[000:00:00;00] will be a defeat, so we must keep an eye on the events of the next few weeks berdyansk direction, tokmak direction and further down the list, fierce battles continue there , our infantry is working, our artillery is working, we lack aviation, but the troops are advancing, the enemy , as far as i understand, is starting to use operational reserves in order to try hold your line of defense as far as this company will be difficult, in particular, it is about the august-september southern company , the probability is quite high, since ukrainian soldiers have determination and morale continue to fight hard, the challenge for russia is whether it can afford to continue advancing in the direction of donetsk, 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 artillery and ammunition , which we don't know and i don't think that anyone can know it in principle. that's where the enemy's weakness is in terms of artillery and ammunition . it could be in front of donetsk. it could be zabahmutom and even to the south of zaporizhzhia there will be a place where russia will suddenly not be able to fight properly. it is there that 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, are there 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 liman, will it be bakhmut? is it donetsk? is it zaporizhzhia and the south? and only in the next

two or three weeks or over the next month will it be clear where ukraine can actually cause the most damage . will consider general but informed people are talking 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 what depth they swim concrete pits in the south, if we destroy their logistics, they can eat each other in the next couple of months, the destroyed logistics is the lack of fuel - it is the lack of ammunition, and it is the lack of the possibility of functioning of units that are really dug in very deeply. well , accordingly, if we are seriously talking about the destruction of the enemy logistics, we understand that on

the one hand, this is the crimean bridge, the kerch bridge, on the other hand, this is the taking under fire control of the so-called land corridor from mariupol and, of course, the interruption of communication through the crimean isthmus, the destruction of logistics is important, but when hostilities are unfolding as they are now, the most important thing is not so much strategic logistics as tactical , in other words, what exactly is standing in excess and who are fighting. this is what is important, because the weapon that is at hand or immediately behind the back is more important than that 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 lines and then destroy them logistics behind these lines so that they feel an immediate shortage, if you concentrate on strategic logistics, then this gives the enemy time

to move from one part of the battlefield to another . to use 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 in the front line our advanced infantry by concentrating 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 the enemy's forces in the south we we understand that they have certain problems, but they also have certain advantages, in particular . this is a fairly strong line of defense

. a large number of aviation, a large number of artillery on the other side, we understand that the key task is, for sure, to split the southern group of the enemy, i want to say that russia always has no potential to attract resources to this war, both human and armed, the only thing that can break the south is the full deployment of the front line and under 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 with the aim of encircling the russians, however, it may be a very long battle. that 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

obviously, more drones are needed, more equipment, more carats of ambulances, everything that the fighters need to continue moving forward , because this war can last another 2-3 years, do not underestimate russia's ability to throw put all your resources into war we must be ready for a long battle and for this breakthrough to 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 i do not know the battlefields - this is the kupyansk-koleman direction, the donetsk direction and the southern, in particular, when it comes to the enemy's strategy. they are trying to play on three local directions in their own way, do you still have the strength to somehow

focus all this and bring it to the general logic of the military campaign? this is a broad question, because they concentrated their efforts on bakhmut, 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 step on the same rake again trying to turn something around now it seems that they are trying to maintain as wide a theater of operations as possible because when it is as wide as possible, this forces ukraine to think very carefully about attracting reserves because there is always a place where russia will advance, now this is a matter for the general staff and they must 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 to start actually moving forward, 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 south, and precisely on this is taken into account by russia, which wants to create pressure in the north in order to force ukraine to pull 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 estuary direction, we understand that the enemy there can get along well with logistics there, convenient transportation 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 soldiers there, and so do i i think that now russia is trying to change the phase of hostilities. the fact is that ukraine has shown itself well in the south, 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 the donetsk crimea it is necessary 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, no one in russia knows where the estuary is and they are not interested in it, but they know where crimea and donetsk are, so if they lose them, the politics in russia will change. putin will not be able to survive the loss of something so important. we now understand that russia is now trying to commit another crime not only against ukraine, but also against 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 an increase in strikes on odesa in the south of ukraine, but this is the reason everything can be woven into the general concept of russian

aggression in the black sea basin, so it was nato has been convened by ukraine, and we understand that extremely serious steps must be taken in response. first of all, we need to forget about international law in a war like this . international law does not exist. russia has already violated all international laws regarding war, so they are not interested. it does not matter to them whether they 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 not do anything before. remember how russia installed mines in the black sea, which then ended up in romanian harbors, russia and previously stopped nato ships from bulgaria, for example, and no one did anything, so let's forget about the legal aspect of this issue , secondly, 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 spot 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 in the north because of the presence of wagner, in this way, he actually moves the pieces on the chessboard to a position that is advantageous for himself, 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 authoritative a person that he can still put pressure not only on ukraine but also on nato, considering how he puts pressure on nato and nato countries on the baltic sea. and he thinks that he is doing the right thing by putting pressure on romania bulgaria and turkey in black is for him a certain rise 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 it is gradually being filled with russian mercenaries and 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 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 here the key story is how the euro-atlantic allies react in the event of this or that military provocations, 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 that who actually took part in them, we just have to understand where they are currently located, and therefore the fact that their group is not that big, although there are not many of them, russia is strengthening them , which means that they are going to use someone for something. we have no idea what they might be for even strengthening 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 in the military plan, even if they do nothing, they are actually 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 let's

clarify, if the wagnerites cross the nato border, they get by the teeth, and very quickly , and then the game will be completely different. nato cannot allow the wagnerites to cross the polish -lithuanian or any other border and not get anything for it, who has to act differently what is the essence of the existence of the alliance, so i am sure that the russians, putin and prigozhin, understand it well. if they dare to do so , they will sign their own death sentence, i do not think that they are preparing it for this, unless there are some mega-extreme scenarios, at the same time they are being reinforced for something and most likely war criminal kartapolov, who sits in the russian state duma, is planning something in ukraine. a couple of days ago, he released a state secret of the russian federation in response to the proposed changes to the mobilization orders in russia. he said well, of course we will do it because we are preparing for a long war. how do you see

, mr. colonel, russia's preparations for this phase and will they really go for it ? their preparations are quite powerful. i mean that they are working on their own defense industry on mobilizing more number of people as well as their relations with north korea, china and iran, they are working hard to create a stronger soviet system, the term soviet, not russian soviet system, which can actually fight against ukraine for for a long time and will be able to destroy ukraine step by step using massive resources, this is what they are doing now and their intention is to continue doing this until the west surrenders. i am convinced that putin thinks that if he continues for several more years, the west will collapse and collapse and a peace agreement will be concluded which will consolidate the captured territories for it , the ukrainian government is making a serious mistake by underestimating russia's stubbornness in this war, by not

preparing properly, not mobilizing properly, not organizing its defense the industry is exactly what russia is doing now, while ukraine is not, it 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 it will be expected to do much more on its own, so the country needs 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 they reduce supply of storm shadow to ukraine, we understand how important these long-range missiles have 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 at the

same rate at which they will be used, so 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 production of its own shadow sides and do it quickly, and for this ukraine has a real intellectual potential is a matter of the will of the government and, to be honest, someone smart 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 the ukrainians are fighting the soldiers in the south what a great job they are doing they deserve the respect of every army in the world for the way they fight and i hope they don't stop and that the breakthrough happens

culture during the war lina is ready to talk or else the presenters, who have become familiar to many, maybe the weather will give us some optimism, mrs. natalka didenko is ready to tell us, as well as the distinguished guests of the studio , we will have volodymyr grishko today, if everything goes well, the events of the day in two hours , vasyl's big broadcast, winter, a project for intelligent and caring people in the evening, friends, i congratulate you . we constantly talk about the influence of russia on various cultural international platforms and we talk about various film festivals on our broadcasts , and unfortunately we have to state that the game of dispute with this influence is increasing because the organizers of film festivals and we will talk about them today specifically. well, they are too loyal to the russians, and we are talking not only about those whom we call good russians

and in quotation marks, but also about not so good russians, and here is another example, the venice film festival starts at the end of the summer, there will be ukrainian films, now i will tell you which ones are very good, but also very bad . no, not russian films, but films from two well-known directors who are one way or another connected with russia, this is roman's new film polyansky and woody allen's new film, the directors of these two are quite scandalous, you know that they are accused in particular of sexual crimes, for example, but here at the venice film festival everything is okay with them. talks about the sanctions that seem to have been imposed on him well, if

we talk about roman polyansky , his new film palace starred a whole cohort of different russian actors, something tells me that they will play a secondary role, but this not exactly, it's just that they are not currently in the trailer, and now we will consider what kind of actors they are, i will say that the most disgusting of them is viktor dobronravov. i think that you are already familiar with the name because we all know fedor dobronravov, who played ivan bunko in swat and his political statements we also know his son well enough, in principle , he is not far behind, let's talk about it. but first i will tell you about something good, incredibly good , because her tapes will show news of the kyiv film festival in ukrainian, for example, in

one of the programs there will be a tape of anna buryachkova which is called not always forever , let me remind you for a second who is anna boryachkova well, first of all, she is a good director in principle. because it's an ugly untrue lie, hypocritical in its face, so this is her feature film debut , which is called not always forever, tells about teenagers, teenagers who, of course, have all their problems, a difficult age, but the specifics of this story, however, these teenagers live in 90s in ukraine

after the collapse of the soviet union in extremely difficult conditions and they, well, as far as i can understand with the description of the synopsis , standard teenage problems will be superimposed on these eyes. i think this is a very good strategy . there is a large part of what is generally understandable . it is clear that when some specifics of each country are shown there, it is perceived much more like that, that is, through this filter. better, i already want to see this film , unfortunately, i can’t say anything more about it, because there aren’t even trailers yet, only posters . well, the second film that will be shown at the venice film festival is called shadows of forgotten ancestors by sergei paradzhanov, and it will be in the classics program. of course, there is such a

program where they show old movies, the classics , of course. this is a very good choice, because uh , the film shadows of forget shadows of forgotten ancestors. i 'm sorry, i confused it with a comedy of the same name. by the way, if you forgot there is a film about her, shadows of forgotten ancestors by lubomir levytskyi. i don't know. look it up if you can find it somewhere accessible, but it's shadows of forgotten ancestors by parajanova. of course, it's one of the most outstanding ukrainian films, and two years ago or even three years ago, the dovzhenko center conducted a survey among film journalists, film critics, you have all identified the hundred best ukrainian films in history, and the first on this list is the film by serhiy paradzhanov, and the initiator of this screening was

andriy alferov, film critic, and he reminded in his post on facebook that precisely because the film was released in the soviet union, it could not receive due attention and proper awards at international film festivals in particular , and therefore now it will be a peculiar in particular and an act of justice, finally the historical error was corrected at the jubilee venice festival of the oldest film in the world the premiere of the restored version of shadows of the forgotten ancestors will take place at the forum from which the film festival culture has gone altogether . serhii paradzhanov will represent the interests of ukraine and the world in the beniz classic program andrii alfyorov film critic and now let's move on to these russians, er, roman polyanskyi is not exactly russians. yes, but he involved russians in his work, and he is a palace. his new film tells about, accordingly, such a big palace

, a hotel in switzerland, and preparations for the new year are underway there, and how it is noted in the description that some vicissitudes should happen there , some relationships, some relationships between the staff and guests well, for now we are less interested in this because there is only one small trailer that does not show much of the plot, but there there will be mickey rourke, there will be foni ardan, and here are the russians, for example viktor dobronravov, as i already said, he is the son of fyodor dobronravov, and about fyodor dobronravov, i will remind you that after the occupation of crimea, he supported its soviet, he said in an interview that crimea returned to his native land, i love

country, and vice versa, i believe that krym should return, as he returned to lon on his own and to russia , er, that's why i wanted to be, i believe that an artist will not be rained in politics. played stop working with him, he was then shown on our tv screens, in particular on the 1+1 channel, which was then managed by oleksandr tkachenko, i don’t know the former, i hope the final decision is already made by the former minister of culture and information policy, and new seasons were filmed, moreover, i will tell you that the last season of matchmakers i also hope that this will be the final season of matchmakers, it was shown just two months before the full-scale chase on the 1+1 tv channel again, and only after the full-scale invasion did many people realize that it's probably not very okay to look at this hero, especially since his on-screen wife , whose name was valyuha, also
