them, but not much is known. what is happening must be understood. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our near future, every saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. no matter what ukrainians think about, no matter what they talk about, it still comes out on top war. war. and our victory only on espresso, from monday to sunday, completely different spheres of human activity, sports, health, politics, the return of crimea, military analytics, nine presenters, journalists, experts, opinion leaders, in real time, about the most current: events through the prism of war in author's projects on

espresso. greetings, dear viewers. we will analyze the most important events of this week on the air of the tv channel, studio zahid program. this applies both to the situation in the middle east and to the russian-ukrainian one the front our guests today are retired british army colonel glen grant and polish politician and public figure myroslav cech. our first guest is retired british army colonel glen grant, a military expert. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel. god save the king. well, that's the feeling. that we have found ourselves or are standing literally on the threshold of the third world war. in particular, it is about the colossal revival in the middle east, the united states of america has directed the reinforcement of two aircraft carrier groups an additional flagship from italy, so we understand that everything is on the verge, so to speak. objectively speaking, this is far from the threshold of the third world war. in general, it all

boils down to the second cold war. what is happening in the world, but these are just proxy battles, like those during the cold war, when people fought, for example, in africa and other places, i do not observe that russia is preparing or preparing. they probably realize it was a mistake, so there are only two things that could lead to this at this point us to the third world war, it is an attack on nato or a chinese attack on taiwan. the situation in the middle east can remain autonomous. of course, if iran has a nuclear bomb and decides to use it, that will change everything. the use of nuclear weapons would certainly change everything, but i just don't see that prospect right now. so we will see a continuation of the battle between russia and ukraine, as well as between israel and hamas and possibly even hezbollah. however, i do not think that geographical military expansion is possible now. to be honest, china is not ready for this either. we

we understand that war is not only about battles. war is about resources. and on the one hand, we have a certain fear that part of the resources that should support us can be directed to strengthen, for example, the allies in the middle east, this is one point, on the other hand, we understand that well, the western structure, the western system of defense, it goes into full swing, because it is really not only about russian aggression against ukraine, but about a possible major war, and accordingly, western countries will no longer be able to pretend that nothing is happening, and to help ukraine with, i don’t know, a couple of leopards, that is, the western world should join in and on... it can simply be destroyed by one or another warhead that will fly, for example, from iran, for example, these or those arab militants can start something and a chain reaction will start. regarding the first point, i do not

think that what is allocated to israel reduces the amount of funds allocated to ukraine. this will never happen. most likely , there will be different packages, different groups of weapons and everything else is because ukraine is not ready for what israel needs now, and vice versa, israel does not need much of what ukraine is asking for, so such conclusions should not be drawn. as for the readiness of the west, it worries me because i still think they have not accepted the full seriousness of this war. instead, they behave as if the war is somewhere over the mountains and will not reach them. if the theater of war changes, it will be a surprise blow to certain countries, including the uk. because in my opinion most european countries have not properly learned the lessons learned. they view these lessons through their own cultural lens. we forget that it will not work to oppose russia and at the same time do business with it. the west is not

as ready as it should be. now the situation is improving somewhat, but there is still a lot of work to be done. many countries, such as romania, the czech republic, and the baltic states, have provided ukraine. a huge amount of equipment, and in the case of latvia, it handed over all of its air defenses and almost all of its anti-tank missiles, still awaiting their replenishment, so we can only hope that nothing in this regard happens quickly, as the west needs time to replenish its reserves in case russia does decide to expand the geography of the war. etekems, they worked on with well, the key story is that the united states finally dared to transfer them, we understand that this decision was on the table of president joseph biden for an extremely long time, and here at last two dozen etekems, far from

the first model, it is better than nothing, but we understand that we need to strengthen the supply exactly etakams, well, accordingly, your prospects and in general, how do you assess etekams in order to, for example, break through the front line, and before that destroy russian logistics in the south, firstly, i am not sure exactly which models of atakams were delivered, there are about five different models and it looks like the older ones have actually been shipped, why such a small number because it 's the amount that can be put on board a few planes instead of shipping them by sea which would take longer, it that's my guess as to the number, that is, if it worked out quickly provide 20, it will be possible to quickly provide another 20 if necessary, and perhaps even more modern ones. the us has an interest in not depleting its own stockpile because the atakams are a key weapon in the us arsenal and

they don't want them scattered. in terms of combat, the danger with attacks is that they are long-range weapons, and when you fire them, you tend to shoot targets that are far away. is it possible to break through the front with such a weapon? the answer is no. will it help to weaken the front? so. but there is a danger that if there is too much delay in time between attacks, attacks. pull up more reserves and ammunition. that is, it is about the tactics of a lot of fire, a lot of maneuvers. you must shoot and act simultaneously on the front lines to create a complex, synchronized attack. if you just launch atakams, but do nothing on the frontline, russia... will have time to deal with what happened and return

to previous positions. of course, it will definitely not be easier for them from these missiles. the russians will not get too close because ukraine will find a target and neutralize it, they will have to think about how to act differently. so in the next few weeks, putin's generals will be scratching their heads over how to resist the attacks, so as not to lose such necessary key resources. great britain was the first. yes storm shadow, later there were scalps, french ones, then the united states with zatakams, well, accordingly, we are waiting for the german tauruses, but still we feel a certain dosage and understand that long-range missile systems are very good, but this may not be enough for to make a qualitative change in the south, the situation is extremely difficult, we are entering winter, we should not forget that only the infantry can occupy... and hold positions. you can strike in the rear, but it will not

change the position of the front line. what if you manage to destroy so much ammunition that the enemy on the front line simply has nothing to fight with. ukrainian planners are also now facing a challenge. they have to make sure that they can really use the artillery they have in a targeted way to help the soldiers in the brigades, because the most important thing is to enable the brigades keep moving in. and better defend, it is clear that russia is not going to stop, instead it will attract more people , more ammunition and weapons, even if its weapons, its tanks are old, they still shoot, we should not forget that, i think we missed the opportunity or the moment when russia could break, now they are stubbornly standing their ground, and there is no other option but to defeat them. and frankly speaking, it is now extremely

important for ukraine to stop relying only on resources from abroad and start spending a lot more time and energy to build our own weapons and our own systems, because if this war goes from winter to summer, it will be harder and harder to get equipment from the west. ukraine must find ways of quick compensation. there are weapons systems that ukraine could produce, for example, mortars. mortars are created quite quickly, as well as ammunition for them. if each battle will have six mortars, as for example in great britain, this will be of fundamental importance for ukraine. the military must think in a new way. what i am see now, it's still old military thinking. people need a new way of thinking about how to act and use the resources they have. you can't just rely on civil society to buy drones, neither can war.

to win, that's why a new mindset is needed, and i'm afraid that the current cadres will not be able to find it, dear mr. colonel, you were one of the first to boldly and clearly say that the russians are preparing for a so-called long protracted war, it was at that time , when a lot of military experts talked about a short one war there for several months, so there were a number of factors that showed that the russians were preparing for a protracted campaign, if ... taking the current phase, the current moment and the current available resources, i think that in the west they calculated the plus or minus level of effectiveness the russian so-called defense force, which will be the russian vision, offensive actions, or maybe the so-called active defense that putin talked about, they just keep doing what they're doing because in their minds they're winning, the russians are used to not sparing people and losing a lot of... equipment, and a great example of this

was the second world war, in which their losses were colossal, and it seems that russia has no desire to stop the war. russians now support putin like never before, and putin is putting all his energy and russian resources into this war. despite their weak intellectual and technological power, they will continue to manufacture many inferior things that will make life difficult for ukraine, and this is about numbers, this is the power that russia has, so if we do not break them over the winter, then there is a possibility that the war may last another two or three years, and i am quite serious about this, russia must be broken, and now we are not doing it, we are only holding them back. yes, there is some progress, but it is not a breakthrough. we need a breakthrough. perhaps it will happen near kherson with a new operation to ford the river. that is, we need to act elsewhere, act in a different way. because strategy is about capabilities. and at the moment

, our capabilities are not strong enough to make the strategy work. even with attacks, even with f-16, because the main capability. it a hundred combat brigades, which today are not properly equipped to win this war, so it is necessary to think more and better, according to you, putin already has, i don't know , a sense of the purpose of this war, yes, when he proclaimed an absolutely false the so-called special military operation, we understand that he was preparing for a short scenario , so now a long scenario is bequeathed, perhaps with the involvement of additional theaters of military operations, perhaps in the middle east, perhaps in the caucasus and so on, we very often hear statements from russian propagandists about the so-called existential war against ukraine, so we see a number of propaganda clichés, so to speak, which indicate that this war is really for their purpose to turn the aggression of the russian army against ukraine into a war

of the entire russian people, that is, they would they wanted it to become the so-called third world war for russia, somehow. a new great patriotic war. you are right, however, i think that putin understands that without ukrainian resources, he cannot wage an existential war against nato. he needs ukraine, its trained human resources that would fight for russia. that's what he's aiming for. he has already attracted many ukrainians from crimea and kherson who are fighting on the other side of the demarcation line. this cannot be forgotten. this is the scenario he wants. putin will continue to establish world order. he will support anything that looks like hamas, as well as any war in the middle east or africa, because he wants to distract the west from the war in ukraine, and you could say that he is already doing that. he does this when places nuclear weapons in belarus, thereby

taking the time and energy of latvians and lithuanians, for example. after all, at the time when they should be conducting training, they are standing and watching the border, because hundreds of migrants know him, so he will look for all possible ways during the winter, as well as next year, to divert the attention, time and other resources of the west, which supports ukraine in this war. i don't know what exactly, but putin is already actively planning something. i have been repeating this since 2014, to regain attention, time and other resources measures that support ukraine in this war. i know exactly what, but putin is already actively planning something, i have been repeating this since 2014, to return the attention, time and other resources of the west, which supports ukraine in this war. i don't know what exactly, but putin is already actively

planning something. i have been repeating this since 2014, it is done. we have already a few weeks as the new minister of defense. it is about rustem umero. we understand that there are many challenges , i don't know, this is about a careful study of what the previous defense minister did, what he didn't do, but in any case we understand that there are states that are allied to us, yes, that regularly send signals, if you try to generalize, what the ministers of defense are talking about now, are the chiefs of the general staffs of the allied states, i don’t know, the united states, britain, france, poland and so on, with the new composition of the minister. of defense, what strategy do they propose and how quickly can it be implemented, in particular, it is about logistics, ensuring ukrainian production within the borders of our state and beyond its borders, and in general, whether any, i don’t know, comprehensive advice is given on how to

yes, to strengthen our defense industry, i'm 100% sure that everything they're talking about is everything that you and i have talked about in all our interviews, i don't think anything because structural things always are going to remain structural things, and logistics are logistics, logistics have to be designed and built, and people have to be trained, they definitely talk about improving training, and that structures and combat structures have to be upgraded as well, that's all that everybody understands, that's what they're doing in all other countries, so of course for the new minister defense it will be something new, but definitely not for the system, without a doubt, zaluzhny gives a lot of advice, and coming back to the evidence, i add that unfortunately there are no american or british generals who are really close to the system, although it is only within the limits of that i know. ukraine does not use everyone's potential. retired officers who are in the west , who came from the cold war and were involved in other wars, for example, in the persian

gulf war, almost none of them were invited to share their experience and help, because the system allows you to be only an ordinary soldier, which means that the military, intellectual capital of the west is wasted, and this is a great pity. thank you very much, dear mr. colonel, for this extremely informative and honest conversation with our tv viewers: i want to remind you that now on the espresso broadcast , retired british army colonel glen grand, a well-known military expert, was working for them. hail and glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, and in conclusion i will add one thing: we can survive, but there are difficult days ahead for which we must be ready. you can't think that victory is easy. russia is preparing for a protracted war, and this is what you need to think about. thank you. the decision to carry

out a special military operation was made, this is only an illustration of a much bigger and more dangerous story, how in 30 years the russian orthodox church in ukraine has evolved from agitators of the russian world to terrorists. if it were not for the activities of the russian orthodox church, there would be no war. we firmly know that russian peace and russian orthodoxy bring us war, death and ruins. every day, every hour, every minute we

we get a lot of information. the most anticipated event of the year, what is actually happening at the front, what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, how the international community evaluates our successes and what moscow is lying about, from the stream of news coming from everywhere, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine. and what, and what are the russian occupiers whispering behind the commanders' backs? news, summaries of the week - this is an overview of only important events, important, reliable events, this is analytics, fact-checking, professional comments, about this and much more today in the issue, about the important in simple language, available for all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world.

vitaly portnikov, host of espresso and invited experts, based on facts, give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. if you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club. every saturday, at espresso. our current guest is myroslav cheh, a member of the polish sejm of the second and third term, a public figure and a well-known historian. glory to ukraine, myroslava, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, poland has experienced a major political earthquake, but the situation is not fully resolved. yes, the key story is who will nominate the prime minister. well, we understand that the president will do it, but without the assistance of the polish parliament. newly elected, we understand that the situation can be complicated, and would like you accordingly

to ask what a large turnover of personnel will look like now, yes, because we understand that the executive power is extremely important, and it is unlikely that president andrzej duda will transfer huge powers into the hands of his, so to speak, big opponents. the administration, or the executive committee of the civic platform instructed... tusk to form the government and nominated him for the position of prime minister, well, and accordingly two, other political parties or political coalitions, the libyans and the third way, they said that from that point of view for victory within the framework of the opposition trump card of the civil coalition, and it must nominate a candidate for prime minister, and that candidate will be donald tusk, the president... duda, of course, can hypothetically, when we speak, nominate someone for the position of prime minister,

but his approval, that is he must receive a vote of confidence in the parliament, without a pair thank god nothing happens in poland, because poland is a parliamentary republic, not even a parliamentary-presidential one, but a parliamentary republic, the position of the prime minister in the constitutional system of poland is very strong, it is essentially called the chancellor's system is similar to the german system, so that the position of prime minister actually has enormous powers, he has all the executive power in the country. now with regard to the political calendar, it must be said that the president has 30 days according to the constitution to convene the first session of the newly elected parliament, the parliament is already bicameral, and then the president entrusts some politician with the function of performing the function of the prime minister, and in he has 14 days to receive a vote

of confidence in the parliaments in the lower the lower house, the only problem that can be here is that the president wants to say that he is not interested in the opinion of the political forces of the opposition, but next week duda invited to him the representatives of all the political forces that came to the diet, ugh, that 's political forces and will talk with them in turn about the new political configuration and the three political forces will come with a unanimous decision that their candidate for the position, they are different, they signed a coalition agreement, they have 200 there 48 mandates in the diet and their candidate to the position prime minister, i'm donald tusk. well, now i can imagine that andrzej duda will start talking, and i don't like it, or something

, and we have the winner of the election - president andrzej duda will say, law and justice will consult with yaroslav kaczyński, well, i am also considering such a hypothetical scenario and after that they will try to form a coalition on the basis of law and justice, but even with the votes of the confederation they will not be able to create the majority necessary to form a government, and if, for example, such an idea as block the coalition of the opposition nomination from the civic platform of the prime minister and proceed to elections, new to ... annual elections, this scenario is at all real, no, just like the scenario too, the nomination of another
