2:06 pm
may i i will say a few words about you short because if i read out your entire track record, we'd be sitting here until tomorrow, a few facts to give the listeners an idea. you were the inspector general of the bundesphere, therefore the highest-ranking military man in our country, that is, you were higher in rank than all the other military men of the country, you also headed the planning headquarters of the federal ministry of defense and were the chairman of the nato military committee, so if someone in the bundesphere and nato and knows what he's talking about, it's you, could you briefly explain... to me listeners, what do the chairman of the nato military committee do? yes, perhaps it should be clarified that the chairman of the nato military committee is the highest military officer of nato. nato, one might say, stands on two pillars,
2:07 pm
political and military. at the head of the political column is the secretary general of nato, and at the head of the military column, the chairman of the nato military committee, the chairman of the nato military committee is elected by secret ballot from among the chiefs of general staff of the member countries, they choose the chairman from of his own number, i believe this is a rarity in the military sphere, but it is a tradition in nato , so he has two strategic commanders who, i reformed the nato command structure, moving from a regional structure to
2:08 pm
a functional structure. there are two strategic commanders. one is in charge of operations and the other. for transformation, it was important to me that nato's armed forces always fit the context of the current security situation, from a political and security and technological perspective, as well as were able to carry out the tasks that politicians set for them, so as far as planning is concerned, including operational planning, everything... the work of the nato military committee. members of the nato military committee meet at least twice a year, otherwise meeting weekly with representatives of other chiefs of staff. nato has a small
2:09 pm
military embassy, usually headed by a three-star general, a small headquarters, they get the job done. in place, it's worth mentioning one more thing while we're about to talk about the war in ukraine, being the chairman of the nato military committee, i was also the chairman of the commission of the chiefs of general staff of ukraine nato, so the chiefs of the general staff of nato countries, the chief of the general staff of ukraine, sat, so to speak, at the same table, i was also the chairman of the council of the chiefs of general staff of russia nato . the chief of the russian general staff was present at these meetings and, on top of everything else, i was also chairman of the council of chiefs of staff of the euro-atlantic partnership, where military representatives of 48 countries gathered
2:10 pm
together and discussed the future of the world, security, as well as crises and conflicts on the globe. i would also like to mention this. it’s probably also worth saying that in germany no one has ever... held so many posts at the same time. well, it's all the more interesting now to be able to ask you questions about just these topics, because i think a lot of people are noticing that in recent years , reporting has generally become very one-sided, and people are often very sensitive to when alternative voices appear, whenever one gets the impression that a miracle happened, each time the media apparatus
2:11 pm
reacts more and more sensitively when opposing opinions suddenly appear that can bring a new idea or a new way of looking at things into people's minds. let's move on to the next point, mr. general: the war in ukraine has been going on for more than a year and a half. remembering that time, the beginning of the war, in the sense that before they always said no to the supply of weapons to combat zones, but today the same voices say weapons for the sake of peace. where do you think this readiness for escalation and obvious lack of understanding of the potential the danger of expanding this conflict. essentially, the problem is that we have people in politics.
2:12 pm
who shape german politics, who, due to incompetence and also due to their ignorance, carry out the policies that we are seeing with the last change of government, so i was not surprised by this development of events, it rather disappointed me, because first of all ... the fanaticism with which this policy is pursued, blinkered without looking around, and above all, without taking into account the well-being of its own population, and also without taking into account the consequences such a policy has for the population of ukraine, suffering from this war in the form of hundreds
2:13 pm
of ukraine must win, this is almost a spell, as if reading a spell, the minister of foreign affairs, visiting ukraine, said, ukraine will win, because it must win, this is not politics, this is fanaticism and this is very. disappointing, first of all, because it throws out all the lessons of our history that we have applied to our foreign policy and security policy over the past decades, based on accumulated experience, and it was precisely this policy that led to the reunification of our country, this... the policy allowed us to live in safety and
2:14 pm
prosperity for decades. all this is at risk because our new policies are being implemented without taking into account the risks. you have already mentioned the possibility of escalation. and without taking into account the possible consequences, as for the ukrainian one. i think this is irresponsible, yes, i am pleased that you say such words, because this is precisely the policy of escalation carried out by people who, hiding behind the image of supporters of peace, are are actually going for escalation, but at the same time do not have basic knowledge, the consequences to which it will lead, i think that only a few people from among the military, like you,
2:15 pm
really understand what war is, and what horrific consequences it can bring to society on decades ahead, was it possible to prevent this war, and if so, then how, of course, the war could have been prevented, we saw how at the end of 2021 the situation became more and more acute, on december 17, russia sent a very voluminous, very demanding document to the united states of america in nato. this document was based on a certain view of events. events that, from russia's point of view, threatened the world affected the interests of russian security. and in essence, in a
2:16 pm
nutshell, it all came down, firstly, to the issue of entry. ukrainians living in donbass , looking back, we see that the west, represented by some nato countries, and above all the united states, was not ready to talk about this if they started. this would have been at least an attempt to prevent war, but even this was not done with due care seriousness. instead, tensions only fueled. i remember the comments of our foreign minister, who said regarding ukraine’s membership in nato
2:17 pm
that every state has the right to choose allies. that's basically it. true, but with regard to nato membership, this is not true. from russia's point of view, this was perceived as a hardening of the west's position, ultimately leading to their attack. this russian attack on ukraine cannot be justified, which violates international law and is an aggressive war, but this is not the point, the question is, have we done everything possible to prevent this war of aggression, and the answer is clearly no, there are american scientists, very respected scientists, who say that the west provoked this attack, i would not go that far,
2:18 pm
but we do not did what they could, and here it must be added that the war could have ended in about six weeks. very intensive negotiations were held in istanbul , initiated by the president of turkey, and both sides achieved, in my opinion, a very good agreement for ukraine. but after of these negotiations, although there was a final document, it was initialed, but it was not signed, precisely because of pressure from the west. maybe johnson? visited kiev on april 9, just to prevent its signing, be that as it may, this did not happen due to pressure from the collective west, at least from a number of nato countries, led by the united states, i find this especially regrettable because in fact, all the events, numerous deaths that
2:19 pm
subsequently occurred on the ukrainian side, as well as the destruction of their country, originate precisely from of this moment, everything that happened from april 9, from the moment of johnson’s visit, could still have been prevented, this must be understood, and there was another chance in mid-september, before the partial mobilization in russia, and this chance was also missed, at the moment there is and... another possibility, because the fighting in ukraine last week began to unravel, so it will no longer be possible to advance with mechanized forces , at least for a certain period of time, i think until the beginning of december, that
2:20 pm
is, a slowdown period is coming war, and this there is always an opportunity... to bring opponents to the negotiating table, but the decision on this should be made not in kiev, in washington. now you said two very important things that are always presented to us in the media completely differently , firstly, we are told that the russian attack was sudden and completely unexpected, and secondly, that the russian side always refuses to conduct peace negotiations, the west wants negotiations , the west is extending its hand, but the russians are refusing, they have made it clear that everything is not at all as it is reported day after day they say in our media. let me say for now that putin recently said the exact
2:21 pm
opposite. i could give several quotes from putin in which he explains that he is ready for negotiations at any time. for example, on june 17, when the african peace delegation. was in russia, he said that he is always ready to negotiate with anyone who is ready to negotiate honestly and recognize mutual interests in the field of security, so here, here everything is quite clear, the refusal always came from the west, and sometimes from ukraine, president of ukraine zelsky: he even issued a decree at the beginning of october last year prohibiting him and his government from negotiating with russia, so in order for
2:22 pm
negotiations to begin, this decision would first have to be reversed, as i said, there were several possibilities, and as always happens, in the case of every war , there are those who want war, there are those who don't... and there are also those who cannot prevent war, so you can determine for yourself who belongs to which category. yes, i think our viewers will be happy to write in comments, what they think about all this, and how the media covered it completely differently. let's move on to the ukrainian spring offensive, which then turned into a summer offensive, much was said, and small territorial changes were greatly inflated in the media each time. i would like to ask you, since you are well acquainted with the situation,
2:23 pm
whether in the course of this offensive, which apparently has already come to an end, significant territorial gains were achieved, whether it was crowned with any strategic successes? the purpose of this offensive was. break the land corridor between russia and crimea, for example , by reaching mariupol, the point here is that crimea is essentially a logistics hub, a logistics center for the russian armed forces in ukraine. most of the supplies, be it fuel, food or ammunition, are in progress. not all, but most of it goes through crimea, the idea was that if this supply was interrupted,
2:24 pm
the russian armed forces would be weakened, and this would lead to a strategic turn situation in favor of ukraine, why did this not happen and will not happen, despite that... what is presented by the western media as great successes, in practice we see partial successes of ukraine, partial territorial gains. secretary general of nato said some time ago that the ukrainian armed forces will march and conquer 100 meters every day. if we take the distance to mariupol, this. 76 km, then ukraine would need 860 days to reach the goal. this, of course, as you can see, sounds like a lot of nonsense. actually
2:25 pm
in fact, the situation looks like this: we see asymmetric operations being carried out. the ukrainian armed forces need to return ukrainian territory. square meter, as ukrainian commander-in-chief zaluzhny described in an interview with the washington post, some time ago, every square meter comes at the cost of great blood, the losses of the ukrainian armed forces are exorbitant, especially in this offensive, the russian armed forces, on the contrary, have switched to defense, to strategic defense , and their goal is not to hold territory at any cost, but
2:26 pm
destroy the ukrainian... make the enemy defenseless then the rest will follow by itself, so this is precisely the goal that the russian armed forces are pursuing, for several days now the russians have even been talking about active defense, that is, they are preparing. an offensive, so to speak, a counter-offensive against the offensive of the ukrainian armed forces, in the north on the front of uliman and kupensk, we see that the russians are already carrying out small operations, successful operations, let's see what comes of this, i think we can assume that at some point russian moment
2:27 pm
will actually launch a larger-scale offensive, because they have gathered significant forces in the rear, they are talking about 350 thousand people, they have created another army, the twenty -fifth army, they are accumulating significant forces, and this can only mean one thing, they are preparing for a breakthrough, not i can tell you when, i’m not speculating on principle, but everything points to it. and then the question, of course , is what goal the russians set for themselves, it is quite possible, and this is my assumption, that they will try to consolidate their gains, this implies access to the former administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions, but the other two regions that putin declared
2:28 pm
russian territory 30. kherson also needs territory stabilization, and i also assume that they will try to take odessa, because russia views odessa as a historically important russian city, and this would mean that they would try to reunite with their occupying forces, it would not be very difficult, but there is one point, and i think this should probably be said, after this the russians, we could say that we have achieved the goal of our special military operation and the question is how will the west behave then, will it want to continue the war, or will it decide to take advantage
2:29 pm
of this opportunity? to end the war? here is a big question, but there is one factor of uncertainty here: the dnieper is a wide river , several kilometers wide in places, the ukrainian military has tried to cross it several times in recent weeks, they have not succeeded, but the russians have not yet destroyed the bridges over the dnieper , and them in zone... if they did this, it would be a big advantage for them, because it would significantly complicate the supply of the ukrainian armed forces, which means that we can expect that they too can cross the dnieper, but i am convinced that they do not intend to occupy all of ukraine, by the way, i
2:30 pm
was of this opinion from the very beginning, because it would have required too much effort. these are the occupation forces, the costs associated with this and much more, but above all, because russia, like the united states, wants to avoid direct confrontation between russia and nato, and if they occupied all of ukraine, then, in essence, the soldiers... nato would end up in russia. think also of the german soldiers in lithuania exchanging glances with the russians across the border. and the risk that this would lead to a technical or human error, and an escalation would follow that would be impossible to control politically, the risk of that would be very high. i think both sides want to avoid this. i would like to hope. next question: are you
