the news for this time, you can read more on our website espresso tv, subscribe to follow us on social networks and of course watch us on youtube. the next final news release, wait for it at 9 p.m. greetings, dear viewers, this is the saturday political club, vitaly portnyka, khrystyna yatsky , congratulations, friends, and how zatski, congratulations, friends, and as always we will talk about the main events and the main processes, i would even say so, this week, we will certainly start with the situation of the russian-ukrainian war, that is... the situation at the front, in particular , with everything connected with it. after that

, let's talk about support for us from the outside of the european union and about the long- awaited support from the united states. in the second part of the program, as you well know, vitaly portnikov and his analyst are waiting for us. but we start with a series of such questions and answers with our online guests, and this is oleksiy melnyk, the head of foreign programs. of politics and international security of the reasonable center, congratulations , glory to ukraine, heroes of the word, congratulations, congratulations, mr. oleksiy, so let's start not with an event at the front, but with an event that became possibly the main event of the military-political life in ukraine this week, there are talks about the probable resignation of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, do you even think that such a resignation will take place and what are the prerequisites for reformatting the country's military leadership and for its preservation. by the way, let's discuss the other thing, you said military-political, i would perhaps

say political, military, because obviously there is much more politics in this issue, but also it can have significant and negative consequences for military affairs, er, regarding to the extent that it is possible, well , everything looks like the process is... started, the information campaign is already in full swing, here i am, i'm afraid that a decision will be made after all, although i repeat, it's not too late after all stop, and i hope that someone will explain to those who initiate this decision, and especially to those who will adopt it, that there will be no benefit from this, and damage can be done, well, if not irreparable, then extremely. small, mr. oleksiy, for ukrainians it is very important to understand the alternative, and about it this week too

talked a lot, in your opinion , will the state of leadership , in general, of the ukrainian army, of the ukrainian army change, in the conditions where, on the one hand, we are in the hot stage of the war with the russian federation, and on the other hand, it is not clear who in this war is us leads in a military sense. well, in principle, it is clear to me, because there is a commander-in-chief of the armed forces and he is responsible for both planning and execution of operations in the military, despite all that, no matter how high the level of democracy is in society, the military still has a vertical, and when they say there are some consequences or possible consequences. and in any case , the military is more than other collectives ready

to accept the decision and obey it, that is why there is a certain positive in what is on the one hand a strong strong such quality of the military organization, on the other hand there is also in this certain shortcomings, if we talk about possible replacement alternatives, then... well, first of all, let's still agree that there is more than one general in ukraine who is capable of performing this function, or? will he be better with cope with it, will he be worse with it, what novelty can he bring, we can only say this not at the time of appointment, but after a certain time after he, well, we are now theoretically analyzing the situation hypothetically, that is, after this new commander

may be appointed, but in any case the appointment of a person to a position requires ... a certain time, it is weeks, maybe even months to enter this position, that is, there will be a certain period of transit, and now it is this is also something that would not be desirable to do, any delay in any failure of management can have very tragic consequences. and let's talk, mr. oleksiy, about these proposals that... at one time, zaluzhnyi explained in his article on the portal of the cnn television company, how valid do you think these proposals are, what should be highlighted, maybe what should be argued with? oh, i'm afraid we won't have enough air time, because basically this is a doctrinal article, and it's an article that contains a vision, a strategy, whatever you

want to call it, can you tell me whether do you remember cnn posting their own piece after the article was published explaining if they were trying to explain how they understood the article, so to me that's another testament to the high quality of this piece, well if so it's very succinct to try to single out something, then first of all it is about a new philosophy of combat operations, and actually... attention is drawn to this, when some technical, practical things stand out , but the key thing is a new philosophy of combat operations, it is a combination of traditions with taking into account those technological innovations that are now, this is an emphasis on the preservation of human life, well, and one more

point that is also important to me, it is also determined. a certain period of time in which ukraine can, if it starts doing this immediately, can achieve an advantage over the enemy, on whose side economic advantages in economic, human resources, he talks about five months, which are necessary for it to create these new technical means, train people and apply them on the front line, that is, how... if it really happens, and at this moment it will be the beginning of summer somewhere, then it is possible for ukraine and this window of opportunity will appear, when ukraine will be able to repeat, well, if not an offensive, a counteroffensive, then at least intercept a strategic initiative on the bui field. mr.

oleksiy, in this material valery zaluzhnyi states that the human resources of the russian federation. ours exaggerate, on the other hand, the ukrainian state is not yet able to improve the number of armed forces without using unpopular measures. however , just this week the government sent to of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, the new version of the law on mobilization, if you had the opportunity to read it, do you think it solves the main problems of both the ukrainian army and ukrainian society. "of course, i constantly follow that, those bills, the discussion process, but you and i all understand very well that the best law does not solve problems, at best it creates a base or framework in which this problem can be solved, let's also you

and i will remember how the issue of mobilization turned into a problem of mobilization, i.e this problem did not appear today, and the key thing that needs to be solved is that now the politicians, and this law by law is also in the process of its preparation, and what is in the text of this law, they are still trying to translate the main responsibility lies with the military, but if you turn to other laws, including the law on mobilization, well, it has a longer name, but yes. and a number of laws that are being amended with this bill, then there we will see a whole list, starting from the commander in chief, that is... the president of ukraine, including all ministries, local authorities, and the military there, i mean these so-called military leaders, play only one of the roles,

the final, but only one of the roles, the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the general staff comes in principle at the stage when these people are selected and sent to the armed forces, then yes, they are responsible for their training. er, for their high-quality training and for their application already in accordance with those military specialties, to the level of training, here, but, as on me, this, this key problem is not being solved, at least i don't see it now at this stage, but tell me how critical it is now for the ukrainian army to receive this aid, which is delayed, how much longer can we live on the reserves that we have, realistically speaking. mr. vitaly , i don't know the answer to your question, and i think it's good, because sometimes we are too

fond of openness, and if it's really a great answer, mr. oleksiy, thank you, yes, if someone really reveals these plans, about objectively plans for our enemy, then i i think that they will only applaud this, by the way, about excessive openness, well, i could not help but notice. this week , almost every day, we were told that glsdb gliding bombs are appearing in ukraine, well, we regularly talk about some kind of weapons that we can get, viktoria nolov said, this was spread by everyone in the ukrainian, in particular, information space , then it was confirmed by victoria nulan, of course, but why this time we react to it almost every day, what is the point of such an emphasis on the temporal? in any case, i would like to to hope that there is an information policy, that is, it is not simple, as in such

a normal peaceful life, whoever cries out first will be credited with this merit, i would like to believe that there is a coordinated information policy, because we understand very well that war is not only going on directly in the trenches, the war is also going on in the information space, that is... sometimes it is advisable , for example, to make an announcement if this weapon will not arrive there in the next few weeks, but we have seen other examples with stormshadow missiles, when literally there figuratively saying, a few minutes after it was announced that ukraine would receive storm shadow, the first storm shadow missile hit a target on russian territory, or rather, occupied territory .

by the way, when vladimir putin does not hide his plans, he is already open, he says that we will create a demilitarized zone that will protect the territory of the russian federation from western attacks. and the territory of the russian federation is understood as the territory of ukraine occupied by the russian federation, so how should we treat these plans, in general it is demilitarized from putin's point of view, the zone should end, i don't know, in hungary or slovakia or poland? putin , or this state of putin , was characterized by angela merkel a long time ago, not against the night, we will remember her, but she once... said that he lives in a parallel world, from that moment, all the time, that he, when he says something, he lives in a parallel, parallel reality, in some kind of information bubble of his own, but if, if he were there, well, it would be a discussion,

let's put it this way, and asking these questions asks, that is, a demilitarized zone, that's great, 50 km from the russian border, would lead to russian territory, so ukraine is 50 km from the russian border. yes, this is a normal decision, well, i mean, crimea returns to ukraine and all occupied territories, russian troops are withdrawn from them, this is a demilitarized zone, this is the first step towards peaceful coexistence, it seems like a good decision, but what putin is talking about , well, this is simply a complete absurdity, because it suggests moving this one, that is, it is like this one... here is a mini trawl in front of the tank, here to move him, move him until he stops there, i don't know where in poland, what's more , they have the suval corridor, but this... it's

absolutely, let's put it this way, possible, it must be perceived as a threat that putin is not going to stop , if you don't stop him , mr. oleksiy, very briefly at the end, the general features along the front line, how the situation looks now, whether the active defense tactics we have chosen are yielding results, i would say that this is probably close to the maximum of what is possible now ... achieve these results, because if you look and to compare the maps there is not yesterday , today, but let’s say, at least in a month period, or if you look at a year, then russia occupied almost twice as much territory as we were able to liberate, but this is the criterion which should be used very carefully, because our enemy is trying to...

show his success through territorial gains, and in my opinion, exactly what general zaluzhnyi said in his article, that it is not, it is not is a criterion or should not be a criterion, and it is not what victory is achieved in this way, that is why, unfortunately, the enemy has an advantage in manpower, first of all and not only in number, but in the freedom to throw it at these meat assaults without... consequences for the internal politics of russia itself, and if not there will be enough weapons in ukraine to be able to destroy them, well , to level this numerical advantage, i am afraid that this creeping occupation will continue for some time. thank you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy melnyk, head of foreign policy and international security programs at the razumkov center, was in touch with us, we literally
