in the baltic countries and in central asia, according to you, russia will have enough opportunities, money, and weapons, of course, in order to keep this huge, huge army of 1.5 million people, and won't this be just the beginning of what the russian the e-federation will start spending a lot on the army and for everything else it will simply not have enough money . the remark is absolutely correct. the fact is that it is not so difficult to collect 1.5 million e-e citizens of the russian federation to complete the tissmr , but they will also take a narrow range of specialized e-e specialists in the specialists who we will have to ensure the activities of that army, this is also determined by the e-e military accounting specialties e-e positions e junior team commanders - this is also the

logistics service - this is also the engineering and technical service , that is, those specialists who need quite a long time of preparation for training, and more, if we look at the flight crew of the russian army, we know that a huge amount of not only aircraft was destroyed, but also the raids of the occupiers, the pilots themselves, who operated these letter machines, where will the russians take them er, we are looking at the same specialists again - they will take a sufficient number of the same equipment that met the requirements of the current high-tech war, remove from long-term storage equipment that was manufactured in the terry 60s and 70s of the last century, this is a matter of efficiency and the high technology of such units, which will be equipped with such equipment, is not discussed here, so then he can dream about anything, but it is obvious that his wishes and er and address in no way

correspond to her in terms of capabilities and opportunities in to the russian federation and in the fact that he is wrong and from time to time or even with a certain regularity they prove this thesis of the ukrainian defense forces, because in addition to the one you mentioned in makiyivka, in the last three days there have been at least two attacks on the territory of the kherson region with huge losses in one in this case, it is said that at least 500 were destroyed and parallel russians, about which in another case there is no confirmed information so far, but the russians lost there. well, again, there was a certain place of birth . losses in the russian battle formations, i think that in the near future we will hear information from the ukrainian general staff about how much russia was destroyed, although again, if we look at the daily summary of the ukrainian general staff for the last few days, there are less than 700 russian soldiers or people who were destroyed as a result of effective fire by

ukrainian artillery, well, i have not seen such fewer numbers, that is, more than 2,000 people were destroyed, because during the first three days in 2023. well, obviously, this number must be multiplied by three more to receive medical injuries there and those who were wounded. by the way, we have a small video from the samara region where those who died in makiivka were brought, or at least you see, people came and brought flowers to the monument and say that they saddened by the fact that the occupiers were destroyed in makiivka, there are a lot of these people, judging by the fact that many people came. i think that these are relatives and relatives, and eh. accordingly, we can only imagine how many people there are under the rubble in makiivka after the attack, eh, the ukrainians remained well, that's it

another story, so to speak, mr. colonel. thank you for participating in the program. it was vladyslav seleznyov, a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine. well, friends, i will remind you that we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social platforms on youtube and facebook for those who is currently watching us on youtube and facebook, please like our video. well, for those who watch us exclusively on youtube, i will say that you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel under the video, you can find the sponsor button there quite a lot simple instructions, that's all to do, we will need your help. well, we also conduct a survey on youtube. the survey sounds like this: are you ready for a long-term war with russia? we formulated this question based on the data of british intelligence and british intelligence forecasts that they say that this war will be

long-lasting. so, the options for answers are yes, no, and you can leave your option under this video in the comments. we will definitely read it and give our answer to these comments. well, on and on, we have friends on communications ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general, former deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-2010, generals good day, good health to you and thank you for joining our conversation. and good health to you, please, mr. colonel let's talk about the results, i'm sorry, i keep confusing your titles, i'm sorry, it's the second time in the programs that mr. general, mr. lieutenant general, i remember so, mr. general, let's start with the

results, the armed forces of ukraine liberated 40% of the territory of ukraine that was originally occupied of a full-scale invasion of russia on february 24, 2022, this is more than 40 thousand square kilometers or 28% of the entire territory occupied by the russian military, including crimea - these are the results of last year, which were made public by general luzhuj, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, the ukrainian army restrains the enemy on a land area 3,786 km long in particular , the active front line is one and a half thousand kilometers long, according to zuluzhnoy, during 2022 , russia lost more than 100,000 servicemen killed by thousands of tanks 6 000 armored vehicles 2000 artillery systems 420 salvo fire systems about 300 combat aircraft and 270 helicopters e p generals ot

based on these conclusions valery zaluzhnyi what can we say about the prospects of 2023 , what is the trend in the russian-ukrainian war and what are the prospects for the year that we are already met i think that ukraine will fight for the prospect of liberating the territory, entering the legal internationally recognized borders of 1991 , for this, a lot will have to be done to defend and fight for the implementation of these perspectives and will take place in the near future. i think the steps are in order in this situation, when we are conducting a strategic defense operation, the second stage, after impressing

the enemy with the first strategic offensive operations in the north of our country. they failed its blitzkrieg. the stage is even lower in the south and east of our country, but so far the potential of the enemy is greater than the potential of the military armed forces of ukraine and he manages to advance slowly, but let's say to the territory of donbass, although it is known that in the donetsk region there were the deadlines set by putin several times. they are not being carried out and these tasks are not being carried out. all of his reports were about the fact that

the luhansk region has already been captured. to force the enemy to stop , that is, to complete our defense operation, and in the presence of prepared reserves of weapons and equipment that we expect from our allies, and it should be able to provide offensive actions in special steppe areas as we can see, there is a difference in the personnel trained on this technique, that is, in this way, the sfor reserves are fundamentally important now, who will be the first to prepare reserves of the appropriate level, which would provide the opportunity to carry out e-e and conduct combat operations, well, for ukraine, of course, this is about the liberation of the occupied territories, and it definitely works the factor of the nature of the weather, the weather in a week somewhere,

the frosts will be analyzed. and this is the time when it is better to use offensive equipment, and for offensives we need infantry fighting vehicles for our infantry or armored combat vehicles vehicles, tanks for support on land and strike aircraft in the air, as well as strike means, artillery and drones and kamikaze and strike drones, in total, whoever will be the first to prepare and start action, we hope that this is the strength of the defense of ukraine, he will be able to more effectively achieve the goals of the next operations general, you mentioned the situation of deterioration of weather conditions for us or improvement of conditions for those who are fighting, when there will be frosts and when both sides will obviously

use this situation in order for the equipment to move forward. the south in the east, how do you think the russian occupiers will use this situation , because there are forecasts not only for the east of the south, but also for the north, we know that from the north we are 1100 km from the border of the common border with the republic of belarus, or will the russians still dare enter from that side not even in order to achieve some kind of success, but in order to stretch and balance our forces in the north. it will depend on the extent to which the appropriate reserves will be prepared . levels companies of battalions and the regimental

brigade level remains. this is a fairly high level, and it takes a month. perhaps, but the question is how to provide these equipment for the offensive action of ammunition, which has recently begun to be limited. a decision will be made by putin and his generals regarding how to apply this reserve, i.e. whether from this point of view it will be appropriate to start a substantial share of it, about 100,000 is needed in order to offensives from the north must be effective, at least somehow er, and the rest to strengthen our actions in the east and south, most likely in the east, but there

may be options, as they say, so here is the effort of the states and allies of the whole reason in terms of the time of preparation and the quality of preparation of the corresponding forces of the corresponding reserves for in order to carry out the prepared version of actions, and this will be the final solution to the conflict. during the last month, we have seen the activity of russian aviation and russian moped drones, so-called massive attacks mass raids of mopeds, several waves that they launch in the direction of large cities and first of all kyiv. how has our air defense system changed over the

last year? works on the territory of the ukrainian state or has this system changed or has it somehow been adjusted with the arrival of new equipment that is given to us by the member countries of the north atlantic alliance at the time when i was a brigade commander, this is a commander in command of a higher level, but it was the kyiv brigade is exactly the brigade that is currently showing incredible results, it is performing tasks related to covering the airspace in the capital around it, which was noted by our supreme commander-in-chief, the president - this is very good. the results are so that in order to more effectively perform the tasks of air defense and

anti-missile defense. and these other possibilities must be strengthened in a short time in air defense, this means that the means some will destroy aridynamic targets , flying airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, targets can destroy further old soviet complexes, which are still in our service, well, and definitely new ones that are provided to us, but for now, a small amount is meant and finally the american messence and the german airstes well and others , let's say, the short-range complexes of that saspita, spanish, italian, nakradel, french, the latest reinforcement from the united states

with a complex of painkillers. quite a lot of americans are needed, there are complexes of this kind and they need to be established as soon as possible to ensure a sufficiently high level of means of destruction of the air forces, and also in this sense, fighters perform tasks, and to be effective, you definitely need fighters , e-e, modern generation 4 +, which includes in 16-18 15 well, at least let's say that when links are possible, especially what they have, it is possible to use modern weapons to destroy the air force, a separate topic is anti-missile defense, and here we need the complexes on which to make a political decision, it is as if the beginning of the painting

of anti-missile defense in ukraine, these are the complexes of petriv paktri natyryny, which were held in their time, and, let's say, exams in the war in cancer, and they have such capabilities, it is the latest modification of pak 3 and the franko complexes the italians, i myself, those or the mamba, which also have such capabilities, are small, that is, the supply so far by batteries may not be much , but from this begins a very important matter regarding the possibility of destroying ballistic hypersonic missiles. this is fundamentally important for our country to protect against the planting of trees by such armed adversaries, mr. generals, it is known that the united states of america has already promised one patriot system for ukraine, and now our military must be trained in how to use this

patriot, how many, according to your calculations, how many of these do we need systems in order to close the sky system in ukraine from russian strikes, well, this figure is so conditional because it is impossible. even if it has a long-range complex, this complex is 160 km, and this is from aerodynamic, simpler targets, let’s say a-and for er-er hm, it means football hypersonic missiles, that’s tens of km, er, the radius is decreasing, and that’s why er-er, it means er-er, an idiotic country in the world does not have such a number of means of defense to solve the issue of closing all targets on the territory of the united states the same israel, well, any country, because the means of attack will still be the same, the

question is more about how effective we can be in terms of improvement, and here we have a lot and say as much as we need, when we are provided with one more battery for the pact three, then in in the future, because we still need time to study listening, and it will take two months or more, and also, well, it would be good if at least one battery was given to the french and italians , because france has 15 of them in italy, and 10. a small amount, and by handing it over to us, they weaken their respective capabilities, so it is impractical to talk about such a number, it is impractical, it is possible to solve this issue by concentrating those means that have on the main objects, we can see from the simple fact that the enemy is concentrating his attacks on the capital on kyiv and therefore. so here it is necessary to cover

the objects in kyiv around in kyiv and also other military and er critical economic objects that are important for us in this case . it is important to cover these objects. that's why it should be there. dozens . and what would be better is hundreds, but we don't have such opportunities at the moment. that's why we are happy with every complex that is transferred. our military quickly learns and effectively uses it . which is very important and this way we let's follow it further, the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense , general kyrylo budanov, says that the russian federation has two massive strikes against ukraine, they are reducing the number in order to obtain and keep an imitation

of the intensity of these missiles, at the same time, as budanov says, russia needs one missile attack to work for 1.5-2 months, now they are already talking about the fact that even in belarus they want to open a factory for the production of rockets so that they have time to create rockets for the shelling of ukraine, you are a person who knows for sure the capabilities of the russian federation regarding this missile, how they create, how quickly they restore their capabilities . three shots, in principle, they will not have such a reserve, or there will be some minimum reserve, what is the limit that they cannot exhaust further, well, of course , everyday, more information, he is working professionally with the apparatus on this, the small question

is primarily about modern missiles on the other hand, we can see that the opportunities are steadily increasing, not to the same number as they started this war, but the enemy is looking for these missiles or similar expressions and in the northern track, frankly, until i say whether the chinese are helping or not, but everywhere they attack first secondly, and firstly, they are engaged in restoration, i.e., the company has switched to three 12-hour shifts, including saturdays. well, and so on. another issue is that there are no spare parts, they are engaged in smuggling for modern missiles, that is, the bottom line is that i want to say that everything is exactly the same. the enemy will still have opportunities to strike, that is, there is no need to be amateurish about it, not emotions, but we will wait a few weeks and there

will be no strikes, unfortunately, and that is why here is the way for us, such as we talked about with you, reinforcement against narrative defense the formation of its anti-missile defense and the implementation of such measures means the relative destruction of the air forces already after their launch. and it is even better to destroy them before they launch the sessions of their carriers, that is, ground ones must be the ships should also be destroyed by missile submarines or not, in the black sea, which carry calibers, it is necessary to destroy the planes, how is it done? long -range complexes will not appear at the airfields, so it will be possible to destroy them in the air before they launch missiles, this is ours the way is definitely necessary to follow-up exactly which missiles and the number will be er. what are the remaining soviet missiles? they are using them now. there are thousands

of s-300 complexes. finished modernized land options, that is, the possibilities in them will remain one way or another, and therefore we need to focus on e, i say again, that means the increased effectiveness of anti-aircraft missile defense and the destruction of means of the admission of these means of air attack of the enemy e-e p generals, that’s for sure even in the event of our victory or, let's say, a conditional peace if it is between ukraine and russia, we will still not get anywhere from the russian federation, this threat from the air will still exist, rockets from airplanes and i i understand that, obviously, 10 or 15 years ago,

no one even imagined that it was possible that we would consider russia as a country waging an aggressive war against, well , against ukraine, or do we need to remake the entire air defense system and, in general, the entire security system well, considering this factor, will we be able to live peacefully next to such an unmarried neighbor even after our victory? the account of the supply of new equipment is foreign, and we also have the appropriate direction and separate e-e of our enterprises and in the industrial complex e which should be developed and primarily rely on them, but after all, there is no country in the world that includes that and there the united states of

israel in order to be able to produce the whole range of weapons, the majority and less, it is clear, but there is absolutely none, so what i mean by these approaches is objective, it is necessary to build security for our country, collective security, as well as the security of one's country at the expense of that to ensure your defense forces all the time , not as they did at the beginning of the existence of an independent country, when 1% of the gross domestic product was allocated to ukraine. and this in any state means the slow death of its armed forces, which happened in ukraine and now we are trying to catch up with the whole situation but the war has already come to our house in connection with this and we have drawn conclusions. i think that we will not

allow such a thing in the future and that is why we will do it now. and this is done by building defense from the air and land and from the sea. thank you mr. generals, thank you for participating in the program . this was ihor romanenko, lieutenant general of the armed forces of ukraine and former deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. thank you all for your attention, friends. see you tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. goodbye , when i found a working store in three letters, it is closed, the light is gone, please, this bouquet is lucky. we have it and it does not disappear. yes, the generator on the street is humming. ukrainian
