00:00all right alexander let's talk about uh project ukraine and let's talk about uh some of the um

00:06some of the diplomacy some of the comments and statements that are coming out of uh out of

00:12ukraine out of zelensky he's looking very panicky talking about uh odessa he's very worried about

00:19odessa should should have taken istanbul plus yeah so let's keep um germany is now saying they're

00:25not going to uh deliver the tourist missiles to to ukraine so i imagine they're going to start

00:31taking the tourist missiles that they have in ukraine and sending them back to germany now is

00:34that is that the plan from uh from mertz and uh and pistorius and um and and russia continues on the on

00:45the front lines i mean what what else can we say i mean they're they advance in sumi they uh they're

00:50they're they're they're really hammering uh all of the the military facilities throughout ukraine

00:56especially kiev and harkov and and i mean they're really going after the the drone manufacturing

01:03the supply chain uh everything they're they're really hitting all of this and and i do think

01:08it's having an effect on on ukraine's ability to to especially send drones uh into russia absolutely

01:16i can i just say i mean again i'm somebody who's quite accustomed to dealing with panic and you're

01:21starting to see signs of panic you're starting to see them with zelensky himself and this is unusual

01:26by the way zelensky whatever you may say of him has up to now um been living very detached from the

01:33realities of the front line he he rarely talks about them but now he's talking about odessa as you

01:39correctly say which he's never done quite in this way before that the russians are coming for odessa

01:47he's also um clearly very alarmed about the situation with the air defenses and we've had

01:55an absolutely fantastical situation where even as ukraine gets hammered every night apparently there's

02:01up to 500 gerrand drones operating in the skies over ukraine every night now and these are not

02:10like the gerrand trans we saw in 2022 they become much more sophisticated they fly much higher some of

02:18them have jet engines so that makes them um basically simple missiles except they're not that simple

02:26and others carry warheads that are six times more powerful than the original ones you know some of

02:32them engage in drone attacks some of them use some levels of ai technology others are actually um

02:40controlled from you know long range by russian operators so you know we're talking about incredibly

02:47complex attacks using these drones um supplemented by ballistic missiles and all of this anyways olenski's

02:56people have been claiming that they're shooting down almost every one 500 drones and only two get through

03:01except that these two then managed to destroy about 20 locations i mean ludicrous things when that starts

03:09to happen you can get a sense that things are starting to turn very bad and um pistorius rushes to kiev of

03:19course when i say rushes he has to get there by train he comes firstly with the bad news we can't use the

03:28tourist missiles um my own guess is that matt's had his meeting with trump we covered it you remember

03:36trump said no tourist missiles no missile strikes against russia and i think that the events with

03:44the drone attacks on the air bases and the reaction that's been to that has probably hardened that view

03:49so pistorius comes with the bad news no tourist missile strikes against russia but apparently he's

03:57also gone in order to get a hurried briefing from the ukrainians about the situation on the front lines

04:03that's the messaging that we are getting and and then even kellogg makes comments and people haven't

04:15noticed but he's slightly modifying his plan because his original plan required the russians to pull back

04:24from some of their uh some of the ground that they'd capture that they would pull back from the

04:29kinbun sprit that they'd hand over the zaporozhia nuclear power plant he's now saying that whatever

04:37the russians control they have so he's he's slightly changed even he is beginning to understand that things

04:48are not going um you know going at all well so you know it's perhaps not yet the full scale uh oh my god

04:59what are we going to do panic that we saw briefly well not so briefly but we saw for a time after the

05:07fall of avdevka last year and which we're going to get when pakrovsk or konstantinovka or kubianska

05:14one of these or sumi uh all of those places falls but um we are we are starting to see the first signs

05:20of that yeah when all of them fall where all of them all of them uh uh fall do you think russia is going to

05:26fall for for any of this stuff from people like kellogg or let's say germany comes out and says you

05:31know we're ready to to talk i believe mertz said something the other day that that he tried to reach

05:37out to putin he alluded to some sort of reaching out from the europeans to russia but russia wasn't

05:43having any of it i mean do you think that that istanbul plus is still on the table oh absolutely i mean

05:51going back to kellogg i mean kellogg uh he comes out and he's now talking about you know if the

05:56russians accept that you know freeze on the front lines they hold what they have he's basically saying

06:04all the sanctions all of the sanctions going back to 2014 will be lifted the russians are not going to

06:10accept any of this i mean um the um chief negotiator the russian chief negotiator medinsky has now been

06:18speaking and he's made it absolutely clear that the russians are not going to retreat one millimeter

06:25from istanbul plus so i mean that is if you if you want to do the deal istanbul plus is still there

06:33still there is still there i mean do that deal before all of these terrible things that people are

06:39worrying about happen i mean the russians are now advancing into dnepro dnepropetrovsk it's actually

06:45apparently still nipropetrovsk region the city is called nipro but the region is still nipro nipropetrovsk

06:51region um um they there are apparently very few settlements that can be converted into fortified

06:59positions there there's little scope to create uh you know trenches the ukrainians there are outnumbered

07:06five to one or so they claim i believe that by the way i mean one gets the sense that the ukrainian

07:12army is becoming increasingly thin on the ground in many different places so you know the the russians

07:18can advance uh you know once they clear the remaining places places like novel pavlovka which they will

07:24clear that they could perhaps start to advance quite rapidly so i just think the russians are under any

07:32incentive any real incentive to slow down from their point of view i don't think they believe that the

07:40sanctions are going to be lifted i don't think they're impressed with the idea of having the

07:45sanctions lifted because there's all sorts of people in russia who say why do we want to lift

07:52the sanctions when we're doing actually quite well with them better than would be the case if they were

08:01lifted there's even been an article for the first time acknowledging this in the financial times by the

08:07way they were talking about the uh company that's taken over the mcdonald's franchise in russia and

08:14the fact that they're coming along telling putin for heaven's sake don't ever agree to let mcdonald's

08:21back because that would be we would have to hand over all the property and that would be a disaster for us

08:27and putin's giving them assurances that's never going to happen so i mean the point i'm making is i

08:33don't see that the russians feel under any pressure or feel any incentive to um make

08:41fundamental concessions i don't think they're impressed by lindsey graham's sanctions i think

08:47after see xinping's warning the united states is not going to go ahead with uh those sort of sanctions

08:54the situation in the middle east anyway is probably now going to be the major issue for the united states

09:01with the conflict between israel and iran i think the russians will feel that you know this is the

09:08moment for them to achieve victory and to dictate terms and that the opportunities for peace have been

09:16thrown away by the ukrainians and the westerners western powers repeatedly and if they come to their

09:24senses and go for istanbul plus at some point within the next few weeks it's still there on the table

09:32but by autumn when cities in the donbass start to fall when pakrovsk and konstantinovka and other

09:44places perhaps are captured when the russians are deeper inside neapropedrov's region then of course the

09:51russians might say look that was that was a proposal we made in june 2024 when the conditions were very

09:59different then from what they are now now the situation has changed you can't expect us to go

10:08back to that which we preserved proposed in june 2024 medinsky has said it putin has said it but

10:16vedeff has said it lavrov has said it many many many times the more proposals reasonable proposals as

10:23the russians would say are rejected the steeper the price for a settlement becomes and i think that is

10:30going to continue to be the russian view so as uh as the united states is uh as kellogg as kellogg is

10:39is reworking his freeze plan um and russia is advancing the uh the putin administration is

10:46building up its military absolutely i mean we had outside of of ukraine i mean well it's connected to

10:52ukraine but it's also connected against uh the moves that that europe and nato is allegedly making with

11:00with their 150 800 billion funds and the nato build up on the eastern flank and all of this stuff

11:05that they're talking about i mean russia's reacting to this as well they are absolutely

11:09reacting to is now there was a massive there was a huge meeting in moscow in the kremlin in which

11:16putin chaired all the top civilian people were there the people from the military industrial complex

11:22the people from the government bellows of the defense minister was there mishustin the prime minister

11:27was there all of the military people were there and they were talking about um setting military

11:34development priorities for the next 10 years uh which is you know the kind of thing that the russians

11:41do so um obviously there was the attack on the air bases so they're now going to start hardening up

11:47the air bases um so that is a big departure from the start treaty and probably that means the start

11:55treaty is dead if i have no doubt that it is dead and they they've putin has just signed off apparently

12:03on a huge development program to build up the navy and then in this meeting in the kremlin

12:12the russians said the time has come to build up the army as well the ground forces new tanks new

12:21armored vehicles new guns new drone systems every conceivable thing up to now in terms of allocations

12:29the ground forces the military the army has been the cinderella service within the russian military

12:36i mean after when the when the russians began to rebuild their military around the middle of the 2000s

12:43they prioritized their air defense system their strategic forces to some extent their submarine forces

12:50their surface fleet but the army itself was expected to soldier on with soviet-era equipment you know the

13:00t-72s the bmp-3s that sort of thing now apparently there's going to be a massive upgrade and the russians can

13:10do it i mean they've shown that they have the industrial resources to do these sort of things and they

13:18absolutely have the financial resources to do them too i mean people are not aware of the fact that um

13:25russia um um the gdp the debt to gdp ratio over the period of the special military operation

13:35has apparently fallen because growth in the economy and tax receipts have been so high

13:42so they can afford it and they can do it now contrast that with the situation in europe i was

13:49you know we've had a strategic defense review in britain about upgrading the british armed forces

13:56um in fact if you actually go through it carefully it acknowledges that the size of the british army

14:04is going to be cut and they are talking about a new factory to build howitzers and that factory

14:15is going to be staffed the the staff is going to number 200 people you know every you know the whole

14:22person i mean it it it microscopic i mean russian factories armaments factories

14:29have staffs of thousands and we're talking about around 200 and so the military balance

14:40in in europe is going to start steadily shifting in russian favor even as the military situation

14:51in ukraine means that the russian military is getting closer and closer to central europe as well just saying

14:58just a quick final question will russia retaliate to the uh to the um airfield attacks and the terrorist

15:05attacks on the trains or have they retaliated they will definitely respond to the terrorist attacks on

15:13the trains now i i actually believe and i have reasons for thinking this um as a british citizen uh because

15:20i'm getting chatter from people in britain people who've had contacts with people in russia i believe

15:27that the russian that the russians have already been quietly upgrading aspects of their special

15:35military operation into a counter-terrorist operation and that they're starting to take reprisals against

15:41the british there was the attack on the visa center in kiev there have been restrictions on contacts

15:47between people who are british with people in russia even you know ordinary contacts i i think we're going

15:57to see an awful lot more of that but i think in terms of the attack on the trains and which was a terrorist attack

16:05my my sense is that the russians are going to do

16:09a kind of covert operation they're going to start targeting senior ukrainian officials but they're

16:18going to start looking to assassinate them not by missile strikes but by sending agents they're

16:24going to start doing the same thing with probably the british as well which i find absolutely horrifying

16:30but there it is i think we're going to start to see a steady crank up of that kind of thing over the

16:37next few months and years and the russians have massive experience and huge resources to do this

16:44sort of thing and it will be very very very bad for us when it starts to happen now about the attacks on

16:51the air bases i think putin apparently told trump that the russians would respond and i think they will

16:58respond and i think that what they're basically waiting to do is to build up their uh oreshniks

17:05stockpiles and at some point in the summer we'll start to see them being used as well but the overall

17:12priority for the russians as i've said many times is to win the war but um we we are now entering into

17:21the dirty war the russians didn't start it we did and we're going to see see that play out and

17:30unfortunately it's probably going to play out over many years yeah well the russians didn't start it

17:38but i think they're going to finish it they're going to finish it this is turning out very bad for the

17:43the trump administration it could not be he really screwed this one up so many off-ramps no

17:50completely agree i totally agree well all right we'll end the video there at the duran.locals.com

17:56we are rumble audience and picture telegram rock for the next go to the duran shop pick up some rich

18:01like what we are wearing in this video update link is in the description box down below take care
