Video of Zelensky´s Advisor and Spokesman Arestovich's interview about Ukrainians
Arestovich: You know and the Ukrainian authorities are not working properly either. They despise the people, believe me despises them and doesn't consider them humans and has all rights to do so apart from one. They're human beings after all. Ukrainian people, activists, social activists, all those businessmen, all those burning patriots are all stupid, unskilled, brainless, emotional, controllable, poor in spirit, but still human beings.
Interviewer: Do you mean the people?
Arestovich: Everybody, activists, common people, etc. In this country you can hardly find people who you can talk to and who understand what's going on.
Interviewer: Apart from you?
Arestovich: Let's not point fingers at ourselves. And the rest are unfortunate. They bathe in their own misfortunes. They're uneducated, stupid, without any experience in civil life or in government management.
Interviewer: These people have not had proper power.
Arestovich: That's not the case.
Interviewer: If only these people had the power.
Arestovich: Svetlana, thank God these people don't have this power. If the people take the power, I will run away from this country.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's losses are in the 200,000 area.
I am posting something from a Ukrainian soldier here and right under it I am going to repost something from a Russian that covers the same time period and location. They seem to be seeing things the same way so it gives a clear picture of what it actually going on.

What is there to lose, what else can be taken from me on the sixth day of my personal hell, in Pisky, a kilometer from the first street of Donetsk, Ukraine? The bodies of those who were dearer to me than my family are lying under the heat in the trenches, broken by the 152 caliber. As I wrote earlier, 6,500 shells per damn village in less than a day.
Sands. Meat grinder 01
It’s been six such days already, and I can’t imagine how even a small number of our infantry survived in this barrage of enemy fire.
No, I’m not whining.
Two mortars 82 and 120 are working on our side.
Sometimes he wakes up and “sneezes” two artillery barrels in the direction of Donetsk.
We hardly respond. There is no counter-battery fire, from the word go, the enemy puts artillery shells in our trenches without any problems, dismantles very strong, concrete positions in tens of minutes, pushing our defense line without pause or minimal rest.
The day before yesterday, it broke, and a river of two or three hundred was poured. I will not publish any statistics, it is forbidden in our country, but you have no idea the number and percentage of losses.
This is a hell of a meat grinder, where the battalion simply holds back the onslaught with their bodies.
For almost a week, we have been waiting for at least some kind of help that would hit the enemy’s artillery, we, I repeat, are being fired with impunity with everything that the Russian military system is rich in, the aviation was working today.
I am proud of the leadership of the battalion that remained here with us. The combatant is with us, all of us are with us, contused, light three hundred, bandaged and returned after a couple of hours to the position, if you can call these bottomless ravines that way.
There is a war going on.
But without a counter-battery fight, it turns into a senseless meat grinder, where an insane amount of our infantry is ground up in a day.
Did you really want the truth? Here it is, the naked truth.
The reserve goes to the position, closes the breakthrough, and after five minutes only one of the 15 people remains intact.
The bodies lie. If it’s a light 300, maybe you’ll be lucky, you’ll faint, and you’ll get out on foot, you’ll reach the medics.
They just took the three hundredth. He shouted all the way: - Where is the support? Where is the artillery? Why were we abandoned? Why didn’t anyone cover us?
I don’t know, my friend, why no one covered us... He screams, and I’m ashamed that I’m still safe and sound, only a couple of good deafening.
I threw up, I’m sorry, and I’m back in action.
All reserves are destroyed, military equipment is on fire, the enemy approaches and without any problems occupies our positions after another barrage of artillery.
Right now we are losing the Sands, all our human and material resources are almost exhausted.
Denys, a resident of Mariupol, who told me “well, I believe the arrestee, we will return everything very soon” is dead. He was wounded twice, they tied him up right in the trench, they told him, Denchyk, go to the evacuation, but he answered “guys, I won’t abandon you.”
Both wounded for the first time, and after the second wounding, he continued to shoot back.
We still haven’t taken his body. On the ruins of the Sands, he lies with his arms outstretched and his gaze frozen. He asks for revenge. How can I refuse his latest request? How can we all leave Dan?
I believe that Dimka survived after all. Because he could not die, having recently returned from the hospital, having just proposed to his girlfriend. They say that after one of the parishes he simply disappeared. It fell asleep with earth. But, I believe that this is a mistake, and he is alive. Foolish hope and expectation.
I know, my country does not like to think aloud. But, I was left with no choice between victory and arrest. The truth should be heard, not whispers in the kitchen. Of course, he will fly separately for this post, because how? Yes, does the state lie to its own citizens?
I won’t be surprised if someone says today: “Kremlin agent Sirozh talked about the brilliant plan of the victors on the Donetsk front, let’s hang him on the Peacemaker.”
I amused to say that everything is under control. Now in Pisky, everything is not under anyone’s control, but for some reason the situation is being hushed up.
Ring broken bells while we cover the Sands with bodies.
We need artillery.
Give us something here to hold on to.

Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/r3358083 https://twitter.com/DeuNachrichten Every day it is getting more and more obvious that the brunt of the fighting today is going along the Solidar, Bahkmut, Adveyevka, Donetsk, Maryinka line. Near Bahkmut Russian troops have been stubbornly advancing throughout the day. According to the General Staff of Ukraine, its last evening report, Russian troops were able to take positions in Semigorye, took, according to their data a part of the settlement.
Usually when the Ukrainian side says about losing part of a settlement it often turns out that they have lost the whole. So far I have no data that the entire Semigorye have been taken. Nevertheless according to the same Summary of the General Staff there are attacks in the area of Zaitsevo and Kodema we see that they attempt to access Bahkmut from the south in order to then start the battle inside the city already.
Ukrainian sources say that Zaluzhny reported to Zelensky the other day that the battles for Bahkmut inside the city itself, according to his calculations may begin next week. This is already becoming inevitable, given that the main reserves are now going into the Southern direction. Some of the artillery systems have been removed from here. There is nothing the Ukrainian armed forces can do here to counter the might of the Russian offenses.
Reserves are running out and the tactics that I spoke about a couple days ago, how Russian troops are attacking today near ADveyevka and Donetsk directions (by the way they took several strong points in the area of Peski and Kras nogorokva took some positions in the area north of Adveyevka - all this puts an extra pressure on the Ukrainian army and it brings results.
Because the losses that the enemy is suffering on this entire contact line (and our units are not really in a hurry to go forward, they are just grinding reserves here and taking new positions only when the enemy stops offering any resistance at all) that is the ratio of losses is now to the level of 1.15; 1.20 and it is clear that the Ukrainians cannot bear such losses for a long time. If the Russian command is able to maintain such an intensity of fire on this entire line for at least a week or two, it is obvious that at first the front will float and the enemy will roll back to the northwest quite quickly, surrendering Bahkmut and Solidar and in August we already see the battle for Savyansk and Kramatorsk already.

Must be a CIA operative. He sounds just like someone who works in Washington DC.

Being #2 in literacy doesn’t seem like stupid and brainless.
I’m not sure, but maybe those ‘stans have a high literacy rate left over from the old Soviet system plus a requirement to read the Koran, IDK.
Sounds like Zelensky is getting ready to join him. Also notice he took down President Biden's portrait in the background. lol
.
He sounds like a typical Gates Zucker.
Not a Nazi, per se. He is prejudiced against his own people, sort of like Joe Biden, Jim Acosta, and the rest of the deep state apparatchiks. It’s called elitism. Arestovich has just f@#$ed himself, saying the quiet part out loud. Don’t be surprised if he’s either fired or resigns.
"They bathe in their own misfortunes. They're uneducated, stupid..."
Not much different than what Don Lemon and Fredo Cuomo recently said about “flyover state” Americans, or 0bozo’s past remarks about “bitter clingers with their guns and Bibles”.
Typical snotty ruling-class delusions.

Roundtable discussion of the U.S. provocations with China and Russia under the policy of “containing them.” All participants think the U.S. wants a war and that China has decided there will have to be one and is currently preparing for it.

He also expects China to invade Taiwan. Says Pelosi visit was all Pelosi...State Department and Biden were opposed to it.
On a more positive note Brian Berletic says that China can, if they choose, instead economically go to war with Taiwan because China/Hong Kong represent 49% of all Taiwan trading.
Rep Victoria Spartz (R-Indiana) accused Andrey Yermak who is the head of the Presidential Administration in the Ukraine, aka the Grey Cardinal, of working for Russia and leaking a lot of information to Russia. She urged Zelenski to remove him. The Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs responded by defending him and launched attack against Spartz.
Yermak has a key person who have strong ties to Russia: Oleg Tatarov who worked closely with the Former President who fled to Russia in 2014 because of mass uprising against him. At the time, Tatarov was head of the police and one of those responsible for suppressing the uprising. He escaped investigation and was next seen as one of Yermak aids.
Presidential Administration reply runs the county; Zelenski has 240 out of 245 seats in Parliament. Yermak is the "brain center" for all of the activities happening in Parliament and from the Prime Minister. Essentially, Yermak has all of them in his "pocket". Twice this fellow has publicly called for Ukraine to surrender. Basically, he is an asset of the FSB.
Another key person in Yermak's entourage is Andrey Portnov who has strong ties to Russia was lawyer and legal adviser to former President Yanukovich. His job was to make illegal activities look legal and legitimate. This is a typical FSB strategy. Making everything illegal legal is essentially a corruption of the legal system and the system into a dictatorship. A third person hired by Yermak is Alexey Arestovich who serves as press secretary covering up any issues or problems. Fed to Russia in 2014 returned in 2019.
Clear clash between Ukraine Presidential Administration and Spartz - something going on in the background which is not clear.
Alexey Arestovich is as crooked as they come, and into all the high power shenanigans that have resulted in all the woes the country is suffering - worse than the Russian invasion. These people in the Presidential Administration are communist - the real Russian sort. They hate the people and the people hate them.
Why Is the White House Quietly Griping about Zelensky Now?
Which Biden administration official is leaking to the New York Times’ Tom Friedman that the White House doesn’t trust Volodymyr Zelensky?
Your mileage may vary, but I see two possible motives here. Possibility one is that the Biden administration just wants the Ukraine-Russia war to end, and Zelensky isn’t playing ball, so the administration is getting ready to leave Zelensky hanging out to dry. Possibility two is that the administration foresees the Ukraine-Russia war going badly, and is preparing to use Zelensky as a scapegoat. They’re laying the groundwork to argue, “we did everything we could to help the Ukrainians defend themselves, but in the end, they were too incompetent, too corrupt, and too beset by infighting.”
It’s 2022, not 2012, yo.
Let me repeat this again, it’s 2 0 2 2 !

🔥Artillery castling
In fulfillment of Zelensky’s order to liberate the south of Ukraine, which was voiced for no reason, the General Staff transferred artillery to the Kherson direction, taking it from Donetsk.
Everything was beautiful on paper. For the counteroffensive, the missing barrels were taken from the most fortified, reliably concreted sections of the front - Pesok and Avdiivka. The calculation was as follows: we are not going to go on the attack there, the fighters will hold out in the fortifications without the support of artillery.
Having learned about such a castling in the DPR, they decided that this was a chance to fulfill an important political task - to move the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donetsk beyond the distance of a shot, so that there were no throwing petals and shelling, and went on the attack.
And now, for 2 days, all of Ukraine has been reading messages that in Avdeevka and Pesky AD. The situation with Gorsky-Zolotoy repeats absolutely. The Armed Forces of Ukraine complain that they receive 100 shells each, and only 5 are sent in response.
Well, the dumbest thing is that the victims near Donetsk can be absolutely meaningless - no one went on the attack near Kherson with the barrels transferred, and the Russian Federation has already transferred a bunch there technology. Maybe the missile strikes on Nikolaev, during which only last week two brigade commanders were killed, or maybe sabotage, because as a result of the castling, Ukraine will lose the most fortified and closest sector of the front to Donetsk‼️
Someday, the actions of the command of the last days will be the subject of investigation by the investigating authorities. Here the situation is worse than in Ilovaisk in 2014. According to tradition, those who were involved in this castling will be accused of “zrada”, and the matter here is absolutely understandable.

⚡️⚡️ ⚡️#Insider
Our source in the OP said that the counteroffensive was postponed indefinitely, the operation #Battle_for_Kherson is now a big question. The transfer of artillery from the eastern front to the South led to the fact that the fortified areas lost their cover and the Russian army began to quickly break them open, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses. Avdiivka and Peski effectively repelled attacks for 5 months, and after the withdrawal of artillery they became easy prey for the Russian army.
Resident
Colleagues, the moment for a counterattack in the South of Ukraine was lost and now the eastern front is already feeling the miscalculations of the command, which wanted to follow the instructions of the President’s Office and organize the #Battle_for_Kherson operation . In reality, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have the strength to strike, and the defense in the Donbass began to crumble, which could cause the loss of a strategic fortified area. Zaluzhny today asked Zelensky to allow part of the artillery to be returned to the eastern front, but so far there has been no decision!
More likely that the video is a fake, mistranslated, or taken totally out of context. Like the rest of the Russian propaganda we get to read here on Free Republic.
Let's see if the video is even real first. And let's find out who "Svetlana" is.
What is your motive Cathi?
