Kevin LeachGUEST
One thing that I'd caution people against is taking too much from this as well.
Kevin LeachGUEST
You know, you can read the article, the interview with Andrei Biletsky, and there's some sort of telling stuff in there.
Kevin LeachGUEST
They're saying, you know, before one assault, they even conducted war gaming and rehearsals.
Kevin LeachGUEST
The even in there is doing a lot of work because that's not a new practice.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Now, Kateryna Judzhmina, who's a student, uh, living nearby, told our friends at the Kyiv Independent, "It was very scary for me because I was sleeping one second and immediately an explosion.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Of course, there was panic." Now elsewhere, Andrii Biletskyi has temporarily handed over command of Third Army Corps.
Dominic NichollsHOST
He's been seconded to command the temporary center grouping of forces while officially retaining his former position.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Former commander of the Ukrainian 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Dmytro Rozhynuk, is now acting commander of Ukraine's Third Army Corps.
Kyle AnzaloneHOST
What does a Russian victory look like at this point? Uh, you say, you know, Putin thinks that this thing could be wrapped up in six, seven months from now.
Kyle AnzaloneHOST
Does that mean Russia takes Kiev, Odesa, Ukraine's Black Sea coastline? And then of course, what of so, like the Ukrainian Third Army division, which is led by Andriy Biletsky, a v- pretty open neo-Nazi, uh, will Russia be fighting insurgency in what parts of Ukraine they control post-war?
Larry JohnsonGUEST
Um, the, the, the victory will include the capture of Kiev and the capture of Odesa.
Larry JohnsonGUEST
And, you know, if they fight, uh, an insurgency, there'll be, there'll be an insurgency.
Chris CappyHOST
They were using the weakness of everything being visible as a strength.
Chris CappyHOST
3rd Army Corps commanding officer Andrii Biletskyi described how the plan worked even better than he'd hoped, saying, quote, "The enemy was convinced the main axis of attack was to the south.
Chris CappyHOST
This forced it to senselessly burn through its reserves and counterattacks specifically along that axis.
Chris CappyHOST
The Russians slept through the real strike, which was focused on capturing Nov." Sir, that is a absolutely outrageous amount of mileage to get out of one deception campaign, and I love it.
Dominic NichollsHOST
More on that later during Sophie's updates.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Now, on the ground in Ukraine, Andriy Biletskyi, the commander of Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps, says Operation Vivaldi has concluded with the liberation of another 101 square kilometers of territory.
Dominic NichollsHOST
He said Russia lost about 3,000 soldiers during this phase.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Operation Vivaldi started a few weeks ago, you'll remember, in the area north of Lyman in the Donbas.
Piers MorganHOST
Mm.
Scott HortonGUEST
I wish that you had asked Zelensky, "What about Dmytro Yarosh from Right Sector who helped overthrow the government in 2014, who threatened to hang Zelensky from a tree on Kremenchuk Street," the main drag in Kiev, I'm sure I'm pronouncing that wrong, forgive me, "uh, if he would dare to negotiate a peace with Russia? And is he afraid of the radical right inside his military such as Andrii Biletsky, the leader of the Third Army Corps who's leading the Vivaldi campaign right now?" He's the author of the book The Word of the White Leader, and the author of the speech Ukrainian Racial Social Nationalism, and he's the guy who said he's leading the white race against the Semitic-led Untermenschen.
Piers MorganHOST
Wow.
Scott HortonGUEST
And is the third or fourth most popular political figure in Ukraine right now, and has made his political ambitions absolutely clear.
Joanna KakissisCORRESPONDENT
Well, yes, it is.
Joanna KakissisCORRESPONDENT
Uh, the commander of the Third Army Corps, Andriy Biletsky, said last month that the counteroffensive is called Operation Vivaldi.
Joanna KakissisCORRESPONDENT
It's a reference to the Italian composer's famous violin concertos of The Four Seasons, and you've probably heard it.
Joanna KakissisCORRESPONDENT
Bum, bum, bum, bum, ba da dum.
Mykola BielieskovGUEST
And also, he instituted a new level of command, like groupings of forces, and now we have two groupings of forces.
Mykola BielieskovGUEST
One is Azov, another is center, which is headed by two renowned corps level commanders, which is Andrii Biletskyi and Denys Prokopenko, and both of them are from Azov volunteer movement.
Mykola BielieskovGUEST
And it's a good indirect proof that no one is going to surrender Donetsk region, because if it was otherwise, they were not going to be promoted.
Mykola BielieskovGUEST
So Drapaty published his vision where he promised to institute culture of truth because we should be honest that previous commander in chief didn't manage to build this culture of truth and information was distorted.
Balázs JarábikGUEST
And it's one of, I think it's one of the blockade toward the talks as well, simply because the Russians are still keep demanding or requesting, depending on your viewpoint, Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas, which in the current military circumstances, particularly in talking about the frontline, it's not simply possible.
Balázs JarábikGUEST
And Zelensky is also kind of outsourcing the new leadership of the army, Drapati, you know, the Azov generals are now, Prokopenko and Biletsky are now in charge of the Donbass front, you know, is much more patriotic.
Balázs JarábikGUEST
We'll see what kind of reforms they can carry on during the war because it's, Not initially impossible, but it's a very, very hard task,
Kateryna ShynkarukGUEST
obviously.
Peter EricksonHOST
You know, we talked about that, that big counteroffensive.
Peter EricksonHOST
That's Andrei Biletsky.
Peter EricksonHOST
He was probably the, the, the, the, the most, uh, well-known and most powerful, uh, ultra-nationalist leader within, um, within Ukraine.
Peter EricksonHOST
In fact, you know, he has a title.
