so that he does not feel his 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, a matter for the general staffs, i am not saying only the ukrainian general staff, but also the allied staffs. well, from my point of view, the year 2024 should be the year in... the formation of combat-ready forces of the ramstein format and the management system, to the point that what would have flashed in the western press regarding the possible opening of the second front, where and how, it is again, this is a matter for the headquarters, but in addition to helping ukraine, one must think about how the moscow führer's appetites are for attacking europe and other points. must be subdued, and for that the trend

that is currently shining in the middle east, where in his recent, very recent interview , benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, said that this war is for many months, we are talking about a war between israel hamas and israel hezbollah and israel and the houthis, it is actually a war. and this is a potential war with iran, a potential war with the russian federation, yes she, for some reason, they are ashamed to call her, well, the world , the current world surprises me in its reluctance to really look 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 such a 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 rest on stubbornness, excuse the taftology of this or that congressman, yes , i was extremely surprised and alarmed when i heard from our ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, mr. kuleba, that we are not considering any options. in b, that there is confidence, well, that the united states will provide us with the necessary macro-finance, on the other hand, we understand that not such miracles have happened to the united states. well, it is worth mentioning only the storming of the capitol and we understand that the united states is currently going through probably the most dangerous election campaign in its history. you understand what, mr. antin, is the problem, in the conditions of recognized multipolarity,

it is impossible to return to monopolarity, it is necessary to go through leadership, and leadership is something that has a strong will, is american society, which in its history tends towards isolationism, able to talk about leadership in the present situation, which means help, which means, forgive me for using this term in this you'. in this case it is a 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 this the exam america will pass, 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 fact is... that these concrete

slabs that consist of the russian-ukrainian war , the iranian-israeli war, and the chinese-taiwanese confrontation, they must stand on a solid foundation, because god forbid, one of them will tilt, they will begin to fall like dominoes, thank god, the state department understands this, in the pentagon, in 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 next fall - this year, in the united states of america, and in june in europe, when the european parliament will be elected, is a choice including about what fate awaits the war criminal putin, the red dictator sidzen.

all this crowd of fundamentalists in iran and so on, and such scumbags from this troika as lukashenko, etsera, maduro, there... kimchenin, kimchenin and so on, that is, in fact, the year 2023, the 23rd year at the end, he noted beginning a turning point, and here president joseph biden and all others are right, but the 24th year is the year of defining the turning point, the formation of an ascending force that will be able to strike at the russian. fascism, dictatorship, the red dictatorship of china, the islamic fundamentalists of iran, and so on. this is what we are talking about, how effective it will be, from my point of view, for ukraine, for a break,

it will be effective. f16 and they will give , forgive me for intruding like this, well, but we understand that there are certain, so to speak, indicators, litmus tests, these are not even discussed here about some symbolic number of f16s, for example, three, four or five squadrons, look, all the decisions have been made, i remember the statements, do not suffer from these things, and lloyd austin and mark miley that by the end of 23 th year, the f-16 will be in ukraine, this is the maximum that was called, but where the dog is buried i thought. the capabilities of neither the united states of america nor european countries allowed during the year to re-equip them and bring them to the level of integration for participation in hostilities as part 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 actually all... contracts that were not fulfilled or obligations that were not fulfilled, then the reason for their non-fulfillment lies in weak industrial capacities, which, as you understand, at least months, if we take the shortest necessary lines for production, let's say, ammunition, it was not by chance that i stated the thesis at the beginning that it will actually be on the field only by the end of 2024. 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 viewers that roman bezsmertny, an iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat, was working for you on espresso.

verdict with serhii rudenko. from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top. guests, foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, as well as feedback, you can express your opinion at the end of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and tune in, verdict with serhii rudenko, every weekday, from 20:00 to 22:00 at espresso. now, a retired military colonel of the british army will be working on the air of the tv channel. expert glen grant. glory to ukraine, mr. colonel, god save the king. god save the king. well, the scenario of a long war has already taken its toll. so we understand that the question will be in resources, it's money, it's equipment, and it's prepared human reserves. yes, we understand

that the russian federation has now demonstrated its vileness, that is, what they can do. in particular, it is about massive missile strikes on ukrainian cities. our air defenses have demonstrated to the russian interlopers that we can work 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, which strikes to deliver, 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. currently 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 a certain stage you will have to suffer, 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 for intercepting drones, this... 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 approach differently how drones attack and how missiles do it, because every missile launched from the ukrainian side is worth its weight in gold. while russia continues to receive drones from its allies and is actively preparing to manufacture its own. so in the medium term, we just have to hope that we don't fall short. missiles and that western countries such as great britain, the united states and germany are actually able to provide

ukraine with more missiles than it needs. in order to radically 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 something, about the need to move the war deep into russia. in particular, it is mostly about the destruction of certain russian military facilities. but this requires technology, and the necessary technology that would allow this to be done is currently under a certain, so to speak, unspoken taboo. we 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 try to achieve some kind of breakthrough. it seems that they want to take the audio because that will be enough for putin to declare that they

have moved forward. but when you don't have enough equipment and missiles, you can't attack deep into russia. and if it were possible to strike with long-range missiles, then one question must be asked: will it help frontline? and the answer at the moment is rather no. in fact, it can create even more problems, including even more to set the population of russia to fight against ukraine, if you start killing people inside russia. therefore, it is very problematic before the elections. i think that you need to see how the elections in russia will be held 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 heavy objects should be under the sights, the neutralization of which will directly affect the course of the war. we are interested in the big one fish. obviously, we are talking about the largest objects

in crimea, about ships like novocherkassk, about the crimean bridge. that's why we have to strike, because cutting off crimea will change the whole geopolitical situation for russia, attacking one more fuel depot behind the front lines in russia probably won't matter much to the front line, so we have to do something that will actually bring big realistic gains, which will change the course of the war. and not just hitting anything, but recently a rocket flew into the territory of 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, well, according to the west, we need to make a certain strategic decision for ourselves, about the readiness to respond in one way or another, possibly in a military way, if there is a military operation has been carried out, i am not saying that it will happen now, but we understand that putin is demonstrating his readiness. on the other

hand, perhaps putin in this way wants to force the west to protect its resources, in particular when it comes to anti-aircraft systems defense, about missile complexes and so on. you're touching on two points here: the first is how much longer can putin continue to operate and, frankly, will he be able to continue at this rate for another couple of years, because what is he doing? he simply throws into ukraine what he has in abundance, people, weapons, ammunition, and this can continue for a very long time. let's not forget that he controls the launch of missiles, so he can do it when he feels like it. now, in a week of next month, at the speed he can afford, and russia will be like this continue as long as possible. at the moment , russia is not sending any incoming signal, i am talking about the missiles that flew into romania and poland. these are just mistakes on putin's part, and the message that putin can continue

to fight has long been sent to both brussels and 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 win such a large-scale battle. the west is really capable of a lot. what can be done to prevent putin from advancing his aggressive ambitions, but if the course of the war will be the way it is now, then putin will definitely not stop, and the west will have to look for new ways. how to slow it down? it will likely be about stronger sanctions, about increased control over their compliance, in order to find out exactly which processes can be stopped in this way. 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 soon we will see certain small steps, but

we will not learn about many things, because it will happen between banks, between financial institutions. there will be a lot of discussions between european officials, between american officials and, for example, switzerland that we will never know about, so you can be sure that there is a lot of discussion behind the scenes in an effort to reduce putin's ability to continue this war as it is at this stage. in order to change the course of events on the battlefield, we need aviation in sufficient numbers. we we understand that a principled decision has already been made, and we thank the royal family of great britain for this. storm shadows work, yes, but storm shadow combined with aviation is a completely different quality, right? we understand that this would require not individual aircraft, but perhaps two or three or four squadrons of f-16s. accordingly, this entails the strengthening of our air defense system, which could cover military airfields, so

we understand that russia is also preparing for similar scenarios. frankly. i can not to answer this question because i don't know what the 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 get the 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. for there must be some element of surprise in their launch , and another question whether they will maintain the line collision, 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 the most important thing that will change the situation on the front. this is high-quality training, high-quality training of commanders and soldiers, this is the first and most important thing, because in order for this not to happen, soldiers still have to fight on the front lines, they manage somehow with drones, but it is worth remembering that f-16s won't destroy drone air cover, they won't engage them , even if you have f-16s, even if you have more abrams. what is the sky, so instead of constantly thinking about what russia uses, you will still have something large-scale, 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 a greater number of weapons did not help to counterattack, quality is important

training so soldiers can continue to fight the way they fight, and even better, to me, that's the highest. education is especially important in the case of mobilization, soldiers must be properly trained before going to the front, otherwise they will simply be killed in large numbers. so there is still a lot of work to be done on this, you should not put all your hopes on the f-16. you should not wait in the clouds, of course they will help you move forward, but probably not in the way you expect. and finally, mr. colonel, what signals? now what is most expected in london, berlin or washington from our military and military-political command. i do not think that 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 lies in its internal politics, which is closely

related to negotiations regarding the positions of political parties before the presidential elections. that's the problem. the question will continue to be with you, there is no doubt about it, they know what is happening and will do everything, to support ukraine in every possible way, but they are running out of equipment and actually running 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. speaking of great support. it will continue to come from poland, and much more aid may come from southern 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, the signals, they have not changed, but for

some countries they should be stronger than for others. thank you very much, mr. colonel, for this frank conversation, i would like to remind our viewers that currently on the air of spresso was a retired colonel of the british army, glen grant, a military expert, god save the kin, glory to ukraine, i... it's time for our program ran out, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important things. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. good evening, we are from ukraine. it's 18:13 on the clock and... the live branded broadcast of the espresso tv channel continues its long broadcast. today , yuri fizer and i, together with my colleagues , have prepared for you the most important things at the moment. in particular, serhiy zgurets will talk about

the military component of our fight against the russian aggressor. oleksandr morshevka, as always, will tell in detail all the most important things from the world of money. the unique lina chechenina, our art viewer, will talk about how ukrainian culture survives during the war. of course i am. i'll tell you, i'll give my contribution, i'll tell you about what happened during the past day in the world, and the highlight of our broadcast today, a big broadcast, will be natalka didenka, who will tell us about what to expect from the weather in the next day, and maybe look a little ahead , we'll see, well, it's all waiting for you for the next, well, two hours, so make yourself comfortable. and we let's start, but i'm starting with this, collection continues. the espresso tv channel calls for participation in the collection of kamikaze drones for the 93rd separate

mechanized brigade of kholodny yar. these soldiers have been actively defending ukraine since 2014 in the hottest areas, including the battle for the donetsk ilovaisk airport, the battles for sumy region and kharkiv region, solodar and bakhmut in donetsk region. right now, defenders need kami drones . goats in sufficient numbers, they can in a matter of minutes stop almost any offensive and any assault actions of the enemy, equipment, manpower, where there is no the wings of a drone are lost, the wings of human dreams and hopes. on your screens you saw the qr code and the information about the financial information that you can discount - discount your donations, again you discount. them in order to protect our soldiers who are fighting for our future. well, let's start, the enemy continues

to actively shell ukrainian regions, in particular, dnipropetrovsk region came under fire during the past day, after midnight the russians shelled marganets, in dnipropetrovsk region the enemy hit the city with heavy artillery, five were damaged. flat-bed trucks and two cars - the head of the region, serhiy lysak, said that fortunately there are no dead or wounded, but the shelling continues, and for more details about what happened today in the region, i want to talk to dmytro bychko - dmytro bychkov, the acting head of nikopolska of the district council, mr. dmytro, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, good evening, heroin glory. mr. dmytro, well, please tell me what the situation is now after these shellings? i ask to tell only what can be told on the air. unfortunately, the enemy is already there

continues to shell nikopol, marganets and rural communities of the nikopol district for a very long time. this terror continues every day, night and day, the enemy attacks without a break around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, and of course there is a problem. it's that these attacks happen after takeoff to 10 in the region of 10 seconds, and of course these attacks can catch a person, and when he's walking a hundred hundred down the street, when he goes to the store or to the pharmacy, so those attacks are such a constant situation, what is the life of the nikopol region, ah, did not become exceptions today, on this day, the enemy fired drones and artillery at the city of nikopol and the nikopol district. i can say that we are still waiting for final information from the head of the regional state administration about the consequences of this hostile attack on the nikopol region, but i can say that

despite such... defense forces, local self-government bodies, state authorities, local residents, enterprises, all those to the people who continue to live, work and help nikopol oregon survive and to live in these difficult times of war. mr. dmytro, you can clarify, look, because this morning and eventually during the day, information appeared about the shelling of only marganets, as i understood from what you said, there was shelling, shelling was inflicted all over the region. in poland, yes, well, they hit different parts of the region, i will say that in our country, traditionally , the head of the regional state administration will bring up all these results every evening, when, after all, because the region is large and the shelling takes place in different parts, and then we already see full picture of these shellings, so what we see, what we hear, we will talk about, it is summed up at dinner, in marganyk it was at night, during today there were

corresponding attacks on the nikopol... region and they took place in different parts, not only in the city of markansky, mr. dmytro, and there was also information that the enemy is actively shelling the coastal areas, are the residents being resettled there? er, yes, traditionally people, unfortunately, suffer the most in the nikopol region, who live in the coastal zone, and this is really very many people who are simply hit during these shellings are, unfortunately, not killed or... wounded, just people lose their homes, at some point, a person simply cannot be without a home, and then we all help with this people in order for people to have some kind of suitable temporary housing while it is being restored, so i can say that people are moving out who wish to do so at the moment, but i can say that if we are talking about the resettlement of the residents

of nikopol such a today... trends there is no big one, moreover, on the contrary, we note that a certain part of people return home, because, well , it happens in different ways, some did not find themselves abroad, some still returned to visit their deceased parents, some still work in those territories and have suitable work in the territory of the nikopol district, because you know, home is home, and of course many people are drawn to it, despite the fact that we are at war, people are trying to adapt somehow and... in such realities, mr. dmytro, here you are said that the state helps to rebuild the houses of those people, the houses that were damaged by the shelling, and what do you mean, after all , you don't mean, but what is it about when you talk about rebuilding the houses that were damaged, well, there are appropriate compensation programs , which people receive, but when shelling took place, the most important thing is that the representatives of the critical infrastructure of the ministry of emergency situations provide emergency

assistance to people in order to put out the fire, close the windows, the roof, that is, everything that is necessary for so that at least people have appropriate protection from the destruction that occurred, and of course there are already different programs, because depending on the damage, this is determined in order to help the person accordingly, because it can be said that there are a lot of such cases that you are showing on the air now, this is, unfortunately, everyday life that... today is in the territory of the nikopol region, because these shellings are happening constantly, and the enemy is hitting not only the private sector , high-rise buildings, critical infrastructure , that is, it is simply terror of the nikopol region, and at any moment these shellings can take place in any part of the nikopol region, and especially in that coastal area, which they target most. look, one more question for you, as i understand it, the people whose houses

were hit by the shelling. provide temporary housing now, but for some people , again, as far as i understand, apparently, the houses may not be subject to restoration, and what in this case, well here here i can say, here of course, when the compensation is already a person of course, she receives, then she can , well, with these funds, use them either for restoration, or make some other appropriate decisions, therefore, in principle, here , depending on the damage to the property , the decision is made accordingly by the person, then... by the local self-government bodies that help in this case, but we can, of course, understand that , let's say this, people try to make such intermediate repairs, because of course there can be such cases that, of course, when a person has repaired, and then flew again, that's why of course, as a rule, why is it not covered with windows, plywood, boards and all other things that have been blown over in a year, because no one risks

putting layers. about a window or a window in general, because
