[00:07:44] who has already woken up, the most important events from the front
[00:07:48] and military comments, current news from Ukraine and
[00:07:51] Europe, operational information, inclusions,
[00:07:54] weather forecasts and conversations with guests, we will talk about
[00:07:58] the most pressing issues in Ukraine and
[00:08:00] the world, start your information day with those
[00:08:04] you trust, Ukrainian focus morning, every day on
[00:08:08] weekdays from 7:00 to 10:00 on
[00:08:10] Espresso.
[00:08:28] Greetings, this is the Eastern Shield program, and today we are talking
[00:08:31] about Vivaldi's background music, the tactical successes
[00:08:34] of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already becoming operational. The new
[00:08:37] strategy of the Kremlin, the second front for Russia will be the civilian
[00:08:41] population of Ukraine. Readiness number one:
[00:08:44] Russia has begun attacks on energy infrastructure, is
[00:08:48] Ukraine ready? History against Putin,
[00:08:51] why the dictator makes a mistake trying
[00:08:54] to repeat historical scenarios
[00:08:57] of capitulation?
[00:09:01] The war is over, but the war will
[00:09:04] continue. Sounds paradoxical and even
[00:09:07] absurd, doesn't it? However, from the point of view of the strategy chosen,
[00:09:11] or rather... once again changed by Vladimir Putin, it is so. If
[00:09:15] for almost 5 years the dictator hoped to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield,
[00:09:19] now he intends to do it through the collapse
[00:09:22] of our rear. Let's take a closer look at
[00:09:26] what happened and what will happen.
[00:09:29] 2025 was the most difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our
[00:09:33] army slowly but retreated. The enemy entered
[00:09:36] the territory of Sicheslav region, approached Sumy, threatened
[00:09:39] Zaporizhzhia. Behind it was already a successful Kursk
[00:09:43] operation. Putin again believed in his lucky star and that his
[00:09:46] bet on a protracted war after the failure of the blitzkrieg in
[00:09:49] 2022 would play out. But
[00:09:53] in the spring of 2026, the Armed Forces stabilized the front.
[00:09:56] First, through a series of counter-offensive actions, the threat to
[00:10:00] Zaporizhzhia was removed. This was done by Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. And in the autumn
[00:10:03] of 2026, the new Commander-in-Chief Drapata continued the tactics
[00:10:06] of free counter-offensives this time in Donetsk region, where Ukraine
[00:10:10] entered a decisive battle for. a belt of fortress cities.
[00:10:14] To Vivaldi's music, the defense forces cut off the Russian salient near
[00:10:17] Lyman, which threatened our belt of fortresses that
[00:10:21] cover a huge operational space all the way to
[00:10:24] the city of Dnipro, and here
[00:10:28] Russian war correspondents began to complain that now they
[00:10:31] would be beaten in yet another Following problems in the Lyman
[00:10:34] direction, the situation is worsening in the Slovyansk direction as well. The enemy
[00:10:38] managed to entrench themselves in the Dibrova and Ozerne areas, which
[00:10:42] worsened the situation for Russian units in the areas of
[00:10:45] Kryva Luka and Piskunivka.
[00:10:48] To summarize, at the front, what we have been talking about
[00:10:51] since spring is happening: a stalemate. We are not yet able
[00:10:55] to deliver a strategic blow to the enemy that would force him to leave
[00:10:59] Ukraine, but our tactical successes have already grown into
[00:11:02] operational ones. Putin also realized this. A victory at the front
[00:11:06] is no longer to be expected. Perhaps this is also connected with
[00:11:10] the fact that the huge forced mobilization of 600-800
[00:11:14] thousand, with the closure of borders, which was threatened immediately after the elections to
[00:11:18] the State Duma, did not happen. But this
[00:11:21] does not mean at all that Putin realized the futility of his plans
[00:11:25] to subjugate Ukraine, and that the war will soon stop, no,
[00:11:28] it will only intensify. In the Kremlin, they simply changed plans again.
[00:11:32] If earlier strikes on the Ukrainian rear were
[00:11:34] auxiliary in pressure on the front, now it is precisely
[00:11:38] civilians who become the main target for Putin, and military actions at
[00:11:41] the front are auxiliary. The strategy
[00:11:44] has changed, the goal remained the
[00:11:47] same. In this strategy, Putin relies on
[00:11:50] historical experience, when the army wins, but
[00:11:54] the uprising of the war-weary civilian population
[00:11:57] forces the authorities to agree to a humiliating capitulation. Let's
[00:12:00] remember how it once was.
[00:12:04] June 4 to September 20 1916
[00:12:08] saw one of the most successful operations
[00:12:10] of the Entente and the most successful Russian offensive in World War I -
[00:12:14] the Brusilov Offensive or the Lutsk Breakthrough. On a front
[00:12:17] about 300 km long, about half a million Russian soldiers
[00:12:21] went on the offensive simultaneously, and in total, about
[00:12:25] 1.5 million servicemen took part in the operation. The Russian army occupied a significant
[00:12:28] part of Volhynia, Galicia, and Bukovina. At the same time, the offensive forced
[00:12:32] Germany to transfer troops from the Western Front, which weakened the offensive on
[00:12:35] Verdun, helped save Italy from defeat by Austrian troops
[00:12:39] and ultimately contributed to Romania's entry into the war on the side of the Entente. For the Russian
[00:12:43] Empire itself, this victory was the last great success in
[00:12:46] the war and virtually the last historical chord of the empire.
[00:12:50] Huge human losses, about half a million killed and wounded, and
[00:12:53] the exhaustion of the economy accelerated the irreversible processes of its
[00:12:57] collapse. Already half a year later, in February 1917, a
[00:13:00] revolution took place. The Provisional Government still tried to maintain Russia's participation in
[00:13:04] the war, but after the Bolshevik coup, the new government agreed to
[00:13:07] the terms of Germany and Austro-Hungary and signed
[00:13:11] the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, effectively withdrawing Russia from the war.
[00:13:14] In March 1918,
[00:13:17] Germany and Austro-Hungary triumphed. The Eastern Front,
[00:13:20] which was especially difficult for them, given the weakness of the Austro-Hungarian
[00:13:24] army, which without German help would have lost the war at its very beginning,
[00:13:28] finally fell. As a result of the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, Russia lost
[00:13:31] Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, as well as the Turkish
[00:13:35] vilayets in the Caucasus, Kars, Ardahan, Batumi.
[00:13:38] Russia was to pay 6 billion marks in reparations.
[00:13:42] It seemed that the Triple Alliance, having received unlimited food resources
[00:13:45] from Ukraine, would still defeat the Entente. But already half a year later,
[00:13:48] in the autumn of 1918, revolutions took place in
[00:13:51] Austro-Hungary and Germany, which ended their.
[00:13:58] This is precisely what Vladimir Putin is banking on, on a revolution
[00:14:01] within Ukraine, which, as a result of the exhaustion of the rear,
[00:14:05] will force Kyiv to agree to
[00:14:07] capitulation, forgetting that this strategy
[00:14:11] can also work the other way, but he has no other
[00:14:15] way out than to break the rear. This is precisely why
[00:14:18] the air terror against the civilian population is intensifying. The Kremlin
[00:14:21] is convinced that Ukrainians will definitely not survive this
[00:14:25] winter, this is their last attempt.
[00:14:28] Putin has already lost the first strategic level
[00:14:31] of the front, and he intends to win
[00:14:34] the second strategic level of the rear, because beyond that is only the third
[00:14:38] strategic level, the use of nuclear weapons, but
[00:14:42] there are so many nuances, starting from the Chinese position, that it
[00:14:45] can only exist theoretically, but in practice it is
[00:14:48] unrealistic to use. Attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have already
[00:14:52] begun and caused some surprise. Why so
[00:14:55] early? The first massive strike was delivered in the last days
[00:14:59] of September. The weather is beautiful outside. This autumn is
[00:15:02] indeed warm, and the winter is also promised to be
[00:15:05] wet and warm. And so early because the window
[00:15:08] of opportunities is very narrow, Ukraine was going to find
[00:15:12] countermeasures against jet drones in two to three months for Kyiv and scale
[00:15:15] it up in six months for the whole of Ukraine. But what do we see
[00:15:19] now? A month after the first attacks of jet
[00:15:22] drones on Kyiv. Alarms became
[00:15:25] much shorter, they no longer last 3-5 hours, this
[00:15:29] means that a countermeasure has been found, an anti-aircraft
[00:15:32] ring around the capital is being created, which means that
[00:15:35] Putin's window of opportunity will be... much shorter than
[00:15:39] expected, and therefore we need to hurry, which is already
[00:15:42] being done, what else needs to be done and how, when
[00:15:45] the air terror will significantly weaken, what about the first
[00:15:48] Ukrainian ballistic missile, we talk about all this with
[00:15:52] Valeriy Romanenko. Valeriy
[00:15:55] Romanenko, aviation expert, leading researcher
[00:15:58] at the National Aviation University. Mr.
[00:16:02] Valeriy, greetings, glad to see you, after this nightmare
[00:16:05] that was happening in Kyiv at the beginning.
[00:16:07] September with the attacks of jet drones, which lasted for
[00:16:11] hours, the city was paralyzed, now it seems
[00:16:14] easier, is this my subjective feeling and my psyche
[00:16:18] has just adapted, or did air defense
[00:16:21] find a way to reduce the level of these threats, what do
[00:16:25] you think, well, frankly speaking, the level of threats
[00:16:29] has not decreased much, the number of
[00:16:33] hits has slightly increased, well, regarding today's
[00:16:36] raid, the number of damaged Russian targets, well, that is,
[00:16:39] the strike means that the Russians
[00:16:43] are trying to kill as many Ukrainians as possible, yes, today there are
[00:16:46] results for ballistics, and
[00:16:49] for the first time, a high result for jet drones,
[00:16:52] 82.5% of jet drones were shot down,
[00:16:56] excellent result,
[00:16:58] yes, this is a serious result, and in general for all
[00:17:01] drones, exactly 90%, if we take
[00:17:05] all jet and piston.
[00:17:07] 90%, this means that we are gradually,
[00:17:11] gradually, although quite quickly,
[00:17:14] moving to a level of 95,
[00:17:17] 90-95% of all drones are shot down,
[00:17:20] yes, well, I don't know what this is
[00:17:24] connected with, because even specialists, leading specialists,
[00:17:28] and state, so to speak, officials,
[00:17:31] official persons, said that we need a few months,
[00:17:35] yes, well, maybe something interesting was applied,
[00:17:38] besides, we are receiving weapons, now even
[00:17:42] Turkey has started supplying us with weapons, we received
[00:17:45] Turkish anti-aircraft guns, everything that
[00:17:49] yes, we received the 11th complex,
[00:17:52] Iristi, yes, well, they
[00:17:55] promise us 50 000 ammunition from
[00:17:58] Belgium are promised for f16 fighters,
[00:18:02] uh-huh, that is, they will be able to shoot down reactive drones, which for
[00:18:05] them are, well... very profitable, very convenient targets,
[00:18:09] yes, they will be able to shoot down simply with guns, that's cheap,
[00:18:13] angry, well, and, let's say so, similar to
[00:18:17] hunting, all these methods together, first,
[00:18:21] the Russians are now a bit out of breath releasing
[00:18:24] jet drones, uh-huh, well, it's also clear that their
[00:18:28] number is falling, there's no point in accumulating them,
[00:18:31] because when you accumulate, we also accumulate anti-aircraft drones,
[00:18:35] they used the moment when there was no weapon
[00:18:38] of retaliation, yes so, well, the fact
[00:18:41] that the number of drones is falling, in general, well, let's take
[00:18:45] today, 130 strike, of which,
[00:18:49] 140, 130 drones, of which 46 are jet, and
[00:18:52] the normal percentage all month was 45 to
[00:18:55] 55, almost half, yes,
[00:18:58] now it has dropped to a third, that is,
[00:19:02] the processes are opposite, we are more effective,
[00:19:05] the Russians, therefore, launch fewer, are able to launch
[00:19:09] fewer, because after all, our strikes on Russian
[00:19:13] enterprises, they do not contribute to increasing
[00:19:16] production. I immediately have several questions here,
[00:19:19] first you mentioned about
[00:19:22] Belgian ammunition, yes for F-16s. And what is this
[00:19:26] scandal that the Western press writes that Belgium
[00:19:29] is allegedly very slow with the maintenance
[00:19:32] of F-16s, that it takes 40 weeks instead of a few weeks, and
[00:19:36] half of our F-16 aviation cannot
[00:19:40] take off, is this true, or is it some kind of
[00:19:43] hype? No, the Belgian Minister of Defense said
[00:19:46] nothing of the sort, we will hand over three more F-16s to you in the near
[00:19:50] future, and the Russians are
[00:19:53] improving their guidance systems,
[00:19:56] for example, the French have improved
[00:19:59] for us the system, well, not,
[00:20:02] well, the defense system of this, meaning the onboard defense complex
[00:20:06] of F-16 fighters. Uh-huh, that is, let's say
[00:20:09] so, pilots say that no sortie is complete without that, without
[00:20:13] that, well, to the front line, yes, for example, to
[00:20:17] drop, let's say our KABs,
[00:20:20] French KABs, yes, so we drop Hammer, well, and Ukrainian ones have
[00:20:24] appeared now, to drop them, we need to
[00:20:27] fly about 20-30 kilometers to the front
[00:20:30] line, so not once was there a situation when they didn't launch
[00:20:34] one, two or more missiles at us, and the onboard
[00:20:37] complexes, well, we had no F-16 losses near the front,
[00:20:41] the onboard defense complexes allowed these
[00:20:44] missiles to be deflected to the side, well, there are many
[00:20:47] methods, you can, well, for
[00:20:50] example, create virtual targets, and a missile, it, a Russian missile,
[00:20:54] especially, it's stupid, it can fly to,
[00:20:57] let's say to the maximum heat source, if
[00:21:01] there is infrared guidance, yes, or let's say to
[00:21:04] the maximum signal strength, and
[00:21:07] traps are made exactly like that, so that they burn with an excess, they
[00:21:10] burn brighter and hotter than
[00:21:14] a jet engine, well,
[00:21:17] and although everything was improved there, but... well, the French have now
[00:21:21] installed them for us, and the Belgians say, we couldn't just give them to
[00:21:25] you, it needed France's permission, that's why we
[00:21:28] were delayed, and in general, our terms are normal, we,
[00:21:32] like American planes, which fought
[00:21:36] in the Persian Gulf, yes, so do
[00:21:39] Ukrainian fighters, 3-4 weeks and so, replacement,
[00:21:43] full replacement, well, engine replacement, replacement of relevant
[00:21:46] systems, control, checks of all aircraft
[00:21:49] systems. and they return them to us, so it
[00:21:53] was, let's say, a bird that, well, thank you for clarifying
[00:21:56] this betrayal, which some MPs, or rather female MPs
[00:22:00] started spreading, scandalously famous, but you
[00:22:03] also mentioned another story about how the defense forces are working
[00:22:07] proactively and trying to hit
[00:22:09] factories, yes, that produce both missiles and
[00:22:13] drones themselves, and here another interesting thing appeared, correct
[00:22:16] me if I'm wrong, there were many reports. about
[00:22:20] the defense forces destroying launchers, previously there was
[00:22:24] no such number in the summer, for example, that is, some
[00:22:28] kind of hunt for launchers began, both for jet drones and
[00:22:31] accordingly for launch complexes of the same ballistics, or
[00:22:34] not,
[00:22:37] ah, not just hunting, but successful
[00:22:40] hunting, yes, safari, you remember how many reactive
[00:22:44] drones in September flew from Bryansk region,
[00:22:48] yes, and now try to find a mention of
[00:22:51] something flying, just something from Bryansk region, yes, drones
[00:22:55] generally don't fly from there, that is,
[00:22:58] most likely we have pretty well targeted this region
[00:23:01] of Russia, yes, but as you simply understand,
[00:23:04] when I, when before that they told us that it was impossible
[00:23:08] to do, because we don't have this weapon, yes, small ballistics,
[00:23:12] which can operatively cover this
[00:23:14] launcher, then wait, how are we covering this
[00:23:17] now, what methods are we using?
[00:23:22] Well, that's a question for the General Staff, okay, let it be for now
[00:23:26] so I can, I can guess how it's done,
[00:23:29] and I'll make a note again that this is what I imagine
[00:23:33] how it's done, uh-huh, yes, very well,
[00:23:36] first, we also receive information from
[00:23:39] allies, and we have already, with you and on other
[00:23:42] broadcasts, I said that these launchers can be,
[00:23:45] for example, how were S-4 launch systems destroyed?
[00:23:48] They were destroyed on the march,
[00:23:52] uh-huh, on the road, yes, yes, and there is a small range
[00:23:56] of 250 km, there are 300 plus,
[00:23:59] a little plus kilometers, they have to approach 50 km
[00:24:03] to the border in Bryansk region, and 50
[00:24:06] km our scouts see, well, not even
[00:24:10] crossing the border, uh-huh, to such
[00:24:13] a distance, and we receive, let's say
[00:24:16] Starlink also works at such a distance, uh-huh. That is, we
[00:24:20] caught several such installations, well, for example, there was
[00:24:23] information that in the area of Vygonichi, Bryansk
[00:24:27] region, two S-400 launchers were destroyed, one
[00:24:31] of them was shown in the photo, a missile,
[00:24:34] well, unfortunately, I don't know if they were playing around, a missile, a drone,
[00:24:37] well, it just hit the cabin, where all the
[00:24:40] electronics are located, yes, unfortunately, four
[00:24:43] pipes with missiles are
[00:24:46] damaged, it's nicer when it hits the missiles.
[00:24:50] It's nicer, but it hit the cabin, but still this launcher,
[00:24:53] it's already finished, you can write it off,
[00:24:57] well, maybe the pipes were empty, that is, the strike on the pipe, the Russians have already
[00:25:01] launched, yes well, and still
[00:25:04] the operator decided to hit the
[00:25:07] cabin, because it's, because it's, let's say
[00:25:10] so, it's a sure shot, it will definitely be,
[00:25:13] yes, well, and if the missiles are empty, well,
[00:25:17] then the installation of pipes will be replaced in
[00:25:21] half an hour, they will put new ones, and the installation will work,
[00:25:25] well, that is, strikes, yes,
[00:25:28] well, reconnaissance information,
[00:25:31] mid-strikes, including Bars,
[00:25:34] a jet drone, it has
[00:25:36] a decent speed, and it will definitely reach 50 km,
[00:25:40] 60-70 km, in 20
[00:25:43] minutes, and this is exactly the time to deploy
[00:25:47] and dismantle the complex, and if it was also caught
[00:25:50] on the march, well, that's beautiful,
[00:25:53] because it can be hit before launch. Last week
[00:25:57] I pulled out my mobile phone, wanted to check the weather, and was
[00:26:01] surprised to see outside. by feeling 15, that you are in Lim,
[00:26:04] please, that you are in Lim, that I am in Lim, yes,
[00:26:08] I have 25° during the day and 21° at night,
[00:26:12] full tropics, and today we read, it's not Kyiv residents often with that
[00:26:15] they met, that they were sent to Latin America, and today we already see
[00:26:19] information that they are writing as if such a rep acts,
[00:26:22] which has already substituted the coordinates of two Russian
[00:26:25] ballistic missiles. Listen, this is a miracle then,
[00:26:29] if a whole ballistic missile can be deceived in such a way.
[00:26:33] It was about aeroballistics, well, as far as I remember,
[00:26:37] so, this is not fresh news, but
[00:26:41] these were daggers, mhm, and you
[00:26:44] see that the Russians have not used daggers for half a year,
[00:26:47] the reason is unclear, maybe they are inaccurate
[00:26:51] by themselves, but what is a dagger, it is
[00:26:54] the ability to reach
[00:26:56] any, any region of Ukraine with a ballistic missile,
[00:27:00] it's all the same. Lviv,
[00:27:03] Yavoriv, so, there Uzhhorod, yes,
[00:27:06] because they found that the range
[00:27:09] of Iskander, it is only 350 +m,
[00:27:13] there, well, 370, there, maybe, yes, that's it, and this,
[00:27:17] let's say, is the areas that reach Kyiv,
[00:27:20] it's already difficult to reach Zhytomyr, yes, with
[00:27:24] a ballistic missile, but they still reach, but this is already the limit
[00:27:27] of possibilities, the dagger flew to any
[00:27:30] point of Ukraine and they stopped using it, either they
[00:27:34] are vulnerable to rep, or
[00:27:36] generally they have a low
[00:27:40] accuracy and a high circular probable deviation
[00:27:43] from the target in hundreds of meters, mhm,
[00:27:47] but well, if they write that this is
[00:27:51] Lima, then this seems to have
[00:27:53] grounds for it, well, God grant, Mr.
[00:27:57] Valerii, the last question, if we are already talking about ballistics, aeroballistics,
[00:28:01] last week the president... showed,
[00:28:04] FP7, yes, uh, please tell me,
[00:28:08] is this a redesigned S-300, is this a modernized S300,
[00:28:12] and this range of 200, 200
[00:28:15] km, is it purely for performing tactical tasks
[00:28:18] at the front, or against, in the fight against
[00:28:22] the Russian air threat to our rear, will it also be useful,
[00:28:25] for example, during the same hunting for Russian
[00:28:29] launchers near the border, what kind of, what kind of
[00:28:33] product is this and why have we been waiting for it for so long?
[00:28:36] Well, we waited a long time because, for example, no one in Europe
[00:28:39] has ground-based ballistic missiles, no one has them at all,
[00:28:43] no country even for 200 km, even for such a small
[00:28:46] distance, even for such a distance,
[00:28:50] there are no ballistic missiles, we just had
[00:28:53] a point, a point and a point U, yes, those
[00:28:57] missiles, there was a range of 100-120 km,
[00:29:00] yes, now a leap. The range is
[00:29:03] 250, 200-250
[00:29:06] km, and in general ballistic missiles are developed
[00:29:09] for decades, there are many, let's say,
[00:29:13] moments, there you particularly need to maintain the trajectory
[00:29:17] and not just maintain the trajectory,
[00:29:20] but you need to measure acceleration
[00:29:23] very accurately, you know, I once talked
[00:29:26] to American missile engineers who develop minutemen,
[00:29:30] so they say that for ballistic intercontinental missiles,
[00:29:34] the accuracy of acceleration is up
[00:29:38] to the -12th degree, 11:00 before the digit,
[00:29:41] wow, huge accuracy, so in order for the missile
[00:29:45] to hit the target without additional guidance, you need to
[00:29:48] create a very, very good
[00:29:51] inertial system, but our missiles,
[00:29:54] the ones they are developing, most likely they
[00:29:58] will also have a guidance system at the final
[00:30:00] stage, that would be very convenient, because then
[00:30:04] the circular deviation would be measured in units
[00:30:08] of meters, we had such systems, we showed them
[00:30:11] at arms exhibitions before the war,
[00:30:15] but as for this missile, indeed, this
[00:30:18] missile was taken as a model, it seems, from the
[00:30:22] S-300 complex, just
[00:30:24] not 5V-55 or 48N6, I just can't
[00:30:28] remember now, so we took
[00:30:31] the same path as the Iranians,
[00:30:34] for example, and the North Koreans, by the way, the Iranians also took
[00:30:38] an anti-aircraft missile and gradually, gradually, gradually turned it
[00:30:41] into a ballistic, practically intercontinental, mhm, somewhere
[00:30:45] they added, somewhere they extended,
[00:30:48] and this missile has two, in total, based on the
[00:30:52] FP-7 missile, two missiles were created, the first
[00:30:55] is an analogue of the American Atacms,
[00:30:59] mhm, for hitting any targets.
