[000:00:00;00] is swimming now in russia, it is about an internal russian game for nina , which manifests itself in one or another statements , and we have already seen extremely specific manifestations of what can be called the russian civil war, in particular, it is also about the events in belgorod region, but of course we will not only talk about this key story now, of course , the great battle of donetsk is unfolding, about this, about other, a retired colonel of the british army, glengrant and a political scientist who is in washington, andriy piankovskyi , glen grand will be on our air now grand colonel of the british army, retired military expert glory to ukraine mr. colonel get save the king love battles on the russian-ukrainian border shebekino belohorod region we understand history - this is a serious story in general it was predicted, but in russia it was not expected how do you assess

the unfolding of this situation it was a great attack and it really upset all russians in this region, of course russia moved troops from the donetsk region to the north in an effort to protect the border and this is quite a convenient step what will be the consequences in the long term, such actions weaken the enemy's defense of all potential places for a counteroffensive by the armed forces of ukraine, so the effect is felt both in the military and in the political plan. several arrivals of strange drones happened in moscow, no one took responsibility, it is meant to be about the origin of those drones, but in any case, in moscow they began to feel what they feel in

in kyiv, although it is of course a fundamentally lower level, the magic of imperial security is beginning to crumble in front of our eyes . what could be expected from the side of ukraine, i believe that if the ukrainian army was involved here, the consequences would be much worse, obviously the task was to create an effect similar to the effect of downed drones over the kremlin and the whole it is possible that this is an organized attack by russia, an attempt to gain political power for putin for the offensive measures he needs, more soldiers and more money for the defense of the system , he has problems because the current events on the front are currently favorable for ukraine, ukraine has seized a large part of

the initiative, and therefore putin has to do something, let's remember how he acted when he wanted to invade chechnya and now something very similar is happening. well , another strange statement by the former russian was extremely unexpected of president medvedev, he is now a member of the russian security council, for he stated that de facto britain is at war with russia, we understand that medvedev is only voicing what he prefers to agree in advance in the kremlin, let's understand that great britain has taken an unprecedented, extremely important step, in particular it is said about the allocation to ukraine of long-range storm shadow missile systems is so extremely important, we understand that even the americans have not gone to supply such missiles in russia feels that their rear

and logistics centers are under threat, although we use storm shadow only on our territory in order to help the russians remove their interventionists from our territory. well, all this is interconnected. first , it is now quite clear that the idea of ​​medvedev as a potential reformer president to be something different from putin has completely dissipated now it is very clear in his recent speeches the bears are just as evil as putin if not more and his attitude towards ukraine and the west as disparaging as it is in principle possible for a russian, the comment about great britain is interesting in that if you look at it that way, russia has been at war with the west since 2008, just now all this has come out for the first time. is it because they are going to act somehow, i am not sure

and if before that, if at all they will act is all this for the sake of domestic consumption , a kind of attempt to convince the public that the enemy is not only ukraine, the enemy is the west, the enemy is nato, the enemy is great britain. it seems to me that this is a more important moment of the storm shadow - this is the first long-range weapon provided to ukraine, which enables the defense forces to strike at some specific targets. for now, it is not about the crimean bridge, but about other targets that were still outside the range of damage, because we know that the russian military has moved its headquarters and logistics back to they were not hit by heimers until it radically changes the situation, which means that the russians will have to make a lot of additional

defensive efforts. i think that the storm shadowup in most cases will overcome their anti- air defense. thus, the russian frontline support has increased significantly and the command has come within range of ukraine . why are the americans still delaying the delivery of those long-range missiles? but it is possible that in the near future the administration of joseph biden will dare to make this important decision . russia and nato russia and the united states because then it will be very tragic for the whole world and at the same time unfortunately , the fact that the war is already happening is ignored we are already in in more ways than one. atakams are involved in it - it is a completely different fighting beast that is not similar to everything that is in ukraine, having such

a weapon, you can start destroying real objects, you understand not to burn, but to erase from the face of the earth, if you have seen the photos , the ministry of defense serbia after nato's response to the hopes of serbia, you understand what kind of damage such weapons can cause, so the biden administration believes that it can cross the line of launching a traditional war, but if putin was going to use nuclear weapons, then he would have already done it, because he has reasons for this there was a lot and he still didn't dare. in my opinion, america should provide atakams, because the very provision of such weapons to ukraine will let russia understand that the game is over, and until this happens, russia thinks that if they continue this war, there is a chance of victory . we should get rid of them of this opinion, making ukraine so powerful that they

realized that nothing would work out for them and then they would have to sit down at the negotiating table, and while america is delaying the provision of attack complexes , such a scenario is unfortunately receding over the horizon so this is a really important stage, one of the stages of this war, dear colonel, i regularly analyze the so-called russian propaganda and noticed that they increasingly began to use the term war, not just some abstract military operation, they are already gradually maturing in order to at least in their public space recognize that the war between russia and ukraine is going on, well, there is still a moment in this, the possibility that russia will officially declare war. do you think they will go for it? and how it can change

the situation, in particular, taking into account the fact that russia can try to use martial law and so on to mobilize their economy and ultimately mobilize their population that's a very valid point and i also noticed that just before our conversation i was watching a video from russia on youtube and the word war was in every other sentence so i think you you are right, if it is declared a war, then it will be a significant step, putin will have free hands to do whatever he wants, which means that he can freely dispose of the economy, weapons, people, and he will do this, it will mean that russia will again regain the initiative and advantage, putin's advantage will also be due to the fact that the ukrainian government was very slow in organizing the ukrainian

people to wage war, and this really worries me because if russia declares war , they will have a temporary advantage that will allow them to overtake ukraine in the long term, and even in the case of a successful counteroffensive or even the return of crimea, if russia firmly decides to declare war, it will be a long war, it will completely change everything then ukraine will have to reorient itself because at the moment most of ukraine is in peacetime and not wartime conditions your government really hopes for victory without doing anything serious this is my personal opinion they are just throwing people into the hell of war hoping that everything will pass but this will not happen if russia will declare war then it will be very serious people will have to rethink everything starting with the basic

principles of defense of ukraine and fendi crime dear mr. colonel if we are talking about possible scenarios of the war, we understand that there are several of them, most likely they can be assumptions or speculations, we do not know what is going on in the head of this collective russian madman, but we understand that one of the scenarios is a long, drawn-out meat grinder, so that is, they will regularly adjust their additional parts mobilize people and will try to hold the captured territories and push along the border line, the second option is escalation for the sake of escalation when they will raise the degree in order to reach other negotiating positions, another option is the involvement of third countries , we understand that in reality we are not so far from this, taking into account the strange missile in bydgoszcz on the territory of poland, in general, they are aware that

war does not have the ability to end just like that, usually wars only gain and gain momentum how do you see the unfolding of the nearest scenarios of this war, this is probably the most important question at the moment. i want to add to my previous answer that if russia really declares that this is a war, then the west will also have to make a decision about how it will react because nowadays most western countries still treat war as something they can do among secondary things and not as a major effort for the country and a serious war with russia will mean that people will have to look at it very differently not i think that russia now has the potential for something serious, besides continuing to throw more people without serious training, they do not have the opportunity

to develop highly professional soldiers, so they will act according to proven scenarios, there will be more bahmuts, let's say not one, but five bachmuts at the same time over the last year, russia has suffered many failures, i mean that after the initial big attacks in ukraine , it was possible to contain russia everywhere, i think that will continue to be the case, but this will mean that ukraine will lose many more people, so we must learn to fight in a different way, we cannot continue fight in the bakhmut format. because this format is too expensive . it can be good for the country from a political point of view, but not from a military point of view, because the best trained soldiers die. and in the case of

a protracted war, ukraine simply cannot afford to allow this, what do you think the russian air defense system is, if they will continue to hit our civilian cities with ballistic missiles, killing our civilians, well, it is quite logical if the prophecy of the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine oleksiy danilov, who warned the russians that he can be a ukrainian army drones can reach russia and this is not about the use of british or american long-range systems, it is about drones if you want an army of drones to attack russia, you will have to attract huge funds because drones do not fly that far and do not give any effect. if it is not the most expensive drones , we are talking about

drones not for a thousand dollars. systems that would allow them to be produced in large quantities, but it is possible and i hope that the necessary money and time are already being worked on it, the fact that danilov said this does not mean that someone is going to do it, let's ask ourselves what is the point of doing it over moscow, if the russian drones over kiev will rally people even more in the desire to win this war, it should be taken into account that the drone flights over moscow and the killing of people only strengthen the determination of the russians to their victory, one cannot think that they are different. this will probably have the same effect in the case of inflicting too much damage it is much more important to keep the population out of the war as much as possible while the main target should be their leadership we just got putin because people don't

like them if you start turning it into a war between the russian population and the ukrainians, i am afraid ukraine will be in great trouble because the russians have much more resources in terms of people and equipment endemic ot dear mr. colonel who do you think is currently leading the war from the russian side of the stable gerasimov prigozhin or patroshev or putin personally yes we we understand quite strange things, in particular the public marches of the criminal prigozhyn , which are formally headed by the criminal group wagner, we see how seriously he is going against shoigu and gerasimova, we understand that if nothing happens to him, which means that he is being covered by the federal security service of the russian federation, which is under the control or under the serious influence

of the same piece of paper. pertubations or now they are already starting to analyze the available levers of influence on the political situation that with putin alive, an interesting question , i think the only person who knows what is going on in prigozhin's head is himself prigozhin but it seems to me that prigozhin works for putin as before and is trying to distance himself from putin, the failure of shoigu and gerasimov, that he spoke in such a way to push them away from putin from the point of view of who is the main one. communicates with them, but now prigozhin exposes them as losers, setting them up for possible failure and gives putin additional political arguments and political space for

action. it seems to me that this is exactly how everything is happening, although i could be wrong, because all this it's quite strange, but i'm absolutely sure that prigozhin really wants to be the minister of defense and replace shoigu, it's clear from his words, the terms he uses, his main message is that he can win the war for the whole of russia, not only with wagner's group, but with the whole team, so i think that there is still a lot of interesting stuff to come. and for prigozhin fans - this is a real test of analytics, dear mr. colonel, large pipeline storage facilities in the border regions on the territory of the russian federation, well, at least they were recorded. so i have no way check to what extent this information is true. but perhaps this somehow so fleetingly characterizes the summer campaign of the russian federation against us. how do you guess what

resources our enemy has at its disposal, in particular, it is about technical resources and trained manpower, because during the last six months they actively tried to train their mobs ized interventionists at the beginning of the war , the human resources of the regular army of the russian federation left much to be desired, but now it seems that what is happening is that the russian army is learning its lessons and improving itself they use conscripts and others as cannon fodder but if we talk about the soldiers of the regular army, they are constantly getting better and i would even say that in some areas they learn lessons and change faster than the ukrainian troops, which is very worrying, as i already said, people will be cannon meat, many of these cannon fodder are already using rifles from the first world war, not just old

rifles, but really hundred-year-old rifles , because there is not enough weapons in russia, and we saw that they are bringing really old ones to the front line equipment, old tanks that we used in the second world war. at the same time, you must say that a tank in battle is a tank in battle , even an old gun is capable of many things. in russia, there will be a huge shortage of specialists who know how to use tanks , armored vehicles, how to properly operate them, if watch the video and you will see that they have a bad time with it now, if ukraine can keep them under its pressure, they will not become better , the most dangerous thing for ukraine is to give russia time , because every time you give russia time, they they become better, so from the moment of the counteroffensive and until the end of the war, they should be kept in a vise without the opportunity to transfer their spirits , because they recover because they have a lot of things, they have

a lot of equipment, they have a lot of people, what they lack. so these are good commanders. well, of course, such things like radio stations, night sights and the like are still lacking, but let's not forget that in russia there are also volunteers who support them in the same way that ukrainians support their armed forces, these volunteers buy what is necessary for the russian of the army, as the ukrainians do for the armed forces, so i especially emphasize that time is the only thing that we should not give them . thank you very much, mr. colonel, for this honest conversation on the espresso tv channel. military expert gatsey zen glory to ukraine well, i want to remind our tv viewers that we will return to our broadcast. literally in

first of all, who evacuated the local the russian government had a wonderful explanation of the chairman of the defense committee of the state house. when she explained why it does not work so ineffectively , we have a common country. descendants and so on well, what can i tell you, the pause that the ukrainian leadership had before its decisive blow , it had a massive impact on russian society the russian region is in a state of general panic, well, besides the fact that this is a very effective military operation, the ccp attacks the border areas, and it is no longer important that the russian two-wheeled corps or

aliens consider this to be the case, we will expand the phone and force the same absent pva to delay this action, but it happens well , we believe that the psychological effect is much greater, and it is definitely crilirueting the system. well , let's call it, i call it a military rebellion of the commander, the most effective, and the russian military unit, dude, i'm coming. self-willed left in bakhmut, here ivan is working, how will his replacement be destroyed, write that the testimony of the issue of the ministry of defense

for irreversible political changes within russia, i am convinced, even if there is no divides and the majority of the ukrainian theological sphere, and in russia they continue to repeat such old things, having generated everything that he has been doing for three years . he is a general statement, no, we, no, we came up with this special operation, we did not unleash this mindless czech war, because the soldiers who are thrown into this tragedy when they open their eyes, they i will tear it by the way kto eto made it and you will be
