Comments by "Levan Gudadze - Opinion" (@LevanGudadze) on "Alex Christoforou" channel.

  1. Ukraine is having problems drafting new troops to fight against Russia and intends to address the problem by widening the scope of contract and cracking down on draft-dodgers, but the country's long-term economic viability is being undermined by the “bloodletting” on a scope that is hard to estimate, German newspaper Die Welt reported on Monday, which I will talk about on my channel too, as there are more and more reasons to believe that strategic segments of the Ukrainian economy, including logistics and transport, energy and industrial production , may collapse due to irreparable losses of qualified personnel.

  2. According to media reports here in Russia, the Zelenskiy regime has amassed roughly 200,000 troops for a counter-offensive, however I personally find it hard to believe this data, which I also said on my channel in an update, because the maximum that Zelenskiy and his Western masters are capable of is form a grouping of 70-80 000 and this will be the last reserve of Kiev. That’s why I say that after Zelensky’s unsuccessful counter-offensive, the Ukrainian armed forces will begin to collapse along the entire front, which will be the beginning of the end of Zelensky’s presidency.

  3. Here in Russia, the topic of a possible new wave of mobilization has again become relevant, which I also spoke about on my channel in today's update, and cited a statement by Peskov, Putin's press secretary, who said that he had no information about a possible mobilization. At the same time, the very fact that the possibility of mobilization was not categorically refuted probably indicates that the reservists should start preparing now.. I personally would not be surprised for sure if the Kremlin announces a new wave of mobilization and calls for service from 500,000 reservists to a million.

  4. It seems that the Zelensky regime is experiencing difficulties with manpower not only inside Ukraine, which I have repeatedly said on my channel in updates, but also outside the country, because according to the publication of The New York Times, instead of the announced 20,000 foreign mercenaries, the so-called foreign legion was enlisted only 1,500. Even mercenaries do not want to fight for Zelensky and his Western masters.. ))

  5. The first Leopard tank was destroyed in Ukraine, Russian media reported today. I talked about the topic in more detail on my channel in an update, but I will share here too that at first the tank was captured by Russian special forces from the reconnaissance and sabotage group in the Kherson region, but due to the impossibility of transporting it through the front line to the left bank of the Dnieper, the military decided to drown tank in the swamp..
    132
  6. Tonight, here in Russia, the media is reporting that Ukrainian troops in Artyomovsk are complaining about the lack of ammunition and weapons to hold the city. Of course, I will talk about this in more detail on my channel in tomorrow's update, but the statement about the shortage of weapons and ammunition was made by the head of the press service of the 10th neo-Nazi separate mountain assault brigade of Ukraine "Edelweiss" Nikita Shandyba. You probably paid attention to the name of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi brigade - Edelweiss. Exactly such a name and a similar emblem of the Edelweiss flower had the first mountain rifle division of Nazi Germany during the Second World War. “Our line of defense needs more ammunition and weapons to keep the defense going, this is the most important thing. It’s not easy: we’ve been standing here for the tenth month without rotation, the field, dampness, it’s not warm now,” Nikita Shandyba said on the air of the Rada TV channel.

  7. Fierce street fighting in bakhmut. Many still do not know, probably, that according to the information that we receive here in Russia today, Wagner PMC units have sharply stepped up their actions in the direction of Bakhmut, the likelihood of which I have repeatedly spoken on my channel in recent days, and the latest news is that the Wagnerites have already established control over a significant part of the northern districts of the city. I could be wrong, but it seems that the final stage of the attack on this city has begun and within 3-4 days the Ukrainian units will either leave their positions en masse and retreat to Chasov Yar, or will be completely surrounded, after which they will have little choice to surrender to the Russian side or die.
    129
  8. Last night, the Russian armed forces launched missile and drone attacks on the military and logistics infrastructure of Ukraine in the direction of the port cities of Reni and Izmail on the Danube River, which was also discussed on my channel, since these days military exercises of a number of NATO countries are taking place in the Danube Delta, with the participation of the Ukrainian armed forces too..
    124
  9. Units of the “Southern” group of Russian troops liberated the village of Artemovskoye (Khromovoe, near Bakhmut) in the DPR, according to a report from the Ministry of Defense, which I will also talk about on my channel, since contrary to the expectations of the ruling elites of Ukraine and the collective West, the initiative on the front line is in Russian hands and Russian units are achieving success.
    122
  10. The head of the Italian Foreign Ministry said that now there can be no ceasefire in the Middle East, which I will also talk about on my channel, since it seems that the so-called ruling elites of the West do not even want to consider a ceasefire and peace negotiations anywhere, in the Middle East, Ukraine or anywhere else on this planet, always supporting greater escalation and bloodshed..
    121
  11. Already 300 thousand volunteers have signed up to participate in the special operation since the beginning of the year, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, and of course I will also talk about this on my channel, because the high level of volunteers willing to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense certainly reduces the likelihood that Moscow will announce a second wave of mobilization..
    121
  12. Budapest will not extradite to Kiev Ukrainians liable for military service who came to Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, speaking at the opening of the autumn session of parliament, and I will certainly discuss this topic on my channel too, since recently the shortage of manpower is pushing Kiev to take unprecedented steps, even demanding the extradition of those liable for military service from EU countries..
    118
  13. I already talked about the token on my channel in today's update, but now there is confirmation of the information that Wagner PMC units have indeed established control over the village of Yagodnoye north of Bakhmut. The founder of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, stated this a few minutes ago. In addition, Wagner units are already two kilometer away from the center of Bakhmut, and the Ukrainian garrison of the city blew up a dam on the river to slow down the advance of the Vagenovites .. Serious activation in this direction, one might say.
    116
  14. Today Ukraine lost another two "Challenger 2" tanks in battle, which I will certainly talk about in more detail on my channel too, since according to the statement of the Acting Governor of the Zaporozhye region Evgeniy Balitsky, the Russian military spotted 7 more Challenger tanks on the Zaporozhye front, which may mean that soon the number of destroyed British tanks will increase significantly..
    115
  15. According to the latest data, as a result of the escalation between Israel and Palestine, which I will also talk about on my channel, the Palestinian side lost over 200 people killed and about 1,500 wounded, the Israeli side lost over 100 people killed and about 1,000 wounded. Over 100 Israeli soldiers and civilians were also captured by the Palestinians and taken to the Gaza Strip.
    115
  16. Russian Armed Forces have liquidated more than 400 servicemen of the Ukrainian army in the Soledar-Artemovsk (Bakhmut) sector of the SMO. On my channel, I also shared the latest data on the situation on the front line, emphasizing that the Russian side was able to stabilize the situation and stop the Ukrainian forces carrying out local offensives in multiple directions..
    114
  17. Well.. Today I shared information on my channel in a new update that is on the Kupyansk sector, Russian units completely liberated the village of Gryanikovka to the north of Kupyansk, knocking out the territorial defense formations. In addition, Wagner PMCs have established themselves in the settlement Bekhrovka north of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
    114
  18. The authorities of Poland and the Baltic countries should withdraw foreign military from their territory before demanding the withdrawal of Wagner PMC fighters from Minsk, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said, which I will also talk about on my channel, because recently the military and political situation around this republic reminds many of the preparations for a military invasion.
    113
  19. The Russian armed forces today struck at the military and logistical infrastructure of Ukraine in the Odessa region, in the city of Izmail on the Danube River, which I talked about on my channel too, because it becomes obvious that Moscow will not only not return to the grain deal, but also will not allow West to launch alternative routes to bypass Russian-controlled transport routes..
    112
  20. Over the past seven days, from October 14 to October 20, the Ukrainian armed forces lost more than 5,000 military personnel and about 300 armored combat vehicles, including 25 tanks, the Russian Defense Ministry reports, emphasizing that at the same time 10 Ukrainian Mig- 29 fighters, 2 Su 25 attack aircraft and 2 Mi-8 helicopters, which I will also talk about on my channel, since the losses of the Ukrainian army are colossal and the question arises how long the Ukrainian side will be able to continue any combat operations at all..
    112
  21. US intelligence agencies have made a “grim” assessment of Ukraine's ongoing counteroffensive, talk about it on my channel too, because in Russia questions are increasingly being asked not about the Ukrainian counteroffensive, but about the Russian large-scale offensive expected in the near future.
    112
  22. Contrary to the statements of the Zelensky regime that the Ukrainian troops will not retreat from Bakhmut, in reality the Ukrainian side is retreating and is trying to do it in small groups in order to do it covertly and avoid the fire of Russian artillery and Wagner PMC units that directly or indirectly control all roads from the city. Talked in more detail about the situation in Bakhmut in today's update on my channel, emphasizing that the only way for the Ukrainian forces to leave Bakhmut safely is if Kiev asks Moscow to open a humanitarian corridor, otherwise the trapped Bakhmut garrison will be mostly destroyed in the coming days..
    110
  23. A number of sources report that from 3 to 5,000 “Wagner” PMC fighters who signed the contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense are participating in the assault on Avdeevka, which I will talk about on my channel too, since it was the Wagnerites who played a key role during Bakhmut operation..
    109
  24. Breaking News from Russia. As I said today in an update on my channel, relying on Russian news portals, that the Russian armed forces have established almost complete control over the highway between Bakhmutrt and Chasov Yar, thereby effectively cutting off the Ukrainian group in Bakhmut. I believe that in the coming days, the Ukrainian side will try to counterattack from Chasov Yar in order to break through the corridor to Bakhmut, or begin the evacuation of their units from Bakhmut, because they have no other way.
    108
  25. The audience here probably knows that the Ukrainian authorities have said today that they will not withdraw troops from Bakhmut. Many believed, but I personally did not, because, as I said on my channel, the Zelensky regime is preparing the ground for the withdrawal of troops and stating the opposite is just an awkward attempt to minimize the negative reaction of the Ukrainian society, which for many months was promised a victory at Bakhmut.
    104
  26. The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, following the meeting of the EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, noted with regret that “Ukraine has disappeared from the media,” which I will also talk about on my channel, because it seems to me that there is an extremely high probability that from the loss of Western attention and hopelessness the Kiev regime may resort to monstrous provocations in order to somehow return itself to the field of interest of the Western public and the media.
    103
  27. The Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral of the Dutch Navy Rob Bauer, said on Saturday that the volumes of military assistance requested by Ukraine exceed the production capabilities of the alliance countries, which I will talk about on my channel too, because the Western media and the so-called elites do not stop promoting the narrative that it is not NATO countries but Russia that is experiencing a shortage of capacity for the production of weapons and ammunition..
    102
  28. Russian Aerospace Forces and air defense systems have destroyed since the beginning of October: 31 aircraft and three helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force, including: 20 Mig-29 fighters, eight Su-25 attack aircraft, one Su-24 bomber, two combat training an L-39 aircraft and three Mi-8 helicopters, which I will also talk about on my channel, since the figures presented by the Russian Ministry of Defense are truly extraordinary..
    99
  29. It seems that Avdiivka is already in operational encirclement, as I predicted on my channel for several weeks in a row.. The situation there is developing very quickly. By tomorrow, the Ukrainian garrison of the city may collapse.
    99
  30. Two more blocks of Bakhmut came under the full control of Wagner PMC in the northwestern and central parts of the city in a day, media reports here in Russia. I guess in the next update on my channel I will have to talk about Bakhmut again..
    99
  31. The Russian armed forces launched a massive missile attack near the Border of a NATO country on the port cities of Ukraine on the Danube River Reni and Izmail, which I also talked about on my channel, because such a move by Moscow certainly indicates the confidence of the Russian side and the firm intention to bring the special military operation to its logical end..
    98
  32. The first batch of Ukrainian pilots are not expected to complete training on US-made F-16 fighter jets before next summer, the Washington Post reported on Friday, which I will also talk about on my channel, because I have repeatedly noted in the past that the likelihood of that the Zelensky regime will receive Western F-16 fighters is extremely low..
    98
  33. As I said in recent updates on my channel, February 21, and this is tomorrow, Putin may announce a new wave of mobilization in Russia and a change in the status of a special military operation. Or maybe he will do both. If anyone does not know, Putin will deliver a speech in front of the federal assembly tomorrow..
    96
  34. Ukraine has asked the West for long-range missiles to strike Iran, Syria and Russia, writes the British Guardian newspaper with reference to a document of the Ukrainian government provided to the G7 countries in August, which I will talk about on my channel too, since it becomes obvious that defeats on the battlefield are pushing the desperate leaders of Ukraine to extreme and extremely inadequate steps..
    95
  35. Odessa is a Russian city and a little bit Jewish, Vladimir Putin said at a plenary meeting of the Valdai international discussion club, which I will talk about on my channel too, since this is perhaps the first time when the President of the Russian Federation indirectly confirmed the likely intention to liberate the city from the oppression of the Zelensky regime controlled by Western elites..
    95
  36. The German main battle tank Leopard with the German crew consisting of military personnel of the German Armed Forces was destroyed in one of the Northern sectors of the front, reports RIA Novosti, which of course I will talk about on my channel too, since this information can turn out to be the first confirmation of the direct participation of NATO military personnel in the conflict in Ukraine, with possible grave consequences..
    94
  37. The Russian Federation will support the residents of Donbass if they decide to become part of Russia as a result of a referendum, - State Duma Speaker Volodin.
    93
  38. The German government has received a request from Warsaw and today it intends to allow the re-export of Polish MiG-29 fighters, which were once in the reserve of the GDR Air Force, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reports. I'll talk about this in more detail on my channel, but we can already say that Russian fighters and anti-aircraft defense systems will have a new easy target..
    92
  39. Poland for the first time openly declared its intention to enter into a conflict in Ukraine, as I predicted on my channel many times. Polish Ambassador to France Jan Emeryk Rosciszewski said on the air of the LCI TV channel that if Kyiv fails to "defend independence" on the battlefield, then the Polish army will have to become a direct participant in the conflict with Russia. This is reported here in Russia by almost all the media. I think it's only a matter of 3-5 months and Warsaw will bring Polish troops into the territory of Ukraine, perhaps even take a chance and attack Belarus, together with the Baltic republics.
    90
  40. The latest news we have here in Russia today is that the Ukrainian side has started using chemical weapons on the battlefield, in Vuhledar and Bakhmut. I also spoke about this in my today's update on my channel, along with other relevant information, noting the facts of the desertion of Ukrainian units from the flint direction, as well as from Bakhmut itself.
    89
  41. Here in Russia, as in the rest of the world, probably The opinion has long been cultivated that before the end of winter or in the first days of spring, a full-scale Russian offensive will begin that will finally break the ability of the Zelensky regime to fight. On my channel, I also spoke about this topic, although recently I personally begin to doubt that the Russian offensive will take place at all. At the same time, even Western media write that US officials are pressing Zelensky to intensify the fighting even more, and, in the end, it may well turn out that instead of a Russian offensive, we will see a Ukrainian counteroffensive. I don't think the Zelenskiy regime is capable of launching a successful counteroffensive, but they certainly can try.
    81
  42. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Russian assault troops have established full control over four more blocks of Bakhmut.
    81
  43. Air defense systems shot down two Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters, a Su-25 attack aircraft and an L-39 combat training aircraft, along with 51 drones over the past 24 hours, reports the Russian Ministry of Defense, which I will talk about on my channel too, since if we take into account official data from the Russian side, it can be assumed that Ukraine has almost completely lost its air force, including dozens of USSR-era aircraft supplied to Kiev by NATO countries in eastern and central Europe.
    81
  44. Those suspected of the death of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh were detained, a reliable source in one of the Russian law enforcement agencies reported, which was also discussed on my channel, since an attack on Russian peacekeepers by the Azerbaijani military could well have been regarded by Moscow as an act of war, if the Azerbaijani authorities had not urgently apologized and condolenced and did not begin an investigation into the incident, as a result of which the commander of the corps of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, whose subordinates were responsible for the deaths of Russian military personnel, was already removed from his post.
    78
  45. As I predicted in today's update on my channel, Russia has either already captured the wreckage of an American reconnaissance drone that fell yesterday in the Black Sea, or will try to do so in the coming days. This was also stated by Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev in a conversation with reporters today, stressing that Russia will try to get the remains of the US drone. “I don’t know if we will be able to get it or not, but the fact that we need to do this, and we will do it, is a must,” he said.
    76
  46. The media reports here in Russia that the so-called President of Ukraine Zelensky refused to withdraw Ukrainian units from Bakhmut, thereby dooming the city's garrison to death, or at best to captivity. I said on my channel many times that Zelensky could do just that in order to exchange the Ukrainian military stationed in Bakhmut for time for himself and his Western masters, but still I hoped that common sense and the human factor would force him to order his troops to retreat. Apparently, there was no common sense, no humanity left in him, only anger and hatred. The Ukrainian military will not surrender Artemivsk, the so-called President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference following the EU-Ukraine summit in Kyiv. “No one will surrender Bakhmut. We will fight as much as we can,” he said.
    76
  47. Russia has seen its Gross Domestic Product values turn to growth in the second quarter of the year, which I will talk about on my channel too, because despite the lingering pressure from Western sanctions, the Russian economy grew 4.9% in annual terms.
    74
  48. Three more blocks of Bakhmut came under the full control of Wagner PMC in the northwestern and central parts of the city in the last 24 hours, media reports here in Russia. I guess in the next update on my channel I will have to talk about Bakhmut again..
    74
  49. Preparations have begun for the production of the first batch of Russian light fighters of the fifth generation "Checkmate" (Su-75), which I talked about in a news update on my channel too, since contrary to the expectations of the ruling elites of the West, the Russian economy not only has not broken down, but is also improving its position, including in terms of high-tech military production..
    73
  50. The UK will not send its military to Ukraine while the conflict is going on, said Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak, which I will also talk about on my channel, because Sunak's words are contrary to statements from the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense, which has already announced the sending of military personnel to Ukraine, and warships in the Black Sea..
