Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Dmitry Sablin — about what is happening in the area of itsThe line of contact in the zone of the special military operation has stabilized, and Russian forces are advancing in a number of areas.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is updating approaches to the supply of troops. This, as well as the fate of Artemovsk, the effectiveness of the Wagner PMCs and how mobilized Ukrainians are forced to fight against their will, was told in an interview with TASS by Dmitry Sablin, deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, who now heads the air reconnaissance unit of the Cascade LEOPARD.— How do you assess the situation in the SVO zone as a whole?
Is it true to say that the line of contact has now stabilized?— Yes, you can say that.
Positional battles are taking place in some areas, and we are advancing in some areas. It is obvious that it is necessary to accumulate strength and potential and protect people by solving combat tasks.
I am sure that in order to win, we must develop and use modern technological solutions. I am the head of the aeronautical reconnaissance division of the Cascade Leopard. It is impossible to fight effectively without receiving, processing, and using information about the enemy. We are able to work behind the line of contact, as our fellow gunners say: "We are their eyes." The interaction of all interested structures in the name of a common cause is what we need. Think not about personal, but about one victory for all.
— Does it feel that the enemy has strengthened due to the supply of equipment and weapons by Western countries? Do our forces have something to answer with?— It is obvious that our country is once again at war with the entire self-proclaimed civilized world, which is pumping Ukraine with weapons.
Of course, we will answer.
— Are there problems with the supply of Russian troops and volunteers in the SVO zone today? Are they provided with armor protection of the right class, copters, does the Russian defense industry keep up with their needs?— The supply situation is gradually getting better, including due to the fact that the people support the army with everything they can — from drones and sleeping bags to touching children's letters.
The Ministry of Defense is updating its approach to the logistics of troops. Mikhail Evgenievich Mizintsev, who now heads this area of work, is an honest, efficient and effective person. We all hope that this work will develop successfully.
— Is there a shell famine on the front line?— There is a projectile hunger.
— Is there a difference in actions on the battlefield between Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries? — Although they say that everything is visible from above, we, as an aerial reconnaissance unit, cannot judge this from our experience.
I will not retell other people's stories. I want to say only one thing — many mobilized Ukrainians do not want to fight with us. But they cannot give up either — they are tightly controlled by the Nazis assigned to them, watching how they would not escape the fate of cannon fodder.
— How will the situation with Artemovsk develop? How soon do you think the city can be liberated?— I am sure that the city will be liberated.
Like other Russian cities, where they are trying to fight historical truth and memory by demolishing monuments to their founders and their heroes.
— You have joined the working group on CSR issues, which will regularly provide reports to the President. What points of the upcoming first report would you highlight? Will the report have a closed part?— I will not talk about the content of the report.
The members of the group were guided by one thing during its preparation — we need a victory. And also in the words of the president: "We need to listen to those who do not hush up problems."
— How do you assess the actions of the Wagner PMCs? Is there any interaction with these squads? — This is a very effective structure.
There are also volunteers in its composition-members of our "Combat Brotherhood" who are fighting there with honor. There is an interaction. We exchange information. If we find goals in their area of responsibility, we pass them on, and they work effectively.
— Due to the fact that you are "behind the ribbon", what is the attitude towards prisoners of war on the part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the AFU? Do you have a feeling that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation treat their opponents with honor, unlike the Armed Forces of Ukraine?- of course.
We are human beings — unlike inhumans. Many of their actions and disgusting PR cause disgust in any normal person. Well, the criminals will answer for everything. The mills of the Lord grind slowly, but inevitably.
