so they wanted to weaken the syrian army, force the syrian army to come to america to negotiate, and y thought they could get rid of assad that way. the army would turn on assad like the egyptian army had, they would get rid of him, then they would build up the army to kill the jihadists in the northeast. but in fact, there plan blew up in their hands. and they built -- they did not build it but it emerged with the weapons that were pouring in and then they had to go and destroy it. so this terrible plan which did not stand a chance of working, was partly the reason for why raqqa was so destroyed and why it has not grown back again because sanctions and other things are -- and the terrible assad government has been left in place, are all responsible for the devastation that has been brought on syria. >> let's look at that devastation. let's look at the problem before we discuss the solution. aymenn if i can go to you now, what is the current humanitarian situation like in northern syria as it stands? >> commenting specifically on the raqqa situation because i have actually been there

this, like those very provocations of the whole with chemical weapons, allegedly used by all the syrian armyng is to fix the application. what was it? let's figure it out obviously it's being done. emphasis. and of course, the ukrainian side has every opportunity to do this. i have no doubt that most likely they already have all this. eh, another question. well see for yourself. they also have the kiev institute for nuclear research. they have yellow waters, where the corresponding plant is. they have, uh, the southern design bureau that develops rockets. e, the yushman plant, which was engaged, respectively, in this topic during the soviet union, they have this whole line here eat. uh, what they don't have, they don't have an excuse from washington i'm obviously mr. wallace mr. austin flew in a panic, uh, consulting just on this issue. they cannot answer us, although our minister of defense digested everything and put them in front of them. and so to speak, showed the facts these facts, which they deny, obviously became the reason that they, as among them, began and there is a danger. you s

zone, and so far they have entrenched themselves there, but in fact, the syrians were retaking syria in alliance with the russian armyely under the leadership of general surovikin. this man is the general of victory. he was really ruthless towards the terrorists. and how is he completely uncompromising? and, of course, high patrons. these slavs could not forgive them for this, because i think that this is a nazi. might as well be ruthless, but here's dimitri uh you said that the ukrainian agenda has not yet been decided. yes, with how to actually file our general, but i just want to say that it seems to me that in any case, any of these, uh, meanings that are laid down. yes, they exclusively lead to giving even more weapons. i mean, look at the power. we will now be opposed to us. it is necessary to save without fail. now weapons and money. right. i understood everything here. everything that media does from ukraine or from the west is directly removed from the language - this is the marketing of military supplies and funding there is no other motive there , the europeans are reading these big words armageddon, uh, a

the butcher came there, the next one told us all the syrian cities, that is, well, we just have to understand that the entire generals of the russian armyll of them, in one way or another , were in charge of the eyes and directions in syria during the last years of each of the russian generals can be called homely, they all have only one strategy in their heads, they have no logic other than the attempt to destroy the cities, i.e. what they did in mariupol, what they are trying to do in mykolaiv and zaporizhzhia now is what they they tried to do in severodonetsk, the only strategy they have is to overwhelm the weapons of the city with projectiles of the city as much as possible, try to destroy this city as much as possible, see the enemy with an incredible number of victims on their side and a large number of weapons and move on for such small relatively in small cities like oleg or even mariupol, in principle, this tactic could work, but we also see how long and how difficult it is for them to succeed in all of ukraine. this is an incredibly difficult task - it is almost realistic, that is, there is not a large number of high-precision

army is brilliant. cope with the tasks of the syrian company. mpact army leading limited combat operations. what are we facing? now? this, of course, is a completely different military action. well, you just have to understand it. partial mobilization showed again. legislative aspect of this problem, because many have perceived that partial mobilization mobilizations are synonyms. and they tried to apply the law on mobilization, which, politely speaking, contradicted the instructions given by the supreme commander-in-chief and deciphered by the minister of defense, so the supreme commander-in-chief had to convene again, maybe it makes sense to our respected friends, the legislators, to develop a separate regulatory document on partial mobilization in order to there were no such disagreements on such issues. there was also a question about what we have in stock. the question arose of how our military-industrial complex should work, yes, that is, we have no complaints about it. the question arises. how else can you help him? because we are dealing,

syrian commander-in-chief. of course, this is what we gave the russians the opportunity to show that they can retreat, that they can retreat, and the russian armyidered itself great, considered itself great, cannot retreat, began to retreat , and this retreat here in the kherson region. i think it was er, it was started there in kharkiv oblast because, well, before that there were fierce battles, we fought for every centimeter of the bridgehead, which was here on the left bank of the ingul river, they were very serious. that is why the offensive in kharkiv oblast played its role in kherson oblast and in general and as a whole at the all-ukrainian level in the war against russia and after my condition of business trip to the united states. i think it will go down in history at the world level as well. if listen to russian propagandists, now they are scolding their army, what is the world standing on, and all the time they ask how, why do you? why do you make such mistakes ? to advance and not to retreat, we have to keep this in mind because the enemy is now redeploying, but according to those data, again, according to the interrogation of the pr

our heroes who are breaking the army, which until recently was considered not the second in the world in terms of power, here the presenters will say that alexander the syrianhe two most important military minds in ukraine who provided the state with impressive success in displacing and destroying the russian troops. when the russian troops were advancing on kyiv, at the end of february, the syrian led the defense, which destroyed putin's initial goal of quickly capturing our capital and its efforts. by the way, oleksandr asylska was awarded the title of hero of ukraine, then in september he led the counteroffensive of ukrainian troops in the north of ukraine on his native for the general of the kharkiv region, russian soviet advice is shown here, in fact, there is one nuance that syrian actually trained in soviet military institutions, but this experience allows you to predict what the enemy does on the battlefield, but he, like most military leaders the leadership of ukraine is focused precisely on the approaches of nato, which allow more flexible conduct of e-e combat operations. and in fact , now the main goal of all operations conducted by ukraine is t

syrian democratic forces? >> one of these striking features we do have one partner with multiple partners. in iraq it was the iraqi security forces. was iraqi armyederal police. and those made up with political entities. and with that partner force for syria that's were isis had the capital. one thing that was striking to me in the course of this research is how early how did this alliance began a what happened and then colonel chris donahue and famed for the three-star commander. and then in northern iraq whose presence was not acknowledged by the us government and he had and meetingie brokered by the kurdish authorities. who were not on good terms but that's a separate w story. and then those that were representing the militia. and then coming up with the concept that could stop volunteers to join that isis caliphate coming down andnd then stopped them in iraq and syria and it is a basic understanding between donahue and not yet approved. and earlier in the day and then to strike is on deal with the syrian kurdsds but they went with the americans and it took some time before the relationship gained traction with the absence of other solutions.
