Interview with Colonel Vladimir Trukhan

Black Mountain Talks

Hello Community,

Yesterday, we had the privilege of interviewing and discussing with Colonel-in-Reserve Vladimir Trukhan from the Russian Ministry of Defense. It was an enlightening discussion that I highly recommend everyone watch. His proximity to the active Russian military grants him valuable insights into the current state of the conflict. As always, Lena did an excellent job moderating the show.

Here are a few key details about the Colonel:

• He is an officer in the reserves.

• He served as a Colonel in the Central Apparatus of the Russian Ministry of Defence.

• He is also a social psychologist.

We delved into some very intriguing topics, receiving some equally fascinating and unexpected responses:

• Mobilization in Russia and its logistics.

• The feasibility of capturing Odessa.

• The “Kiev in three days” narrative – separating myth from reality.

• AFU strategy - contrasting the approaches of NATO and Russia.

• The execution of offensive operations.

• Air defense capabilities, including the potential to intercept the Kinzhal missile.

Our military expert, Mike Mihajlovic, also engaged in a profound, professional-level discussion with the Colonel.

Here is the video link. I highly recommend it if you're interested in hearing firsthand insights about the ongoing situation from someone with direct knowledge of the facts on the ground:

We want to emphasize how important it is for us, in the pursuit of global peace, to listen to voices from all sides. This is why the Colonel’s explanations are invaluable.

A big thank you to everyone involved.
