got out and it whistled and came in here, i ran, saw the grandmother, well, she's alive, and i heard the smell of gas, i had to get out of here, i called all the necessary services, the minister of foreign affairs of japan, yoko kamikawa, who arrived today on an official visit to ukraine, visited the memorial to the victims of the russian occupation in... and then the irpinsky bridge, which the defenders of the capital were forced to blow up in defense purposes. during negotiations with the head of ukrainian diplomacy, dmytro kuleba, ms. kamikawa reported that japan provided five mobile generators and seven transformers to help ukrainians survive the winter. the joint briefing of the ministers took place in a shelter, because at that moment an air alert was announced in kyiv. i informed.

his colleague today and about the other side of the war, namely about ukraine's need not only for airplanes, but also, first of all, for means of air defense. i once again wanted to express my opinion respect for the courage of the ukrainian people, who have been defending themselves against russian aggression for so long. japan is determined to support ukraine so that peace reigns again in ukraine. japan decided. to the nato trust fund to provide an unmanned aerial vehicle detection system. russian aggression can be curbed, but for this it is necessary to unite the efforts of the entire civilized world, volodymyr zelenskyi said during a video address to the participants of the annual society and defense conference held in sweden. in the west king carl gustav and

crown princess victoria. in turn, the minister of foreign affairs, tobias bijlstrom, stated that support for ukraine will remain the main foreign policy priority. sweden. in order to build an arsenal to defend freedom, europe needs a much larger scale of weapons co-production than it currently has. we see that russia's aggressive ambitions can only be stopped where there is enough power to stop them, and we will only get that power together. our military, political and economic support to ukraine will remain, as our prime minister said, the main foreign policy task in the near future. years, ukrainian soldiers are also fighting for our security and our values. strong, predictable and sustained support for ukraine is also our main opportunity to limit russia's ability to act. the european union should form its own united army

that could play a role in maintaining peace and preventing armed conflicts, italian foreign minister antonio tajani said. and tighter. european cooperation in the field of defense is a priority for the leader by him of the force italy party. tajani also stated that the eu should have a single president, rather than the current structure consisting of the president of the european council and the president of the european commission. if we want to be peacekeepers in the world, we need a european army, and this is a fundamental prerequisite for having an effective one. european foreign policy in a world with such powerful players as the usa, china, india, russia, with crises from the middle east to the indo-pacific region, citizens of italy, germany, france or slovenia can to be protected only by what already exists, namely

the european union. meanwhile, in the kharkiv region, ukrainian defenders maintain a cheerful mood, despite the frost and reports in the british press about the plans. of russia regarding the new offensive on kharkiv, only 900 m to the nearest russian occupation. the russians have been attacking kharkiv oblast since the beginning of october. ukrainian servicemen are repulsing the invaders, and the enemy is not succeeding there. however , the invaders did not give up their intention to attack. ukrainian soldiers say that they got used to life in the trenches, worrying the second winter on the front line with frost and snowfall. it's okay, we're used to the frost , it's okay, let's go, damn it, everything's okay , what can we do there, we've been standing here, i repeat, for more than a year, and somehow we've already survived the winter, that is, we've survived that winter, and somehow we've

already gotten used to it , we already understand how it should be, what to do, how to hide somewhere, all completely, all positions, all observation points, all reference points. a court in chelyabinsk arrested a 16-year-old teenager from dagestan for two months, he was accused of trying to set fire to an su-34 military plane at the airfield chagol. the boy was detained on january 5. the fsb claims that the teenager was also involved in arson in november-december 2023. railways in dagestan. the court chose a preventive measure for him in closed mode. the boy faces up to 20 years in prison. as you know, ukrainian military intelligence reported that an su-34 bomber burned down in chelyabinsk on january 4 and released the corresponding video. i would like

told us, we will really be talking with you until 8 p.m., there will be no breaks, so let's start now, somewhere at 8 p.m. and we'll finish, maybe there will be some 37 seconds, as i'm told, little ones, little ones like that a break andriy kharuk, military historian, professor of the national academy of land forces named after hetman peter sagaidaichnoy , will appear with us now and already. appeared, thank you, mr. andriy, for finding time for us, eh, and my first question about such sports, about a false start, now the cold is approaching, quite strong, we already feel it here in lviv, and for the whirlwinds, and the snow, and the cold, they promise -20, -15-20 at night, but there are already not enough missiles in russia, at least at this moment, for powerful otaks, that is, they are somehow... not at the wrong time fired at us using many rockets and now when it is cold, well, because everyone understands that

their task is to shoot when it is cold, so that life would become worse for all of us, so was it not such a mistake that they started firing so prematurely, but in fact they had to these are just all the days that are approaching, when the cold is approaching, mr. professor, thank you for the invitation, you see, it must be said that any number of... quality parameters regarding russian missiles can only be evaluated by such concepts as too much or too little we do not have exact quantitative data, i hope mr. budanov knows them, but we do not have such figures, and indeed the russians used quite a lot of cruise missiles, first of all for strikes on... targets in ukraine on the eve of the new year and in the first days after that, but, in my opinion, this

does not mean at all that they do not have these missiles left. most likely, they may have problems with carriers, with the same 295, that 160, but since these are aircraft, they have certain resource limitations, and if we recall, then there were periods when they did not strike for several months, that is... after a sufficiently small number of canvases, they need to be sent for repair, so whether for appropriate regular work, that is, the problem, in my opinion, is most likely not in lack of missiles, problems with carrier aircraft, well, maybe, maybe some cunning plans are being built by these war criminals of putin's. for these strikes on ukraine, thank you, yes, and the next question is

about the mood, you know, we have such a kind of sports, something i am on such a sports wave jumped in, and there i am sitting on this sports wave, i was once a fan of kyiv dynamo, i was also there, well, it was when lobanovskyi was there, the 70s, i am so old already, you know, and i just saw the mood of spartak, and dynamo is always... it would be ideal if we were preparing for spartak, you can lose to a club of the third league or the 28th league, but it is impossible to lose with spartak, and i just saw that the mood, but once they lose there three... one or 3 :0 and then for two seasons they have a hard time, they already know that they will lose again and again. now the question is, what are the moods of the commanders, of the russian soldiers, but here they are rushing somewhere in the east, in the south, fighting with their foreheads, and a month, and two, and three, nothing comes of it. and

i'm sitting and thinking, well, you know, well, me, if i , let's say you shoot better than me, because you and i went to the... shooting range and you would knock out 100 out of 10 shots, and i would knock out would be 32, and one, and the second, and the fifth, and for the 20th time, i would say, you know, mr. professor, i will not compete with you anymore, compete, shoot yourself, i don't want to, but they have been sitting in the same place for two years, even the honors recede, and yet they continue, whatever the mood can be , you see, the fact is that the army by its nature, the organism is much more complex than... a football team and the mood, if you could say, is average in a hospital, but average the temperature in the hospital, it is quite difficult to determine here, because a number of complex factors affect the moral and psychological state of soldiers, commanders and commanders-in-chief, and when they already talked about the fact that in 2022,

for example, the moral and psychological state of russians was low. now we can already state that that certain changes have taken place, why, why, and because the death of comrades with whom you served together, it does not always contribute to lowering the moral and psychological state, it can give additional motivation for revenge, respectively, and in this situation we cannot approach to the assessment of moral and psychological. the state of the aggressor's huge army, just like the assessment of the morale-psychological state of a football team, because a football team is a small group, here we are dealing with a very large group, heterogeneous, which are after all, in different conditions, in different areas of the front, different motivations for

participation in hostilities are formed, for some it is a motivation to survive, for someone it is a motivation for revenge, some part is ideological. who are fighting nazism and other bad phenomena there, gay propaganda, or what else are they fighting for or against , yes, that is, this is a question that cannot be discussed in a short comment, but must be studied, because it really depends on it correctly you noted, the ability of the russian army to resist depends on it and conduct hostilities. mr. professor, you know, we are from sports to... anthropology , which i have been thinking about, since february 24, i have been thinking about it, i even wanted to write an article, but i am so lazy that i did not write, look, i am very, well, i am a historian by education, i am not a historian by profession, my profession is now quite a colleague, yes, but i read a lot, well, a lot of books about the western front, such as the behavior of the british,

the americans, the landing of the dessans, sicily, northern a... africa, romil and so on, and there i clearly noticed, about our conversation, it is very interesting that the english, when the loss of planes was, i even remember, 27%, on the second day it was impossible to force them to take off, and they, the british, began to protect the personnel, because they understood that there was a limit, if 15, they would still fly on the second day, if 20, you have to persuade, if 20... everyone says no, no, no, i don’t want to fly to death, then the question arises: in the western society, the western world, where the value of life is high, they don’t fly, in the russian world, about everything , by the way, and commander-in-chief zaluzhnyi said that his main mistake, he was convinced, if 100,000 die, then there is nowhere

else to suck, and that's what the poles would do, that 's what the germans, the english would do, well, well, what, well, do you have to think about something? already, well, the ukrainians understood, because this is our land, no one will fight for us here, but here the question is that russians are really some kind of non-homo sapiens, that there are some unique features, yes, yes, yes, because you, you you are correctly weaving in anthropology here, and even in the first weeks of the full-scale aggression, western experts observed with astonishment that the russian army was poaching, for any normal civilian... army, looting means loss of fighting capacity, do you remember those stories there, how these postal services sent various looted things and so on. i’m not talking about toilets and washing machines, but others too, yes, but it didn’t work that way for the russians, their fighting ability remained, and the same mass

murders and rapes, which are an indispensable sign of the army’s schedule, are such a symptom for them did not become, accordingly, i fully support your opinion here that they are significantly different from civilized people, from from... those people which have the stamp of culture on them, over the centuries, that is, assimilated, adapted, they are to a certain extent, well, at the level of, excuse me, savages, yes, okay, when conducting hostilities against them, it is good that you said savages, because i was taught at the university that first deaconship, then barbarism , then... civilization, when they say that russians are barbarians, i say no, no, no, you have to grow up to be barbarians, this is barbarism, this is another , this is another, here so, now let's do it again,

since it's such a post-new year's mood now, then i would like to say more theoretically than practically whether it is worth paying attention, because we see that the front is actually standing, to us it is, to us everything here seems to be standing, there are definitely heavy battles, there are definitely losses, there is definitely heroism , but we don't see movement along the front quite like that, but we hear, read, observe, now the british, then the americans, they will say, near kupyansk, now, when they press, they are there, and then you read the governor of the kharkiv region, there is nothing like that does not happen, then it is worth paying attention to this array information of different, different, what is there... here is what is happening there, there we are there, there is danger, and there, on the contrary, there is success, the next day you look, there is no success there, and there is no danger there either.

well, actually, this just emphasizes that the situation on the front line is dynamic, although it seems to us to be static, but it is changing, so if, say, a few days ago a certain threat was created there in point a, then if it was not implemented enemy, then it's not... er, the problem of experts, observers who predicted it, this to the credit of our command , which reacted to this threat in a timely manner, and the same situation with kupyansk, because kupyansk is a sufficiently important goal for the russians, a partial goal, because it is a communication node that allows unblocking here this railway route from russia and, accordingly , the shortest route by logistics. to organize, it is quite clear that they will press there, it is quite clear that our command also sees this, and accordingly tries to neutralize the pressure

of the enemy, look, mr. professor, in principle, well, as i imagine, during a war , especially a war like the one going on now, it's a war, who will fool who, who has the higher intelligence, who can do some such very cunning operation, and it's any. and yes , this is how it is conducted, yes, but on the other hand, if the previous wars, where napoleon, for example, or caesar, when they were blind, well, there is already a panaitiya, as they say in russia, well, i can roughly imagine , what is there to the left, what is to the right, here i will make such a mistake , here i will make the opposite, now, as far as the experts tell me, everything is known in advance, fully nato, how do i help... the intelligence of the nato countries, fully ukrainian, the same zaluzhny sees what is happening, and they say that a year and a half after the start of the war, and the russians began to see

what was happening, then the question arises , and how can the war continue, how can it be continued under such conditions, when the russians concentrated their fist somewhere, the ukrainians immediately prepared and vice versa... the ukrainians want to conduct something, the russians saw it and also prepared, then, then, well is meaning, then the war really turns into some kind of standoff, well, such a frivolous, no , not frontal maneuvering, so look, here is the entire theoretical exposition, it is broken down by certain practical considerations and practical examples, we have a wonderful example, a wonderful example: slobozhan offensive operation. which is called kharkiv, i prefer the term slobozhzhanska, it is more accurate, it is september 2022, a good month of september, i want to tell you, i really like the month

of september, absolutely, absolutely i am... a virgin myself, so i love september, yes , yes, it was preceded by a disinformation operation, very well thought out and organized at the level of the highest leadership circles of ukraine, when the impression was created that the offensive would unfold in the right-bank kherson region, and even ahead.' on the day of our strike in kharkiv oblast, the russians removed some regiments and transferred them to kherson oblast, because they were convinced that the blow would be struck there, that is, this once again shows that there is room for trickery, trickery, there is room for deception of the enemy, there is room for disinformation in modern wars, and it is only necessary to use it skillfully and legally, and now about such already...

what a point moments, this railway bridge near mariupol was destroyed, this is really important, because there are a lot of such, you know, very heroic reports that this something that will bleed russia very much, how can you even hope for some local operation that can make someone there in russia disappear, look, look, the importance of communication for war shows perfectly, shows perfectly. the kherson operation for the liberation of the right bank of the kherson region, when it was three or four bridges were liquidated, and on this basis, the russians' ability to mount an organized resistance decreased, in fact, they were leveled, they were forced to leave the kherson region. here we are dealing with a more local operation, but any undermining of enemy logistics means that

reinforcements will not arrive for a certain period of time. brought ammunition, accordingly, the task solving for our servicemen will be facilitated, and some of those who, under other circumstances , would have inevitably killed our soldiers, will remain alive, that is, i only welcome any the destruction of these objects of infrastructure, communication and logistics. and mr. professor, the last question, i understand that the answers to this question. i don’t know, maybe it’s due to zelensky, but nevertheless, the crimean bridge, which is still undamaged, why is it not damaged, we’re just waiting for something, do we not have the means of delivering some specific missiles, or is it, that is, a lot of people still a month, now i would have ordered to be silent, but a month ago there was only this question, and why don't we shoot there, your version, strike on the crimean bridge there must be... uh, such

that it can be disabled for at least a few months, it must be extremely powerful , the crimean bridge is a large, massive, complex structure, and in order to strike accordingly and not just scratch it there, and ideally knock down a few spans, but for this you need a suitable one. preparation and resources, apparently these resources are not yet available, they are being prepared, and in this way, well, we can only wait and watch, because we will again hit such an object with cloven fingers there is no sense. thank you very much, andriy kharuk, military historian, professor of the national academy, land commander of the hetman petro sahaidachnyi army, we were in touch, we talked very theoretically, now we will.

it is more practical to say, if yuriy fedorenko, the commander of the multi-attack uavs of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after kosh ataman ivan sirk, appears, this is a bakhmut direction, if he appears, he has appeared. thank you, mr. yuri, for finding time for us. what is the situation in the bakhmutsky direction, what is there, because the fact that we are here in the rear in deep, in lviv we observe, we see that one day... correspondents or some experts write that there is increasing pressure on the ukrainian army, the army, on the second day they write that, on the contrary, the ukrainian army increases the pressure, on the third day they say that it decreases intensity, on the fourth, that the intensity is increasing, and what, what, your eyes, mr. yuriy there see, word.
