Comments by "Levan Gudadze - Opinion" (@LevanGudadze) on "Alexander Mercouris" channel.

  1. Vladimir Putin signed a decree on retaliatory measures against the seizure of Russian assets abroad. According to the document, in the event of deprivation or restriction of rights to Russian property abroad, external management is introduced for the assets of unfriendly countries on the territory of Russia.

  2. The Russian side refutes Kyiv’s information about the capture of Rabotino by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Zaporozhye region, which I also talked about on my channel, emphasizing that this settlement is not even on the first line of defense of the Russian armed forces.
    125
  3. Russian-made combat training aircraft Yak-130 were delivered to Iran, according to Russian media, which I will talk about on my channel too, because these aircraft are used to train pilots for Russian Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, which are also likely to appear in the armed forces of Iran in the near future..
    124
  4. In the updates of the last days on my channel, I predicted that time was running out for Zelensky to start negotiations with Moscow on a humanitarian corridor for the Bakhmut garrison. It looks like I was right. RT sources report this evening that the battle for the central part of Bakhmut has begun. Presumably, the advanced groups of the Wagner PMC were able to cross the Bakhmutka River from the east side of the city and began moving towards the city center. According to RT, between the market, the bus station and the building of the Artyomov school No. 5 there is a company stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a system of passages under the houses and an ammunition depot. These places are located in the geographical center of the city.

  5. In the Ukrainian port of Odessa, a dry cargo ship under the Liberian flag, which violated the "grain deal was damaged by a missile strike, which I will talk about in the news update on my channel, too, since according to a number of sources, this may be the first case, when the Russian side struck a ship violating the naval blockade of Ukraine, although the possibility cannot be ruled out that the ship was hit by a faulty Ukrainian air defense missile..
    115
  6. For military experts, it is obvious that Ukraine will not be able to win on the battlefield, only Western politicians do not dare to admit this, said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which I will talk about on my channel too, since the reluctance of the Western so-called ruling elite to come to terms with reality and admitting defeat in the battle with Russia only prolongs the conflict in Ukraine and generates more casualties and destruction..
    115
  7. Russian media and big telegram channels are reporting today here in Russia that Wagner PMC units control all roads in the direction of Bakhmut, which I also talked about on my channel in today's update, because if these data are accurate, then Bakhmut is surrounded and retreat Ukrainian forces from the city will no longer be able, at least without the risk of being under dense Russian fire. In recent days, the Wagner PMC has achieved quite serious success in the direction of Bakhmut. In addition, Ukrainian telegram channels report that the Russian side is preparing for an attack on Avdiivka and plans to encircle this city.
    113
  8. I don't know if the recent statement by American journalist Seymour Hersh has received attention or not, but he said that certain groups in the US leadership are preparing plans for the US to enter the conflict in Ukraine. I also spoke about this on my channel in today's update, but I will share Hersh's words here too, because according to his data, US forces can directly intervene in the Ukrainian crisis in the event of a failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “I don’t know what will happen if the situation goes badly for Ukraine. They tell me that the game will be like this: “this is NATO, we support NATO in offensive operations against the Russians.” But this will not fool the world, will not fool us, I hope. <...> It is we who are fighting against Russia. But why should we do this?" asked the investigative reporter.
    113
  9. My prediction is that Bakhmut will come under Russian control in the coming days, before February 20-21, when Russian President Putin will address the federal assembly. I noted this in my today's update, pointing out the deplorable situation of the Bakhmut garrison and the city nearby Chasov Yar. In addition, today here in Russia, a number of media reported that the Ukrainian side has lost control of the highway between Bakhmut and Chasov Yar and is no longer able to safely move to and from Bakhmut. If the information is correct, this is another reason for the Ukrainian side to leave the besieged city in the coming days.
    112
  10. Zelensky decided to destroy the last remnants of combat-ready units still loyal to him?.. If the Zelensky regime launches a counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region as well, then this regime may collapse earlier than I thought, for example, by the end of autumn..
    108
  11. I did not have time to talk about this on my channel today, but tomorrow I will certainly take the time to inform that China intends to increase its nuclear arsenal to 900 nuclear warheads by 2035. This is another result of the overly aggressive geopolitical game of the West.
    105
  12. To liberate Maryinka in the DPR, it remains to take control of one section in the west of the city, however, Ukrainian troops "resist" and continue to transfer reserves, Denis Pushilin, the acting head of the republic, said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel. I will talk about this on my channel in tomorrow's update, because Marinka has been a hot spot on the front line almost from the very beginning of the special military operation.
    104
  13. The rerouting of U.S. drones in the Black Sea region following the Reaper drone incident has limited U.S. intelligence-gathering capabilities, CNN told CNN, citing a senior Pentagon source. Perhaps I will also talk about this topic in more detail on my channel in the next update. Should be interesting.
    102
  14. Russian seaborne oil exports soared to a three-month high last week despite Western sanctions and Moscow's decision to extend supply curbs to the end of the year, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing tanker-tracking data, which I will talk about on my channel too , because Contrary to the expectations of the ruling circles of the West, the Russian economy is achieving success not only in the energy sector, but also in all others, thereby ensuring GDP growth greater than the leading G7 countries.
    101
  15. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki warned Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky against new insults to Warsaw and said that Zelensky should never again allow himself to insult the Poles the way he recently insulted during his speech at the UN, and I will of course talk about this topic at my channel too, since the current confrontation between Warsaw and Kiev may well be the beginning of preparing the ground for the upcoming Polish invasion of Western Ukraine..
    101
  16. Ukraine has lost over 13,700 troops and approximately 1,800 tanks and other heavy weapons so far this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told his government colleagues on Tuesday during a ministerial meeting, which I will talk about on my channel too, since at the same time the minister defense spoke about the general state of the Russian armed forces, noting that the military industrial complex has significantly increased the production of weapons systems and ammunition, including drones, missiles, armored vehicles and even warships.

  17. I just shared information with subscribers on my channel that according to the statements of Akhmat special forces commander, deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the LPR Apty Alaudinov, DPR will be liberated in the next month and a half. According to him, Russian Armed Forces are squeezing Ukrainian formations in the Ugledar and Artemivsk directions and they slowly beginning to retreat back, losing a lot of manpower. The situation on the battlefield makes it possible to say that In the next month or month and a half at most Donetsk People's Republic will be liberated. I wonder how such statements would be assessed by such recognized military experts as Scott Ritter and Douglas Macgregor.
    99
  18. A clear spike in gamma radiation was detected in Khmelnitsky on or about May 12th, with emission continuing to rise the following day and remaining at the elevated level thereafter. On my channel, I'll also talk about this, because if the reports of an increase in gamma radiation are accurate, it turns out that Russian forces destroyed a warehouse with an incredible amount of depleted uranium shells 2 days ago.
    97
  19. During the month of September, the armed forces of the Russian Federation neutralized more than 17,000 Ukrainian military personnel and over 2,700 units of military equipment, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, which I will also talk about on my channel, because many are wondering how long the Ukrainian armed forces will be able to withstand extremely high losses in manpower and military equipment..
    97
  20. The G7 countries intend to provide Ukraine with at least $39 billion in financial assistance in 2023. I will probably talk about this on my channel in a new update, because the intention to allocate tens of billions more to the Zelensky regime is mentioned in a joint document adopted following the meeting of the heads of the Finance Ministry and the Central Banks of the Group of Seven countries (G7) held on Thursday in Bangalore. How many more taxpayers money will the West send to Kyiv?
    95
  21. Russian troops during a special operation as a result of a missile attack in the Nikolaev region destroyed up to 300 foreign mercenaries.
    92
  22. Fighters of the Russian volunteer brigade "Wolves" during heavy fighting in the direction of Soledar in the DPR captured a group of Polish mercenaries, which I will talk about in more detail on my channel too, because recently a rumor has been actively circulating on the Internet, that up to 10,000 Polish citizens fighting on the side of the Kyiv regime have already died or been wounded on the Ukrainian battlefield..
    91
  23. Many will probably find this information surprising, given the current level of relations between the collective West and Russia or Belarus, but it turns out that France refused to give Ukraine a digital map of Belarus, which would allow combat aircraft to make reconnaissance flights over its territory, according to the publication of the Le Monde newspaper, citing sources . It is noted that we are talking about terrain elevation data (DTED), which is a digital terrain model indicating obstacles such as power lines, wind farms and military installations.
    91
  24. Tests of the Burevestnik intercontinental cruise missile with a nuclear power source have been completed, Vladimir Putin said at a plenary meeting of the Valdai international discussion club, which I will talk about on my channel too, since this complex is the first in the world with a practical unlimited range and the ability to hit any point on the planet at hypersonic speed..
    91
  25. In the Kherson region this evening, Russian air defense shot down 3 Ukrainian missiles flying towards Crimea, the regional governor Vladimir Saldo said in his Telegram channel, which I will talk about on my channel too, since according to a number of sources, during the attack, a US P-8A "Poseidon" reconnaissance aircraft was patrolling over the Black Sea, which may be an indicator that the Ukrainian strike was coordinated with the Pentagon and if so, within the next few hours, the Kiev regime may carry out a second and much larger-scale missile launch in the direction Crimea and other regions of southern Russia..
    91
  26. According to Russian media, the appeal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly may take place on February 20 or 21. If this is true, is it possible to assume that Bakhmut and Ugledar will come under the full control of the Russian forces by this date? It seems to me that this is a quite possible prospect, which I partially spoke about in today's update on my channel. In addition, the expected large-scale winter offensive of the Russian armed forces will probably not begin until February 20-21, or maybe this offensive will not take place in the winter at all and will begin in the spring. That's also a possibility, isn't it?
    89
  27. The General Staff has no plans for additional mobilization, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, which I will also talk about on my channel, since the high numbers of people willing to sign a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and participate in a special military operation really minimizes the likelihood or necessity of a second wave of partial mobilization..
    87
  28. The Russian economy has withstood unprecedented external pressure and fully recovered, the country's GDP has reached the level of 2021, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, which I will also talk about on my channel, because contrary to the expectations of many and especially the so- called Western elites, the Russian economy really shows positive growth dynamics, unemployment has reached its minimum levels and the real incomes of citizens are gradually rising again..
    87
  29. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost up to 800 military and over two dozen armored vehicles and artillery systems over the past 24 hours, as well as one Su-25 attack aircraft and one Mi-8 helicopter, which I will also talk about on my channel, because recently the daily losses of the Ukrainian armed forces have increased significantly in a number of sectors of the front, according to data from the Russian Ministry of Defense..
    81
  30. I wonder if I will ever be invited to The Duran as the host of my channel. Probably not, but it would be interesting to talk with Alex and Alexander..
    81
  31. According to various sources, units loyal to Zelensky on the very first day of the long-announced offensive lost up to 1 200 soldiers killed and wounded, as well as up to 50 units of armored combat vehicles and 2 Su-25 attack aircraft. An expensive price for a PR campaign for Zelensky, who had to justify himself to the West and now he has such an opportunity.. I’ll probably make a video on this topic for my channel tomorrow morning, there will be more information by then .
    81
  32. Russian air defense today shot down three Ukrainian missiles launched towards the Crimean bridge, which I will talk about in more detail on my channel too, because this is not the first and I'm afraid not the last case when Kiev is trying to destroy this civilian infrastructure object..
    80
  33. UK Secret Service MI6 plans to send Ukrainian mercenaries to Africa according to media reports, which I talked about in more detail on my channel too, because I think Ukrainian mercenaries can introduce themselves as Wagnerians, speaking in Russian, commit cruel crimes, and give London the opportunity to start another wave of anti-Russian hysteria and also try to influence the relationship between Russia and a number of African countries.
    79
  34. Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian armed forces have lost up to 550 military and several dozen combat systems, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and artillery, which I will talk about in more detail on my channel too, because recently it has become especially obvious that the Ukrainian army is experiencing a significant lack of manpower and equipment even in the main directions of the so-called counteroffensive.
    79
  35. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny may become a defendant in a criminal case about the loss of southern lands, he has already been interviewed by investigators, writes BBC Ukraine, which I will talk about on my channel too , since apparently, the forecasts about the conflict between Zelensky and Zaluzhny are confirmed and Zaluzhny may soon lose not only his position, but also his freedom, becoming a scapegoat, unless of course he gets ahead of Zelensky and carries out a military coup, which is also a possibility..
    77
  36. The President of the Republic of South Africa (RSA), Cyril Ramaphosa, called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Israel's actions in Palestine against the backdrop of “war crimes” occurring in the region, which I will talk about on my channel in a news update too, as there are more and more calls for The ICC, although everyone understands perfectly well that this organization is an instrument of the ruling elites of the West and will do nothing against the criminals involved in the extermination of the Palestinians.
    76
  37. Before the critical escalation between Russia and the so-called ruling elite of the West, the share of European Union countries in trade in Russia's foreign trade was 50% or more, now this share has decreased to 16%, and the share of Asian countries has grown to almost 70 % and continues to grow, which I will talk about on my channel too, since today it is obvious to many that with the sanctions war the West made a huge gift to the global south, pushing Moscow towards greater integration with Asia, further increasing the chances of the multipolar world in the fight with the West dominance..
    74
  38. The evacuation of residents of 31 villages in the Kiev-controlled part of the Kherson region was announced by Ukraine, which I will talk about on my channel too, because such a step by the Ukrainian authorities may be an indicator that the Russian armed forces may be planning large-scale offensive operations in this direction, as well as in the northern sectors front in the Kharkov region, where Kiev recently also announced mandatory evacuation in more than 70 settlements..
    73
  39. If the current administration in the White House continues what it has been doing so far in the Middle East, regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, then new fronts will be opened up against the United States, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned, which I will talk about at my channel too, as the risk of a regional war in the Middle East increases with every passing day.
    73
  40. The Russian side still refutes Kyiv's information about the capture of Rabotino by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Zaporozhye region, which I also talked about on my channel, emphasizing that this settlement is not even on the first line of defense of the Russian armed forces.
    70
  41. Russia declared two US Embassy employees persona non grata and demanded that they leave the country, which I will also talk about on my channel, because further escalation between Russia and Western countries could in the near future lead to a complete suspension of diplomatic relations..
    70
  42. You may find it hard to believe this information, but it's true, 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. Tomorrow on my channel I will definitely talk about this topic in an update, because I have said many times that Warsaw is preparing to enter into a conflict with the Russian Federation and it looks like we have the first official confirmation of my assumption. Of course, the conflict with Russia will not bring anything good for Poland, but it seems it is too late to fix anything. Washington and London will soon begin to fight with the Russian Federation to the last Pole. They'll definitely try.
    69
  43. Some may not know that the government of Ukraine could face a shortage of money and not be unable to pay salaries if the US Congress fails to approve another injection of funds into the Ukrainian economy, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, which I will talk about on my channel too, because even if the taxpayers of Western countries do not like it, they need to know that the US and other donor nations currently pay the salaries of some 150,000 civil servants in Ukraine as well as over half a million teachers, professors, school workers in general, hundreds of thousands of military personnel and in general everyone who receives a salary from the state budget, that is, over a million people..
    69
  44. 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 fields battles are pushing the desperate leaders of Ukraine to extreme and extremely inadequate steps..
    68
  45. Over the past week, fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down 4 Ukrainian aircraft - Su-24M, MiG-29 and 2 Su-25 attack aircraft of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, also destroying one Mig-29 at the airfield and four radar stations with the help of strike drones, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported, which I will also talk about on my channel, since the complete neutralization of the Ukrainian air forces is becoming priority number one in light of the latest attacks on Crimea and Sevastopol..
    67
  46. According to reports from a number of sources, this evening coordinated missile and drone strikes were carried out on three US military bases in Syria, which I will also talk about on my channel, since in the event of further attacks on the US military, it is quite possible that Washington will be forced to begin withdrawing its troops from Syria and maybe from Iraq too, or vice versa, go for escalation and another large-scale military campaign in these countries..
    67
  47. On Tuesday, November 28, in St. Petersburg, a ceremony was held to transfer the diesel-electric submarine Mozhaisk, carrying Kalibr-PL cruise missiles, to the Pacific Fleet, which I will talk about on my channel too, since according to reports in According to Russian media, by the end of the year the Russian Navy will receive 2 more such submarines.
    66
  48. I don’t know if the audience is informed here, on my channel I already wrote about this, Ukrainian telegram channels report this evening (Moscow time) that the chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, is asking Zelensky to start withdrawing troops from Seversk, which has lost its supply routes and will become the next target of the Russian army. "The commander-in-chief, Zaluzhny, considers it pointless to hold the city, which currently does not play a role in strategic terms, and its retention will cost a lot of forces for the Armed Forces of Ukraine." We may soon hear report if interested in ts of an operational encirclement of Seversk. At the same time, Bloomberg reports that the Netherlands is considering the transfer of the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. The Dutch government is studying the possibility of transferring the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. This was reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday. According to the sources of the editorial office, the authorities will soon make a final decision on this issue. Other details are not given.
    63
  49. Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian armed forces have lost up to 700 military and several dozen combat systems, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and artillery, which I will talk about in the news update on my channel too, as at the moment the only question that remains is how long the Ukrainian armed forces will be able to withstand such losses before the final collapse.
    60
  50. Perhaps I will also talk about this topic on my channel in the next update, because it is probably interesting that according to CNN, Russia has no doubt that the US and NATO are directly or indirectly involved in the conflict in Ukraine. This is stated in a statement by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
