a serviceman and head of the council of reservists of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine. mr. ivan, good health, thank you for finding time for us. good health, glory to ukraine, glad to see you. glory to the heroes, and i have a question for you. you have such a magical word called reservists. and here we have something with mobilization. how much are you? you see an opportunity because there is one the version that it seems that everyone who wanted to leave, who wanted to leave, they already left the army, and those who now remain in the rear, they did not want, they are needed, they are needed, they did not want, they need to be caught, as far as you can imagine, they really need to be caught, is it possible to somehow do without catching them, but simply announce that people will come and whether people will come, actually. if we take such a magical word reservists, then the operational reserve of the first and second line

has long been called up, and they appeared as they did, since most of them were people with combat experience, or who served for a term, or had a military department as such, and of course they knew what military service is, what needs to be done, how to perform it, well, a large number of ukrainian citizens who knew that there is... war, that there is a need to defend oneself, to defend oneself, they came, but there remained a category of people who, let's say, due to various circumstances, well, no, they do not know that we have a war, they forgot that there is a war, there is a category of people who, let's say , waiting to be told to come, there is also a category of people who may have recruited from strength, experience, out of desire, but due to various circumstances, they were not informed on what grounds, where they should come to serve, whether

they are potentially suitable for military service, that is exactly what the military commissars, who have been working since the first days of the war , work with , this is all within the law, because martial law was declared in the country on february 22, 24, 2022, and according to martial law , every citizen who is able to work... and is a person from 18 to 60 years old is obliged to provide his data , it is an obligation, it is a law, we all who live in ukraine, we all want freedom, rights, and... we also want protection from the law, but we are obliged to observe it. many people, due to various circumstances, did not know where the picking centers were, could not come, actually, i apologize, mr. ivan, so as not to repeat myself, look, that is , do you think that if they start it now, if they persistently invite, then they will be found,

i i would say hundreds of thousands, i think that ukraine needs hundreds of thousands, i will not name. exact numbers, there will be such people, and there will be no problems with attracting them to the front, they will gladly go there, well, maybe not like, but they will go, that's my question, how difficult will this procedure be, again, how difficult will it be, to attract people to the front, to drag them to the front, no one is pulling anyone, well, because people do not want to, with all due respect, no one no one will be dragged, conditions are created for him within the limits of the law... but under which he must at least appear at the procurement center and provide all the data on himself, we need to know what ukraine can count on in a year, in two, in three. we also receive equipment from our allies, again, it is necessary to train specialists on it, again, we need to know how many people we can use on this technique, whether

the issue is also in great demand in society, at least for long-term withdrawals. sections, yes, so-called, not demobilization , but a recovery system, in turn , someone has to replace someone, support, in order for the replacement system to work, in any case, you need to prepare people, and it all takes time, it takes a long time, it everything is a lot, and again here is the question, you know, if you take from one side, discarding all the sarcasm, then we are a country actually at war, and it is a threat, and it is a very serious one. because the enemy will not distinguish between evasive and non-evasive, he wanted to fight , he forgot, something did not work for him, we ourselves remember the history when the enemy acted as he did in the occupied territories, and besides that, once again, everyone must understand that this is not it is his duty to protect the country, it is the duty of every citizen to protect his property, which he

has acquired, his family, and from where he will gain experience to protect, well, of course, what is in the army. and on the other, and most important side, it is necessary to understand that those who fight, in one way or another , also need the support of new friends, partners, new comrades, and a certain rotation is needed, the problem is that society adapted to the war, and crime also adapted, and those who are dishonest on the hand adapted , and actually created a certain excitement, an entourage of such a situation that those who enter the army are necessarily ahead. necessarily, if the advance is bound to die, because evil teams, because fear, horror, and it worked, of course, those who imposed it on society, then they automatically offered for a certain reward, there in currency or in hryvnias, but depending on the number of zeros, to go abroad, to help not to go to the service, and it

worked, if we take into account, probably, there was also a mistake of those procurement centers somewhere, or let's say axes... who are responsible for mobilization or for conscription or for communicating with society about the readiness to defend the country, this moment was omitted somewhere, of course, it must be corrected now, because we are in the stage of war and we were attacked, i just don't i understand what other argument there can be for people, i can tell you, mr. ivan, each person needs his own separate argument, so you have to work here, see more. question, which is better, from your experience, experienced soldiers, ukrainian, or trained, because we know that many soldiers were trained in european countries and in britain and so on, it is really useful, they really understand how to behave in the conditions of modern

war, but those who fight, they, they understand less about... in short, this is the training that was, it gave something, it really improved the quality of ukrainian soldiers, so an experienced person can help someone who is trained, the trained person will sooner or later gain experience, and this symbiosis , the experience of the trained person becomes experienced over time, the experienced person can teach others over time, and this is important, but to get... training, it is necessary to undergo training, to gain experience , it is necessary to be a participant in events, this is an axiom that works everywhere, whether in the army, in civilian life, or in society. in addition , you very correctly said that educated people are capable in the future to teach others, and this is also very important, because let's say the experience of nato countries and

our experience in war, it is somewhat different, yes, at the level of tactical and operational levels, it has a lot in common, but it has its own peculiarities, it is also important to understand , that, for example, the management of troops... at the strategic level, it happens in a completely different way, well , to get to this level, you also need to go through the tactical operational one, and this is all time, this is all funds, in fact, this is all always manufacturing , using technology, and you know what the most important thing is the ability to feel the situation, because it is extremely important, because, let's say, in what rhythm, in what tactics, in what experience, even here i have the experience of ato, having entered a large-scale. well, well, it was wildly different, new types of weapons appeared that had not been used before, at least not used en masse against us, missiles, aviation, then later

drones appeared, which now have a very strong influence on the battlefield, and if the war began, it is large-scale, then drones performed more reconnaissance work, well, so much nuances, we have a lot of the latest european, nato, and american equipment. of any countries, and all this requires a continuous desire to improve, requires continuous dedication, improvement of skills, this is even optics, technology, radio communication with what we entered with and what is now, well, it is already 180° in the other side, to the better side, but again, this is also important, but technology, any perfect technology in modern conditions, even with artificial intelligence, still controls it. a person, or controls the execution process, well this is the truth of life, that is why people are needed and necessary, by the way, it is important, it is very , very good that you noticed that the more time there is

an opportunity to teach and prepare people, the more chances they have, i am not even saying, there on the battlefield, prove yourself, they have more chances in the army before coming to the front, prove yourself and go to positions, to positions or to the same tasks, which... let's say, not sums, not related to the performance of combat tasks, this is also important, because even at the front, if a military man is supported by about 10 civilians, then the one who fights at the front provides seven or eight soldiers too, in fact, those who fight, only this part is small, all the rest is logistics, it is management, it is very, very much for the moments of providing for life, management, management, among other things, those who... . are on the front line, they are not always there, they rotate with their fellows, in turn, again, someone is needed for someone must be responsible for their psychological state, those

who are assigned to you, psychologists work with them, employees of the mpz, who by and large as they do not take part in such battles, but work directly with the team, with the troops, this is actually a very huge complex mechanism, even what we see on the front line, we only see... a small part of the overall work of the troops, in fact, the same engineers , the same pontoon workers who pave the way, but as a rule they did not directly participate in the battles further, they went further, which is near avdiivka, but they are trying to advance, even some progress is noted by foreign experts, huge losses, this does not stop that there? where is the honey in that avdiivka , what is there smeared with honey somewhere, that they are going there en masse, what, what, what do they want, and do we have the strength to keep this avdiivka, or maybe

on the contrary, maybe we don’t need to keep her, because it is always a discussion, to hold, not to hold, the command knows this, because they have a real map of events in front of them, they know their available resources, the ability to use additional forces. not to use offensive-retreat routes, they have information on what forces the enemy has actually concentrated, in which directions, and what his logistical ways, this is a huge mechanism of work , which is not mentioned in the public space, regarding the military itself, if even what is obvious and on the surface, well, the russians are trying to squeeze us actually first of all from the yasenovac highway and from donetsk, they they understand very well that while we are in avdiivka, we... essentially have under fire control the outskirts of donetsk, where they simply crammed warehouses, where they have built logistical supply routes since the time of the anti-terrorist operation. support

for their own, both manpower and technical means to the front line, the eastern face of the battles, if you take, in addition to this, avdiivka - this is a very strongly fortified area, which the russians still hoped to occupy, complete, expand, and in the future, when we would have there, for example, an offensive in the eastern direction to deter our troops as much as possible, this is taking a military plan, if you take a political one, well... this was putin's attempt at the time, you remember, the offensive began when sidzipin's negotiations with biden were held, preparations for these negotiations, of course, putin understood that his the map at the level of such world leaders will be considered, and putin wanted to demonstrate that he can still control the military, he can still conduct offensive operations, that he is still able to accumulate forces, means, troops, well

, besides that, he perfectly... understood that avdiivka would last for a long time, he calculated, or rather, that avdiivka would not be defended for a long time, he calculated that our troops would be weakened after the counteroffensive, the logistical routes would be broken, that the troops would still be entrenched in the south, and no one seriously will fight for ovdiivka, but it turned out to be a mistake for him, and what he expected to occupy in 3 days, for some reason they have such plans there, you know, three days, do they like numbers? i don't know if the number three days is symbolic or not, and it has already dragged on for two months, and now it means admitting that the entire plan of the military operation to capture avdiyivka was ineffective, wrong, and taking into account the fact that until recently near bakhmut, our troops covered him from the flanks, and it looked promising to become in the operational environment of bakhmut, and we we know that bakhmut is not even completely, but...

most of the city was occupied by prigozhin, prigozhin, who is considered one of the most successful military leaders in russia, and he was, and prigozhin died not on the battlefield with us, killed by putin, that is, it meant that the russian army retreats or defends, having lost its offensive potential, because one of the best commanders died, this is a serious ferment, among other things, in russian society has caused, and to demonstrate its need to putin in the elections, or how to demonstrate itself ... as a strong leader and genius commander, it was decided by putin to capture avdiivka, to demonstrate, both for the russians and at the international level, that he can organize the shoigu, gerasimov, the regular russian army can cope on its own without auxiliary forces and conduct large, large-scale successful operations, they before that, they tried to go in the lemano-kupyan direction with a wide front, they did not

succeed, they... tried to knock out our troops near bakhmut, failed, they tried to create shock wedges under the ugledar, and for some reason they decided that from the flanks of avdiivka will definitely occupy, and this will give a very serious carte blanche to putin in the future. well, as we can see, it didn't work, but now again, taking into account putin's and gerasimov's rhetoric about the fact that they are in active defense under the radar, in fact they are now. this is how it is presented, it gives them at least the opportunity to now justify to a certain extent the wild losses that they bear, they say that we are defending ourselves, and during the defense, if we lose 10-10 000 killed and wounded in a month, well, ukrainians , which are there we are also being attacked, we are losing more , that is, it is some kind of reality more or less like this, you know the logical reasoning for the russians, if they admit that they are attacking and unsuccessfully,

it means that, again, they are far away... they are not talented and then it becomes the futility of these sacrifices , of course, that he will not allow himself, thank you, thank you very much, ivan tymochko, a serviceman and head of the council of reservists of the land forces of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us, and now i hope oleg will be in touch with us saaken, political scientist, co-founder of the national platform of sustainability and cohesion. good health, mr. oleg, glad to see you, thank you for finding time for us on sunday. let's start with surprises, no one expected it, it's just an absolute surprise that putin agreed to run for the position of president of the russian federation, the whole world was completely surprised by this information, if everyone knew that he is a decent person and will not even run for a third term, here already the fifth, but my question is different:
