information war against ukraine , which russia is waging, that is why it is very responsible to submit a strong, high-quality law and vote it without all these delays and discussions, because there is no one to fight, we understand very well that the volunteers went first, and they were patriots, they were the ukrainian elite, and we lost a significant part of these young patriots, and it is extremely unfortunate and painful, today in kyiv there was a funeral of a famous ukrainian poet who died, and people of culture and many other famous... their extremely talented people die every day, then left people who may not have wanted to be volunteers, but are responsible, law-abiding, and when they received summonses or phone calls, they understood that it was necessary and they went, and these people are also fighting, this is not enough, because the mobilization resource russia is huge, it is much bigger, and because of that we need to adopt an effective quality law, but to strengthen recruitment, in the army there are many places that pay well, what if we don't scare people, but explain to them that they don't have to... on

the front line, but can work as professionals there are it specialists, like professional engineers, then people would leave, and we see, on the example of those units that independently carry out recruiting and deal with it professionally, they do not have a shortage of people, they have an oversupply of people. today, during his visit to estonia, volodymyr zelenskyi also mentioned mobilization, about men of mobilization age, and called on them to return to ukraine from abroad in order to support the economy of their country and protect it. and let's listen to what the president said: if we want to save ukraine, if we want to save europe, then all of us must understand that either we help ukraine or not, or we are citizens who are at the front, or we are citizens who work and pay taxes, because there will be no money for the army. and there will be no military money,

there will be no military, there will be no one to defend ukraine, these are the rules of life. mr. mykola, the question regarding those who are abroad, some left under current legislation, some violated this legislation, but in any case, this issue will be evident in the new draft law on mobile phones. in ukraine and is obviously in position of european solidarity on this matter, i.e. zelensky says: listen, go home, you must either defend, join the army, or be a reserve of this army, or pay taxes here, it is enough for you to be in europe, does it sound convincing enough now, or maybe in a different way, like with the recruiting system you mentioned. to

the third brigade of a separate assault unit, perhaps in this way it is necessary to talk with people who have already left and live in europe, but may return, and they are afraid of something, are afraid, that they will be persecuted , they are afraid that they ran away from retribution , they are afraid that they bought themselves white tickets, of course, we are interested in returning all ukrainians who are abroad, uh, but first of all, i do not know how many of these men of draft age, because mostly women and children left. mostly young people left, our enlisted age is still from 27 years old, which means that there are a lot of young people, they simply cannot be taken into the army by law, even if they are abroad, they are still not of that age, when they can serve, and there are also many young people, of course there is some group of dodgers, runaways or disabled people, but how many of these people it is difficult for me to say, i do not think that this is a solution to this issue, and i do not think that by the way , everyone will definitely go...

everyone will serve, this is a choice, an individual choice of each person, and in order for people to go, they must believe in their country, the country must be democratic, what is happening in our parliamentary hall, when her deputy head of the committee is without uglu the speaker refuses to put to a vote the question of removing her from the post of deputy chairman of the defense committee, in which she incited in the expression between the political army and the leadership, which means she is covered when democratic processes in the country are taken over, freedom of speech is restricted . people will return when they see that the country is democratic, because then they will realize that their lives will be taken care of, and in the army too, not only by the army leadership, but also by the political leadership. therefore , in order for people to return, it is necessary to do better country, and this is entirely the responsibility of the authorities. but it's another matter that i agree with this call of the president himself, because i think it's very inconvenient whether our country is good or bad from a political point of view.

nevertheless, this is our country, and the enemy, putin, the aggressor, wants to destroy everyone, both those in power and those in the opposition, and those who fight, and those who sit at home, we are all at risk, so our task is to stop and defeat him and... the task is actually everyone. you mentioned mariana bezoglu. ruslan stefanchuk refused yesterday put to a vote the question of her dismissal from the position of the head of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense. this morning she wrote a post, a pathetic post that she is leaving the faction, leaving the party, but remains a majority deputy from the obolun district of kyiv. i will quote mariana bezuglu, because she writes a lot, really. writes a lot about the military and political leadership of the country, here she writes about the parliamentary faction that represents president zelensky in the verkhovna rada, a weak faction and party i don't need a war, i will continue to support the president's initiatives, but i don't want to have

joint obligations with people's deputies of factions that stick my back, i don't need your quota of deputy chairman of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security , defense and intelligence, that's what what happened yesterday in the session hall, when stefanchuk did not want to bring up the question of the verkhovna rada of ukraine regarding the dismissal of the deputy head of the parliamentary committee from the position, which he so quickly closed session session, does it generally contribute to consolidation within the walls of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and especially before such a vote for such... important draft laws, such as on mobilization, is this tyranny after all, it was and remains a sign of power, a single power and the only party that now dominates absolutely all authorities. well,

it seems to me that now the situation is improving, and there is no longer such a strong confrontation between the president and the commander-in-chief, which all the media wrote about, we do not know, what it was like as far as it was, but at least what was written about it, we saw it, and the very activity of maryana, which testified, she was the personification of this confrontation and the initiator of this confrontation, and everyone was just waiting for what the servant of the people party would say now, that she condemns her, and in this way she will testify that she is in favor of unity between the political and military leadership, the faction did not say this, did not say it, and then suddenly they voted, and their majority in this committee, as well as in the regulatory one, in favor of remove these positions, and it was positive for... and then some other forces, someone called speaker stefanchuk and forbade him to put it to a vote against the law, although he could have put it, not the fact that there would be votes in the hall, but it would show that a significant number of factions of the servant of the people do not support the position of mariyana bezluloya, because there is also a responsibility

of the citizens, he did not do this and thus took responsibility for all her, for all the damage she brought to ukraine, you understand, and they themselves exposed what it is she is their... moment, which for some reason fought with the commander-in-chief, probably because someone thought that he could compete with the president in terms of ratings, which is complete nonsense, because thinking about ratings now is complete nonsense, now you have to think about victory . at the very end of our conversation, mr. mykola, a few words , please, about the situation in ukrainian-polish relations, because as of january 11 , there are already 1,900 trucks in queues at the border with poland, and the blockade continues on... directions of three points by the way, you were in poland, you talked to polish politicians, how do they explain this long-term blockade and during the war, when the only window to europe, or one of the main windows of europe, is after all a window through poland, well, this is such short-sightedness

of the polish government, it was the short-sightedness of the previous government that turned a blind eye to it, i had hopes for this cabinet of ministers, unfortunately, there are also forces here that... cannot and are not going to solve this quickly, and that is understandable, they have a coalition government, there is a peasant party there, without which donald tusk will not have power, who actually has a frankly pro-ukrainian position, he has always taken such a position, but he cannot quarrel with his coalition partners, and it seems to me that there should be a more active ukrainian position here authorities , we should turn to our other partners, to the european union, to nato, because this is a direct threat to our security, we are not talking only about the economy here, if the poles cannot cope with it, 50 people constitute and create a threat to ukrainian security and are taking steps that are beneficial to the russian federation in contradiction even to the interests of poland itself, then nato and our other european partners should intervene, the fact that the romanians are building their own autobahn, i only welcome it, the poles are losing on this, it is an absolutely unwise and

irresponsible position, but i believe that the democratic coalition that came to power will find a way to correct this situation. thank you, mr. mykola, it was mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine. from the european solidarity faction. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us on these platforms. please like this video. no, make this video disappear somewhere in the nets of youtube, because it is very important for our program that you raise this video in the top of the youtube channel with your likes, and most importantly, take part in our today's survey, because today we ask you about trust in the leadership of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, if you trust the leadership of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, then everything is quite simple on youtube. press button, if not - no, and if you have your own special opinion, please write it in

these or other statements of russian officials are connected with, those officials who oppose ukraine, who call for the destruction of the ukrainian state, who threaten us with new strikes and nuclear weapons, as dmitry medvedev, the deputy head of the russian security council, did today. federation, he said that, in principle, we have already used and tested all the weapons that we had in ukraine, and only one weapon remained, which we have not yet used in ukraine. let's listen to what dmitry medvedev said. a series of recent intensive and effective strikes on enemy military facilities in ukraine, which were carried out by the armed forces of the russian federation, confirms. successful and effective the work of our defense-industrial complex during 2023, in addition

, as you know, various media with different contents were used, except for the nuclear one, so far, medvedev made such a statement, and we already have roman tsimbalyuk in contact, roman, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast, congratulations, sergey, to those viewers who are not subscribed to roman tsimbalyuk's youtube channel, please do so immediately and subscribe to roman tsimbalyuk's youtube channel. operational analytics and operational comments that he makes roman sybalyuk, more than 1 million viewers are already watching. subscribe to roman tsymbaryuk's youtube channel. it's nice and useful. roman, we started with dmitry alkaguleyevich, medvedev, as you say. and here he is talking about the fact that they have already used all the weapons that they had in ukraine or in ukraine, and

only one weapon remained, which is nuclear, but he did not say why, talking about the military-industrial complex of russia, how widely he does it, he did not explain, but how is it that they have so many weapons, and ballistic ones rockets, they are forced to take in kimchinin in this small. the rogue state, the world, north korea? well, actually, i don't think we have to be ironic about it here. it is clear that russia is at war with us in full force, they are using all the means at their disposal, and indeed they have used all the means of defeat that are possible. and they really want to destroy everyone here. perhaps we should ask the question in a different way. as if there. did not have comrade kim, who is not our friend at all, he has no problem handing over missiles to the russians

for 300 km, and our allies have such problems, and the impression is that we have not yet received such and such weapons, and probably all these words of medvedev and, accordingly, the international schedule should be used precisely in order for the position that the minister recorded ... which was recorded by the president of estonia, that no restrictions should be imposed in terms of the nomenclature and in terms of hitting russian targets. territory, because the russians are actually not that bad and feel in this context, because because they have weapons, they work and they need to do all this to answer, so i would understand here that it sounds a little strange that the so-called second

army of the world is taking away missiles in the dprk. but this does not make it easier for us, by the way, the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine announced that they had received preliminary evidence that russia had hit ukraine with north korean missiles, because before that there was information from the american and british special services that the ballistic missiles, which were produced in north korea were used against the ukrainian state, the use of these... russia against ukraine? apparently, you can use different words here and there to formulate summaries, it doesn't change anything, but let's do it again, without emotions, we don't

need another worry, we need actions and counteractions of our government, our defense. complex and allies, and it seems to me that it is necessary to get out of this, there is no, well , there is simply no point in fighting north korea, well, there is such a country, a very strange country, no one wants to live there, but the people who live there, when they see something their leader, start applauding and crying, so that's it, you see, here it seems to me, these facts, what... american intelligence, it must be used in order to somehow shift this situation to our side, well, i don’t know, so is the president now, he has an international tour here, and many people are busy negotiating with our international allies, they must be told, well, really, really who has more political will than all

of nato combined, well, there are probably some arguments here that... can be transformed into both planes and weapons, but i think the emphasis should be on this, and not on the fact that what they are, disgusting and who, and this north korea, well, here we are well, let's look at them, well, in principle, this is the future of the russian federation, they are already almost behaving like this, but this does not change anything in terms of the fact that they want to kill us together, so there are less emotions, more practical steps. you have already mentioned the baltic tour, the big baltic tour of volodymyr zelenskyi, he already managed to visit lithuania, latvia, estonia, today in estonia it was announced that tallinn will provide assistance to ukraine in the amount of 1 billion 200 million euros until 2027, about this said the president of estonia, alar alar karis, and today

well, about the fact that... it is necessary to put pressure on the leaders of the european union, zelensky said at a meeting with the prime minister of estonia kaia kalas, and put pressure on those who promised ukraine 1 million artillery shells. zelensky noted that the ukrainian army has not yet received the full package of promised aid, and that today estonia can politically promote this initiative. let's listen to what zelensky said. serious leaders, if their word is anything to go by. it is worth it, and i am sure of it, then it is necessary to implement the decisions that they themselves made, and very much so wanted us to get, to see contracts , because sometimes yes, shell, we are used to it, we are in this war, and we know that deadlines sometimes fail our military, it is deadlines, but if we have

contracts in front of our eyes, it is in this already gives hope that whatever the timing is, roman, why do the baltic countries understand faster, well, although the answer, i understand, they understand the threats from russia faster, because at one time the soviet union entered the baltic countries, at the end of the 30s, and we know this whole story, but other countries that enter in the north atlantic alliance, not posi'. as you say, with a decision on long-range missiles that could solve the issue of military facilities, airfields, military logistics on the territory. of the russian federation, they still hope that russia will stop there somewhere on the border with poland, having tested its weapons there

in the same, in the same baltic countries or in moldova already after ukraine. well, you see, this is such a complicated big geopolitical solitaire, and the big players, they are trying to twist it in their own interest, precisely from the point from the point of view of geopolitics, whatever it may be, well, i... i am not currently threatened by nato states, including the baltic states, well, that is a fact, the russians might want to capture these states, return them to their zone of influence, but they simply don’t have the opportunity, and when you mentioned the amount of money that the government of estonia is trying to spend on supporting ukraine, just to... understand, the population of estonia is smaller than the population of kyiv, and this is more than 1 billion euros, well, it serious thing it's a serious help because

estonia, well, it really is a small country , they invest very, very coolly, so as far as ammunition is concerned, there is such an interesting thing here, well, first of all, there is a statement from the commissioner there is... on the issue of the internal market and services, there is such an official european t mr. breton , he says, in principle, that by march, and they promised to deliver 1 million 155-caliber ammunition by march, that they can almost cope with this, with this task, and again , it all goes to precisely in the plane of approval. the problem is not, as far as i'm concerned, not in weapons, come on let's just talk once again, nato has everything, there for some reason we all focused on the 155

caliber, which really became perhaps somewhat scarce, but there are other means of destruction, there are enough of them, and we need to talk about it, so i it seems that at the moment we are just at such a stage of uncertainty, europe is thinking...thinking what will happen in the states, and they are watching when the appropriate decisions will be made there, that is, the hope that everything will be just the way we need it, it is absolutely is alive, and everything actually leads to it, the only question is that there the people simply lead political debates, and we have a war here with the fact that dozens of ukrainian citizens who die every day in this war, both military and not only military, so it seems... well, again, if we measure by military potentials, we have that's not all , we don't have the worst allies in the world on this planet, on

the contrary, the most powerful bloc, but this is the situation, you see, there the americans have been approving us money, it seems, since october, and everyone says, yes, yes, it's very important , and so on, and so on, but against this background, what is happening in october, comrade. shkim is not quite yet behaved, he did not threaten the same united states, south korea with war so much, and the states are the guarantor of security and have their army in south korea, that is, the more the western world delays in making a decision, in fact, which the military has long calculated, and this is a military-technical solution, it is. and it is not necessary to say that it is only a matter of missiles, it is possible, i don’t know, to send the f-16 pilots on vacation, they will gladly go, ah, we will even

grant them citizenship, i think that zelensky will gladly sign the relevant decrees, that is, there are options, and it is necessary to work with this, to work , to explain, i think, in fact , this visit to the baltic states is very useful precisely because estonia, latvia, and lithuania. they are still, they are sitting at this nato table, they are, yes, maybe not the most influential in terms of the military potential of the state, but they have the opportunity to convey our position, and this should be appreciated and in other words, we should work, not whine and not ignore hands, because those who lower their hands will be beheaded, this applies to all citizens of ukraine. roman, this indecision. that you tell the world about of the united states of america and the members of the north atlantic alliance, how it affects the kimchi, and we see how it

affects it, it is absolutely obvious how it affects putin, that is, does it mean that putin, without receiving seriously from the north atlantic alliance of weapons that may be in ukraine, that he believes that he can continue to destroy ukraine, that he can continue to kill ukrainians and go further to the western border, and from there take some positions regarding negotiations with nato and to threaten them with the western border of ukraine. and already to to reach some negotiating point, well, serhiy, this is the second time you are talking about the fact that they will reach the western border, go to the border with nato, they will not leave, they will not leave, because ukrainians live here, this is the ukrainian state, we are armed, but we have a question, the question is that we do not have enough weapons to throw them out of the territory of ukraine, to hold these borders. if

we ourselves start to plan a little, manage the situation, use the resources we have, make the right fortifications there, we can , we will hold these lines, they won’t get anywhere, then it’s just a question of what this war is going to, so you know, i don’t think that anyone, by the way, in russia, i don’t i feel such sentiments that they have... the ability to get somewhere, they don't have the ability, they don't have the strength, and in fact they don't have the desire, here, but about vladimir putin, well, he, well, he plays objectively in soldiers, he does not care how many people die, he does not count russians, ukrainians, and you know, my colleague, with whom we worked for many years in moscow, he is a german journalist,

he called me last night, he is now in... and says that this happened to me today, he went to the hotel, which is 700 m from mine. here, and with emotions, he says , that what is good for a german and a ukrainian is death for a russian , which means that until the moment there is no such guarantee that they will fly to belgorod, rostov and other cities, they will beat kharkov for many years and they will laugh at us, you know? and it is necessary to convey e-e and to of the military-industrial complex of ukraine , what should be an answer, an answer, because they will not understand in any other way, they are not in danger, well , at the end of the year they killed 20 people with their tails, their children were killed in belgorod, they are killing more of ours, both children and adults, and it does not change anything, they should be afraid, they should be hurt, this is the only way to solve this problem. therefore

, i proceed from the fact that ukraine will not go anywhere, the question is in the borders and in the price, then how to stop them, this price must be mini for us minimize, for them on the contrary. thank you, roman, for your work and for your inclusion on the espresso tv channel. we continue to work, and friends, we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube platforms. and on facebook, for those who are watching us there right now, please be sure to like this video, subscribe to our youtube and facebook pages, and vote in our poll, today we're asking you if you trust you are the leadership of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, no, everything is quite simple in youtube, you choose two options, yes or no, eh, and also write your comment about what you think under this video, we are interested to know your
