journalist evgeny meleshka welcomes you and introduces our guest today. this is ruslan shkodin, colonel, member of the house of representatives of the national assembly, member of the standing committee on national security. this day, of course, was remembered, well , directly by the elections, because the election race was very active, it was very eventful, we all remember this, but who witnessed those events, and of course

this is the result that was shown in the elections, well, the current one the president, well , he was probably quite unique, and accordingly, practically... more than 80% of the belarusian people supported the head the state was also remembered by the fact that the president was directly from the people, that is, he, as he himself said, was a sucker, this was also such a key moment, probably why the belarusian people supported alexander grigoryevich lukashenko right then. well, by the way, i will say that he is unique now, yes now, the latest results, the last presidential elections are the same, wonderful, this means there is support, all because, i think, alexander lukashenko immediately promised the people all these years

, fulfilled, fulfilled this is a promise to take away the country from the abyss, and brought it back, we see that the economy is developing, we see that there are...

our people, our people, then we can talk about creation, about development and about peace, about peaceful work in the end. but in the west they believe that after all, belarus is not a very strong adversary, as it seems to me, they think, well , the army is not so numerous, and our troops do not have combat, real combat experience, so ruslan nikolaevich, do we have enough strength, skills, resources to prevent aggression against our country? well i wish i could to start with the fact that over the many years, over

the thirty years of this peaceful, calm existence, yes, there were tense moments, but they usually concerned, we remember at first, we started the program that 30 years ago a president was elected, but times are we were not calm, but we first began to restore the economy, then we fought organized crime.

poland joins nato, which means that in 2004 lithuania gradually joined nato, then latvia, and in 2008, accordingly, it began to take its first active steps our brotherly people, ukraine, well, of course, the government of ukraine, not the people. also to join nato, we are dealing with purely peaceful issues, defining, that is , we initially identified an army of about 65,000 and began to first establish it, improve it, develop it, then improve it, that is, we are engaged and we, let’s say, abandoned a number of weapons, removed tactical nuclear weapons from the territory of the republic of belarus, so... they assumed that we would engage in peaceful labor, interact with our neighbors, with

countries, with everyone, in trade, in the economy, that is , in principle , there was never any talk about any, let’s say, military attempts on our part, we never strived for this, and literally until almost this year we complied with everything , let’s say, the agreements that were, well, reached in the military sphere, were defined in the nineties. in the early nineties, this is what nato did, as i already said, they, without fulfilling their promise, continued to expand, we analyzed the situation, i say again, worked on our armed forces, improved, supplying them with, respectively, supplying weapons, maintaining weapons in combat-ready condition, conducting exercises, training, that is, doing what, in general, all the armed forces of any, well, any armed forces of any country do. without any aggression, which means that

then we saw after the twentieth year how groups of the armed forces of poland were pulled up, and under the guise of fighting refugees, five thousand, fifteen thousand, it seems, if my memory serves me correctly, the group was brought to the immediate border in border, that is, this is again in violation of all international rules. deployment of military contingents, and accordingly they fought there with a fifteen-thousand-strong group with 2.0 or 3 migrants, well, of course, we understood that this was an excuse, and then, accordingly, we saw the build-up of various different groups of troops in the territory assigned to us, which means the armed forces of the republic of belarus, of course , we were left with a fragment from the soviet army, from the belarusian military district, we needed it ...

you, as expected, analyzed the experience the conduct of hostilities that took place, there are such cases, unfortunately, there were a lot over this thirty-year period, here are all the innovations that were, let’s say, a manifestation of innovations during the conduct of hostilities, they were analyzed, and what is acceptable to us, of course, it was introduced into

training, into combat training, into the formation of military units, units of the armed forces.

active experience in conducting combat operations specifically with the armed forces of ukraine, including, because you need to learn if there is something good, we must take from everyone, of course, a sensational case, but let’s just say it had a very positive effect when instructors from the wagner group were brought in to train personnel, who directly shared their combat experience, because at one time... we had people who went through afghanistan, they passed on this combat experience, but of course, over time , almost all of them went into the reserves, so this was also, let’s say, a unique experience that we could gain and disseminate, according to our armed forces, and the armed forces of the republic of belarus

systematically conduct exercises, training, exercises on various scales, combat checks... any state maintains that army from the principles of reasonable sufficiency and from those, let’s say, from the budget that it can spend on the army, because of course you can, excuse me, put the entire budget on the army, but our schools, hospitals, and everything else that we can see in the republic of belarus will stop improving, so

the social sphere, let's say, so here... there must be a very serious balance, we have maintained it, we started with this, that we reached the number 65 only in recent years, the president announced, based on that situation, that we can increase our armed forces, that is , this is an adequate reaction, and so these skeptics must be told that, firstly, in the republic of belarus there is a very serious mobilization reserve, these are those military personnel who have completed compulsory service, they... are undergoing compulsory service, that is, they they are serving, but this service is in reserve, they are assigned to military units, they are assigned to a unit, literally by family name, if necessary , mobilization is provided and the armed forces will grow exponentially, then we developed, and we were the first in the post-soviet space

we took experience from the territorial defense system, which is actively used now and as we see... by the russian side and the ukrainian side during a special military operation, we were the first, i want to draw your attention to who began to develop the territorial defense system, this is also, let’s say, one component that strengthens, literally last year we got seriously involved in the people’s militia, these are those people who, for some reason, cannot get into the armed forces for health reasons, for example, in territorial defense, they are already on a voluntary basis, if a person feels that he can defend the country. he can exercise his right as a citizen, namely to defend the country in the people's militia, and many laugh, but i compare, i say, not you have to smile that the republic of belarus ... will be like a bristly hedgehog, if we deploy the armed forces, deploy the territorial defense of the people’s militia, and just like that,

it won’t be possible to ride here like in 1941 in 3 days, because we also learned lessons from the great patriotic war, of course, what specifically affected us hit us very hard, and as i already said, we are learning lessons from those armed conflicts that are currently taking place, and all armed conflicts, so... and of course we have a joint group with the russian federation, but if the belarusians themselves can’t handle it, it will, because we know that nato is not needed, the enemy cannot be underestimated, this is a very serious organization with serious weapons potential , personnel, then of course , this is why there are military blocs , including, then we have a union state within which we are developing a joint group.

will not be needed and will not happen, so you said that we are not very careful in our we have been watching how nato is expanding for a while, and ukraine, apparently, did not look very carefully, by the way, on july 9 , 1997, an agreement was signed between ukraine and nato on cooperation, and on july 9 , 24, they were once again fed breakfast , someday, probably in '34. they will be accepted, perhaps into nato, well, we'll see, another 10 years ahead, but at the same time, we see what is happening on the southern border, and i would like ruslan nikolaevich

to give you an assessment as a military man, as colonel, as in the not-too-distant past commissar, military commissar of the vitebsk region, they said, this is how real it is that, at... orders from the west, ukrainians, ukrainian troops, ukrainian special forces can take some active actions, provocative ones, well, if we talk about the border with ukraine , here - probably, we also need to link up and, let’s say, together with ukraine, we need to link up poland too, because according to our general staff, along the perimeter of the two states on our border, there are 10... battle tactical groups, nato is 20 thousand people, combat vehicles, bradleys, howitzers, m777, which means installations,

cheetah, hiers, which means that about 1,500 people are now concentrated on the border of ukraine, these are mechanized formations, and what, let’s say, is especially troubling is special forces unit. we all know what special forces units are intended for, taking into account the fact that , let’s say, the military leadership of ukraine has enough problems in the immediate combat zone where special military operations are carried out operation, why to separate people and concentrate them specifically on the border with belarus remains a mystery, taking into account again.

underestimate, and we must always proceed from the enemy, in no case can we assume the worst scenario that we can assume that the enemy will act in relation to us. there may be, let’s say, provocative actions, taking into account special forces, with access to the territory of the republic of belarus, this cannot be ruled out, taking into account the fact that reconnaissance is actively being conducted, almost every week. people who transport explosives, cartridges, explosive elements, as the president voiced,

are somewhere for transit to russia. caches on our territory, in the border area, border guards when they work, and that is, if it’s all tied up in a compartment, look at the actions of uh, let’s say, certain units of the so -called russian volunteer corps from the territory of ukraine to the territory of the russian federation, they are also made attempts to capture populated areas. the we also voice the script and have been practicing it in almost all exercises for many years. that we expect that such a provocation will be quite possible, when they enter some territory, let’s say, try to make a breakthrough, seize some populated area , then request nato help under the guise that, let’s say, some free belarusians decided there to form some kind of free bpr there on the territory of some border region,

that is, we know all these scenarios, we know them... such provocations, the issue can be considered here we can consider the issue of diverting the forces of the russian federation from working out how to stop these moments, then directly to the north military district zone by doing this, that is, there is also such an option, but of course , what is the intent of these actions, well , probably a limited circle of people who are in the united states of america primarily. well, then at the general staff of ukraine, because everyone has long known, western analysts and military experts, not even russian ones, not ours , recognized that ukraine is a project the united states of america to, let’s say, counteract the russian federation, this is just a tool, well, testing some scenarios, testing its weapons, so i

think it’s clear that this will not happen. now the same western gunsmiths and the military have admitted that it needs serious improvement, well, at least, in order to use it in our theater of operations, so i think abrams is not the only weapon, maybe this is a single type of weapon, but i am sure that they are used there and, let's say, pass approbation. ruslan nikolaevich, we were just talking about saber rattling, yes, but there is also another country, an information

front. you have a huge number of subscribers and it would probably be appropriate to ask you in this regard, who creates fakes and how, and why? well, now you correctly said that it is impossible, let’s say, to separate the information war, respectively, from the direct conduct of hostilities, but thank god, in which

we... we are not participating yet, there are many now, literally in recent years, such definitions, like proxy war, hybrid war, hybrid aggression, and of course , all this is being worked out in a complex, well , let’s go back to ukraine again, because this is a very good example for analysis, because not everything happened not in the fourteenth year, even as many say, this is where it all began.

universal brotherhood, equality and so on, but let's remember a little earlier, we found the time when we were directly taught that everything soviet is bad, everything is for... when political technologies are being introduced some idea, it was introduced, this idea, or widespread, was imposed on the ukrainians, that they have one enemy, this is fraternal russia,

a thousand-year history connects, but it turned out that the enemies, not the poles, yes, with whom the ukrainians waged eternal wars, yes, neither anyone else, nor the germans, uh, who trampled ukraine in the first world war, trampled. this is how this could happen, precisely by supplying the necessary information to the west in order to quarrel the ukrainians, and by introducing fakes, we saw when...

what kind of whole worldview of an entire nation can be to turn over in a historically short period of time, only 30 years, one can say, yes, to such an extent, and this is a big threat, these are precisely these fakes, and they are beneficial, to answer your question, of course, to those who oppose for use their own selfish goals, fakes poured into ukraine, played their role, ukraine now, that is, the united states of america , is fighting with the hands of ukrainians. with russia, the usa seems to be on the sidelines, that’s all. thank you very much, ruslan nikolaevich, for this conversation, for our conversation. we spoke today is about national security, about how the state provides for him, her, and i

think that we, belarusians, can be confident that the authorities, alexander lukashenko, will personally do everything to ensure that we truly live. a peaceful country, so that we work, so that we have a strong and prosperous belarus. let me remind you that the guest of the studio today was ruslan shkodin, deputy, colonel, colonel, first of all, deputy of the house of representatives, member of the standing commission on security. all the best. 100 brave guys gathered in our studio,

each of them has a question for an adult, you promise to tell only the truth, i promise, then good luck, how was your adolescence ? mikhail, it was a difficult time, but was there such a thing that... you didn’t like the song, but you had to sing it, completely charged, of course, the heroes of the program have to open up to the audience, well, i skipped school once, and i got there to the final one by trolleybus, this is probably one of those actions for which i am ashamed, in fact, we met mulyavin, where he lived on lop-lop avenue, he says, why didn’t you come, breakfast was all by ten, and so off we went,

we talk about the most fascinating things from the world of science, but every 5 years new studies appear that show that... the use of sunscreen is, first of all, prevention skin cancer, just as high technology in healthcare is growing, so is the technology of simulation training. let's share interesting facts. the first to think about sun protection were the ancient greeks; they rubbed their skin with olive oil, but as you understand, this did not solve the problem. we have simulator robots that are tactile.

meeting amazing people and immersing yourself in their profession. the breeder wants to get the maximum yield and not lose quality, since with an increase in yield, in some cases there is dilution and a decrease in the amount of nutrients. we mix the ingredients that consist. from clay, sawdust and sand we ultimately obtain
