmetric approaches in their place, they need to look for uh, technology, no solution, that is, in the war of the 21st century. if you make another million army and the enemy will have high technologies and high-precision mass weapons, then i think that it will just be an increase in losses, er, and just a meat grinder that putin may just be using as a time delay, and in the meantime,

he hopes, maybe he will come up with something else, some kind of crisis, maybe china, he says, he dreams, for example, china er, for some reason will support putin although i think that this is absolutely necessary, comrades, it is absolutely not necessary and in no way is it beneficial. well, by the way, regarding the search for funds regarding the sanction, you usually also mention the fact that sanctions should be introduced against russian seedlings because the energy component connected with the atom, now this is an important source of power for the russian empire, somehow we have to fight with it, which financial indicators are directly related to this component, what is happening there, well, rosatom published it , that is, i saw it in the western press, for example er, data on 50, about 50 contracts, several tens of billions of euros and dollars, and ruslatom published his film report just the other day, and it was written that they have a

portfolio of orders of about 200 billion dollars. that is, this is a huge amount that actually binds russia differences with our western partners, mainly because there are the united states and france and germany and hungary and turkey and other countries, that is, there really are 200 billion dollars, which actually explain why the west does not want to impose sanctions against seedlings or in the same 200 billion is the same including their money, and that's why no one wants to shoot themselves in the foot, but they will have to, because either, i'm sorry, let them withdraw their troops of the zaporozhian ace, vacate the territory around this nuclear plant, and stop engaging in nuclear terrorism, but i'm sorry, but or i'm sorry, we have to stop this a circus because it is really not worth 200 billion dollars, on the one hand, this company has contracts, and on the other hand, it actually manages the occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power

plant, these are two different realities that must be to unite him to make a decision and mr. mykhailo, the last question is that the main changes there politically, in the defense-industrial or military sector, should take place in the next year in order to have a decisive influence on our victory over the enemy. i think that all these trends are already planned for example, ours in our segment i mean our defense forces this is, of course, improving the control system, the intelligence system, bringing it to such a functional let's say functional, uh, just functionally effective level of use of the armed forces ukraine's intelligence-gathered strike complex, when all these processes will be brought to automaticity, for example, if you look at the combat operations near bakhmut , the ukrainian troops have found their model there

, it is obvious that now there is a very large amount of drones and high-precision artillery being used there it is very widely used, in fact, on a real time scale, to tactically inform the commander about the situation, how and when he can make decisions literally second by second to destroy the enemy i think it is necessary to spread the experience and make it a norm of absolutely normal practice, a kind of new combat statute of the ground forces , because this statute is being formed right now. well, regarding weapons, of course, we already talked about the fact that it is necessary to create a much-hyped anti-missile anti-e- air defense, i think all our western partners already understand it, and finally, with the arrival of petri, it will happen, i think that this process will only increase, and, of course, strike force, that is, why do we need

in fact, it’s not just because we want to liberate crimea. and to liberate crimea, we need to be able to strike again at the coastal infrastructure of the black sea fleet. and for this we need missiles. well, more than 80 km , now we have skymax. that’s why we need missiles. we are destroying 300 km of berehove infrastructure of the black sea fleet, airfields, air bases , accumulation of personnel, kumanian points, warehouses with ammunition, e-e, black sea fleet e-e, the ship depot is destroyed by anti-ship missiles, of course the crimean bridge is being destroyed, the peninsula is becoming an island. and after he said, once again , he played budanov, diplomacy comes in. you either surrender or we destroy you. this is the perspective , mr. mykhailo. i would like to remind the viewers that the espresso channels are on the air, because mykhailo himself is the head of the ancient realization of new-yo-politik-new-politik

srysovych network. good afternoon, mykhailik was just talking about the fact that we are now writing conventionally speaking combat statutes on the battlefield, taking into account new experience , new approaches and taking into account the new opportunities that the foreign armament of our armament provides us there and our non-trivial approaches to the use of this equipment and armament, now in almost 11 months of hostilities have passed and, in fact, it is possible to summarize certain intermediate results, considering that this year is coming to an end, i would like to ask you about what, in your opinion, has changed in approaches and conduct hostilities directly from the ukrainian side in order to play the organ at the tactical, operational and strategic level, well, first of all, it is a concert, but we are watching how

it is developing quite actively, that is, not realizing the time from the detection of the target by various means of information transmission, the solution is now quite complex for us communication literally in a second you will be re-hired and i will introduce that now we say goodbye to special operations forces servicemen and actually we are talking about what kind of changes both take place on the field because we usually linearly perceive what is happening on the front, counting only there the number of guns , the number of tanks we need for the negotiator, of course, it is important, but extremely

important . but it is this performance that is the most e-e indicative of superiority over the enemy. by the way, today there was an extremely interesting publication by the washington post, which described two e-e successful operations of the armed forces. this is an operation under e-e release of the kharkiv region and the situation related to the kherson region, where it was said that these operations had been planned for a long time and in fact the first operation is returning to our guests . at different levels, i.e. what is important do you feel directly relying on your experience , enough of your comrades and e commanders e-e so it is primarily e-e development of means of

intelligence, first of all aviation in various complexes from the smallest drones and ending with satellite communication , what information do we receive thanks to western partners, secondly, it is the transmission of information online to command centers that make decisions, at the same time, both at the highest level and at the tactical level. and this is defeating the enemy using high-precision weapons are first of all fivers eh, but also important the role of barrel artillery with guided projectiles is primarily escaliburg, that is, the development of such a scout on the strike complexes of land e-e troops now it is developing most effectively and brings a very great benefit to the armed forces of ukraine, it allows you to very quickly identify targets, make decisions on and defeat

and harvest targets without spending a large amount of ammunition, as it was a few months ago. and if we talk about e- e indicators regarding the number of our unmanned complexes in combat formations can we say that over the past months there has been an increase in the number of drones, as with this component, this is really happening, that is there is saturation at the tactical level , that is, at the level of infantry units. well, of course, we are not talking about powerful complexes, but rather budget-friendly commercial complexes of quadcopters and at the highest level. that is, these are already aviation complexes. airplanes. they are also actively entering the armed forces and indeed , this intelligence component is developing significantly, and it should be noted that if there are still several this is that information was received and transmitted in types of reporting, now

information is transmitted in many directions thanks to the satellite communication systems of the stalin system in online mode, that is, on monitors in command centers and no longer from a text message of the corresponding intelligence unit , the commander will make a decision, and he sees the situation in the same way as intelligence officers, that is, from their cameras, and makes a decision online. and you you mentioned that there is help from foreign partners in intelligence information, we made a publication just a few days ago and on the espresso channel we talked about the american palantir system , that is, it is a decision support system on the field because it relies on intelligence data from satellites and reaches the commanders, where it even offers the placement of battle orders of both its own and the enemy, and certain recommendations for the commander to simplify the entire instruction and decision-making process. has this system somehow

crept up on you, or has it not reached us yet, but we are scouting we received information from satellites, that is, even at our level we received certain information. that is, it is not yet an automated system. but intelligence information was also received about artillery. as i understand it, in your forces? are operating somewhere in the south in terms of the use of artillery. can we talk about the fact that there is a certain parity in artillery means on the part of the russians on the part of us or what the general picture may be in the second half of the year to characterize the ratio of our forces and the enemy's, well, let's say so, i think the word parity will not be correct enough, because if we go beyond quantitative indicators, the

russians continue to release more rocket shells according to the battle formations of the armed forces of ukraine, but operational parity can be said if we are talking about, well, let's say the number of targets hit, that is, due to the use of high-precision weapons, the armed forces of ukraine manage to solve the same fire tasks with a smaller number of shells, that is, we can already know about the parotid, and the main thing that we can talk about is the trend, that is, the dynamics of the processes that are capable of the armed forces of ukraine, it increases, and the capacity of the russians to the extent that the soviet ammunition stocks are depleted, because it decreases, that is, not from a good life, the russians began to extract there old howitzers from the time of the second world war are d1 er-e more actively have tanks for fire support with indirect fire, that is, closed

positions, that is, they are trying to compensate for the lack of classic artillery shells of caliber 122 152 at the expense of other means, and these processes will only deepen. that is, we can say that in a certain way parity already exists now, and in the next future we expect that the number of shells that the russian army is capable of producing will decrease, and the number of guns will be produced by the ukrainian army at the expense of both production and foreign supplies, it will increase, that is, we hope that here the palm of superiority will go to the armed forces of ukraine, sir, thank you for these comments . thank you for your time and for your inclusion . i will remind our viewers that on the air of the espresso channel or vyacheslav tseluyko, the military service of the special operations of the armed forces of ukraine, which are currently actively working on active countermeasures

against the enemy in various technological spheres. so, against the background of conversations with our expert we can conclude that we actually have all the prerequisites to ensure a technological advantage over the enemy, but the main thing is the spirit and skill of our armed forces, which ensure victory on the battlefield, taking into account the technological advantages and conventional weapons of the soviet era, which are still used quite effectively . the main emphasis in this military program and then stay on the espresso channel where there will be other interesting materials, we are looking for four-year-old anastasia tolstokorova the search for her has been going on for 9 months, but nothing is known about the fate of the girl. nastya lived with her parents in mariupol on zelinsky street. when the war started, the family was in no hurry to leave their hometown.

nastya's aunt, she is also the girl's godmother, who also lived in mariupol , told me about this. not far from my niece, we didn't communicate by e-e somewhere since march 2, that's exactly why we went home to visit them on march 8. i saw them for the last time, and my father went to see them on march 10, march 11. they they went to their parents, well, to her husband, they also lived nearby, and on the night of march 12, the area where the tolstokorov family lived began to be shelled en masse, and around four in the morning, one of the shells hit the apartment building where nastya lived with her parents, we know that on the 11th they would be seen and that was it
