military events. mykola malomush, general of the army of ukraine, head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine from the 5th to the 10th years. good health, mr. general, thank you for finding time for us. congratulations glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. i have a question for you: the german newspaper dievelt writes that ukraine is preparing a counteroffensive. the american television company cnn says that ukraine. can lose the war and who is right, the counteroffensive is big or the war is lost, what, what would you expect you to say to dievelt and cnn? i would say that we have our own strategy, our own deep vision, we have a better command of the situation than diodu, or cnn or bilt or others, even the institute of educational war with all due respect, knowing them, so to speak, employees and even the general. generals, of the pentagon, who come literally to consult ukraine, they are consultants

, they can give advice on priority areas where they have experience, on the latest weapons technology, on training, respectively, on the tactics of war, but strategic operation and assess the real situation on the front and prospects for the coming periods, this is really the competence of the general staff and better than it, no one owns it, not a single publication, not a single analyst, therefore in the given situation. we assume indeed that we perform difficult and difficult tasks, this one year, based on the fact that the enemy was building up resources, yes, there were indeed mistakes, this is a meritorious challenge, admitted where. to the extent that the issue of defense and the destruction of large reserves, this was of primary importance and correct, but the second part is the planning of strategic offensive operations not only in one sector, for example, in the robotin area, which was heard about, and possibly in some other sectors using precisely the concentration of advanced forces and equipment, the person of long-range artillery,

missile systems, the destruction of the deep rear, mainly launchers, aviation, so say, system. which could take off from the crimea , for example, from the occupied territories, the territories of russia, were destroyed exactly from zero to 800 km, with the entire model from the hymers, the m-270, which hit at 80 km and, accordingly, artillery, bmp, respectively, the entire model that must destroy the enemy in different sectors, there are also distracting strikes, imitating the main strike, there are main strikes not against dragon teeth and not against mines. fields, bypassing, and strikes simultaneously by the force of special operations on the rear and flanks, this is a new strategy that can be in 24, it should have been used earlier, and zaguzhn says, yes, we really did not use this part that i am talking about, although maybe we could have used it, but there were some preconditions that held us back, this is the slow supply of weapons,

equipment, and especially high-precision ammunition , about which we agreed on more than one real time, this logistics of... dragged on for months, or even six months, so before we planned, i will say frankly, spring will come, when the enemy has not yet united all his forces, did not form new army corps, which he did from december last year after board until somewhere around august-september, it is clear that we gave him to some extent a time lag, but not objectively, not intentionally , but due to the fact that we needed to get equipment and weapons. to master it, conduct training for up to 100,000 people, our fighters and commanders passed abroad, receive, respectively, missile systems, anti-aircraft systems, well , we were waiting, of course, for aviation, which we have not received so far, these restraining factors did not give us the opportunity to start in 23 general, mr. general, i would like to ask, that is, correctly i understand that

there will not be such large-scale actions until spring, we are waiting for planes, we are waiting for... we are waiting for the largest amount of ammunition, long-range systems, we are stockpiling, and we will see, well , the general staff will continue to plan there, but with such general features, if to say, roughly yes, yes, this is the situation, but not exactly so, i think that at the moment there is a war, therefore, in this given situation, we can plan today those operations that are extremely important, this is the destruction of large reserves near avdiyivka , near kupyansk, near bakhmut and... and of course, this carrying out an operation in the south of the zaporizhia region, and we already see how the marines , our company, are conducting operations in the kherson region, and this is precisely a powerful bridgehead for striking from the flanks, what i have said more than once, if we really generate better forces, we have several a hundred men and we hold a blastarm and destroy an airborne

division, a whole division that has 9-10,000 in a deployed format, including teplinsky... the commander of the airborne forces already admits that he has no reserves, that he loses in many situations and begins to form already their strike groups with officers, and this indicates that there are no real forces, and officers are not fighters who form, respectively, companies, battalions and, respectively, brigades from the water, it is a collective, so to speak, the format of which units, which have no motivation, have no coordination , do not have experience, they can lead someone, but this is not the format where they... directly as representatives of aggressive troops, as privates can participate, so in this situation winter, spring, different strategic operations, but this is based on the fact that to what extent we will destroy the reserves, how much we will weaken the enemy in certain sectors, disorient the enemy, and then perhaps deliver powerful blows. i said one of the directions,

but it is not necessary, because this situation must be planned secretly and clearly. that these strikes, for example, by blocking the logistical path of the south or the east, and this by creating the prerequisites for the encirclement of the group, for example, zaporizhia , from two sides, and this is actually a limitation in resources and, accordingly, the operation on the released, it can be 3, 5, 7 months we can do everything, but really in order for it to be deeply considered, at the moment we are talking about the fact that the supply of weapons, equipment and especially... passports is number one for us, because without such resources it is impossible to carry out something global, effective and especially long-term, for several months in a row it will be necessary to advance in heavy battles, do you understand? that it needs powerful reinforcements every day, but first of all ammunition, because this is the blood of war, you need it every second, mr. general,

look, now they have started from the front to the rear, well these intensified, they didn't start, but they became more intense, ballistic attacks, various missiles, various drones, but it's still not clear, the bullets, where they want to aim, what... the target, we know that they just fired like that, then they shot at the energy infrastructure, then they shot at the port facilities in the odesa region, well, so that the ukrainians could not sell grain, in short, everywhere we felt the goal, now i personally, maybe i just don’t know everything, obviously not everything, now i see that well, i don't see the logic, they are shooting somewhere, where they are shooting, i still do not understand what the goal is now, what is this internet? fication , where are these russian missiles and drones directed? first of all, russia has already clearly determined that we already have sufficient

air defense forces, especially in such powerful centers of ours as kyiv, for example, odesa, lviv, kharkiv, we are already talking, dnipro, partly zaporizhzhia, other directions, and understood that it is necessary to change the strategy, but all starts. which they carry out today, and this is , first of all, hypersonic weapons, daggers, this ballistics, for example, iskanders, which today are, well, for example, daggers have six or seven swings, it flies extremely quickly in 5 minutes, but they all hit specific objects, these are, first of all, energy objects, military objects objects, airfields, we remember that they are constantly hitting khmelnytskyi, kirovohrad, for example,... kyiv, partly cherkasy, we do not decipher where our objects are, but they are trying to aim there, the only thing that we beat them,

this is our advantage today, and it is understandable kyiv, as they say, hits on the center of decision-making, there is already a wide range here , there are administrative buildings, there are also military factories, so to speak, here are the facilities of the military industry , these are military units, well, of course, it is possible administrative buildings, but that's right said that we... first shoot them down, on the other hand disorientate with radio-electronic capabilities, the third situation, they do not have exact coordinates, but along with the fact that they wanted to hit specific objects, including those that i said, and energy, military, administrative, our headquarters, and ammunition warehouses, oil depots, and airfields, that's where it flies, the only thing that doesn't reach, because we still took part, but the consequences are there to some extent, because it is very active. they use hypersonic weapons, ballistics, which actually give people the opportunity to hide for 5, 7, 10

minutes, in some cases we remember that the explosions were already going on, and accordingly the alarm was only about after, but such systems as yakers, iris, samti and others, they fix literally automatic mode of these arrivals, and even that alarm no... sounded, and they already caught the target and penetrated them completely, but it is to some extent important for the enemy to clearly strike at the specific objects that they are aiming for, as we say, and it does not succeed in more cases, but the second component, as launched the s-400, these are anti-aircraft triumphs, as you say, which are unattainable, they redesigned ground targets, they fly 3 minutes to kyiv from the russian border, and in this situation, they don’t care where these... they don’t have a very clear target orientation, well, for example, a specific plant or a specific airfield, or a specific building, they can have a flight range of several tens of kilometers, well, if

more so, they landed, but a few kilometers are in the specific territory where they directed the trajectory, but they fly quickly, and here already the tasks are purely terrorist against the civilian population, they would they live where people live, where they work, respectively, where there is a school, where there is a kindergarten, we say. literally, it is even about kyiv, this is already its format, that they want to take revenge on ukrainians, suppress the spirit of ukrainians, force them, so to speak, to fear and protest against the war and forced the state leadership to negotiate, so to speak, but on russia's terms, this is one of the second factors of these launches, which we have, which change the trajectories, which change the parameters accordingly, then ballistics, then not cruise missiles, then a combination with shaheds, then ... to achieve something, that is, the format of striking as many strikes as possible on a military object, a civilian object, an energy object, of course,

and sow panic and fear. sir, mr. general, look, such deep state observers say that the occupiers control 96% the territory of marinka, such a village or town , this, well, we have to worry , we have to worry somehow, how much it is, how much the ukrainian army needs this marinka, what it gives this marinka, how much we, how happy the russians should be that they captured 96% , and to what extent they have... well, how do ukrainians worry that 96% are enraptured. i will say this, every centimeter of land is important for ukraine, it is our land, so in this situation, yes, indeed, where we even leave the land, we are really forced to do it at the expense of that indeed, other options for use , for example, force majeure, and of course , with huge losses, this is the loss of human lives, a huge number, first of all

, and experienced military personnel, as two mandatory components, that it is better to retreat to some extent, when there is destroyed marinka completely, but to preserve the personnel , to preserve the fighting capacity and literally right there or from other positions, so to speak, to deliver counterattacks or, accordingly, strikes from the flanks, styles, i think that the preservation of precisely the combat units is important, because this is a perspective and counterattacks, this is the prospect of these huge e... destructions, if we carry out daily up to a thousand people and more wounded, how many, if we take a month, we literally take the avdiiv direction and in general this entire sector of the east 100, 1200, 1300 people are destroyed, how many wounded no less, if we say at least 200 per day, 60,000 in 30 days, this is a minimum of 10 brigades, in russia the brigade is somewhere between 4-6,000, this is the maximum i take, and if there, as a rule

, they are staffed or limited, this... more than 10, somewhere 12-14 brigades, that's even in a month a powerful blow against russia, many myths are told, the institute for the study of war, there is british intelligence, and some colleagues and analysts say, yes, this is an immeasurable force, so to speak, but not immeasurably, if we are talking about the killed and wounded during the war, it is difficult wounded, about 700 thousand, this is a huge loss, where a number of analysts correctly said, 90%. additional - this is personnel who, respectively, was in the armed forces of the russian federation, this is more experienced, who went through wars in various parts of the world, including ukraine, who accordingly, he underwent basic training, including airborne troops, paratroopers , marines, mercenaries, all those who were trained as professionals, and now they are recruiting all those who go for mobilization, who are hired, but under pressure, who would not really want to fight,

so who knows what... mykola malomush, by the way, they could make a wish, because the two mykolas talked, and if not, then not anymore, mykola malomush, general of the army of ukraine, head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine from the 5th to the 10th years, was with us, now we are more to diplomacy, ivan, ivan klimpush-sensadze, we are visiting a member of the people's deputy of ukraine, the head of the committee on the integration of ukraine into the eu, it is very relevant now for... ukraine and the first question is this, i would say not a serious one, but good health i, ms. ivanna , but it is so important, i think, you know why you didn’t tell us all that we need to collect money to buy coffee for mr. orbán, if we had known, we would have dropped out, and there would have been gradually, you know, first the german the leader would tip, the next vote french, then i couldn't stand belgian, then polish.

in two or three months, i think that his heart would not have been there if we were in europe, i don't know, it would have withstood, of course, so much coffee, but we must understand with you that all the leaders of the european union are really here , and being very serious about the task they set before themselves, to make a decision about the negotiations, the opening of membership negotiations with ukraine and... moldova, about other decisions, of course, they made an effort to play this game in dozens of hands, on the instrument which will give such a beautiful, beautiful result, as we got after the meeting of the european council, when a truly historical, historical mission for himself there, the european outlined an additional new historical mission.
