professor thomas read is the founding director of the alpert of ich institute for cybersecurity studies at johns hopkins university school of advanced international studies professor. it's good to have you on the program. how serious is this leak for the u. s. government? this leak is no doubt, very serious. there's no reason right now despite of what some eyes are saying to believe that there is that this is fake of something in any way. let's put this into context. the leak emergent emerged for the 1st time on ice. pretty obscure, sub channel and disc on discord and social media platform. and unfortunately, the number of files that was initially posted on that sub channel were reportedly in the hundreds and hundreds below 1000. so the approximately 50 files that many media organizations have are only a small part of the initial which you refer to. discord is being an obscure platform. but how obscure is it? i mean, one of my producers was saying that his children use discord to communicate with their gaming bodies around the world. i mean, everyone knows about discord and it would that being the case? how is it possible then that

not visible now in the thermal imager for the last day well, but the institute for the study of war writes that the enemy is advancingtowards the center of bakhmut, the battles are fierce and the leadership of the russian federation is looking for alternatives to mr. taras wagner's group. i would like to start our a conversation about one question to you, after all, like to flights eh to a political scientist to a political technologist briefly literally before we come to our declared topic about the brand bearer pavel and bending from the lavra i would like you to say two words told about the expectations from this commission of ukraine nato, which started with a welcome speech, the responsible question of the journalists is the secretary general of nato and gensel from toltonberg, what can be expected from ukraine at 1:30 p.m. don't miss out on our dear tv viewers, but i would like to hear a few words about the expectations for ukraine from this commission, ukraine, nato, please , uh, well, watch it, it's a protocol , a protocol, a protocol, a protocol event, by the way here, nato bypassed, in fact, the ban on the

enemy's pressure on the defenders does not stop bahmut, according to the institute for the study of war, the wagnerites advancedthe direction of chromiv, trying to cut the logistics lines of the armed forces, but the ukrainian forces still continue to use the roads under by fire control of the russians, enemy attacks in the area of ​​o, vasilivka, bogdanivka and near klyshivka were not successful on the avdiivka front line, donetsk, russian troops did not significantly advance north of avdiivka , the enemy's attempts to break through to the donetsk kramatorsk-slovyansk highway are unsuccessful in kherson oblast, on the eastern bank of the dnieper as they say in the southern command, a quiet counteroffensive, according to spokeswoman nataliya gumenyuk, ukrainian troops are hitting ammunition depots and areas where the enemy's equipment and manpower are concentrated, aviation forces over the past 24 hours, ukraine's defense forces have carried out 11 strikes on areas where the occupiers are concentrated, six enemy unmanned aerial vehicles have also been destroyed, and units of missile troops and artillery have hi

so, well, as you know, the euv institute for the study of war reports that the armed forces of ukraine are advancing the dachas on the left bank, that is, along the left bank of the dnieper, in the area of ​​the antoniv bridge and down from it. this is approximately a few kilometers of summer cottages are located in one or two rows, and also to the south along the road there is 97, which is a break on the destroyed antoniv bridge , that is, in the direction of the oleshkiv bridge, which, unfortunately, is still intact here in this let's say so to the news on the one hand, our troops are constantly being landed there, on the other hand, i see no reason to expect any steady progress or even consolidation, and on the other hand, they are once again bravura in refuting the balance that they control everything there, just as baseless because they cannot control it. it is only necessary to want the armed forces and interrupt their communications by rivers . to pay attention that such vessels were seen in kherson from the russian side. thank you very much, mr. volodymyr . thank you for your comments. volod

, you work for the institute of the study of war, a byword for incredibly accurate and detailed maps, over the last year the map hasn't changed that much from a distance, the russian advancesd incremental so not really since kherson says the russian abandoned kherson have we seen much change. do you expect in the coming months and this year, the rest of this year the battle lines to change? i would say that we are entering the prime time for ukraine to regain the initiative and really take advantage of russian weaknesses. we have seen signalling on the part of ukraine military command that this may be in the south. there are also opportunities in other locations, in donbas, for example, and we do expect the battle lines to change because the russian offensive has largely culminated in multiple areas on the front which will allow ukraine the opportunity to exploit this culmination and pursue their own counteroffensive in a way that will fundamentally change the front line. so, this war could still go in different directions, including the ukraine victory, or a long drawn—out stalemate which would tend to work in russia's favour. there is an urgency here for ukraine, which i

estuary, analysts from the american institute for the study of war believe that in spite of constant assaults in the last few days, the enemy has not significantly advancedures that the enemy will not be able to get into the flank hits on our defenders in the lysichansk and donetsk directions , the situation is saturated and under the cover of enemy attacks there have become more frequent, the occupiers plan to reinforce the infantry with a tank brigade , but our command knows about these plans because artillery will not allow artillery to take the city of lashta, according to the information of the general staff, on the bakhmut avdiiv and mariinsky directions, the ukrainian army repulsed 36 attacks , in addition, our troops inflicted several strikes on areas by concentrating the enemy's personnel and military equipment destroyed the anti-aircraft missile complex and radar station of the occupiers a successful counterattack in the direction of bakhmut repulsed the positions of the russians their burned equipment and a captured prisoner this is about the work of our defenders on the front lines, in particular about the fighters of the 28th separate mechan

this direction, the institute for the study of war notes that as of february, the figure had already reached thirty thousand wounded and killed, so that in order to be able to advancere forced to ask for support from the regular russian army. in fact, there was a monopoly over losses, it is already being strengthened by real brains. in other directions, these are regular troops, but they are also reinforced by mobilized forces, because if we remember, the invasion group was about 70,000, according to the estimates of many analysts, and today the general staff reports more than 172,000 destroyed the occupiers are bloody, because the storms have been going on for nine months, the president of ukraine is convinced that the loss of this city will have major negative political consequences for ukraine, since putin will start put pressure on the international community that the time for peace negotiations has come and will force them to put pressure on kyiv to make unacceptable compromises with the world, this will be a victory for him , he will sell this victory, he will sell it to his society, china , and a wound to other countries, if he feels blood, he will feel it t

and they're also waiting for advanced fight user concern fighters beyond what they have themselves. all needed in this counteroffensive. of we at the institute for the studywar, paul, have a little bit of a disagreement with the pentagon. we cobelieve that ukraine -- we cobelieve that ukraine does have a huge opportunity to retake some territory rather significantly given the weakness of the russianing military on the ground and their abject failure they've had in their own pensive just recently and the fact that ukraine has put together eight or nine brigades that they've been training with, organized and equipped, united states, poland and the united king come have all helped do that. so we're hopeful that that operation will get started sometime around the may/june time frame or possibly later. we don't know when and is we don't know what they're going to do the, but we certainly see a huge opportunity for them. paul: general, i think a lot of -- the average american when he looks at the news in this case sees a 21-year-old who was with the massachusetts air national guard, if these allegations are true. somehow having access to a pentagon computer net

analysts at the institute for the study of war approaching their guardianship in the white house, they believe that the next weeks of the war will be critical because russia will again try to advancedirections, as military observers say , everything is now taking into account future active actions on both sides they had their reserves in case of a ukrainian offensive for a possible transition to a counterattack , possibly for plugging holes in case of failure , that is, they definitely keep it in calculation, including from the point of view of reserves, which should give one or other answers to ukrainian moves, and this concerns the possible supply of ammunition, today there is a lot of information about the fact that the russian army faced a relative shortage of ammunition, i do not rule out even assuming that they are stockpiling ammunition precisely for this, let's call it the black day doesn't exactly include it, even i guess we'll call it the black day here, the situation is interesting for others , both sides are planning a series of attacks, but none of them incredibly knows the exact place where it is will happen, maybe we are waiting for a certain kind of waiting game un

run for office we cannot know anything in advance but as of now my predictions are as follows thank you arsen martyshchuk martyshchuk international expert co-founder of the institute of american studies was with us on a direct video link, eyewitnesses on social networks confirm that we will carefully monitor everything and report it to you live based on preliminary information. but only official confirmation will appear or i hope the promotion of this information, we will definitely inform you allies continue to form tank support for ukraine leopards challengers abrams, all of this is coming to us to help liberate the land from the occupiers, in addition, the partners are planning to create a service center for the same leopards in neighboring poland, this will significantly speed up the repair of western equipment, so what equipment entered the tank coalition further in the plot predator leopard is already in ukraine, a modernized soviet tank p -72 british challengers also appeared here in ukraine ukraine actively continues to receive modern western tanks, which is very important during the upcoming offensive , in general, the allies promised ukraine hundreds tanks as modern and so

russia continues to gain momentum in bakhmut the institute for the study of war released footage from april 9 and 10 showing that the russians have advancedbakhmut and to the south-west of the city continues, but battles are being fought not only for this city, but in other sectors of the front. massive battles are also taking place in the east, and both sides are still uncompromising in confronting each other. for an outside observer, including me, at first glance, everything looks as if nothing is happening, it’s not like that, we still have a hot spot that is exerting massive pressure on the ukrainian armed forces, the situation is almost critical. you are asking morally. be ready to various news from bakhmut, do not build pink castles for yourself and very interesting information comes from the british military intelligence, its representatives believe that in the foreseeable future russia will again begin to reinforce airborne units into battle. the uk department of defense adds that russian media reported the transfer of thermobaric multiple rocket launchers the transfer of these forces indicates their leading role in further offens
