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