about the situation in the middle east, and it should be a meeting of three, because i saw from my source that the president of iran is supposed to come at different times . well, actually, will it be for three, or will there be a meeting with two and with two , yes, yes, yes , of course it will, but everything is equal, the main thing is that erdoğan's bilateral talks with the two leaders are connected. not with the middle east, but with putin, erdogan will still talk about the situation in the banking sector, because the situation with the fact that banks, turkish banks refuse to serve, it is painful enough for both parties, erdogan believes that russia should be robbed further, and for this he increases trade turnover, in fact, they benefit from sanctions, well, like many other countries around russia, well, this is real...

endangers the situation with bilateral trade, so that, by the way, about this iranian game of proxy forces, where is iran, and where, as they say, is the syrian damascus, and here history repeats itself, i understand that for the israel defense forces, the principle of shabbat ee shabbat on saturday is kept within the limits country, but not in damascus, because the air strike on saturday is already repeating... the story from december, that is , it is very accurate, minus one general, but this is the general of the iranian corps of guardians of the islamic revolution, the commander of the special intelligence service al-kuz, a certain yusif omit zadeh, and four more iranian military advisers there were destroyed by this strike on saturday, what are they doing there and, because this is a repetition of the story i already told in december, i have to... what are these iranians doing in damascus

and why do the israelis manage to eliminate them one by one with such precision and precision? well, why does it work? obviously because there was no more intelligence on the broken rules of the game, a completely new situation and permission was obtained to destroy the senior leadership of the alkuts corps and... in general , the iranians on the territory of syria, and this is definitely a repetition, this is a very serious loss for the guards corps and especially for the alkuts expeditionary corps , what they do there, they occupy a very large part of the security sector of syria, and they coordinate very different things, both hezbollah and numerous others like hezbollah. paramilitary, military formations in

syria itself, and they are also the curators of drug trafficking to the countries of persian znaudi arabia in the first place, which goes through jordan, by the way, there have been periodic battles on the jordanian border for a couple of weeks, and the jordanians even raise the aviation, because these drug dealers are under guard ... of the guards corps, they just started to break through the border, in syria there is this pentagon, how is it caltagon, i don't remember, these factories for the production of artificial drugs, which are controlled by the iranians, and this is a huge article of profit for the corps. what will happen next after how the geography has expanded very seriously and the degree of military conflict has risen, it is all around iran. i mean, iran

struck american bases, these were strikes on iraqi kurdistan, there were retaliatory strikes, then it flew to pakistan, to a nuclear state, from pakistan there was also a response to iran, and all this in the background, not only the war in israel , but also complex air and missile strikes. on the houthis in yemen by the coalition, i.e. that this is an expansion of the conflict, or was it expected, for example, and you predicted that this is how it will behave iran and this is how the geography of confrontation will increase. yes, this was one of the options for the development of events, ihor smolosy and i once sat and calculated two or three options, it was the least bad. from the worst, well, if

you scale it, then quite a bit, yes, yes, yes, sorry, well, this is a bad option, in short, the development of events. for the region, it is meant, the war is gradually turning from palestinian to iranian, it has all the signs of escalation, the inclusion of new groups, new territories, and at some point, despite that the iranians do not want a big war, they will have no choice, and they will enter a big war directly. mr. sergey, now i would like to talk more specifically about israel, thousands of people came to... protest actions to rallies in various cities of israel , demanding that netanyahu leave, demanding an end to the war, to return the hostages who have been staying for these months in the samiz gas, it is about israeli hostages, and

they also demand before the regular knesset elections, well, accordingly, if this everything will happen, then it will happen, your predictions, this is how people will achieve their goals, will netanyahu be able to get power and continue to manage this about... yesterday we talked with roman and a journalist from israel, and she actually had a slightly different position, she spoke about the fact that people are ready to fight to the end, that the military themselves are ready to finish what they started, but as we can see, there is another part of the population who have the opposite position, no , why, why is it the opposite, those who came out against netanyahu can do the same support the completion of the operation as a complete victory, here... there is no contradiction , netanyahu's ratings have really fallen very much, and he will most likely lose the election, and there will definitely be an election, even if i am not mistaken, yagu himself said that after the completion of the operation, the election there will be, however, he is now being accused

of delaying it specifically, because it is beneficial to him, well, i am not qualified to give an assessment whether this is true or not, but there is one small but... netanyahu is the master of the coalition, netanyahu is a real heavy hitter , despite all his mistakes and crimes there, and he has a much smaller chance than the last election to become prime minister again, but it is in the interests of ukraine, for example, that he should not be, because he is a person who constantly blocks everything related to ukraine, and this is a person who actually led to october 7 and october 7, that is, this hamas attack on the south of israel, it did not bring anyone good, neither to ukraine, nor to israel, nor to the middle east, nor to the world in general, and finally at least political responsibility must come for all its actions, which led to this situation. mr. sergiu, one

from the slogans with which these demonstrators in israel came out, there was an agreement immediately, that is, there is a part of people who demand to stop this war already. is this a small part of the population of people, or are there more of them, so can it really happen, well, from those, from the sociology that i heard, it is not the most recent, but a few weeks ago, i do not think that anything has changed during this time , october 7 really struck a blow to the left camp, the left camp has always advocated understanding with the palestinians, by the way, that festival that was... attacked, it was for peace, it precisely those people who stood for understanding and possibly for the creation of the state of palestine, it was precisely these people who were shot by hamas, raped and kidnapped, and

it seems that in israel , after all, we are now soci sociologists and politicians and commentators, there is more or less consensus that hamat. it is necessary to destroy the gas sector, uh, and there are not many people who are in favor of stopping the operation, the shock from this october is big enough, and people want to feel safe, and security for them is clearly associated with territories in which no ruled by hamas, so obviously, if there are those who are in favor of ending the operation, they are now a minority, and quite a small minority at that, a very clear analogy here really. the situation in ukraine, which means peace for us, territories where russia does not rule. so. mr. sergey, if we have time, we will also try to ask you about this piece of the country, where the head of the political department of the headquarters of the division, where i once served, fled, he pretended that he went to yemen to rest many years

ago. this is such a pro-russian trace. and the general we just mentioned silin. okay, but first i wanted to understand, putin expressed his deep gratitude, it was kim jong-un who invited pyongyang, and we understand that pyongyang will be such a bully only if the chinese continue to support it. economic, other things with north korea, no matter how much putin dances for shells and missiles, and iran is absolutely involved in a wide conflict also on this axis, but it also has an incredibly serious uh-uh iranian-chinese cooperation, how will china behave, if this weapon will work already in the full, in the full flywheel of the war, what will he do? in the korean direction of china, what will happen in the iranian direction if iran is involved in an open war? well, i have the impression that

everyone has become hostage to their victories, the iranians are hostage to the victories of their proxies, the chinese are hostage to victories and victories, their allies, and now everyone has to scramble and they don't know how to scramble, and everything is going wrong , that they want it, and because... they can't do it any other way, yes, someone has to save face, someone has to survive, what do they think, that is, this is the last thing, china , what china is doing now, in fact, the kursites have hit chinese trade, in theory, he should talk to them, or talk to iran, well, it's reality, if it's 12%, well, the red sea, the soviet channel 12-15% of world trade is container transportation. it is in certain years up to 30% of world traffic, and it is about 2/3 of chinese exports to europe, what does

he have, what does he do, he is trying to somehow reconcile now pakistan with iran, he is trying to influence korea, without without without china, of course, north korea would not do anything, of course, it is profitable to escalate until... as long as it is profitable for them, but will they hold this limit, will they find this line, yes, so that we get the maximum profit, but at the same time they caused damage to the united states, well, no one knows, but this is an equation with many unknowns, but there is another one, well, in yemen, the houthis, they actually control part of the state, threaten the state of israel, but they have no direct way out, but according to the saudi spanked spanked quite seriously. in including the sensitive oil export sector and infrastructure, but now with those -

the houthis after several series of air attacks, to what extent they have lost their military-terrorist potential, to what extent do you assess the effectiveness of these strikes by the coalition, whether it will stop them and how they will work their curators? how will iran react to this, well, they are not there, the russians are also poking their noses there, that is, what will happen to the houthis and yemen after the shelling? a question to which few people know the answers, firstly, secondly, the damage is done, the intensity and character of the strikes has changed, decreased, but they continue, and yesterday the washington post leaked. and through other channels that the states were preparing for a wider

and longer campaign than expected. there are some reference points, you can't stop sea traffic there, well, for example, for more than two months, we remember, once an accident stopped the soviet canal, huh, and everyone started counting the losses for the world economy and for inflation, that is, everyone will pay , we are primarily ukraine, by the way. because we are too we depend on the soviet channel in this sense, so it turned out that this is a rather sad picture, and now the hope that in a week or two it will be possible not to reduce, but to destroy the potential of the hosites to attack peaceful vessels, turned out to be not quite correct, we will have to fight more, time plays, the main factor here is time, what will happen, will be for building up efforts, building up strikes and increasing the intensity

and number of targets, maybe there will be something somewhere in the port, it is quite possible that this yemeni port will come to the ground, it is my absolutely speculation, there is no data on this, no one is talking about it, but i have the impression that they are even ready for this and that, they are unlikely to go further, it is unlikely that it will be a long operation there, but there is. and i see the skepticism, i hear what they think , i think i hear what they think, it will not do without it, thank you very much for the analysis to a very difficult region at the moment, because there are more and more unknowns here every day , and the equation becomes increasingly complex. serhii danilov, deputy director of the middle eastern studies center, whom we call

thank you, see you again, this is also very important, because even when you look at these events, that's how it turns out, that piracy. that this also affects the national security and stability of ukraine, it is dangerous, everyone somehow changes how far all these houthis are running, but by the way, russian ships with oil are sailing freely, they all somehow have routes, and they are sailing at least as an indication, to shoot more carefully, but they are diverted just in case, this is what is happening there in the red sea, let's go now for a short break, then we will come back and analyze the situation with the war with... a surly guest, we hope that mykola malomuzh will join us, wait. there are discounts on tosmai, 15% in pharmacies, plantain, memory and savings. vinyl agency presents

of the serhiy prytula charity fund, stronger when ready to all, we are back, thank you for watching espresso and join our conversation mykola malomuzha, general of the army of ukraine and head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine in the past. we welcome you, mr. general, to our airwaves. congratulations, glory to ukraine. mr. mykola, please tell me, because in the deep rear of the body, the body rat sits, reads, then watches everything, stalks the telegram, and the question is asked, why is the plane so far away for us? all the way to st. petersburg, why knock down the tula samovars, those are the questions for sure come out, because it's all expensive, and the front line is close and there... or it should be there, but it flies so deep into russia, well, and probably, and in the west, such questions also indicate, echo, there is a strategic, in your opinion, and the tactical advantage in

the fact that we flew to, for example, there to tula, to oryol and to st. petersburg, well, first of all, we really conduct strategic operations on the front line, on the middle line, on a daily basis, this is destruction . precisely the reserve on the approaches, which really they every day of the person on the priority directions are actively directed, and of course, these are tactical types of weapons and resources that are located in the front zone of about 40 km, 90 or so % of all these means are used there, but the main strategic advantage that the enemy plans to use, of course, is the military-industrial the complex of russia, the rear , as well as the logistics support system are , accordingly, oil bases, because there are different types of fuel, it is needed for missiles, and for airplanes, and for tanks, battleships, and bmp, so

it is just striking strategic military objects , which we have repeatedly already demonstrated, for example, in the suburbs of moscow, in the bryansk region, these are the manufacturers of either launch systems, or guidance systems, or directly missiles that they launch into ukraine, and we see that... even the extreme uh-uh just hits when we researched the 23rd year of production, so these factories are the main targets for our strikes, intelligence and comprehensively our systems are already long-range missiles and, of course , drones of various types, and that in an extreme situation we say this is st. petersburg, a large oil depot , this is an oil refinery, which gives resources today to ukraine, the aggressor for offensive operations, or for launching the same strategic bombers, tu-95, tu-160, which fly with iskanders, tu k101,

x-555, and we literally feel every night for several weeks these strikes, therefore, the destruction of these resources appears to be a systematic undermining and the possibility of using these means, we see that there are pauses, some launches do not go through. they don’t rise accordingly, or we destroyed some right on the airfields, the 160, the 95, but they didn’t rose up with missiles struck, these are specifics that provide us with a perspective, but if in general it is a transition to large-scale destruction in the rear, deep rear of the enemy on the territory of russia, its strategic military facilities, logistics structures, of course, oil bases, ammunition depots and to some extent even some headquarters we are idle , for example, the blow is powerful, but we saw in voronich, in other cities, where even representatives of the officers of the higher command were really destroyed at the time, that is, this is

the process that russia must feel, and a very powerful moral and political format, panekolo, the russians are already writing that in this mud, which we successfully minused together and in the 50th, the pilot died, that the second, the second pilot planted these shortcomings this summer. well, but the main thing is that there is definitely not one qualified pilot about this pilot, i have a question about the a50s, they recovered, they got used to it after all these events and already somewhere the a50s started to appear again in the sky, and now one has been recorded on a civilian airfield in sochi, they will now be more careful, will somehow use these planes more carefully, will they continue to rush, well, there were only nine of them, now there are eight, but... they can't do without him, because they seem to have not gotten over themselves, they are simply forced to take these planes into the sky, because that's exactly what the large format of monitoring our

territories, the front line, the strategic objects that they are targeting, and of course, this is also striking with missiles, where they direct aircraft, respectively, the placement and obtuse situation on the battlefield itself, where we conduct, so to speak some kind of logistics channels are new. or moves the troops, that is, we can see that they practically cannot do without this aircraft, yes, they do have drones, there is tactical intelligence, but it is sectoral, and this one takes it globally, so they raise from eight to one and then he continues the work that he continued, but today they are already very wary, and now sochi, where they are located, is the main target of strikes by our armed forces, this is unmanned. such missiles that will really target the population like this, that's why that destroying him, in addition to the fact that he is very expensive, from 300 to 500 million, looking at what

stuffing he has there, the latest up to 55. half a billion practically works out, but the fact that he is important to us, because he will be the next gunner for the whole our territory, all the way to lviv, this is very important, therefore, in this situation, i think that now the sochi airport will turn into a military one, not a civilian one, especially since the object of the strikes is unexpected for the enemy, yes mr. mykola, we have until 9 -th, then a few minutes remain, but a very important point wanted to hear your performance, because... our intelligence gives us enough information, in particular, for example, about the northern hybrid aggressor country called belarus, if it still exists, as they say in moscow. so , about the belarusian corps there, and that they have military bases there, their training and along the border, we somehow have regular information from intelligence, confirmations and so on, and then bulba the führer got out and said, there they gave me so many nuclear iskanders

that oh ... oh, and we will be ready to aim them at poland, because poland, well, as you know, cooks attack on belarus, i will now show where the attack was supposed to come from, that is, the same story only now with poland, and in this case our intelligence can verify this information from the belarusian opposition that these are dummies, which are outdated, which look like a nuclear tactical weapon, but it is doubtful that it can even fly in good condition - say the belarusian oppositionists, and bulba the führer says that we can hit poland with a nuclear weapon, and how to verify what the intelligence officers say, can we establish this, well first we have prior information that a number of charges were actually moved, so they do not have exactly a new identification, these are those that were still in the 80s and 90s, which really will not have prospects, possible use, we remember the last time when various

types of missiles fell on the territory of either... russia or our state, but not completely melted, this is a concrete consequence. the second situation: belarus and lukashenka's speeches with such demonstrations clearly cause fire on themselves and nato countries and ukraine. when there he declares that the nuclear weapons and the scanner that he moved it becomes the primary target for delivering powerful strikes, belarus will not, i'll just say, only deploy blanks or some old tactical nuclear weapons there. missiles , he will be destroyed, so at the moment he did not calculate where he ended up, russia will simply use such targets for precisely the escalation of the west and impersonating belarus, and the third component, well, if he uses iskander, remember all, ha, all types, even daggers our systems fail, patriot and samti, and even more so in droves, they will be destroyed quite simply,

there will be no chance to use it, and everything will fly over it, therefore belarus has no prospects, let it feel like a father, ugh, mr. mykolo, 30 seconds for a short answer, social networks, this is where the russian special services draw from almost 60 % of the information received, where there is still danger , where we still have to be careful, well, first of all , we orientate ourselves that russia is trying to break through the kopyansky today, about it is advancing partially there, literally hundreds of meters in this direction, they are throwing all their efforts in order to to for... fix some advantage, and avdiyivka is a super direction that putin is directly trying to capture. it is precisely these areas that are prioritized today, and everything that is in that sector. i think that there will be no prospects, we repel the lower powerful reserves of up to a thousand per day, and how many wounded, this is a powerful undermining of the armed forces of the aggressor, i think there are no prospects for winter, for spring summer will be our prospect, so there is the greatest danger, of the army of ukraine and the head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, mykola malomuzh was with us in the past, and now

we are one we will honor with a moment of silence all those who died because of the russian occupiers. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
