00:00:00occupied Fedorivka Druha and advanced towards Rai
00:00:03Oleksandrivka, whose defenders found themselves squeezed from
00:00:06both flanks. To the east of our fortified area, the enemy is gradually
00:00:10closing the last large pocket, thereby
00:00:13straightening the front and forming new vectors of
00:00:16attack, particularly on the villages of Orikhuvatka,
00:00:19Zapovidne, and most importantly, on the city of Mykolaivka, where the
00:00:23Sloviansk TPP is located. In Mykolaivka itself, regular
00:00:27small arms battles are already taking place. The enemy is breaking through again from both
00:00:31flanks, from the south and north. Separate assault groups
00:00:34have already tried to entrench themselves on the territory of the TPP,
00:00:37where they were destroyed. The trends are threatening, as
00:00:40Mykolaivka is a gateway for an offensive on Sloviansk. If
00:00:44the threat from Lyman was repelled, here it becomes increasingly
00:00:48obvious every week. Nevertheless, with a public
00:00:51statement, the head of the defense of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, Andriy Biletskyi,
00:00:55stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are able not only to hold
00:00:59the belt of fortified cities, but also
00:01:02to improve their positions here in anticipation of
00:01:05mobilization in Russia, since we will not see the results
00:01:08of mobilization on the front earlier than November,
00:01:11December, so it is likely that soon we will be able
00:01:15to observe a certain change in the logic of battles for cities,
00:01:18based on the types of troops that came here to
00:01:21reinforce the 11th Army Corps, so
00:01:25soon we will see how the new commander
00:01:28will resolve the crisis, which is the biggest of all
00:01:31others on the entire thousand-kilometer
00:01:35front. This was the program "Eastern Shield." We will talk about the main
00:01:39trends of the war, both on the front and in the rear,
00:01:42in a week.

00:03:49is expensive, because such blankets are indeed expensive, this
00:03:53is expensive, yes, they are an order of magnitude more expensive
00:03:56than with sintepon itself.

00:04:55clump, the height here, look, now I'll
00:04:59show you, look how thick it is, 4 cm,
00:05:034 cm, oh, how
00:05:06cool it is, and so you can spread it on the couch somewhere,
00:05:10next, next.
00:05:13This is called,
00:05:16now caravan, well, the
00:05:19chocolate one, look, it's as if bronze on this side,
00:05:23as if embroidered with gold, caravan, there's some
00:05:26chocolate here, it's also thick, thick,
00:05:30just a second, look at the height,
00:05:32and also densely filled,
00:05:36so you know, it won't sag, it's not only a blanket,
00:05:39you can spread it somewhere on the couch, on
00:05:43the bed, we have a lot of options for you,
00:05:46so this one is called flowers,
00:05:50gray wool, but gray is so, you know, light, this is how it looks,
00:05:53very light, great, you can wash it in the washing
00:05:57machine, don't be afraid, and the care for them
00:06:00just doesn't shed, they are hypoallergenic, and
00:06:04this one is, by the way, leaves, and look at the
00:06:07interesting wool, so purple, such
00:06:10deep, dark, rich. I would even say
00:06:13it's like a plum or some kind of eggplant
00:06:16color, so beautiful. Yes, yes.
00:06:20Next, behind my back now, I want to
00:06:23show you this, this is
00:06:27leaves with brown wool, some
00:06:31autumn leaves, and such dark colors
00:06:34of bitter chocolate, and at the same time look how they are stitched, these are
00:06:38quilted, quilted blankets, of course, they will
00:06:41not. clump,
00:06:44or get lumpy, so you don't have to worry
00:06:47that they will change their shape, this filling will be even,
00:06:50they are so stuffed, high, 4
00:06:54cm is the height of these blankets, this is a full mattress, this is a feather bed,
00:06:57excuse me, what a light one, it won't crush,
00:07:00you can sleep on this, and under this you can sleep, in summer,
00:07:04so you put it on top of the mattress,
00:07:07roll up, let's do this for sure, well, and from above and
00:07:10below, I actually slept like that, when my apartment, imagine,
00:07:14had zero temperature, I bought myself, bought another one, I
00:07:18lay on this blanket, and also covered myself, well
00:07:21and actually with my head, of course, but it was so
00:07:25warm that it was almost stuffy, not stuffy, you know, just
00:07:28so hot I overheated, they are very warm,
00:07:32these blankets are very cool in winter, well,
00:07:35I have a small apartment, I don't have mezzanines
00:07:38or any extra shelves and shelves to
00:07:41store all this. That's why in summer I sleep on
00:07:45these blankets, I only put the textile side down and
00:07:49just lie down, it's so soft to sleep on them, great, the blankets are wide,
00:07:52the blankets are high, I would even say, and very, very
00:07:56comfortable, the warmest of all that we have, and you save at least
00:07:591300 UAH on them, the off-air price will be 2,600,
00:08:03currently from 1299 UAH, hurry up to order and take care of yourselves,
00:08:07have a peaceful
00:08:08night.
00:08:21Espresso, together with the charitable foundation "Human and Law," ask you to join
00:08:25the fundraising effort. Wishing you good health, we are infantrymen of the second battalion
00:08:28of the 19th separate brigade of the Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We are fighting in the
00:08:32Pokrovsk direction. To effectively destroy the enemy, military
00:08:35equipment needs to be systematically charged. This is not always
00:08:39possible due to difficult conditions on the front line. We appeal to
00:08:42and readers of Espresso with a request to support the most important
00:08:46fundraising for military charging stations. Velstrum stations
00:08:49are designed specifically for military needs and are fully adapted to
00:08:53military operations, capable of replacing generators and providing
00:08:57fighters with energy even in field conditions. These silent and
00:09:00powerful charging stations are necessary for performing combat
00:09:04missions. Every donated hryvnia will allow us to quickly
00:09:07deliver these much-needed devices to our defenders. Thank you for
00:09:11your understanding.
00:09:34Hello, you are watching the Saturday Hello Club with Vitaliy Portnikov. My name is
00:09:37Andriy Saichuk, Mr. Vitaliy, I hope you are joining us too, Mr. Vitaliy,
00:09:41I greet you.
00:09:45Hello, Mr. Andriy. Let's start, probably,
00:09:48with the topic of war. This week we have had many attacks on
00:09:52the railway. In general, statistics have been published, according to which
00:09:56about 40 locomotives are destroyed by Russia per
00:09:59month. And this week the attacks were
00:10:02very close to the so-called diplomatic trains.
00:10:06I am sure that they probably do not announce them in any way, and maybe there is
00:10:10some kind of information exchange even with the aggressor, nevertheless,
00:10:13these were very dangerous attacks, for
00:10:16example, in Yahodyn, a
00:10:19Russian Federation drone hit a locomotive, exactly when the train
00:10:23carrying Johnson and Bildt, i.e., former
00:10:27prime ministers of Great Britain and Sweden, was passing. Also,
00:10:31former CIA head David Petraeus
00:10:32was practically hastily
00:10:35evacuated in another story, meaning that
00:10:39Russia is hitting trains where
00:10:41European or American former
00:10:44high-ranking officials could be harmed
00:10:47or even killed. Are these, in your opinion,
00:10:50conscious acts?
00:10:52Well, I think that in a
00:10:55situation where we are discussing the transformation
00:10:59of life in Ukraine into
00:11:01constant attacks
00:11:04by Russian ballistic missiles,
00:11:07Russian jet
00:11:11drones, the fact that the Russians are hitting
00:11:14trains fits into this
00:11:17picture: the attempt to make the lives of Ukrainians
00:11:21unbearable, the attempt to
00:11:24isolate Ukraine from the outside world, it
00:11:28seems to me, much more important is the fact
00:11:31that Russia systematically hits border
00:11:34crossings, and it happened on the border with the Republic of Moldova,
00:11:38and it happened on the border with Poland this
00:11:41week, and this is the main
00:11:44goal. As for
00:11:48the fact that in the trains leaving
00:11:51Ukraine, there may be people who
00:11:54previously held high positions
00:11:57in their countries, it is unlikely
00:12:00that this corresponds to the safety
00:12:03protocol, because I
00:12:07assume that when some
00:12:11current Western leaders visit
00:12:13Ukraine, there may be certain
00:12:16messages, although I am not sure about
00:12:19this, to Moscow, that such a visit
00:12:22is taking place, although I will remind you that there was a situation
00:12:26when a Russian drone exploded
00:12:29in close proximity to the motorcade of Greek Prime Minister
00:12:33Mitsotakis in Odesa, it
00:12:35also happened, and his position, as we see, also did not
00:12:38protect him, well, as for the fact that people who were once
00:12:42figures in Western
00:12:44politics, to specifically be interested
00:12:48in the trains in which they travel, well, that
00:12:52seems to me a very big exaggeration, to put it mildly.
00:12:55There was an attack on a train with active
00:12:59national security advisors from European countries,
00:13:03as far as I understand, who were returning from
00:13:06Ukraine, because they
00:13:09participated in that meeting with
00:13:12Verhofstadt and, who
00:13:14first visited Moscow, then visited Kyiv, and
00:13:17there were Europeans, as you remember, there were reports that this
00:13:21train could have been hit by shelling, but
00:13:25again, we don't know how much the shelling and schedules
00:13:28coincide in terms of Russians receiving
00:13:31information, you understand that when shelling happens, when
00:13:35certain trains stop, and other trains stop behind them,
00:13:38it creates a certain degree of
00:13:41chaos, which also needs to be remembered,
00:13:44that here it's not particularly easy to track,
00:13:47so the figures of Boris Johnson or Carl Bildt are unlikely to be the main
00:13:51topic in this situation,
00:13:55but the main topic is first and foremost the attempt to isolate
00:13:58Ukraine from its neighbors. This is indeed
00:14:02alarming. Well, and generally these talks about Russia preparing
00:14:06many diversions and carrying
00:14:09them out now in Europe, there are also some mysterious deaths, just
00:14:13now, for example, two leaders of the Ukrainian diaspora in two
00:14:17European countries, almost simultaneous,
00:14:20also we have the statement
00:14:24of Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone that the Russian Federation is preparing
00:14:28an attack on the eastern flank,
00:14:31we have extremely high activity of Russian
00:14:34drones near military bases in Great
00:14:38Britain and so on, so there are many, many signals,
00:14:41and what do they indicate, can
00:14:45Russia really dare to make some very
00:14:48serious provocations, and what pushes it to
00:14:51this? Well, we have talked about this repeatedly.
00:14:56There is an absolute logic of event
00:14:59development that can be traced practically from
00:15:032024
00:15:06from the presidential elections in the United States
00:15:09of America, when the Russians obviously had
00:15:12hopes,
00:15:14real hopes that
00:15:17they would
00:15:19succeed
00:15:22in resolving the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war after the change of government
00:15:26in the United States, because they believed that the new president of the United States would
00:15:29negotiate with Putin, stop supporting
00:15:33Ukraine, and not act like his
00:15:35predecessor, you remember that Donald Trump generally
00:15:39promised to end the war quickly, and the Russians could hope that this
00:15:42end would be precisely
00:15:44connected
00:15:46with
00:15:49concessions in their favor, well, and
00:15:52even if there are no concessions, the mere absence of American aid would force
00:15:56Ukraine to capitulate. These were all the hopes for 2025,
00:16:00which did not
00:16:02end in anything serious and
00:16:06positive. And in 2026,
00:16:09something began that Russia could not have expected at all:
00:16:13attacks on the territory of the Russian
00:16:15Federation itself. You see that this very
00:16:19year, we certainly
00:16:22should not call it a turning point in the war, as it was in the first months
00:16:26when these attacks appeared,
00:16:29but it changed the war significantly,
00:16:33that is, now the economy of the Russian Federation itself suffers,
00:16:36its own security. In the Russian Federation, this
00:16:39is serious. And here the question arises, you analyze why this
00:16:43did not happen. Why our
00:16:45plan for Trump's victory in the US elections and the collapse of Ukraine turned out to be
00:16:49futile. Maybe Ukraine holds on so well?
00:16:53No. Europeans help it. It turned out
00:16:57that Europeans are ready to help
00:17:00Ukraine much more than they helped when
00:17:04Americans helped. Then the aid
00:17:07was based on Americans,
00:17:10now it is based on Europeans, so what do we need
00:17:13to do, force Europeans to stop
00:17:16helping,
00:17:19convince society in Europe that
00:17:22aid to Ukraine is a blow to their own security, create
00:17:26an atmosphere of danger there, pour
00:17:28gasoline, if speaking the words of
00:17:32Russian Chekists, that's exactly how they characterized their actions
00:17:35in eastern Ukraine in 2014.
00:17:37In
00:17:39fact,
00:17:42all these sabotages, all this hybrid
00:17:46warfare, all these appearances of
00:17:49drones in the airspace of European countries,
00:17:52and they very often have a clearly expressed
00:17:56pre-election nature, all these actions. I will remind you that
00:17:59recently there were elections in the German
00:18:02state of Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right
00:18:06party "Alternative for Germany" triumphed, whose
00:18:09leaders do not conceal
00:18:13either their desire to stop helping Ukraine, or their desire
00:18:17to restore ties with Russia, or their desire to again receive Russian
00:18:20gas, cheap, they
00:18:23don't just talk about it openly, they hold
00:18:27meetings with the same Kirill Dmitriev,
00:18:30that is, they have such intentions, they have such plans, this is exactly
00:18:34the party that can suit Putin, and what
00:18:37happens? On the eve of these elections in Saxony,
00:18:40Anhalt, and by the way, elections in another East German state,
00:18:44Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a whole fireworks
00:18:47of sabotage takes place in East
00:18:49Germany.
00:18:52We can assume that these acts of sabotage convince voters
00:18:56of Alternative for Germany and similar political forces that they should
00:18:59vote for those political parties that are ready to fight
00:19:03Russia, but we have our own experience, how
00:19:07our voter always tried to vote for someone who
00:19:11would negotiate with Putin,
00:19:13always, the idea that this person would negotiate with
00:19:17Moscow was a guiding star
00:19:21during any voting there, with the exception,
00:19:24perhaps, of the 2004
00:19:27elections.
00:19:29Here's your answer to the question
00:19:32why the East German voter,
00:19:36and there a huge number of people lived in
00:19:39a similar regime to the Soviet Ukrainian
00:19:42for decades, should react differently,
00:19:46the Russians are counting on this, that
00:19:48they will show voters in the territory of the former German
00:19:51Democratic Republic how
00:19:54risky it is to cast their vote for those who want confrontation with
00:19:57the Kremlin, they are succeeding, I asked
00:20:01myself the question, how will the decision of the German
00:20:04government to accuse
00:20:08Russia of organizing sabotage at Leipzig
00:20:12airport affect the mood of German
00:20:16voters in the state elections, will
00:20:20they understand the danger of Russia, or on the contrary, will they
00:20:23take it even
00:20:24more
00:20:27seriously if someone promises them to negotiate with Putin. The
00:20:31second option happened, almost expected.
00:20:35Valeriy Zaluzhnyy wrote about this, by the way, in a new article where he
00:20:38says that the fear of nuclear escalation, nuclear weapons,
00:20:42paralyzed our allies at the beginning of the war. Putin still
00:20:45hopes that this fear will paralyze European society,
00:20:49and such people as
00:20:51Merz will sooner or later be
00:20:55replaced by more, let's say, loyal
00:20:59politicians to him, or
00:21:02is he mistaken again in his assessments
00:21:04in reality?
00:21:07Well, you know, I don't know how much this is a fear of nuclear weapons as
00:21:10such, maybe it's a fear of war,
00:21:14well, people generally tend to be afraid
00:21:17of war, and they look for
00:21:20opportunities to prevent
00:21:23this war,
00:21:25and they very often grasp at some
00:21:28straw that seems to them a sufficiently
00:21:31serious tool to avoid trouble. Well,
00:21:35listen, again, why are we discussing Europeans, let's
00:21:39discuss Ukrainians. We have many people
00:21:43who believe that if we concede the territories
00:21:46of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the war
00:21:49will end, because that's what Putin says,
00:21:53uh-huh,
00:21:56our government is unconstructive, because for the sake of a few cities in
00:21:59Donbas, it agrees to
00:22:02the destruction
00:22:04of other Ukrainian cities, that is, these people honestly believe that
00:22:08Putin has been waging this war for 4.5
00:22:10years, agreed to huge Western
00:22:14sanctions, the deaths of thousands of his
00:22:18compatriots, spending billions on this war
00:22:21solely to get to Kramatorsk, and as
00:22:25soon as he gets to Kramatorsk, all his
00:22:28interest in Ukraine will end, he doesn't need
00:22:31Ukraine anymore, why, only because these people don't live in
00:22:34Kramatorsk, and they
00:22:37think that if Putin is satisfied with Kramatorsk, then
00:22:40he will no longer have any claims
00:22:44to their city, he will have no interest,
00:22:47why would he, relatively speaking,
00:22:50go to Odesa and even more to Zhytomyr
00:22:54or
00:22:58Ternopil, he has no such interest, he only needs Donetsk,
00:23:02they believe in that, and Putin helps them believe in it
00:23:05when he says that the capture of Donetsk region will be
00:23:08an indispensable condition for negotiations, he doesn't even say for peace, he
00:23:11says for negotiations, in principle he promises these people nothing real, as always,
00:23:15but they are ready to believe, they grab onto these
00:23:18words of the Russian leader, again, not
00:23:22for the first time, and these are people who live in war, who
00:23:25saw that Putin sent his troops to Kyiv and to
00:23:29Chernihiv, and not just to Donetsk,
00:23:32who in principle should not be deceived by this whole story,
00:23:35but they want to believe in the unrealistic, because this unrealistic,
00:23:38at least in their dreams, deprives them of rocket attacks,
00:23:42arrivals, drones, deaths, suffering, and
00:23:45they believe in information convenient for them. Very often people, under the influence of such
00:23:51convenient information, arranged revolutions,
00:23:55coups, agreed to the terms
00:23:58of the enemy, and then happily died
00:24:01with their families in mass graves. How are Europeans
00:24:05different? They are also people, they can
00:24:07believe
00:24:10that Russia is only interested in
00:24:13Ukraine,
00:24:16or perhaps in the former Soviet republics, well, that was generally
00:24:19Russia. You ask a average European what that
00:24:23was at all, it was Russia, a huge number of people in Europe, the vast
00:24:26majority, still do not distinguish, especially, Ukraine from Russia, well, maybe someone
00:24:30thinks that Ukrainians are more free than Russians, so to
00:24:33speak, well, they were more free, they will become less free, they will sort
00:24:37it out without us, let them sort it out
00:24:40themselves, well, we did not make much distinction
00:24:44in Ukraine between Castilians and Catalans in Spain, and
00:24:48when Catalonia declared
00:24:51independence
00:24:54from Spain, even if it was illegitimate for three days, we considered it separatism, it's generally Spanish, although
00:24:58Catalans themselves may not consider themselves Spanish, but what do we care,
00:25:02we need peace in Spain, so we can vacation there,
00:25:05hypothetically, if we talk about the average European, even about
00:25:09a pre-war Ukrainian, why do we need any problems in
00:25:12Barcelona, we want to live
00:25:15peacefully, well, excuse me, for the average
00:25:18European, Barcelona and is much closer than Ukraine, with its
00:25:22problems, most Europeans learned about Ukraine only when we
00:25:26started being bombed, for an ordinary
00:25:29citizen, it's just a continuation of Russia, some
00:25:32ordinariness, I'm not even talking about an ordinary American, the fact that
00:25:36people started distinguishing,
00:25:39this is already an event of the last few years, not
00:25:42decades,
00:25:44because for them it was clear that the Soviet Union collapsed, what is the Soviet Union,
00:25:48Russia collapsed, well, it collapsed, as it collapsed, so it can
00:25:50gather, and this is not the first time this has happened, when
00:25:54there was a war in Yugoslavia, most people in Europe perceived it the same way,
00:25:57well, there was Yugoslavia, it collapsed, they are fighting there,
00:26:01what do we have to do with it? So that nothing happens to us, so that this
00:26:04war does not spread to our
00:26:06lands,
00:26:09that's all, and here some European politicians
00:26:12like Merz appear, who say no, you don't understand, we won't avoid
00:26:15war, it will come to our lands, what a horror, and there are
00:26:19people who say, listen, they are deceiving you to profit from the
00:26:23military-industrial complex, so that you paid more
00:26:25taxes, or spent more
00:26:29money,
00:26:32and people... start to wonder: why did I start paying 50%
00:26:35taxes? What happened? Why are gas prices
00:26:39so high? And Trump said why? Because Ukraine is attacking
00:26:42Russia. Who can really vote for some
00:26:46normal person who does not speculate on such things, does not speculate on
00:26:50war. And this person
00:26:53will help peace. Well, let them
00:26:56conquer this Ukraine and calm down and there will be peace. Simple logic, I
00:27:00think. Gabrielius Landsbergis,
00:27:04Lithuanian politician, former Minister of Foreign Affairs,
00:27:08he said recently that Europe will defeat
00:27:11Russia in any case, but the question is where exactly, whether in
00:27:15Ukraine, or in Poland, or even in
00:27:18Berlin, and I think that Lithuanian politicians,
00:27:21the Baltic countries in general, have always had a sober, very
00:27:25clear, crystal-clear perspective when looking at Russian,
00:27:29imperial ambitions after the 90s.
00:27:33Is this opinion still prevailing, or
00:27:37do Europeans, the establishment, still understand that, that in Ukraine
00:27:41this war must be won, if they don't, well, we have a statement,
00:27:45for example, from Radek Sikorski, who was Minister of Defense, was Deputy
00:27:48Minister of Defense, a person who knows what the armed forces
00:27:52of Poland are, who said quite, I don't know, dismissively, that
00:27:56Poland would easily defeat Russia if it came to an open
00:28:00conflict.
00:28:05Again, in what parameters would this conflict
00:28:07take place?
00:28:11Donald Trump probably would have thought
00:28:12that
00:28:15the United States would easily defeat Iran, right?
00:28:17He told us about it countless times.
00:28:21And at Donald Trump's disposal,
00:28:24if we talk about the United States and Iran, forces that cannot even
00:28:28be compared to
00:28:31the forces that Poland has. Poland wants to have an American
00:28:34military base, not America, not America Poland,
00:28:37right? And then it turned out that in modern
00:28:41warfare, all this power is not
00:28:44worth that much, actually.
00:28:48Well, look,
00:28:50really, what about this power?
00:28:54Now the United States reports that they
00:28:57are delaying the supply of modern weapons to their European
00:29:00allies, including. And Poland
00:29:02probably, somewhere up to 5 years for certain
00:29:06nomenclature, up to 5 years the United States is going to
00:29:09replenish its stockpiles of weapons, already depleted in one
00:29:13single miserable war, excuse me, with
00:29:15Iran,
00:29:17where the United States controls the sky, controls
00:29:20the sky, but there are no missiles.
00:29:24Now let's imagine the optimistic
00:29:27words of the Polish Foreign Minister regarding
00:29:30the victory over Russia, this is... the question is where to
00:29:34achieve this victory, so let's imagine
00:29:38a real Russian-Polish war only
00:29:41without an army, when such a swarm
00:29:45of drones appears in the sky of Poland, will attack
00:29:48Polish strategic
00:29:51objects, what should Poland do in
00:29:54response, probably attack Russian,
00:29:57right,
00:30:00or still activate Article Five. And ballistic missiles will immediately
00:30:04arrive from Russia, not just
00:30:06drones, but how will Russian ballistic missiles
00:30:10fly to Poland, to
00:30:12Poland,
00:30:14from what distance, from the Kaliningrad region, well,
00:30:18in principle, yes, unless through, unless Ukraine remains in such a case
00:30:21a buffer, well, I think Sikorski still meant some worse
00:30:25situations, when it means that ballistic missiles will already
00:30:28fly from the Russian Yavoriv training ground.
00:30:32Well, you see how important Ukraine is for Poland, because
00:30:36if Russia occupies Ukraine and
00:30:40ballistic missiles fly over the eastern regions of Poland, that's a completely different story
00:30:43than just jet drones, right? Of course. The drone still has
00:30:47to fly through Ukraine. Well, okay, we're just
00:30:51purely theoretically analyzing this situation. So it all
00:30:54flew. Poland is unlikely to respond immediately, but
00:30:58activates NATO's Article Five.
