i don't know, but secretly, still secretly, knowing what people from different countries told me, i don't even want to comment on it, because i wasn't there and i don't want to distort information about an important situation for ukraine, we need to communicate more now to those who are responsible for foreign policy, because the times when it was possible to say something like this, a video address, said nato, there are many successes, vice prime minister, are over. the head of the office, the minister, all constructive ideas, we are moving forward, what can i do with it, as the head of the organization and part of the advocacy network, what i can do in the direction of nato, i heard something from these video messages, not a word, let's move forward, everything will be fine, i am the leader, i will prove everyone, well, it worked before, now we need to communicate, we need to explain our position in washington. what we will try to achieve,

a full invitation to nato or some new steps, that is, unfortunately, there is no such communication, not regarding this meeting, what you said, maybe it was necessary to do something secretly, but definitely not secretly our steps on path to nato, so i would like to pool the resources of society this year to achieve important foreign policy goals, if there is no understanding that five or six managers will not make ukraine successful in foreign policy, then... there will be failure, if the president and his closest advisers understand that it is possible to involve their supporters, even if they are not in the same bunker with you, then this will be the result, and our enemy is even doing this now, our enemy has understood this, and we still want to achieve total war, victory, without using all the forces in country, which can only be used. very much to you thank you, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important and interesting conversation with our television viewers.

i would like to remind you that valery chalyi, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america in 2015-19 worked for them on the espresso broadcast. there are discounts on eurofast, 20% in psyllanyk, pam and oskad pharmacies. new york of the 19th century is luxury, scandals and intrigues. gilded age from hbo. watch all seasons of the exquisite drama in ukrainian with a subscription. turn on aristocratic. andriy piondkovskii will be working on espresso tv channel now, a prominent political scientist based in washington. glory to ukraine, andriy andriyovych, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, good day. well, they are happening.

extremely powerful meetings with the leaders of the baltic states, lithuania, latvia, estonia , well, accordingly , semi-official statements are already beginning to appear, in particular , news arrived from estonia, so to speak, that a certain process is underway, when certain countries, representatives of the west are trying to enter or intensify the so-called process of a possible truce and immediately emphasized, analyzing this the situation, what is it... so that it fits into the interests of putin. pressure in favor of the capitulation of ukraine comes from one source. he always came out of there. this is the so-called left-liberal wing of the democratic party, which controls all the so-called quality press. we 've been getting a flood of articles from the new york times, the washington post, the hill, news week, etc. for months now. allegedly a counterattack. failed, but

what about you, the ukrainians will still never be able to defeat the russians, great sacrifices, all this must be stopped, well, think about an armistice, nothing like that, no signals coming from the american administration, although it can be blamed a lot for the lack of haste in the deployment of american aid, you mentioned zelensky's visit to the baltic countries, speaking together with the lithuanian one ... especially in a situation where russia is concentrating an incredible number of offensive means, trying to suppress the ukrainian defense system, to direct the hail of missiles they receive from iran. it sounds very positive against this background. the statement of the three is still little known in ukraine

leaders of the republican party, three heads of committees under the house of representatives, these are all famous friends. this document on 30 sheets is called the plan for victory in ukraine. he sharply criticizes the insufficient, indecisive assistance of ukraine. american administration. and what is very interesting, this document. embezzled or not,

the document, which notes that 74 pentagon audits have found no misuse of us military aid, calls on the biden administration to dramatically increase supplies. and above all, politically clearly to formulate that the goal is victory, the victory of ukraine, the withdrawal of the occupying forces from the entire territory of ukraine, those weapons that must be supplied in completely different quantities, f-16 fighters, atakams are listed. we now have accurate information about atakams. yes, they were provided, but the range. 100 miles, and there is a qualification of 180, and the document requires them to be supplied, accordingly to dramatically strengthen anti-missile defense, in addition, it is required to immediately confiscate and transfer to ukraine 300 billion confiscated

russian funds. by the way, this requirement is being considered by the administration, bloomberg reports today that president biden has spoken out in support of such a decision. now everything depends on the europeans, because most of these funds are located in europe, but i confirm again, from the official structures of the republican party , there are no proposals to put pressure on ukraine for the purpose of a cease-fire, on the contrary, there is this very powerful document of the republican party, which requires concentration on the victory in ukraine. what else is important about this document? which is impossible under such moods in the republican party to assume that in the coming days a small group of trumpists will be able to block financial aid to ukraine. how many times have i already gotten tired of predicting, but once again i affirm that, given the attitude

of the republican party, it is impossible to block financial aid to ukraine. i think in the coming days. this issue will be resolved. i do not rule out that the republicans are now so disposed, it is very interesting and very positive for us. judging by this document from the campaign speech of republican party candidate nikki haley. the regen wing of the republican party proposes to make the issue of insufficient aid, bordering on betrayal of ukraine by the biden administration, a central element of the republican election campaign. party, and in this climate, i just don't see how the republicans would block this bailout. of course, no one will put pressure on ukraine, because pressure is already happening, starting with tau missiles and ending with aviation. i don't want to start some, you know, treason or

conspiracy theory, but this is a step-by-step, you understand, the pipette support of ukraine, when it comes to important, heavy weapons and their quantity. in principle , it is alarming, yes, i cannot exclude that it is possible that we would like to deploy some such scenarios that are not entirely pleasant for us, we understand that our budget is tied to a large extent under american aid, we understand that when they start talking about 300 billion of frozen russian assets and transferring it to us, this can be a palliative moment, because in order to make such a decision, there must also be a series of whole procedures. here it is a matter of time, you are right, it is a procedural matter, starting with a political decision. by the way, the following detail was revealed: most of these funds, 210 billion, are in

belgium, where the archive of eu securities is located. it can in no way be a substitute for the financial one, smaller as it seems. aid in the amount of 61 billion, because it will not happen today, even under the most favorable conditions. judging by the latest statements of zelenskyi and the military-political leadership. every day we talk about the hours and days associated with air attacks on ukraine infrastructure and simply on ukrainian civilians . this is a great emotional outburst, are you literally quoting the exact same phrases from this republican document? my advice to the ukrainian politicians and, above all, to the council. this document appeared on the website of the house of representatives a week ago. and for some reason there was no reaction in ukraine, i understand that

president zelensky of the president’s office may not be very comfortable speaking too positively about him, because he sharply criticizes the biden administration, and the president works with the president, but this is a document congress, there is a verkhovna rada, there are inter-parliamentary relations, i propose to do it immediately. the document was signed by the three chairmen of the leading committees of the house of representatives, republicans, these are defense, intelligence and foreign policy, there are three such chairmen in the verkhovna rada, the chair of defense and intelligence, in their place i would immediately fly to the united states, hold a meeting with these colleagues, created such a working group of six committee heads, three of these wonderful... so that

they would constantly discuss the plan for the victory of ukraine, discuss and to implement it, to put pressure on the congress and the council for the appropriate governmental mechanisms of implementation, this is a very powerful ally of ours, it is being formed now, the reagan wing of the republican party is gaining the upper hand over the trump wing. i also recommend that it be immediately translated into ukrainian in all mass media, there is an excellent selection of events from 2014, all those stages at which the biden administration constantly slowed down and slowed down the transfer of newer technological means of defense. you remember how painful they were... about providing first the hymers, then the patriots, then the abrams, and finally the atakams. this is a new

trend. the republican party appears to be framing its election campaign as a criticism of biden for failing to fulfill his role as leader of the free world. and this is a positive trend, it must be supported as much as possible by ukraine. andrii andriyovych, well, i would like to ask you about the forecasts, we are talking about the big davos forum, we understand. that the issue of russian aggression against ukraine will be extremely high on the agenda there powerfully on the other hand, we understand that most likely the kremlin also works with certain environments. we saw the reaction of europe on our most difficult day in washington. december 12, when zelensky's visit failed. when he failed to convince the american congress to sign this bill, it caused a very strong reaction in europe. i don't need

to remind you about orbán, we know very well that the project worth 50 billion was approved, and the politically important invitation to start negotiations on eu accession for a country at war is unprecedented, and financial aid packages the assistance provided additionally by the scandinavian... and the acceleration of the process of the transfer of aircraft by the scandinavian countries, and the criticism, the serious criticism of the american hesitation and delay, for example, in the sharp statement of the foreign ministers of france and great britain, these fears of europe, europe took the warning very concretely, the american administration, trying to get this approval of the financial plan, warned very clearly that it... the language would lead to war. i remember austin,

god bless him, he is now after operations, sat at the table and said: "i am now forced, i am now considering plans to transfer american soldiers to europe." because in case of refusal of funding and success of putin, we will have to fight with the russians, you know? what is it all about? he did not succeed in convincing the members of the chamber, who hesitated, but it made a huge impression on... the europeans. europe has now dramatically increased its political support for ukraine. in my opinion, this trend will dominate the forum. and ukrainian should definitely take advantage of this delegation. once again, i call on ukrainians and politicians, first of all the verkhovna rada, to immediately respond to this document, to make it an interparliamentary document. once again, i repeat my position to create a permanent commission of three heads. the three heads i mentioned:

turner, rogers and mccall and three heads from the ukrainian verkhovna rada. to make it a political ramstein, you see, there were hopes that ramstein would meet once a month and plan the victory of ukraine, but he did not fulfill this role, turned into a message about those deliveries weapons, which the americans have carried out at the moment, and there should be a body that daily jointly plans the victory of ukraine, politically decides what is needed for this victory. thank you very much andrii andriyovych for this extremely important and relevant conversation . i want to remind our viewers that andrii pionkovskyi, a famous political scientist who is in washington, was currently working on spresso. the time of our program has run out, stay tuned to the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this days take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. there are

10% discounts on lyzak in the pharmacies of psylshynik bam and orshchad. there are discounts on tos mai of 15% in the pharmacies pszyslynyk bam and oshchad. hello everyone, this is donbas reality and i'm olya tyrybynska. president of russia vladimir putin. ordered to increase the country's army by almost 170,000 more people, who and how are they going to replenish the russian army in the 24th and will the kremlin announce another wave of mobilization? about it today in donbas realia. i stayed, i stayed for almost a year on the territory of the luhansk people's republic, i was in the assault squad

squad we managed to find a man who escaped from the russian army, while he , according to him, remains ... a patriot of his country, our interlocutor gave exclusive details about both the service and the war, for the purpose of his safety, name and voice we changed no soldier will ever think that he is an invader, or that he has to kill someone very urgently, if he thinks that way, he will die. well, i'm convinced of that, well, it's stupid. when you are in the military, when you are a soldier, i think you should think first of all about how to pump yours military

of service gave the order to the platoon to retreat, at the same time he was wounded in both legs, jammed one grenade like that, took out the second, tore out the ring and that's how i got the hero of russia, this was one of the factors why i went to fight, and the second factor was that , that i have quite a lot of relatives in luhansk, if our interlocutor is to be believed, muscovites were not immediately thrown to the front, and as a result, out of 1,500 mobilized , only two dozen got to the front line in an assault squad, and he is one of them, he says in a year... his patriotism went nowhere but however, he turned to an organization that helps russians stay out of the war. i left because of the situation, because of the way the hostilities were conducted, first of all , because of what percentage of losses began to be allowed. if earlier during the assault

exit, when i went on my first exits, at least 20% always returned intact, at least , the last time... in 2023, russia lost one and a half times more military than in the first year of the full-scale invasion of ukraine. this conclusion was made by the bbc and mediana, who the dead were counted from open sources. they managed to establish the names of almost 40,000 soldiers killed at the front in the last two years. journalists checked cemeteries in 70 settlements in russia. they found the graves of these 40,000 and the same number of military burials. who was not mentioned in zma and social networks, but six months ago, six months ago , he changed his peaceful life to military service. according to the data of the ukrainian general staff for december 25. the losses of the russian army amounted to 354,000 people. in the american intelligence referred to reuters, the figure was 315,000 killed or wounded. the information resistance group

counted almost 39 thousand. sometimes we come across situations where there is a great destruction of some individual there, a separate unit from some one region, sometimes even from one city. and together... they were all destroyed, so the burial takes place together, a verified recording of 10-15 coffins is recorded during photo, video shooting in a local public, but in general we understand that a company is not 10 personnel, 15 personnel of military personnel or special forces, it is much more, it is almost 80, if in the format of equipment, it can be a cutoff. differ from verified information by two or three times, then in the case of human resources, it can be seven or more to 10 times different by an order of magnitude. regarding

official data from the russian side, the authorities of the russian federation do not report. in september, verstka published a tender for the procurement by the ministry of labor of 230,000 id cards for family members of deceased war veterans, which may indicate the approximate. who in the russian army replenish these losses? as our interlocutor, who escaped from rosarmia, tells us, i quote: the extreme mobilized survivors are supplemented mainly by contractors, however, there are many confirmations on the network and because covert mobilization in russia continues, it is not excluded, it is true that the authorities on... this in a different way, but, for example, these 11 people who received summonses together with their passports of the russian federation, it seems to me, do not look like volunteers. i voluntarily and

consciously accept russian citizenship and swear to abide by the constitution and legislation of russia. you need to arrive to district military commissariat for military registration? well, but the russian state, which is used to devouring everyone around it, if it gives something, it is used to taking... times more, it immediately presented them with a bill, like, come on, guys, you will rot in the trenches for us, but we will give you a passport for that, and you will have the opportunity , if you survive, if you hide later on shitty prostheses, well, you will have, say, not 18, but 12% taxes, well , that is, people just got caught here, because no one ruled them in the first place did not announce the game, the rules of the game as have always changed, because no one... initially announced the rules of the game, the rules of the game have always changed. raids of migrants who recently received russian citizenship, but did not

register for the military, are taking place all over russia, information about such raids appears almost every day in mobilization reports. well, we should not forget that on december 11, a law came into force, which... obliges a person who is banned from leaving the country for some reason to voluntarily hand over his foreign passport. this applies to both conscripts and the draft in one day, and the sending of students to the front, all this does not stop. well, who did not fall under the current scheme of mobilization, now it does not come to mind. well , pensioners, well, they don’t, probably, students of kindergartens, schools, and even schoolchildren in general already fall under this, so actually, if we return to the conversation about the general mobilization of such and such, the tools that are available now are quite enough, i don’t i see a situation in which the government will change its strategy,

there is no need to wait for mobilization, it is happening now, in fact, you have already watched enough it's been a long time, you get used to it, but some people are tired of getting used to it, more and more often the wives and relatives of last year's mobilized people are beginning to be indignant in public , and my husband... my husband returned from an assignment last night, and tomorrow morning the wounded, the lame, and the unable to walk are being sent back to the assignment, and there is nothing they can do and there is nothing we can do, please help us. research by the karengi center, together with the levada center on the life of russian society , shows how people's mood has fallen. because of the announcement of partial mobilization, and he really got worse. the authors of the study believe that the authorities do not openly announce mobilization in order to maintain the peace of russians. we, in turn, decided to ask

people on the streets ourselves. moscow, how do they feel about the increase of the army in the country and whether they are afraid of subpoenas, generally neutral, i can’t say for sure, they are ready to go to the front, i am not ready , i have more important tasks that need to be done, this should be handled by professionals, i don’t think so i consider myself a professional, i am a professional in another field. that's great, it's long overdue to do, because the situation allows, then... it forces me to do it, because i think it is necessary: ​​grandchildren, children, why not, what does it mean to send, what do you think, if you are afraid of death, it means to die, it is not necessary of course, everyone has their own fate, there are people who have gone through two or three wars, or maybe even more than their time, and remained alive. i consider it an honorable duty of every citizen to defend his homeland.

and if they call, well, that's another matter, nowadays it's difficult to speak correctly, it's even more difficult for muscovites, as it turned out, to answer questions about what acquaintances or relatives who are currently fighting tell them, i have an acquaintance, he returned, he was a volunteer, it is difficult there, of course, he returned, in general, he does not plan to go back, there of course, he returned in general, but not plans to go back.

different, not just there in this weather, to sit in a trench, not on camera, not on camera, and the last question for muscovites is whether russia is ready to continue the war, or as they say, according to the propaganda temniks, svo, there are a lot of resources, money, people, in general the country is rich, i think, capable of fighting,

if anything... the thing is, hating russians like that, i think it's wrong, we've never done anything bad to anyone. everything, what are there, what are the operations, peace, what are the operations, peace, love, respect. putin ordered to increase the army by 130,000 people even earlier in august of last year, but when recruitment did not produce the required number, it was necessary to take an unpopular step, mobilization. now the russian authorities have decided to act more cunningly. 70% of contractors are money.

70%, and these are mostly elderly people, and they are going to die for real, so i say no it is necessary, i.e. problems in the family, i don’t know , 45 years old, well, the house is falling apart, i don’t know , well, these are the situations, they go astray, and most often they are provincials, there moscow, peter there is no practical at all, moscow peter are mobilized, just guys who accidentally, or somehow got caught, or something else. at the disposal of the media are important stories, which i am talking about today. already mentioned, there was a letter with a mandate and a special form with 22 categories of the population whom the russian authorities want to send to the war with ukraine first of all, the officials responsible for recruitment have to report every week. 22 categories 22 categories are named 22 categories are named by officials who to contract, primarily prisoners of all kinds, and those who are under supervision and suspended sentences, and so on.
