On youtube, you and i will see each other in the results of the week already at 9 p. M. , well, in just a moment, meet Vitaly Portnikov and Khrystyna Yatskiv, who will continue the broadcast of the espresso channel. Greetings friends, the saturday Political Club is on the air, Khrystyna Yatskiv and Vitaly Portnikov, we will talk about the main events of this week and everything, that so troubles our minds and hearts. As always, we will start with the military, near military situation, with the russianukrainian war, with the main trends, and we are glad to welcome mykhailo samus, military expert, director of new geopolitic, to the studio. Deputy director for International Affairs of the Army Conversion and Disarmament Research center. Congratulations mr. Mykhailo, glory to ukraine. Mykhailo. So, lets start with these simulation exercises, a Nuclear Strike, from a Nuclear Strike, lets say immediately, in response, which was conducted here by the Russian Federation under the chairmanship vladimir putin, why is this necessary . In principle, what is the need for special Strategic Missile training , if in principle they should provide similar ones. For this they are created and work, well, it is absolutely true, these are Strategic Nuclear forces, this is one of the components of the triad, ground, air based and seabased, and of course this no longer applies to ukraine, but to the United States, to nato countries, which during the cold war were in parity with the soviet union, then with russia, just in Strategic Nuclear forces, and it is obvious that these exercises are one of the components of nuclear blackmail, since it is known, in any case, from the statements of the same russians and from various publications, that russia is also preparing to resume Nuclear Tests, which will be the next step of nuclear blackmail and a demonstration that russia is serious in its statements about the readiness to use Nuclear Weapons against ukraine and possibly against nato countries, if the United States does not agree, as they say, the russians take into account their vital interests in ukraine or europe. Well, not dangerous, by the way, you conduct Nuclear Tests. This can just show that the king is naked, the last Nuclear Tests on the territory of modern russia, even, i think that they were not conducted on the territory of modern russia at all, they were conducted by the soviet union in 1990, on which territory, was it the Russian Federation . Probably, well, as a rule, it was in kazakhstan, that is, it was a territory. Of the kazakh soviet socialist republic, i dont know if there are any of their own in russia now test sites, there may be, there is a test site on the new land, but it has never been used for this, as far as i understand, president putin ordered in february of this year to prepare it so that it could be used for such Nuclear Tests, but in response to a Nuclear Strike is linked, to the United StatesNuclear Tests, so again this game, with nuclear muscles, it continues. And it is obvious that, well, russia is trying to achieve its goals in this way, will such tests be carried out, i i think they can try, although, again, different information is coming in, and it seems that putin was told that according to the results of the Nuclear Weapons readiness assessment, only up to 20 of the warheads that are in Service Since the time of the soviet union are capable of use, and therefore. if the test of Nuclear Weapons is really carried out, it will be unsuccessful, then it can, on the contrary, lower putins position, lower russias position in the confrontation with the United States. Mr. Mykhailo, well, this week was extraordinary, how about an attack by unmanned aerial vehicles, khmelnytskyi and several Populated Areas were attacked, there was quite largescale destruction, but this time a characteristic feature is the damage to the administrative buildings of the khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power plant, and the ukrainian president quite clearly articulated after this attack that the russians are obviously raising stakes, want to demonstrate where. Thats what theyll be trying to aim for this winter, maybe . We previously stated that we would respond to attacks on the Energy Sector infrastructure will not be left unanswered. The russians use this very thesis and report on strange incidents at the kursk Nuclear Power plant. How do you see this story . It is absolutely true, this, the same steps to raise rates, just by nuclear blackmail, zaporizhzhia as is now a bit in the shadows, but i think that due to the fact that the conditions of the Russian Federation regarding rosatom were clearly set, if the atom is involved in the occupation of this station and such incidents that happened before will continue there, then narosat will be forced to impose sanctions, i remind you that sanctions have not yet been imposed on this russian organization, it continues to participate in international projects, including with our western partners, therefore russia. Is now acting in other ways, including including and demonstrating readiness to strike at ukrainian Nuclear Power plants, i do not think that they tried to strike precisely at objects that are involved in nuclear processes, perhaps the attempt was to strike at the distribution infrastructure, first of all to cause harm opportunities for the production and distribution of electricity already, start this process of its crisis, the Energy Crisis in ukraine, and on the other hand, really show that russia is ready to strike at Nuclear Plants in ukraine, if the west again does not agree to, blackmail, pressure russia will not give up its support for ukraine. Please tell me, mr. Mykhailo , in principle, how do you assess the situation near avdiivka now, to what extent can it be considered that this russian offensive has already stalled, or will the russians continue to try anyway. Him continue . No, judging by the forces that the russians have accumulated , that they have concentrated, there are indeed now several new brigades and other units of the formation, this indicates that the russian command will continue to try to push through the ukrainian defenses and er, sharpen, or to try to surround the ukrainian garrison located in avdiytsia, well, of course, to achieve their military, and first of all political goals, since it is obvious that this command, this order, was nevertheless formed in the kremlin, and including, victory under avdiyivka, should be a kind of gift for putin before the elections, well, another aspect, to demonstrate that the ukrainian offensive has really stalled, now russia has turned the tide and is starting to attack the Ukrainian Forces again, occupying donbas completely, and again having prepared new positions for negotiations with the west, it is obvious that against the background of the turbulence that is happening in the american political system, the kremlin is trying to create conditions for declaring that everything, there is no point in supporting ukraine, if you will support ukraine, we will go further, because the Ukrainian Army is no longer able to go forward, and we do not want to go further, we are ready to freeze the conflict, just stop helping the ukrainians and fast for negotiations. Mr. Mykhailo, our possibilities to fight with the russians for a long time, the estonian intelligence, just a few days ago, the intelligence announced that the russians have 4 million ammunition ready. We are talking now about the million promised to us by the european union. At the same time, the ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Baltic States emphasize that literally 300,000 of this million have been delivered there, and north korea is already ready to help and has already helped the Russian Federation for 350, well, that is, we are leaning on such mathematics, which tells us that everything is not so good in our house, how can we get out of this situation, taking into account the overall, not very favorable, conjuncture, so in the world, we understand that movements and saltpetre are not banal in europe anymore, and the production of ammunition is both expensive and timeconsuming. Well, actually, i can say paradoxically, but the way the situation in the world is developing now, it helps our western partners to understand, finally realized that the beginning of investments in the Defense Industry is not only about ukraine, it is primarily about their security, and one cannot hope that there will be a stable situation and stable defense, for example, in europe and the United States, if they do not invest now tens of billions of dollars , for example, in the production of munitions, you said absolutely correctly, it is not a quick process to establish the production of munitions, if for 30 years, these productions were reduced, well, in fact, they were destroyed, and now only in the last year, europe and the United States began to increase this production, there is indeed a shortage of raw materials, a shortage of components, a shortage of engineers, a shortage of capacity for the production of ammunition in the quantities that ukraine needs, ukraine needs 2. 5 million ammunition a year, this in order to maintain the level that we have now, and if you build up. The intensity of artillery use is of course more than 2. 5 million rounds of ammunition per year, so i think that what is happening in israel now, what is happening, and we see trends in other parts of the world, it still helps our western partners, both in the United States and in europe, to take seriously the fact that the Defense Industry must be developed, including, first of all of course , now invest in the production of ammunition. Because this story is not, not for one year, this story is not only about the russianukrainian war, the issue is much more global now, how far can it be considered in principle that the further globalization of processes in the world of military processes, because we say that on in the middle east, this may not be the last war, it will be reflected either on the production of weapons, or on the contrary, on its shortage, i think that we are entering a new. Period of growth of the Defense Industry, in kyiv a few weeks ago there was a defense the Industrial Forum at which the issue was discussed, precisely, a clear assessment was that for 30 years, the Defense Industry of the west of our western partners, it was simply collapsing, and only in recent months came the realization in the west, in the Political Community, well, of course, industrialists are always ready to participate in such a business, but the Political Community has come to realize that it is necessary to invest , and not just to help ukraine, but to equip , in a new way, to equip its armies, so i think that, after all, the Defense Industry of our western partners will to grow, and powerfully, including based on ukrainian experience, this is a huge advantage of our partners now, in that they can study how western weapons are used, and ukrainian experience, well, for example, ukrainian experience in using drones, in creating. Very cheap, effective, this is a new word in military science, military practice, and of course it affects the further, further development of the Defense Industry, because , for example, both naval drones and Unmanned Systems that ukraine itself is currently using and building, they will become, i i think, a new direction of the development of the Defense Industry, including in the west and including with the use of artificial intelligence. Mr. Mykhailo, for the last time, i will probably ask. Many of the viewers and ukrainians in general are worried about something that the russians are not they are resorting to the usual practice of attacking us periodically with missiles, and that massively, we are talking about guided air based missiles, for example, airbased cruise missiles and all those that carry them. What do you think they are waiting for . They dont wait, they accumulate. They are concentrating missiles, the fact is that, first of all, the resource of their strategic bombers, it is , lets say, golden, because these are soviet rather outdated bombers, they cant release them, they can continue them, the resource, but of course thats all limited, therefore they they have been used quite intensively in recent months, now they are letting them rest, restoring their resource and at the same time accumulating missiles, they can release all the missiles, all of the entire nomenclature per month, about 150160 per month, of course, this is not enough if you carry out such missile strikes as they they did this literally a year ago, yes, that is, now they are trying to concentrate a larger number and maybe then they will resort to such more massive strikes, for example, to collect 200 missiles, hit with these missiles, plus 100200 shaheds and in this way try to load, overload the ukrainian system of antimissile defense, antiaircraft defense and cause maximum maximum damage to the Ukrainian Energy supply system, thank you for inclusion, for joining the broadcast, mykhailo somus, military expert, director of new Geopolitics Research network , Deputy Director for International Affairs of the army, conversion and Disarmament Research center, we will probably take a short break now and come back.
