00:00:00we need to take
00:00:02their opinion into account, otherwise they will fight, well, in fact, even
00:00:06President Zelensky says, we will respond symmetrically to
00:00:10how Russia
00:00:11will act, this is this is a strange
00:00:14statement, well, this is also a question, either we respond
00:00:18symmetrically to them, or they respond symmetrically to us, in fact, our task
00:00:22is to make sure that they don't attack us,
00:00:25we don't need to respond to them symmetrically, non-symmetrically, we need to find
00:00:28such... branches that will prevent them from fighting further, that is,
00:00:32to bring their economy to its knees, their state to its knees and to do it in such a way that
00:00:36they do not rise as long as possible, so that they crawl on these
00:00:39knees, and then maybe they will leave us alone, because
00:00:43there are no other chances to believe that they will leave us alone in
00:00:47some real future, there are no such chances, well,
00:00:50they do not exist, well, and therefore, again, we return to
00:00:54the birthday boy, the birthday boy is simply an eloquent expression of all
00:00:57these, I would say...
00:01:02chauvinistic in Russia they would say "okhotnoryadchesky"
00:01:05tendencies, because there was Okhotny Ryad, it's a street in Moscow, I studied
00:01:09there, but when I didn't study there, before that
00:01:12there were meat shops in
00:01:15Okhotny Ryad, uh-huh, and these people who were in the meat shops, they are like
00:01:18people who supported Hitler in Germany, this is this social
00:01:22stratum, they were Black Hundreds, chauvinists, and they were ready to
00:01:26fight, well, you know, they knew how to work with an axe.
00:01:30so in our version,
00:01:33and
00:01:36they expressed all these chauvinistic
00:01:39popular sentiments, therefore these people were called, people like
00:01:43Putin, they would be called in Russia
00:01:44"okhotnoryadtsy",
00:01:47they were from this street Okhotny Ryad, and
00:01:50he is completely an exponent of
00:01:53this mentality, but no one said that the next Russian
00:01:55president will not be the same, because this is a popular
00:01:59mentality. Putin is just a person who
00:02:03expresses this popular mentality, and here
00:02:06the question is, his successor, who will be there someday,
00:02:10he will simply believe that Ukraine can be conquered
00:02:14by political, economic means, or it is necessary to fight further, this is all, this will be
00:02:18the dilemma that he will solve, just as
00:02:22Stalin's heirs, they were not going to continue the Korean
00:02:25war further, but they were going to confront the West differently, but this
00:02:28at least gave... a little respite to the West,
00:02:31for example, the same Estonia,
00:02:35at least, and
00:02:38still Estonia, I meant Finland of course, Finland, yes, well,
00:02:41and but, but I mean that we still have many
00:02:45examples in the 20th century, when one way or another
00:02:49death, it's early, it gave, opened some windows
00:02:52of opportunities, there are many examples from Franco
00:02:56to there and Salazar, to the same, after all, Stalin, after
00:02:59whom... the thaw, well, it began, but you see, all Russian
00:03:03thaws, unlike what happened after the death of Stalin and
00:03:06Salazar, it ended, well, and but there is the same North Korea,
00:03:10where in principle the death of a leader simply means the transfer
00:03:14of power by inheritance, but there is already actually a hereditary
00:03:16dynasty, here there is Lubyanka,
00:03:20so it can also turn out to be, conditionally speaking, a dynasty of a different
00:03:23nature, no one knows this to the
00:03:26end, well, that is, I have... a quite
00:03:30serious question, how much can we
00:03:34talk about what is happening
00:03:37with the Russian elite, and what it will be
00:03:40after Putin's departure, but now we need to think
00:03:43about how to live Russia with Putin's Russia, how
00:03:47much Putin's Russia
00:03:50is capable of backing away from the idea of war,
00:03:54but you see, is the current Russian system itself,
00:03:58which Putin built, is it not... over-centralized, well,
00:04:01this week we talked, in particular with the French
00:04:05young researcher Assin
00:04:07Clement Moline, who actually, what
00:04:11story happened now, if I understand correctly what
00:04:14happened, we now have a very successful offensive, which
00:04:18happened, among other things, also because Putin
00:04:22is constantly lied to about very great successes, and since they are constantly
00:04:25lying about great successes, then accordingly their units
00:04:29supposedly end up... on the maps already in completely different
00:04:32territories, accordingly this
00:04:35stretches all their logistics, because
00:04:39they somehow have to respond to what they declare, and simply makes them
00:04:42vulnerable at the front, that is, in fact, the lies that
00:04:46are built, they make them weak, but these are
00:04:49lies, all this performance is actually for one spectator, for
00:04:52Putin, and therefore his death perhaps should have had some
00:04:56certain consequences, well, again, this is...
00:05:01a conversation about some such things that can happen, maybe it will happen in 10 years,
00:05:04and the most important thing is different, are
00:05:07you sure that another person will want to receive truthful
00:05:10information about what is happening.
00:05:13The first candidate to receive truthful information should have been
00:05:16Putin himself. He is a career officer of the Federal Security Service of the Russian
00:05:20Federation, before that, the Committee of State Security of the USSR. Well, in principle, he
00:05:24didn't serve in the FSB, he served in the KGB. Uh-huh. All
00:05:27employees of the Committee for State Security of the USSR knew
00:05:30that the leadership only wanted such distilled information, that
00:05:34party workers do not like it when they are told
00:05:37the truth. This
00:05:41is quite important
00:05:44moment,
00:05:46which
00:05:49uh, one way or another, is connected
00:05:51with, uh-huh,
00:05:55a real,
00:05:58real, I would say,
00:06:01such a,
00:06:04turn in the situation
00:06:08of the Russian leadership, a person from the KGB comes, who knows
00:06:10that subordinates always lie, uh-huh, well, she should
00:06:14have told them: listen, I am not a party worker, I am not from
00:06:18Yeltsin's school, I am one of you, don't lie to me,
00:06:21but this is happening, well, simply Trump has his
00:06:24accounts, he clearly writes something there
00:06:27himself, I don't know, Medvedev has his accounts, Zelensky has his
00:06:31accounts, everyone has their accounts, Joe Biden, Putin, Putin
00:06:34is an old school person, he doesn't want to write in accounts, he rules
00:06:37the country differently, well, and the question is, in the 21st century, can you
00:06:40relevantly and... and understand what is happening
00:06:44if you are completely excluded from social networks, do you not then become
00:06:47an object of manipulation? Well, by the way, Trump writes in his
00:06:51accounts, right now Trump's new statement, I don't know
00:06:55if you saw it? Zelensky wants to create problems for the whole
00:06:58world, he could have ended the war many times. It's time for Ukraine
00:07:02to choose a new leader. Here are much
00:07:06more interesting
00:07:08statements.
00:07:14than
00:07:15the statement
00:07:18about barrels of oil, well, and here I just
00:07:22fantasize, if Roosevelt, for example, somewhere
00:07:25in the year forty says that Jews generally
00:07:28create a lot of problems for the world, they could have, well,
00:07:32for example, or Churchill, or Churchill, figure it out
00:07:35somehow,
00:07:39this is, this is, this is also, this is, this is new, actually, well, let's say
00:07:42this: Trump was offended by the
00:07:46Nobel Committee for not giving him the Nobel
00:07:49Prize and
00:07:52imposed sanctions against the International Criminal Court, because Navalny
00:07:56Oredka is a judge of the International Criminal
00:08:00Court.
00:08:02Now
00:08:04Zelensky said that it is a weak decision to negotiate with
00:08:08Putin about diesel. Trump was offended by Zelensky.
00:08:14Just yesterday he was saying how wonderful Zelensky is and so
00:08:17on, but now
00:08:20he is talking about a new leader
00:08:24of Ukraine, and this is actually the way to what, to
00:08:28a refusal, a refusal to help
00:08:31Ukraine, Ukraine says, what new leader, what are you even
00:08:34talking about, let's hold elections during a truce with Russia,
00:08:37in which there will be a new
00:08:41leader.
00:08:44Oh, so, you don't want a new leader, you don't want to listen to
00:08:47the United
00:08:48States,
00:08:54to be honest, recently international
00:08:58politics has been turning into some kind of really operetta of not very good
00:09:01quality, and I can only repeat what we have said many times,
00:09:05perhaps the problem is that the United States, despite the fact that they certainly
00:09:08have every right to consider themselves
00:09:11such a...
00:09:12we
00:09:16are a democratic-style democratic country for the world, but perhaps their system is simply outdated and we see
00:09:20that the system gives extremely great
00:09:23powers to one person, the winner of the elections,
00:09:27it, it, it seems in the 21st century simply works
00:09:30worse and worse, that's all I can say in this
00:09:34case, gentlemen, I think that perhaps we will now go for a short
00:09:38break and then continue, stay with
00:09:40us.

00:17:40information day with those you trust. Ukrainian
00:17:44focus morning. Every day on weekdays from 7:00 to 10:00 on Espresso.
00:18:06No matter how much Moscow tried to spread and affirm
00:18:09the myth that Russians and Ukrainians are one people, history
00:18:13says the opposite: every generation of Ukrainians from
00:18:17princely times to the present day in one way or another
00:18:20fought against Moscow. Here we will talk about five
00:18:23victories of the Ukrainian army over
00:18:26Muscovites. My name is Myroslav Vysochansky and this is
00:18:29the "Historical Fact" program on FM
00:18:32Galicia.
00:18:37At the beginning of the 16th century, Eastern Europe was an arena of many
00:18:41wars, in particular, the Moscow principality sought to expand
00:18:45its influence on the lands that were part of the Grand Duchy
00:18:48of Lithuania, Rus', and Samogitia. That was the name of
00:18:51the united state at that time, which included
00:18:54Lithuanian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian lands.
00:18:58In 1514, Moscow troops,
00:19:01after several weeks of siege, captured the city of
00:19:04Smolensk. Then Lithuania decided to respond with
00:19:07a campaign. Hetman Kostiantyn Ostrozky,
00:19:11a Ruthenian, that is,
00:19:14a Ukrainian prince from Volhynia, was entrusted with commanding
00:19:18the army. He was a representative of one of the most influential and
00:19:22wealthiest Orthodox dynasties of that time, which traced
00:19:25its lineage from the princes of Rus'.
00:19:29Under his command, a significant army gathered, which could reach
00:19:32over 20,000. Among the warriors were not only
00:19:36Lithuanians, but also a significant number of Ruthenians from
00:19:39Ukrainian lands, particularly from Volhynia, Kyiv region, and
00:19:43Podillia. Separate regiments were formed from Ruthenian, that is,
00:19:46Ukrainian gentry. The numerical strength
00:19:49of the Moscow army is also unknown, but everyone agrees that it had
00:19:53a significant numerical superiority. Some assume that
00:19:56there could have been as many as 80 thousand. Both armies
00:20:00met near the city of Orsha. Ostrozky,
00:20:03using his knowledge of the terrain, positioned his troops so
00:20:07as to... trap the Moscow regiments between the Dnieper
00:20:10and the swamps. Limiting their maneuver, the battle
00:20:14began with an artillery barrage.
00:20:17Lithuanian-Polish cannons had an advantage and inflicted
00:20:20heavy losses. Then heavy cavalry, including detachments
00:20:24of Ukrainian and Belarusian boyars, launched a flanking
00:20:27attack. The Hetman hid part of the troops in an ambush,
00:20:31striking at the decisive moment.
00:20:34Moscow regiments began to retreat to the crossing over
00:20:38the Dnieper, where panic turned into a complete catastrophe. The crossing
00:20:41was destroyed, many warriors died in the water, and
00:20:44the Moscow voivode and many boyars were taken
00:20:48prisoner.
00:20:52From princely times we move to Cossack times. The Battle of
00:20:55Konotop in 1659.
00:20:58After the death of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the young Ukrainian Cossack
00:21:02state experienced a period of instability, which historians
00:21:05later called the Ruin. Moscow sought to take advantage of this
00:21:09situation. First, it supported the anti-Hetman uprising
00:21:13of Pushker and Barbash in Poltava and on the Sich. But when
00:21:16Vyhovsky managed to suppress it, the Muscovites decided to launch
00:21:20an open large-scale war against Ukraine. The main forces
00:21:23of the opponents would meet in the area of the modern city of Konotop, in
00:21:27Sumy region. The Crimean
00:21:30Tatars became allies of the Hetman's troops. Initially, Vyhovsky's
00:21:33Cossacks repelled the attacks of the significantly
00:21:36superior Moscow army. And then, together with the Tatars,
00:21:39they launched a counterattack, destroying the main forces
00:21:43of the enemy. In the future, Russian historians would
00:21:45write that after these events, the tsar
00:21:49ordered the construction of defensive ditches around Moscow, and he
00:21:52himself was going to go beyond the Volga. To
00:21:56better understand the scale of the Ukrainian victory and
00:21:59the Moscow tragedy, it is worth listening to one
00:22:02of the quotes: the cavalry of Moscow, which
00:22:05had made successful campaigns
00:22:07in 1654-55,
00:22:09perished in one day, and never
00:22:13again after that was the Moscow Tsar
00:22:17able to lead into the field such a...
00:22:20large army. This is how Russian historians wrote about the Battle of Konotop
00:22:23in the 19th century, and then
00:22:27they decided that it was better not to mention it at all, because
00:22:31these events clearly do not fit into Russian
00:22:33propaganda, which constantly claims that
00:22:36Ukrainians wanted unity with their
00:22:40"brotherly" (in quotation marks) Russian people.
00:22:44The next victory took place after many centuries of occupation,
00:22:47when Ukrainians finally gained
00:22:51freedom. During the Ukrainian Revolution, a secret
00:22:54special operation of the UNR to de-occupy Crimea took place. In April
00:22:571918, Ukrainian troops carried out
00:23:01an impressive military maneuver. While diplomats were negotiating
00:23:04borders in Brest, the Bolsheviks occupied Crimea and began
00:23:07a bloody terror there. A part of
00:23:11the UNR troops, led by Bolbochan, received a secret
00:23:14verbal directive from Kyiv: to preempt
00:23:17the German allies and liberate the peninsula
00:23:20solely by Ukrainian forces. The key obstacle was
00:23:24the Chongar bridge. The Bolsheviks completely mined
00:23:27it, equipped artillery and concrete
00:23:30machine gun nests. But the Ukrainian colonel, Petro
00:23:33Bolbochan, devised a plan. A storming group
00:23:37on motor rail cars sped across the bridge at such
00:23:40speed that the enemy simply did not have time to blow up all the mines.
00:23:44The detachment instantly dispersed the guards and deactivated
00:23:47the explosives. Without a single fallen soldier, Chongar
00:23:50was in Ukrainian hands. The rapid offensive shocked
00:23:54both the Bolsheviks and the German allies.
00:23:57Within a few days, Bolbochan's Zaporozhians occupied
00:24:00Dzhankoi, Simferopol, and Bakhchysarai, where they were
00:24:03enthusiastically met by the local population, especially
00:24:07Crimean Tatars. And already on April 29,
00:24:10the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol raised the Ukrainian
00:24:14flag. This was a lightning victory of Ukrainian
00:24:17arms.
00:24:20From the times of the First World War, we move to the
00:24:23second. January 1945. Soviet authorities
00:24:26sent significant forces to storm the village of Kosmach in Ivano-Frankivsk
00:24:30region. This place was one of the main centers
00:24:34of the UPA. The Chekists decided to advance on the village from
00:24:37three directions. UPA hundreds held the defense, but
00:24:40later received an order to retreat to
00:24:43the mountains. However, a few hours later, the insurgents suddenly attacked
00:24:47the positions of the invaders. The UPA began to
00:24:51fire machine gun and mortar fire at the center of Kosmach. Fierce battles lasted three days,
00:24:55as a result of which the punitive forces found themselves in a tight
00:24:58encirclement. The NKVD ran out of supplies and ammunition,
00:25:02so to save the garrison, they sent a radiogram with
00:25:06a demand to immediately send reinforcements. It was decided
00:25:10to send a regiment under the command of Lieutenant Colonel
00:25:13Derhachov. Having intercepted this signal,
00:25:16the Ukrainian command learned in advance
00:25:20about the enemy's plans and ordered the fighters to block
00:25:22the Kolomyia-Kosmach road, the leadership was taken over
00:25:26by Myroslav Symchych, under the pseudonym
00:25:29Kryvonis. He carefully studied the terrain and
00:25:33chose an ideal position for an ambush. The UPA destroyed
00:25:37the bridge across the river, completely cutting off possible routes
00:25:40of retreat and maneuver for the Soviet punitive forces. In
00:25:44early February, a convoy of trucks, packed with
00:25:47military equipment and soldiers themselves,
00:25:50reached the destroyed crossing. Seeing the absence of a bridge,
00:25:54the equipment stopped, and at that moment, Symchych
00:25:58ordered to open fire. All
00:26:00ended with the rout of the column and... the elimination of a significant number of
00:26:04Chekist officers, including Lieutenant Colonel
00:26:08Dergachov. According to Myroslav
00:26:11Symchych's own memoirs, in this battle, over
00:26:15400 NKVD members were eliminated. However,
00:26:17due to the arrival of Soviet reinforcements, the insurgent company
00:26:21retreated. The UPA's own losses in this operation, according to
00:26:24various data, amounted to from three to 12
00:26:28soldiers. A few years later, Symchych was captured and
00:26:31spent a total of over 32 years in prison. In
00:26:352017, he was rehabilitated, and in
00:26:382022, he received the title of Hero
00:26:41of Ukraine. In total, the hero of the battle for Kosmach
00:26:44lived for 100 years and, despite his
00:26:48respectable age, until the very end, he yearned to go to the front
00:26:52of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
00:26:55Modernity. Although Ukrainians beat Muscovites in
00:26:58different eras, and in our time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine
00:27:02are... it seems, the best. One of
00:27:05the examples is the Slobozhanskyi counteroffensive in September 2022.
00:27:08This operation led to the liberation of Kharkiv Oblast from Russian
00:27:12occupiers. The success on the battlefield was preceded by extensive
00:27:15disinformation work. The Ukrainian command convinced
00:27:19the invaders that our main efforts would be
00:27:21focused on the south. At the same time, Kyiv
00:27:25was simultaneously coordinating new aid packages with
00:27:28partners. In particular, the appearance of American HIMARS at the front allowed
00:27:32for the destruction of the enemy's rear arsenals.
00:27:35The rapid operation in Kharkiv Oblast caught
00:27:38the Kremlin command by surprise and demonstrated
00:27:42the complete confusion of the occupation
00:27:45troops. Ukrainian military personnel covered dozens
00:27:48of kilometers per day, constantly pushing back the enemy. The main blow
00:27:52fell on key logistical hubs: Balakliia,
00:27:55Kupiansk, and Izium. Faced with
00:27:59inevitable encirclement, the enemy abandoned weapons and
00:28:02ammunition worth millions of dollars, escaping in
00:28:05a panicked flight. In a matter of days, the Ukrainian army
00:28:09de-occupied about 3800
00:28:12km and more than 300 villages and towns.
00:28:16In just one week, the blue and yellow flag was raised over
00:28:19Balakliia, Kupiansk, and Izium. During
00:28:23the Ukrainian offensive, elite enemy units suffered
00:28:26an irreparable defeat, including the famous
00:28:30Russian paratroopers. The list
00:28:32of Ukrainian victories over the Muscovite-Soviet occupiers
00:28:36can be continued for a long time. What is the value of
00:28:38Sahaidachnyi's campaign to Moscow or, for example, the Kurdish
00:28:42operation? But all these are victories in
00:28:45battles, and history must
00:28:48definitely be replenished with victory in the war.
