Good evening caster im sorry you re up so late . Good evening. I already slept. Dont let that bother you. Sorry again. Please pass. Now ill turn on the light there. Something happened . Happened on the air a big game in the world there are many important and interesting events, and we will talk about some of them during the program. In general, it is becoming more and more clear that the fate of the conflict around ukraine, that it will be decided, unfortunately not through negotiations, but depending on the military dynamics of what is happening on the battlefields, of course, negotiations were also very possible, even if you won, and then what is called put the negotiations on autopilot, then everything acquired on the battlefield can be lost . Ah here is until priority, until. Prioritize. This is what is happening on the battlefields and with us today is our distinguished military expert captain, first rank. Konstantin sivkov is an absolutely understandable question about not completely. Situations, because there is how this situation is covered in russia, how this situation is covered in the western media, and how it is covered on ukraine, uh, where, as it were, there is some kind of special, truth well, give us a general assessment of what is happening on the ukrainian front. How did you correctly notice . Eh, now it becomes again obvious that there can be no talk of negotiations, because the conflict is existential, what we have today , today we have that the first two echelons. Strike groups were put into action and they could not break through the defense of russia even at the minimum level; now the third echelon is being introduced. It is also said that there are still forces some, but uh, judging by the fact that the eightysecond airborne airstorm brigade is found, by the way, the eightysecond in i know the air assault river and the american yes, the composition of this brigade is up to the regiment, having only everywhere challenger tanks and they are thrown into battle in the e, zaporozhye direction. Why is there no other in zaporozhye, because it is in the zaporozhye direction specifically in the area. E, means work and work, it is less than a degree, namely, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe harvest they managed to advance. A little bit ahead a ledge was formed and in order to ensure the flank in this ledge, it was necessary to solve the problem. We need to solve the problem now. Uh, taking control of the work to create a more profitable operational environment. However , the losses that they now bear. He says that it is incredibly impossible to solve this problem. And if now this offensive is stopped, then in the region. To the north here in these regions our offensive begins. It is in these directions that this offensive endangers the encirclement of the entire kharkov grouping. That can jeopardize. If it develops, in general , all these regions should be borne in mind that our offensive is being carried out at a rather low pace on average. Although very good results up to 7 km per day are achieved in a separate period of time. But this all clearly demonstrates that an offensive is underway here. Well, lets put it this way, uh, not too active , not too, hastily with the saving of personnel, saving equipment with savings will be supplies. Today i spoke to the wind frontline soldier who appeared here. They say that the strength of our strength. Here we stop a little on all these sectors of the front. All this just says that the strike force is in the rear. Prepared for some more Decisive Action , the Operational Command says, uh, and this frontline soldier also says the frontline soldier says that, in principle, when making a firm decision, the task. May be resolved. In general, in a short time, the defeat of this grouping all there in this region, but so far such a political no decision was made and the reason is clear. Why, given the existential nature of the conflict between russia and the west, russia needs to maneuver on the one hand, it cannot be allowed that some unrest arises inside russia, the other side needs to solve the problem in such a way as to prevent the west from being openly drawn into this war with the transition to the use of Nuclear Weapons , so our president acts subtly carefully. Here and uh, caution but for now. Eh, as they say, the frog gradually begins to boil it did not immediately thrown into hot water. Here and uh, the west begins to talk about the negotiations. Well, as they say, there are several stages. The first stage is anger, the second stage is negotiation. Here we come to the stage of negotiations. Further depression will follow, because those negotiation options that do not offer to leave this territory behind us. Well, maybe even give away the territory that they walk. Uh, that constitution to the Russian Federation from there to withdraw the troops all this talk. Well, anyway, the rest of ukraine is part of nato this does not meet russian interests, therefore there will be, uh, further action, as far as the uh ukrainian leaders are concerned, who firmly say no. What kind of suspension of hostilities cannot be reached in the rpg, all the territories that according to their constitution belong to ukraine will be liberated, this is due to one thing against the background of those not huge losses and the obvious failure of the offensive that is now being observed. This is an attempt to achieve one to prolong its existence, because it is clear that in the case of the conclusion of peace. These figures are highly likely to be or physically destroyed. Or, if they are removed from their position and the hard fate awaits yamaha so i will say, most likely they will not survive, therefore they are fighting for their lives. Thank you im very u impressed with your military analysis and uh everything you said is true as far as i know. Thank you for rating. I think that for russia this is really a social conflict and, uh, i can justify why i think so, and why the russian leadership from the point of view of the west thinks so from my point of view, but they maybe they will convince themselves that this is a social conflict, but they are saying more and more that since this is a common situation, by the way, there is some kind of conflict in america. Uh, far from the United States where the United States has no vitally important interests, but goes into this conflict, and gets into this conflict more and more and begins. Uh, from this conflict. Everything depends more and more, but not for the whole country, but for a specific one. Political guidance for the biden administration, in this case for them indeed, this is an existential conflict, and from this point of view, i agree with you quite right of the american elite, investment for the american globalist elite. Yes, but were having a visitor from the United States today. And the forbes Political Writer senior fellow at the center for the National Interest has held major positions in the white house and portamento city in previous republican administrations. You know him chris white yes, and he just wrote an article for russia in Global Affairs magazine. And where is he says that the United States has no vital interests. This is an election war. Vladimir khabarov and deputy chairman of the first Deputy Committee on International Affairs of the council of the federation and in addition to the state security general you served in the federal Security Service held very high positions in counterintelligence. Why am i saying this not just to raise you at least this. In general, you dont need it in any way, but because, uh, konstantin said a few minutes ago that, in general, in this conflict, and important the factor will be the desire of the collective west to shake russia and very much. Now they are writing about Ukrainian Military actions , attacks on moscow, attacks on the kremlin, attacks on bridges, that, in general, most of these attacks are not about a real military advantage, but to undermine the spirit. And if you want the unity of the russian people. From your point of view, this strategy brings ukraine some results. I think no, it does not bring and will not bring, because, firstly, the russian leadership includes special services. They hides more than one attempt of a single terrorist attack, nor an attempt of any sabotage. All this is going on in the open press, everything is being transformed. I want to say that, of course, they are working very actively. Uh, Ukrainian Special services. E in russia and are trying to recruit new supporters. But here i think that we will cope with this problem, our special services are able to work in such conditions. I think here it is something else. The fact is that you correctly said, Konstantin Valentinovich , that yes now, as if the spirit of the ukrainian is a little addicted and maybe even significantly sat down and there was talk of some kind of truce at the beginning of the negotiations. And you quite rightly said dmitry that negotiations should be launched after some result has been achieved. Now the negotiations will be tantamount to defeat, because you know how the west turns over and is done from white to black. On the contrary, i think that negotiations will be needed. After the goal of our special military operation is achieved. And if only the supreme commanderinchief knows the goals of the truth, i thought we had problems. Now in another very a lot of grown up young people. Over these last 2030 years, which is already a completely different environment. Most of them are patriots. Russians with a capital letter, but sometimes they perceive many questions easily , you know, it amazes me that they detain young people of student age who, for some pennies, are ready to provide information to the enemy, and train schedules. Right now, the Federation Council is passing a bill to increase the punishment for those who film the arrival of drones, the blows of drones, because here we will play into the hands of enemies, first, see the result of your work. And what can, well, how to influence the mood of our people, and secondly, the coordinates of objects are easily calculated there. And i think that here we need to take a tough approach to this issue, maybe later in the course of time we will weaken some, but now the situation must be toughened, because here and here we will regret something, then we can pay ourselves for everything its expensive. I think that in any case, what will remain of ukraine i dont know, but the smallest stump of this country once a prosperous part of the ussr and even after the collapse of the soviet union and it will still be a permanent project of antirussia, gluing continuously, and the americans will pump in money there. Yes you are right. This is not a fundamental conflict for them, but it is a fundamental conflict for all the rest of western europe, which also turned against us, and i think that if there is something left of ukraine, there must be a friendly regime for our country, otherwise this story will be repeated. For some period of time constantly so once and for all. This is the nazi reptile she has to live with. And, of course , im sure that everyone who is now declaring that we need to start negotiations only after we return to the border in the ninetyfirst year. This is completely nonconstructive. It is clear that these people are not even responsible for their words. I have no doubt that zelensky never believes. Itself not a single minute that can return the crimea or other regions, therefore, i think that we are even now assembled. We are even now very active and, of course, do not forgive any manifestations of weakness. Well, all the more to give everything you know, if by the beginning of the ninetyfirst year, then maybe not against it, but this is generally an exception. Yes, this is excluded. Well, and here, in order to make it as clear as possible from russia and from kiev, no one offers the minimum minimum acceptable conditions. I always proceed from the fact that the first condition that is proposed, however they do not necessarily have to be acceptable to another country. This is the beginning of negotiations, but still there should be some kind of minimum. Common base. But look at what zelenskys adviser, mr. Podolak, requires from ukraine. The russians must leave the caviar, then we have to sign an armistice, calculate reparations , investigate war crimes, discuss the future of the Russian Nuclear arsenal and delimit a demolitarized zone on the territory of the Russian Federation, in other words, negotiate. I have to ask you to comment on this. Well, what can i say, this was only offered, uh, in 1945 , nazi germany in berlin should be treated in a lunatic asylum. Yes it is absolutely inadequate people make me aggravate this situation. Uh, after the crimean events , i found how the Obama Administration reacts to what is happening, and i want to tell you, even in comparison, it is much more incompetent. Much more adventurous , why is that the main thesis of the experts and specialists in the Obama Administration they were talking about . No clashes of proxy wars on the territory of ukraine will be within the power of the United States. Less than an exchange of nuclear strikes in all clashes, russia will win, because for russia, ukraine is existential problem. And for america, its not an existential problem. Russia is ready to lay it out, the president himself absolutely said it , and obama says it too. Why is this surprising . He didnt even put the develins, that is, the simplest javel. He says, no, it will come from the well. We wont get anything good here. Here, look at the biden due to a number of circumstances, afghanistan is shameful there. The flight from there is a difficult situation in america, internal, and so on after the code , he was drawn into himself. Here he pulled himself swamp because he said. This is not a war. He said himself, this is not a war between ukraine and russia, this is not a clash. This is a war between world democracy against world autocracy , in fact, he has placed his own destiny in dependence. The fate of the property of the country from the outcome of this collision. That is why he found himself in a very difficult position. He needs to bounce back and the last thing i wanted to say could be just one episode. I will say few who paid attention to this, but i did and i want to voice it. In vilnius blinken said a thing that no one paid attention to it so seriously, because what he said, zelensky, we are fighting for you. This is our common war said, this is your war and you will be responsible for your war. Here it was for me, it sounded like a thunder in the clear. Why are ukrainians shocked after . Is it yours you do . You say, what is important interesting things, but you do not let me ask you a question, well, which is the most central to our conversation. The question is this. Uh, we talked a lot for this table, and you also said, if i understood you correctly, that when a war for russia becomes patriotic russia, such warriors do not lose, we also talked about the fact that in the history of russia wars were usually lost when there was a stab in the back, and not just from the side. E of the masses, but also of some part of the elite. And so i want to share with you one observation of my own, which you may not like, but this observation about the comparison of the globalist, and the intellectual elite in new york, washington and a significant parts of the russian political elite, the Foreign Policy elite the globalist elite in new york washington dc i think they are uh uh from combining uh with pensions out of spite, what cant they do . Its like they got off the chain and they donate not only decency, but im not afraid to say common sense pragmatism, but a significant part of the russian Foreign Policy elite and all three of me, if im wrong from your point of view, a significant part of the Russian Foreign political elite was formed in the dashing nineties in a completely different relationship with west with a completely different willingness to follow american, uh, Foreign Policy. And if you like, with a completely different tendency to accept foreign primarily american grants, are there such residual phenomena today . And if they are, do they not have any real practical significance . Dmitry is a very interesting question. As you understand, i have an answer. Not only that , i even have the names of people who, well , this is not a process with us, i will not name it, but i want to say, really. You are absolutely right. Here, in the nineties , a whole generation of foreign political experts and specialists grew up who lived on western grants, who traveled to western universities, who were fed by any form of handouts. Well, i dont want to repeat the president. He said this rather harshly to the jackal or to the embassies, there and so on, but this also happened, but i cant say this about these people, because they tried. Position that they influence here and they convey to them what is happening here, then yes, they were such intermediaries, but dmitry you are absolutely right. Some of these people, again, i will not name names, they suddenly changed their shoes, people who lived exclusively on american money only in washington and new york felt at home, they suddenly became fans of china, traditionalism in russia in general, uh, russian autoctonism culture and so on. I dont trust these people for a second. I dont believe them. Heres how stanislavsky said i dont believe it, because when people change their shoes, in the air, but how can this believe the other part, and i will say such less hysterical, but which also deeply sat in all these western funds, structures, and so on. They behave like they speak english in a low profile, that is, quietly calmly, but this does not mean that they have a soul and all their practical activities. Is it somehow visible, or are we just worried that it might be. They are what is called insufficiently devoted, but they still do everything that is necessary. Uh, you know, this is a tricky question. In what sense . I will now say that there are no longer such a number of external contacts meetings and directly. They cant get these grants money, there an
