the entire border area is under fire almost 24 hours a day, be it uavs, artillery , or mortars, and we also have an arrival at the children's health camp at night today, it's sunny , it's a suburb of kharkiv, practically kharkiv, the city of kharkiv itself, an arrival of eh, iskander , where they reported that they... hit the military there, in fact there were no military there, this, the northern part of our city, it was under fire all the time even in the period when they, the front line was very close, so it makes sense there in order for the military to be there there was no hiding, and our uh, our military confirms that there are no losses, and the head of the military administration also stated this. and the mayor of the city, that is why we have a simply

destroyed civilian object and, as always, we have a classic act of terrorism with a local place , a local object, an absolutely civilian object, i also want to say that the media is constantly pushing, and the situation in kharkiv want to advance, what they dream of... that they will make a buffer zone, i would like to take this opportunity to explain to everyone, and to the residents of the kharkiv region of the city of kharkiv, and to all viewers of spresso, that today it is impossible to take and simply step on the city of kharkiv, because the city of kharkiv is a millionaire , the city of kharkiv is a city that has a subway, and the subway is, er, the most reliable bomb shelter, and just a city that has a subway in...

it is impossible to take it by leaps and bounds or with some urgent actions, this is the first, second, we have such a settlement in the pensky district as senkivka, and look, it would be possible to take them and kharkiv, in their wet dreams, but in reality, they fight for a year sinkivka, and today our defense forces are reporting that there have been assaults, and there have been claims that the russians have gained a foothold in some part of sinkivka, sonkivka, but... the village is actually under full combat control, if it were that simple , and they could safely advance on kharkiv, believe me, they would have taken all of ukraine a long time ago, and yes, we have an enemy dog, they need to tell their citizens something, and they believe that by shelling the border, they are acting as a buffer zone in order to the military moved away from the border , why, because in fact from...

from the center of the city of kharkiv to the center of the city of belgorod is 74 km, and everyone understands that there is a range of anti-aircraft missiles, there is the ability of guided air bombs, and they are simply dissipating this topic for their population, that they want to make a buffer zone , we also want to make a buffer zone, just like them, preferably 100 kilometers from kharkiv, so that these inhumans are not there until kursk oblast, you know, and our desire, it coincides with their desire, so it goes war. i would like the population not to react to hostile informational and psychological attacks, and little cool head and really critical thinking, because you can take kharkiv, but first you need to fight for kupyansk for a year and not be successful there, not be successful there, a year beaten for a son, from the 14th year for the avdiivka fights, so that everything would be like that, as they say, she has been gone for a long time. club

of ukraine, and so ukraine is free, independent and we live. in kharkiv, the atmosphere is absolutely calm. we are a little worried, ipso it works, unfortunately, on people, but i would like to reassure everyone, the defense forces will not allow do not take any action against our enemies in kharkiv oblast. 100% mr. oleksandr, well , look, these blows that are constantly being inflicted on the kharkiv region, they leave many people without housing, these people, how does the government help to resettle these people? and where do they resettle and how is it done now in conditions when such cold weather was severe? well , the recent strikes have resulted in 1,800 windows being broken in our center alone when the strike took place. of course, if there are so many broken windows, then there are a large number of people who are left without a home, but to be fair, i would like to say that...

the locals, the local authorities are practicing very promptly, quickly, people are resettled in hotels, in children's institutions, there are no problems with resettlement, very... it is done quickly and very qualitatively, by the way, very many people go to their loved ones , to their relatives, to their acquaintances, for the time being, until the windows are made, glazed, by the way, and kharkiv residents, you know, like today, we see if there in belgorod after their arrival for a week, they calculate the losses, then kharkiv residents begin to bear exactly one hour after the arrival osb, plywood, glass windows, we, we, we don't... count the damage, we're used to it, we just have to live today and improve living conditions for ourselves, for our family, so kharkiv residents react calmly, there are no you know, there are no emergency situations in this, everyone is displaced, everyone

is provided for, thank you despite, despite everything the enemy is trying to do, shelling and dogs, but the people of kharkiv are not broken, as i understand it, this only strengthens us in our hatred , do you understand? it strengthens us in our urges to fight for gives us strength, we understand that the enemy is insidious, the enemy is very tough, and we have no other, no other way out, uh, how to fight him, everything, it just strengthens us and brings us closer, by the way, even we ourselves are already there such frank quilters, even they are already beginning to doubt how close russia and this enemy are to them there, they already understand that they are simply being destroyed physically. regardless of theirs, there is a certain amount of the population who are actually still, it is no secret to anyone, and in kharkiv oblast sympathize with the enemy, but with each arrival their number is decreasing, this is a fact, and it is good, mr. alexander, i thank you very much for

joining our broadcast, telling the latest information about what is happening in the kharkiv region, obviously it is also connected with the shelling of the russian enemy, it was alexander skoryk, mp. kharkiv regional council, and now it is time to talk about something else, i have already been joined by oleksandr khara, diplomat, expert of the center for defense strategies, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine , good evening, mr. yury, glory to the heroes, mr. oleksandr, i wanted to be with you would talk about it seems to me an interesting topic, time magazine , a new issue came out, and here in this new issue there is such an interesting article 10. global risks that await the world in 2024, and there in third place, well, i am sure that it is not about priorities were set , well, the compilers just wanted to put it in third place, so there is a clause in third place: ukraine is divided, and they talk

about ukraine fighting, ukraine unbreakable, ukraine trying to resist the enemy and resisting, but they talk about what is certain... problems, and one of the problems that may await the world in the 24th year is a divided ukraine. mr. oleksandr, look , my question is this, i understand, if this point sounded like this, the defeat of ukraine under the third point, well, i understand, of course, i don’t want that and it won’t happen, but why divided, divided it can be a danger to itself ukraine, why is it divided for the world, is it dangerous, well, you know how such a problem is. and not a term, an expression that it is very difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, and of course, that we have to perceive such a work of intellectual art by jan bremer , a well-known analyst of the west, as one of one, one of the options that can potentially be

realized, it is clear that it is not discriminated, that is, that, so to speak, the trajectory in that direction until what does not show, the ukrainian, ukrainian... people prefer to protect themselves, their lives, their state and to win back, to clean their country from the oppressors, this is the first, and the second, so far i do not see, let's say, the real fatigue of our western partners from this war, especially in europe, and this is a very positive, let's say, signal that we received in the form of an increase in aid from germany, from other countries, that is, this process is not only not... stopped, it is, on the contrary, strengthened, because thank god, that thesis, which we have been trying since the 14th year, let's say, to kill in the bridges of our western partners, that it is not just about an incident, it is not just about a territorial dispute, but it is about european and

global security, and that russia cannot be allowed to do that , what is she doing with ukraine, especially so that she gets well a certain victory in the ukrainian direction, in relation to the united states, of course there is a reason. will worry, but let's see how these pre-election races will go, there are still, let's say, a large number of questions, whether mr. trump will be elected president. he 's got every chance but he's got some challenges like that and if not him then who if it's rondesan it's one story nicky gailey it's much better for us it's going to be a story that's why we don't we can know what will happen in november, but it is certain that we know what kind of help is being delayed for now for internal political american reasons, it will be voted on, i admit that i was wrong and hoped that inside... in january this issue will eventually be resolved, unfortunately, let's say

so, based on those comments of american politicians, first of all the speaker of the house of representatives, there is no consensus or compromise from the biden administration, and that's why the republicans are adamant, they're not ready to vote yet, until there's relief on the border, the southern border of the united states, that's why i wouldn't say that everything is bad, although philosophically , ukraine has been divided since 2014, because the russian federation illegally annexed crimea and at that time occupied part of the donetsk-luhansk regions as a proxy force, and now it has expanded its occupation a little more, but well by and large , the war has not ended, until it ends, with the defeat of one of the parties, or the impossibility of continuing the war with one or the other. reasons, then it can be said that ukraine is divided anew or in some other

way. so far, i do not see such trends, and i think that this is probably hyperbole in order to attract attention, and i hope that in washington they will change their failed strategy in the ukrainian direction, or rather, i would say in the russian direction, because they do not want a change of the regime there, they forbid ukraine from ukraine to strike with western weapons on russian territory, and... by and large they hold the false opinion that putin can be forced to negotiate through some small or painful victory for the russian federation, that is , it seems to me that we must draw conclusions last year and change the strategy, first of all the political strategy regarding the support of ukraine and what should happen with the putin regime in russia as a whole. ah, thank you, mr. alexander, now let's... we started talking about support, yesterday i and igor eisenberg from the united states of america talked about

supporting more of the united states of america. now let's talk about europe. you said that europe supports. but look, now i see some, well, it's not splits, but some misunderstandings that arise inside of the old continent between the leaders of the countries of the european union. in particular , there was information that german chancellor olaf scholz is very angry with french president emmanuel in particular. macron about the fact that he gives very little money to support ukraine, he is also angry at other leaders of the european union, well, this trend worries me a bit, you don't, but why is it, on the contrary, very good, that inside in old europe there is, let's say, a weight, there is pressure on others who either do not understand what is needed win. the war of the whole of europe, not only ukraine, i think it is very good, and it is very good that it happened with a representative

of the social democratic party of germany, which since the end of the 60s preferred to be very soft towards moscow at that time, well and current moscow , that is, actually before a large-scale invasion, i think this is very positive, and the most important thing is that germany has absolutely all, let's say, moral and other rights to do this, since... it is one of the three largest suppliers aid and weapons, this is the first moment, the second moment, there have already been cases when the germans gave more than they promised, of course, this is not enough for ukraine for us to win, but we must constantly remind that we are fighting in the war that everyone the entire nato bloc with the united states was preparing to fight during the cold war, and therefore, no matter how much they give to ukraine, it will not be enough to actually achieve the goal that is before us, well, a certain

realization must still happen, first of all old europe that the best way is to solve your strategic issues in the medium and long-term perspective - this is a ukrainian victory, that is, the semi-complete liberation of ukrainian territories, starting with the autonomous republic of crimea and the city of sevastopol, this is very important. and it seems to me that the 24th year will be, if there will be year after year of strategic defense on land, then the most important and fiercest, shall we say, battles and events will take place on the black sea. which will bring ukraine closer to our victory, so what, what i want to say is that the issue is not only in ukraine, the issue is not only in because we destroy the aggressive potential of the russian federation years in advance, and they will need 5-10 years to recover, and by the way, there were some interesting analytical materials, literally half a minute, that's okay,

that is, in europe they understand what can be the war is not only against russia against ukraine, but... against a member of nato, and therefore they must prepare, this is the first point, and the second, we must remember china and other, let's say, countries in the axis of evil, and it is better to defeat russia as soon as possible to direct other resources to contain china, otherwise, the russian federation will support its senior partner, and it will be bad for everyone, that is, not only for europeans, americans, but for the whole world. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr, for including in our live, for your, as always, professional comments and answers to my questions, it was oleksandr khara, a diplomat, an expert of the center for defense strategies, but we all understand that our victory is imminent on the fronts, and precisely about the situation on the fronts, my colleague serhiy sgurets, director of the defense agency, will now tell express. serhii, congratulations, you have a word. i congratulate

you, yuriy, i congratulate our viewers, today we will talk about the war in our column. about the mobilization of technologies that should eliminate the superiority of the russian army in numbers, and about what ukraine will do with the secret documentation on russian military developments, which was obtained by the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, about this in a moment. ukraine adapted to the mass assaults of the enemy and did not give in. russia to achieve its strategic goals in donetsk region and kharkiv region, russia's winter offensive failed. such an optimistic conclusion of the german publication bild is now multiplying on various networks and already in our publications. the armed forces manage to thwart almost all russian offensives for months and exact a huge blood and material tribute from russia for its

futile offensive efforts, writes bild. however, i don't think so now. we can talk about a complete halt to the enemy offensive, because it is still ongoing. today, the number of enemy attacks was as high as 77, before that it was 30, then 60, and now, as we can see, it is almost over 70 again, and 2/3 of the attacks again fell on the front line near avdiivka and maryanka, it was also difficult in other directions, and most likely after a certain time a new wave of enemy attacks should be expected in the same directions: kupyansk, bakhmut, avdiivka, and south, because in principle the enemy is used to acting according to the scheme using first of all a significant number of personnel, this is a very likely scenario, but it will hardly be unexpected for our armed forces, the main thing is that there is enough ammunition, as our military says, and now we are joining paul kishkar, this is major of the armed forces of ukraine,

deputy commander of the arterial division, people's deputy of the eighth convocation, mr. pavle, i congratulate you, i am glad to see you. i hear, congratulations, mr. serhiy, congratulations to ukraine. i will not ask you about the front in your area, i would like to talk about other components related to how to fight. holokomovych valery zaluzhnyi said that this year we should fight differently than in the 23rd year, that is, at the expense, we should fight at the expense of quality and technology. you are familiar with many military developments, which we have in the state, and you know the reality of the front. i wonder how these two things are now combined, how, what are the negative and positive examples, do you know where we should go, what does your experience say, based on our reality? i would like to say from my experience and work in the accelerator of the ministry of defense that we do not have a policy of interaction

between the ministry of defense and ukrainian arms manufacturers as such, although... although there are pleasant exceptions, in particular the acceptance into service and the purchase already under the contract of installations that have a project name saber, of course we are we expect dozens, hundreds, and possibly thousands of such complexes, not necessarily sabers, there are other developments, and ukrainian manufacturers are ready to help the armed forces of ukraine... repel the enemy's onslaught and return the lost territories, precisely thanks to technologies. oleksiy skrypnyk, known to you and me, a man who should have been the minister of the from whom i had the opportunity to learn a lot , said that the war of the future is a war of robots, in fact, if ukraine sees that

it lacks manpower, lacks qualified military personnel, then turn to ukrainian manufacturers, they will help you, you can now see how the saber actually works, and such developments, including. protected , we have a sufficient number in order not only to deter, but also to be able to counterattack flexibly, confidently with minimal losses in personnel, and this offer from a business from ukrainian manufacturers, it is open until now, but that about what mr. zaluzhnyi was talking about, probably that we should talk about the general ones. changing the defense system, this is about the fact that we, currently, we are still fighting for peacetime. we have a battalion commander or a company commander,

you have as much paperwork as in peacetime. we have periods of projectile famine, we do not have a shortage of staff, we have such a technological famine, yes, in particular for... piloted aircraft, and these and these changes, they can only be considered in a complex, and changes to the law on mobilization, and technological changes, and changes in the working principles of the ministry itself and the general staff, i insisted and insist that the release of people, including, it is to stop creating or newly creating a bunch of additional units and non-technical centers, including in the general staff and in the office of the commander-in-chief, this also applies to us, but the interaction of the structures themselves also needs fundamental changes,

in each the process must have a surname, a first name and a patronymic, that is, if we are talking about the introduction of the saber system, this process must have a surname, a patronymic, it must not only... put it into service, not only spend by states, because staff units there are no divisions yet, and it should be very fast, it should be days, preferably hours, he should then analyze the successful use of such systems on the battlefield, suggest what needs to be modernized, where the system needs to be improved for the developer, and with the new batch get more advanced weapons for the ukrainian army, therefore... this system of changes, which zaluzhnist spoke about, is needed this year, we will not have more people, the potential of the enemy is much

greater, they do not spare their human resources, so we can only respond the technology of its army, with the use of the latest technologies , with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles , with the use of robotic systems, the war of the future is a war of robots, so let's be ready for it, well then i even think that it is not so much a war of the future, it is already our war to a large extent by the war of robots, which have, relatively speaking, to take on part of the burden there and the infantryman and the artilleryman, in order to actually release a person from the most risky operations, we understand all this, we understand that now there and the minister of statistics and the ministry of defense make good statements there, the question arises, where are the wheels missing? for this mechanism to really work, because as i often say, we have such and such, such and such, but when we talk about real battles, talk with soldiers, with

officers, we understand that this there is none , and here is how to shorten this distance, where are the driving forces, where are they lacking or where should they be directed, so that there is an understanding that this is the development of tomorrow on the battlefield , after it has been planted, it has been scaled, refined and the troops have returned again, what do we lack by by your feeling? i think that the quality of people is lacking, but if it is not so strict , then there is work already done in the accelerator, and serhii vasylovich loboyk, in particular, as the head of the coordinator of the accelerator and efforts not only of the military, but also of business, has proven solutions, now we have a hunger at the front for low-power rap, i think that those... solutions that have already been worked out by ukrainian manufacturers, they deserve that days pass from the moment we spoke with you on this air until will be

signed... a new contract, i said and i say that if the system reacts badly, it does not shrink during wartime, and this is about life, does not reduce the terms of these reviews, these applications, does not reduce the reviews of signing contracts, then the rules must be changed, and this can be done by both the minister and valery zaluzhny, by their own efforts, and it is their responsibility to do so, every day, what they think. to squeeze on that, i.e. to fire specific people who are hindering this process, to shorten the terms of consideration of documents, they are responsible for the fact that we are losing both technology and people, it is theirs the direct responsibility of the minister of defense and valery zaluzhnyi, so we draw your attention to the fact that the accelerator has prepared everything from its side, is ready to consider these proposals, has direct contacts with manufacturers who have already come to field tests. and

is ready to cooperate so that it becomes mass production tomorrow and goes to the battlefield. answering specifically to your question, the people who are currently sitting in the offices must undergo training or tests at the front, if they do not have this test, they nothing to do, they don't feel this need, so my advice, a tip, i don't know, take it as you want, i'm a petty officer, but my advice is that there are people who are interested, who see this relationship between signing the contract and changes at the front, and this relationship exists, and delays in the consideration of certain documents also directly affect the preservation of human lives, if a person has this relationship, believe me, he will spend the day and night, sleep on a folding bed in the office and demand from people like boris kostenko, for example, it is often done densely,

the performance of... tasks that contribute to the fact that the units appear in the kashmki are equipped correctly, where the workplaces are correct, where trained, trained people are already working in these workplaces, so it is necessary to demand from your subordinates , so that they have this relationship between the front and technology and are each responsible in their own area for the quick signing of contracts, because... because the same saber needs a contract already for the 24th year, already, and it is not there yet , we are still thinking about what we are thinking about, well, what we will not be in on the 24th to use these complexes, there is a tandem 2, where there is a contract, there is no contract, that is, it requires such, you know, maybe i am from a draw, from the fact that i do not know how else to press for it to happen, between funerals, i tell you that in order to

have these funerals. less, sign contracts faster, contact directly with the manufacturers of ukrainian weapons, and you can improve the situation at the front in a short period of time. mr. pavle, there is another extreme question, and can the unit teams themselves be the initiators of these changes? contacting manufacturers, working out solutions, and then putting these working solutions in front of senior management, guys , implement, scale, does this model work, or does it not work in our army? well, where is yuri , surely that cannot be so, we have a unified command, that's why, but the manufacturers themselves provide the units for free, usually types of weapons or technologies so that they can be used in certain conditions where possible check the use, yes, the quality of the drone, or the turrets, or some kind of robot.

of a robotic system that mines, demines , eh, there are such things, such interaction is horizontal, it exists, we are talking about the problems of a vertically integrated system when it comes to the decision-making system, and this system, often densely, is a screwed-up soviet system for reviewing documents, from the consideration of those technologies that have already been tested by the military, often its documents, which are submitted for consideration before... the signing of contracts, they already exist and work at the front, that's the point, and there can be no delay here, i say once again , what the system itself is too big, it exists in peacetime, it cannot be like that, the system must shrink, accordingly, fewer processes, fewer people in this process, fewer signatures, fewer approvals, and in this way we will achieve some kind of success and acceleration.
