joins our ether, join also with a penny, this is a good investment in safety, in our victory, and in principle in the future, we will remind you about this, but we continue, already reminding, already reminding, because time is running out and it is necessary to inform. so, for the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of kholodny yar, we now have a collection of 5 million hryvnias, which is a lot, but it is not such an unaffordable amount, in fact. qr-codes, card numbers, which bank is more convenient for whom, choose and please donate. remember, you buy coffee, 50 uah for coffee, the same amount to one of these accounts, you go for pizza, the same amount for pizza and the same amount... please, to an account like mine, there will be quite fair, because in fact

the cost of our opportunity to go for coffee, to go somewhere else, and just to finally walk calmly and go to bed in the evening, is much, much higher than the 50 or 100 hryvnias that we donate, we, we meanwhile we continue to collect the intelligent opinions of our experts, for you, so that you draw your own conclusions and an expert is in touch with us. taras zhovtenko of international security of the deminitiative foundation. mr. taras, i am glad to welcome you. glory to ukraine. thanks to our heroes. glory. there are many things we want to ask you about ukraine and nato, but the first, such a fundamental question, i wanted to know from you. some of the people who have read the 10 points of the ukrainian formula of peace say that it is possible, there is such a thing, a thing that has. just to carry out a cunning information exchange and

multiply euro-atlantic integration, enshrined in the constitution of ukraine, by zero, to replace nato, because nato is not even mentioned in any of those security formulas, and what is your opinion about those 10 points that are used in davos? well, there are actually two points here: any 10 points, no matter where they are fixed, they still have no less legal force for us than what is written in the constitution, that is, in principle, you can travel with different lists from different points, yes, but well, first of all, we must focus on what is written in the constitution, well, at least in the version in which we have it now, and it is obvious that in the near future neither the political nor the security conditions, they will contribute to what if some of these norms of the constitution, which are related to the euro-atlantic integration. of ukraine will be changed, and the second point, which is also really important here, is that we

have very clearly agreed with our western partners, at least with the g7 countries, with whom we are now gradually signing all agreements on security guarantees, that these security guarantees will be provided to ukraine only for as long as ukraine, let's say, officially formalizes its membership in nato, that is, in fact, neither we, nor even more so our western allies, are oriented to the fact that these security guarantees, they will be indefinitely, everyone perfectly understands that in these security conditions, yes, when the russian federation, now conducting... no combat operations against ukraine and strategically announcing that, first of all, it will not stop at ukraine, and secondly, even if ukraine, with the help of its western allies, is able to throw russian troops out of its borders, well, russia still leaves the continuation of this aggression against ukraine as its strategic priority, but it will only be delayed in time, under such conditions, our

western allies perfectly understand what's up much more effective and much cheaper actually than. to protect ukraine when it will be in the alliance with the 31st country, yes, well , in fact, we already count sweden there, yes, and the resources of the 31st country will support our state and protect it from russian aggression, or rather, everything - only seven countries will, as they say, carry this burden and, accordingly, rely only on these security treaties, which are actually just a formalization of what these countries are. the big seven are allocated to us along the ramstein line, that is, in fact, none yet there are no contradictions, if, of course, no such serious additional steps will be taken to change the constitution, then in fact there are no contradictions here, the only thing is, here we must understand that we must move towards the alliance as soon as possible. mr. taras, boris pistorius says that he believes that

he trusts those experts who say that in 5-8 years a war between russia and nato is quite likely, they say that it is necessary... that, well, germany in particular should be constantly prepared that russia might attack, and again we have another assurance of nato's assistant gentsek for political issues and security policy, boris ruge, said that the alliance is ready. on the other hand, we see that the alliance has only now started to build up, after the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, it started to build up some new capacities of its own, more production from the military-industrial complex, on the other hand, all this is going on in russia. hands, and now it is also increasing, how do you assess the possibilities, in the event of a conflict, in the event of a war between russia and nato, the possibilities of nato itself? well, let's start with mr. pistoriyus, in fact, the minister of defense of the federation of the republic of germany, well, in this statement he made an assessment of nato's capabilities,

first of all, relying on the potential that the federal republic of germany itself now has, so it is clear that... well, even though the germans were and remain one of the richest countries of the european union, but at the same time, well, the state of their army left much to be desired until 2014, yes, that is , it is clear that in this context, in the context of its own defense capability and, accordingly, the contribution that berlin can add as added value to collective security system, here the germans actually still have a long time to work, if we talk about the statements of nato officials about... that the alliance, well, has a certain level of readiness to resist russian aggression, well, it is clear that there is no maximum readiness, that was announced at last year's summer summit in vilnius, and before this maximum readiness, well, the alliance still needs at least 2-2 years, but if you evaluate the russian threat by the standards in which it

was, so to speak, by the parameters in which it was apparently at the beginning of full-scale the invasion of ukraine on february 24, 2022 and , accordingly, to measure these parameters of the russian threat and the russian military contingent for its technical support , etc. in principle, they are enough to at least slow down russian russian aggression, and the russian attack on nato member countries, that is, well... from this point of view, there is of course a certain level of readiness, but it is clear that, for example, in the spring this year there are planned exercises, well february even so, the planned steadfast defender 24 exercises, which will involve up to 90,00 military personnel of nato member countries, these will be the first since the 80s in fact, and large-scale alliance exercises that are aimed at a very, very clear scenario , to repel

armed aggression from russia, from the russian army, and actually these exercises in... they, too, to a certain extent, their result will be an indicator of nato's readiness to really repel, and whether to stop russian aggression, well, of course, that according to the results certain conclusions will be drawn from these exercises, which will already be reflected in the results of the washington summit, which will be held in april this year, this is the anniversary summit, in fact, and i think that there will be, well, quite serious, quite serious strategic decisions will be made, which are related with nato's future readiness to confront the russian threat not only in format. reflection of this threat, but also in the format of a certain deterrence, and by both conventional forces and the nuclear potential of nato as well. mr. taras, you yourself noted that this is actually the first time with such a number. nato training will be conducted for the battalion. usually, we have seen working out coordination there, for example, at sea, in the air, in certain, only individual

episodes, in this case, these serious exercises of nato countries and armies coincide with the amount of informational dumping of various scenarios. some of them are downplayed, because they are made public through the so-called tabloids, well , accordingly. attitude, well, what do you want, well, the tabloid heard something, imagined something somewhere, the rest made up their minds, imagined, took the script from netflix has a bit of the norwegian tv series occupied, a bit of hollywood, and here is a scary story for you, but in reality, is nato working out real scenarios that have already been worked out by the russian general staff, that is, these stories, for example, with the protection of the russian 40% of latvia more than once already. voiced, they have already talked more than once about köninsberg, i.e. kaliningrad, and how they could play this card of the enclave, and up to and including poland, and

at this stage, in terms of information , russia itself supports these scenarios by constantly pumping up the viewers of its federal channels . which of these scenarios do you think will form the basis of these exercises, that is? the baltic, polish, scandinavian, what is the scenario? and i think that, well, if we talk about these specific exercises, then they will be based on the scenario that is most relevant at the moment, yes , well, since the russians have intensified their rhetoric against the northern european countries, so first of all it is finland, this is sweden, and it is obvious that the scenario of an aggravation of the situation in the baltic sea will be considered. so in connection with these things, i think that well the simultaneous implementation of several scenarios will be considered, in fact, with the main emphasis on the northern security

of the northern european flank of nato, since everyone perfectly understands that, well, in fact, russia will act in its classic hybrid strategy, yes, that is, creating, well , if the main military threat in one direction, it will try to act in several directions in parallel, because, well , to this northern european... vector , an eastern european one is also added, because in parallel with these russian threats finland and sweden, so we heard that , for example, lukashenko's belarus included, or will include, yes, so far we do not have these texts, so officially published, the use of nuclear weapons belonging to russia, which is located on the territory of the republic of belarus , but the belarusian government includes the so-called russian nuclear weapons in its military doctrines. it is obvious that... it is being done in order to, well, conditionally speaking, keep nato in tension and the eastern european flank. i think that the alliance will work out comprehensively a scenario that will be associated with countering

conventional russian forces, with countering russian nuclear blackmail with the containment of this blackmail, and in parallel moments will be worked out that will be associated with hybrid threats, because we understand very well that even this war, which russia is waging against us now, yes, even though we see it. hot facade on the battlefield, but nevertheless we feel its hybrid components almost every day, and we also understand that russia will not abandon them in its aggression against ukraine, and even more so to make the main emphasis on this in its possible aggression against nato. well, in fact, its individual components, which we have already seen in previous military exercises, both at the level of the alliance and at the level of individual member states, how nato worked out these elements of deterrence and countermeasures against russia. because the poles conducted exercises last year, which were connected with kaliningrad, yes, with königsberg, with the military situation, there, as a result of these exercises, the poles increased

the military contingent in the north of poland, similarly, last year we saw the military nuclear deterrence training at the level of the alliance, in general, three such trainings were also held, and there was an enchanting reaction to the swamps, when the american b-52 bombers went to the... northern europe, just above the baltic sea, on the course of the launch of the winged missiles along the petersburg line and further there in order to destroy the nuclear potential of russia in its northern regions, that is, in fact, we see that now these exercises logically complement all the efforts that nato made in order to develop other tools, so , i.e obviously, now the main emphasis will be on the possibility of large-scale deployment of allied forces, because you... are absolutely right about the fact that until this moment nato operated with much smaller numbers and much more modest military units, now they have to learn

to operate with dozens. we have very little time, but there is one more very interesting case. very, by the way, i would also add to those possible scenarios that you said that these trainings are probably not for nothing, there is preliminary information that they may be somewhere on north of norway, lithuania and hungary may also be involved, but we are talking about these northern territories, which are also not far from the russian border. and our next question is actually about rebbe, we read someone, we write. someone, we read, the russians are causing gps malfunctions in poland, in the baltic countries, and in sweden too, well, well, it ’s also the baltic sea nearby, as you think, they are provoking now they are ready and have taken a step forward, that is, they already at the next stage of preparation for this conflict, this one war with nato, what is this, and nato, as it considers it, actually they consider it as a certain attack on nato territory, because in addition. it is very interesting

that our neighbors, the poles , were sometimes driven away by these mass media, which had russian influence, or russian narratives, they first began to throw in the information that gps does not work in poland, in the north of poland, due to the fact that some exercises are going on nato, but that’s what they criticized, later they simply understood that the russians were working as slaves from the kaliningrad region, so it was aggression against nato countries, or it is not considered from that angle, well... unfortunately, the alliance does not consider it from that angle, because the fifth article of the washington treaty, it was first written in 1949 and it was written under completely different conditions and under completely different understanding of the armed aggression of a third country , therefore, unfortunately, until russian tanks cross the borders of a nato member state, and until this aggression is as obvious as possible and it is clear that this will be a decision made and approved by the highest military and political leadership of the russian federation, well the fifth

the article should... will have certain difficulties for activation, if we talk about what the russians are doing with the rebs on the northern and eastern flanks of nato, well, it is obvious, on the one hand, this is an additional test of the russian rebs in how they will work in principle , on the territory of nato member countries, which russia is disputing as potential targets, on the other hand, i think that this is also a test of whether the russians will be able to try to interfere with the alliance about... pass these exercises, that is, whether the russian rep. is ready turn on, for example, at the right moment, when the phase of these will be active nato exercises, and what effect will this have on these exercises, that is, the american and other nato soldiers will be confused, so when they suddenly have gps connected, they will not be able to coordinate their actions as they are used to doing it, or for example the means countermeasures that nato will also deploy, because

obviously this will be it. as part of the scenario, the means of countering the enemy reb will simply silence the russian rebs, and even then the russians will conclude for themselves that they need to tweak and improve something there, i.e. in fact it an element of preparation for a possible provocation by the russians, well, not with regard to, not even with regard to the disruption of these nato exercises, but with regard to hindering them, let's say, and at the same time testing our electronic warfare systems to see if they will be effective, of course, mr. taras, thank you for the analysis situation, taras zhovtenko, expert on international security fund dem initiative, meanwhile, we monitor that 15 muslims in bashkastan came out again despite the frost, they are beaten again, they dance, they dance, they warm themselves, they support them, and in general, this it is nice to read that it is already openly said in the enemy's territory that the security forces are afraid that the bashkirs and in general all the turks in russia want

to separate and create a big turan. and the great news, more schmaltz, more heat and on the palm, a short pause after which we will involve the reserve general and the former deputy head of the sbu to talk about quite high-profile things that are happening in the country, which were reacted to today with an even more high-profile devastating article by the financial times, but we will talk about this in a few minutes. there are discounts on amicitron 20% in pharmacies psyllium, pam and oskad. do ordinary things become unreal? heavy bags are not for my sore back, for back pain, try dolgit cream. long-acting cream relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. with the cream dolgit, whatever you want, i will lift. dolgiit is the only yellow cream for joint and back pain. buy at a discount.
