[000:00:00;00] and you from the samopomich party in the 20th from the kherson party, but never received the mandate you dreamed of, headed several organizations such as the admiral john paul jones foundation and the kherson children's and youth club of young sailors and rivers. voting and campaigned for joining the razhka, for this he took the position of the head of the department of support for youth initiatives and the development of volunteering at the pseudo- ministry of youth policy and sports of the kherson region. well, at least from the invaders shazhkov was able to realize his political ambitions. and why are they running for office for all those who are behind it? for me, this family is one big, indivisible family. i am not even surprised that shazhkov joined the newly formed local branch of the communist party of the russian federation. it also did not

prevent him from becoming a member of the party of her russia. a traitor goes to the elections, promotes russian peace and supports the occupation and armed aggression in every possible way , a typical soviet zombified person obediently and loyally listens to the kremlin, but this is temporary, because as you know , no matter how much the motor in ukraine mocks people, it will soon die russia fell apart like a scoop, join the creation of the program, collaborators, send information about kremlin traitors to us on facebook or simply to e-mail. will be the most important events

of this week and we will try to predict what the weeks will be like our upcoming our guests today a colonel of the british army retired glen grant, as well as a well-known political scientist who is in prague, oleksandr morozov, our first guest is a military expert , a retired colonel of the british army, glen grand. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel . well, we are seeing the unfolding of an extremely dangerous scenario, in particular, it is about the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, so at one time the russians told us threatened that they might use tactical nuclear weapons, we understand that president joseph biden said that this danger is quite high and now we see the unfolding of this scenario with the so-called by a peaceful atom, we understand that russian terrorists can use explosives or, i don't know, tear up reactors or blow up the pumps from the cooling ponds in order to create the biggest man

-made catastrophe. their behavior, especially during the explosion of the dam of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station , testified as if the seriousness of their intentions , but the key story is this the response of the collective west in case they really apply this hellish scenario i am sure that the west through its closed channels conveyed to putin that this is a bad idea i have on keep in mind that the american government has made it clear that the use of a nuclear bomb will be considered an attack on nato because the consequences will inevitably affect nato countries , so it is logical that the russians will not want to do this . however, we should not forget that we are dealing with a not entirely logical animal, that is, putin, and it will always be possible that he will want to use anything just to keep power in his hands before considering any reaction of the west , it should be remembered that this war is mostly

being fought for the sake of russian public opinion his actions directly depend on the public opinion of the russians, on the pulse of which is constantly in his hands , we do not know whether this opinion is currently in favor of undermining the au, but if he thinks that by daring to take this step, public opinion will give him the necessary support or make him stronger, then he will do it. the first thing we need to do is look inside russia to understand what it is talking about and thinking about . after the blowing up of the kakhova hydroelectric power plant, it really doesn’t come to mind, because if dumbo was blown up in any other country in the world , even in china, then the western countries would hasten to help, provide the necessary equipment, search dogs and everything else, they sent there everything they could

. they always do during disasters but in the case of ukraine they did nothing and i am afraid that this may happen again the vilnius summit is coming again russia will raise the degree of sk-laci but the key story dear mr. colonel what are the possible scenarios will unfold at the vilnius summit, in particular, it is about the so-called security guarantees for ukraine on the way to nato, we understand that history is an extremely serious attack, we understand that if the united states or great britain can conclude a specific security agreement with ukraine, it will also weigh extremely much we understand that taiwan, for example, is not a member of nato, but taiwan feels safe, this also applies to a number of euro-atlantic partners of america that are not members of nato well

, accordingly, i would like to see very a specific formula or in general we could achieve it in the current situation and can get by with the so-called palliatives this is a surprisingly acute question and unfortunately i have to say that we will have to wait for the summit to see what it will achieve at the moment it is not clear what the strength of the arguments is the white house says good words but often when it comes to critically important things such as f-16 attacks or security guarantees, they start giving back whether someone other than nato can provide security guarantees. maybe, but that's about it for now no one is talking, newspapers are silent, no one is in a hurry to visit many capitals, trying to develop security guarantees , i have the feeling that after this summit there will be nothing new in terms of guarantees, of course, i could be completely wrong, but i simply do not feel that anything is happening because there are

none previous discussions for security guarantees, it is necessary for someone like blinkin to go to france, germany, great britain, in order to discuss possible further steps, on the other hand, the fact that clear discussions no may mean that there are stronger arguments in favor of membership in nato, but remember that on the way to membership in nato, attention should also be focused on the sticks that hungary and turkey are ready to push ukraine's membership in nato for these countries still seems doubtful . therefore, this week can be very difficult for ukraine and i don't see anything particularly positive. but again, as i said, i could be wrong, maybe the countries will go to a meeting and we will hear what we want, but we should be realistic, that is, ready for not quite

the desired development of events, so the struggle will continue and, as i said, the government must begin to take the war seriously, which is not happening so far. for me, the most characteristic indicator of, for example, how this or that doctrine of aid will be implemented. etekams understand that this is an extremely serious weapon and we need it , our fighters need it, the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, general valeriy zaluzhny, very clearly outlined in his last interview that we need and outlined his vision of how everything should happen from the other side, he also testified to an extremely important story, that is, even if the russians commit an unprecedented crime, in particular, it is about the use of possible tactical nuclear weapons . let it be and wrapped in the format of the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, all the same, ukraine

will not succumb to the fact that the russians do not leave us a choice as such. i think that this would burden the ukrainians even more. if we talk about weapons systems in the context of attacks, i think that it is not ukraine's fault that these systems have not yet been provided. everything depends on the united states, because atakans is a key weapons system. the united states must not lose sight of taiwan and china, so they cannot afford to provide ukraine with everything that it asks for in the end. something they and and they can give what will be extremely important for ukraine, but i suspect that they will try to keep such systems in case they may need the f-16 - that's another matter , the americans don't need their 16 because they have a lot of them in stock, so i'm deep

surprised and disappointed by their level of provision of these fighters in ukraine, obviously there are some problems with logistics , the ukrainian system is not adapted to control one weapon system such as the f-16, but on the other hand, similar narratives were floating around the patriot system, which ukraine mastered quite quickly and well, so i believe that the countries that have f16 should take a risk and provide them to ukraine and then decide how to keep them in the air in the future, or are there other weapons systems that you need, you should decide what in fact, ukraine needs not only powerful systems such as attack and f-16, but also many more small infantry complexes that will really help, because in the end the attacks will hold the territory, the f16 will not gain the territory, the only thing that can win back the territory is the infantry, ordinary people who fight and were would be much better if they had more night sights more mortars mortar

ammunition in general more infantry equipment more small drones because then they would push the invaders out a lot faster place is happening now, so we should bet on infantry, infantry equipment, as well as for demining. these are the things to which we should direct more resources on the front line, and not only to things that require large costs, in any case, we understand that under conditions of deep frantic defense of the russians in the south, in the east, and so on , we understand that their logistics chains can be broken by long-range missile systems, and this is a key story in the current situation, we saw how much the gates of logistics have changed as a result of extremely successful cotton in chongar, but on the other hand, we understand that russian logistics have been destroyed, i don’t know, partially destroyed, this is extremely important, but

the enemy is also now deploying one or another of their plans, on the one hand, let’s look at logistics over the last year, you have actively destroyed logistics, and despite this the enemy's artillery thundered even louder, simply destroying logistics is not a solution to the problem. and for one eliminated general, two new ones will come, your goal is not victory in battle, but the collapse of the russian of the army, russia will try to preserve its current form of launching hostilities, this is very important for it, because russian soldiers and the russian system cannot stand uncertainty, therefore, they gravitate towards certainty, to close combat at least . they would like ukraine to slip behind them, such a development would sow uncertainty and panic as well as the need for immediate negotiations with the command and they lack basic walkie-talkies, this means that you need commanders who know how to

think well and not just give orders russia will try as much as possible to keep the battlefield against ukraine in the shape of a square, if they can attract more people and they succeed, then they will use them to gild the resource gaps wherever they can in order to move to a close combat that is comfortable for them, as i already mentioned, maybe again around bahmut , nothing else they won't be able to do it, because they are currently not capable of conducting intelligent combat operations, in any case, we see that the russians have begun to use their so-called reserve golden t-90m tanks, a breakthrough, and they burn extremely successfully. although i do not underestimate this extremely serious and high-quality equipment, but on the other hand, we understand that they cannot show anything fundamentally new in the strategic plan on the battlefield, you know the answer to this question, the newly mobilized

russian soldiers are very poorly prepared, this does not mean that they lack cleverness, and this is the problem, because if the russian army begins to recruit more representatives of the middle class, then in their ranks will appear , for example, businessmen who are much smarter and who will fight better than the alcoholics of the first few waves but these people will also be more intelligent in terms of decision-making and they will not be satisfied with the leadership just throwing potala like grenade meat so for russia it can actually slip sideways an additional 500,000 soldiers. well, how do you train 500,000 people? who will train them ? who will find equipment for them ?

that in recent months, people have been sent to the front without proper weapons, food, military training, so if they recruit a large number of people again , we will see even worse profane people who will plug the holes that the armed forces of ukraine are currently creating and moving forward, dear glen, we understand that you are not just like that a modest british colonel who, in his free time from work , begins to study what is happening on the battlefield, to study maps and so on. i would like to ask you to give a summary view of those expert circles regarding possible russian plans, how they evaluate a possible new phase, and perhaps what will happen now, particularly from the russian side , the general feeling is that russia will continue to do what it is doing now because there are really no alternatives she doesn't have them. they are going

to throw more people into battle wherever possible. people are worried that the wagnerites have been transferred to belarus, from where they could potentially move south towards kyiv. but they can't do it, they don't have enough human resources and proper preparation for this kind of battles, even the wagnerites also prefer close combat, all this requires courage , resistance to the disgusting feeling when in your soul you realize that in the first attack you will rather die than anything the deeper the russian army penetrates society, the fewer people there will be who will gladly go forward to land mines , the russian plan is mainly based on preserving the reputation and lives of shoigu and gerasimov on the one hand, and on the fact that to fight with all one's strength, because if someone wants to remain a minister or head of the gestaff, then they believe that they must win by throwing everything they can at the front, and then

prigozhyn, realizing that if he is given a little more prison equipment and other things, he continues to cherish the hope that he has an opportunity to break through the front line somewhere, but even if he does it, his troops are not sufficiently qualified and equipped to advance further, let's imagine that they break through bakhmut, and then where do they have neither training, nor radio stations, nor experience for something other than trench warfare in the style of the first world war, you should not expect anything reasonable from russia because they simply do not have the mental abilities , training skills and basic skills to surprise us with something. and what do people say euro-atlantic experts about the so-called pain points of the enemy and this not about the fear of the enemy, most of the experts i spoke with are clearly aware that the west , especially the united states, did not provide ukraine

with enough equipment to win this war , the experts are more focused not on to the russians and what is needed to win the war we all know and see what the russians are like now they just built huge defensive fortifications because there is nothing else they can do and ukraine definitely needs better weapons and as i said , ukraine needs better infantry equipment that is not centralized which can be used by the general staff and which can be used by an infantryman to go through shifts, climb into the trenches and have weapons that are actually needed for trench warfare, for example, for some reason they forgot about flamethrowers flamethrowers were very often used in the trenches during the first world war ministry of defense it is worth paying attention to mortars with the help of which

you can gain an advantage in the trenches the weakness of the russians is that they cannot deal face-to-face with the properly equipped ukrainian military, but if your soldiers will not be properly equipped, then the russians will continue to press in numbers , that is why they use more artillery and infantry small arms, the west must understand this and make sure that the weakness and the russians could have used better-trained and better-equipped ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, but on the other hand, we are also aware that the successes of the american coalition in cancer during desert storm were due to both aviation and the full intelligence of aviation. we understand how important a role aviation, in particular , nato countries played in order to defeat the milosevic regime completely with you, one war in iraq was completely different because the iraqi soldiers were not so prepared for the great

battle in terms of defense and they did not have so many lines of defense and deep trenches, it was much easier to overcome them firstly from the air and secondly from artillery, because there was a significant advantage in both areas, they were practically defeated and most of them fled, now such a scenario will not happen because ukraine is a completely different story you don't have ani f16 ani a 10, and the amount of artillery is much less than what is needed to carry out a large-scale attack, unfortunately, we have to end our conversation with the next one, thank you, mr. colonel, for this frank analysis on the air of the espressova tv channel, i want to our tv viewers to remind that now a british expert, a retired colonel of the british army, worked for them glen grand get save the king glory to ukraine god save the king glory to ukraine and in conclusion i will say that we will win, the truth is that we will have to wait

much longer than people imagine the thing is that the russians have awakened a desire fight and going back to what i talked about in my previous interviews, the government needs to take this war seriously and begin to determine what is needed for victory not from the outside, but what needs to be done inside the country to defeat god save the king glory to the heroes and my condolences to the relatives of the dead during the last weeks of heat it is always easier to get poisoned when ordinary water is not enough for adults and children i recommend reo let's save ourselves with water reo reo water for special medical purposes and the youth national team of ukraine alesenko my

p.m. repeat at 12:10 p.m. political scientist, teacher of charles university in prague. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. greetings. glory to ukraine . good day. glory to the heroes. well, the key story is what happened in russia after the putsch . the politb bureau seems to have strengthened under the same government, we understand what is going on, this increasingly strong military scenario is unfolding, but here's what's interesting about how, er, this strange march to moscow, and within three months , the gentleman was invited to mercilessly and viciously criticize the ministry of defense and the general staff , and in the end, even the presidential administration , he mentioned the russian, well, his words sounded

and the condemnation of vladimir putin as a person who will be the supreme the enlisted men are running a military company poorly, tell us how the device would shout, i am turning to putin, the war must go to the destruction of ukraine, that is, to the complete destruction of the state , or i now have to stop it. it is necessary to get a foothold, we will defend it in their article in april, it was brought directly and formulated it, and this is the central theme of the coup, it is necessary to say that the weight of the question was broken, because they are what is this ? far chose a personal object, and well, the question remains and it remains , as it were, and is the most important thing of the day, if viewed from the kremlin's side. now i have a view. putin does not answer yet, we see, uh, and they see it. it seems to me now that all the experts military and political observers from different countries see, as it were, a continuation

of the trend, that is, from one country , it is clear that the kremlin is strengthening its turnover, and at the same time loud voices are being heard and continue to be heard, and actually it is dmitry medvedev with his only embroidered rossiyskoi gazete and professor vyshizhka school of economics and one of the main russian foreign policy specialists are all happy with karaganov, who drowns everyone with his call to drop a nuclear charge directly on poland , on poznań, in other words, these two lines продулдают звучать putin already as far as he can and until after the coup eh , in my opinion, he didn't answer, i didn't answer his entourage ah, and the leading russian staff , that's how they answer the question what is the next logic of the war, we hear voices, we hear karaganov we hear medvedev and have the impression that they were delegated certain functions to voice what is called the current national

russian idea to terrorize poznań with a nuclear bomb, that is, i did not see anything else, but at the same time in medvedev's article there is an additional the case is an additional option, which is called that in principle we did not demand so much from nato that it collect manatkas and go to the border in 1997. so here he begins to formulate the whole matter in a slightly different way, and maybe even in a significantly different way. that's why karaganov's position is somewhat different from medvedev's, and v. s. has not seen such, heard just in spite of the monstrous plane of insults that he directs at the leaders of all countries and the entire surrounding world, but at the same time, he hears everything like that. that too such an appeal to putin is a question of such a kind that it would be necessary to proceed to the second scenario. and there is no

further scalation, but what is the problem if it is very simple to formulate? we put a point in this topography and asked ourselves where is the second point through which the straight line will pass , the second point has passed. point and this is the third point happened and this is the 20th hour of the first hour, this is the first aggression, the frontal war and the monstrosity completely in its own style and sprinkled with consequences, and the main thing is that it is now necessary to say that the war against ukraine during the first one has turned into the kremlin is already at war in the very west. here we have three points on a straight line

, there is simply a fourth point. the line of these three points, because putinism has been sanitized in the last 10 years, it is impossible to predict anything except some kind of miraculous escalation due to which putin will try to get out as if on a child, that is, putin will not go any a peace treaty , an armistice, a compromise, no concept, he is there , yes, nothing of this. er, certain resources are determined to be able to resist this fourth, fourth point, well , alexander’s options for escalation, let ’s think with you about what the first option for escalation, hinted at by the president of the united states, joseph baidu, is the use of
