you are with us today. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. valentin, today we ask our viewers whether they see attempts to usurp power in ukraine, and this is due to the fact that the mayor of kyiv, vitaliy klitschko , said that there are attempts at authoritarianism, the establishment of authoritarianism in ukraine, he said this in interview influence. to the german weekly spiegel, do you see a threat to democracy and an attempt at what the government can do to be in the hands of one person or in the hands of several people, no, i don’t see it, i see and know that we have approved martial law, and all power in the country, primarily military, is really in the hands of one person, the supreme commander of ukraine, once, secondly, the entire vertical power during the war in the hands of the military, the troops of the commander-in-chief of the army,

commanders-in-chief, branches of the army, the ukrainian armed forces, and in principle military administrations. i think that all of us should understand this feature, and moreover, precisely because of this vertical, because of martial law, i the only one who is convinced that the entire direction of the government should be in support of the armed forces of ukraine. for the sake of this power is concentrated and for the sake of this we voted for the introduction of martial law. this, by the way, is its essence. no democratic freedom, no judicial procedure is canceled by the law on martial law, that is, on the rights and freedoms of ukrainian citizens, but by military administrations. i will quote vitaliy klitschko because, well, i know the influence that spiegel magazine has in germany, and that quite a serious statement, in fact, what vitaliy klitschko said. at some point, we will cease to be different from russia, where everything depends on the whim of one person. currently

, there is only one independent institute, but it is under enormous pressure, it is a local one. self-government, in the first months of the war, the country was without leadership, it was downright chaos, and the mayors took on a key role as leaders of public opinion, protecting the cities and helping the military, while klitschko said that starting on february 24, 22 , he did not meet or speak with president zelenskyi, is it normal in the conditions of war, mr. valentin, that there is no contact between the central government and local self-government bodies, and this gives rise to the same nickname that is known in the world, he has a global name, to appeal to the fact that wait, we can become the second russia, this is not normal, there must be full, not only contact, full cooperation of local self-government with the military organization

of ukraine, that is, with military administrations, with the rank of the supreme commander, because... everything that is needed for the armed forces forces ukraine is made, provided on the ground, in the cities and villages of ukraine, and therefore local communities and local self-government are just as important, i think, it should be preserved in ukraine, it should be supported, because military families live there on the ground , there live all of us who stayed and protect the country and help protect the country, the country, moreover, well, we all agreed and, moreover, we are doing so, we are joining the european union, and in the european union local self -government is complete and unlimited, is the cornerstone a cornerstone of democracy and the existence of such an institution as the european union in general. therefore, i am against canceling or limiting local self-government, i believe that

one should fully cooperate with mayors, especially with the mayor of the capital. commander-in-chief and supreme commander-in-chief, i confirm that as a person who will remain, i took up arms from the very first days and nights of the russian aggression, when it was approaching kyiv, what exactly is territorial defense, we kyivans came out with arms and prepared to defend the city, and more moreover, the people of kyiv fed and maintained the territorial defense, especially the first weeks and months of the full-scale invasion, that is, justice and recognition that local self-government, local communities and the city of kyiv and other cities and villages deserved respect, as well as mutually, we will respect and support armed forces of ukraine. this is such a combination, mr. serhiu, this is the kind of unity, i believe, ukraine should have. mr. valentin , as a person who twice headed the security service of ukraine, you know exactly how

the government should act in extreme conditions and what interferes with this unity, who interferes, we are now witnessing how a whole panorama of a conflict is unfolding before us, the office of the president of ukraine, because i am not saying zelskyi, because zelskyi does not say anything about it, and the command or, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, today a large text was published in the online publication ukrainian pravda, there they are trying to explain why this is happening, a kind of sociology appears, which... in principle, during martial law there should not be who has the right or who has a chance to become president of ukraine, well, it's just not timely, to put it mildly, we see how this whole system is being shaken, that's why, in your opinion, the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, who is in principle above valery zaluzhny and the fact

that he may have claims against him, well, it is absolutely obvious that he can articulate any issues, correctly, because he is in the status that he is, he also manages and gives instructions to the servant, why in this situation, when a lot of people are suffering from the servant of the people... the information is patiently patient, why zelsky won't put an end to it over this, he will not say: listen, it is enough to do this, we are united, our only goal is victory, and we should not quarrel and not look at those who have a 2/10 trust rating, because this is not a presidential rating, what was published is a rating of trust, and the rating of trust of the serviceman is a rating of trust in the armed forces of ukraine, even, and not in him as a personnel. why doesn't the supreme commander become the supreme arbiter and say: listen enough you don't have to do this? i completely agree with you and

the most important conclusion is that we all support the armed forces of ukraine, as well as the armed forces of ukraine, are our defenders, that is, we, our people, and this is the unity of the country, so those who confuse the support of the armed forces and the support of our defenders with some politics, with some ratings, with some intrigues and insults, with some anti-russian or pro-russian ipso, to remove a deputy or to appoint a deputy, to hold elections or not to hold them during the war. we have a simple and clear answer, nothing that prevents the armed forces from defending the country, we do not need it, and for the survival of the country, for defense of the country, only one policy is needed, it is called, support the armed forces of ukraine, from the supreme commander, most importantly... the commander, and most importantly, everyone who is on the front lines of our defenders. mr. valentin, once again , returning to the situation in

ukraine, there are a lot of comments from the foreign press, the british critic writes that russia still has a chance of defeating ukraine, and these are quite high chances, so far there, with the following conditions was, so far, the text was released today... washington post, where they write about a counteroffensive, that everything did not go according to plan and zaluzhny had to change tactics, that is , there are many different signals that ukraine lacks weapons, ukraine needs help, ukraine needs political help and not only political, but financial help, and what if the event will not help ukraine now, it really can happen... that russia will be under the eastern border of the north atlantic alliance, as you think all these

publications show, that is, their purpose is to say that ukraine is not working on something, or after all, it is directed at those who are at the helm of western countries, well great britain in this case and the united states of america. i think that such publications, and they have really become a little more than before, for two reasons, of course, first, really with american, german, and and and and british journalists, in my opinion, quite a lot of people from the president's office, with other authorities, who give their assessment on the condition of anonymity, which is definitely not positive, and investigative journalists... western media influencers, and this is exactly how they work, collect hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of opinions, and then the material appears, and the fact that it is very often now not so, you know,

positive, regarding the prospects of our victory, then this is a question for such commentators and for such comments that are provided precisely in ukraine, precisely in the ukrainian authorities , what to do with this, in my opinion, we need to return the world to all of us, and to the information policy of ukraine, to ukraine, first of all to the truth, to the real situation, well, you started, start your broadcast with how our glorious rocket launchers successfully shoot down and destroy terrorist ammunition, barrages under the names of shahit or under any other name, this is where the air begins, and from this, all of us in ukraine who are in contact with the media, especially the western ones, must start with what our armed forces can do, what the armed forces need for defense of the country and the european union and nato, because we are now stopping the russian aggression on our land, and it is clear that we must

speak soberly and professionally not only the truth, but also what ukraine needs, first of all, the armed forces, not some kind of space scattering in numbers 100 billion, 300 billion. no, no, no, there should be a professional position, where the volume and type of weapons prove, i have already pointed this out on your broadcast, allow me to point it out again, the military attachés of ukraine, i.e. professional military, to whom the professional american military? this is the first level, the second level is the government to the government, the president to the president, these are political agreements, the third level is the verkhovna rada of ukraine, which is what we are doing now with the us congress, both with the republicans and with the democrats, because bipartisan support for us the vote on the additional defense budget will be important ukraine by christmas this year, it will be on the condition that all three levels work, you know, harmoniously with a single position and with a single

goal. i have a very negative perception of throw-ins, you know, intrigues, falsification of information, and from here in ukraine, especially from representatives of the ukrainian authorities, this weakens us, and it must be stopped immediately, and all the power to restore order is, of course, in the president, and at the rates and at the military administrations. well, by the way, the administration of the president of the united states of america sent an urgent request to congress after warning about the need to approve tens of billions of dollars for military and economic aid to ukraine, in a letter to the leaders of the house of representatives and the senate, shalanda yayan, director of the management office, indicated that by the end of the year the united states of america will run out of funds to send weapons and aid to ukraine, stating that it would bring ukraine to its knees on the battlefield, quote: i want to make it clear,

without congressional action by the end of the year. year we will run out of resources to buy more weapons and equipment for ukraine and provide equipment from the military stockpile of the united states of america, there is no magic source of funding to solve this issue, we are out of money and almost out of time, and being out of money and out of time, of course, mr. valentine, will affect the course of the russian-ukrainian war , and let's say so, and the finale of the russian-ukrainian war, because these intermediate stages of the delay in weapons then affect how our counterattacks proceed, how we defend ourselves, and how our ukrainian armed forces advance in the end. why do you think america, but so far there is no single understanding that what is happening in ukraine is

the future not only of ukraine, but of europe and the world. the most important thing that is happening in america and is, and i brought this information to myself on the telegram channel, is public opinion and public support of the american people, american citizens, ordinary people, the ukrainian people and our struggle, and it is not just there 50-51, up to 70%. more than 70% of americans even support the provision of additional military, defense, and armed assistance to ukraine. this is what is important to us, and i read even this latest statement from the white house budget director, in an address to the united states congress, that is, to the republicans and to the democrats, in the congress in the house of representatives, i read it as something that we need to do in order to avoid the situation that before the defense budget at the end of the year, congress has not approved it, we must do everything to get it approved, so

i am deciphering, first of all, we, the verkhovna rada, congress, the friendship group with congress, we are working as hard as we can to ensure that the vote takes place and that the republicans and democrats support it. second, the ukrainian diaspora, ukrainian organizations, ukrainian organizations in the united states, from detroit, michigan, to sacramento and california, are also now raised , and we thank them all for writing to their congressmen, convincing them, this is the most serious voice, that is, the voice of the voter to his congressman. and they certainly help us and will help congress vote. the third group of support is honorary consulates, and they are headed by american citizens, honorary consulates of ukraine in america, consulates general of ukraine, which are headed by professional ukrainian diplomats, just like the embassy in washington, that is, it is a consular office and a diploma, and you know a diploma, and a diplomat who is also actively working.
