during the war and even after the war, it is the military who are able to save their countries and raise them to a new level of development. let's remember the same charles de gaulle, who during the war saved the country, france, and after the war saved it twice. let's remember the great example of general eisenhower, who after the end of the war became the president of the united states twice in a row. such examples are more than enough. and in this, in this line , there is still an example of a general pinachet, you know, is a controversial official, but in the meantime, some believe that he saved chile, some have certain claims, the question is not that, the process has already taken place, only we can state, the worst thing is that the government by pushing the industrious into politics.

for some reason, i am sure that they will be able to shut anyone 's mouth, as they said at one of the meetings in the president's office, we have enough power and means to imprison everyone and shut everyone's mouth, an interesting point, well, god forbid that this is the case with these forecasts and these threats are no predictions, that's right their desire and their view of the situation are mediocre, independence is in our blood, and the ability to make independent decisions and the wishes of the government is in our blood, that is why we survived, even in february of the 22nd year, who did not look at the inaction of the authorities, and what, they did exactly what we needed, defended their own land, without asking a single person with a bank, what should we do, mr. general, let's talk about financial and armed assistance from the united states of america, because the congress of the united states of america cannot to approve the decision to grant ukraine 61

billion dollars, the termination of the supply of american military aid to ukraine is already affecting the course of hostilities, united states secretary of state antony blinken emphasized this at a press conference with nato secretary general jens stoltenberg. let's hear what blinken said at stoltenberg's press conference. currently, we have run out of aid that we provided to ukraine. and we're even seeing some evidence of what that means on the battlefield, but also, if the united states doesn't live up to our commitments, it's going to make it harder for the europeans and other countries the opportunity to continue doing what they are already doing, so i think it matters a lot, even more than a lot. i believe that it is very important that we fulfill our obligations. mr. general, how can you...avoid this

disaster that blinken is talking about, because it is clear that the united states of america is providing a lot of weapons to ukraine, can the germans compensate for that, or great britain at a time when the americans cannot give us this money and weapons, first of all, i would if i were you did not use the word catastrophe, because the catastrophe is still far away, and we still have more than enough of our own resources, and... if you count the amount of money that was stolen and or used for its intended purpose only last year, and if in the year before last, then these will be billions in dollar equivalent, so the question is not that only we are to blame, perhaps we should have long ago developed a clear understanding of how to win this war that will unite the nation, how to raise the economy from... to prepare society for

the ability to defend our own country and prepare our territories, when amateurs self-confidently rule the country, what do you want to hear from them, they will promise you mountains of gold, but you will never see them, you have been going out for years and looking, you have seen growing up a billion of those trees that you were told about, you go out and see that every grandmother has a babushka background, so it is still there on... they promised, they lie just to lie, and the next lie is interrupted by the previous one, so for we need to understand that there is no question yet catastrophe, i would refuse such a word at this stage, and secondly, after all, we should not only expect that someone will give us something, raise questions and say that in the future we are ready to pay for that equipment, those ammunition. and other equipment

that will be provided to us, we will have to pay in the future, well , the time has come to admit that the time has passed, and yet, due to the inaction of the authorities and the inability to organize... production both inside the country and outside the borders on a large scale, after all, you have to pay for these mistakes, no matter how popular it is, because the question now is about the survival of the country and about the survival of the nation, so the time comes to pay for everything in your life, just probably for the 30- plus years that we did not do in full-time, what we had to do with wonderful capacity , the time has come to raise the issue and... after all, pay not now, not the day after tomorrow, but still, if we clearly define what we will pay for the products that we will receive for certain directions, then the amount of this production will increase significantly, because in the capitalist world, no one wants

to produce products just like that, and factories that are idle in european society can produce much more in american society, if they understand that... they will still make money from it over time, it's just a matter of time. mr. general, you mentioned corruption in the ministry of defense, well, in the army itself, there is a case that got to the sbu, and they finally dealt with it, this is the lviv arsenal, where they tried to steal 1.5 billion uah for the purchase of ammunition. in particular , the sbu detained. former manager of the department of military-technical policy for the development of weapons and military equipment of the ministry of defense oleksandr liev, the higher anti-corruption court has already rejected the prosecutor's request to take liev into custody, liev himself says that the suspicion handed to him is meaningless, and the detention is an unfortunate

misunderstanding. let's hear what this man has to say. the economic case, the state of ukraine won, the appeal and... the main instance established that the ministry of defense has a legal contract, a legal contract, and that 200 million sanctions from of this company, but the reasons for its non-fulfilment really need to be understood, probably in criminal proceedings, and i am ready to contribute more and more to this, well, let's say that it is carried out as soon as possible and that it is included. to return the money and in general consider this case as a case that the ministry of defense will in the future, well, draw all the conclusions, so that such and such are unique. mr. general, who do you think is responsible for the corruption of the ministry of defense? those people who are in

leadership positions in the ministry of defense are people who are appointed by certain officials. ot the question must be asked, whose people are these and who appointed them, and directly, who is ours. responsibility for their appointment, it is fast enough, because there are no ordinary people there, just as there are not many professionals there, but meanwhile all these people are appointed in agreement with the president's office from the cabinet of ministers. how do you think those who steal from the army during wartime should be treated. everything is very simple, there are more than enough free branches to cross someone. and one more question, mr. general, regarding mobilization 2024, because it is literally february 6 it should reach the verkhovna rada, has it already reached this draft law, well, obviously , the law on

mobilization will be considered starting from february 6, do you think the commander in chief should personally present this draft law in the verkhovna rada, because in the last interview with the german ard he said about that... well, the military has prepared something there, and we'll see what, what, what's actually in the law there. good question, i would like to ask a counter question, and does he know his degree of responsibility and duties in the existing law on mobilization mobilization preparation. from my point of view, this law is written more than normally professionally. please note, from the 14th to the beginning of the 23rd year, we had no problems with this law, it worked. and. for some reason it suddenly stopped working, so maybe the problem is in the implementation of this law? in this , well, in this situation, zelenskyi is responsible, including for this law, i understand correctly, of course,

the duties of the president are clearly written there, what exactly and how he must do, there is a huge number of his duties ties, and first of all efforts... to change and amend the law, i see this as an attempt to get into power from responsibility and to transfer this responsibility primarily to the military, although in the existing law in this... version that we have and implement, the military is somewhere at the very end lists of responsibilities, they are consumers, and the most important thing is that listening to the president, we always understand, and listening to the authorities, we understand that they perceive mobilizations as purely fulfilling the capacity to fill military units with citizens of ukraine, primarily this the ability of the economy to work in especially on the rails of a special period, we do not see this at all. it does not deal with this, therefore the authorities, realizing that sooner or later they will have to bear responsibility for inaction, are trying to change this law

and divert the attention of the public from the unprofessional actions of the authorities, accordingly - the governing documents. thank you, mr. general, for the conversation, this was serhiy kryvonos, reserve major general of the armed forces of ukraine. friends, we continue our work on the air of the tv channel, as well as on our platforms in youtube and facebook. for those who are currently watching us on youtube. and on facebook , don’t be stingy, please like this video, let this video go into youtube trends, and let this video be watched by as many of our viewers in ukraine and outside ukraine as possible, and take part in our survey, today we ask you about that is, do you trust the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, yes no, if you vote on youtube, everything is quite simple, or write your own opinion in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote, if you trust

0.800-211-381, not 0800-211-382, all calls to these numbers are free, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next, oleg rybachuk, head of the center for joint actions, former vice-prime minister for european integration and former head of the presidential administration, will be in touch with us. yushchenko, mr. olezh, i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today, good evening, i am glad to see you, i think that you have been following this whole story with zaluzhnym, which yesterday unfolded, how it unfolded, such as these rumors, because at the moment it is the rumors about the resignation of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine that affect how our western partners perceive, that is, whether they... understand at all what is happening in ukraine, i mean from by those people who lead the army, who, on

whom the victory of ukraine depends? it is obvious that this is a side effect of the management system built by our president, when he and his five or six advisers pull everything out for him, and he wrote about it. conferences stated, and i well remember that the first publications about zaluzhny's resignation, ukrainian publications said that the people around bankova street said that andriy was the first to pay attention to the phenomenon of zaluzhny, to his ratings, and andriy began to whisper, and everyone said : oh, sure, something needs to be done about it, because the person's rating is so high. it could be a threat, well, andrii whispered, yermak, yermak, you mean,

yes, yes, yes, well, who are we there, we have one there, and i don’t know, maybe there are some other andrii, but the alarm andriy yermak was the first to score, and people there said that, yes, indeed, we somehow did not pay attention, there is such a problem, and this one, it was somewhere there, several months ago, as a result, we have a typical ukrainian situation, which i can say that for it is clear to me that the release of the slave is only a matter of time, i think that this is also understood in the west, and i saw that you asked the guest whether the west could somehow slow down or influence it, er, it is already not a reversible process, it is like metastases of cancer in the body, when... the president does not have a relationship

with the head, these two people, for the first time in our country a situation when the president is the president of a country in a state of war, so it's not just some formal things, politically, the president has all the opportunities and powers to release anyone in his orbit and even not in his orbit, that's the case with us. . the authorities have built up, and it is obvious that there will be no such effective cooperation, there will be some kind of pause, and then everything will be fine, ah, everything will be fine... we remember stories when, for example, unbeknownst to him, unbeknownst to him, decision on the resignation of his subordinates, the same story has been going on for quite some time it drags on, it is very unhealthy, but here , as they say, there is no council for that, we have such a governance structure in the country, we have such

presidents, we do not have balance sheets, and public opinion... here the process can be somewhat delayed, but in our country well, everyone has powerful pr teams working, and all their energy will be directed to simply, well, cover with an umbrella from the criticism of their boss and transfer the criticism somewhere in another field, well, here i am here, what else is special about the hard-working, well, because his image is so pretty well so mythical a little, because this is not... a public person , we don't know, the military may know, but we do n't know, the citizens who now support the hard-working man, they have no idea what kind of public politician he will be, because he has never been a public politician, and i i don't know this, and you don't know this, but it seems that zaluzhnyi will not have a special choice, because there will be

an attempt to destroy his image, and i always remember the situation there... with kuchma, when yushchenko had such crazy ratings and in everyone at the national bank was worried that kuchma would not forgive this, kuchma wanted to destroy this rend, he appointed yushchenko as prime minister, but it ended , you know how, that is, well, from the point of view of those guys and girls at the bank, it is dangerous to play such things, because ukrainian voters, the sympathy of ukrainian voters is always on the side of those you want slander and against whom you are conducting such, well, you know... a despicable campaign to destroy the image, but it seems that this process has already started and i think that it cannot be stopped. but here, mr. olezh, we are talking, well, not only about the political future or about the politician who is industrious, but we are talking about the future of ukraine, because the current russian

propagandists are spreading the story about zaluzhny and are trying to use it, as they say in the institute of war studies of the united states of america, for a series of information operations about the internal affairs of ukraine, that is, of course, this story will be used by the russians in order to split society, in order to say that, here you are look, president zelenskyi removed a hard worker, and for a hard worker, 80% of citizens there or 70% of citizens there, and this will push more radical people there to express themselves or do something. well, of course there is martial law, no one will go to the square, but still this is the story, why, why can't the same president zelenskyi, his team, why can't they push away these political jealousies, which, if they exist, or if there are specific claims against to the commander

-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, then say: well , listen, we want that, or we... there we believe that he is not doing that, or that they do not have enough competence for this, or that it is enough only to disperse this the whole story, and well, in fact, we have been watching this series for six months there, maryana bezugla against the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, or zelenskyi’s version of maryan and valer, well, the questions to which the answer is obvious, the short answer is yes... there are no tendencies, no understanding, no responsibility , no strategic thinking, was it difficult to calculate the consequences, well, the consequences were obvious, i don't think they are that much anymore, because this is zelensky's team - this is a team of information workers, these are daily measurements of the temperature

of public opinion polls, there, launching trial information there... the reaction was predicted, and there is such a reaction, but you see , it’s like, well, it’s, for example, how completely stupid it was when zelenskyi fought with poroshenko, who had simply lost everything politically, when there was a court not far away from me, and there i was everyone the other day i heard these rallies with loudspeakers, because from the point of view of politics, well, they are a huge mess on... why, why are you doing this, this is obviously a burgeoning situation, but they were talking about personal ambitions, personal likes, dislikes, i again, i don't i know what is happening there, but for... it is not clear what without personal position, these personal phobias , emotions, well, these personality of the president,

the situation would not go like this, but his entourage, which is selected and already fully emasculated there, it does not want to say anything, so as not to like it, to stimulate the president, and this is the most wrong politics, because... this kind of construction always leads to defeat, because the strong people leave, there are scumbags left who tell you what you want to hear, and as a result, such a team just flies tartarara, and god be with them, but we are talking exactly, we are talking about what it is now ukraine, war, such stakes, er, such responsibility, such a level of threat, and on top of all this, er, war, frogs from vipers. against this background, mr. oleg, this whole story is unfolding in the united states of america, that is , the election campaign, which was imposed on the lack of a decision of the congress

of the united states of america to provide financial assistance to ukraine in the amount of 61 billion dollars, it is clear that trump is now trying to outplay biden and talking about the fact that i will come to power, i will finish it in 24 hours. war, because i know very well and putin, and zelensky, trump says that nato would never help the united states of america if someone attacked the united states of america, well, that is, there is now such an informational big pump in the united states of america, or in general they are not aware of what is happening in ukraine, what is happening in the russian-ukrainian war, such as this election campaign, which we will already observe... including in the state of texas, how it will affect the general situation in ukraine and the russian-ukrainian war. well

, we can say that exactly what is happening now yesterday, today, these news, and the dances with bubn around zaluzny, do not add to the supporters of support for ukraine and do not simplify, do not encourage a positive decision of the congress, because those who would not want to... give weapons to ukraine, these are entrenched trumpists , for them this is, well, this is just an obvious argument, and it must be said that russia is also working very hard there, russia is working to add fuel to the fire in internal ukrainian events as much as possible, and of course all the agents of russian influence, there are all kinds of fox newszy and congressmen, which ones are not... they hide the fact that they work for their interests and sympathize with putin, they receive additional arguments, but

in general there appeared, well, there appeared certain positive, positive information, which republicans talk about the fact that they say we significantly overestimate and we increase, or give too much attention to, opportunities. to influence trump, because a number of western publications, you know, said that trump is personally calling congressmen, senators in order not to miss the signing of this treaty, and secondly, there is a sociological survey already appeared, which show that 53% of republican voters do not want and will not vote for trump, and somewhere around 18 percent are doubtful, but i don't know, there are a lot of sociological ones. polls , i'm afraid that it would be some kind of, well, not a deep enough sample, but it is clear that trump will be nominated by

the republican party candidate without any obstacles, but his chances of winning are becoming more and more problematic, and as experts write, he actually already used all his arguments, he used all these arguments at priymaries at the first candidate screenings, where he won there with an advantage, but his task is not to win the primaries, not just to become the candidate of the republican party, his task is to win over the american voter, and a lot of republicans, republicans who have always voted for the party, they say, we are for trump, in his case of entering the finals against biden, we will never vote, and therefore this, this makes the situation... well, not so tragic or not so threatening for ukraine, although for ukraine we are in ukraine we have to think about plan b, now this plan b is... the possibility

of using part of the frozen assets both in the united states and in europe, now they are talking about it, the europeans are talking about the fact that you can use those percentages from taxation there, but it will all be native billions of dollars, but the main thing is that they are starting to think about plan b very actively, and the main thing is that the europeans also realized that this war in the european theater is a threat to the european continent, and they cannot fully calculate. well, the constant and reliable support of the united states is already here the united states has suffered certain losses in geopolitics and in the confidence of its allies in its ability to come to the rescue when needed. at a time when trump is talking about the fact that he will do everything for peace in ukraine, er, and that he will reconcile, as he says, putin and zelensky, the prime minister.

hungary's viktor orbán declared that the world has a name, donald trump sang an ode to trump, although trump had previously confused him with erdogan, or erdogan with orbán, that is, trump has problems with geography, obviously by the leaders of european states, so precisely , against this background, we see how the far-right in hungary and romania began to talk about... encroachment on ukrainian lands, well, one of the leaders of the far-right alliance for the union of romanians , claudio tarziu, declared territorial claims on ukrainian the lands of northern bukovyna, transcarpathia, bessarabia, as well as all of moldova. at the same time, the leader of the far-right hungarian party, lászló torackai, said that his party, as the only hungarian party , would claim ukrainian transcarpathia in the event of the loss of ukraine and statehood in as a result of the war. parallel. two statements that

came from the far-right in hungary and romania, almost at the same time, what does this indicate, who is coordinating the actions of these far-right in europe? in europe, this, this, this is the work of the old, good, there is the kgb, and the fsb, all ultra-right, from soviet times, ultra-right, ultra-left, radical forces, the so-called black international there. this has always been a special area of ​​work of the special services of the soviet union, and even now the fsb and putin do not hide it, they were financed, probably still are financed by these services, but it appeared at the exact moment when the confidence that the west could give an adequate assessment of

putin's actions was shaken. this attempt to avoid escalation, an attempt to find some search for dialogue, when putin was simply violating international law as he wanted, the dictators got the feeling that now their moment is coming, when the new world order will be determined by them, they faster, now putin will go there to north korea, and they will not be there for months... talk about some specifics, to coordinate something, they met, agreed, on the second day, korea gives more shells and missiles there than the entire european continent together with the americans, and we are still witnessing the ongoing negotiations, consultations, and this is obvious, an obvious challenge to the system of democracy, because it is more reliable, some european politicians understand this, the germans began to understand this,

great britain began to understand this... great britain, great britain, british politicians, france understands this, that is, that is why european powers began to react much faster, increased military spending, conducted the largest maneuvers, nato exercises, in case, in case of a potential or possible attack by russia, the germans for the first time in history after the second world war transferred their troops at the invitation of the baltic states. the americans are also transferring nuclear weapons to great britain for the first time, this is all the reaction and readiness of the europeans to demonstrate very clearly to putin that there are red lines, and he does not define them, he must understand that there is also power in the world, there are nuclear weapons, there is a readiness to fight , and western politicians started preparing...
