these armies are not sustained, they began to be transferred faster, a positive factor in the sense that this means that the russians apparently do not have enough of them, let's see if it is enough? to the ukrainian command of the reserve, from the ukrainian side we see information that 10 new brigades are now being formed, there is also the question of schedules, who should be prepared in october, november, december, how they intend to use them either to continue the continuous offensive, or in connections will unravel with the beginning of autumn, after all the ukrainian team will decide to take a break and rethink the next phase of the war, but we will see when it is finally, dear

david, the next phase of the war that you mentioned, so we understand that the so-called long war has begun, the russians were not there before ready, the world was not ready for it, in principle we heard quite optimistic forecasts from some of our military experts, but the reality is as it is... it is very harsh, very bloody, and there is a feeling that putin is really trying play long with on the other hand, a number of events occurred that were not expected either in the kremlin or in the russian general staff, and certainly not expected in the black sea occupation headquarters, which was defeated. the offensive itself, the strategic summer company of the ukrainian army, had as its goal not just an exit to

the shore of the sea of ​​azov with the cutting of the land corridor, the strategic goal of this exit was precisely to break the trend of turning this war into a long war of attrition in the style of iran-iraq, because in in case of cutting this land corridor, it changed the entire strategic situation on the front, it is precisely this, in principle, that the southern direction differs from all the others, because the entire front has the shape of a horseshoe and the only place where it is possible to... break it into two parts, let's say this is the south, but if it turns out, the war continues as it has been going on until now, that is, it really turns into an iran-iraq war, a war of attrition in itself is never beneficial to anyone, but in this case it is clear that it is much more disadvantageous to ukraine than to russia, because millions of refugees missile air strikes continue throughout the country, strikes on infrastructure, industry, etc. continue.

and generally unclear prospects of the state, how to continue state building in such conditions, the russians , on the one hand, of course, did not plan such a long war in advance, but after kiev failed in 3 days, and even after the retreat from the kharkiv region, from kherson region, in principle, if you take a couple of steps back and look, the situation of russia at the front is not like that bad, no... some kind of collapse of the front, no, the collapse of the russian army, the russian statehood, the enemies of the enemy of moscow , in principle, it is possible to fight, that is why all these plans for the long game are from there, all these already announced plans for the buildup of armed forces until the twenty-sixth year forces, and we see the expansion of the military industry and the already announced figures for the increase in military spending , indeed, russia enters this long war of attrition in a better position than...

ukraine, because even the same shelling, for example, affects only a few border regions, of course, no one flies into the depths of russia, and the whole question, indeed, how much longer can this continue, especially given that in terms of military equipment, ukraine is almost completely dependent on the western allies, that is, in simple words, it depends on as they see the goal of this war, it is far from the number that ukraine would like for itself for some decisive victories, this is all... not enough, therefore everything precisely rests not so much on the possibility as such, but on the intentions, in this case the intentions of western leaders, first of all, in the united states, and here again there are additional political points , we are entering the pre-election period in the united states, in principle, any war is first of all a political matter, then a military one, but this is a specific war even more , precisely because ukraine is almost completely dependent on the western allies, they themselves are not in that reason

they are guided not so much by military as by political reasons, so let's see, indeed, in which direction wishes will come about what they see, what is called this... which way is it pushing, is it, for example , theoretically putting pressure on the ukrainian leadership so that it goes in some direction, or in the other direction, they can theoretically say , let's admit, even this summer offensive did not bring such results as we wanted, but in principle the war is not lost yet, we will continue to supply weapons, for example, for the next summer offensive, we will allocate so many other things, but this must be resolved first. .. western leadership, this is not so much a military as a political issue, we still do not know how the same abrams m1 tanks will be used, yes, but as if the process has started, yes, i want to believe that their number will increase there, i don’t know, from a dozen

units up to several hundred, but this, as you rightly noted, will depend largely on the plans of the united states, on the other hand, there are chances of getting cassette etecems, and here the key is ... the story is that america can overcome this psychological threshold, yes, because etekoms is extraordinary seriously, although we understand various modifications and so on, well, but what concerns the south , cassette attacks would be very, very good, in principle, you can say, i stretch my legs, the same as stormshaw, and the scalps were also not put in, but they are not quite useful. they provide, if you add to them also this kms, an additional, additional plus , perhaps for ukraine in that it is not necessary to use airplanes for them, they are launched from land-based aimars, perhaps it will be easier for ukraine, in any case, not for nothing ,

in principle, ukraine has been asking for this for a long time for a reason, the united states has not given it so far, apparently both sides agree that it will bring a positive effect, and perhaps so positive that the united states are afraid... escalations are precisely why they do not give it, then the fact that it is not given shows that great importance is attached to this weapon, but on the other hand , it is still necessary to emphasize once again that it is not some kind of miracle, it will not solve the war by itself, but it is another plus, an additional plus, let's say so , impact on the southern front, что it is too far from the front, russia still has the same ships, so they cannot withdraw , because sooner or later they will not withstand the sea, so they have limitations, they can deliver tkms to this depth, so we will really see if they will give in the front in the near future, because information comes every day, contradictions have already been promised, no, they have not been promised, in fact they have already been given, they just do not want to be told, but in any case, the application as such, apparently, has not yet happened at the front, so

we will see, if they still arrive, they will start applied, then we will already be able to really see , not theoretically, practically, dear mr. handelman, but how do you think under the current circumstances...' a breakthrough of the enemy's front line could look like, the battles are complicated by the fact that the entire territory, the entire perimeter is mined , and we understand that the russians, well, their key, main task is to stop the offensive impulse, so that it is possible to move to some actions of their own, perhaps a counter-offensive plan, but in any case we understand that russian logistics are collapsing, gradually, but falls and if, for example, will be destroyed. but what is called the railway part of the tokmak, the russians may have additional big problems. after the first requests in june, when the ukrainian command saw that it was not really possible to make a quick breakthrough , then a dilemma arose, either to curtail the offensive completely, or to switch to the tactics

of slow penetration, they decided that it is better slowly than nothing, so now it is also difficult expect that suddenly the russians will suddenly run out of strength, this will allow some quick breakthroughs. output to operative the space while the slow penetration continues, also in principle a couple of hundred meters, because of the same principle, it is better to be slow , how about, indeed, if it was successful at least, then it could be considered a partial part of this offensive, about the transition of the counteroffensive for the russians just now far not a fact, if they have more or less enough for defense, for the offensive they need much more, first of all, military equipment, not a fact that they are now already ready in this regard, especially if these 18-25 armies are already hastily rushed under-formed on the front is still at the stage of defense, it is not a fact that even if

the ukrainian offensive stops in the near future, and it is not a fact that the russians, purely physically, will be able to launch some kind of massive offensive there in the near future, in other areas, as in the same ... we saw the offensive demands of the russians in the kupan and lyman directions, there in general they have quite a large group in total, in the kupan direction more than 100,000, 700-900 tanks. and so on, we have not seen any great russian successes offensive, that is, just in terms of the prospects of the russian offensive, their chances are not particularly great, but the problem for ukraine is that it is now counting on the success of its own offensive, so we will see when it finally ends, how exactly it will end, what will it be achievements, even without the russians immediately going on the offensive, if, for example, there will be no significant results, that is? the end of our offensive momentum does not mean that the russians have the strength and equipment, well, it says there, i don't know about personnel

warehouse and additional mechanized connections, thanks to which they could, for example, open a new additional section of the front. in general, we can see that the lemano-kupyan axis, which they wanted to form , is basically stuck, but maybe they would start trying to roll out additional sections of the front, vopros gde zamin, seychaj in principle na yuge... the russians are now conducting a strategic defense operation, they are also defending in the bakhlov direction, requests for offensive actions in the kupinskoye direction, they are still conducting without a person success, so if they go somewhere to conduct an offensive action, it will be on one, on one of the active sections of the front, expect that they will open some new direction, for example, through the dnieper or through belarus, this is extremely unlikely, because that, in principle, this is not very beneficial from all sides in terms of... logistics first of all, so if they enter somewhere, then the simplest thing will be to increase offensive demands

where they are already being conducted, that is, in the northeastern, kupyan, and aliman directions , but let's see, first of all, how this phase of the war will end, after all, we still do not know how the ukrainian command wants to use these 10 brigades that are being prepared now, perhaps they will want to abandon, let's say, a permanent offensive, if the ukrainian command decides... they will not stop their offensive in the winter , then the russians will still not be up to their offensive, if ukraine continues its offensive, then the russians will automatically be forced to defend themselves there, and perhaps they will simply not have enough strength for some other area, for their own offensive, everything depends on the results and the desire of the ukrainian command to continue or not to continue its offensive depending on these results.

after the autumn revolution, perhaps even during it, it is clear that it will be even slower than now, if we talk about the use of mechanized units or mechanized units, in particular, we are talking about leopards and american abrams, we understand , that there is a front line, it is mined, on the other hand, we understand that the guns and our fighters are working extremely well successfully, precisely, i don’t know, interesting or not, just this war once again shows that in this war it is not so much quality that is important, but quantity and the main benefit, the same leopards then from abramsov, when they do not yield, not in some quality how much they specifically shoot there and what are the millimeters of armor penetration and so on, the main thing is the quantity, even if it is a slightly worse tank, but even if it were more, this war will swallow even not the same amount in principle even... we have already seen the same leopards, they are just like any other the second tank, they are also fighting, also speaking, there is no miracle of tanks

, and the challengers, everything else will be the same, everything depends on the quantity, not on the quality, purely here , again, before, not in a purely military political resume, now, if it is 31 abram really is finally coming, it is clear that if the united states wanted to, unlike europe , which really does not have so many armed men left, the united states could take out of its pocket not 30, but 300 obromtsov, and ukraine found would for them and tankers, and mechanics, and etc., but the united states do not want, they hold, that is why , in principle, the problem is even, in principle, there are two combined problems, one of them is that it is clear that in the conditions of the southern front, which there are, it is difficult to use large mechanized forces, but the very fact that there are not many tanks makes them more economical, yes. if there were more of them, it is possible that the ukrainian command would once again think about the possibility of some major

breakthrough, but it is clear that there are several aspects at work, simultaneously on all of these aspects of the totality, it was decided to mainly act in small infantry groups, and armored vehicles mainly support them, but here and there we see a message that, where possible, even if small units still use armored vehicles, then we will see if it will really be possible to break through, these lines of defense to more or less enter the operational space, if it is at all possible in the conditions of such slow progress, we will see, but in any case, in general and in general, as for the equipment, it should be emphasized once again that this is a war, dear david, at one time you said an undoubtedly prophetic phrase, like this: the russians did not prepare and did not expect such a war, no one certainly did, in particular, it is about the situation in the sky. yes, we understand that the russians prevail , but despite this, our counteroffensive is developing, on the other hand, drones, unmanned lethal aircraft,

including naval ones, even drones, they are starting to play an increasingly important role. on the other hand, we understand that they are increasing the production of drones, i think they have already established the production of iranian products and not only iranian products, if speaking specifically about drones, in general, if ukraine had an advantage at the beginning of the war, the russians lacked a drone in the first place, again in the quantitative aspect, because in principle they had individual copies for almost the entire lineup, all that was needed in they were there, but it was trivially few, it was not enough for such a big war , so they urgently turned to iran , a few months after the start of the war, iran closed as much as possible, partially, of course, but closed the bottleneck for the russians in this

region, and then in the past time, russia has so developed this entire area of ​​drones of all types that now it has basically bypassed ukraine on the whole topic, russia has now already come forward, if ukraine does not stimulate its capabilities in terms of production of such purchases and other things, in general, as it is now, the trend towards a war of drones is unfavorable for ukraine, joint production in poland, in principle in ukraine itself, if desired , was also possible in a year and a half, even underground production, it is quite possible that this is also being done, for obvious reasons , it does not get into the open press, because immediately after that russian gifts are flying for this production, it is clear that what is possible is being done, but if you look at it as a purely objective indicator, how it looks at the front , russia has come forward, in your opinion, where would the new minister of defense

umerov and the new team of the ministry should make maximum efforts now, that is, in ... areas of what is called the work of the ministry of defense, where should they speed up? they themselves know everything very well, they have a list of tasks, but the ministry of defense, in fact, its task is not to fight, but to prepare everything for the army, logistics and planning, yes, yes, everything that was called everything for the front, everything for victory, primarily military production, including including cooperation with allies, precisely because, if it is possible, to carry at least part of the production abroad, where it will not be attacked, this, of course, must be done, partially it is already being done, and even partially it has already been announced in the press, as danilo said fr the fact that at least a part of ukraine's rocket production is carried out abroad, it is clear that what can be done, far from everything gets into the press, but the fact itself, if there are still reasons, means that, despite all the objective reasons, it means that we need

to strengthen even more, up to necessarily more, knowledge-intensive, let's say, the production of rockets using the same mortars, that at one time, it was not for nothing that there were conversations throughout the ukrainian army with splashes on the internet about the fact that there is an extreme shortage of mortars, recently we see a message about what apparently, they took up this topic more actively, it seems that there were more of them, but in any case, i must emphasize once again that mortars are not airplanes, not tanks, in principle , it is not difficult to produce them, and strangely, why did such a topic of a shortage of mortars arise at all, it seemed would be possible in the first hour. to produce much more, it is clear that in principle everyone knows the list of tasks, it remains the same, the simplest thing, just take it and do it, it is clear that it is easy to say, but in principle, if it is not activated, then nothing will help, that it was difficult, they couldn't, they didn't succeed, if ukraine loses because of this

, nobody will be interested in these excuses and explanations, finally, david, you see some... perspective that russia can raise the level of escalation in that or another way, in particular, maybe we are talking about the use of ballistic missiles? in principle , ballistic missiles are already in use , iskanders exist both in the form of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, now, in principle, this topic started an hour ago, now it has received a second wind, about that perhaps, in addition to the shahedam, russia will also purchase from iran... medium-range missiles, perhaps 110 or zulfikar, an hour ago this topic was actively discussed, then, apparently for the same reasons, it will still acquire this... iran it didn't work, but the next restriction imposed on iran in terms of trade in missile weapons ends next month. on this topic

, it is quite possible to expect that perhaps in the near future we will once again hear news about iranian hockey for russia, if this is true, then it is unlikely that there will be individual copies, if there are already deliveries, most likely it will be at least tens, if not hundreds, of iran in this field of ballistic missiles, also... as in the field of drones, it has advanced very far since the eighties, in particular because they have there are big problems with piloting, that is why they invested in other air areas, such as ballistic missiles and drones, if they start to transfer this to russia, of course, the situation of the ukrainian air force, the ukrainian rear will become even worse, until we get to that point. very much to you thank you, david, for this extremely interesting and honest conversation, i want to remind our viewers that espresso is currently working for them on the air. david handelman, israeli military expert. the time of our program has run out, stay with espresso tv channel, my colleagues will analyze the most important events of the day. take care of yourself and

to moldova and were in the city. grigoriopol, in transnistria, has not been contacted since then. why the mother and daughter went there, the grandmother cannot say for sure, but since december 5, 2022 , almost nothing is known about the fate of little vara and her mother. i don't know, well how to look for them, in general, what are the possibilities, what can i do, i’ve already turned to wherever you want, well, i’ve been complaining all this time, well , someone should see, in some school, kindergarten, clinic, especially since the child was sick, and we very often ended up in the hospital, straight away, i don't believe that i have to go somewhere, well, somewhere , something. at the same time, the grandmother says that she allegedly has information from the police that her granddaughter and her mother crossed the border and returned to ukraine. however, here again , no one saw them, they did not get in touch, and unfortunately, there are almost no clues that could help in the search. on the territory.

no one saw them, well, you see, at least there is some kind of surveillance camera that they are both alive, healthy, that everything is fine, well, somewhere there must be some kindergardens, some schools, hospitals, i asked through helci that to find through vaccinations, because i know that the child should be given vaccinations, well, it's just that the girl's grandmother now above all else wants to get at least some information about the child, to make sure that she is alive, healthy and with her. everything is fine, and here's how olga oleksiivna talks about his six-year-old granddaughter. oh , she is very, very, very friendly with everyone, with a boy and a girl, it is very companionable, as it loves children very, very much. the girl's grandmother also told us that she has information that her granddaughter and her mother could have left for poland after returning from moldova to ukraine. this is just a guess at the moment, but if you actually live in

poland, maybe you will see varya sozonova and her mother there, or if you have any information about them, call 1163 immediately. please remember or write down this number, because 1163 is the only european missing children hotline that works in 28 european countries, so if you are in one of the european countries and want to report information about a missing child , or god forbid, you yourself have a missing child, don't delay, call the single european hotline for missing children 1163 from your mobile phone. you will receive professional help, support and step-by-step instructions on how to act in such a situation. and finally, the grandmother of six-year-old vara says that she does not lose hope of finding her own beloved granddaughter and very much asks each of you not to remain indifferent and help her in the search. please, whoever saw it, may know
