well, so far i don't see a more accurate description of the situation that happened with this missile, that is , for the poles, for poland, it was clear to them for a long time that there is moscow, but this incident with the missile, it absolutely clearly indicated that europe is target, ibuild wrote about this at the beginning of 2024, there literally in the first issues that in the winter of 2024... on the fourth of the 25th year, there will be an attack by russia on european states at a time when there will be a transition from one president to another in washington , but it's actually not accidental peter pavel said that the year 2024 may return in an unpleasant way, pay attention to how he said, he did not say for ukraine, he said for us, for us, he said, although why... in ukraine it was interpreted as

for ukraine, although the situation is such that from the point of view of ukraine and a ukrainian, ukraine and the european union are common, well, what is not yet understood by everyone in europe today, and what is good for ukraine, good for europe, what is good for europe, that is good for ukraine, and vice versa, bad is bad both there and there, here, but these two the position, which is voiced, is sent by bilds. to european intelligence and petro pavl about the threats of the next year, well, they were simply demonstrated by this missile, i am convinced that knowing russian diplomacy, understanding that there are tools of action, these two frenzied attacks on ukraine that happened at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, this is a... if

confirmation of theses that they are ready to attack european states, this is the first, and secondly, this coincidence is not coincidental with the theses that you see there, in the western press theses appeared that putin gives signals about some kind of negotiations, that is, this is what is called coercion of diplomacy by force, and this is how it should be interpreted, it... should be understood, and in response, it is necessary to increase the capabilities of anti-missile and anti-aircraft security and prepare appropriate gifts for the moscow führer so that he does not feel its impunity, and the absolutely correct thesis that the current situation requires the transfer of the war to the territory of russia. how to do it? this is already a matter for the military. the matter of the general staffs, i am not saying

only the ukrainian general staff, but also allied headquarters, well, from my point of view , 2024 should be the year of the formation of ramstein-style combat forces and the management system, to the point that what was flashed in the western press about the possible opening of a second front, where and ... yes, it is again , this is a matter for the staffs, but in addition to helping ukraine, we must think about how the appetites of the moscow führer to attack europe and other points must be quenched, and for this the trend that is currently shining in the middle east, where in his recent, very recent interview benjamin netanyahu, prime minister. said that this war is for many

months, we are talking about aa, a war between israel, hamas and israel hezbollah and israel and the houthis, in fact it is an iran-israeli war and it is a potential war with iran, a potential war with the russian federation, and her, for some reason they are ashamed to call her, well, the world, the current world really surprises me in its reluctance. looking at the course of events, i think, like many people, i think, mr. roman, that they are simply trying to somehow localize certain scenarios, hoping to return to the state before the war. there is one legal term, on the other hand, we understand that war is also about resources, technological resources, you very rightly noted that a certain strategic decision was made, but any strategic decisions can sometimes backfire... forgive stubbornness for

the taftology of that or another congressman. so? well, i was extremely surprised and alarmed when i heard from our ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, mr. kuleba, what we have. well, we are not considering any options b, that there is certainty, well, that the united states will provide us with the necessary macro-finance , on the other hand, we understand that miracles have happened in the united states, well, it is worth mentioning only the storming of the capitol and we understand that the united states, which is currently going through probably the most dangerous election campaign in its history, do you understand what mr. antena , the problem is, in the conditions of recognized multipolarity in... it is impossible to return to monopolarity , it is necessary to go through leadership, and leadership is something that has a strong will, or is american society capable, which in its history tends towards isolationism, to talk about

leadership in the current situation, and that means help, and that means give for the fact that they will use this... the term in this case is sacrifice, and for this you need will, and for this you need very strong leaders, and i can tell you that internally i am convinced that america will pass this test, because the settings are positive in the congress, and the settings are positive in the senate, including, it is not so much about internal political clashes as about the adoption of this global... choice, because the point is that these concrete slabs that consist of the russian-ukrainian war, the iran-israeli war, and the sino-taiwan conflict, they must stand on a solid foundation, because

god forbid, one of them will tilt, they will start falling like dominoes, thank god, they understand it, too. in the pentagon, in the congress, in the senate, and therefore, i will emphasize this once again, we are talking about the global choice of america, because in fact this choice is in the autumn of this year, in the united states of america and in june in europe, when the european parliament will be elected, it the choice, including about what fate awaits the war criminal putin. the red dictator siddharth, all this scumbag of fundamentalists in iran and so on, and such scumbags from this troika as lukashenko, etc. maduro, there, ah, kimchen-un, kimchenina and so

on. that is, in fact, the year 2023, the 23rd year at the end of which he marked the beginning of a turning point, and president joseph biden is also right here. and all the others, but the 24th year is the year of defining a turning point, the formation of an initial force that will be able to strike a blow against russian racism, dictatorship, the red dictatorship of china, on the islamic fundamentalists of iran and so on. that's what it's about, how effective it will be. from my point of view, for ukraine , it will be an effective f16 for the fracture, and forgive me for being so intrusive, but we understand that there are certain litmus test indicators, so to speak, and here we are not talking about some symbolic number of f16s, for example

three, four or five squadrons, look, all the decisions have been made, i remember the statements, i don't suffer from these things and... austin and mark milley about the fact that by the end of '23, the f-16 will be in ukraine, this is the maximum that was called, but where the dog is buried, the industrial capacities of neither the united states of america nor european countries did not allow to re-equip them during the year and bring them to the level of integration for participating in hostilities in the composition. of the armed forces of ukraine, and here the question is not in the decisions that were made, not in trained or untrained pilots, in industrial potential. and if we take in fact all contracts that were not fulfilled or obligations that were not fulfilled, then the reason for

their non-fulfillment lies in weak industrial capacities, and this, as you understand, is at least months at the earliest. necessary lines for the production of, say, ammunition, it was not by chance that i stated at the beginning the thesis that only by the end of 2024 is realistic. is on the battlefield to gain dominance in certain types of ammunition. thank you very much, mr. roman, for this extremely important and interesting conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that roman bezsmertny, an iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat, was currently working for you on espresso. there are discounts on... lizak 10% in pharmacies plantain, memory and savings. a special performance

of ukraine is waiting. glory to ukraine. glory be to the heroes. every day, every hour, every minute we receive a large amount of information. the most anticipated event of the year, which is actually happening on the front. what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield? how does the international community evaluate our successes and what is moscow lying about? from the stream of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what kind, and what the russian occupiers are whispering about outside behind the commanders? news, summaries of the week - this is an overview of only important events, important, reliable events, this is analytics, fact-checking, expert comments. about this and much more in today's issue. possible in simple language, accessible to all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on

the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. now the tv channel will be broadcast by a retired colonel of the british army and a military expert, glen grant. glory to ukraine, mr. colonel. well, the scenario of a long war has already taken its toll, so we understand that the question will lie in resources, this is money, this is equipment and this is prepared human reserves, so we understand that the russian federation has now demonstrated its meanness, that is, what they can do, in particular, we are talking about massive missile strikes on ukrainian cities. our air defenses have demonstrated to the russian interlopers that we can... function normally and neutralize their missiles, but in general, in the medium term, this

implies a certain competition: who will have more air defense systems, who will have more missiles, what strikes you will make, and so on. first, we expected large-scale attacks, since russia had hardly fired any missiles for several months. that is, she was preparing by accumulating resources. at this point , it appears that the main attacks were carried out for the purpose of... terror, not to disable missile systems. but from a strategic point of view, if russia is able to continue to launch a large number of missiles at ukraine, even if ukraine successfully shoots them down, at some point you will will not be easy, due to a decrease in the supply of missiles from western partners. we know that other countries have problems with the presence of missiles. so it is quite possible that , for example, what your... people are doing in kyiv, gathering small teams with machine guns and other weapons to intercept drones, such a practice should be extended

to the whole of ukraine, so that there is no need to shoot at drones with expensive missiles. it is necessary to take a different approach to how drones attack and how missiles do it, because each missile is launched from the ukrainian side at weight of gold while russia continues to receive drones from its allies and is preparing to actively manufacture them. own, so in the medium term we just have to hope that we don't run out of missiles and that western countries like the uk, usa and germany are actually able to provide... more missiles than they need in ukraine. in order to fundamentally change the situation on the battlefield, what steps do you think should be taken, because some of the so-called military experts are talking about what, about the need to move the war into the depths of russia, in particular, it is more likely about the destruction of certain russian military

facilities, but for this you need equipment, and you need equipment that would allow this... pretend i am currently under something, under a certain, so to speak is an unspoken taboo. we are in a difficult situation, but i think that putin's situation is even more difficult now, because he needs some success before the elections. this is one of the reasons why they carry out massive attacks, they are trying to achieve something breakthrough the implication is that they want to take avdiyivka, because that will be enough for putin to say that... they have advanced, but when you don't have enough equipment and missiles, you can't attack deep into russia, and if you could strikes with long-range missiles, one question must be asked: will it help the front line? and the answer at the moment is probably no. in fact, it could create even

more problems, including turning the russian population even more against ukraine if they start killing people inside russia. that's why it is it is very problematic before the elections, i think that it is necessary to see how the elections will be held in russia in order to understand the population's appetite for the continuation of the war, but if it will be possible to hit distant targets, then specifically important objects should be under the crosshairs, the neutralization of which will be directly will affect the course of the war. we are interested in big fish, obviously we are talking about the largest objects in crimea, about'. bleat like novocherkassk about the crimean bridge, this is why it is necessary to strike, because cutting off crimea will change the entire geopolitical situation for russia, an attack on one fuel depot behind the front lines in russia probably won't matter much to the frontline, so we should do something that will actually bring big realistic gains that will change the course of the war, not just

hit whatever we can, and a missile recently flew into the territory. in poland, earlier there were relevant stories with the airspace of romania, that is, in this way we understand what messages putin is sending to the west, and accordingly, the west needs to make a certain strategic decision for itself about the readiness to respond in one way or another, maybe a military way, if a military operation is carried out, i'm not saying that it will happen now, but we understand that putin is showing his readiness... maybe this way putin wants to force the west to protect its resources, especially when it comes to systems air defense, missile complexes and so on. you 're touching on two points here: the first is how much longer putin can continue to operate, and frankly, he can continue at this rate for another couple of years, because what is he doing? he just throws in

ukraine has what it has in abundance, people, weapons, ammunition, and it can continue like this. very long. let's not forget that he controls the missile launches, so he can do it when he feels like it. now, in a week, next month, at the rate he can afford, and russia will continue to do so for as long as possible. at the moment, russia is not sending any signal of sunset, i am talking about the missiles that flew into romania and poland. these are just mistakes on putin's part, and the message is that putin can continue. have been fighting for a long time was served in brussels and in berlin, everyone knows about it. they are aware that they must continue to support ukraine, as the war is ongoing. i don't think they expect putin to expand the geography of the war, because putin is unlikely to be able to win such a large-scale battle. after all, the west is really

capable of exerting a lot of influence in order to prevent putin from advancing his aggressive ambitions. if the course of the war will be as it is now, then putin will definitely not stop, and the west will have to find new ways to slow down it will probably be about stronger sanctions, about increased control over their compliance, in order to find out exactly which processes can be stopped in this way. right now, people in the capitals are trying to figure out how to reduce putin's ability to wage war in the long term . so we will see some small steps soon. we'll never know , so you can be sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes in an effort to reduce putin's ability to continue this war as it is at this point. for

in order to change the course of events on the battlefield, we need aviation in adequate numbers. we understand that a principled decision has already been made and we thank the royal family of great britain for this, storm shadow works yes, but storm shadow combined with aviation is a completely different me. some yes, we understand that for this we would need not one or another aircraft, but perhaps two or three or four f-16 squadrons, accordingly, this entails the strengthening of our air defense system, which could cover military airfields, yes we understand that russia is also preparing for similar scenarios. honestly, i can't answer that question because i don't know what countries actually do. i don't know how many f-16s are being prepared for delivery. i also don't know how many of them are actually ready to go to the front line. and here i have a question: when

you have f-16s, what are you going to do with them? i do not know this at the moment. i 'm not even sure if many other advisors have any idea how ukraine will use the f-16. after all, there must be a certain element surprises at their launch. and one more question, whether they will be supported. or will they be used for more strategic purposes, such as destroying russian aircraft? i don't know, we'll have to wait and see, but your comment that everything revolves around the f-16, for example, the abrams, is not necessarily true. i mean that the most important thing that will change the situation at the front is quality training, quality education of commanders and soldiers. this is the first and most important, because in order for this not to happen, the soldiers still have to fight on the front lines, they manage somehow with drones, but it is worth remembering that f-16s will not destroy

air cover from drones. they will not engage in battle with them. even if you have f-16s, even if you have more abrams, those drones that russia is using will still be in your skies. instead of always thinking about something large, you need to think much more about countering drones and weapons, against them there is a certain fixation on large and powerful means, but the presence of large equipment and more the number of weapons did not help to counterattack. what matters is the quality of training, so that soldiers can continue to fight as they fight, and even better. for me, this is the highest priority. training is especially important in case of mobilization. soldiers must be in proper order. prepared before going to the front, because otherwise they will simply be killed in large numbers. so there is still a lot of work to be done on this. don't put all your hopes on the f-16. do not wait in the clouds.

they will, of course, help to advance forward, but probably not in the way you expect it to be. and finally, mr. colonel, what signals are most awaited in london, berlin or washington from our military. and the military-political command, i don't think they are waiting for any signals, now they are well aware of what is needed in each of the spheres, and each of these countries has its own different problems, the main problem of the usa is its domestic policy, which is closely related related to the negotiations regarding the positions of political parties before the presidential elections, that's what it's all about problem. the uk will continue to be with you, there's no doubt about it, they know what's going on and will do everything they can to support. by all possible means, but they are running out of equipment and actually out of ammunition. so, at some point the uk will not be able to supply you until their defence, their industry

starts producing more. germany has the same problem with politics. the left party, which was basically against the war, is now essentially turning to the right. if we talk about a lot of support, then it will continue to be there to come from poland, and much more help may come from the south'. countries such as france, spain, portugal, italy, they need to be more involved, because they have more opportunities to help ukraine with equipment, equipment and other things, more than they do now, signals, they have not changed, but for some countries they have to be stronger than for others. thank you very much, mr. colonel, for this frank conversation, i want to remind our viewers that a retired british army colonel was currently working on espresso.

thatcher, the iron lady. was she loved, or were her reforms supported? i don't admire her intellectual method of not being able to think she could be wrong. but there is no doubt that it was thatcher's reforms that laid the foundations for the welfare of the state for many years to come. she was the prime minister who truly eradicated socialism from the system. the modern world is sorely lacking in leaders of the caliber of margaret thatcher, and it is all the more interesting to take another look at the extraordinary life and times of this formidable woman. come back if you want. the lady only goes forward. documentary film thatcher. only forward. january 7 at 10:10 and 22:00 at espresso. the espresso channel and ukrainian pen present the self- titled project with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who analyze and comment on the most relevant social debates. what kind of news will be
