You are listening to a Podhoc podcast — a platform where anything can be turned into a Podcast to Learn in Motion.
This is Elon Musk. He told Zelensky that, well, I can do it, turn on the side of Russia, if Trump tells me. Zelensky came to Trump and Trump refused. He locked himself up, drank hard, locked himself in his cabin and did not go out for several days. This is how an immoral, inhuman ideology lives inside a person and then suddenly wakes up after many years. I have a suspicion that something is being prepared there in the center's group. Once Ivan Ivanovich came there, some kind of offensive, I don't know what, but something should happen there.
As you can see, we are opening the summer season this month. We will shoot a little in nature, continuing an experiment from last year. We recorded at the dacha, and you even wrote to us that it was successful. This time, we decided to repeat it because we are constantly asked about shooting at the dacha. I am glad to welcome everyone who has joined us now. Traditionally, I remind you that all relevant comments are welcome to the Telegram channel.
Well, our special thanks to everyone who supports us on Boosty. And to everyone who today, in the process of watching this issue, decides that they can help us materially. Thank you. We will start, as always, with a message about the capture of settlements. This time, the grouping of troops in the north was distinguished.
In the Sumy region, this is Ryzhovka, Magritsa, and Malaya Slobodka. In the Kharkov region, Yurchenkovo, Verovka, Olgovka, Baksheevka, Ustinovka, and Bely Kolodez, which have been mentioned more than once. In the DPR, the settlements are Krasnoyarskaya and Stenka. And in Zaporozhskaya, Lyubitskaya and Zarnitsa.
As for the maps, the position of the parties and how we assess the theater of hostilities, here a lot depends on the assessment of the command. They declare that they have taken some settlements, and in many of them, the battles continue, although in principle, there were no battles there before. It seems that Russian troops went there, and at some point, the command thinks that it is already possible to declare that it is occupied.
I have a suspicion that there is some kind of balance in the computer, that from some point on, the number of occupied houses or the excess of manpower that went there over the Ukrainian one, the settlement is considered under the control of the Russian army. Otherwise, how to explain this is impossible. Friends, we continue to talk about the battles there.
Just recently, they were still raging in Raya Aleksandrovka, although it was already declared occupied, God knows when. This is fair for a very large number of settlements, which you called even today. To the northeast of the White Well, a rather large pocket was formed, measuring at least 350 square kilometers, or even 400.
There are actually very few soldiers of the Air Force there, I mean that in the reports from the front, there are numbers of 500-600 people. Right on such a large plot, this is just a reflection of modern tactics. If everything is fully provided for you by drones, then in order to close such a large piece, such a quantity is enough for you.
But if now the Russian troops cut off this pocket, cut it off, the supply will be sharply complicated, although it will be possible to supply with drones, you will have to leave. In principle, you can leave now. This pocket for the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not give anything, nothing at all.
Not from the point of view of any future actions, attacks, and so on, not from the point of view of air control. It turns out that this is already half a bridgehead; you have to take care of its maintenance, and so on. Take care that there are no excessive losses among the personnel. That is, in principle, you can leave.
But the problem is a large area. And in front of the allies, first of all, of course, in front of Trump, it is necessary to show that there is an organized anti-terrorist defense. And in general, purely for political reasons, I think that there will still be fights here to the last, even in the most inconvenient configuration. There will still be.
Already a painfully large piece. But in general, this is, of course, an episode. We draw our attention to Kupinsk. Well, from the point of view of operational control, the city is practically taken, but the fights are no longer in the center, but in the north and west of the city. The most fierce ones are constantly on the rise.
That is, there is no need to talk about real control. Nevertheless, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not count on anything; they just don't have enough strength. Why? The main problem in the USSR, in this particular region, in Kupinsk, is that a lot of forces have been transferred to other areas as reserves.
There are no operational reserves in the depths of the front. They take a lot from here to the north and not only to the north. And all this is now the care of the new commander, Drapatov. But, in general, by and large, there are no such active battles there because the Ukrainian army just crawled over the river.
And the Russian army is trying to create a new bazaar. Well, not to create, but to expand it. The new bazaar is already far to the west of the river. Closer to the area of main hostilities lies Liman, which you have not mentioned for a long time. Despite the fact that this is the main city on the way to Slavyansk.
Yes, which blocks the operational direction to Slavyansk from the north. But the situation there is as follows: the movement of Ukrainian troops continues through the Ridkodub for free, again. That is, in a very inconvenient configuration, the Ukrainians are moving forward with supply problems. Nevertheless, they continue to move to the Ridkodub.
And, in general, as I have already said, in fact, the assault on Liman, not an assault, but the complete possession of Liman, has been postponed for at least two months. The threat of the direct encirclement of the 20th Russian Army at this retreat to the Ridkodub has passed. Now they don't even think about it.
At least there are no such comments from the front. But at the same time, we must remember that on June 4, during Putin's visit to the front, Gerasimov reported that the Russian troops had mostly completed the operation to take possession of Krasny Liman. In Russian tradition, it is called Krasny Liman, the Ukrainian map of Liman. A person assumes, and the Lord disposes.
There are all sorts of cases. In war, the commander always faces the will of another commander, and it is not known how the situation will turn. This is a confrontation. Well, as they say, sitting at the chessboard, you have to understand who is sitting against you. For myself, I would just like to note that before the solution of this problem with the offensive from the Ridkodub, in the rear of the 20th Army, the capture of Liman was postponed.
Supposedly, you are going on a trip outside of Russia; you need to pay for a hotel, book a car, buy a ticket. But how to pay for all this if the Russian map does not work? Or maybe you are not going anywhere, but just want to store some of your savings on a foreign account? Or pay for a subscription to a foreign service?
All these tasks have become much more difficult in recent years. But we still have a simple way to solve them: to register a foreign bank account.

The Slavyansk troops are moving through Nikolaevka, where the power plant is. It can be turned into a stronghold for the accumulation of drone operators, accumulation of troops, etc. This is an important point on the way to Slavyansk. The USSR defends it with all its might and demolishes the city of Nikolaevka, literally.
And little will remain of it. I think that there is not much time left before the occupation of Nikolaevka, in fact, already, because there the small Russian groups enter freely enough to the middle of the city. What is the entrance of small groups? If they are not so intelligent, that's how the storm of the city looks like now.
According to the new tactics, the movement to Kramatorsk—I don't even want to call it an offensive, just about the movement to Kramatorsk—in order to get behind the city blocks and start penetrating there. The movement to Kramatorsk goes through Vasyutinskaya. This is already a nearby settlement.
There are already maps that show 4 kilometers distance to Kramatorsk. I think not, still 7 kilometers. But it's still very close. 7 kilometers is the maximum range of the mortar; artillery is already freely shelling Kramatorsk. So it means that they are already bombing?
All over. Cabs? And cabs. All of them. That is, Kramatorsk is completely in the control zone, not just a means of long-range fire, but regimental artillery, literally. And Vasyutinskaya, of course, is a very important point. This is the last point before the urban development where you can accumulate and rush.
Where there will be soldiers later. Yes, because of this, too, in Vasyutinskaya, as in the north, and in Nikolaevka, there are desperate battles. It is also demolished literally by cabs, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine clung to it and hold on as they can. What is the point of demolishing it, if urban development should, on the contrary, help to hide?
Later. Of course. I agree. But in order not to lose their soldiers. But it turns out more rationally: first, just destroy everything, all possible shelters. What kind of Ukrainian army there is. Ukrainian soldiers are not sitting there either; they don't wave flags. Everything is hidden there, you know.
The maximum damage of such a tactic, hidden deployment of troops, it is applied in small settlements. It is corrected by bombs; because of this, hell is happening there, and the Ukrainian army, clenching its teeth, holds on as long as it can. In fact, of course, it won't last long; there will still be a retreat from there, I think so, from Vasyutinskaya, as long as there are no fresh reserves.
And by the way, the number of hits corrected by bombs—this is a direct indicator of the importance that Gerasimov pays to this point. Well, I mean Vasyutinskaya. If there is really such a number of bombs falling, this means that the direction of the main blow. The movement to Druzhkovka from the opposite side, through the valley of the river where the Krasny Kut is located, it has completely stopped now.
And from the side of Alexeeva-Druzhkovka too. That is, troops have already entered Alexeeva-Druzhkovka. Everything. There are already city battles inside. The situation is already similar to the one that it was in Konstantinovka. Everything is already simple. In Alexeeva-Druzhkovka, according to modern terms, a storm may have begun.
But it is very dangerous to wedge into the territory of the enemy, too far, in a narrow language, because it is shot through from all sides, and you need to provide flanks. That is, to expand, to move your sides. And to the south it was possible. But in the north, where Afyar is now, in the north of Druzhkovka, the battles continue.
In order to force the Armed Forces of Ukraine to completely leave the last houses on the outskirts of Afyar. I am already saying that there is literally some kind of company left there. How much time has already passed, and they are holding on, and their supply is carried out by drones. The Dobropolsk direction. What is it interesting about?
There is now a new commander, Ivanaev. And on that part of the front, which was entrusted to him by the group of the center, this is the main direction of the blow which was chosen by the previous commander. Where the most important battles are going. These battles go in the direction of the Dobropol, to the point where everything came together.
This is the settlement of Vodyanskoye. Between Vodyansk and Dobropol, a pocket was also formed which, in principle, can be cut off. This is what the battles are going for. There, in this pocket, there is a terricon. When the miners throw the coal out of the rock, coal in one direction and it is taken away by the railway, and the empty rock is not coal.
It is thrown off with a special device, it is thrown off and thrown off and thrown off. It turns out to be artificial NASA. This is just the result of the waste of the mine's activities over many, many years. It grows, grows, grows. This is a terricon. This is the height. It is very convenient to control drones with it.
And everything that you want is shot down, control the troops, place observation posts. After this terricon is occupied, something will be decided there. Now this terricon is in the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Two words about terricons in general: this is a feature of Donbass, this is a feature that is not found anywhere else in the world.
There were no battles in such mining areas, and here is not a mine, but a terricon. The steppe is flat, and then this mountain. And in Gorlovka, on the mine named after Gagarin, the terricon is 200 meters high. You can imagine, like a mountain. But when we go along the route, apparently there is an artificial embankment, on which the anti-aircraft complex Pantsir stands.
They made an embankment for it; it already looks impressive. But in fact, it's only 20 meters there. And imagine 200 meters of the mountain. For many years, the miners poured a giant one. And from it opens a direct operational space; everything is visible. For these terricons, there is a fight to a significant extent.
They constantly fight it; they became, by circumstances, the leading heights all over the place. And they will end up practically on this terricon. There is still a steppe in the area of Rodenskoye. Further, towards the Dnieper, in my opinion, just a steppe. A second about Dobropol. Just explain the main directions.
This is Druzhkov, Koslovensk, Krasmatorsk. At the same time, you say that Dobropol is the main section of the Wozzeck Center group. Yes. Why? If it is possible to develop an offensive there and move to the north, then Dobropol will immediately close the whole problem of this Krasnoye Kut, the advance to Druzhkovka.
This is a very powerful bypass maneuver to the rear of Kramatorsk, not Druzhkovka, directly to Kramatorsk. Well, such a long perspective, but in general, the most important direction, which the Ukrainian command does not see as dangerous. That is why they put very powerful forces there. And they reflect all the attacks of the armed forces in Russia, no matter how many there were in the last three months.
The advance is very slow; it is, but very slow. Precisely because of such a tactical danger of the chosen direction of the blow itself. I will reveal a secret: Tyumen Keis-Guru technology is produced in China, where 90% of the production of world electronics is concentrated. Why then is it written on the boxes of Keis-Guru technology that it is made in Tyumen?
In Tyumen, engineers think over the characteristics and test the device, and in China, they scale the production. The head of the Keis-Guru company, Vadim Bokov, nicknamed the Tyumen Elon Musk, personally controls the development. Vadim released an innovative technique for cleaning in the old-fashioned way, without chemicals, but with the orientation of the standard medical frequency.
Earlier, after cleaning the floors, my back hurt; now you can quickly get rid of muscle fatigue with a wireless vacuum cleaner Turbosil. This novelty of Keis-Guru is a record combination of duration, work, and power. Due to the high suction power, it can clean furniture up to 10 cm deep.
Our mothers and grandmothers washed the floors by hand; today this is done by a robot vacuum cleaner from the Keis-Guru self-cleaning station. The Tyumen self-cleaner produces dry and wet cleaning, cleans itself at the station, and is filled with water. Through the built-in vacuum chamber, you can observe the house from any part of the city.
To quickly, effectively, and safely clean the windows, the robot-vacuum cleaner Keis-Guru Chistobot will come in handy. It washes 20 types of surfaces, horizontal and vertical. Follow the link in the description or the QR code on the screen to choose an innovative device Keis-Guru for cleaning. And take the promo code SHIR07 for a discount of up to 1000 rubles.
The commanding group of the Eastern Front has changed, including, well, about this a little later, but what is the situation now, over the past week? Well, there, in his place, the head of the headquarters stepped in. The Russian army was not able to knock it out of the country to the end; there are still Russian troops there.
City battles are going on; it is impossible to declare it as a place completely occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But, I say, the offensive of the Ukrainian army continues in the East, at least the pressure, tactical pressure, on the wide front up to 30 kilometers. The new commander, who, of course, is familiar with this situation, he commanded the headquarters in this place, he knows everything.
It will be necessary to solve this problem, because apparently they do not give him special reserves, and from the Ukrainian side, reserves are constantly coming. And this is directly recorded by the sources, and calls the numbers of the units, and so on, which turn out to be not whole brigades, but battalions, there, in a break—up, what is called, scattered peas, yes.
Nevertheless, the group is constantly replenished, and, well, such a confrontation. I think that this is the main operational direction of the Ukrainian army. And although the task, as I said, of going straight to the Crimea, it is still unsolvable, nevertheless, the nearest task is to go to the rear of the Vostok group, which is advancing, that part of it that is advancing to Orekhov, fraught even with full encirclement.
Even so, at least with a blow to the rear, with a blow to the back. And, of course, until that moment, until the new commander does not solve this issue, does not stop this offensive, does not align the line, the zone of mutual control in the same position, I think that there is no prospect of an offensive on Orekhov.
This is strategic defense with elements of active defense in its pure form, right in front of us, as it is implemented by the army, with counterattacks, approaches to the rear, and so on. They can't win, but they managed to stop the enemy. Here, of course, viewers may ask, but what is the further goal? Well, they stopped, and then what? Should we move on?
No. Here is the strategic defense in the Ukrainian representation. It is like this: there will be a day, there will be food. Today they stopped, and what will happen tomorrow? We'll see, then we'll figure it out. On July 31, the Vostok group reported that at the stage of moving out into the attack, the Ukrainian armored group was covered with fire.
Three armored cars died there, 16 cars, some number of people. In general, one of the numerous reports, there are many of them. And so what? This is just proof that the Ukrainian commanders are also experimenting. They are also returning from time to time to the idea of an attack by armored groups, just like we talked about the destroyed armored columns of the Russian army in an unsuccessful offensive.
Also, right now we are reading about a similar, maybe less large-scale, unsuccessful offensive of the Ukrainian army, also armored columns. The idea of the armored column does not die; it lives in the brains of both Ukrainian and Russian military, constantly. I see that the commander of the Vostok group and the commander of the Dnipro group are convinced that they are very clearly controlling the situation.
They will not allow this retreat. Everything is in their hands. They conduct defense against the Ukrainian offensive. But the way they act shows absolute confidence in their strength. Here, on this site. At the same time, everything I said about the strategic defense of Ukraine remains in force, of course.
The main news of the coming week related to the Russian Armed Forces is the rearrangement there. Andrey Ivanov, who was headed by the Vostok group, was transferred to the center. And the head of the headquarters, now headed by the Vostok group, is Pyotr Bolgarev. And the former head of the Vostok group, Valery Solochuk, is transferred to the Department of Defense.
He will be in charge of the entire rear supply of the army. As Putin put it, everything will be in his hands; all duties on the rear will be distributed in one place. Yes. And finally, the name of the person who headed the Armed Forces was Denis Lyamin. This is the head of the headquarters of the Army Group Center.
That is, the Army Group Center is in one part an orphanage. There was a lot of rumors among the military personnel and sources from the front were interested in who would command us there, and so on. In general, the surnames were called differently, including civil ones. People who had nothing to do with it before.
There were a lot of people in line for positions; it's almost a dozen. And among them were the military, who had long been removed from their positions, and there were some completely unexpected offers. All this reflects the novelty. The fact that there is really an unseen company, which is only two countries, one is Russia and Ukraine, in which there is a company.
And as we see now, there are two ways to appoint a boss. The first is to take an advanced civilian, who does not have a military education, a military view of the battlefield. But nevertheless, he understands all this in technology, and most importantly, if he is a businessman, he can bring modern business practices there.
This is what Ukraine did. There they have a purely civilian, as it is called. Although he fought before that, but we can't relate him to the military, with a real full-fledged military education. And the second way is to take a general military man, so-called. That is, a commander with a broad view, with a lot of experience.
And the head of the headquarters, group, army, center, this is a person with extensive experience, very serious. He was right at the peak. And, of course, there are questions about how he will fit into a completely new company, army. Will he master it, will he see it? But it turned out that now the competition will begin between these two people.
One is a civilian, the other is a military. Who is better organized? And what resources do they have in their hands? Because until there was a commander, the Russian army was developing, without a doubt, the Ministry of Defense, of course, developed unmanned troops, but not quite as fast as Ukraine did. Not so fast at all.
That is, there is a clear need for some kind of new impulse, a big, serious impulse. Military experience and a view from a bird's eye view, yes, at the theater of hostilities, it is also expensive. I also suggest that you turn to Ukrainian experience. After all, they just removed... There are also big restructuring in Ukraine, right? They just removed...
It's a mirror image. But we didn't have such restructuring, did we? Yes, yes. We had an increase, let's say. Yes, everyone went up. Nevertheless, we see that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, this young businessman Fedorov, who developed the military marketplace, and before that he was responsible for the digital transformation of the entire Ukrainian economy, and so on.
His general idea was to create a feedback system through the marketplace. That is, what is expensive, and the combat qualities of the machine are dubious, should not hit the front in large quantities. And he came across lobbying directly with people who made money on this, who have huge factories, which are assembled, and assembly production, not a factory, assembly production.
In general, everything is serious. I suspect that a similar secret struggle was carried out by administrative methods, was carried out within the Ministry of Defense. That is, there were people who were interested in promoting one or another character to this position. I consider this choice to be optimal.
In the conditions when everyone wants to put their commander, who will buy drones from him, I believe that this choice is optimal. This is a person who is not connected with any production group. Here, relatively recently, Mordvichov held a parade in Moscow, the head of the land forces, who had previously been a predecessor of Ivanaev at this post.
And he somehow stepped aside for incomprehensible reasons. I believe that Ivanaev is the second, in his donations and achievements, after Mordvichov. These are two people who, simply, in their career and achievements, stand out among many others. And the fact that he was entrusted with this group, the center, I just have a suspicion that something is being prepared in the group of the center.
Once Ivanaev came there, some kind of offensive, I don't know what, but something should happen there. This forty-day so-called Zelensky plan of coercion against the world has come to an end. Yes, coercion to negotiations about the world from the position of power. Apparently, Zelensky's biography indicates that, as a person, his main, so to speak, ideas about life, about how people interact, were formed a long time ago in show business.
And he, as an actor, constantly works for some viewer. For one, for two, for a group of people, for the people. But he always works for someone. That is, he makes his statements for Trump, he makes his statements for Ukrainian voters, for European politicians, for allies, for the army. But it's all... Cats are fighting. Cats, cats. It's from there.
But these are not always military actions; these are always public statements. Therefore, the main mistake of Zelensky in this, that he publicly said the word on the air, coercion, a plan for coercion. As soon as you announce to the enemy publicly, I will force you, you must also know that the enemy will immediately answer you with something.
Thus, he forces the Russian army to respond to this plan of coercion by military means. And the result is ambiguous. This is the current sphere of the economy. You can't stop it like, let's say, a steel industry collapsed, and it needs to be restored for a year. Or, for example, NPZ. They will very quickly start building warehouses now.
The economy is on its knees. Yes, the economy is on its knees. Absolutely. Warehouses will begin to be built in other places, they will begin to take goods from the warehouses of their clients, directly, and so on. That is, everything will be rebuilt. This is not the sphere by which you can force something.
Nevertheless, we see undoubted success, as well as a partial paralysis of the ships' movement in the Azov Sea, and the strikes on the Black Sea ports and ships in the Black Sea. Almost without a gap in time, almost immediately, the Russian army began a response campaign. As a result, by the end of these 40 days, the external sea trade of Ukraine was paralyzed.
Unlike Russia, which has seaports in the north, in the Baltic Sea, in the Far East, and a huge trade on railways to neighbors in China, for example. Unlike Russia, Ukraine's sea trade is a bottleneck. Several ports of the so-called Great Odessa. That is, that's it. There is nothing else.
And sea transport, most importantly, in terms of cargo lifting, it raises, well, one dry cargo, raises a huge number of containers, incomparable with any railway. It is impossible to close the export of grain by rail transportation. And now they are already telling, well, not telling, but the statement follows from the Association of Manufacturers of Intercontinental Products of Ukraine.
Representatives of steel and lithium enterprises, mining enterprises, that they can stop their work in the near future, because there is nothing to export. This is a powerful blow to the Ukrainian economy. There is such a judgment, I will not call it otherwise, a judgment that why do we need all these steel and lithium factories; sell wheat; money still comes from it.
We will close all these problems with the introduction of funds from Western Europe. And that's it. You can generally stop the economy; we will live. This is the deepest mistake. Because people are tied to the economy, specifically, who there, from this agriculture, receive not just a profit, but a salary.
Just like in the industry, steel and lithium enterprises. Well, that's it. This cannot be called such industries, which, let's spit, close, and we will not remember them anymore. Nothing like that. This is the most important part of the struggle. And now it is paralyzed by three quarters. A quarter is railways, cars, and transport.
How will we assess the result of this 40-day campaign? With a plus or minus, Zelensky came to the end of this term. In my opinion, it is not at all obvious that he won. In this case. Further, possible agreements. Because both the Russian Federation is interested in the export of agricultural products, well, grain, first of all, through Novorossiysk.
Just like Ukrainian producers of grain. The government and, in fact, Zelensky and Putin can resume the grain agreement. So as not to touch the ships. That's all. But this is not a compulsion, this is mutual consent. In the process of this campaign of retaliatory strikes on Ukraine, over the same 40 days, the Russian command began to increase the number of ballistic missiles in one raid.
And the answer, in fact, for these 40 days, on the last 40th day, was this strike on Kiev, the most powerful, one of the most powerful, in which were applied deficient, very expensive CIRCON missiles. What are the things with which you will never cope? Here, get it. This is 40 days. Let's put an end to this.
This is such a non-public answer. In fact, on the last day of the 40th day of this campaign, Podolyak, on the opposition channel, just an assistant, not a minister, not an official person, made a certain proposal. Let's put an end to air raids, energy bombings, each other, and so on. And this is the result.
That is, it turns out that not even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through secret channels, through the last... Well, maybe they did. These are secret channels. Well, it is impossible to send two channels, public and secret, to send the same message. I will send you a secret letter through intermediaries, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Well, at the same time, let Podolyak... This is how SMS messages are made, fax, calls, and to email the same message, so that some came. Well, this is what people do. This is what people do. In diplomacy, this is not the case. There is one letter in which the official proposal of the state to another state has been formulated.
Our proposals are the following: the introductory part, the statement part, and the final part. Well, we know how Ukraine loves public policy, public appeal. She, through this advisor, conveyed a public appeal, conveyed a non-public appeal. Well, that's what I told you. If they really wanted to put pressure on, they would bomb silently.
And at the end of this bombing campaign, they said, listen, the situation has changed, we propose such changes. It would be much easier to agree in secret. Here no one is causing moral damage. No one forces anyone to take their words back to agree to some kind of compromise, and so on. Everything is much simpler.
And as soon as you go to the public plane, you put the opponent in a situation in which he will never agree with you. This plan has an expected continuation. Zelensky spoke literally a day later, there and said that he would now strive to force Russia to stop military action until winter. That is, there was a plan for 40 days, now 120 days. Everything is ahead.
In general, it was possible not to announce anything. The General Staff of the Air Force announced the number of bombs that were dropped in July. Yes, on Ukrainian positions and various objects in the Middle and Near Rear, 8300 bombs fell. I don't think it's such an even number, probably approximately.
But this is an absolute record. What does it mean? That production is developing, a bet has been made on this. That is, unmanned and unmanned. But air bombs, correctable air bombs, very accurate, by the way, remain the main means of destruction in the Middle and Near Rear. They fly up to 150 kilometers.
And no unmanned aircraft can compete with them. They are cheaper in production and much, much more powerful. And they have a more accurate strike. This is the kind of weapon that Ukraine can hardly oppose today. There are, of course, French air bombs; there is some amount. There are also American.
But due to the fact that there are very few of them in Ukraine, they cannot apply it to such an extent. When will these air bombs end? Never. On the contrary, they are produced at factories more and more. If you judge by statistics, they go to the front right from the factories. Right away.
That is, the army does not live in stock there, but exactly because it is made right at the factories and immediately thrown into battle. I saw a message that Trump had read the Minister of War Pete Hexett for the fact that ammunition is not produced enough. Yes, they have this problem. It became clear only after they got into a fight with Iran.
Of course, we already know that Zelensky was also injured. Well, not Zelensky, but Ukraine in general. Because their main task is to get ammunition. Among them, the most deficient ammunition is anti-missile for Patriot. And there is nothing. He came to Trump and Trump, contrary to what he recently promised, and we talked about it in recent issues, he was told that there is no weapon.
Europe does not produce it. You know, there is such a license in Poland, and much, much earlier this license for the production of these anti-aircraft ammunition was received by Germany. According to their plans, in 4 years they will start producing them. Everything is very slowly unfolding. How did this whole trip to Zelensky end, the meeting with Trump?
Trump told him in his eyes that he would not give him a rocket, but had just promised a license. But how did he promise it? He said that I will give you a license. True, with companies that own the secrets of production, I have not yet agreed. And then it suddenly turns out that the companies that own the technologies of production, the most important parts, the warheads that knock down the rockets, refused to pass it on to Zelensky.
And the question is not that he hanged himself, he just collapsed right away. Trump cannot catch them; I order you. You see, this is their private property, the right to technology. He refused him in rockets, and he refused to meet with Musk, or rather Musk refused to meet with him. A very interesting point.
Remember, we just talked about the fact that if drones become jet, there will be much more to fly through air defense, and they will fall on targets much more, and the cost of one hit will immediately fall sharply. Not through air defense, but through mobile fire groups, which cannot work as air defense against missiles. Yes, exactly.
And now it is happening, already according to the statistics of this week, the number of strikes in Russia is decreasing, and the number of hits on targets is increasing directly at the expense of these Geranium-4, 5, Banderol, and so on. An idea arose. This idea, I don't even know; I tried to find the source, either it is Ukrainian, or the Western military proposed that you can not shoot down rockets, but you can strike on the missile complexes themselves, on the launch points.
Here, on these machines that Iskander carries, from which he starts. But for this you need to hit the targets right in the depths of the territory of Russia. How to ensure this? And here Zelensky goes to Trump and asks him to give him the opportunity to turn on Starlink all over the territory of Russia. So that Ukrainian drones were controlled super accurately by Starlink, so that they could see in the smallest details not the battlefield, but the deep rear, search there these Iskander complexes and strike on them so that Iskander could not shoot at Ukraine.
And not to shoot down already flying missiles in the air. The idea is productive, but the question is again that nuclear doctrine, it can now be attacked in this way completely unexpectedly. And those objects in the depths of Russia, which belong to the nuclear complex, and on the other hand, who owns Starlink? This is not the property of the United States, the government of the United States.
This is a private person. His last name is Musk, his name is Elon. He must solve this issue, and he said to Zelensky that well, I can do it, turn on Starlink over Russia. And if Trump tells me, Zelensky came to Trump and Trump refused. That is, this is a serious point.
After all, Trump understands that if he now turns on Starlink over the entire territory of Russia for Ukrainians, it can be regarded as a direct action directed against the nuclear complex of Russia. Everything closes. That is, a lot of details emerge, which do not show this idea at all. The initial idea was interesting, yes, to destroy a missile complex, but now it turns out that no.
Why, in my opinion, this issue has become so sharp right now? The effectiveness of air defense in Russia has dropped from 94 to 88 percent. Well, that is, they knocked down 94 and 100, now 80, 8 and 100. This is due to the fact that, among other things, anti-aircraft missiles are depleted; they become fewer.
But the effectiveness of anti-aircraft defense of Ukraine has dropped from 68-64 percent to 54, sharply straight. Well, they knock down half of 100. Why? The missiles are generally over. That's what it is. And this is exactly the reason. It is immediately obvious that these raids on Kiev, they are generally unpunished.
That is, the Russian army can bomb where it wants, in the place where it wants and at the time when it wants. And those objects that it wants, chooses. There are no more questions about how much it will fly, how much it will not fly, how much it needs, how much it will fly. This is the most important thing. That's why he went to Trump.
What's going on in Greenland? Well, there was an event that we can consider to be a series of curiosities. But this is a real event in the military sphere. Danya started a mobilization related to the threats of Trump to capture Greenland. 1600 people will serve; now the military service is underway, on an extended program.
So, Danya's army has been serving for 4 months, and now it will serve for 11 months. But we remember how the Dutch landed a special force, which was supposed to mine the very only two take-off and landing strips in the United States. That is, they are not made for nothing. I respect the Dutch, in fact.
Therefore, this is a little funny news. And on the other hand, they let Trump understand that they will fight. No, he again demanded Greenland for himself, and he said that he hoped that by the end of his presidency he would make Greenland another state. That's why they made such a decision. In general, they signal Trump that we will fight.
Maybe we will lose, but we will not give up without a fight. Well done! When we talk about the success of the successful attack on ships in the Azov Black Seas, the Ukrainian ones, we must remember that Russia, the Soviet Union had a huge experience of escorting large convoys, especially British convoys accompanied by the British fleet, the American escorted convoys in the polar latitudes, which went along the Lend-Lease and brought weapons to Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and so on.
It was enough just to remember to organize just the defense of tankers and dry cargo in the Azov Sea. But they remembered. Now they will remember again. In this regard, I propose an interesting episode in history, which seemed to me at first an invention. It does not happen in life, but it turned out, I asked the participant directly, and it turned out that this is how it is.
This is related to the escort of the famous caravan PQ-17, which carried weapons to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. Then, later, it was attacked by German aviation, Junkers and submarines. The unluckiest convoy in history. A huge number of losses. Two-thirds of the ships died. And, in general, German aviation and submarines were based in the outskirts of Norway.
They flew out from there, bombed these caravans. And, of course, it was a tragedy. A lot was written about this after the war. About this not the Soviet Union, but ex-allies, Americans, Englishmen wrote books, films were shot. In general, a very loud story. And this is the story that happened to us.
Alexander Moiseevich Gorodnitsky, a famous bard, a scientist, a man, a legend. Participated in a memorial event. This is a voyage of a scientific ship Oceanographic Senezh. Instead of the death of the caravan PQ-17, in order to pay tribute to the dead sailors, lower the wreaths into the water.
And the survivors participated in it, well, still alive, veterans of this famous and Soviet sailors who met the English on the other side. And, in fact, people who shot straight from machine guns there from the German Junkers on decks of ships. Canadian, British, American. And unexpectedly there was Haya Herman.
This is the commander of the unit of Junkers bombers, who actually bombed the PQ-17. He said that he considers it his duty also to participate in these events, to pay tribute. It's like reconciliation after many years. And they went there. Who looks at the photo of Haya Herman, he will understand that this is a classic sample of such a show, although the big boss showed his subordinates how to act.
And his personal example. I can only say that of course I am grateful to fate for the fact that it brought me together with Alexander Moiseevich. I extremely respect this person and I know that he will never lie. This is an extremely conscientious scientist. I asked him, Alexander Moiseevich, does it look like a fairy tale?
Everything I read. He said no, Valera. It was so. And having told such details, and then here is such a story. They come there to the place. They lined up on board. All the old men in uniform put on medals. Haya Herman came out. He stood on the flank in an absolutely black suit.
Without a single medal. Of course, you can't put on a German medal. Although he was awarded with a knight's cross with oak leaves. And here he stands. They paid tribute. The wreaths were lowered. They sang a sad melody. But before that, when they went there, he somehow got along with Goroditsky.
Not that they became friends, but they became friends, drank, talked, remembered the war. Alexander Moiseevich is still a blockhead. No matter how you twist it, you know. He survived the blockade of Leningrad. And some warm feelings arose between them. After so many years, the Germans said that everything was over.
And so on. They finish it all, float back. And here Haya Herman finds out that Alexander Moiseevich is a Jew. And he was so shocked and upset by this fact. He said, Alex, maybe you're not a complete Jew. Maybe a quarter. Your dad was not a Jew. Half.
Alexander Moiseevich said to him, listen, your Goering, and he was a favorite of Goering, who protected him, your Goering never asked a man there for a quarter or a half. They just sent everyone to the concentration camp and that's it. And now you ask me, maybe if I turn out to be a quarter Jew, it will be easier for you to survive this difficult situation.
He locked himself up, drank heavily, locked himself up in his cabin and did not go out for several days. That's it. Izuverian inhuman ideology lives inside a person and then suddenly wakes up after many years. Although everything is already in ruins, it ended, Germany of 1933.
Everyone has built a new world already. And he himself has already acquired a peaceful profession, created a family. He had children. And after so many years, what is ideology? How does it live in a person? Well, it can't be. He was terribly upset. He thought I was his friend, but it turned out that he was a friend of the Jews.
Just when you said that this German decided to take part in these events, to pay homage, I always thought then, maybe he decided to pay homage to his guys? After this story, maybe he really thought about himself. He said, they explained to him, he said that he was ready to pay homage to Russian sailors, Americans, Englishmen. He did not think that he would pay homage to the Jews.
Here is such a story. Very instructive, extraordinary. Alexander Moiseevich just the story of his life, which is more like legends and myths, absolutely real, his biography is full of such stories. I really wanted to tell you about this, so that you all understand that the ideology that sits in a person and which now leads the Ukrainians and the Russian army at the front does not just leave.
It will live in people and in children, to whom parents will pass on their beliefs in the future, decades ahead. Well, this is where our issue ends. Thank you very much for watching.
