1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,920
Former deputy commander of NATO forces
in Europe, General Michel Yakovleff,
2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,820
gave his views on the Russian and Ukrainian
armies and how the war should end.
3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,760
I want to share the theses from this interview and
also add about new problems in the Russian army.
4
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:21,540
Operational art, choosing where to attack,
logistics, fire coordination, air support,
5
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:27,540
equipment quality, troop and service interaction,
reconnaissance - these are all things in which
6
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:31,080
the Russians have performed so woefully
that it has simply stunned the world.
7
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,320
Suddenly it was discovered that this team,
8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,580
which everyone thought was playing in the
Champions League, was in the third league.
9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,000
At best, it would go to the second league. But
it's not going to make it to the big leagues.
10
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:51,480
Even another army that Putin recruited after the
mobilization will not change the balance of power.
11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,060
It will take another wave of conscription
to do that. But for these recruits there
12
00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:03,900
is already no equipment, no command staff, no
equipment. Even a third army won't help here.
13
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:09,180
In order to get a lasting peace, it is
necessary for Russia - namely Russia, not
14
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:13,860
President Putin - for all Russians to understand
that they have gained nothing from the war.
15
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:20,340
And this presupposes that Ukraine will return to
all of its old borders, which are Crimea and all
16
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:26,880
of Donbass. Ukraine must get its old borders
back to the last kilometer. And on that day,
17
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,060
we will show the Russians that 2014 and 2022 were
not just rivers of blood, the impoverishment of
18
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:38,640
the country, and so on, but beyond that,
it gave them nothing. You didn't get one
19
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,420
square kilometer. That's what needs to be shown.
That's it, the condition for a lasting peace.
20
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:51,780
But the victory of Ukraine in the war, I think,
will happen before the Ukrainians win it all back.
21
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:57,000
The hostilities, I believe, will be over
before they reach their internationally
22
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,940
recognized borders. I don't think they'll
have to go before them. I think the war will
23
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:06,480
end before that, because the collapse
of Russia will happen before that.
24
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,160
I'm not quite sure that will
happen exactly as the general says.
25
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:17,400
At least as far as the Russian citizens are
concerned. I think he has not yet fully realized
26
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,260
that the majority of Russian citizens are willing
to continue to exterminate Ukrainians with the
27
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:26,820
hands of others, they are out for blood.
And some by the hands of their children,
28
00:02:26,820 --> 00:02:31,440
numerous interviews with mothers of
dead Russian soldiers speaks of this.
29
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,140
They thank their president and say that they are
mothers, they will give birth to new sons, but
30
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:43,560
their homeland is in danger. Russian propaganda
works no worse than it did during World War II.
31
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,040
But the same Russian propaganda, as usual,
32
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,720
continues in its patriotic reports to
reveal the problems of the Russian troops.
33
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:57,600
For example, one story showed a bravura
and pathos-laden video about the combat
34
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,600
use of the "unparalleled in the world" T-90M
"Proryv". But there is a nuance in this video...
35
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:08,340
The fact is that Russian journalists
showed that "unparalleled in the world",
36
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:13,860
the most expensive and most modern tank in the
Russian troops is used as conventional artillery.
37
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,820
Note on the video how the barrel
of the tank is positioned,
38
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:20,940
which indicates not direct fire, but mounted fire.
39
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,680
This report only confirmed the fact
that Russia has big problems with
40
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,840
artillery and its ammunition supply.
Moreover, the very use of the T-90M
41
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800
for such a purpose indicates the limited
capabilities of other tank modifications,
42
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,440
such as the T-72 or even the T-62,
because of their scarcity in the units.
43
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:46,560
In general, they wanted to make a quick propaganda
piece to make the blood boil and the libido jump
44
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,300
with pride for the great and indestructible
Russian weapons, but it turned out as always.
45
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:57,720
By the way, in Ukraine it is documented
that the invaders lost 56 tanks T-90,
46
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,180
according to other data their losses are more than
80, 17 of which were given to AFU as trophies.
47
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:08,940
We would also like to draw attention to the way in
which the AFU has been regularly targeting Russian
48
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:15,060
short- and medium-range air defense echelons in
recent days. In March a real hunt for Russian air
49
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:19,920
defenses in the combat zone unfolded, and the
number of destroyed equipment jumped sharply
50
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:27,118
since February 23. This is a kind of safari
for Russian SAMs. I wonder what this is about ?
