[000:00:00;00] here is this transition from the autumn campaign to the spring campaign, what should happen between them? well, it must be understood that the army cannot fight constantly and after the end of a certain certain activity , a period of stabilization must come, that is, the front stabilizes, the parties to the conflict begin to prepare for new companies and, as a rule , winter and early spring are used for such preparation, as we saw the russians during the winter and spring and early summer prepared powerful reversible fortifications, i.e. they were preparing for defense, we were accumulating reserves and resources in order to make a breakthrough, we are actually doing this right now, and we are engaged in breaking the resistance of the russians, according to how it will be developed, what will be the results of the entire company, that is, in the fall, we can already plan the company. for next year, that is, depending on those

the tasks that will stand before us, we will already see which direction will be a higher priority for us , will it be the eastern direction, or will we, in principle , finish the cleansing of the south of ukraine from the occupiers well, i want to continue discussing what is said in the publication of the washington post and, as a reminder, was written by dave ignatios, a columnist of this publication, he communicates with us government officials, and in particular he says that they allegedly tell him that the us may not want to provide kyiv with missiles for attacks that kyiv has been asking for for a long time or that america does not want thus undermining its own defense capability in the event of any possible future confrontation with china, what do we even know about the number of attacks from the us or should washington really care that by providing these missiles to kiev, ah, america itself will have problems. you know, it's not about what america

wants or doesn't want to hand over those missiles, i just have to understand. during the last at least 30 years ago. accordingly, we created correspondingly large stocks of these missiles, they were produced in limited quantities. well, because there was simply no need for them, and accordingly, to this day, we still need to resume the production of these missiles, let's say so on an industrial scale, according to this, i make the assumption that america really has a rather limited number of such players and it takes time to resume production, that is why we are not talking about the fact that there are no missiles transferred to america , because they are there for the time being for defense and ivan or other allies of the united states. and let's not forget that there is a concept of collective responsibility, and these missiles can be a necessary component of this system of collective security and

responsibility, therefore, they are permanently connected with there are no objective reasons why they may not transfer the missiles. and because of the fact that there are some political decisions there, so that they do not want the victory of ukraine , you know, in connection with that, i can give the simplest example with the transfer of missiles to us , skype, e.e., france handed over 80 kg to us. and this seems to be very little in view of our needs for the destruction of enemy targets. but we should not forget that france has only 400 such missiles. thus , if we talk about the transfer of 80 missiles, it is about 20% of the total potential which was transferred to us by france. in this type of weaponry, there is a lot. if we talk about the percentage position, and we must understand that france made a rather serious gesture of goodwill, we do not know for sure the number of missiles because there are different modifications for their execution

of various tasks, the situation with attacks is approximately the same, some kind of scale or storm will continue for a long time . that is, there is simply a rather limited number of them in the world, of course, we will also follow the likely news that the usa will increase the production of these missiles let's now talk about the eastern front, judging by the report of the general staff, there are successes in the south in the armed forces of ukraine, and again , referring to the publication of the washington post , it seems that us officials would like jesus to concentrate on one direction, we mentioned by the way by jesus, they will still choose where to concentrate. let's say it's a punching fist . so why ah? well, let's say, which position is closer to you here, because offensive actions can be conducted in more than one direction, is it possible? to listen to what washington says, well, you know, there is a third position, uh , the village harrows of ukraine perform tasks in those volumes

, based on the capabilities they have today, and it is not about the fact that we are now conducting uh, uh, equivalent offensives operations on different sections of the front, let's figure it out in the east of ukraine, he conducts a defensive operation and a limited contour offensive operation in the bakhmut area, that is, this section of the front itself is very small . already an offensive operation of the armed forces. if we talk about an operational offensive operation, it is carried out precisely in the southern direction. in this way, it is already obvious the fact that the defense forces of ukraine have concentrated precisely in the southern direction in order to conduct a large-scale offensive operation, and in the east they are carrying out deterrence tasks of the enemy, if we talk about the kupyan direction from the fativ direction, the kremin direction, the avdiiv direction, the maryan direction , and conduct a limited counter-offensive

operation aimed at preventing placing the enemy's risk on other areas of the front, that is, generally speaking, in the east, we are conducting an operation to contain the enemy and prevent a-a movement of units, and other areas of the front. of the so-called land raid , mr. serhiy, you mentioned that the armed forces of ukraine in the kupyan direction are now trying to restrain the russian army, what we read there, in particular, in the briefings of the ministry of defense russia that there is an active offensive there and they admit it. by the way, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine says that the russian army is attacking there. and what are the threats there? i also read that a lot of manpower was concentrated there. so what should we expect in the kupyan direction ? well it must be understood that the total number of troops has not changed significantly from the positions we talked about a couple of months

ago, that is, in general, we are talking about a group of approximately 1,000, which is currently operating in the eastern direction, and in particular in the kupyan direction, concentrated from approximately 48,000 according to the data of our intelligence, it is necessary to understand that this is a lot, it is definitely a lot, and the enemy is trying to force us to enter the battle with additional reserves, and that is why you know . who are political about what to break through to some location against them, it looks more like, you know , a demonstration action, which aims to draw attention to this direction , to bring us to act, additional reserves are lacking in front of the enemy, it is assumed that the reserves operating in the southern direction, weakened by our group, and with an overview of the prospects of what may happen

, well, to be honest, even a partial advance of the enemy in this direction do not create such unforeseen threats to our defense forces that can to the shaft of the eastern front there are simply uh distances are big enough to cover them and we were preparing for its abortive operation in advance and in principle we determined specifically uh in which complete synthesis of means that allows us to maneuver and hold back the enemy despite his frenzied activity on certain areas of the front, but he mostly uses infantry units in order to advance our positions, trying to achieve a certain result using certain types of ammunition, in particular cartridge ammunition reduces german efforts and despite the fact that the situation remains extremely difficult and our guys hold on to their positions, well, in fact, at the limit

of their capabilities, the enemy does not succeed move forward and seriously, in this direction, the situation persists and will continue. thank you for including our ethereum and commenting on the most relevant events on the front of the russian-ukrainian war. we were contacted by a military expert, reserve colonel of the armed forces of the ukrainian ssu serhiy grabskyi. the vatican stated that pope francis did not have the intention to glorify russian imperialism when the other day he praised the russian tsars and the tsar who expanded the empire, these statements of the pope were sharply criticized by ukraine, the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, oleg nikolenko, emphasized that the following quote is precisely such an imperialist propaganda with spiritual scraps and the need to save the great mother russia, the kremlin justifies the murders of thousands of ukrainian men and women and the destruction of hundreds of ukrainian cities and villages end of quote vatican spokesman matteo

bruni, for his part, explained that the pope aimed to encourage young russian catholics to preserve everything that is positive in russia cultural and spiritual heritage and not to put imperialism and specific historical characters in a video address to the russian catholic youth published on august 25, the pope literally said the following the heirs of the great russia, the great russia, the holy rulers of the great russia, peter i, catherine ii, that empire of the great, the enlightened, the great culture and the great humanity, never give up this heritage, you, the heirs of the great mother russia, go and resist it and thank you, thank you for your way of being, for your way of being russians the spokesman of the kremlin said that

it is good that the pope knows russian history . the head of the ukrainian greek catholic church, sviatoslav, also reacted to the statement of pope francis. there is a danger that these words can be perceived as support for the nationalism and imperialism that today became the cause of the war in ukraine, a war that brings death and destruction to our people every day, the examples given by the holy father actually contradict his doctrine of peace, because he always condemned any form of manifestation of imperialism in the modern world and warned about the danger of extreme nationalism , the ambassador of ukraine to the vatican, andriy yuras, joins our broadcast. good evening, good evening. glad to be in touch. glad you were able to join the broadcast. how did you personally perceive these statements of the pope regarding

russia and its history? i personally perceived them as well as all ukrainians. and here we have such an unpleasant thing again, i want to say right away, drawing a parallel to the thesis that she started saying that some things are allegedly russian, history that the pope knows well, just this quote of his shows that the pope does not know of russian history. he treats it very generally. he treats it as a certain universal abstract phenomenon and not as something that was the driving process of various e-e in different periods in eastern europe, and it is obvious that he did not understand how painful and

how tragic echoed his words for ukrainians who understand perfectly well what peter and catherine ii did and all the other rulers who consolidated this russian imperial system , imperial thinking, imperial this state, and in fact, we also clearly checked this today the translation is really verbatim, eh, these are quite simple phrases, and perhaps this is the biggest and most specific feature of this whole phrase , the pope's thesis that he said it without reading it, and he spoke from himself, and that's why it is in this context that this statement of the pope should be treated . his personal opinion, which reflects his certain views already after that , we held several consultations with the dense persons of the holy see in the first days of the holy see

published that speech that was prepared for the pope, it was abstract , it was general without any appeals to specific persons or to specific facts from russian culture or history, and this phrase, if you looked at the full text or exactly this part, was expressed in the last minutes of his communication with the youth. that is, it was, so to speak, the conclusion that the pope spoke without reading and speaking for himself , unfortunately, this is not the first such case. we remember how last year, also in august , he spoke for himself, pulling himself together from a piece of paper and also said certain things that were very difficult to understand and perceive

ukrainian society and now we have this case again. in fact, this saying, this phrase reflects the paper's understanding and vision of russian culture and identity in general . it is an indisputable fact that he, as a representative of latin america, as a representative of the older generation, a representative of that part of the catholic hierarchy and clergy that grew up in the paradigm of the so-called ideology liberation, which had an unambiguous social left basis, he looks at russia from a completely different angle than we look at russia as a killer country, an aggressor country, a country that causes suffering and he, in fact, in this free document of his, not when reading from a piece of paper, well, he reflected somewhere his personal impression , i want to understand. and i just look, if he has such a proper, proper interpretation, if yes - if you can express yourself in history, then can the vatican today continue to be like this

as a sincere mediator in the war, it is possible to put forward one's own peace plans, agree on the exchange of prisoners, and so on. returned some part of the children, it is obvious that there is sense and reason. as far as i know and i communicated with cardinal zupi a few days ago , he reported that the first positive signals were received from the russian side on the list of children that was transferred from ukraine and concrete steps are already being taken regarding the possibilities of their arrival in moscow, in accordance with the organization of a certain event on the handover to ukraine, therefore, in this context , it is clear that we must use all opportunities, another thing is that we must, again

, i emphasized this, there is a position of the pope, there is a position er, of the entire state mechanism, which understands much more deeply all these processes, where there is a lot of sincere desire to be useful in this situation, a lot of messages . once at every opportunity every wednesday every sunday to talk about ukraine, understanding the level of suffering, unfortunately in the system of russian history and russian culture, this thesis about greatness was not connected the so-called russian is a sick culture with sadism and barbarism, which the russians are currently inflicting in ukraine, i know from many sources that there is now active communication with him, we talked yesterday and the desire, and that is why

the statement you quoted by matteo bruni was also a statement of the announcement, this is already an attempt to explain a little to correct this situation that we have to understand. thank you very much for joining our broadcast and discussing with us the recent scandal due to the statements of the pope. we were contacted by the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine dedicated to the throne andriy yuras well, before the program about the scandals with the pope, my friend daria kudimova spoke with the head of the state service for ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience, viktor yelensky, he is the highest state official in the religious sphere , listen to the horse, this is not the first time, in your opinion, in my opinion, this has happened it is connected with his bull ground with his understanding of the e-e world and

world geopolitics, it is connected with the fact that the pope was formed under the influence of liberation theology, which saw emperalism only from the west and never from the east, it is connected with the fact that the european history of the suffering of our people in general world war ii, what happened before this world war ii and what happened after it, how the soviet union disintegrated, the heart for him, uh, well, it is quite distant and a different story for us, for example, the history of argentina, the history of peron and many others but for 10 years already, the pope has been leading the catholic community of more than a billion

people for 10 years, and he could during this time figure out where good goes and evil . first of all, we want her to distinguish where there is good and where there is evil and to point out where there is good and where there is evil, and that is why when the pope supports ukraine, when he received ukrainian children recently, he cried with them when he kissed the ukrainian flag and in at the same time, he tried to equate the aggressor and the victim of aggression, so he tried to equate this good and evil. well, it hurts, it hurts us, did i understand you correctly, that these explanations that the pontiff really did not mean what you meant by them, do you not believe that he said what he said, or really it was misunderstood how to prove i don't think so i know that he said what he said. i also know that he regrets his words

. i also did not think that the pope thought that this catherine and this peter are against the general background of russian bloody history. these are really europeans who tried to bring e russia to europe, and that is why he spoke about the legacy. yes , but it is not possible to justify him by the fact that he did not say what he really said . the vatican removed these words, we will not see them. way these words, including in his immediate entourage, but he said what he said and what he said was already heard very well in russia

and it started. the heads of the catholic churches and the ukrainian greek-catholic and bishops of the catholic bishops of the latin rite so unequivocally spoke out against these words, viktor, well, you mentioned the reaction. did you hear these words in ukraine a-and this reaction to the pope's statement when they say that he is like props up the russian spiritual scraps as far as they can understand how correct and adequate it is in your opinion, i think that pope francis says a lot arbitrarily. but we know that the pope is infallible when he says excader so, that is, he speaks officially then these his his words and statements are infallible and this is the dogma of the catholic church, but not a billion

, but millions of people listen to the pope, yes , pope francis is for them the messenger of the global south who turned out to be the first messenger of the global rooster who ended up on leaders of the catholic church, the first latin american, the first jesuit, and many other things, and he will be listened to, and that's why he should be much more careful and we should be much less arbitrary with these words with which he asks uh to the world because he addressed uh no simply to the russian catholic youth. which means the catholic youth of russia know what oppression on religious grounds is? he was addressing this world and addressing russian catholics would be a good opportunity to talk about

religious freedom that is being oppressed in russia and thanks to russia, not only in our occupied territories, and in many other places, by the dictatorial regimes that it supports. the place of the church in the modern world, but for some reason the pope began to talk about this enlightened empire, and this is normal. as far as i know, this is fair, well, such a shock in the very heart, and in some devices, which i would not call openly anti-russian, a if the position of the greek-catholics in ukraine, well, how will it be affected, because the highest person of the catholic church is the pope himself? well, he actually almost praises the russian

emperors for their territorial conquests, should we expect some statements and certain confrontations on your opinion, i know that some in the vatican consider the statement of his beatitude patriarch sviatoslav too decisive and too short-tempered . i believe that this is a very brave act, and this act is not the first time his beatitude has done it in the 16th year, when the pope met with the detachment of kirill gavani, he also made a statement like this and it is really christian when the head of the church has his right and the ukrainian greek catholic church is a church that is in unity with the post-slavic throne in unity with the pope and it suffered for this, it suffered for this unity with the apostolic

throne for almost 50 years so when the head of such a church of his right makes such a statement, it is a dear watchman. this speaks of the maturity of this church of its leader . this speaks of the position of this church. very, very, very high. i would say mr. victor's statement, can we say that with such statements, the pope of rome, excuse me, puts the cross on peace initiatives regarding the war in ukraine, i know that pope francis, he tried some of his steps towards russia , he tried justify by the fact that the mediator should not be involved in some uh-uh of the parties uh-uh of the confrontation, even if it

is an existential confrontation. but again, i will return to what i said at the beginning . we expect from the church her earthly mission, her authority, that is, she must say yes, you are doing it unfairly, or you are following the path for which you are being chased, for which you will be slandered, but you are following the right path, yes, this is the position. well, we have not yet waited for the leader - of the catholic church and, er, moderators, yes, er, state and political persons who could be mediators in some negotiations in the modern world, it is enough, i would advise the pope

, if i could advise him to stand on the side of good, to define this good and stand on his side. well, now let's talk about crimea there this year's holiday season is called very unsuccessful. there were few tourists, but they were mainly from russia . some people are not afraid of the danger of crossing the kerch bridge, which explodes from time to time. they are also not afraid of the danger of traveling along the sea of ​​azov through the destroyed mariupol, as well as periodically the so-called cotton in to the crimea itself. we will talk about what this indicates a little later , and now i offer a report from the reuters agency from the crimea itself. we bought an apartment

a few years ago. we bought an apartment here and now we go every year. we drove them abroad for two years, now in the summer we go to the crimea, and in the spring we can go and measure in other places as well. to the crimean bridge and prices and products everything is at the previous positions and prices and products are all at the previous positions give me we came from the far east the city of usuriysk we came from the far east from the city of usuriysk we came here just to relax in this sunny city we got to yevpatoria by plane from vladivostok to moscow, and from moscow to yupatoria

by train. tavria is calm, easy, comfortable, 34
