lets move on to this military intelligence _ this military intelligence assessment that russia couldu have been there, is it credible?— there, is it credible? absolutely. if ou there, is it credible? absolutely. if you have _ there, is it credible? absolutely. if you have seen _ there, is it credible? absolutely. if you have seen some _ there, is it credible? absolutely. if you have seen some of - there, is it credible? absolutely. if you have seen some of the - there, is it credible? absolutely. - if you have seen some of the images coming out, for example, the satellite and their own images of the attempted russian crossing of the attempted russian crossing of the donetsk river a few days ago, it should not come as much of a surprise. there are between 70—80 vehicles destroyed, tanks, armoured personnel carriers and trucks completely wiped out by artillery fire. it sounds a lot, a third, and it really is was that i think it is extraordinary it is credible. they have lost a vast number of troops. with these things it is hard to know exactly the truth of the matter. of course at the

the head of the main directorate of military intelligence of ukraine talks about what is possible.utin does not have enough strength to fight in ukraine and that this mobilization can begin if this happens. does this mean that russia should officially declare war in ukraine, because until now they are at war in ukraine is called a special military operation, it is quite possible, i think that putin can declare war not only on us, but also on everyone else, unofficially , at least on the west, because all the representatives of the russian elite constantly say that they are actually fighting in ukraine against the west and, first of all, against the united states. that is why he can formulate it as some kind of russian campaign against nazism or some other nonsense that will be broadcast on russian television. i also think that russia will try to organize in the occupied territories the pseudo-fake referendum is about not just independence, but joining russia. on december 30 this year, it will be 100 years since the creation of the soviet union, and putin critically needs to show so

let's say, the reform of our intelligence service of the foreign intelligence service and the military intelligencevice of the security service of ukraine . very dangerous, there are uh, what questions they can just now during the war destroy and disrupt the work of our intelligence and that is why it is necessary to remove the draft law in general. i think we will talk about it at the committee today in particular, but i say once again that during the war there there are deputies who signed a lot of signatories. by the way, not a single deputy, well , except for the author, there is no member of the committee on the issue of defense security and intelligence and all the others. i think they simply did not read it or signed it, let them see what they signed and just ask their colleagues, if you do not understand national security and defense issues, then it is better to approach and ask if it is necessary or not necessary, or if it is necessary to do so during the war, for example, to destroy the foreign intelligence service, which has been destroyed there for many years, which has already been des

of nato intelligence shavings emphasizes that the pentagon is also officially talking about military intelligence in favor of kiev well, yes, there is no doubt that the united states provided intelligence to the ukrainian military from the experience of previous nato operations, we know that american intelligence plays a key role and the united states provide a large part of the intelligence specifically in this case is the pentagon official. he stated that washington provides kiev with real-time combat intelligence, nato satellite echelon, intelligence is associated with aviation, these are types of aircraft that collectively call powerful radars at high altitude of at least a dozen reconnaissance aircraft. e, constantly runs describing an oval, near the borders of nato from the baltic countries, from poland and the black sea region. this decisive ability of the apparatus makes it possible to single out not only the column, except for technology. well, even certain groups of people. uh. here, i would not underestimate such information, if it were not for the intervention and the reformation save

intelligence. we have seen many times when they threw their missiles at places where there were military facilities0-30 years ago, but now they are no longer there. that is, this shows unequivocally about the shortcomings of their intelligence. perhaps they are trying to eliminate and localize these shortcomings, but i am not sure that it is visible in them. you are one of my favorite military experts, in particular, you have now confirmed your exceptional qualifications. i will tell you how this manifested itself, because there are a lot of so-called military experts there , specialists from all the soldiers and so on, they start telling us about the russian game, there are no more grushanov participants in the parade, which was very well described by mr. administration of the general staff of the russian federation well, so to speak, you can call them differently there. well, this is not a game, this is the main administration here, mr. ivan very correctly pointed out that the operation will now be managed purely by the military, because the fsb, so to speak, version of the concept failed, or rat

uh, the swedish military intelligence, which at that time in the nineties was headed by generals ericsander. well, the well-known operation, when hanspeter northrem, a member of the swedish military intelligence , arrived in st. petersburg. the day was held a general meeting with an officer of the leningrad naval base and, uh, the swede received as a result of this reconnaissance combination, which was realized in the stockholm container. well, apparently three rubles, in which there were secret and photographic film materials with documents from the leningrad naval base. naturally, the operation was stopped by the fsb of russia by our counterintelligence then a very big scandal arose in sweden because sweden was forced for the first time at an official level at the level of parliament. there has been an investigation into a big scandal to admit that sweden is leading a reconnaissance against russia then was another episode of the recruitment of an officer of the reconnaissance department of the baltic fleet, captain of the third rand ganga velichko, was also carried out at the moment

a former turkish military intelligence chief as ankara is simply trying to protect its own national interests. doesn't believe before the conflict between russia and ukraine. nato was not even considering the membership of sweden and finland. this whole issue is being promoted by the united states and the u. k. they want western countries to stand united against russia. turkey has 2 good reasons to be against this. the 1st is that it will lead to a conflict between russia and the west. and the 2nd, sweden and finland are providing strong support to terrorist groups. sweden helps the curves financially, but there are also other countries in nato that also support terrorism against turkey and the united states is the 1st one to mention here. washington supports the kurds in their efforts to create a military stronghold and northern syria. therefore, in light of these significant security issues, turkey strongly opposes the entry of sweden and finland and to nato. if those countries continue to support terrorists, then why should turkey sit at the same table with them? being members of one secur

of nato intelligence shavings emphasizes that the pentagon is also officially talking about military intelligence in favor of kiev the states provide most of the intelligence in this particular case to the pentagon officials. he stated that washington provides kiev with combat intelligence in real time, satellite echelon of nato, intelligence associated with aviation, these are types of aircraft that are collectively called avaxes powerful radars at high altitude of at least a dozen reconnaissance aircraft. e, constantly runs describing an oval, near the borders of nato from the countries of the beam from poland and the black sea region. this decisive ability of the apparatus makes it possible to single out not only the column, but also the technique. well, even certain groups of people. uh, now, i would not underestimate such information, if it were not for intervention and information will be preserved, er, actually. our military specialists would no longer be able to fight in ukraine with anyone and no one. of course, they are aware of how all this is happening in kiev with the washington dash

military help, intelligence support, and what impact you think that ihaving the moment? bviously, western military, nato members who have been accelerating their supply of weapons to the ukrainian forces which has changed in terms of quality and quantity more and more weapons this started off after the invasion february 24 being a lot of small arms and ammunition. now nato understands this is a tougher fight than they anticipated. the ukrainian forces are performing better than anticipated. they are now providing more and more heavy weaponry. the antitank missiles that have pred so effective. ukraine continues to demand more aircraft, more antitank weapons, more tanks to continue the fight. it is not surprising that president putin has warned the west not to keep supplying this kind of heavy weaponry -- heavy weaponry. he has targeted the supply lines before. we are not getting all the details, it would be military intelligence, but certainly looking at what is happening in the battlefield, the resistance of the ukrainian forces, it is making the difference. the consisten
