All right, Alexander, let's talk about the military situation in Ukraine.

And we have an update from Yerazimov, as well as many significant Russian advances.

And Zelensky, giving many interviews and talking about how he's done with the United States,

he's done with Trump, and

he's going to make a lot of drones and a lot of weapons. He may even be replacing the Patriot

Air Defense system. That is, that is what Zelensky is cooking up. What are your thoughts?

Yes, I mean, Zelensky is becoming ever more grandiose and ever more detached from reality. Now, by contrast, Gerasimov,

he went again and visited one of the military headquarters and he again did what he's been doing

since late summer, which is providing us with a very detailed update of the situation on the

battlefronts. And it's very, very interesting. And again, it's worth pointing out that this is a

relatively recent development in this war. It only started at the end of the summer. Anyway,

let's just go through what Gerassim has said.

Firstly, he said that the Battle of Dombas is now coming to an end,

that the days for the liberation of Slaviansk and Kramatosk are now approaching,

and that once these two places fall, the battle for Dombas is ended.

He actually said that, and it was, I think he's concluding words.

And he said that the Russians are now very close to these places.

In some places, there are only 11 kilometers away, in other words,

well within artillery range. And that in all other respects, in every other place, right across

the battlefronts, the Russians are advancing and the Ukrainians are retreating.

Now, he spoke briefly about the Ukrainian counterattack in Zaborogia.

He said this had been completely unsuccessful.
