1
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:05,820
Counteroffensive promoters, or how U.S.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and
2
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:10,620
Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov want to
play the ancient Greek game with the enemy.
3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,080
In Ukraine and the USA the promoters of the
counter-offensive are Reznikov and Blinken.
4
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:21,900
Reznikov has distinguished himself in three days
with a whole list of high-profile statements,
5
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:26,400
among them: "The Ukrainian command is preparing
a counteroffensive in the coming weeks,
6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,120
the appropriate time will be chosen
by the General Staff"; "As of today
7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,260
we are coming to the finish line before the
counteroffensive", and the next day states "We
8
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:38,220
are ready for a counteroffensive, waiting for
the weather and the decision of the command."
9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,880
The same situation with the Pentagon and Anthony
Blinken: "Ukraine's counteroffensive will begin in
10
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,380
the coming weeks" and "The U.S. knows that Ukraine
is preparing an offensive in the coming weeks."
11
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:54,480
Of course, such statements have been
met with criticism that they provide the
12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,220
enemy with valuable information.
But just to note this nuance :
13
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:04,320
These statements are synchronous and similar
between Ukrainian and U.S. representatives.
14
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:09,000
Second, you can "blab once" and get
a warning from the people in charge,
15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,140
but not several times in a row over several
days. Then it's fine. Either it does not carry
16
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:21,300
the appropriate value as we think, or it is
necessary, such information works both ways.
17
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:27,540
Sometimes to hide it, hide it in plain sight.
I think most of the time neither allies,
18
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:31,440
perhaps and even Secretary of Defense
Reznikov doesn't know all the information.
19
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,300
The Politico article about Ukraine
hiding counterattack details from
20
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,660
the allies to prevent confidential
information from leaking seems true,
21
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:43,500
because that is exactly what
happened on the eve of February 24.
22
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:48,480
So keep a sober mind and observe,
everything is going as it should go.
23
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:53,820
All these statements are addressed just
not to us, but to the "ears" of the enemy.
24
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,260
What we can pay attention to and rejoice
a little is that in the last three days
25
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:04,200
the AFU has dealt painful blows to the
enemy's fuel logistics. Oil product tanks
26
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,420
in Sevastopol and near the port of Taman were
destroyed. These bases are part of the same
27
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:15,000
logistical link supplying the enemy grouping
in the south. Also, add twice blown up fuel
28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,380
and saltpeter trains on the railroad, as
well as strikes on airfields in Russia.
29
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,720
Ukrainian strikes are stretched across the
line and directed deep into enemy territory.
30
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,580
The enemy whines that the Ukrainian armed
forces are concentrating reserves not only
31
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:35,040
in the Zaporizhzhya direction, but along the
entire front line. It looks as if the general
32
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,360
staff of Ukraine is waiting for the enemy to
choose where the main strike of the AFU will be,
33
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,440
as was the case with the transfer of
enemy forces to the Kherson region.
34
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:48,600
And Reznikov and Blinken take on the jobs
of the speakers of their departments for the
35
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,620
purpose of playing the ancient Greek game
of "thimbles," forcing the enemy to make
36
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:56,700
his choice, just as real speculators
publicly limit the time to choose.
37
00:02:57,540 --> 00:03:01,680
In addition, there was a very important
visit of President Zelenski to Finland,
38
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,800
perhaps one of the keys to a
successful counteroffensive.
39
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,640
But why this was so important
I will tell you perhaps later.
