victor, i would like to ask about the findings of your center, the center for defense strategies. just a couple of days ago i was reading yours. analysis where you talked about, well, your center talked about the fact that the russian armed forces committed more than 75% of all available forces to a combat operation, while the ukrainian armed forces or defense forces only committed 33% of their reserves. explain what that means, because de facto it is says that we have a stock of reserves or capacity, but the enemy succeeds in everything, relatively speaking, well, this one is creeping on the offensive in many directions, why so... the number of enemies operating in ukraine is around 600 thousand personnel, 75% of the grouping in the southwestern theater of operations, which the armed forces of the russian federation are already in one way or another engaged in hostilities, that is, the enemy has extremely limited reserves. with the operational reserves a huge problem, in favor of this, says the transfer of the 155th brigade of marines from ugledar in the direction of kharkiv, i.e.

thank you, oleksandr khara, an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies was in touch with us. thank you for finding time for us. so, nearly 50 leaders came together to discuss the war in ukraine and illegal migration in europe at the summit of the european political community. and closing the summit, british prime minister keir starmer said that britain would support. there is as much ukraine as needed, and there are no changes in the country's position. during his speech, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy called on countries to grant permission to strike deep into russia with western weapons, but there were no statements about this today. so subscribe to our pages on social networks, in order not to miss the most important news, we are on facebook, instagram, tiktok, on youtube you can watch our episode if you missed it live. so that's it for today, more stories and. look for the analysis on our website bbc.ua, and we will be on the air again tomorrow at 251, take care! i will tell you honestly, our viewers, that we will have time to answer all the

understand that the situation now looks like this, and today there were assessments of the center for defense strategies is... an analysis of reserves, so they came to the conclusion that, relatively speaking, the enemy has now used a total of about 75% of its main forces and means for conducting hostilities, the ukrainian side, according to their estimates, has used within 35 %, that is, in fact , the process of accumulating reserves is now taking place, and this certainly reflects the current situation on the front line and the opportunity. the accumulation of a force of means to carry out effective defensive operations and offensive operations, although i think that the question of offensive or counteroffensive is a question of next year rather than this year's period. well, in order to close this discussion, which is at the strategic and tactical levels, you have now explained to us in two, as they say, philosophies, in this case, do we not have enough to staff the newly created brigades in them by... sitting on the board and humvees, give them enough means of shooting and manpads and everything els

defense forces of ukraine now use up to 30%, while the ukrainian side. as experts of the center for defense strategiesmphasize, it has retained reserves, including those currently trained in countries in the european union, while the enemy has virtually no reserves. perhaps this is too optimistic a conclusion, perhaps it is realistic, but only practice will be the criterion for the truth of these and other estimates. and we also know that success on the battlefield depends on the level of mastery of technology, and on fast bones of adaptation to changes on the battlefield, and further we will talk about technological changes in the armed forces, we know that the armed forces of ukraine already have separate companies of ground unmanned systems that perform front-line tasks. these companies of unmanned ground systems carry out the functions of fire damage, demining, demining, kamikaze missions and so on, and we understand the great importance. has the industrial and creative potential of teams that create robotic platforms. in general, it is allowed to be used in the armed forces nine robotic platforms
