M. Every week saturday s Political Club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world Vitaly Portnikov espresso host and invitation experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events, you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday Political Club that saturdays on espresso greetings dear tv viewers on the air of the espresso tv channel, the program, the studio, the event , we will analyze the most important events of this week, of course , the key stories are unfolding now on the great front of the russianukrainian war and at the same time extremely important impulses are coming from both the International Community and the kremlin about this Different Air roman svetan and oleksandr morozov, our first guest roman svetan, military expert , colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, glory to ukraine, mr. Colonel, i salute you as a hero , glory, i wish you health, i wish you health, well, accordingly , lets move to the southern direction , we understand that extremely difficult battles are ongoing , difficult battles, difficult battles but there are certain advances from the other side of the enemy, there is already information that additional human reserves are being transferred there, so manpower and not only it, there are two directions in the area of the zaporozhye front where are the ukrainian troops converging where are the positive dynamics of the introduction of hostilities orekhov district willow general direction to the south towards Melitopol Berdyansk i. E. To the azov coast the line has already taken place for several kilometers they have already passed the line of support for the first line of defense of the russians the very first line of defense has already been opened the support line is the first line of defense and we are already working on the second line now, right here between recruiter and workers it is very difficult to transfer the russians there really Additional Units of the 2nd Russian Division are now transferred there for strengthening, on the one hand, the strengthening of our breakthrough, which was formed in the area of recruitment and on the other hand, to overhang on the flanks , it is very dangerous for the movement of our troops , a flank attack and then e at the moment , work is being done to strengthen the flanks , at least the western flank and the expansion of the eastern plan. Eh, he will expand the bridgehead for further movement, just in order not to be hit by plank strikes, since after all, there are two divisions , eh, of serious Russian Forces that are concentrated there now, and with them, eh, they will come, eh, to enter rather serious the direction is in the vremya y steklo region, we are cleaning up the eastern flank of the Donetsk Region on one of the majors between the time zone and the observers, it is successful. Combat action is positive dynamics. I think that in the next week and a half, this ledge will be cut off. And in donetsk, the novomayorkskaya general movement, again, in the direction of azov, you will win, i will be at the helm, eh, this is a southern time , on the right, we are advancing further, in general, the direction to yalta , and the azov yalta in donetsk , that is what the enemy is called. The socalled offensive impulse on our part in order to raise additional reserves and possibly develop one or another offensive attack. Yes, it is possible that it will be in the kupyansk lyman direction, it will be possible some more. How do you see this threat when the offensive momentum declines and the enemy begins to use this situation, well, in simple words, on the counterattack . Well, at the moment , they are not preparing to uhuh for the uhuh decline of the momentum , attack just to him, well, somewhere in the middle, that is, after the introduction of uh, our reserves, what are you for the breakthrough of the front of the zaporozhye movement, further to the side of the azov victory anthem. Kupyansklovoy can be with kremennoy on atorskaya naliman, that is, in general, the direction. But this is one direction of their strikes, only this is what they are still trying to do. Bakhmut in the area of berkhovka, er, bakhmut will be hit by the russian garrison of bakhmut. The flight is in a very, er, difficult situation. Now we are controlling the flow of the exit, after exiting to the north of bakhmut, we will completely close er, and the entrance and exit from bakhmut will later have a boiler this is not only operational and there will be very big problems, then they are just now. Congratulations , keep our troops in the area of berkhovka, do not let them advance further, specific, very powerful. Horlovka, too, russia does not understand very well that the traffic in the toilets of the Old Neighborhood there is a height of somewhere 200220 m in horlovka for 300 m. It is dangerous for them. They can be activated just then when the main part of our offensive will begin. Well, the reduction of the period of the offensive will be somewhere closer to the rain. In the middle of the offensive action , in the near future they will literally begin to intensify the pressure along the luhansk route along the kupyansk route. Well, in the bakhmut region, they are generally interested in extending the military campaign as much as possible yes, because they may have additional manpower ready , they are now trying to restart their missile production and so on. That is, before the elections and reelections of the american president , this is practically until the 25th year, so that is, they have a schedule for about two and a half years, the dynamics in motion along the front and the Natural Development of the army, but they have already stopped at some points related to maximum production , that is, they can no longer increase the production of some types of equipment , including supplies, later they entered the international markets, while these partners already north korea, china, iran, and they are asking to pick up a certain amount of ammunition , but these countries also have it, well, lets say 2530 , they can give it, but if its more than 70 , well return less than 70 of the ammunition purchased , they wont reduce their reserves therefore, this is not the case here either. The endless barrel , after all, in the near future, the russians will try to hold the front line as long as possible. Lets say in the direction of the azov coast. The tracks are already there, they have already opened a line of defense there, that is, the configuration is already visible in the event of the collapse of the russian fronts of zaporozhye and kherson, that is, crimea is sealed in crimea and the front line is leveled exactly along the line of kupyansk of st. Bakhmut , donetsk, volnovakhamaryupol that is, severo nauk, this is what is visible. Here is the closest prospect right before the new year, although they will use all the forces that they have , well, the presence of these forces will hold the zaporozhye direction, because he understands very well that if we reach tokmak, the front will collapse, uh, and one and the other, kherson and zaporizhia, this is what is happening in the near future. Well, by the new year, they will be asking, um, uh , they will stretch along kupyansk, that is, they will try to push our troops out of the triangle. That they, in principle, can at least try to do it with them, of course , we will not get a sufficient amount of er forces, there is a truth, there are questions. Well , i think our partners, understanding er, these problems, will increase the supply of ammunition боеприпасов повшы измене эtоt сейчас неужно налиманское direction in ukraine also begins preparation for increasing the production of drones, and the existing russian rap is unlikely to be able to accept an increase , for example, of attacks by unidentified flying objects by an order of magnitude, that is, i know there several times how you see the readiness of the russians rebu and Russian Air Defense systems to cover military facilities in general in russia and not only in moscow or leningrad. And here are two anchors. They began to carry out drone attacks, they have been working with drones with these same martyrs for some time now, recently the chinese have increased supplies, they have practically stopped the shipment of activated drones that can be used in combat conditions, and on the other hand, basically all drones go to russia now, in russia, drones operate with waves. Up to fifty drones are connected to the tv simultaneously, which means that they have at least half a hundred operators. And in beer, drones are quite serious problems, since the range is 1012 km. Translators to two kg of explosives with a speed of more than 100 km h is definitely necessary for an intelligent operator, but nevertheless they have prepared, that is, the russians have already reached such an average level, the use of the second one is only at the beginning of this path , especially because china has stopped shipping and loading only for russia, eh, this fully supports russian aggression on ukraine, mm, we have a sag, eh, because of the possibility, eh, for the possibility of assembling, eh, because it is very important now to set up production from other parts, that is, from the second element elemental base of our partners, therefore it is very important to once again invite these drones plus the number of operators. Well, at least a hundred operators who can perform such tasks with drones, it is quite difficult, it is not an easy task , therefore, there is also a need to prepare for the entire complex of the event, and therefore, we are now only at the very beginning of the drone antidrone war , at least those that are now video this against russian drones and at the beginning of our second war because they are limited by production, but due to the fact that in russia the production of weapons is scattered over a very large territory, they at one time covered themselves with this dispersion over the territory of air defense is not enough and it is enough the russians will not be able to cover the nvo system with all their Production Capacity in the next few years, so we have an opportunity window that is only limited by the number of drones and the number of operators. If we talk about priorities for example, among the military facilities of the russian federation. That is, this is the southern direction. Is it necessary to try to push back their Strategic Aviation . Well, because they brought out their strategic bombers like that, well, the first thing is the destruction of the fuel of the russian army , because fuel is the blood of any army, if you knock it out fuel, the army will dry up. Where would it be, and even more so . When at a great distance with large shoulders, the supply of fuel is needed even for the transportation of the same fuel, and the first task this destruction will begin with the sinking of the wells, that is, the destruction of the oil and gas wells, and then the destruction of nonoil refineries, chemical production, namely the production of gasoline, diesel fuel, and then the oil and fuel receivers of the ports. Fuel overload, that is, this is all of the fuel structure. Russia must destroy this first one. It is possible to destroy the production of kerosene, jet fuel, and this plane will stand as just a piece of iron and no more. That is, there is metal instead of duralumin base , this is the way it is possible to land all aviation if it is impossible to get to it, but now our groups are working, our eh and Service Foreign intelligence and the main Counterintelligence Department of the sbu, special Operations Forces are working at great depth , by and large, i think we will get the children planes and drones already purchased by the same chinese ones only purchased in russia tanks, it is possible to buy a leg from a drone to make a kamikaze drone, in principle , it will not be a big problem, so we will destroy it for sure. And fuel, the entire supply chain of fuel production and airplanes on the parking lots, and the destruction of permissible elemental production is important the elemental base is shaky, but nevertheless, the sanctions are making themselves felt and the russians are slowly blocking the supply lines of the elemental base that does not produce , they cannot. Closer to our border, in the same kursk, in the same bryansk, in the same, and these are the factories that have been burning lately, understand that these factories are one of the main ones, of course, our intelligence and er performs combat tasks to destroy the production of the element base, it is also necessary they will destroy the production of the main rockets, this is mainly in the suburbs of moscow, in kolomna, in dubna, that is, that is where our beavers go this group is engaged in the main control of the reconnaissance, that is, uh , the event is carried out. But this requires времение эtо дрейtинг фонсиальных определённых усолий эtо эtо недвижимосtь и програзиция и прокушиtе для совец. The increasing fact is that a person who does not have a specialized education will not understand the specifics of the implementation of tasks rather the specifics of the appearance of problems and how and how to solve them. They will perform a heart operation, or even a banal operation for appendicitis, eh, that is, it is simply not compatible. The time of war in a warring country will not solve the problems that exist in the ministry of defense and we now have the army, until the minister of defense becomes a former military man, that is, with a specialized education, the best is better if from the commander of a military unit and higher or necessarily with an education, that is, he has passed training at the academy at the academy of the general staff, that is, it is optimal, look at the minister of defense of the United States, voight austin, a combat general , who has passed several soldiers who led departments in the general staff, that is, he knows the specifics very well it is he who directs the pentagon in the ministry of defense in this sense, therefore there are no questions. The number of weapons, but in the nato bloc, it is permissible to appoint a civilian as the minister of defense, lets take an example from this country, from the United States , because until the minister of defense is a former military man, nothing will change, well, we just understand that we have e is the commanderinchief, the commander of certain directions, such as whiskey , and so on, there is the general staff, and as far as i understand , they must voice the needs, in particular, what concerns the provision of production, and so on, and the ministry of defense has organize work well, in my opinion, this is what the current scheme looks like. Well, the fact is that the general staff itself is now fighting, and the commander of the general staff is also fighting for honor and, uh , some tasks that the general staff previously solved now, its a little out of hand, eh because hostilities are being carried out, and therefore it must be at the level of the subconscious , uh, contact with people in the ministry of defense , who must know the basic needs , raise even somehow predict, again , at the level of the same subconscious, but for this , you need to go through a certain military school grazhdansky simply wont understand the needs, wont understand whats the first priority, whats the second priority, the new minister has taken up this digitalization privilege, and so on and so on. Yes, thats not the problem, now on the battlefield there are not enough mines, there are not enough shells, there are not enough drones , there are not enough drones operators for eh introduction of hostilities, just these same drones, thats it. The most important thing is digitalization its more for eh, thats political tinsel, and not for the performance of military tasks, so its civil, even more so, a semipolitician, hell be engaged in Civil Affairs halfpolitic, er, then i will repeat myself. Until the military, uh, the ministry of defense will not catch a person like lloyd austin in america, and there will be problems , we will deal with the ministry of defense with the improvement of the document flow, and nothing more and if a person started you in digitalization precisely with document circulation it means that it will not make sense. If we talk about attempts to open up russian logistics in the south , what are the prospects, because the military says they can dig into the concrete and sit there but if they begin to have problems with the supply of bc fuel and lubricants and it goes, it goes, it goes, then they will not know how to get out of this situation. Russians as the first task of any defending army is the destruction of the advancing army , namely the intersection of Logistics Supply chains, so the first natural task is to disable the crimean bridge. Military munitions in crimea and in the direction of the kherson region, and the second task is the land corridor, eh, crossing it, or at least an attempt to take it under operational control , that is, under the blows of either army sawmills or eh, missiles of the rzhg haimersom, they will reach any point of this land traffic therefore, if we even get to the railway that goes to tokmak from the side of volnovakha, chernihivka, this is already a great luck of this offensive. On tokmak, that is, we will take it under control. Well, with the help of these mm heimers, we can already get to the land er to the land tracy with the established melitopol , this is rostov, mariupol, berdyansk melitopol , so there are about 15, probably 20 km left maximum in order to complete such a task, and these are already these two tasks , i. E. Disabling the crimean bridge, and until after we take operational control of the land supply lines, this will take the russians out in will transfer the russians to such an operative regime encirclement with what the crimean part of the zaporozhye kherson region, the whole of the crimean Kherson Group will be an operational socalled operational encirclement, because this is exactly the task and worth it. On Big Shoulders eh every kilometer every tenth km increases the necessary amount of the same fuel also ammunition and there are about 500 km, that is, a shoulder at the rate ochen длинные проtому they are especially in khersonsk eh in khersonskaya part of zaporizhzhya region they are in such a disadvantageous position we will use it thank you , colonel, for this extremely interesting and honest conversation, i will remind our tv viewers that i caught espresso on the air, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine worked for them in reserve, military expert roman svitan every hour, every minute, we receive a large amount of information, even expectations about the event of the year, what is actually happening at the front, what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, as assessed by our successes of the International Community and about what moscow is lying from the stream of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones from closely monitoring whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what the russian occupiers are whispering about behind the backs of the news commanders.
