week ago subscribe russians are throwing all their reserves into ukraine to stop the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the direction of zaporizhzhia , the 58th armye russian federation has been transferred was responsible for the security of the caucasian region of russia, moreover, british intelligence found the fifth army of the russian federation, which usually defends the russian borders with china, in the area of ​​​​large novosilik , that is, if it wants to enter the territory of the russian federation , it will not have any resistance, the chinese are generally disappointed in the russian military force , an interesting incident happened recently during the visit to kyiv of the beijing special envoy ellie hoey, he categorically refused to inspect the wreckage of the downed dagger missile, which is why he probably could not officially admit that the gryzna russia's hypersonic weapon turned out to be just a bluff, because for the deceased it was both financial losses and strategic miscalculations. he simply fell for russian lies, or will he forgive this for a reason? moscow is carefully cleaning everyone's tails. the developers of that victo

russian commander says to his men in a voice message. major general ivan popov, commanded the 58th combined arms army in russian occupied southern ukraine,ismissed. senior military officials sensed some kind of danger from military officials sensed some kind of dangerfrom me, he claims. they conconducted an orderfrom claims. they conconducted an order from the defence minister injust a day, and got rid of me. our injust a day, and got rid of me. 0ursenior commander injust a day, and got rid of me. our senior commander hit us from the rear, treacherously, and despicably, beheading the army. major general popov said he talked firmly with the military leadership about problems on the front—line, including supply, strategy, and what he called the mass deaths and injuries of russian soldiers from enemy artillery. there's nothing to suggest this is the start of another insurrection. but it shows that disagreements persist within the russian military. and within the political elite here, on how the war in ukraine is being fought. in other news: the world health organization has classified the widely used artificial sweetener aspartame as possib

. >> reporter: general popov was the commander of the russian 58th army, heavily engaged in battles around zaporizhzhia in southeastern ukraine. one of russia's most senior commanders, he says it raised questions about how casualty rates and the lack of artillery support. one russian mp criticized his audio link as a political show but there's been no official push back on its content. >> i had no way to lie in your name, in the name of my fallen comrades, so i outlined all the problems which exist. >> reporter: it feels like another swipe at russia's beleaguered defense minister, sergei shoigu seen touring this. his chief of staff signed the order to have popov removed. there are unmistakable echoes of the criticism made by the wagner chief, yevgeny prigozhin who went on to lead an armed uprising against what he said was an incompetent russian military leadership. that ended in failure, we think, but it seems discontent among russia's senior officer class may be widespread. no worry in sight -- a worrying for the kremlin. there's no word what happened to this commander, general surovikin.

control by the general staff over the situation on the ground commander - this is serious 58th combat army of the russianntionists it is also serious but if we talk, for example , about russia's loss of control during the introduction of battles, on the one hand, ours as terrorists work out, all the other no less mysterious deaths of the russian command on the ground are becoming, at the moment, the system is more difficult , theirs holds when, in your opinion , what will become the critical point that can change or start a fundamentally different disintegrating so-called mechanism, see here you told me now , but i didn’t take it off, i showed this gesture, you know, on the tips of your fingers , you can feel that some kind of process has started, i don’t want to roll over your viewers right now, so that everything is falling apart. the feeling that deep processes have already taken place and they most likely cannot be rolled back to me for sure. that is, i do not have to convince you and you just share your thoughts with you . this suspension is a really big beginning of great turbulence in the russian

andriy karatapalov, who is the former commander of the 58th army, they say that general surviking is resting . thank you for inviting the army of the russiantion , the general staff of ukraine says that it will continue to focus its main efforts on several areas: kupyansk , limansk, bakhmutsky, avdiyiv , marvinsky, in particular, heavy battles continue there i.e. to hold the south and capture the east. this is how the situation with russian forces and objectives looks now. is this, after all, a diversion of the armed forces of ukraine from a counteroffensive in the southern direction? well, in my opinion, they are really trying to divert attention. the direction is bakhmut, where exactly our military is imposing the russians. when and in what size and on what scale will it explode? that is, maryinka is there. yes, where is the car? they are really trying to move. they are creating centers of tension right there, the ukrainian general staff will be forced to put out the flames in an emergency mode and transfer some reserve there. well, we see that the headquarters is not doing this, it continues to systematically just poke at this defense i

general who commanded the southern military districts of the troops of the russian federation, who actually commands the 58th army that restrained the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia direction, he was dismissed from his post , his call sign was spartak, he wrote down an address to the gladiators, that's how he is called their subordinates gladiator well, if he is spartak, then they are obviously gladiators and he said that he is waiting for a further appointment, but this means that the truth that general popov told the high command about the situation in the zaporozhye direction is obviously not liked in moscow, but we like what they don't like. we support the armed forces of ukraine at a great cost and let us be grateful for every meter of ukrainian land conquered , it is not just 268 votes in favor. i would like to remind you that the law on the legalization of medical cannabis back in june called for the support of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi however, according to the opinion of the people's deputy mykola knyazhytskyi's bill from the european solidarity of ukraine

story with a comment by general popov of the 58th army, which i don't know if prigozhin bit or if some additional stories may have happened. in the russianes the adoption of certain decisions . they spoke first. wars, everything. yes, it is , er, observers, experts evaluated the progress of the battles actions and what's new here corruption is not skillful management local assaults er slaughter of thousands of thousands war existing on senseless assaults fire bahmut why did we surrender to you, well not talking about the whole war but this specifically means not being able to introduce an operation this is what he and the other were talking about well it is clear that he spoke about this in his own way as if a-a from his level eh director dude wagner it is so neat well everything is such a sense also the same as here you can’t solve the problems of war with such methods the truth how and now, as always, closing in on the fact that this is not war it is not necessary at all to give us better weapons, but it is logical, stop corruption, improve governance, we will get there, you do not make it impossible to get out of this jam, this is the

the effectiveness of the struggle is regretted by these russian commanders who are responsible for the defense of the south, this is the 58th armyor popov, who left his post there, and bakhmut . where are the heads of russian units changing? from his interview with syny where he said that like in boxing we keep the opponent at arm's length we don't let them get close because close combat is the business so at long distances we we are effectively winning, said tarnavskyi, but we understand that while we are talking about long distances and about successes , they will be in the future, but now we have to break through these enemy minefields, which are now significantly slowing down the advance of our troops and which have influenced our tactics by the introduction of hostilities, in particular due to what we have now come to, first of all, is that, first of all, sapper units now determine the pace of the advance of our troops, and artillery determines the extent of the destruction of the enemy, and this precisely creates the prerequisites for further qualitative changes on the field battle, and then we will talk about bakhmut, whe

the occupiers themselves spoke about it, ivan popov, the commander of the 58th army, was removed from his post actions of the russiano emphasized the fact of numerous casualties among the personnel in the zaporizhzhia direction of kherson and, accordingly, the prerequisites for a possible gesture of goodwill from the occupied territories of kherson region, look at me then such a question, uh, you mentioned the city of antoniv, the bridgehead there was small, now, as i understand from your words, it is expanding and it continues to exist , and then i visited there very often in those regions . that is, if this bridgehead will be expanded and if really successful offensive actions are taken in the area of ​​oleshki in the head of prystan , then this means that the next stop is actually armyansk, it's just 10% there. absolutely correct, mykola, let's knock out the distance to skadovsk in those cities. well, about 60 km, that's right, the maximum, yes, 54, yes, the ukrainian aimer , does the ukrainian aimer strike at 75 km, there is even more possibility, that is, we have under fire control not only the occupied territo

with a comment by general popov of the 58th army, who i don't know if prigozhin bit him or if some other additional story took place, it is possible that in the russianf said and what prigozhin said about, that is, a complete degeneration of the management chain, which completely paralyzes the adoption of certain decisions. well, i i am convinced that at first they say everything as it is, in fact, what we said first wars, that's all, yes, observers, experts evaluated the course of hostilities, and what's new here, corruption, not skillful management, local assaults with 1,000 warlords, senseless assaults, bakhmut, why did we surrender to you, not talking about the whole war, but specifically, it means not knowing how to launch an operation, he and the other talked about it . you cannot solve the problem of war with such methods the truth is, as it is now, as always, we don’t need a conclusion that it’s not a war at all. and the fact that you give us better weapons, logically, stop corruption, improve governance, we’ll get nowhere like this, you don’t make it impossible to get out of this jam, this is the trap in which the position of the same milita

russian campaign in ukraine. clare sebastian is live for us in london. clare, good morning. what more are we learning about the dismissal? >> reporter: good morning. this commander of the 58th army, so one of the top generals in charge of russian efforts in zaporizhzhia, he according to an audio message that was published on the telegram channel of the russian lawmaker has been making sort of raising questions about what he says is the lack of support for troops on the front lines. take a listen to part of that audio message. >> translator: i had no right to lie. therefore i outlined all the problematic issues that exist today in the army in terms of combat work and support. i called a spade a spade. i drew attention to the most important tragedy of modern warfare, this is the lack of counter battery combat, absence ofrecognizance oig stations. >> reporter: pretty jarring to hear. we know russia has tried to cover the scale of their losses in this war. and he says according to the audio message that this was seen by the senior commanders as a threat and they dismissed him, an action that he describes as treacherously decapitating the army at the most difficult and tense moment o

high-ranking officers who allowed themselves to criticize the russian military leadership were removed, even the entire commander of the 58th combined arms armye general was nicknamed spartacus, as he himself admitted everything was called his viche by his names shot attention to the most important modern tradition the war is a real battery battle, the lack of intelligence and mass destruction of our brothers and sisters from the enemy's artillery, apparently the senior commanders sensed something wrong with me, they got rid of another high-ranking general, the commander of the 106th guards airborne division, volodymyr seleverstov, also supposedly the cover of gerasimov and shoigu . the same army that was the main army of the russian military reforms, other spheres, etc. that is, these are all people . i would not say that the concept of officer remained in the russian army at all

general popov of the 58th army, which i don’t know if prigozhin was bitten by or if some additional stories may have happened. it is possible that what is happening in the russiand what prigozhin said, that is, a complete degeneration of the management chain that completely paralyzes the adoption of certain decisions . all yes, these are observers experts evaluated the course of hostilities. and what is there, but he is not a skilled leader, local assaults with 1,000 war, there are senseless assaults, bahmut, why did we surrender to you, not to mention the whole war, but specifically, it means that she did not know how to launch an operation, he and the other were talking about it. well, it is clear that he talked about this in his own way, as if a-a from his level, the director of the man wagner, it is so neat, well, the sense is that he will not solve the problems of the war with such methods it's true how and now we are as always closure on the fact that war is not needed at all and on the fact that you give us better weapons, but it is logical, stop corruption, improve management, we will get there, you do not allow us to get out of this jam, this is a trap

. who was fired by the commanding commander of the 58th army for criticizing and actually saying that there were not enough shells, that the russianser-battery fighting, and so on . now there are other purges that are taking place and their consequences. of the coup, this is the most important thing. that is, these are the people who are really in whom something can begin to change, and it will change because they make public appeals. to unite and create some i don't know there and any organization of the union, some officers there, someone else who will openly speak out against putin and perhaps consolidate around himself disaffected military mobilized and others who will make a successful march to moscow or not. is it simple will be used by the russian military leadership to consolidate its power . this seems to me the most interesting thing to watch because it has a direct connection with what is happening in the heads and is happening as a consequence on the battlefield, i mean the demoralization of the russian troops or the lack of this demoralization at the appropriate level. that's where it seems to me, judging by the fact t

russian efforts. now, he was the commander of the 58th army down in zaporizhzhia.t is arguably the most important front line area in the ukrainian counteroffensive, and he has now been relieved of his position, he says, and bitterly critical of the kremlin and the leadership under the kremlin of the russian armed forces. this is the first time we've heard from a regular russian soldier, one reportedly extremely popular with his men breaking ranks. this is exactly what the ukrainians want to see, mutiny in the ranks of the russians will save a lot of ukrainian lives ultimately. >> a lot of destabilization there for the russians. sam kiley live for us, jim. >>> russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine of course central to the discussions during president biden's five-day trip to europe. he closed out that trip today with a visit to russia's neighbor and the newest member of the alliance, finland, and while in helsinki, biden sent a clear message to vladimir putin. >> putin's already lost the war. putin has a real problem. how does he move from here? what does he do from

58th army. i don't know if prigozhin bit him or if there were some additional stories. it is possible that what popov himself said and what prigozhin said about is happening literally in the russiancomplete degeneration of the management chain, which completely paralyzes the adoption of certain decisions . as it is actually what we were talking about first of all, the war was always observed by experts who evaluated the course of hostilities. and what is new here is corruption, not skillful management, local assaults with a spell, 1,000 wars exist , senseless assaults, says bakhmut, why did we surrender to you? well, not saying, but the whole war . the same that with such methods the problem of war is not you will decide the truth, as it is now , as always, there is no need for closure on the fact that it is not a war at all. and on the fact that you give us a better place, arm yourself, put a logical end to the corruption . the military administration and so on will end before the war it is completely meaningless, that is why they do not reach the political level of solving the problem, because at some point putin will simply remove what he is playing, well, you say, well, you a

dissents, perhaps purging even of the russian military that we know from reports has likely been happening in the wake of that rebellion. so this is the commander of the 58th army, he was in command of troops really on one of the most crucial areas of the frontline in zaporizhzhia, he put out an audio message we believe published by a russian mp, member of putin's party, himself with the military background, and in this, he really lays it on thick, lashes out even at ru. take a listen. >> translator: i had no right to lie. therefore, i outlined all the problematic issues that exist in the army in terms of combat work and support. i lled a spade a spade. i drew attention to the most imrtant tragedy of modern warfare. absence of artillery reconnaissance stations and mass deaths and injuries of our brothers from enemy artillery. >> pretty jarring to hear mass deaths from a russian commander. he says an order was presented to the minister of defense who signed it and he was relieved of his post. he essentially then accusing them of this being a sort of treasonness act of essentially sabotaging themselves by removing him at such a critical moment. but it is extraord

already calculations of the 58th army , once again opened the armored skin of german leopards with lancets. true, the british scoreboard and the tsar called the leopard russian said that he was hit by the ukrainians. one can only imagine. what a mess is now in the heads of european readers. here is the same leopard, a very interesting beautiful case, because there were some expectations from them and our kids also thought that it would be some kind of difficulty. much easier than not so scary, damn how they paint him, but here the leopard was hiding in the landings, it was clear that his hatches were open, obviously the crew was resting. drone operators are somewhere nearby. they did not wait for him and planted the lancet directly into the tower german tank. immediately, the eastern work on a padded leopard got stuck in a trench and received a load of three lancets at once, so that he would not even think of getting out. there was a real beating of ukrainian armored vehicles, 22 tanks and 10 infantry fighting vehicles in a few hours, the retreating motorized rifles were filming everything they had to leave on the battlefield. the leopard is standing. damn s

like an artificial rock a-a well, the russians themselves adjusted our fire very successfully and said that as a result of hitting the command post of the 58th army the commander of the south-south of their district, lieutenant general, well, this seems to be the third lieutenant general during the entire full-scale war , so to speak, in our asset, and i note the fact that he, this command post, was far from being in a dugout, far from not in some place equipped for this place, it was a hotel on the coast, which, accordingly, the occupiers seized a few months ago, and there was more than one arrival there, and what they are there and they rock that it was the storm shadow that destroyed it and destroyed other orcs after which the locals reported about the fact that for about three kamazes , they took out of there all the different things that were left from those occupiers and that general, so that it was well-hitting, well, hellishly well-hitting, very effective. our defense forces worked yesterday, but it wasn’t just cotton, we had even more, if you’re interested i'll tell you a little more. of course, it's interesting, but it's not interesting

of the 42nd division of the 58th army of the southern military district . today , our soldiers will be awarded state awards right in the combat zone, well , even the russianndists have a question: what happened that suddenly he himself putin began to tell that something is happening there and that it is necessary to immediately give them orders and medals right in the combat zone, because in his answer to this question, the supreme commander-in-chief emphasized the word mass heroism, and you do not need to be a military analyst to understand what that is for in order for there to be a need and conditions for the manifestation of mass heroism, it must be battles of the highest, as if intense, moreover , when it comes to the awarding of honorary titles to military units, this also in our tradition indicates that that they went through some, let's say, battles, the intensity of which was very high, considering that who does not remember the same 810th marine brigade of the black sea fleet, she went through the whole of mariupol for a minute. well, in this mariupol, she was very ashamed when she could to the full entourage to knock out the azov people and, we

, the commander of the 58th occupation army, which opposes the armed forces of ukraine in the south of ukraine, during a meeting with the chief of the general staff of the russian federation gerasimov, allowed himself to complain unheard of they say that the russians are doing very badly there, what did gerasimo do in response, he suspended popov's panicking, but the ex-commander did not calm down, recorded an audio address to his officers, slandered the truth by accusing the leadership of the ministry of defense of treason, the recording got into social networks, causing an incredible scandal , why are we paying attention to it well, first of all the tactics of the armed forces of ukraine are working, the russian general admitted huge losses among the occupiers and the fact that the russian defense in the south is not so monolithic, so the second political consequences can fall, the critic popov testifies about the presence of a front among the top commanders of the russian army, and this was confirmed by the removal in the middle of the week of another general, the commander of the 106th airborne division , volodymyr silversky, he also began to complain about

command of the 58th army, now this is a representative of the forgotten what squirrels is this about the artillery under staro majorsky it is not our artillery that destroys the russianhey do not have the strength to maintain the situation under the bahmut, where the russians write that our units are not ready to carry out defensive actions there because they were stuffed as a few nearby there, they can't advance, i can't sneak in, our artillery simply destroys them, these reviews of the general state of the russian army, they can actually be extrapolated to those units that will suddenly be there to defend these lines of defense near the dragon's teeth, so just this area there, near the willow robot, will be like this the first test of the option is whether to really pay attention to the dragon at all , what can actually be done from the point of view of the advancement of the ukrainian army p. serhiy , the institute for the study of war notes that the kremlin changed a bit the policy of how to cover the ukrainian counteroffensive, it used to be dan's team, eh, don't downplay the successes , but now they are telling how they are simply destroying the personnel with

58th army. well, such a smokestack actually accuses the minister of defense shoigu of treason. after that, he was fired, not to mention the fact that only a dozen other leaders of this whole russianervention are unknown. where is he now? well, they say that they are all suspended, and possibly in a pre-trial detention center. well, the process, as gorbachev once said, the process has already begun. of course, the general, and we will try, does not like the logic of the russians . it is the same in the occupied territory, and there where they do it regularly, that is, they slipped into the tactics of the red army infantry there, a model of the combat statutes of the 40s and the beginning of the 50s, and thus the generals are dissatisfied with this, because who can be satisfied with the fact that they have to fight, sorry, just like butchers, that's why they are dissatisfied with this, all the military of russia are dissatisfied because they see that they are simply consumables for the maintenance of putin's power, and if the soldiers there at some level may not understand this, then the general officer the composition certainly understands that the war is a senseless tupikov war a

58th guards army sacked for alarmism . all this plays into the fact that the russians are eating themselves from within.ctive . ukrainian perspective. >> and of course what russia wants to portray is that it's an act of desperation by ukraine because they're suffering various setbacks . various setbacks. >> yeah, and of course, that's the problem for putin, because he keeps on saying that they're winning and destroying the ukrainians . and it certainly ukrainians. and it certainly looks to me that momentum or looks to me that the momentum or the momentum is not necessarily just forward but it is just forward movement, but it is increased pressure. looks like it's with the ukrainians at the moment. can't measure these moment. you can't measure these things territory things by necessarily territory captured, but it looks like sort of eroding stalemate . it is of eroding stalemate. it is actually in favour of ukraine at the moment. >> and last quick thought, what should we be thinking about the wagner sort of escapade , if you wagner sort of escapade, if you like, in belarus and heading towards the polish
