launch cruise missiles on the territory of ukraine? well, getting a taurus with a maximum range is not the same as we were promised, in any case , with a reduced range, but with a maximum range, also atakms, it would be a good option in general, the latest models of atakms, they are also long-range. storm shadow is also an opportunity to increase the range, if we got such an opportunity, we could take out 90% of the russians. airfields, including all the way to the mozdok airfield, where mig 31s fly up all the time, although there are only two of them there, and through which we have transport, industry, and the whole country is on air alert mode, no, well, nothing works, well, that is, if this issue were resolved, if they finally gave a namj, untied their hands, let's be frank, untied their hands. with western weapons, then we could

bring down these airfields, because unfortunately, drones can hit area targets, unfortunately, we cannot, well, drones, they are controlled only by gps, as soon as they create an obstacle, in the area of, for example, an enemy airfield, drones can then drop just on his square, not specifically to hit specific planes, and missiles could do just that, because they have a passive system. to guidance, i.e. at the last moment they photograph the territory of this airfield, compare it with the reference images in their on-board computers, see the plane, compare that it is the plane itself and hit it directly, well, that's the difference if you put such a system on a drone, then it will not cost as much as a cruise missile, we must tell our tv viewers that mozdok is north ossetia. that is, they fly from the caucasus

31k migs that take to the skies and patrol the black sea, resulting in an air alert. on saturdays and sundays, they quite often use there at 11 or 12 o'clock, this time. according to ukrainian intelligence, mr. valery, the occupiers produce about 115-130 strategic missiles per month, and about the same number of operational missiles. tactical class such as kh-31 and kh-59, we hear and know that north korea is now helping with ballistic missiles, well, at least this is what experts, both foreign and the office, say prosecutor general has filed a case regarding the use of these missiles on the territory of the ukrainian state, which means that the russian federation... is not enough for the missiles

that they use against ukraine and they take from north korea, or they test these missiles here and in north korea they report on what are the test results, how would you explain, the amount they're producing, the amount they 're launching at us, and the amount they can use from north korea? well, please don't be afraid. everyone about this the number of strategic missiles is 130. the russians are able to release, according to gur, 118, well , these are october data, even less, 116, missiles, of all types, of all types, this includes the kh101, and iskander, and dagger, and there kalibr , in general, all types of missiles with such a long range , say, more than 500 km, so ah... and this is the usual

pace, and this year, again in this year, in the 23rd year, this pace fell, because, for example, in august it was said that they were capable of producing as many as six daggers, in october they produced only four, and in general, if compared with airplanes, then if the number of planes decreases, then the production of missiles, accordingly, the production of planes decreases, then, accordingly, the production of missiles does not increase either. in any case, because they need approximately the same components, the same microcircuits, the same memory blocks, the same valve matrices and similar equipment, similar electronic components, of course, under these conditions, russia begins to beg and look for to take them, they turn to such powerful missile countries and aerospace countries as iran, like roosters...

night korea and indeed, according to the information, there is already factual confirmation, only legal confirmation is needed that north korea has already provided its missiles there. kn-23 missile, and the russians have already launched them on our territory, but so far these launches are single, so you are absolutely right if you say that so far this is just a test in combat conditions. mr. valery, well, quite often during the last week, our leaders, military leaders, and the political leadership of the state talk about reb systems, about radioelectronics. struggle and we don't know in fact, are there many of these reb systems in ukraine or not, but just a few days ago, when i was looking at the statistics for the mass shelling, the mass shelling of ukraine on

the night of january 13, i noticed that there were 20 missiles that were not shot down , but they didn’t fly anywhere either, that is, does this mean that in ukraine there is... a new reb system appears that allows you to land these missiles, that is, not to use air defense, but by simply suppressing the signal or in some other way simply to put these missiles somewhere in the field on the border between ukraine and russia, well, look, if you put most missiles, especially korean missiles, they are guided by gps. in any case, they use satellite systems most of the way. korean missiles use three satellite systems, they are russian glonass, ah, russian glonass, chinese beidu and american gps.

russian rockets also use the european galileo system. that is, if you put obstacles to these systems. signal, it means to change these signals a little, then the missiles will be deflected and they will not necessarily fall into those, well, into that passive the system that they have on board, which does not depend on gps, the deviations can be so great that they will no longer be able to return to the trajectory, to the correct trajectory, this option is possible to set obstacles, maybe we got some systems that allow you to intervene behind ... into the navigation system or the communication system of these missiles, well, because some of the most advanced missiles can be retargeted directly in the air, and from the same ones, well, probably from 50 or so satellite systems, but you can retarget , ah,

in general, i think that the grouping of the means of reb in our country has not so much increased as, well, it has increased by itself, but the density... their location and power have increased, because now this rep has already become, well, it can be seen that it became effective, although earlier there were also cases when missiles fell anywhere, but this time the spokesman of the air force said that the missiles generally fell somewhere in the fields, in the forests, that is, really in their navigation system, in their routes some corrections were made. not provided for by who launched them, well, you can see that in each, in each protocol of the transfer of some weapons to us from the united states or germany, the equipment of the reb is present, one way or

another under this, under this and that or another position, there, for example, there is equipment for anti-aircraft defense, it is supplied and apparently it has achieved. of such density and such efficiency that now we can no longer waste missiles on knocking down russian means of destruction, especially this is effective against the shaheds. thank you, mr. valery, for the conversation, it was valery romanenko, aviation expert, leading researcher of the state aviation museum. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. if you watch us live on youtube and facebook, bet. please like it, do n't be stingy in order for our broadcast to be promoted in youtube trends, and subscribe to our pages, take part in our poll, today we ask you about whether the world is ready to end putin, eh, what do you think about it, dear friends, yes, no, on

everything is quite simple on youtube, or if you have an opinion, then please write in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think... that the world is ready to end putin 0800 211 381 no 0800 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free call at the end. program , we will sum up the results of this vote. next , we are in touch with volodymyr yelchenko, diplomat, former representative of ukraine at the un and former ambassador of ukraine to the united states states of america. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and i am glad that you are with us today. good evening, i am also glad to be with you today. mr. volodymyr, today was a busy day in the ukrainian delegation at the world economic forum in davos, where volodymyr zelensky spoke. spoke about putin , said that putin is a predator who will not

be satisfied with frozen food, he means a frozen conflict, which is what most of zelensky's interlocutors there, as i understand it, operate with this concept, that it is necessary to agree on something, in some kind of conflict in to translate something into a new field, perhaps into the field of a frozen conflict, and of course the most important thing is that... zelenskyy spoke at the forum in davos about the need for a peace formula, a global summit is needed, and this formula needs to be discussed, whether it is already obvious, do you think, for the majority of participants, including this forum in davos, that the formula for peace, it affects not only ukraine, and that putin is a global problem, that it is not a problem of er... ukraine or the baltic countries or poland, and putin is a global one

a problem that must be fought and fought by destroying putin's regime, by destroying putin's russia? i think that this understanding is constantly growing, but it is still not enough. why, because there is a so-called global south, not so many countries, well , this region, this global south are represented. not at the dovodsk forum , but nevertheless there are quite a few of them there, and we have not reached them yet, that is, we do not see such a universal, let’s say, solidarity with russia, excuse me with ukraine , from the countries of the global south, some of them changed their neutral position, well, since the beginning of large-scale aggression. more or less in favor of ukraine, but mainly most of these

countries, it takes such a positive , neutral position, that is, it sympathizes with ukraine, or they are these countries, i mean, but nevertheless, they have not yet agreed to our proposals and are not ready, as it seems to me, to take such a really active part in the negotiations regarding what will happen after the victory of ukraine, here we are talking about its various conditions, various reasons, some countries believe that ukraine should still cede part our sovereignty, and it is by no means clear to us and our partners, that is , to summarize, i will say that among our partners, i think that there is already universal support, there is nowhere to increase it, except in the direction of... even more military aid and financial aid, this is being done today,

our diplomacy and the leadership of our state are working on this, but we still need to work with the countries of the global south, i hope that the dovoz forum and the meetings that have already been and will be held mother our president, ee u within the framework of this forum, i would like there to be as many contacts as possible with the countries of the same global south. we need to explain to them, we need to work hard with them and seek from them, if not full support for our position, then at least an understanding of our position and a willingness to support us at future forums, whether it will be something like a forum where it will be negotiated peace formula, we know that the swiss have offered their territory. for the future of such a unique summit, at one time they talked about such a summit in the fields

of the un general assembly, i don't know if this idea is still alive, in any case, one way or another , such a forum should take place, if not tomorrow, not in a week, then in a certain time, and here we will need the support of precisely those countries, ee global cock, which we still lack today. mr. volodymy. during his visit to switzerland, president zelenskyi hinted that russia will not be invited to this global peace summit, noting that kyiv prefers to see all states at the upcoming conference. which respect sovereignty and territorial the integrity of ukraine. today, vladimir putin also commented on the peace formula from ukraine and spoke about why it cannot be implemented and why russia does not treat this formula in a special way. let's listen to what putin said.

trying to force us to abandon the gains we have made over the past year and a half is... impossible, everyone understands that it is impossible, and they, the ruling circles in ukraine, understand, and the western elites understand, just these so-called peace formulas, which are being talked about in the west and in ukraine, this is a continuation implementation of the decree of the president of ukraine prohibiting negotiations with russia, this is what it is, these are prohibitive requirements for the negotiation process. mr. volodymyr, it is clear that putin does not know that there are no presidential decrees... there were once decrees of the prime minister of ukraine kuchma, and there have been no decrees in ukraine for a long time, no one issues them, but less so, putin said about that , that it is impossible to give up what russia already has, he cannot give up that, and everyone understands that, i understand that putin is talking about what

ukraine must make territorial concessions , or accept... as they say quite often, a new territorial reality, and say that the world understands this, or whether a part of the world understands, as you think, for most countries in the world, what putin occupied and annexed ukrainian territory, is this an answer to the fact that there will be no negotiations and putin will never cede these territories. it will be impossible to smoke it from there, you know, this is exactly the root of the problem, that is why russia is not invited to the talks, that is why which is not clear, what the subject of these negotiations should be, because we heard what putin said now, he said it, he said it before, but if we recall one of the last

resolutions of the un general assembly, which received, if... 143 votes, which directly stated the inadmissibility of russia's aggression against ukraine, where it was said that russia is the aggressor, and where it was said that at least the countries that supported this resolution absolutely do not accept the so-called territorial conquests of russia , about that putin says, that is, the realities that he talks about, i think that they only exist. in a fictional form in his head and in the head, let's say so, of the russian establishment, er, well, the vast majority of countries in the world, i will say that almost all of them, except for those five or seven who support russia, i will not list them, so they are known to everyone, everyone else does not accept it, will never agree to it, and

that is why the question arises of what and with whom to talk at such... negotiations, if russia is invited there, so until the russian leadership will not change this position, i think that it will be able to change this position only after certain turning points on the front, that is, now, as i have already said many times, including on your broadcasts, the main interlocutor from the ukrainian side is the armed forces of ukraine, when we will have certain... successes, when the russian leadership will finally understand that this war is leading to a complete dead end and no way out, and none of the goals that russia has set for itself will be achieved, then it will be possible to talk about something with to speak with them, and i'm not sure what to do with them people will still be able to talk about something, but

we will live, we will see, maybe the situation will change and we will have other people. on the part of the russian federation, with whom it will be possible to not just talk about anything, but with the understanding that we can reach agreements that will then be implemented by this country or its future leadership, because today all those agreements that were reached with the russian federation until today, including ukraine, i mean the agreement of 1997, and... violation of the un charter and the principle of the osce and a lot of other things, all this remained only on paper, russia never fulfills the obligations it undertakes, and this applies not only to... ukraine, but also to many, many other issues. mr. volodymyr, the former president of the united states of america, donald trump, after winning the republican primary, promised

to resolve the situation with the war in ukraine very quickly. let's hear what trump said. i know president putin very well, i know zelenskyi very well. i can attract him. we will solve it very quickly. this war never had to happen. putin and i get along great, we get along very well, which is good, but not bad. if fake news became real and honest news, 90% of our problems in this country would be solved. the situation with ukraine is so terrible and we are going to solve it, we are going to solve it very quickly. mr. vladimir , well, given that trump could become the next president of the united states of america, and the fact that... he says that we will decide very quickly, i know putin very well and we get along very well, in which way trump, on your opinion, can solve the issue of the future

of ukraine and the issue of ending russia's war against ukraine? we can't hear you, unfortunately, we've lost the sound, and now yes, yes, yes, well, it remains a huge, mystery, mystery to me, because... i 'll tell you honestly, i can't understand, understand, what mr. trump means, and i don't think what he's saying right now is, well, some real reality, not his complete detachment from the reality that he'll face if he's elected president of the united states of america , because one thing is that, that his rhetoric on the campaign trail , he's saying what his electorate wants to hear, it's another thing what he 's going to have to do if and when he becomes president of the united states of america, again, and this is where i think his rhetoric is changing, we

've heard statements like that from president trump back when he was president, in the past, i've heard those statements back when i was working in washington, but the thing is, when these issues were discussed on a serious level...you know, on such an informal level, even, i would said, the tone was very different from what we heard from him during such emotional statements, he likes it, he is an unsystematic politician, this is exactly what he works on, and on this, let's say, his success is based, so what do you know, people hear such unexpected things from him that no one expected. no one expected, they think that there is truth in this, there is some reality in this, but in fact the reality is very different from what we

hear today from mr. trump as a candidate, well not yet candidate, but possibly a future candidate for the presidency of the united states, so i repeat once again that you should pay attention not to his rhetoric today, but to the actions he will take. in reality, if he becomes the next president of the united states of america, i think it will be, well, a completely different person, and we will see completely different steps from him than, than what we hear from him today. mr. volodymyr, germany, the baltic countries and poland are already publicly and openly talking about a possible war with russia in 3-5 years in your opinion, is it possible to develop such a scenario, i understand that it is probably very difficult for russia to predict and understand what putin wants, but still, can putin go to

raise rates and encroach there not, say, the baltic countries, or show force in the kaliningrad region, especially since there are russian military bases there, and it is obvious. putin will probably have such a temptation, you know, after all that we have seen in the last two years in ukraine, after the start of russia's full-scale aggression, i am not ruling anything out, although in fact, i think that everything is not so simple, everything is not so clear, one thing is to write tweets, as mr. medvedev does, or to make statements about nuclear weapons. well, with the use of nuclear weapons in case of any danger to the russian federation there, but apart from such statements, we have not yet seen

any practical... let's say steps that confirmed that behind these statements there is, well , some serious intention, but on the other hand, i will repeat once again that i do not rule out any steps on the part of the leadership of the russian federation, since the further they are, well, let's put it this way, getting involved in this conflict in this war with ukraine, the more they will feel hopeless and the more possible... they will be tempted to take some such steps that, in their opinion , will allow them to somehow get out of this dead ends, so i do not exclude certain aggressive actions against other countries, it is poland, it is the baltic countries, as you said, today russia basically uses any unrest, any part of the world, we see it today in the gas sector, in the same yemen, in the red

sea. the situation around taiwan, i mean north korea and russia's support for it and so on, we see that russia will continue to use any opportunity to divert attention, on the one hand, from the war that they envisioned against ukraine, and on the other hand, to divert western countries , first of all, the united states of america, from the help that... today these countries provide to our state, well, that is , putin's task is not to lose to ukraine, and if he does lose, then to the north atlantic alliance, just like that, well, another, another option cannot to be, well, judging by the events that have taken place and from putin's articulated position, which he constantly says that we are at war with the entire north atlantic bloc, with the entire west, with

nato, the united states. america and of course he needs some victories or defeats, beautiful defeats, he can end the so-called special military operation at any moment. very briefly, how likely is it that putin will curl up and say that the goals of the special military operation have been met, and we will fixate on what is now and nothing else we will do, that's all ours. well, you know, me. today it is difficult to imagine it, although, on the other hand, given the impasse in which putin and the russian army have already found themselves in ukraine, and i do not see any prospects for their advancement, well, at least on the territory of ukraine, if it will be a protracted war, and that everything will continue in the future, then of course we will have to look for some way out, and then he can resort to saying that that's

it, let's put an end to it. but what will follow will be what we talked about a little earlier, that is, the realities on earth that he is talking about constantly says that let 's stop now, and ukraine should deal with the fact that there is no longer 20% of ukrainian territory, that this territory is in the russian federation, and we will continue to get out of this, and ukraine and ukrainian society will never agree to this, thank you sir volodymyr, it was volodymyr yelchenko, diplomat, former representative of ukraine at the organization. united nations. friends, during our broadcast, we conducted a survey, we asked you about this and we ask whether the world is ready to end putin. 33% yes, 67% - no, these are the results television survey. we will then continue broadcasting after the bbc news broadcast. in 15 minutes we will return to the verdict studio. people's deputies of ukraine rostyslav pavlenko, yaroslav yurchyshyn and vadym hlaychuk will be our guests. don't switch, see you in 15 minutes.

trump's first victory on the road to the us presidential election, he strengthens his position as the likely challenger to biden. let's talk about the results of the republican caucuses in iowa on bbc broadcast ukraine will make money from london, i'm evgenia shedlovska trump's victory in iowa was expected and actually sets the tone for his election campaign. spectators say that his chances of winning in this election are greater than in the previous ones, but who can compete with him in his own party.
