thank you very much, dear mr. zalewski, for this extremely interesting and frank conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our viewers that pawel zalewski, the state secretary of the polish ministry of defense, was currently working for them on espresso. if possible, because the new year is coming soon, i want to wish ukrainians peace, peace and love so that you can enjoy it in peace, i wish you this. w pokoju, tego wam życzę, wow, i went for a walk, water, there is not enough ordinary water here, drink reo, i am saving myself, reo, you are ready, dear, ready, i took reo, reo - water for special medical purposes.

andrii pionkovskyi, a cult political scientist who is in washington, will be working on the espresso tv channel now. glory to ukraine, andriy andriyovych, i congratulate you. well, we have been through several extremely disturbing weeks, in particular , it is about the macro-finance from the american side for ukraine. we understand that the case was postponed until january next year. trumpism, but...

until january 19, but now we are not talking about a financial scandal, but a geopolitical scandal, the refusal to support ukraine, that, well i call it the withdrawal of america from world politics, the capitulation to totalitarian regimes, but this will never happen, the republicans and democrats understand this, but this is a game, you know, the favorite pastime of the american golden youth, so in

limousines to rush towards each other lastly, what is positive, i was greatly impressed by the instant reaction of europe on the twelfth, despite zelensky's visit, this financial bill was not adopted, europe came forward with its financial and military political initiatives, well, we remember, there was a stream - at the expense of danish, dutch, belgian, there was a billion dollars each, the eu summit finally ended triumphantly. it seems to me that the importance of this fact was not fully appreciated even in ukraine, a decision was made to start negotiations on the admission of the european union of a warring country, a warring country, even a month ago this was unthinkable, a lot of resistance, discussion was expected, europe showed.

in many areas, it is not just that fighter aircraft, which it is not it was enough during the summer offensive, this , well, they talked about it for a long time, this is still everyone , every 16. this is a flying, flying fortress of anti-aircraft defense, it was a wonderful film, a documentary, everyone can watch mark soloin on this topic, well, finally, the main thing is this a completely new, new shine gives those missiles that have long been at the disposal of ukraine, this is the british stom scheder and the french scarps, i first spoke about these missiles back in november, december last year . a decision was made, but there was a problem, they are intended for the launch of standard nato aircraft, well, first of all, the same ones in 16, there are none, they were delayed for several months, the ukrainians on their knees made such nozzles for soviet aircraft

, so that they could work with that sheydova and iska, of course, this reduced the effectiveness, you mentioned the youth of the 60s, who on open cadillacs, dissected, so to speak, and without wanting to, i immediately remembered the sad career of john fitzgerald kennedy, so we understand, that is, if they begin to dominate certain isolationist narratives in the united states, rather this is due to the fact that the end of the presidency of joseph biden, the president who demonstrated that he is truly a great friend of ukraine and did everything he could do, maybe not all the way, is already starting to be measured . but well, accordingly, the united states enters the vortex of intra-american political, i emphasize, confrontation, and we in ukraine, well , we begin to measure, of course, everything by our interests, and the key story is whether the ukrainian issue will not be exchanged during american election campaign? the new

york times, washington post, yesterday's article is the most disgusting in politics, this offensive, well... because on january 18, in general , the budget ends in america, but the fact is that every step biden takes in support of ukraine, he reduces his electoral chances. this is paradoxical, you ask why? yes, by the way, in support of israel too. paradoxically, why?

the majority, on all issues, the majority of americans favor increased support for israel, approximately 69%, and increased support for ukraine, approximately 61%. but... the difference is that trumpists who are speaking in ukraine, but the fact is that this is the majority of the american people, the majority of his party, the left, left, left part of the party is categorically against supporting both israel and ukraine, because that these are people, enemies of the united states, and these are people who are convinced that the united states is guilty of some crimes against oppressed humanity, then you ... see what a wild pro-khamas campaign is unfolding on all leading television channels and newspapers of the united states, and we see that according to all the polls, that biden is losing support, this is natural, he is losing the support of those

very structures that ensured his victory in the 20th year, that's who, that's again the left-liberal blood, that's african americans. who completely voted for ayan, now they sympathize with palestinians and young people, young people from 18 to 35 years old, 85% voted for ayan, now these are people who graduated from american universities, where such left-wing propaganda about the guilt of america has been carried out for decades the peace of the nominated people , they also do not vote, they do not vote for biden , has long said that in order to complete his... function as the leader of the free world, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the united states in this world war against tyranny, biden must renounce participation in the presidential campaign, because of the participation of the presidential company, he is forced to make concessions to this leftist crook all the time,

look at the colossal pressure america is exerting on israel, instead of helping him in the declared war against him, war on... you very correctly noted that there were not just strange, but frankly disgusting articles, which refer to certain anonymous representatives of the executive bodies of the united states. which authorities, who report that they are in trouble, and here everything begins anew , that is, the repetition of certain kremlin narratives, about putin's eternal readiness to fight for at least 100 years, and so on and so forth, an unlimited mobilization resource, which they say is necessary somehow, as far as we understand , to influence ukraine by not providing the appropriate amount of aid, yes it is one and the same the line of america's enemies, that's it...

i think that's what is, what's success, well, most likely, that's the handwriting. hit missiles with tom sheydova was looking for feodosia, he wrote

f-16. you see, this is all talk about the stalemate on the front line, how it is impossible to overcome these minefields and so on, there is a completely unique weak point in the russian defense system, this is crimea, this is its entire structure, the entire grouping there, a sufficient number of aircraft f-16, they will destroy. this whole structure, ending, of course, with destruction and annihilation of the kremlin bridge, this will have not only a general military significance, but the main supply goes through the kremlin, this will have a general psychological and political significance, this will affect the ability and readiness of the regime to continue the war, the second second action that the united states must take . which is also completely within their capabilities, which is also opposed by this

left-liberal company, they must launch a joint strike, together with supporting israel, strikes against the csto, and succeed in the subsequent on iran, because it is clear to everyone that iran is behind all the proxies attacking the united states and israel, we knew that... the united states, everything is now in the hands of the american leadership, you will win this war and solve the classic security problems of europe and the middle east. decade, and in general with minimal costs for the united states in america,

ukraine will not even require the direct participation of the american armed forces, only a full set of weapons, a sufficient amount f-16 aircraft, long-range missiles, etoks , the issue with crimea will be resolved very quickly, and there it is necessary, of course, then it is clear that all this works as long as the iranian regime exists and it sponsors these

terrorist organizations, will the determination of the united states be enough will carry out these two striking blows and win the fourth world war by supporting the warring nations of ukraine and israel, this is the question, the answer to which we will find out in the first week of the future year. i agree with you, well, that's the question. in general, the history of humanity and the history of survival of civilized humanity, but we still have tactical things, in particular, well, putin has demonstrated his willingness to donate an unlimited amount. of a russian man in donetsk region. about 15,000 personnel of the russian federation were fired in avdiivka alone. but the key story is that it does not meet certain, i don't know, movements in russia itself. he will not have any long infantry war if ukraine receives, and i

believe that it already receives this set of weapons necessary for destruction. the whole the crimean grouping, structures, putin perfectly understands how everything is in the world, we live now, he is in a unique situation, it did not exist in world history, there were world wars in world history, and there was a moment when, let 's say, in the forties the moment when england could fall, there was even a terrible day when he was ready to go, they proposed negotiations through mussalin with hitler after the train of france, but these hesitations continue. a few hours, only, but there was no such moment that the situation could be resolved immediately the other side, today, today it can decide to either side, or the united states will deliver the necessary set of weapons to ukraine for victory, and support israel's strikes against hezbollah and iran, then

the fourth world war will end with the victory of the civilized world in the next 2-3 months . this result in the next week , as for ukraine, i am sure that a decision has been made to transfer the weapons of victory, and as for israel, i think that israel itself will launch an attack on the ssbu in the next few days, i hope that the wavering united states, because the majority of public

opinion in the united states supports the strengthening of the war and... in israel and the strengthening of support for ukraine, this is the activity of israel, it will help to overcome these fluctuations of the biden administration. finally, to andrii andriyovych, look, a huge summit was held in san francisco a few weeks ago, and xijin ping very clearly offered president biden to share the world sphere of influence, so we understand that maybe certain signals have been sent. it is difficult to analyze to what extent this is being implemented in quotation marks, of course, perhaps china's peacekeeping position, but there was also a rather strange publication that putin was bludgeoning during the meeting with xi jinping, which took place there, i don't know, there a few months ago, he promised the continuation of the long war and long escalation, you know,

this is the first reaction of biden and the american general to the attack. was simply impeccable, i mean biden's address to the american nation on october 9, but we remember that there the word ukraine was used almost more often than israel, he clearly formulated it, it is the world war, putin and hamas, hamas wants to destroy israel, putin wants to destroy ukraine, we are the strongest state in the world, we will never allow this, and this was supported by great deeds. by sending two aircraft carrier groups and introducing a bill on providing , including very serious military aid to ukraine in the amount of 61 billion dollars, and china shuddered, china reacted to this, china immediately ran to san francisco, declared that china in the foreseeable future does not consider

the possibility of a military alliance with taiwan by the way, very interesting. expressed his desire to return american investments and american technologies, he understood that he had exploded, he wanted either to destroy ukraine with the hands of putin, or to destroy israel with the hands of iran, and thereby completely undermine the authority of the united states, then take taiwan with his bare hands, but he saw , that putin failed in ukraine, the americans reacted sharply to the attack on israel, and he... decided to transfer these plans to a long historical perspective, he actually came out of this world war, but now 2 months have passed, here are these...

by us, if the americans do not show any firmness, if in the first month, the first week of january, we do not see the approval of the law on financing aid to ukraine, large deliveries of f-16 aircraft to ukraine and the readiness of the united states to impose if israel strikes at hazbul, then you will understand that he was in a hurry and it is necessary to return again. an interesting conversation,

god forbid, god forbid, as they say, thank you very much andrii andriyovych for this extraordinary one , i want to remind our tv viewers that andrii worked for them on the air of the tv channel pionkovsky, a political scientist based in washington. the time of our program has run out , stay tuned to the espresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of the day, take care of yourself and your loved ones, good luck to all of us in the new 24th year, see you on the air, there are 15% discounts on valerian bulgarsky in pharmacies you will find plantain and savings.

towards the end of the year, the situation on the front line in ukraine significantly worsened. after the end of the ukrainian offensive in the south , the russian occupying forces seized the initiative and are trying to attack immediately in several directions, despite. for the deterioration of the weather, this is donbas reality, this time we are talking about the results of the battles in 2023 and trying to figure out what will affect the war already in 2024. fighters are preparing shells for loading, they will soon get into the tank and into battle. the t-64 crew just rushed out of position, fired back once, as they fired back in two

words, super, effective. fighters load high-explosive shells into the conveyor, they are used against fortifications and infantry, although the ammunition is visually the same, their order in the tank is important, in depending on the marks that determine the weight relative to the norm (plus or minus), minus plus, if you shoot directly, but it does not play a role, but when we get out... closed, then if you put minus, plus, minus, plus, minus, plus , the flight distance will be about meters, 30 meters, so we try to send them one batch in a row

, first minus, then we went plus, like you lead, lead, fire, bang, then fell, yes, you reduced it, and if the tank commander looked, yes , plus charged, give one division less, because now it will fly like a taco, well, there were repetitions of the hits, there were four repetitions, so this is very good. jobs for ukrainian tankers increased significantly with the beginning of the russian offensive on avdiivka. mid-october, when the occupying forces simultaneously tried to capture the city from the south and the north. there have been more trips to direct aiming, both in this video and working from closed firing positions. the intensity was at its maximum. they asked about the equipment to go, we destroy their equipment on the approach. and they are now walking stupidly with infantry, infantry, infantry, infantry, people, people, people, no they pity the people, well, they are driving, and we are destroying them, so let them drive, 10-20 thousand, there

they say 40. less, maybe someday they will end at the beginning of october, there were only 10, you can say, the columns pushed the craziest, you can say, at the moment there is no such thing, for one unit, the equipment happens, it is rolled out, but small small quantities are obtained, there may be two tanks, two bmp, maybe one bmp, one tank, but not as they used in the active phase. two months of fighting on the southern flank of the avdiiv district defense line the front has changed insignificantly, some positions are changing hands, but the situation is stable. here they were expecting an attack and the long mechanized convoys did not surprise them. there was surprise only at the moment when neither tanks nor bmps were moving, it was not easy to take out the armor of the enemy, the enemy's equipment, but it was their cheers, there were cheers or something

like that, because then there was already surprise. thought that they no longer had anything in the way of heavy weapons, then they already sent in motion, well, in action , automotive equipment. the ratio of losses in technology on the avdiiv direction between indicative by the parties. a user on elsio in the x social network counts by visual confirmation. almost 2.5 hundred russian vehicles were destroyed, and about two dozen ukrainian ones. this is without taking into account abandoned and captured vehicles, for example, the ratio of losses in tanks is 10 to one. i think they don't pay too much attention to losses, it's just an acceptable part of war, the way they understand war, losses are part of it, that's all, and i think in a sense these losses have a purpose, it's a kind of strategic communication from the side of russia with the west that these aspirations are hopeless, support for ukraine and attempts to resist an opponent who is ready to accept such losses, because i have a certain

goal... these losses exist, this is not a bug, but a feature. in addition to avdiivka, where russian troops probably concentrated their main forces in october, they went on the attack on the kupinsky and leman directions in the northeast, launched a counteroffensive south of bakhmut and advanced north of it, where the front was static. after almost two years of active fighting, the completely destroyed city of maryinka was captured. in principle, throughout the time with on february 24, russia demonstrated its readiness to attract additional resources, that is, yes , so far the pace of attracting resources is not enough to gain a total advantage, to seize and use the strategic initiative, but according to the results of the 23rd campaign, we can say with confidence that hidden partial mobilization, the russian federation has enough not only to hold the front line 850

km long, where... the most active exchange of blows, the greatest intensity of combat operations, but to point to proceed to some local offensive actions, or rather to carry out attempts, because there are no special results, but such a hidden partial mobilization provides sufficient resources both for defense and for some local offensive attempts. i don't think that this strategic communication with the west will work, in my opinion, it's counter. productively, trying to show that the russians are so ruthless that they will continue the war forever plays against the debate in the west, where there seems to be an assumption that russia is more or less satisfied with the current front line, and ukraine must find some peaceful solution. if russia manages to convey the message that they are ready to go on forever, i think that will encourage the west to help ukraine more. this is the first that the russians.
