we know about this, as well as the fact that despite all the russian threats, er, the alternative black sea corridor still works, ships enter odessa, and although it is attacked continuously at night, so are the shaheds, er, the iranian one, but not less, the movement of both grain and metallurgical products of ukraine was unblocked, so that the russians did not succeed in blocking us, of course we will also talk about this, here, a lot, of course, now there is a lot of buzz around the release of the unexpected, already ex-commander of the special operations forces, general viktor horrenka, interesting circumstances, the ssso commander did not know that he was going to be fired, she found out that he was dismissed from the appeal. of the evening

traditional volodymyr zelensky claims that the commander of the armed forces of ukraine , valery zaluzhnyi, was also unaware of this dismissal. a strange situation, how such a desynchronization of steps and events could happen, now a whole, a whole group of troops and a whole section of troops. the appointment of volodymyr zelenskyi was headed by a colonel, colonel serhiy lupanchuk, aa surname, in a word, a strange story, by the way, it happened in the background, again in a high-profile time publication, where journalist simon schuster claimed that the president's office was preparing some layoffs among the military command, as they were not satisfied with the results of the contrana.

offensive and want to shift the responsibility for it to the military, by the way, they accused the journalist, this simon shustor, that he said that he was of russian origin somewhere, and he was not like that, they agreed that this and all the unnamed sources anonymous in the president's office, it's actually all arestovych, who told him all this, all this nonsense about what is happening in the president's office, to which, by the way , simon schuster already said that he took that all these anonymous sources are actually the deputy heads of the president's office, acting, those who is now, and accordingly in this way, without directly rejecting that he, arestovych in one way or another had something to do with the preparation of this, this publication, which, by the way, simon shuster, whom the president will remind.

at one time, zelsky was awarded an order for the fact that he wrote two highly favorable articles about ukraine and about volodymyr zelenskyi himself, and actually through shuster's efforts and precisely as an illustration of the publication, president zeletskyi has already been on the cover of the magazine, the oldest magazine in the united states, three times, but the third publication is certainly not so comfortable, and shuster himself, by the way, said that it is one of the most difficult publications. throughout his journalistic career, and simon schuster is one of the most famous american journalists. well, gentlemen, in the meantime, i have the following information for you, we already said that yesterday we celebrated ukraine day missile troops and artillery, this holiday was founded in 1997, in the conditions of the aggression of the russian federation, these self-soldiers showed their strength, power and endurance, but reproaches. not the renewal of artillery brigades

started only in 2014, we ourselves remember and understand why this happened, but my colleague daria ruban will tell about the fact that there are no former artillerymen and why. armed with artillery guns, howitzers, jet, missile and self-propelled installations, reconnaissance, communication and other means, they are called gods of war, whether or not the greatest threat to the enemy. serhiy was serving a military service. at the missile and artillery range, in 2014 he had additional training, in april, after the announcement of mobilization, without thinking he became the 72nd brigade named after the black zaporozhets, dozens of soldiers were subordinate to him, because he was the commander of the battery control platoon. according to serhii, for artillerymen , mathematical knowledge plays a key role, because nowadays our soldiers have nettles and other

programs that carry out the necessary calculations to defeat the enemy tens of kilometers away. and then there was no, then there was pu, the control device in pgz is a simple geodetic task, bussol is a periscopic artillery device that measures the direction angle, in general, these are the things that it was for me, well, space, then it was not clear, but in a year and a half i mastered it all, knew how to calculate all these problems, how to calculate the direction angle, the distance from closed... firing positions, open firing positions to specifically the point of impact of the projectile. bilotserkivets spent six months in the east, of which two months were his the unit was under siege by the enemy. as serhiy recalls, all that time, his beloved wife iryna could not find a place for herself and

constantly went to kyiv with a request to provide help to the artillerymen. currently, the soldier is in the operational reserve of the glorious 72nd brigade and has three children. he still periodically undergoes treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and serhii does not give up the idea that he will take up the usual artillery weapon again, he continues to maintain contact with his brothers, but he has already lost some of them in the war, these are the same brothers, and in whom you are sure at one hour or another at the same time when he can cover your back, this is very important, at the front it is very important. therefore, to the boys who are here now, i want to say that everyone will fight, the boys will all fight , because they need a lot of support, they also need rotation, so let them train, so

we thank the gods of war, who pour heavily on the russians every day. daria ruban, oleksandr kuga, espresso bela tserkov. what's wrong, i drank an antibiotic, i took an antibiotic, bye about drinking, gavrila, you're sick too, sick, i drank an antibiotic, a hole in your stomach, shakhtar barcelona on mego-go, the defeat on the field of barca did not break our team, november 7 at 19:45, the miners will give a real fight, turn on the super match exclusively on mego-go. there are 10% discounts on quiet in the pharmacies of psyllium, bam and ochad, colds, there are discounts on resistol of 15% at the pharmacies of psylasnyk, bam and ochad. the roof

our values ​​and ukrainian point of view remain unchanged. 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 development. events, want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, see saturday's political club, every saturday for espresso, well, we continue, and pavlo lekiychuk, head of security programs of the strategy 21 global studies center, is already with us, mr. pavle, good morning to you, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. pavle, yes otherwise we discuss, so we sum up the resonant various events of this. of the week, and of course the publication, in fact three publications in

the economist magazine, of the ukrainian commander valery zaluzhny, who admitted that the situation at the front is entering a positional corner, and without a technological breakthrough, without techno without the latest technologies, in fact , it is impossible to repeat any successes in the liberation of kharkiv region or, let's say, kherson oblast, part of the left and right banks of the right bank. well, first of all, here is the positional angle, i don’t like the very concept and the fact that the situation in the positional angle is, well, there are certain dances around the terminology, in fact combat operations and general zaluzhnyi knows it, understands it, he is on it

of course, there can be... that is, maneuverable defense, offensive strikes, can be positional, that is, when during maneuverable defense, with relatively small forces , a powerful maneuver is carried out by forces in the rear, that is, battles take place on large areas, with the positional introduction of hostilities, both sides have powerful forces, concentrated in areas of the front , and well, there cannot be such breakthroughs, and the offensive and defense are carried out by such a gradual displacement of the enemy's forces, pushing through the enemy's defenses, well, what, strictly speaking, we observe, and we must understand, that a positional war can turn into active hostilities... at one point, well, everyone cites an example of the quality of a positional war,

the first world war, well, remember the brusilovsky breakthrough, here is a positional positional one, here we break through the defense at a short, short distance , and then it automatically turns into an active breakthrough of the depth of the enemy's defense, access to the operational space, everything is very relative here, but the fact that a positional war requires an order of magnitude, or even two orders of magnitude more resources, is a fact, and the second point is the positional , hostilities, they are certainly much more profitable for the defending party, if we position ourselves as the advancing party to liberate our land, then it would be more profitable for us... to go to active hostilities, and for this we need to create the appropriate conditions,

well, actually, this is all he writes, general zaluzhny makes an assessment of the situation, draws conclusions, and the third , most importantly, makes specific five proposals that concern both us and our partners, in order for us to achieve our victory, and i can remind last year's article... zaluzhnyi and zabrodskyi, which sounded something like this, the strategy of the armed forces of ukraine for 2023, and it became a kind of guidepost of what to do, how to do, for our military this year, well, september has already passed, november has begun, and we get such a , a beacon-orientation for... how to move in 2024, a normal article, by the way, we

got it in a very timely manner, it is clear that it is not, not combined ee moments, but against the background of the international situation and domestic political movements in the united states, it's just very timely came out, it answers the questions that, for example, republicans ask. e to the democrats and the ukrainian authorities, and here zaluzhny gives an answer in his part, in the part of our military, well, and in all other questions, well, he has to give an answer. to the american congressmen, the white house, and i think that the first thing to do is the bank's, it's their question, by the way, we have such a step on the part of the bank, in a bold article in the time magazine, it was reported that it seems that the bank is going to punish someone from high-ranking officials

military service teams, military service commanders for the possible failures of us this year and here today, despite the fact that i said that these are all insinuations and inventions of a journalist, and his personal opinions, here, nevertheless, today we have a rather stunning story about the dismissal of a major general, viktor khurenko, who, by the way, is a person who is associated with, for example, the attack on the headquarters of the black sea fleet in the planning, in particular in sevastopol, and other various special operations, in other words, the commander of the special operations forces, unexpectedly with... i wonder how he released, he found out from president zelenskyi's address that he no longer heads the ssso of ukraine, and now he also claims that valery zaluzhny was not aware of this either, that is, it was done through the head of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, against the background of all those conversations

that there are serious differences between the office of the president, the political leadership, and the military leadership, particularly with regard to... military operations, it became some kind of very unpleasant, you know, news that once again made me doubt the sincerity of the assurances that we have everything in order with this communication, i mean between the office of the president and the general staff, well, i think that until now i am not ready to comment on the resignation of horrenka, or rather, as far as i understand, the appointment to another position, to one of the structures of the ministry of defense, into a serious combat structure, how everything happened, how everything will be, we will see later, unequivocally, i, like the majority of military experts, and as a part of our

public society, advocate that politicians interfere less in the work of the military, on the contrary to them helped, and here to the words in also need to go back to zaluzhny's article to zaluzhny's materials, where he talks about the presence of reserves, in fact he informs everyone somewhat veiledly about the problems with mobilization in our state, and here, as for me, it is very, well, even obvious that i see a certain the discrepancy between what our military wants and what it does and the attitude of the state and society to this process, including mass media, when the military says we need people, we need rotation, some are fighting, were

people were drafted two years ago, almost two years ago, they are at war, and what... they have next , no one knows, and at the same time, most of the society continues, or no longer continues, they lived for some time in a state of war, and somehow our society is coming out of martial law, they have completely different problems, what kind of war, what kind of enemy attack , what kind of avdiyivka, what kind of soldiers, the most popular job among lawyers is now how to legally deduct military conscripts from the army, accounting for the military register not on time, it's inconvenient, there is mobilization, but don't worry, that's it only the name is like that in reality, this is not electronic mobilization, it is a completely different program

, those who want to enter into a contract for a certain type of service, then please, this is mobilization, you... the main thing is, don't worry, no one will mobilize anyone, well, let's go let's say that ukraine, society, don't mobilize in front of the enemy, well, we already have a warm bath, you can't create this, and here i see the biggest, such a problem, and a certain disagreement between our military and state apparatus, and i hope that after all these posts, after that the situation that is taking place now will happen must happen. certain changes in the views not only of the authorities, but also of our society towards the war, we get out of the warm varna, because

it may turn out that this, someone else's mug with beer, speaks loudly about what, for example, the minister of defense of great britain said, yes somehow it happens that in great britain we have ministers of defense, journalists of the united states, i don't know, and so on, open their eyes to those things that we actually know, because everyone already has someone, for example, the armed forces of ukraine, someone already lost his relatives, loved ones, very often these are people who were far past 40, and it is a simple truth that now the war is placed on the shoulders of those who were the most conscious, who signed up for self-defense in the first days of the offensive, for example, the russian one, and now , the majority of society is quite and, really... meanly says, well then bear this burden to the end, but i would like to say here that a very big role is played by the fact that society now plays such, such

a cunning game, on the one hand, answering sociologists that we here all support the liberation of crimea, well, plus, this is happening even against the background of the statements of high-ranking officials, the head of god, gur, that we are about to be in yalta and so on and so on, and on the other hand, no one is really ready to even stay an hour longer after work in order to work more, for example, for victory, and it is not formed, just like that, that is, we, this is this issue, about which we, we have been talking for more than the first day, and not the first month, probably here on telecanana, and we have this opportunity, wants limited, since we do not have the general marathon for which uah 2 billion was allocated again yesterday, by the way, by the way, so he will continue to work with cities of citizens in the next year as well. surely this warm bath continues, i don’t know who to prepare for, it’s just that certain very painful questions are ripe, painful questions, i’m sure, mr. pavle, you will agree with me, and

there should be some kind of reassessment, which should be a strategy for your victory in that case, you know, there are certain processes going on in america right now around aid to ukraine. and there we look at them like this, whether the americans will give money or the americans will not give money, in fact, there are very interesting things in the congress right now rise, the republicans say, yes, we will give money, we will allocate funds, but the white house must be accountable for how the sanctions that were implemented against russia are working, and if they are not working, then why are they? does not work, what strategy of victory the united states and ukraine see over the russian invaders, it is not just that we should

win, or it is not just that russia should not win, but there should be specific criteria, specific indicators, specific conclusions, specific terms, even what is directly related to military aid. they say you tell us not how much you helped there during the year, but what was provided for specific positions, how it worked and what is specifically needed, well, in fact, this is a serious real audit, it is proposed, called for, and actually speaking, we should also approach it that way, because we just have to win, it doesn't work anymore. this is a slogan that is not , in fact, based on specific theses, victory is for

everyone, and achieving victory must consist of specific points, what does our state understand by this victory, and what does ukrainian society understand before this, of course, anyone can answer me, what about you? you don't understand, we just want to enter the borders of 1991, how, when, and what, and another question is what will happen after entering the borders of 1991, that this is the end of the war. actually, going back to the first article, zaluzhnyi and zabrodskyi, who clearly wrote, then and now we all understand that it is a bittersweet one, but the truth is that to simply go to the borders of the 9th year at any cost is not to solve the problem, and that is we talked about it yesterday

oleksandr musienko, too, who in principle said, the phrase is probably bitter, but he said that i do not believe that we can simply take a million men, now arm them with small arms and throw them on an assault, we simply will not succeed in doing it like in russia, we can't afford it also because it's simply not possible to do it in our country , it's not working that way, it's definitely not working, and i'll add that the fact that the mobilization is happening today, we're already thinking about what will be in four months, because it is not march and not april of the 22nd year, now the armed forces are equipped in a completely different way, and we have a time lag for the training of personnel, and in fact, what we are doing today is a provision for the spring, for the summer of next year, that what we do not do today will respond.

in six months, in 4-6 months, it may not be very good, mr. pavel, we still have three minutes left, i want to briefly discuss one more topic, yesterday i watched the pictures published by butusov of the territory occupied by the russians near avdiivka, and they engineering equipment was already driven there and concrete fortifications are already being built there, that is, they probably have plans. to the borders of the donetsk region by the end of the year, well, this does not mean that they have just taken hold and are already being filled with concrete, so that it would be very difficult to fight back. i remember how we all laughed merrily, and sinful me, and i was among those people, from those teeth dragons and so on, and the fact that the russians are building fortifications in the crimea, which means they know that we will get there, they, and now we just see that this is the right position, but i will also remind

that when we tried only to whisper in etri a few months ago that it is possible and we should build some additional fortifications, somewhere far in the rear, it looked like some kind of betrayal, we are moving forward, we will soon reach the black sea , well, what fortifications, you don’t even need to think in that direction, do you have to think in that direction , well, okay, god willing, everything will be fine, the avdiivka will stand, and if the avdiivka does not stand, it turns out that we have no fortifications there yes. a lot, as one could imagine, if bututsov is to be believed nine months, for nine years of war. and what is there under kramatorsk and slavyansk, for example, i don’t know, i don’t see accurate reports , we know everything about russian fortifications, i think they know everything about our fortifications, chinese satellites fly over this globe and transmit to them pictures just like the american ones, well i'd like to know that, is it necessary to prepare for defense including, the balance between openness and uh, with

secrecy, it's actually very, very vague, in fact, a large part of it information that we keep secret, it is not a military secret, well, for example, about specific military operations that do not take place directly, this is not a secret, but a secret of the command's intentions, in which. in the course of these hostilities, it must be implemented, this is a secret, the terms of execution, this is a secret, and this is another, in fact it is not such a secret, and often we will learn about this information from, we will receive, ukrainian society, those who interested to hear and see what is happening in the war, we receive

from our western partners'. and this and that behave is not quite a normal situation, and israel, by the way, shows that there is much more freedom of speech despite the war. mr. pavle, unfortunately, there is no more time, pavlo lekiychuk was with us, the head of the security programs of the strategy 21 global studies center, well, in our time, at the moment, it is exhausted, and then the news release and kateryna shirokopois will be with you, but first a minute silence. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
