[000:00:00;00] on this path, it is one thing if the plan succeeds, on the other hand, is such a success worth the depletion of resources, because if the losses are too great, then from a strategic point of view, such a success can be a defeat, so we must keep an eye on the events of the next few weeks, the berdyan direction, the tokmak direction and beyond according to the list , there are fierce battles going on, our infantry is working, our artillery is working, we lack aviation, but the troops are advancing. as far as i understand, the enemy is starting to use operational reserves to try to hold his line of defense to what extent this company will be difficult, in particular, we are talking about the august-september southern company, the probability is quite high , since ukrainian soldiers have the determination and morale to continue to fight hard, the challenge for russia is whether

it can afford to continue advancing in the donetsk direction, because that is where they are persistently advancing and not in the southern regions, we know that they have very poor logistical support, and ukraine conducted a very successful campaign to destroy russian artillery and ammunition, so we we don't know and i don't think that anyone can know it in principle. so this is where the enemy's weakness in terms of artillery and ammunition is located . it may be in front of donetsk . it may be behind bakhmut, and even south of zaporozhye there will be a place where russia will suddenly not be able to fight properly. this is exactly where a real strategic breakthrough should take place, and therefore, looking to the south, i have a question: what is happening in the donetsk region when ukrainian troops are advancing , what will happen if they break into donetsk or

there are still about 30 thousand soldiers of the armed forces who can enter donetsk and take it, this is an interesting question at the moment because the battlefield is not fully understood, and maybe it will be lyman or it will be bakhmut. is it donetsk? is it zaporizhzhia and the south? and only in in the next two or three weeks or during the next month it will be clear where in fact ukraine can cause the most damage, amateurs very often start drawing certain arrows on maps trying to find out which movement can be considered general, but people are informed talk about the importance of logistics glen you just emphasized the importance of disrupting enemy logistics a couple of days ago i was talking to one of our active duty officers and he said what difference does it make how deep they dug themselves concrete pits in the south if we destroy their logistics they can eat each other for the next couple of months , the logistics were destroyed, this is the lack of fuel - this

is the lack of ammunition, and this is the lack of the possibility of functioning of units that really dug in very deeply. well , accordingly, if we are seriously talking about the destruction of enemy logistics, we understand that on the one hand it is the crimean bridge, the kerch bridge, on the other hand, it is the taking under fire control of the so-called land corridor from mariupol to the crimea and, of course, the interruption of communication through the crimean isthmus, the destruction of logistics is important, but when hostilities unfold as nowadays, the most important thing is not so much strategic logistics, but tactical, in other words, what exactly is standing in excess and who is fighting. this is what is important , because the weapon is at hand or immediately behind the back more important than those weapons or ammunition that are at a distance, and they know about it, because to break their morale and their will as much as possible, it is necessary to concentrate

ukrainian forces in front of certain borders and then destroy logistics behind these borders so that they feel an immediate shortage, if you concentrate on strategic logistics, then it gives the enemy time to move from one part of the battlefield to another. if attacking tactical logistics, that is, food that they planned to eat today, water that they planned to drink today, ammunition that should have been used today, it will have a special effect on a specific area of ​​the battlefield, so i believe that over the past six months, we have done a lot in the field of strategic logistics , but russia continues to advance and we need to support the soldiers on the front lines, our advanced infantry, focusing on those areas that are immediately behind the infantry in order to reduce the fire concentration of the enemy so that he has neither artillery nor ammunition to return fire this is the key to

breakthrough if we are talking about power the enemy in the south, we understand that they have certain problems, but they also have certain advantages , in particular. this is a fairly strong line of defense . now it is to split the southern group of the enemy, i want to say that russia does not have the potential to attract resources to this war, both human and armed, the only thing that can break the south is a full deployment the front line, and by this i mean that as soon as ukraine breaks through somewhere and finds itself in the rear of the enemy, the russians will begin to flee , that is, the most important thing is to break through, create a certain gap in the defense and effectively use it to encircle the russians, however, it can be a very long, difficult battle up to berdyansk

, the russian defense may not crack so easily, therefore i do not think that you should set any time frames for yourself, it is necessary to recognize that the front must be supported as best as possible, which means that it is obviously necessary more drones more equipment more carats of ambulance everything the fighters need to keep moving forward because this war can last two or three more years don't underestimate russia's ability to throw all its resources into the war we must be ready for a long battle and that this the breakthrough will take a long period now there is a constant movement forward kilometer by kilometer and that is why you must adhere to the principles of war one of which is the concentration of forces which is vital if you want to break through, dear mr. colonel, in your opinion, they should be considered as separate fronts, as separate battlefields, i don't know - this is the kupyan-lyman direction, the donetsk

direction and the southern direction, in particular, when it comes to the enemy's strategy. they are trying to play on three local directions in their own way or after all, your gerasimos now have the strength. somehow to focus all this and bring it to the general logic of the military campaign is a broad question, because they concentrated their efforts on bahmut, however, without success, so i would said that they will not do the same thing again although they can, this is russia and it is quite possible that they will go and again step on the same rake of efforts to turn something around , now it seems that they are trying to keep the theater of operations as wide as possible, because when it is as wide as possible, it forces ukraine it is very good to think about attracting reserves because there is always a place where russia will advance, now this is a matter for the general staff and they should keep themselves in their hands because it is quite possible that in the area of ​​the estuary or even

north of donetsk, russia can break through and start actually moving forward and say this does not mean that they will be able to actively move forward, they will rather use the gaps that ukraine has at the moment ukraine cannot currently cover the entire front by moving southward and this is exactly what russia is counting on, which wants to create pressure in the north to force to pull ukraine's reserves north to the estuary, taking them from the south, all this is like poker, and now it is important who blinks first in the kupinsky-leman direction, we understand that the enemy can get along well with logistics there, it is convenient transportation of personnel ammunition and so on. and we understand that the fighting there is intensifying. it is difficult to say how high the intensity will be in the next couple of weeks , but we understand that the enemy is transferring a large number of trained troops there, and i

think that now russia is trying to change the phase of hostilities. the fact is that ukraine has shown itself well in and so now it must continue to advance there because if they break through the south it will not matter what happens in the north because the most important trophies in this battle are donetsk crimea. therefore, they need to continue to advance in these directions. the liberation of donetsk and crimea will change the dynamics of politics and strategic thinking inside russia . what is an estuary? and donetsk , so if they lose them, politics in russia will change. putin will not be able to survive the loss of something so important, at the same time we understand that russia is now trying to commit another

crime not only against ukraine but also against of international maritime law, in particular, it is about russia's attempt to annex the black sea basin, in particular the one that belongs to ukraine, accordingly, we see intensified strikes on odesa in the south of ukraine, but the reason for everything can be intertwined in the general concept of russian aggression in the black sea basin, so ukraine was called by nato, and we understand that they have to go extremely serious steps in response, first of all, you need to forget about international law in such a war as this international law does not exist, russia has already violated all international laws regarding the war is why they are not interested and it does not matter to them whether they violate something, the facts speak for themselves. it seems that the west does not care where the laws are followed. and where no, because they did nothing before. remember how russia installed mines in the black sea, which then ended up in romanian harbors russia has stopped nato ships before, for example from bulgaria, and no one did anything, so let 's forget about the legal aspect of this issue

for the second time. i don't see anything unusual or special in this. the fact is that russia is trying to attack ukraine in all possible ways, and where there is a weak point, they will attack, and the weak point is because there is no ukrainian fleet now, and because they have the opportunity to put pressure on ukraine in the south regarding moldova and transnistria , while keeping ukraine in tune with midnight due to the presence of wagner thus actually moves pieces on the chessboard from a position that is beneficial for itself to a position that causes ukraine as many problems as possible, but let's not forget that almost every act against ukraine is part of the internal russian essence, and much of what they do is aimed at showing that putin is still an authoritative person, that he can still put pressure not only on ukraine, but also on nato, considering how he puts pressure on

nato and the nato countries in the baltic sea. he believes that he is doing the right thing by putting pressure on romania, bulgaria and turkey in black, this is a certain rise for him in the eyes of his people , an indicator that he still remains a tough person and can do what he wants. the transfer of wagner's criminal organization to belarus yes we understand that at the moment their personnel is not enough, but we are watching how belarus is gradually being filled with russian mercenaries, and it is gradually being filled with russian equipment, we understand that this group is not enough to mount this or that military provocation successfully against ukraine, instead, they can try to destabilize the border with lithuania and with poland, and they will formally act as an extraterritorial military criminal group and they will not represent

themselves in the official government of belarus or possibly russia so the key story here is how the euro-atlantic allies will react in the event of this or that military provocation, first of all regarding the wagnerites we must forget everything that happened before because it was a theater it was just a theater peculiar games and none of us really knows the scale of these games and who actually took part in them, we just have to understand where they are located now, and therefore the fact that their groups are not that big, although there are not many of them, russia is strengthening them, which means that they are gathering someone for something use we have no idea why it is possible to even strengthen them in the future to defend putin in this is the whole absurdity of the current russian policy, but do not forget that wagner's group threatens not only northern ukraine, it also threatens poland and lithuania and even latvia, which is nearby . therefore, they are a potential threat they don't even do anything militarily

, they are in fact a problem for both nato and ukraine, simply because of their deployment, they really don't need to stress, you asked about what nato will do, so what? let's make it clear if the wagnerites cross the nato border they will get their teeth and that very quickly and then the game will be completely different nato cannot allow the wagnerites to cross the polish lithuanian or any other borders so that they get nothing for it who has to act otherwise what is the point of existence at all therefore, i am sure that the russians, putin and prigozhin , understand this well. if they dare to do so , they will sign a death sentence for themselves. i do not think that they are preparing for this, unless there are some mega-extreme scenarios at the same time. for something, and most likely something is being planned in ukraine, the war criminal kartapolov, who sits in the russian state duma, a couple of days ago released

the state secret of the russian federation in response to and proposed changes to the mobilization orders in russia. he said, well, of course, we will do it because we we are preparing for a long war. how do you see , mr. colonel, russia's preparation for this phase and will they really go for it ? their preparation is quite powerful. i mean that they are working on their own defense industry over mobilizing more people as well as their relations with north korea china and iran they are working hard to create a stronger soviet system that is the term soviet not russian soviet system which can actually fight against ukraine for a long time and will be able to destroy ukraine step by step using mass resources is what they are doing now and their intention is to continue doing it until the west surrenders i am convinced that putin thinks that if

he continues for years the west will fall and will fall apart and a peace agreement will be concluded that will secure the captured territories for it, the ukrainian government is making a serious mistake by underestimating russia's stubbornness in this war, not preparing properly, not mobilizing properly, not properly organizing its defense industry, this is exactly what russia is doing now, while ukraine is not, this is a very serious mistake to rely only on the allies because at a certain stage the allies will run out of equipment, ammunition and everything else and then ukraine will be left alone and they will expect it to do much more itself so the country needs to prepare for the fact that this war could last two three even four years remember world war ii lasted five world war i also almost 5 years so we may still have a potentially long way to go or will storms reduce supplies shadow to ukraine

, we understand how important these long-range missiles turned out to be, of course there will be a decrease because as you use them , they become less and less, currently the industry in general cannot produce more or with such the same speed with which they will be used, therefore the provision of such missiles will be reduced, ukraine must understand the importance of manufacturing its own missiles , it is necessary to direct its efforts to the manufacture of its own shadow sides and do it quickly, and for this ukraine has a real intellectual potential, it is a matter of the will of the government and, frankly, someone a smart person who will lead ukroboronprom and start doing what ukraine needs. so, thank you, dear glen , for this frank conversation, the weekend of the espresso tv channel, get save the king, glory to ukraine glory to the heroes and i also want to emphasize how wonderfully ukrainian soldiers are fighting in the south, what a wonderful job they are doing, they

deserve the respect of every army in the world for the way they fight and i hope that they will not stop and that the breakthrough will happen as soon as possible. thank you to our viewers i would like to remind you that a retired colonel of the british army worked for them on the espresso broadcast , a well-known military expert glen grant, the participant program will run out. the most important events of the day take care of yourself and your loved ones see you on the air why am i here i have sensitive teeth they eat ice cream pain cold air pain sweet pain the dentist advised lacalut sensiti what effectively reduces the sensitivity of teeth if i had known kalut sensiti you would not have had to come here before

but got pregnant and only when her daughter grew up did she voluntarily go to war in our sumy rvk refused me, said that he did not screw the child's head, go home, and i called my friend, i went with him to toretsk battalion, the 15th sumy motorized infantry battalion of the 58th brigade, e-e, i went with him to toretske, i took e-e the attitude of the battalion commander, with this attitude, i came i will show him to the military commissar in sumy. you have no right to refuse me. we are waiting there, and she entered the army without training. she immediately went to her sisters in donetsk region, in combat positions with them , and gained the necessary experience. julia was interested in everything. i shot with various weapons, went with the boys to the trenches and on night shifts and always served very close

to the enemy. the military positions were several hundred meters from roshest . give them to the guys to sign and such a very tough shelling begins, er, shooting, shooting, it was very easy, because everything is a friend with a friend nearby , and he tells me to fall, hide, i sat down and put this blue folder on my head and thought that i can't see him. he fell into the trench and i realize that i'm sitting like that, looking at him. he's not there. it was as it seems. it was the most ridiculous moment of life. after that, i became a little more composed and began to understand something. how to behave and what to tease the enemies in ukrainian with a song i sat in positions and loved to sing the national anthem of ukraine that all countries are ukrainian songs and we had a hair

dryer short and you could hear it as if it were a bouffant. the russian says again it's an increase, we have a song, you tortured me. if you sing like that, i'll send you to you. in the case of yulia , an unexpected adventure happened at the positions . she received an invitation to the x-factor show. pregnant for the second time, the woman was transferred to dnipro and continued her service in the eastern operational command last year on february 24, the woman was still on maternity leave, but from the first days she began to help the army and in april she returned to her fellow citizens , volunteering to help her kombat well, yulia says, what's the matter? you're already on duty, it was probably

april, yes, april. go on duty. what are you riding? you'll still be helping us and riding. and our battalion medics were placed in the orchestra. i am all the same as i write. are the orchestras catching up? i need the medics so quickly. i brought you the medicines. then yulia was offered to turn her talent into service and ended up in the military orchestra of the command. at first, the woman hesitated or not. i understood the possibilities of singing for the front. but after the first trip to the front, when i saw the eyes of the soldiers and their reaction to the concerts, i understood that i would stay in the group . they go to places where it is difficult

for ordinary musicians to reach along the entire front line, close to enemy positions. in ukraine, we were together in kherson, as soon as it was, how to say, special people, and we drove into the same brigade, and it turned out that the boarding was until the rashistov, er, somewhere 1.5 km, maybe two, and we don’t have to go alone an electric guitar, one base, a guitar, such a mini. as our foreman made such a mini-drum himself, it will knock like this, and the cymbal fell like that, and bionica and we are two, two people who sing, we will not be allowed to take even a drum, we took one guitar and one tambourine and it happened like planting in the field and we gave such a mini-concert, we sowed tamber, and we were born, we were riding cossacks, such and such interesting songs well, we sing so quietly that they did not hear, but later, as it turned out, they still heard what we said there, the woman

is sure that she will not leave the army and after the victory dreams of getting an officer's rank and becoming a commander. i want to go back before the summer because i am sure that i will not be that kind of politician there and the boys will listen to me because i think that it is normal to be a human commander , you have to be a person and help the boys, not just become a tongue and follow this, i want to change this army at least a little and become a tampolit and show my example further khrystyna parubiy tv channel espresso congratulations , dear friends, we are returning to avatar and today together with andrii saichuk we will work in this studio until almost five o'clock, and we have a list of interesting, of course, topical topics that we should discuss with you. well, first of all, i want to remind you that our collection is ongoing, and as of this morning, you and i
