Holovanov #33: It Is Not Strong Russia That's The Problem, But The Indecisive West. Vasil Holovanov, Alexey Arestovych. Ukraine War Diaries

On air with Vasil Holovanov we discussed the main news of the week:

➤ 00:00 The main news of the past two weeks: the terrorist attack in Crocus, massive shelling of Ukraine, military assistance to Israel from the United States.
➤ 02:05 Will there be a massive strategic Russian counteroffensive in summer? Putin's political framework, main goals and possible directions of attack.
➤ 10:30 Rumors about a threat of a Russian nuclear strike will continue until the end of the war.
➤ 11:20 Reasons for the intensification of Russian missile attacks on the territory of Ukraine specificallt targeting electric plants.
➤ 15:25 Problems with air defense missiles in Ukraine.
➤ 16:00 Ukrainian air defense can be strengthened by F-16s. Russian army is rushing to gain advantage before they arrive to the front.
➤ 17:40 How can Putin use the Crocus terrorist attack against Ukraine?
➤ 20:35 Could Kremlin organize a similar terrorist attack in Kyiv?
➤ 21:27 Why did Russia not respond to the US warning about the terrorist attack?

➤ 26:50 Opinion on the appointment of Aleksandr Litvinenko as secretary of the RNBO.
➤ 28:04 Does Arestovich communicate with Zaluzhny?
➤ 28:45 Training for the Ukrainian military.
➤ 30:41 Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky: "there is no need to mobilize 500,000 people to Ukrainian army" Inept actions of the military-political leadership of Ukraine lead to the problem of mobilization not having enough time to catch up with accumulation of Russian troops in the summer.
➤ 36:03 The lower mobilization age bracket of 21. Consequences of non-conscription of youth to the front.
➤ 38:21 Why is the adoption of the mobilization law delayed?
➤ 39:01 Results of raids to Russia by “RDK”, “Siberian Battalion” and the Legion “Freedom of Russia”.

➤ 41:24 10th anniversary of the legendary "Huilo" song about Putin.
➤ 41:45 Brief scenarios for the development of events in Ukraine - from bad to good.
➤ 48:28 How can a direct clash between Russia and NATO happen?
➤ 50:38 We discussed President Zelensky’s quote about trust in Putin and his readiness for dialogue, as well as Russia’s partnership with the coalition of the global South. The problem with the current situation is the weakness of the West, not the strength of Russia in coalition with China.
➤ 54:35 Most Europeans are determined and ready to fight with Russian troops.
➤ 58:27 There will probably be no Taurus missiles for Ukraine under Scholz.
➤ 58:40 Paying off collective karma: the state of affairs in the Ukrainian army after its destruction over three decades. Prospects for a repeat Russian attack on Ukraine.
➤ 01:04:52 Belief in quick success in an unstable economy. The Ukrainian state is organized in such a way that Ukrainians do not understand their sponsorship of Russian aggression. Ukrainian military personnel lost in bets in Russian online casinos in 2023 is an equivalen to the cost of least 1000 Bradley APCs.
