senator james langford. according to him, there is a chance that this deal will work, and everyone is counting on it. let me remind you that in october, us president joe biden asked congress to approve additional funding, including more than $60 billion for ukraine, but it stalled in the senate due to bipartisan disagreements over border security with mexico. the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, is still hospitalized at the national military medical center. the cause of the sudden illness is not known. this was reported in the press service of the us ministry of defense. as noted, austin is recovering and has already returned to duty. the head of the ministry of defense received operational information and gave the necessary instructions to his team. earlier, the media reported that us president joe biden had been inactive for four days knew about lloyd austin's hospitalization.

spying on military echelons in the dnipropetrovsk region, the security service detained an official of ukrzaliznytsia. he collected information about... railway routes, as well as intelligence data about the number and type of weapons. first of all, the man tried to get information about the transfer of bradley fighting vehicles and leopard tanks to the front. the russians needed the data for air attacks to disrupt the logistics of the armed forces of ukraine. the man was recruited in the summer, now he is in custody, he faces life imprisonment. waste in large quantities. the state bureau of investigation reported a new suspicion to the former deputy minister and head of the department of defense. last year , a contract was signed between the departments and an eastern european company for the supply of a large batch of bulletproof vests, but the products did not meet

the standards, so they could not be used by the military. as a result of the purchase, the state lost almost uah 900 million. the suspects face imprisonment for a term of up to 15 years. the boeing 737 is considered one of the most reliable aircraft in the world. four years ago the world terrible news broke, one of the biggest tragedies in the history of ukrainian airlines happened. a boeing 737 was shot down in the sky over tehran, killing 176 people. all who were on board. on january 8, 2020, the boging 737 plane of the international airlines of ukraine is on its way from tagheran to kyiv. shortly after takeoff, the plane crashes. all 176 people on the plane died. among them are 11 ukrainians, nine crew members and two

passengers. citizens of iran, canada, sweden, and afghanistan were also on the plane and great britain. poperovach tehran insisted that it was technical. and in just three days, the iranian authorities admitted their involvement in the disaster and said that the ship was shot down by their air defense system. tehran officially declared that it was ready to pay compensation to the families of the victims, but refused to investigate the plane crash further. the countries whose citizens were injured do not rule out that the plane was deliberately shot down by the iranians, which is why they do not give the international team of investigators full access to investigate the case. compensation was offered. in the amount of 150 thousands of dollars to the relatives of each deceased. ukraine did not agree to such an amount and stated that tehran is trying to resolve the case without admitting the illegality of its actions. decoding of the black boxes showed that after the first missile hit the plane,

about 19 seconds, the pilots were still talking in the cockpit. 25 seconds after that , the plane was hit by a friend, but the pilots still tried to control the plane to the last. the airport was fully open, in full working order, no bans on flights, neither from the ukrainian administration, of course, not from the iranian authorities , there were no notes for the pilots about closing the airport or shooting toys, the pilots did not know, they could not have known them, because there were no warnings, the airport was working normally, who was shooting from where and where - it is not a matter . civil aviation. ten people were sentenced to death for the downed ukrainian battle. one of the commanders of the calculation of the air defense system received 10 years of imprisonment, nine other soldiers from one to three years. however, today, after iran began supplying russia with combat drones for

shelling of ukrainian territories, it is difficult to talk about a fair investigation and prosecution of those responsible for this tragedy, because iran still refuses to fully recognize. its international legal responsibility for the downing of the plane and continues to ignore the claims of the countries whose citizens died in the plane crash. that's all the news for now... at this hour, take care. i welcome you, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid. we will analyze the most important events of this week, there are quite a lot of them and we will try. to predict what the coming weeks will bring us. today's guests are roman bezsmertny and glen grant. now

the iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat roman bezsmertny will work on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, mr. roman, christ is born with the new year. thank you and merry christmas and happy new year. well, the key story is a scenario of a long war. we understand that the russian federation is ready to inflict massive, large-scale strikes on our defense and civil forces. structure, so we understand that they achieve certain successes, but the successes are quite conditional, yes, because our air defense system is constantly growing and manages to shoot down enemy missiles, shahedis and so on, although not as much as we would all like, and accordingly we are entering a long process of the so-called defense competition, state apparatuses, well, and accordingly the battlefield, a military machine is... a very serious mechanism, but from the point of view of comparative

characteristics, their analysis, qualitative, quantitative, it is not so difficult to compare, if we compare potential opportunities now of the russian federation, it has actually set the budget surplus for the current year with its decisions. high task, and if i were asked whether i believe that these indicators will be achieved, understanding everything that the totalitarian machine, the post-soviet machine represents, and yes, in some ways it will be achieved, but not in technologies, not in quality and not in the indicated indicators, as of december 2000... the 24th year in terms of quantitative indicators, these capacities in terms of aid to ukraine

will help ukraine gain dominance on front on ammunition, on armored vehicles, at the end of spring on closing the sky from impacts by missiles and systems. bombing, i.e. these indicators, i am now talking about the plans, at first i said about the plans that are in russia, now i am talking about the plans that are in the states of the european community, nato states and specific corporations that are engaged in the production of equipment. the next thing, i think that many of the listeners and viewers noticed this thing that sounded throughout the year 2023, this is the so-called block of countries that will be

engaged in the production of artillery, armored vehicles, aircraft and increasing the naval capabilities of ukraine, the so-called coalition of guns, armored vehicles, aviation and naval capabilities. we have already forgotten about those coalitions that were formed within the framework of ramstein. and the so-called copenhagen format, where the anglo-saxon states separately formed their coalition to help ukraine. once again, i will repeat the thesis, which is already found in the western press, german, british and certain american publications. according to the indicators of 2024, ukraine will dominate in certain indicators, thanks to the help. europe and of the united states of america, it must be recognized, it must be understood, and from the point of view

of the competition between the totalitarian system and the system of the democratic, competitive system, i have no doubt that german, american, french, british corporations, and these achievements will overcome, because first of all, the formula... of private-state cooperation is applied there, that is, both the state and the private sector undertake to launch these industrial production lines, because we are talking about... not only the quantitative parameters of the production of equipment, munitions and weapons, in fact, in several cases, we are talking about building certain lines from scratch, and we are not only talking about achieving parity and dominance in conventional weapons, but also making a qualitative leap.

it is not by chance that in the final article of 2023 the economist. and in the first 20 articles of 2023, bild and economist began to write about the fact that a majority has been formed in the congress of the united states of america, which insists on supplying ukraine with modern complexes, medium-range missile complexes. it is no accident that in the ukrainian society, after bombings and rocket attacks during the christmas and new year holidays of ukraine. the russian military returned to the topic of transferring the war to the territory of the enemy , now they have started to write about it again, because this is a direct consequence of the fact that the congress formed a coalition to supply ukraine with modern weapons and a medium-range missile complex, that is, take from

300 to 800 km, so this is what we are talking about, and if you add to this the fact that today there are armored vehicles and the f-16, then in principle you can look quite encouragingly regarding the year 2023, let's say so , and stabilization, well, first of all , the most important thing for me is in the informational and psychological state, because this, this depressive, forgive me for the slang that hung in the air at the end of 2023, he is... not dangerous by the fact that he breaks the front line, he kills ours, our feeling, but as the polls of the democratic initiatives fund and the rozumkov center showed at the end of 2023, they were published somewhere in the 10s, early 20s, even numbers december,

90% of ukrainians are convinced of victory, and if to talk about... the mood of ukrainian society, then it has a hopeful, encouraging character and content, so the external and internal parameters of 2024 will be determined by these things, by which trends they can be characterized, well, we can talk a lot about this, but i am convinced in the fact that in this confrontation, which begins now with the comparison of quantitative... indicators of the budget and so on, russia will not be able to compete with the west, it is fundamentally incapable of doing so by its very nature, therefore , your truth is that what if and so that they don't planned, they can only pave their way on the front lines with people, and they will

continue to do so, they will continue to do so. and this should be understood as the main means of assaulting ukraine by the aggressor. mr. roman, you mentioned that a strategic vision may finally be implemented, in particular, regarding the supply of medium-range missile systems. this is an extremely important decision, and i unwittingly involve this matter, in particular, in what, for example, happened in the territory of the russian federation, in particular, when we are talking... about the belgorod region, i do not have secret information about the military plan, yes, but we understand what narratives are being spread in the russian federation. we must give a clear answer to the question of belgorod: the armed forces of ukraine have nothing to do with what happened there. the fact is that both vykursk and bilhorodsk regions,

which are border regions, through whose territory i launch... missile complexes in ukraine, they risk the fact that some of these complexes, falling short of reaching ukraine, also fall in kursk, and in belgorod, as well as in other border regions of the russian federation, and now it has already been proven by the remains of the wreckage of missile complexes, which or which it has already become fashionable to talk about the fact that the combat part of missiles. went to she went somewhere to a kindergarten or to a private residential complex and so on. at the same time, i would ask everyone to pay attention to... the thesis that dmytro yarosh expressed in his post: he is right in some ways. the ukrainian side must clearly

develop a response plan to such shelling of cities and villages of ukraine. do not reflect, this the most important it is necessary to decide on objects and points that fall under the category of military and military. objects and when shelling occurs, react and hit these objects. in no case can the principle of reflection be applied here: i shoot where i see. this is the first. i insist on this once again, and it is necessary for everyone to understand it. ukraine has not shelled and will not shell military objects or military objects. this is compliance. compliance with the norms of humanitarian law, i do not want to name the number, the numerical number, how many the military of ukraine, representatives

of the defense forces, that is, both the armed forces, the national guard, and voluntary military formations, are currently in prison for having violated humanitarian law, but i emphasize this once again, the ukrainian army, armed... . the forces of ukraine adhere to the norms of humanitarian law, and if any cases occur from the point of view of events on the front and in the rear, then these are excesses, this is something that does not fall under orders, command and so on, and is an exception, and is an accidental event, which is recognized as ukrainian political leadership and military command , as a violation of the norms of humanitarian law, i was a little surprised that after the events in belgorod, some ukrainian journalists

began to talk about it, and maybe it was ours who began to hit anywhere, i emphasize this, the armed forces of ukraine do not strike on civilian objects, because every military man has a monument with him, in which it is written, this monument has been approved yet. active letter of the ministry of defense, the ministry of health, the general staff in 2015, are the relevant instructions of the general staff the ministry of defense, which is approved by the presidential decree and the orders of the ministries and departments that regulate the behavior of soldiers, representatives of the armed forces of ukraine, which fully comply and... are obliged to comply with the norms of humanitarian law, well, i completely agree with you, and we understand, how the enemy would like to use it, on the one hand the enemy, talking about the fact that this is

ukraine, would be shelling bilhorod, he is counting on his internal audience, yes , at one time they blew up houses, yes do you remember the story about the so-called ryazan sugar and so on and so forth, in order to activate the processes of internal mobilization of the russian nation, on the other hand, we also understand that this is calculated on whom, on our overseas and european allies, and for good reason a missile flew into poland, i will kill you now, after the events in belgorod , the security council was convened at the initiative of the russian side, please draw your attention to the position of the representatives of the united states, france, great britain and germany, who absolutely clearly gave an assessment, it's a mess. in the russian army, and claims about what happened in biloghor should be presented not to ukraine, but to the kremlin. ukraine adheres to the norms of international humanitarian law, and

this was also proven by subsequent reports about the fragments of those rockets that fell on the heads of the civilian population in belgorod and other border settlements . now, as for the missiles that flew into the territory of poland. poland is a nato country. na, the territory of poland, like the territory of all nato states, is in question anti-missile, anti-aircraft security, monitored by the aegis system, this is a system of anti-missile defense of nato countries, which bears the name aegis. this system is controlled. from two centers, from ramstein in europe and from mir in turkey. this system is able to monitor the situation, starting from the entire field. this

sky of nato countries, ending with neighboring states. the system is on standby in automatic mode. if the announced parameters are correct, and they say that the missile flew 40 km into the territory of poland, then this means that this system was disabled from automatic activation. this means that... depending on who was on duty, whether it was the control center in ramstein, or the control center in izmir, the one who was in charge of this monitoring gave the command to turn it off, because i say again, during the approach, during the trajectory, corresponding, and it is calculated by the signature very simply , by the monitoring system, such a missile can be lost by the proijes system, both at the stage of rising into

the air, and at the stage of reaching the highest point and when aiming at the target, that is, the iijes system, which is unique to date with from the point of view of controlling the skies of nato countries. it is not clear to me, or they were wrong, and today the press is circulating incorrect parameters regarding where and how much this missile hit, because i do not believe that the command... of the system could disable the automatic operation mode of this system, in including unsubstantiated statements that these missiles, which x is talking about, and they are all missiles of the iskander complex, let's say, they are capable of bypassing the monitoring systems of the aegis anti-missile defense, so the question needs further confirmation or...

refutation from the point of view of the authenticity of the facts that have been voiced, but the fact that the rocket landed on the territory of poland is true, it is another matter that the statements that the poles could not, the poles are not capable, this is not true, because i emphasize this once again, the patriot system, which is on duty, including in poland, is integrated into the aegis system in ukraine. is in autonomous control mode, it is not integrated into the aegis system, hence the missile, anti-missile, anti-missile complex petriu - it is only a tool for the impression of an attacking missile, not a self-sufficient institution. therefore, to present claims to the poles, well, it is a little wrong, because we do not know the things about which i am now, now speaking, due to which

circumstances these... you came to be, well, in order for me, for example, to draw a conclusion, i need additional information, so i can’t tell you clearly what happened and why there was such an action or inaction, and not knowing certain information, i just didn’t start rambling, well , there are just specifics of certain protocols, yes we understand that the enemy, in particular the russian federation, can deliberately pretend that some missile is accidental, he can deliberately direct them. well, pay attention to the thesis that was voiced by prime minister tusk, he said that in a strategic perspective, europe is definitely a target for russia, that is, he is very wise here, let's say, if the key to the problem was wrapped in a wrapper, he said not now, but in a strategic perspective, on the one hand,

if he gives a chance... to moscow and beijing and tehran to come to tama, and on the other hand, he understands that there is no one there to approach tama, and therefore it is necessary to build up the security defense potential, but still he leaves, well , a chance for another, another way of conducting a dialogue with the führer of moscow, and i must say that, so far, i have not seen a more accurate depiction. 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 the target, the bill on beginning of 2024, there literally in the first numbers about the fact that in the winter of 2024, the 25th year will take place on...
