the 2024 presidential campaign, here biden is not going to the polls and is taking probably the most unexpected step, probably not only for the world, but for himself, because kamala harris, she is 19 years younger than donald trump, and this is all the rhetoric that was being prepared trump for biden, that he, they say, almost has dementia, that he forgets there, that he can't... rule the state, it simply, simply falls apart, and obviously, well , sociology will probably show that in august, what are the prospects of kamala garis, will it change essentially the politics of the united states of america, if kamala harris comes to the chair of the president of the united states, you know what i would talk to her about, well, i think, only about one thing, about the fact that it is necessary to put an end to indecision. bars in security matters,

because if she continues this line of obama, biden and so on, then we will again wait for six months for a decision on this or that supply of weapons and so on, but this pseudo-pacifist line of the democrats really needs to end, and if the matter turned to practical negotiations, then i i think we need to... convince her that such a line will not be a winning one for her, but a losing one, and the fact that she has a good chance now, well, as they say, only a lazy person doesn't talk about that, because she is a woman , she 's black, she's a prosecutor, she's got, so to speak, every chance to show that she's offering a just america, against the backdrop of the fact that, well...

trump's getting caught up now, really, he, he's indicted in at least four cases , and she is a prosecutor, so she says who you will vote for me, as a representative of rights, justice and order, or a person against whom four cases are currently being conducted and it is not known how they will end, and there is also sexual harassment, that is, all these sexual things. and the like, then you want the president to be someone who will attack women and the like and so on, humiliate them and everything else, then here, you know, well, it's a matter of technology, i think there are a lot of people there , who can tell her what to do, it is our business not to interfere in these processes and so on, but she is now really has a good chance to turn the situation in his favor. at the very end of our program, mr. volodymyr, i would like to ask you about

the statement of the minister of defense of poland , władysław kosyniak kamysz, that ukraine's accession to the eu depends on the resolution of historical issues, and he told polsa news about this that he said, on in my opinion, real politics should issue an ultimatum, without solving the volyn issue, there will be no accession of ukraine to the european union, so what? means, that is, we have to ask them and have already prayed many times and stood on their knees in front of these monuments to the victims of these historical events, and they should not pray before us, well, this prayer is historical, it will be long , you know, this is only a testimony to my the opinion that in the polish political community these problems... they are really

in the past, but i would like to ask a simple question, why did the volyn tragedy happen, and in what territory is the main thing, and why should ukraine apologize, well, it should be so simple look, you know, the historical duration of all these processes that took place on ukrainian lands, why they took place, to mention the role of russia, which actually formed the russian world in volyn at the beginning of the 20th century, and... why, let's say, the same volyn peasants met with bread, salt, bolsheviks and the like, and how they prepared them for the fact that the poles are enemies and the like, there are a lot of problems, but it seems to me that during the times, by the way, and kuchma and yushchenko, well we found ways to communicate normally, and our presidents went there, as you say were on their knees, i saw it with my own eyes, everyone came here, did it. also exactly, and we

gave society completely different signals that there were tragedies, because of this no one can now say that they did not happen, we define, we apologize. and we apologize for this formula, which is really relevant today, although it was born many, many years ago, there is no other option, if we hear such statements, then it will mean that we will just go to the wall again and again, after which, well, it's just a dead end, because no one will ever prove that he was not the first, well, yes, and we have poles and hungarians as neighbors. and everyone will say that you can't go to the european union, you should apologize, you should give the hungarian language there more to transcarpathia, well, that means we will always have claims from other neighbors, that is , that's what we have to do here it seems to me a clear position, well now it is good, in order to start negotiations it was necessary to make

some verbal concessions to the hungarians, but i do not think that this is the moment that should define the basis of our bilateral relations. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation. friends, this was volodymyr ogryzko, diplomat, politician, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2007-9. let me remind you that throughout our broadcast we are conducting a survey, today we are asking you whether you think the third world war is inevitable. so, what are our preliminary survey results, because they are intermediate. 57% yes, 41%, or 43%, no. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on the espresso tv channel, studio zahid program,

we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular, we will talk about extremely important international negotiations that took place at various diplomatic tables, at the same time we will talk. about a new concept of war and announced new doctrinal approaches. our guests today are roman bezsmertny and glen grant. our first guest is retired british army colonel and renowned military expert, glen grant. glory to ukraine, dear, mr. colonel, god save the kin. glory to the hero, god, protect the king, thank you. extremely important speech, london speech general. ambassador valery zaluzhny, we understand that he outlined the strategic perspective and very clearly indicated what things we should change and what we should prepare for in the event. he called the russian aggression against ukraine in the current phase

a war of transition. i would like to ask you now to analyze the most important messages that general zaluzhny gave and how they were read at the event, in particular in... it is important that people understand that this speech was of great importance because it was delivered in the royal the joint institute for defense research, which is the british government's defense think tank. this institute plays a similar role in great britain as the rent corporation does for the american government and the pentagon. the speech was important and the hall was completely filled. there were many senior officials from the foreign office and the ministry of defense, as such speeches are quite rare, so as this was his first such speech and as it took place immediately after his arrival, what he said will be taken with

great attention. what he said, first of all, he outlined the challenges of war at this time. he went on to touch on the topic of transition, stressing that although today's war is in many ways similar to world war ii and world war i, modern tools such as drones and electronic warfare are changing the way we fight war directly. on the battlefield the essence of war does not change, people still die and will die, and there will always be a bloody battle between the warring parties, but the general structure how the war will be fought is changing. now the significance of this is going to be whether people believe it, that's the first thing, whether people actually believe it, even though the former head of the defense department is saying this, there are a lot of people in the west who still think that the way the west is going now military actions will remain

the same in the future, in other words, the use of tanks, the use of armored vehicles and other uses of drones, but not like now and not in such numbers, now in ukraine, because people will see that from the west there will be much more aircraft, combat helicopters and artillery than can be from the ukrainian side. this will change the balance towards the west wanting to fight, but that's a big but, if the lunatic is right, and i suspect he's largely right, maybe not 100%, but even if he's only 60% right , it still means that most western militaries are very, very, very behind in their change processes and understanding of how they think war should be fought, with serious implications for military training and selection. staff for example, great britain does not select it specialists for battalions,

while in ukraine, each battalion is looking for its own it specialist, its own engineer who will manage drones and other technologies. we don't do that in the uk and what i wonder is whether after this conference people will go away and say we need to change our thinking or will they go away and say no he doesn't understand how strong we are and how we collect . i agree with you, this is an extremely serious challenge, on the other hand, i do not want to spend parallels with the events that took place 100 years ago, so we understand that it is about the so-called little entente, and it is about the polish-bolshevik-ukrainian war, so in 1920, so we understand that poland also wanted to receive more help then 100 years ago , yes, unfortunately, there are a lot... of which turn out to be underdeveloped, unrealized, and accordingly we need

to understand, yes, whether the story of a powerful, military, central european power will be supported by the appropriate amount of resources, i.e. not only by these or other political statements, and by specific military resources, yes, if we are going to fight the war until we win, that is, regardless of what happens in the united states or comes... trump, whether geris comes, kamala and so on. we have to understand different scenarios. war is also about resources. human resources are currently being developed by the personnel department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. yes, this is when we talk about mobilization, but a long, long war that would work to the depth of the strategic defense of the enemy, it requires very clear coordination. it cannot be what we were promised. and did not give there are many points in your theses. i think

if the history of the last two years has taught us anything, it's that we won't get everything we're promised. and i am sure that it will continue to be so. promises will often be greater than what is actually done. but let me dwell on one point: the f-16. everyone is talking about delays with the f-16. these delays arise exclusively from the ukrainian side, and not from west side the problem is the lack of pilots who know english language to conduct training, there is also a shortage of technical staff and engineers who can master the necessary skills. i know from my own experience that there are engineers in the armed forces who do not get into the program and that is because the personnel system in the defense forces does not work. not only does it not work, it's broken. despite the efforts of the ministry of defense to change the situation, the general staff itself did not change. its approach to work with personnel, this can be seen in the work of the tsc. let's consider these

questions separately. ukraine will not get all the equipment it wants. something will come, but much slower than expected. this means that the general staff has to start planning in advance what exactly will not arrive and why, as well as how we can cope on our own. the biggest problem in my opinion is the front. it is on the front line that we lose people, there are retreats. this is from happens because the units are not properly equipped , there is no doubt about it, they do not have everything they need, i understand that there is a shortage of 155 mm ammunition, no one could have expected that there would be such a great need in them, no one in the world expected this, it's a problem that needs to be solved, but we knew that the soldiers on the front lines needed drones, armor plates for body armor, new boots, food, there are hundreds of essential items that... they don't get properly, and yet they still have to fill out a huge

amount of loss paperwork. and this is what battalions do. in this way, we waste the time of officers on the front line who should be spending time with their soldiers fighting, when in fact they are spending time filling out paperwork. soldiers spend time digging trenches that should have been ready by now, because money has already been spent digging them. it's all because ... the system isn't working properly, meaning the system doesn't anticipate these problems. why? everything is very simple: the general staff deals directly with the introduction of battles, instead of planning for tomorrow. day. the war should be conducted by the joint staff, not the general staff. it is the job of the joint staff to be directly responsible for the fighting. and not the chief of the general staff, who runs around the brigades and helps them. not general staff, which spends its time on today's concerns. so there's a big problem area here that you talked about at the beginning. all of these systemic issues need

to be addressed if we want to move forward because we won't get all the equipment we need. so how prepared are we to provide mortar munitions, mortars, grenades, anti-tank munitions and anti-aircraft munitions. not all of these things will come from the international community, we have to find ways to produce them ourselves, it requires careful planning and organization and i don't see it happening as it should. we spend too much time thinking about the big f-16 projects, naval drones. attack on the kerch bridge and not paying enough attention to ensuring that every soldier is alive and properly equipped to fight tomorrow. this war will not be lost at sea or in flesh, it will be lost on the front lines when soldiers die and resources run out. we just can't handle the mass of soldiers coming

at us from one place or another. we are doing well so far, but how long we can ... maintain this level of efficiency depends on whether the soldiers on the front lines are properly trained, equipped and led by the best officers. i took a lot from what you said at the beginning, but we are in a transition period. i suppose you might want to know my thoughts on syrsky's recent article, but we still have a lot to do, and most of these tasks require careful planning, in planning is very important, but there is also such a concept as the general concept of war, and you are very good that you mentioned colonel-general syrskyi, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, and he very clearly warned about the plans of the enemy, about the plans of ukraine, in a public decided not to speak, so we

understand that what you said should be done, and even more, but there is still the question of what the enemy is preparing, and syrsky gave very specific numbers, yes, 690 thousand offensive contingent, i.e. an increase of 150 to 170 thousands, maybe at least. yes, from a public relations point of view, it was probably an effective interview, but i, and i'm sure many others, are concerned about the specific actions behind the words. russia will obviously continue to send people to fight as they have... they have done it before, there is no sign that they are running out of people or that they are having trouble recruiting as most of the new recruits die, russia does not have to pay them. society in russia has not yet fully realized the scale of what is happening. perhaps there may be some changes every month, but for now russia is focused on a long

war. putin is negotiating with china, north korea and iran to ensure. armed with weapons, they are trying to rebuild their own defense industry, but it is not as effective as it could be because they have already taken many of their best men and sent them to the front, effectively ruining some of their plans. but i don't think it's worth paying much attention to. i think we should focus on what is happening on our side. if syrian says he has a plan, the question is what kind of plan it is. if his plan is to continue fighting the way we fought, a small soviet army against a large soviet army, we will not win, because we cannot cope with the enemy's numerical superiority, the number of equipment and men will always be on their side, and this requires changes in approaches to warfare. if we plan

to change tactics and strategic approach today or tomorrow, we must teach people to fight in a different way already. this means that our best officers must be trained in new things ways of waging war, the best, and we need to find more officers who can implement these new approaches, because fighting in the same way, i would call it the sirsky way, just pushing people forward and telling them to stay there and die, is not a winning tactic, a losing strategy, it will not allow us to win, we will continue. we kill 1200 a day, has that made a difference, a year and a half ago we were killing a thousand a day, that... has it made a difference, the answer is no, we are still in the same situation, but we we ourselves are now weakened because we are losing people, so i go back to planning again,

we need to plan and change tactics so that syrsky's words turn into reality. this will not happen without fundamental changes in the system. new doctrine, new prescribed methods, complete elimination of senseless bureaucracy. better training of personnel, all this should happen. then we will be able to win because we will be better than them. dear colonel grant. look, well, the plans of the enemy plus or minus became clear and it became clear, so that now there will be an enemy draw in additional manpower, and will try to achieve very specific results during the end of the summer campaign, at the beginning of the spring campaign. the second point will be the destruction of our energy structure, that is... they have already gone for it, and we understand that while additional air defense systems are put in place, our population will suffer additional suffering, the enemy is also

counting on this, hoping that there will be internal- ukrainian scenario, i hope that it will be possible to hold the situation, but the enemy counting on it, well, and the third point, yes, this is the uncertainty associated with the american election campaign, if we talk about russian plans, like you. you see let me return to your first thesis that russia is betting that energy issues can divide ukrainian society. this month, when i was in ukraine for several weeks, i did not see any tension on this issue. on the contrary, many people treat the situation with a certain irony and joke about it. i went to a bar in kyiv, where the head waiter informed everyone, we're on generators so you won't be able to order fries. but anyone can take a hotdog and everyone laughed. this shows that ukrainians do not allow energy problems to affect their spirit. so there is

a certain level of acceptance that ukrainians will not be defeated by something as insignificant as electricity, be it lanterns or candles or something else. and i haven't noticed any significant complaints or negative reactions. but in the spring the mood can change, that is, if... if it goes through the winter, the winter can be very, very hard and harsh. of course, the situation in winter may change, but there is an important point: ukrainians are a strong people, hard times did not break britain during the second world war. and i do not see that difficult times will change or break ukraine now. i do not feel this and do not hear such conversations from people, on the contrary, i hear stubbornness and determination. people say that they... and such little things will not defeat them. this is what i heard in kyiv and sumy. last week, when i was there, maybe the situation in lviv is a little different, but i heard exactly the same conversations in kyiv and sumy. one way or

another, let's return to the topic of russia. i do not think, that russia has a recruitment problem, as we imagine. she may have difficulty finding people, but the large sums of money offered for service attract tens of thousands of russians, because these sums are too... large to be ignored if they are offered money for a year, two or three jobs, for one month of service , many people are ready to join the army, so i don't think putin is facing an acute shortage of people yet, but his real problem is leadership and a lack of qualified officers, many of whom were needed to lead the troops already died in the first days of the war, we killed many of their generals and key commanders, now putin has to rake. is replacing them with new people, looking for new commanders for battalions and other units, and i suspect that many of these new battalion commanders are not capable of effectively managing

their units, and they are there simply because they are someone's friend, not because they have experience or skills. such a problem is facing putin. but i think with russia you should always be careful about possible surprises. as i mentioned before. they are unpredictable, they came through kharkiv, we didn't expect it, nobody seems to have expected it, grast, and what are they going to do next, they are going to do something unpredictable again, this is russia, can the war escalate again through belarus, whether they will decide to attack elsewhere, who knows, but they will certainly try something new, the main problem is that russia continues to build up its resources and spring. us step by step, they have more resources than us if they choose shift our forces elsewhere, we will succeed in stopping them, but every time

we stop them, it... also prevents us from developing counterattacks and training our battalions and brigades in new methods, so we risk staying the same as we have been since 2014 to 2022, just a defensive army in the trenches, instead of being an army capable of offensive actions, and that is very dangerous. thank you very much, dear colonel gran, for this extremely important conversation on the espresso channel. ours. i want to remind the tv viewers what is in store for them now retired british army colonel glen grant, a well-known military expert, worked, god save the race, glory to ukraine, glory to ukraine and god save the king, may he live long, may he live long. her discounts represent the only discounts on eurofast
