first of all, you just got to the point where everyone is discussing the resignation, the probable resignation of valery zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. several sources of information appeared, which began to be distributed about an hour ago in both telegram channels and social networks. ukrainian pravda writes. with reference to his sources in the national security council, that the president's office is considering the resignation of the industrious man, but there is no order, that he was allegedly offered to go somewhere as an ambassador, but he refused, at the moment there is no kazu, and the ministry of defense wrote: no, this is not true, you, me i think, as a person who knows everything, you can either confirm or deny this information to us, well, you are a person who knows everything, no one doesn't know everything all the more so when such - let's say, decisions are made, they

are made at the level of, let's say this, several people, i think, first of all, the president, and therefore there is no 100% information now, there are many rumors, and the ministry of defense gives an unclear answer, and this it would also be a signal if they answered 100% that what was expected of them, that no one there had taken any action, it would be possible to believe what they write, well, they are already playing with the people, this is such a story , you know, not very ugly , this, this message that they - sent that is it about yes or no, let's wait for the decree, if there is a decree, then we will already understand that 100%, whether such negotiations are going on, whether it is possible, well , you and i have already heard more than once that the president wants to do it, we understand and heard what candidacies were also considered there , including, let's say, the discrediting was

organized recently, including on merit, that's why i think, we'll find out... how it will all be there in an hour, or maybe sooner, mr. colonel, i will formulate the question in a slightly different way: does the diligent deserve to remove him from the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine? well, i will tell you my subjective point of view, we communicate at the committee and he came to us recently, look, we are where we are now, we have not lost the country, we have become defensive against one of the... strongest armies of the world, we won back part of kherson region, kharkiv region and we continue the struggle, because at the beginning we had, let's say, russia had much superior enemy forces and that's why my assessment is that he is in his place, well, by the way, among the information that has been published in the last hour, because i

have been following it closely enough, a possible successor has been named. e.e. , kyril budanov, who is in the position of the head of the commissar, and i, too, i think that in this situation it is unlikely that someone would start playing with names and surnames in this story, because this name was written by two famous ukrainian journalists, they mentioned about the fact that budano will be the new head of the armed forces of ukraine. if this happens, then whether it is under budanov's position in general and whether it is budanov. a narrow-profile specialist, you know for sure, because you serve or have served in the sbu, he is in gura, but in any case, well, there is, there is some, there are some possibilities of a person and there is knowledge that he can use, i understand, maybe i do not put you in a convenient position as a colonel, but in this case i am

interested in the opinion, to what extent budano can be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces? yes, i would not comment on it there until some appointment there to say whether he will be bad or whether budanov will be good and bad in the position of commander-in-chief or whether he is only on intelligence, i'll just say that i've known budanov for a long time, we studied together, he was my junior in the same company, it was the first aeromobile company of the combined forces aeromobile faculty, now the airborne assault faculty in odesa, so we 've known each other for a long time one thing that concerns him as a person, well, he is a special forces officer, he commanded a special forces group, at one time, and after that he became the head of intelligence in the troops, well , he did not manage combat units in the armed forces, so

let's say here, here the question will be directly the appointment of the president, there is the vision of the president, he... let's say a good general has proven himself in the armed forces, well , let's see, let's see what decision will be made regarding a specific position there, whether he will be good or bad there, what skills he has there, we know one thing that he has never been in the armed forces, never, we will see what decision will be made and then we will evaluate, why talk now, if he has not been assigned anywhere, that is , i understand correctly that you are diligent and. .. budanov, well, they are arrested, they finished alone yes, that's right. thank you, mr. colonel, once upon a time, i was there once, then i was a battalion commander, i was a cadet, he was a battalion commander in the combined military. let's return to the situation at the front, because one way or another the situation at the front depends on the help of the united states of america, on the help of the west, as it looks

now on the eastern and southern fronts, taking into account the fact that in... the united states of america will not reach that point , when it is necessary to vote for 61 billion dollars of aid to ukraine, and whether or not this backlash is for of the armed forces of ukraine, which we can still endure, because i understand that biden is meeting with scholz precisely so that scholz has already reassured the americans about providing military aid to ukraine, because... that both scholz and biden, they are convinced, that ukraine should win this war. well , with regard to the situation at the front, we see what is happening, that here in the south at... in principle, the situation is more controlled, yes , of course, the hottest place, precisely where there are skirmishes and where there are direct clashes, of course, bridgeheads on the left bank of the dnieper,

as a rule, they are provided with the help of artillery, and let's say drones that cover our fighters, the biggest problem is, of course, evacuation, deliveries, that is , you can talk about it separately, what is there, every day can be described separately in a book, how it happens from the delivery of reserves there , to, let's say, the evacuation of the wounded and provisions there, and everything from, starting from the old grandfather's methods to modern technologies , everything is used in order for the guys to have as much as possible on the bridgehead, that's what artillery also supports, but of course, high-precision weapons still play a key role here, what concerns... there is a difficult situation, we know near avdiivka in another direction, the enemy is pressing, and there of course, well, probably on the entire

line the front, the river is just not right here , you can feel it, but on the whole line there is a lack of ammunition, especially mortar mines there, including 120 mm, despite the fact that we say that we have already fixed them there, but the problems are still the same there are and they need to be... solved, well, all of them other types of projectiles, we understand that this war is a war of high-precision weapons, and we must do everything so that there is no discharge on one target, do not throw 10-15 projectiles there, so that it hits one, and then there will be a result. information has appeared, colonel, from the office of the president of ukraine, president zelenskyi's press secretary, serhiy nekiforov, in a comment to ukrainian pravda, stated that zelenskyi did not fire the chief... commander of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, when asked whether the president had fired zuluzhnogo's press secretary answered definitely no. well, we will see, because the information is being updated, they

say that there will be an update of the information, we are following these events, well, in the meantime, david arahamiya, the leader of the parliamentary faction of the servant of the people, i have this impression, maybe, maybe with such a throw-in, maybe they want to divert attention from something, let's see, no, well, they could just protest, how how... people will react, that too, and they protested very well, because i have a red phone, everyone is writing to me, you know, you know something, don't you, and everyone is silent, and when you write, the most important thing is that in such a situation, when you write to high-ranking officials, they are so constantly in touch and answer, here they probably even connected the phones, because even if i see that no e-mail messages are received, they probably do not want to answer, well, this indicates that that you said that several people in the state make decisions, and the decision obviously depends on these two or three people. only they know this, but this situation of dismissal, not dismissal, is very similar to the times of kuchma, because when i was a journalist,

information constantly appeared, well, then the internet was not like that widespread telegram channels, but this is how oleksandr omelchenko was fired there, no, he was not fired, there were 10 already performing duties , it was announced that there instead of omelchenko, no-no-no, omelchenko is like that, the head of the kyiv city administration, well, that is, here and there the hardware is as follows. things have happened before, i want to ask you about david arahami and his statement that it is necessary to talk to people about the losses in the war, he really said nonsense, in my opinion, that these losses are not so high, i think that this does not describe david well as a leader monomajority in the verkhovna rada, because no matter how many, no matter how many these losses , these are human lives, these are... families, these are parents, these are sons, these are those who, whom we lost in this war, but he says about that it is necessary to make public the figure of losses,

that is what the publication of these losses can lead to and whether it should be done, what do you think, well look, we have to talk, yes, as a politician and davit, as a politician, just what do you want from we and from him first of all to hear, if moral. point of view, i agree with you here that yes, every life at war - this is of course a loss for ukraine and usually the best. from the point of view, when we talk , we put all emotions in parentheses, let's say, and talk specifically about losses, as a military component and a component of the fact that we need mobilization there, we need staffing, here you can evaluate from the point of view of of the great conflict, which is also a relationship. there are irreversible losses that can return, and on the basis of this we can already evaluate, let's say, the course of the war itself, and

directly we have to... evaluate, what kind of reinforcements do we need there, that's why i think that he meant precisely the military point of view when he said, of course, well, when you say it on the air, you have to take into account that you politicians will quote you, so of course, and we with you, when you ask me such a question, the question of loss, i have to evaluate from a military point of view and say why should they be made public, but i think that... for the fact that in our society somewhere in the head is quite strong overestimates the real losses, which, well, which are real in our country, that's why he probably says that they need to be voiced, why, because when we talk about mobilization there now, many of those who listen to this, they think, when...

for example, the president says, there 500,000 is needed, everyone thinks that it is probably irreversible losses, 500,000, but it is not like that, realistically, that is why people here think that these are such losses in our country, and david knows what kind of losses really, maybe he understands , that if you say that, then people will begin to perceive their stay there in the armed forces in a different way, i think that is the answer, sir colonel, over the past few days , zelenskyi's interviews with the ard have been very... powerfully accelerated, where he talked about the fact that our army is now 800,000 people, and in principle, well, almost up to a million, he said, and said that in in principle, we have the most powerful army, and then a completely logical question arises, but for some reason he does not continue this logical series that the 500,000 who want to be recruited into the armed forces must be

recruited within a year. or two there in order to change those who are already at the front, this is the story with the mobilization law, in general, the issue of mobilization was and remains a problem, well, the number one issue that is being discussed in society is whether there will be an answer to the question of what the mobilization will be, when it will be, how many people will be drafted there, whether we will receive it already next week, because on february 6 it was announced consideration of another law. project from the government in the council, eh, you know, in our country , everyone always criticizes immediately, immediately when someone says the word mobilization on the air, you support it, you don't support it, no one listens, you are immediately told that your parents are there too go there, your children there, everyone and you go there, therefore, immediately understanding what emotions will be there, i answer that according to my information

the draft law should be submitted in the near future. but to what extent everything is changing, you know, here is the information today that there at the committee, including we talked about it, that the nearest time should be in order to vote, there are all different versions given, some say for the basis, some say as a basis, in general, they want to vote for it immediately, so i think that in the near future, if nothing changes, you can see what we have there are changes going on, it will be submitted, and then the council will sort it out, vote, it will go to the committee there. let 's see what was written there, because there were some previous versions, but there they said that they were not final, the deputies after that submitted their comments or their proposals, so i think that in the near future we will find out everything, and what it will be - fate, well, we'll see that in the hall, so it's very difficult to predict something right now, remember, when it was served last time, they wanted five a day...

the scheme of what we are going to do with him changed several times, as a result he went back to the government, so we will see, it is difficult to predict now, we will wait until the draft law is submitted from the government to the verkhovna rada. thank you, colonel, for the conversation, it was colonel of the sbu, people's deputy of ukraine, roman kostenko. friends, we continue to work live on the tv channel, as well as on our platforms on youtube and facebook, for those who do not watch us live on youtube and facebook. buyer , please like this video, and also vote in our poll. today we ask you about the following: do you allow the freezing of the war in ukraine? yes, no, please vote on youtube with two buttons, either yes or no, write your comment about what you think, and of course, if you watch us on tv, you can call the number if you think that can be frozen war with'.
