Transcripts For ESPRESO 20240703

The war between. Russia, but simply freeze the front line that already exists and promise russia that ukraine will never be in nato, that you, as a person, are currently fighting on that line front, what can you say about this idea, the candidate for the presidency of the United States, to simply give donbas to russia, if i say everything, everything , i think, an International Scandal may arise, so i will say that any freezing of the conflict, unfortunately, will not lead to no. Until the end of the war for the russian empire, this will only give the enemy an opportunity to regroup, accumulate power and complete their intention to destroy ukrainian statehood and destroy the ukrainian nation. It is also important to understand the unification of europe and at the same time the United States states of america that the russian empire will not stop at ukraine, but other countries of the european union, which at one time were so historically composed that they were part of the soviet union, will pour in. That is why now. The historic moment has come when the united europe, the United States of america must do whatever is necessary, depending on themselves, in terms of both humanitarian aid and Financial Aid and International Military aid, so that in defense and in ukraine as a whole there was something to fight for and defeat the enemy on the battlefield, because only we can surrender it on the battlefield, or provide such conditions under which the state order in the Russian Federation itself will change and this will further lead to the complete deoccupation of our territories, only the complete deoccupation of the territories of ukraine will make it possible to ensure permanent peace, so that the future generation, our children and grandchildren did not know what war is, in all other cases, unfortunately, it will continue. Mr. Yuri, what news do you have from the position where you are now, the situation is very, very tense. The direction we are in is bakhmuts, it remains a priority for the enemy, that is why the enemy attracts all kinds of combined manpower, collects reserves , starting from mobilized private military companies, stormz and many other power formations that the enemy uses as expendable material, they do not count their military, and if we say about the categories they were announced, they are on the front line, there are frontline servicemen in trench coats, behind them are cadillac soldiers who perform the tasks of blocking units, and in case of maneuver, or older groups, or the entire group is demonstratively eliminated, whichever is more appropriate. The enemy also uses trained contract troops, paratroopers and many, many, many other formations. As for weapons, well, at this point, the enemy uses objectively everything they have in their arsenal, with the exception of nuclear weapons, he already said that, despite the furious resistance of the enemy, despite the fact that they are given a clear, clear task to stop offensive actions of the Defense Forces and regain lost positions, the Defense Forces hold every occupied height, every occupied bridgehead in every position, and offensive actions continue in narrow areas, on the outskirts of bakhmut, the enemy is knocked out from every meter of our land, from every plantation, for one plantation the battles can last a week and a half, but nevertheless, there is progress, sometimes it is 10 m, sometimes it is 50, sometimes it is possible to make a powerful hand and secure even 100 m. Therefore, step by step, the Defense Forces keep the initiative and knock out the enemy. Concerning in general, the Defense Forces and the number of means , on which i would like to emphasize, this is a profile story, the means of the bpa, the enemy, unfortunately, there are more and more of them, like those that are manufactured centrally. They are in service, its a type of reconnaissance eagle, as well as a lancetcoup , they come out with modifications, and the enemy tries to use them en masse, the defense force, of course, against. At the expense of radio electronic intelligence, radio electronic warfare, antiaircraft defense, small arms , we mask positions in a certain way we are moving the warehouse, but there are really many enemies of these means, just like civilian copters, such as the dji mavic 3 , digi mavic 3t, and semidrones, it is very important that the Defense Forces maintain the balance that would help ensure parity with the enemy, because the more reconnaissance means we have, the better we can see the enemy, the more shock means, in particular , air raids, night boomers, the better we can make an impression on him, including due to the combined effect of fire, these are our means drum bopla, plus artillery means, and thanks to the ukrainian nation, which supports the Defense Forces as much as possible, this parity still manages to be ensured, and the dynamics of the conduct of hostilities , including at the expense of shock means, is , in my opinion, at the moment the initiative is on the side of the Defense Forces, for a month. A month, in particular, our unit managed to hit 110 enemy targets, of which 39 were irreversibly destroyed, the rest are not operational, need repair, something was taken away by the enemy for repair, something is Still Standing in the field, waiting for its time, as long as to finish off, that is why the war continues, and you too, i understand that literally in a month, there is already a report again, actually from e, from anti attack air Defense Systems, no, its not correct, i dont call it that, unmanned attack aircraft complexes tahilles, and if you can tell a little mr. Yuriy about the successes of your unit for a month of work, for the past month i previously said that 110 targets were hit, of which 39 were destroyed, and what category you can see, one of i think such an interesting moment it was destruction, antiaircraft missile installation, jet of fire, suntsepok, and also the buk air Defense System, the buk air Defense System is a means of antiaircraft defense of the enemy, which hinders our vepla vehicles from performing reconnaissance and impression tasks , well, as you can see below, these are tanks, and guns, selfpropelled artillery installations, bmp , armored personnel carriers, military vehicles and , accordingly, enemy positions, so this whole range of targets. The unit impresses every day, since the beginning of october we already have 11 destroyed enemy units on our account, and they will also ask what president zelensky publicly promised that the Ukrainian Army will take bahmud will take it by the end of the year, or does this create some kind of psychological pressure on you, on your brothers, what does this mean in principle . I think that we are talking about Something Else here, there is a stake meeting, which includes a certain category of representatives of the village bloc , who have all the information about intelligence, the state of the enemys position, their capabilities, reserves and plans, evaluating, information about the enemy and evaluating the potential that we have in the direction, i think that it is possible to make a forecast and in the dynamics, if we keep the momentum, which is really until the end of the year the city of bakhmut may be surrounded as a result. The supply artery is cut, along which manpower, equipment, provisions, ammunition are brought to the city of bakhmut itself, and in this way the deoccupation can take place, but i will tell you this that our task, as a military, is to make sure that the enemy is knocked out of our land as much as possible, how it will be in time, only life will tell, but thank you very much for this conversation and for your work, mr. Yuriy, yuriy fedor fedorenko, commander of the shock security company. Complex of 92 separate assault brigades and menikoshovo otaman ivan sirka was with us. Friends, thats it, there will be a short break for now. A small pause, by the way, the ukrainian media are already reporting that shuigu, in the shoigu, yes, in the shoigu, was informed about the landing of the Landing Force of the armed forces of ukraine in crimea and the attack of more than 30 unmanned aerial vehicles. Here, well. And when, when, we may have more information about this, of course, that the russians will tell us that nothing happened, but we will wait for information from the ukrainians , apparently, that there are some such things, but they reach we are with a big lag late, you know, but recently there was a story about one of the special forces, how he was saved from how he fell after being fired upon by a boat, and then he swam, and then he swam, and even then you understand that he swims like that. And its so dangerous, they can be fired upon by planes over there, well, those are the things, dear friends, lets take a short break, then well come back and analyze the situation at the front together with serhiy zgurets.

Well, serhii zurets, military expert, director of the defense express company is already with us. Mr. Serhiy, we congratulate you. Good morning, i greet you. Mr. Serhiy, i read yesterday from a person who is not connected with journalism, but well, that is, relatively speaking, one of our viewers, er, yes, who is sitting near the screen and says i have such a strange feeling that journalists have started focus on the bad news, some wrote that the us postpones Financial Support in ukraine, others wrote that it is difficult for them to support us, it is implied from the west that slovakia will not give a single bullet, that the military, not the military, and britain declared that it had already given ukraine everything it could, that its a matter of journalists, mr. Serhiy, that they concentrate so much, or is it a matter of the news that journalists write about and what our partners say, well, if we are talking about foreign aid, about the situation that is developing now, then really there are topics that look so disturbing for our viewers and it looks alarming to the experts when we are talking primarily about american aid that these political debates in the United States are affecting the pace of supply, this is if you take such shortterm periods, but we understand that when we are talking about the United States, in any then we will be sure that the military aid will continue, because now we have a reserve there of about 5. 4 billion dollars, which will allow us at least for three months to receive the military aid that we need, we hope that in three months in the United States all these internal battles will somehow calm down and we will continue to have systemic support, so in principle i am not very worried about the help of the United States, there are also changes in the europeans, political elections in individual countries, they are really there, sometimes such harsh statements that can disturb us, but in any case we understand that the entire European Defense industry is finally starting to get on the military rails, they are starting to award contracts, expand production, and these are the same is a positive sign, because it means that we will have weapons, there will be a partnership with these countries, and even the arrival of many European Companies to ukraine to expand defenseindustrial cooperation, as well. Is a positive sign, and the third component is the situation on the front line, yes, we currently do not see excessive progress there, but we proceed from the fact that we are now using tactics of maximum exhaustion and destruction of the enemy, it is also not easy for us, but we we see that the enemy is pulling up the reserves he has for we hope that the potential of our artillery and our military will allow us to fulfill the tasks set by the military leadership, but in any case, even reaching the tok, which is the minimum goal for our military operation, will have an equally Significant Impact on the nature of the hostilities and the ability of the enemy to maintain the defense of the staircase corridor, so that any event takes place, has two sides there, can be evaluated differently, but in general we see the dynamics that the advance on the front is not slow, it does not mean that there are not relatively speaking systemic changes that affect the enemys ability to hold the defense. To what president zelenskyi announced a couple of weeks ago , that bahmud will be released by the end of the year, bahmud also has some strategic significance, zelskyi made this statement in a conversation abroad and on massmedia, and, as far as im concerned, bakhmuts question is all after all, rather not in his enthusiasm for the actual, but the role that he performs today for a long time, we know that a significant number of enemy force was destroyed, and now there are, well, yevlazh says about 10,000, the entire section from liman to avdiyivka about 50,000 personnel, and there actually is a process of restraining significant enemy forces, destroying enemy forces, which are just now demonstrating and further actions around bakhmut, in particular in the southern direction, so i think that the role of bakhmut. In the first place consists in keeping the enemy force and in destroying the enemy force, and this section of the front with such a mission can be left in the future under the condition that we have now found some optimal models countermeasures to the enemy, because yesterdays reports from the Russian Military commanders honestly pleased me, because it says about the superiority of our artillery, that we do not use fire, we simply destroy the enemy methodically, having a larger number of art kills and using them more effectively, if so practice will be preserved due to a sufficient amount of ammunition and a sufficient number of artillery barrels, then this approach from the point of view of the same bahmut is absolutely optimal. Russia has been testing its burevisnik super missile since the 14th, it is interesting the fact that it is on a nuclear engine, the americans jokingly call it chernobyl when flying, because the previous 13 attempts were unsuccessful, each time it ended with air pollution and the places of the city, those rockets went off, but margarita simonyan, a famous russian propagandist, decided to leave further, she called for a nuclear bomb to be detonated over siberia altogether. In order to frighten the whole world, mr. Sergey, what do you think about it, there is somehow a real one, she said that it would allow to deenergize all the satellites, in particular elon musk, we can in in principle, listen to this woman, we are not at war with ukraine, no matter what, we defeated ukraine in the first 34 days, i have already gotten used to the fact that my house in the suburbs of moscow periodically flies. Drones fall, sometimes on the next street, sometimes behind the fence, not once, not twice, not three times, and now the drone crashed right in front of our ancestral home, in adler, where my mother grew up, where i myself grew up, spent all my vacations, all my weekends, where my whole family now lives relatives, already elderly people, but together with their children and grandchildren, very young kids, a drone fell right in front of you, imagine a ukrainian strike drone, in adler, their targets are getting further, simply geographically, the stakes are getting higher, and thus, from our side , a nuclear ultimatum is becoming increasingly inevitable. If you think adler, then absolutely yes, not so far, she says as if we do not know, to the edge of another russia . The lighthouse leaves the house and goes to buy milk and bread and stumbles upon some ukrainian drone, well, its just generally terrible whats happening in russia, well in fact, when we talk about Nuclear Issues, there is such a systemic pattern , as soon as something goes wrong with the russians on the front line, the Nuclear Issue immediately begins in one dimension or another, starting with nuclear plants, blowing up plants, there are Nuclear Munitions in belarus and now this storm petrel is just as much a sign of the fact that there is now another such internal, as i understand, the anxiety of the Russian Military and Political Leadership connected with the situation on the front line, because we see that in fact all the reserves roll over to the south, the newly formed armies rush there, and then in fact there they grind, and then in fact the enemy now has an important factor of pressure on european partners, it is precisely our partners and the americans speculating on the nuclear topic, indeed the topic of this nuclear tree, it is such resonant, because it is, relatively speaking, the first rocket that has a nuclear engine, which provides, relatively speaking, it should theoretically provide the ability to fly around the planet several times, and thus nullifying the capabilities of any system there, anti missile. Defense, but one nuance, this missile just does not fly, yes, that is, all these previous attempts, as we saw, start, it seems, from the 18th year, when the first time there putin showed it in cartoons, this missile, it caused such a sensational resonance among the military and experts , but then we saw other emergencies like the one at the training ground, where they tried to launch this missile, so in any case, i think that i would like to to see what will happen next with this one development, i hope that the further fate of this missile will be the same as its previous tests, and uh, russia will get its own yes, chernobyl or hiroshima from this missile, but in the political plan, the topic of nuclear weapons, you see, in the near future for two weeks will be actively raised by russian propaganda both in russia itself and outside the country. That is, in principle, it is good news when the russians Start Talking about nuclear weapons, it means that something is going wrong, and actually, the state institute for the study of war says that that operational capabilities in russia are decreasing under the walnut tree. Ukrainian advancement, here, well, there are some, well, today we talked in berdyansk, they are digging there, trenches on the shore of the sea of ​​azov, they have already dug on the shore of the black sea, now they have crossed over to azov, well, the russians really know how to dig in, they know how to do it properly in one format or another, and when we talk about the situation in the south, there was a statement from the commander last night. Oleksandr ternavskyi said that there is a certain advance in the tavrian direction, he did not elaborate, but in any case, we know that there is an expansion of the bridgehead, right near novoprokopivka, due to the fact that our military there destroys the enemy and in difficult conditions still displaces the enemy from his positions, but we understand that this is the whole wedge, it is 10, somewhere 1012 km in width, if we measure there, starting from kupany to novofedorivka, and now we need to expand this patzdarom in order to minimize losses or threats to the flanks enemy attacks, and now actually those airborne divisions which performed the functions of these threats on the flanks, now to be honest, if we can see from the statistics, they actually suffered losses and even individual regiments. These divisions were thrown into the central part of this advance of ours to restrain our armed forces, so i think that the situation in this area looks quite predictable, i repeat, with a further sufficient amount of artillery and ammunition, which now perform the main function in covering and advancing our units in these areas. Well, i will also ask at the end, after all, again about this, about this publication. Ben volos, already a former minister of defense, who wrote for the daily telegram that ukraine needs to revise approaches to mobilization, increase mobilization and recruit more young people, as he noted that the average age of a ukrainian soldier in the armed forces is now forces of ukraine for more than 40 years, and this contrasts with what the Russian Federation allows itself , what do you mean, i think that the age indicator of a conscript is like this, i think. It is not the first parameter that determines the effectiveness of mobilization and creation those or other units, which then have to reinforce our brigades on the battlefield, we understand that here the question is rather the training of the units, the equipment of these units, the skills of the commanders at different stages, and when we see that the combat capability of the units is exchanged, measured there by nine different criteria, relatively speaking, if we single out one criterion, there is time, whether the age of the conscript or the mobilized is 25 years or 40, we will see that it reflects only a small percentage of the influence on the real effectiveness of the unit, i think that with it is still important that our mobilization systems take into account the skills of those people who are 40 plus, or put them in those areas where their previous life skills. Have, would have the maximum effect to increase the effectiveness of the unit as a whole. Mr. Serhiy, thank you for the conversation, serhiy zuvrets, a military expert, director of defense express was with us. We will return to the air at 10 10, followed by our colleagues from radio svoboda, Svoboda Ranok will be on espresso, and we remind you that at 9 00 a. M. Traditionally all of ukraine, all ukrainians, wherever life throws them, they remember the moments of silence of all those whose lives were cut short. Russian aggression, so lets honor their memory with a moment of silence. Lets honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in
